That blacksmith was really cool. On most videos where youtubers go to a person's place of business, those people aren't so friendly. But the blacksmith was really friendly and seemed genuinely interested .

[@tuckerabbott]

98 percent of blacksmiths I've worked with have been very kind

[@gordonfischer8484]

Yeah blacksmiths and knife makers are generally nice helpful to people I have found.

[@goodbye8995]

No one cares.

[@oabagobaaaoooo]

Oobleck VS Powerhammer

[@Fsilone]

I need this in my life.

[@wishi-won659]

That would be cool

[@newhillroad]

did u know that oobleck is actually a non newtonian fluid that ....

[@skirmish666]

How hard is a red-hot sword made of oobleck filled with salt run at 30m/s into a giant magnet inside a watermelon at the bottom of a fishtank that has 20,000 volts running through it.

[@TheKingofRandom]

For the next experiment, try spitting on a piece of red hot iron then hitting it with your hammer

[@TheBackyardScientist]

burning spit smells bad

Touché, ya really didn't do the myth quite right by the letter. Hmmm... There may still be nothing to it, but maybe try it out the 'right' way next time. For Science!!

[@TheBackyardScientist]

Sooo... That Power Hammer is pretty sweet! Im dreaming about smashing some things in it, got any ideas?! Any Blacksmiths in the house??

[@tylerb9106]

[@brockgregersen9527]

And on this episode of Smythbusters...

[@TheBackyardScientist]

Oh That's a good one

[@RealCadde]

Why does the commenter have less likes than TheBackyardScientist? It's the commenter that provided the fun content, not the responder. Oh, right... KZbin logic and fangirls at it's finest.

[@RealCadde]

Now he does yes. You know, time does advance in real life.

[@tipshaun3630]

[@commentingaccount4791]

"Hey guys, I'm a blacksmith." I like Trent, he keeps things simple

[@SleakDarkRaven]

at 1.34 it says "Title" is that the first mistake he has made?

[@samherport7586]

No there are audio issues in this video too

[@puppledup1415]

You dare call that a mistake

[@sniperely7915]

Happy little accidents! =))

[@joshuav8061]

Dude. This guy here seemed not only happy to help, but seemed genuinely happy that people have taken an interest in him. Truly, the blacksmith are a dying breed, so I wonder if it sort of... reassured him, in a way. Loved seeing his happiness and the intrigue of BYS as I havr been spamming these videos since 10pm (it is now 3:51am)

[@TheUserU2]

"We had a blast" That was a PUNishment.

[@Oroborospaces]

You're not funny.

[@TheUserU2]

I'm not punny enough?

The blacksmith is a cool guy. He knows what he is doing. Fun to watch. At threshing shows the blacksmith personalities vary quite a bit, but this man is a real gem.

[@gabeross9745]

This man is sweating more then a blind lesbian at a fish market.

Gabe Ross blacksmith shops get realy hot i can be in the one i visset in the summer for more than an hour.

[@gamersassemble5807]

Gabe Ross 😏

[@beachboardfan9544]

Do this same experiment but with titanium or any of the alkali metals!

[@pinruihuang8463]

u mean potassium, titanium is a transition metal. GET UR CHEMISTRY RIGHT

[@beachboardfan9544]

No I mean titanium, because red hot titanium will break apart the hydrogen oxygen bond of water, absorb the oxygen and leave behind sweet explosive hydrogen. I added the alkali metals because all of them are simply reactive with water. Appreciate the aggressive comment from a 10yr old tho, wont make much of an adult with pretentiousness and cynicism.

[@pinruihuang8463]

wait, WHAT? titanium is a inert-ish metal. It doesn't react THAT much.

[@pinruihuang8463]

liked for your chemical knowledge.

[@beachboardfan9544]

Yea, Ti is fairly inert until you heat it, not only will it produce an exothermic reaction with oxygen (like most metals) it will also react with the nitrogen in the air in the same way it does with oxygen. A few race engine mfg.'s had some catastrophic failures while testing some Ti components, the Ti got hot enough to combust and well turned into TiO2 and TiN2 (essentially a white-ish powder). Ti is really only useful as as non-friction structural components... unless its goes through extensive surface coating procedures.

[@yellowswagmuffin920]

that's wierd my anvil is outside and I've forged in the rain no problem

[@deathd0ng]

yellow swag muffin yeah suuure.

[@tiddlez7379]

This was awesome, you should try to see if the sparks from the explosion would set off a fuse! That would be cool

[@aegeon5650]

[@Brony22]

machine from 1902 and still works, engineering at its finest during that time.

