How I Made a Powerful Powdered Coffee Creamer Flamethrower!

[@Not0nSaturn]

Hope you come back, the world is not the Same without your awesome creations.

[@twofaced4923]

Pretty impressive. I knew you could make explosions out of grain dust, but I never thought you could do it with coffee creamer. Awesome project man!

[@randomn6473]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@korishan]

You think coffee creamer is impressive, you should see cinnamon powder 😉

[@MrKaMiKaDzE345]

I suggest you to search for the Mythbusters and coffee cream explosion)

[@СНІМР]

anything is dangerous if it's small enough

[@offgridmanpolktn]

​@@randomn6473 Maybe a mesh filter like used in foamçrete guns will help. Seems like you need to control your particle concentration compared to airflow quantity for a even burn over a longer time. Just an old fart chiming in

[@gabrielsawyer3106]

If this doesn't go viral I'ma go to KZbin myself and give them a piece of my mind!!! Awesome stuff!

[@masondawson4061]

My friend Sergey makes a circuit board that allows you to pulse a solenoid at rates from 300 rpm to 12,000 rpm. We use it in PCP bb machine guns. I wonder if you could find a sweet spot pulsing your solenoid. I'd attach a link, but it would probably disappear this comment. Here are some keywords. Sergey's Board, Drozd, Superbird

I think one way you might be able to get better flow is if you added some air lines to the bottom to actually fluidize the powder. Another way is to flip the unit upside down and add an inner siphon tube that goes down into the center. Air comes in the bottom, throws the powder up, aerates it, then catch the flowing air(venturi action) and flies up the tube the weight of the creamer naturally feeds down into the opening and flies straight up the centertube. In short: air goes in at bottom, flying powder comes out top. This is how powder based fire extinguishers work. The hacksmith has a video where they convert one into a cornstarch thrower

[@philo-]

That thing looks really fun to operate, and with a couple of tweaks could potentially be even more impressive than it already is. I'm sure using coffee creamer in a controlled and effective manner in a weapon platform is pretty finicky, but that's also what makes this so cool. Looking forward to your next project as always

[@Dawnlit]

A lot of great things come from boredom. I mean, a legitimate use for coffee creamer? Truly, we're living in the future.

[@squeegel3904]

Underrated channel. I was like "who dis?" because you dont upload too often, but when you do.. Its always such quality content! Invisi shield got me here, after that I browsed other vids and subbed. I look forward to your next ideas!

[@randomn6473]

That's kind of you to say! Thanks! 😁 I'm glad you enjoy the content!

[@evil3gamer]

Love how serious you are about your projects. You can hear it in your voice when you are talking lol. Bro keep it up, you're goin places! Awesome video

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Hah, sweet. Used to do all kinds of fun stuff with powdered creamer and fire back in the day, always interesting how that works (much like with grain dust too). Look forward to more and the van/ truck build!

[@nrwl23]

I love to see the fun you're having with testing and the engineering process. Good stuff.

[@Mister.Miscellaneous]

Your videos are never expected in my sub feed, but I’m always excited to watch them when they pop up

[@edicreynaga5368]

Dude I just watched your Gasifier video and I’m hooked. Awesome content

[@randomn6473]

Thanks so much!! 😁

[@VanRiperFam]

Love your curious nature. Saw the shield build and searched for you here. Very fun to share with my kiddo.

[@MtnBadger]

Flour is a lot cheaper than creamer and, when airisolized, it's very flammable, as is sugar (you can mix them together) which is why grain silos, mills, etc. are seen on the news when they don't clean and follow safety guidelines and blow sky high. We'd make bombs (in the military) which were 55 gal. drums with an explosive core surrounded by flour, when the core would detonate it would compress then explode the outer drum releasing the flour into the air and KABOOM. No, I'm not going to say how we built them but they were an improvised munitions, obviously.

[@tomcoyle7365]

I love this. Like a true engineer, you have the ability to make a flame thrower, but taking time to make a funnel is a bridge to far. Because the desire to light this up is more important than a stupid funnel. That is for version 2. Keep up the great work.

[@ariyanadumon4549]

Nice touch with the funnel quip 😂. I said out loud "Man, you should use a funnel buddy." Just before you popped off with the thabk you for commenting quip. Fabulous 😆.

[@apparentlywyatt]

Been waiting for you to upload! Awesome stuff. Any updates on the vintage van build?

[@randomn6473]

Not yet. I did an axle swap and I've been waiting for weeks for the new driveline to be made. Hopefully soon though!

