Blender Vs. Thermite | Crazy Blender Experiment!

[@Beyondthepress]

And the giant blender build is still alive! I have been just too busy with everything going on with both of our big channels but I try to get back on it in this month :D

[@BlackWolf42-]

Are we taking bets as to when that fingernail falls off?

[@Beyondthepress]

@@BlackWolf42- It's not falling of :D There is just some color inside of the nail. It has been probably one month now and the colored part is about halfway on it's way out. I can do extra content about the nail situation on next video :D

[@KnifeKnut]

I think the ping sound was from the handle which vibrated instead of breaking into pieces.

[@blower1]

@@Beyondthepress Will be like snow dump update, but nail blob instead ;)

[@OB1canblowme]

Since the fine thermite dust suspended in air seemed to create a really cool effect, how about making a "Thermite Flamethrower 5000000" that feeds thermite from some sort of tank into the air in a fine dust cloud? Could probably do it by modifying a vacuum cleaner set to the "blow mode"

[@dropgold]

Idea for'Extra content' video... take blender back to store and ask for refund. Tell them you were only blending a hot curry mix. ;)

[@Rubensgardens.Skogsmuseum]

You were before me making this comment! Yes please do!

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

dropgold : lmfao.👍👍🇨🇦

[@itsevilbert]

And I'm sure that blendtec ("will it blend" youtube channel ) probably would have sponsored them as well, to destroy the competitions blender.

[@Scynthius137]

Obviously defective. Return to store.

[@samuelprice538]

No they have to be totally honest with the site but look puzzled when the say no, like blending thermite is a totally normal thing.

[@johnturner4400]

“Let’s go and look at the blender now it’s cooled down a bit” Why is this now a normal sentence?

[@bubbajenkins123]

Has science gone too far? No. It hasn’t gone far enough. Go further, Lauri and Anni! Much further!!!!

Nothing says 'success' like daibolical Finnish laughter. :)

[@Dropshot64]

Even a year later, this is still one of the coolest thermite explosions you've done!

[@msanchez7317]

Holy moly!! I did NOT expect that to explode. Glad you guys backed up as far as you did, and did not leave the propane torches! That is one good blender ;)

[@Schm1dtstorm]

Really interesting how there were actually two explosions! You can see this on the black and white slow-mo camera. First, all the spinning dust explodes, which sends the lid off and is the big explosion, but the glass for the blender is actually still ok. Then, all the remaining thermite in the bottom of the blender explodes, which breaks the glass.

[@mrpandabites]

One of the best results on the channel! The thermite looks really cool flying into the snow.

[@UhEaux]

that Finske road... i'm speechless. so beautiful.

[@viridiscoyote7038]

You managed to gather all five elements of the "Dust Explosion Pentagon!" This is a huge problem for grain silos, but you did it with thermite, which I approve.

[@Nick.Barnes]

this is why you're the best channel on youtubes!

[@FlyNAA]

“And I think with the thermite, more is more!”

[@UloPe]

Can’t argue with that.

[@confushisushi]

Wisdom to live by.

[@primus108]

I see a new t-shirt logo....With thermite, more is more. Beyond the Press Channel KZbin.

[@budthecyborg4575]

Actually we would have got a bigger explosion with less thermite.

[@SeriousBurnsUnit]

Indeed, if you can't solve a problem with thermite, you need more thermite.

[@AlexanderGee]

This is the best Beyond the press ever! That delicate shock-wave in the high-speed and then the glass exploding. It's like a ballet!

[@bundles1978]

next time throw some pieces of ferrocerium in there with the thermite, lighter flints

[@andy2108]

And remove the lid so there's more oxygen available

[@ke6gwf]

@@andy2108 thermite doesn't need oxygen

[@FireAngelOfLondon]

@@andy2108 Thermite contains an oxidant so it doesn't need an external source of oxygen.

[@nosirrahx]

Toss in a few pieces of Magnesium.