[@EliteSparklz]

Power hammer oobleck would be interesting At what point does the oobleck just give way and let the hammer through

[@toastom]

This needs to happen. Would the oobleck just crumple into dust and reform into liquid?

[@ianboekweg3916]

ಠ_ಠ

[@RealCadde]

It would give way pretty much immediately.

[@verdiss7487]

Oobleck in its solid phase still isn't that strong. THe hammer would simply smash through it.

[@bridgetownforge4255]

Huh. I've been a professional smith for 22 years and never heard this myth. In Japan, where I trained, its routine to splash water on the anvil to generate a steam explosion and tear the forging scale off the steel. Works well under the power hammer, too -- you use a straw brush to flick water both on top and bottom of your steel. Nice vid!

[@TheBackyardScientist]

It was supposed to say "see description for why blacksmiths tap their anvils". I forgot I put the title in, and skipped over that part on final review because I watched it 100 times already and "i knew it was already fine"

I Understand the feeling. Happens to the best of us. Keep up the good work. How are you liking the Chronos?

[@misraarnab15]

Hey Backyard scientist, I've got a new idea to make another explosion. This is called aluminum and iron oxide, with strict rules, this can be dangerous so wear heavy protection. Step 1: Powdered iron oxide and aluminium are mixed in a glass breaker. To be safe place it in an a cast-iron vessel filled with sand to control the awesome reaction. Step 2: A magnesium ribbon is lit to ignite the powdered metal mixture as the temperature rises to 4,530 degrees F, the aluminium tears the oxygen away from the iron oxide. The whole area is showered with red hot burning metal. Step 3: Look in the pot and aw at the aftermath. -The Elements by: Dan Green PLZ PLZ PLZ do this for your viewers, thanks

[@Fsilone]

Literally everyone has heard of thermite.

[@zigg8798]

It's called thermite

He's done Thermite reactions before, and I agree that they are beautiful, and deadly.

Pretty cool experience. Glad he explained the purpose behind wet forging. Shame there hasn't been an upload to his youtube channel in 4 years.

[@ibrahimassaf7290]

What a wholesome guy that blacksmith, I hope he has a great life.

[@IrchaMan]

This was a really great video! Seems like a pretty cool dude! :D

[@fullerblacksmithing7954]

Also, if you pour borax on the surface, and let it melt, then smack it, you get lots of sparks. Just be careful they do BURN. Also, hot metal is hot, even if it doesn't look like it. Burnt my hand a few times picking up black metal that was roughly 900 degrees

[@pianochannel100]

Nice guy you filmed with!

[@Ahris_aus_der_8._Dimension]

My theory on this is as follows: Water, or steam, separates at a temperature of 1,700°C into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is called "thermal dissociation". When forging steel, the workpiece is heated to "only" 950-1,250°C. Now when the hammer strikes the workpiece, a higher pressure is created underneath or in the water, which temporarily leads to higher temperatures. The temperatures thus generated could be sufficient to split the water directly into hydrogen and oxygen, which would result in a small explosion of gas. I don't know if this is right, but at least I can imagine it like this ^^

[@reageermeneer5249]

That guy is awesome! You should make more video's with him!

[@waltermello4476]

That was really fascinating and fun!thank you👍🏼👍🏼

[@kdrgaming3344]

Reminds me of putting thermite on ice. May have a small coullombic detonation going on.

[@adhdrenalin4392]

What caused the sparks is that he heated the steel up almost to the point of melting it, not actually the water. You can see it sparkling right as he takes it out of the forge.

[@subzero6796]

What you just tried is called wet forging. It's actually an old Japanese blacksmithing technique that is used to blast the scale off your Steel leaving you with a much cleaner peace.

[@cratormaster542]

Great video man!

[@TheRiverRat96]

Seems like such a down to earth guy. Looked like y’all got a long well.

This is so educational... You Should be on Tv!!

[@mickeymouse12678]

This blacksmith guy seemed very nice. :) And dang, that power hammer is intense!

[@Lucas-nf7uj]

Part of the reason it exploded so much is he had it suuuper hot. You can even see the metal burning when he pulls it out

[@eh9deux]

Oh man this guy is the definition of a wholesome American. I can imagine him narrating an old school Army instructional movie.

[@CPTDilxDozer]

on forged in fire there was a guy that blow the slag off his stock with water on the anvil. he poured water on his though. he warned the camera crew to stand the hell back and the resulting pop shocked every other Smith in the shop.

[@RIFLQ]

[@taylorowens3721]

The new Myth buster!

[@MarcusAntonio.]

what if you made a dent in the metal first. IDK but perhaps the water pooled up in the dent might make the steam have more trouble getting out of the way. just a thought