[@rodhawkins5037]

Cool concept and you proved it worked. 💯👍

[@jdykes1381]

🤔Hmmm! FUN FACT, I actually signed on to learn if coffee creamer is giving me gas, and I discovered it does. 🧐You made it very easy to watch your entire video. I will like 👍🏽 and subscribe CONGRATZ on this and all of your projects.

[@michaela.754]

This needs to go viral

[@AbhayKumarPaswan-dn1pf]

Bro was just feeling bored so he made a whole*ss flamethrower in his garage..just imagine what he would do if he actually got angry 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@Kai_Peters]

Great job! I never saw you upload this video. And considering it has

[@sebastiank1714]

maybe if you use an aditional motor, as in a ventilator or mixer to stirr up the pot, get the slurry suspended before you inject the air, then blow it against gravity up and out the reservoir towards the nozzle. you have great understanding and skills, don't get hurt.

[@Michael-si2ln]

You are so interesting to watch the things you come up with. A little MacGyver 👍

[@richieboy4754]

Bro friggin great job. We need to amazing creative minds like yours and more content ! Thanks got this vid . Take xare gof bless and be safe . Worlds going mad bro

[@nagoyakuroi6353]

Zombie apocalypse never tasted so good ! I always wanted to see something like that after watching mythbusters cannon. Great video ! And you can use left overs for your coffe xD

[@ashlardarned2540]

If you ever retry this, try exploring the Venturi effect, grain fluidizing, and some way of agitating the powder to prevent clumping and blocking flow.

[@korishan]

Really neat project there. Was glad to see another video from ya. Nice work! 😎 As mentioned in some of the other comments, you could get better flow by putting the air tube at the bottom of the holding canister, instead of a long tube with multiple holes. Mr Montugar makes a good point about a siphon tube in the center. I hadn't thought of this one, but good idea. I was thinking of a venturi effect the way that a sandblaster works. But this wouldn't work quite the same for this application. Unfortunate with the solenoid issue. That was a pretty good idea, to be honest. Remote release is better in this case as you can stop the flow at the source. Bigger solenoid might work better tho. I think you should revisit this project, with just a few tweaks, but the main content would be different powdered fuels. TKOR showed that different powders are flammable. However, it was in a small test with a straw/tube. It would be interesting to see these scaled up to this level. 🤪 Maybe instead of a long video, have a Shorts video with a particular fuel. That could get you lots of flame-on content with minimal work 😉

[@mattiasfagerlund]

You could 3D print the worlds first coffee creamer funnel!

[@thedude8046]

That is freaking cool!

[@danielburke3560]

I'm thinking an auger delivering a consistent amount of powder into the airstream (tube) would work as a metering device. I don't think it would matter if your auger and powder canister were pressurized. There are wood auger bits that are relatively inexpensive available in most hardware stores. I suppose it could be powered with a cordless drill too. You would just have to make the trigger work from your flame thrower handle. Bike brake cable and brake handle would be pretty simple to rig up. Then you could change the amount of creamer being discharged with the drill rpm.

[@clf235]

Cool. Wouldn’t just about any grain dust work too? Like corn starch?

[@pnhtigersnake]

It looks like the air is pushing the creamer down through the tanks? Maybe reverse that ? Have the air push up through the tanks to mix and aerosolize earlier?

[@davidsegerstrom9313]

Still pretty sweet pyro show...thumbs up!

[@WhatStream]

Maybe try a setup like a sandblaster? Some rather simple ways of doing it and they can move a good bit of material.

[@gabrielsawyer3106]

"this is third and final test, simply because I'm out of coffee creamer" lmao 😂

[@Uncle_Buzz]

6:52 - totally agreed.

[@mushwar5455]

Cool! you could probably get the same effect with fine saw dust or flour, way cheaper if so.

[@FlyinZX10R]

Maybe installing some type of mesh screen along the line somewhere to break up the powder better

[@timdavis6088]

Have a look at agricultural dusters for a better way to aeroslize small particulates.

[@dj_iso_j]

In the next episode of: "Birth of a Supervillain" Great video dude!

[@OdinsonEntertainment]

Now I'm waiting to see it in a video game.

[@theusconstitution1776]

And holy crap you’re just a kid! You must’ve just got your drivers license for god sake look at all the stuff you build! You sure are a mechanical engineering welding wizard❤️❤️❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

[@christianestes2789]

I'd mix the coffee creamer with some potassium nitrate maybe a bit of sulfur really given an extra kick

[@Jeffsmess]

Very awesome!

[@gtbkts]

Thanks for the awesome content!

[@SkunkPresant]

Try a setup like a mini media blaster. Run a ‘T’ shaped tube down into the powder and blow air through a tube across the top of the downtube. It’ll suck the powder up and blow it in a stream.