[@lorditsprobingtime6668]

@bundles1978. Agreed. BUT! Plug it in at the furthest end of the lead AWAY from the blender! I near shit myself when you started it up standing right there, THEN run back and grab that torch. That was incredibly and unnecessarily dangerous.

[@timorus8090]

Finnish smoothie mix. Don't breathe.

[@Beyondthepress]

Yep there is healthy amount of aluminium powder there that isn't good :D

[@beardy4831]

Very interesting that there were actually three explosions there. 1 the airborne powder, 2 the rest of the powder, then 3 much later the glass. Looks like the glass broke from the sudden temperature change rather than the force of the thermite exploding.

[@CannonKnight]

I'm not sure which is the most beautiful: the explosion, the incredible Finnish scenery, or Anni's hair blending perfectly with her coat.

[@pete5405]

The road from the extra content looks very pleasant to drive, you have the perfect car for this :) I think I would enjoy driving roads like this for hours :)

[@dlcarburetor]

Very cool slow motion capture. Very cool to see the dust ignite then the termite inside the glass. Two separate explosions in one.

[@Zimke42]

I think that was your best little experiment ever! I really liked it.

[@HammyTechnoid]

When I see titles like this.. I give *thumbs up* even before watching... *It's Gonna Be Good!!!!*

[@JesusRocksTryPrayin]

Everything in slow motion is beautiful, but you guys take it to the next level :D the explosion looked almost like a mini mushroom cloud on this one :D

[@jasonwright1687]

Yes. Pressure, mixing in air as fine particles, ignites very fast, and then pressure sends it flying. Very nice.

[@aidans4866]

I have alot of respect for you two. Good work on making your videos english, without a translator. I have alot of respect for that.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Your content never fails to leave me with a smile on my face.

[@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002]

HHAHAHAHAH “ this video isn’t sponsored by Electrolux… But it should be”😂😂

[@thebobloblawshow8832]

You guys never disappoint. I love blowing stuff up.

[@tinderbox218]

Weird to see explosions in such a beautiful winter wonderland ❄️🔥😲

[@JoeStuffz]

Some blenders actually make soup using the friction from the blades to heat up the liquid. They tend to be the high-end like Blendtec and Vitamix (Blendtec actually has a soup button). I wonder if one of those will ignite the thermite. I wonder if it would get hot enough though

[@blower1]

You two are my two most favourite people on all of youtube!

[@slashmacleod]

Cheeseburger here! (Moi Sari :P) really stupid dangerous termite video, so great as always. Keep it up guys #Finlandisreal

[@ulfvonweimuller4433]

[@DonOdin]

Fill a balloon with thermite and pop it 2 m above the sparkling stick.

[@nonna_sof5889]

Hydrogen filled weather balloon w/ a bucket of thermite suspended under it. Detonated as high as can be done safely.

Awesome vid Lauri/Annie,that was a very impressive explosion. Finland is very beautiful in the winter time,I like how the pine trees are coated in snow. 😎👍

[@tubehepa]

Seems to me most of the trees are spruces...

Thats was an absolutely spectacular explosion , i think one of the best you've ever done , Thanx for sharing this with us :):):)

[@sneakysnake109]

Slow motion was awesome. Major explosion seemed to be from the bottom, that's the one that exploded the glass! Thanks

[@thomas4844]

Exploding blender, thermite, slow-mo cameras, and snow. Just another normal day.

[@russellkowalski4901]

Best slo mo so far this year!

[@TrackGeeks]

Looks like the glass shattered from the temperature of the termite and not due to pressure.

[@Beyondthepress]

yep there is quite much delay on that after the dust explosion. I had to even fastforward on slow motion clip

[@Darwinpasta]

That surprised me, too.

[@RustyDust101]

Dito, saw that and was really astonished that the glass of the blender took quite a few micro seconds more after the explosive thermite reaction to follow suite.

[@andyboys5669]

But how would that explain the glass shattering outwards, internal pressure from being moulded?

[@fawksntrawks]

Thermite is very sensitive, the glass decided it should go ahead and explode too so no feelings would be hurt.

[@MRBROWSER2012]

you guys did it again! love your videos. was worried when you ran back for the tools.

[@Basement-Science]

Now you should try the same thing but with flour. Flour explosion!

[@neurhlp]

you need to preheat it, or use pure oxygen, otherwise flour fails to detonate (it burns without detonation)

[@neurhlp]

also: using oxygen with flour is stupidly dangerous

[@randombloke82]

neurhlp not even slightly. Before people figured this out, flour silos used to explode spontaneously with some regularity as they got closer to being empty. Basically get a fine enough powder or vapour of anything even vaguely flammable (works with concrete and/or brick dust if you grind it fine enough) and the right proportion of air and you can get a boom.

[@rootbrian4815]

I did that before, mini explosions, when the toaster oven caught fire... NEVER toast buttered DRY rice cakes! xD

[@william21186]

Yep... Found my most favorite video of yours... The extra content is very beautiful. 👍👍

[@redsquirrelftw]

I was not expecting such a huge explosion that was great! Nice scenery, reminds me of here in northern Ontario.

[@meadowviewlawncarellc8079]

It looks like that you may have some our snow missing from this winter. Only around 8-9 inches so far all winter. Feel free to send some to the northeast of the usa!Cool video!

[@marklarson8121]

What can I say, another great video, I really enjoyed it! I think it was the thermo shock that broke the glass? Maybe next time try a metal container just to see if there is a difference. Well guys have a great day and a great week! A safe one too!

[@davidclark3603]

It is absolutely beautiful in the snow where you live!

[@supermanacf]

I didn't expect it to be that good of a reaction. Great video!

"We are professionals," you say, but earlier it was "I forgot the gas torches." Very professional. 😊 Running back and forth while the fuse burned seems a lot like the Wallace & Gromit film "A Grand Day Out."

If you hear 'thermite' as 'termite', the dialogue at the beginning still makes sense.

Lauri, your slo-mo sequences always look like a scene from "DieHard". 👍👍👍

[@matthewsaxman1028]

You could try putting a nail or other piece of steel in with the thermite to make sparks, which would hopefully ignite it without the sparkler. Great video!

Amazing experiment! Basically, termite powder ignites in the air exactly like flour dust from spark in old mill if air and powder concentration is in proper consistence.. :)

[@ambulocetusnatans]

I thought they were going to put termites in a blender. This had a completely different outcome.

[@MeanBeanKerosene]

Good one Lauri, you nearly blew up half of the Lapland. On the upside, you'd get one hell of a video.

[@MatthewSuffidy]

Now you need a top loading washing machine in spin and full of thermite.

[@darthbiker2311]

5:23 So beautiful...I don't even care if it's in black and white.

[@ruawhitepaw]

If you look closely at 2:45, the reel for the electric wire moves a bit when the power is turned off. What causes that, magnetic fields?

[@Beyondthepress]

it might be something to do with electricity since I had really poor electricity setup with this video. Cheap generator with out any good ground wire attached to it

[@BixbyConsequence]

Should not have been, unless it was running on direct current?

[@Gabriel-kz6kb]

its the cable, it was moving the electric wire wheel

[@Spillage66]

It was the cable being unplugged to the power source, not the reel moving. Less distance, slacker cable. See?

That was amazing! Have you noticed how long was delay between first explosion, and explosion of the glass bowl? And this sound of glass! Lauri, can you build a ramjet engine, using thermite as a fuel?

[@henrituhola]

How the bowl tolerated few microseconds before it did "flash explosion, fire, molten metal!? Thxbye!"

[@cvkline]

Most interesting video as always. I liked how in the slow-motion, the powder in the air clearly detonates first, but before all hell breaks loose you can see the start of the burning of the stuff sitting at the bottom of the blender as well. Who was your anonymous guest? :)

A thermite version of the cornstarch flamethrower, except incredibly more dangerous. Maybe use the big air tank, fill the pipe with thermite, then have a sparkler in front of the pipe. That would be reslly cool.

i think the blendtech guy would approve