[@h7opolo]

funny coincidence you upload this powder flamethrower vid the same day The Try Guys uploaded a vid showing them using powdered flame throwers.

[@ColeCortner]

Awesomeness

[@WildlandsGG]

Very cool! Very based!

[@roberthill2992]

Maybe try to feed the coffee creamer along the air line in the same way that a sandblaster would move the grit...

[@kartikpatel6703]

I knew it, I called it!

[@cicadasmasher8082]

Suggestion. Vehicle mounted sandblaster coffee creamer flamethrower.

[@crosley62]

So if I don't try this at home, can I try it at a friend's home?

[@ashtonpilkey490]

Video is 🔥

[@christopherkeillor9728]

Little more work and it does look like it would be a little more fun anyway to try to put some type of egg beater mixer apparatus inside the canister to electrically stir the creamer and then the Air forces it out

[@ekimskaew5304]

That was a lot of Coffee Mate!

[@Joe-pi9bx]

Maybe it would work better if you had a better powder chamber? Like a cyclone generator where the powder is stored to get it mixed with air?

[@JoTheVeteran]

Still much better than that overgrown lighter, Elon Musk was selling.

[@allit.164]

The only problem I have with this video is that I really can't do any mashup fanart of you and MacGyver when you're pretty much the same person minus a few years (and, presumably, espionage). But really. Very cool project, nicely presented!

that is great. DO you also sell the invisible shield. ALso I met you at Mddies house. WE are going to sell the army truck and was wondering if you were interested in it.

[@lifeoftraveling8330]

Try a sand blaster syphon nozzle instead of the air gping in to the creamer through the tubes

[@h7opolo]

i'll take one to melt the snow in my driveway. thankya very mooch.

[@obondostudios9482]

I have something to do on saturday now

[@JoTheVeteran]

But why that coffee powder thing? Why not use plain old flower instead? Or grinded sugar? Or even saw dust?

[@trey1531]

What if you used the output of a vacuum cleaner to spray the fuel?

[@mindofmadness5593]

Wish I could have hung out with you when I was younger. I always tried to have friends who were smarter than Self.

[@ick5353]

Try using powdered sugar instead of coffee creamer. It’s lighter and finer so it should be easier to propel out with the same air pressure. I think the coffee creamer is too thick and clumpy and that’s why you’re getting the burst effect.

[@imhigh0013]

Corn starch maybe? Coffee creamer works; intermittent results... so not reliable.

[@TheM0JEC]

Nice project. First like/comment?

[@randomn6473]

Oh man, so close. 😅 Second one.

[@clinthavoc4331]

Wonder how this would do with Lycopodium powder?

[@eigregor83]

Have you tried this with finely powdered sugar instead of coffee creamer? I'm just wondering if you would have a stronger or more constant flame from straight sugar.

[@theusconstitution1776]

What if you replaced the wand in your hand with a gasoline powered or electric powered leaf blower and attached the powder cans to the leaf blower so the vibration would help move the powder? Another great job kid I know you’re probably 20 but still I guess I should say young man what do you want to be when you grow up you sir have the ability to be anything you want do you want to run NASA all you have to do is do it!! ❤️‍🔥🇺🇸❤️‍🔥🇺🇸❤️‍🔥🇺🇸❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

So -in theory- you could do this with atomised aluminium like they do for thermobaric explosives

[@baloneyjusticecheezedog]

Why not do the same thing a sandblaster gun does and use a air compressor to push the coffee creamer power out that way? also maybe you need to control your projectile material more.. you want to get distance out of it.. so in some way it needs to be able to fly farther.. and means adding mass to it.. coffee cream is vary flammable but what if you you mix it with random other materials like like oil for jet stream effect, sugar or honey.. and then powered to start it.. I see something like a multistage gun that goes from flower like powders to thick material that can travel quite far to get this longer and longer flame. the only limitation of course if the materials was not on fire you could readily eat it.

[@dragatus]

Fun.

[@istp1967]

The idea of coffee creamer flamer is better; because coffee creamer power is easier and safer to store for longer periods than gasoline, diesel, kerosene etcetera. . . .

[@TheWebstaff]

Hmm. So I take it there is no risk of compression ignition? I'm worried you basically made a giant mistake for you back.

[@TheWebstaff]

Would it matter if you swapped out to co2 injection?

[@danialhowe9814]

im an engeneer. let me help with one issue. you need to FLUIDIZE your mix better. to do that id suggest you look a the way higher end powder coating guns go about doing it. basically they do what you do but they created a clowd in the chamber by constantly agitating the mix with air + vibration

[@Gilly714]

Dumb but fun , Me Likie !!!!

It would have been cooler than this if you showed a longer video working on it.
