[@Foerster44v2]

Took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize the quite literal connection between "April Fool's" and "Fools Gold".

[@taicanium]

+Förster44 I'll admit I didn't even notice until I saw your comment.

[@Sovrakha]

I hadn't even realized until you pointed it out. Duh, me. Nice catch!

Imma repeat. Do molten glass into liquid nitrogen. It would be cool to see if it just forms a prince ruperts drop or the pressures inside from cooling so fast, are so great that it explodes. Ya'know?

[@Dorfjunge]

+Yammercat I agree to both of you, it would probably cool even slower (Both Leidenfrost but water has a higher heat capacity), but it still would be nice to see! :D

[@1colonelsanders]

Autistic Fingoloid You realize heat can travel through air, right? Almost all things that are put into liquid nitrogen trigger the leidenfrost effect, yet it still cools them rapidly.

[@Vbbv22]

+1colonelsanders and the point of your comment is?

[@1colonelsanders]

Vbbv22 Sorry it was supposed to be a response to Autistic Fingoloid

[@garrettholland664]

+Ordinariri stop! Plz

[@racheldowning5300]

+marmite games PROTIP

[@joshua7586]

I don't think that's possible since it doesn't melt like metal and it has a crystalline structure.

[@bobo1million]

+Coldkill2001 pyrite don't give a shit!

[@Coldkill2001]

Joshua Real Posibly, but if you look closely some of it does melt rather than explode. If you break it up and even heat it, it might melt instead of pop.

[@ShinyTomb]

That looked like when Spongebob sculpted marble. 2:02

[@TatsukiHashida]

And 2:36

[@patty047]

did someone say spongebob

[@cbtenthusiast4152]

+Patrick Star yes

[@patty047]

lol

[@crispin-freeman]

I'm a bit curious to know the chemistry and physics behind this. My basic understanding is that the HHO puts energy into pyrite's bonds, causing them to break apart. In turn, the energy produced by breaking said bonds is enough to produce sufficient force to propel chucks of pyrite everywhere.

[@DarthPedobear]

I think it is more of the crystalline structure breaking.

[@cfcfubar]

+Crispin Freeman Its probably more the gases trapped inside are getting hot and expanding thus causing enough pressure to fracture the rock.

[@maximm1381]

+Crispin Freeman It´s half iron, and half sulphur, guess what, sulfur evaporates at 350° iron doesn´t even melt until 1800. All along the faultlines the sulphur builds up and then cracks it.

[@NoStupidZone1]

Thank you for explaining this!

I came expecting this video to be an april fools joke ,but it wasn't. good one, you got me.

[@lazaglider]

Ah his takes me back. I tried somethings very similar as a kid, only using a propane torch. The explosions were unexpected and more than enough to put me off. I can still remember the feeling of being peppered by hot shards. Not nice.

[@awidepannus8735]

Whoa! Were you prepared for such a violent reaction? Did not expect that myself! Very cool

[@samupee7370]

those slowmotions are beautiful.

[@Spoif]

+carsandwater I don't recall a HHO torch being available as a weapon in Atari's 1979 version of Asteroids.

[@nannesoar]

Those slow-mo shots were awesome

[@jarstore]

I gotta say the new camera work is top notch loving the vids even more now keep up the great work

[@LucaTheStar]

I really love those slow-mo parts. They are awesome!

[@GlitchyPSI]

the slowmo version of the torch being lit by the lighter is awesome

[@Grasses0n]

Loving the slow motion camera. Nice addition.

[@Hammerlord31]

Man, the popping sounds when it splits just seem so loud even though it's a video. At one point I actually flinched.

[@IPikaChooseUToo]

[@otakuribo]

So, to clarify, the jump cut at about 01:43 was where you stopped to put on some protective gear?

[@bagochips834]

I bet the fumes from that smell pretty nasty considering your making hydrogen-sulfide the active scent in farts, rotten eggs, and skunk spray

[@jackmarkham8527]

+Noah Grassie I think he wears a gas mask

[@shellshock96]

Slomo looks great man!

[@JohnMichaelson]

Wow, pyrite doesn't play well with others, does it. What a snarky, arrogant mineral.

[@HisCarlnessI]

As soon as I heard the squealing sounds early on I knew this was going to be a bad idea.

[@DyrosLazarus]

Looks cool, Is there any way to melt this stuff without it exploding in all directions?

[@Dracounius]

+DyrosGaming mabey if you grind it to a fine powder and dry the powder in the oven first for an hour or so (in case of water), should be doable.

[@dankimus]

maybe an air vacuum

[@DyrosLazarus]

+Kodi Senga Someone should do this and put it on youtube.

Pyrite is hard, i work in the oil and gas industry and when we encounter pyrite it eats the tungsten carbide teeth off the drill bit in no time at all.

one day i wanted to see some red hot metal on youtube. i thought i was crazy. But the guy have 771k subs. I'm not alone!

[@Jasonseymour85]

Yes to the return of the torch. That thing is so intriguing. More of the same please 👍🏻

[@TrevorFarmersnookumsandcats03]

id like to watch this in Snoopavision

[@mariooldani9545]

I can probably find a way that even fools gold would be unsafe/dangerous.

[@chaosvolt]

Iron sulfide remains unamused with hydrogen's shenanigans.

[@GearScar]

A map gas torch will do the same, and easy/cheaper to get. But my question is why ruin such a nice example of pyrite? I know its worthless, but still it was a nice piece for display

[@donkyleone]

I did this in my fireplace thinking it might melt when i was younger, all it did was blow up and fragment it self all over my living room...

[@Starbuck7410]

Just in case you dont know, the pyrite exploded due to the energy released by destroying the crystalline structure.

[@benjamaster7]

RHNB - R-Candy. Just make a HUGE batch of R-Candy, go outside, and drop it on the R-Candy and run!

[@zickykane5206]

Which torch burns hotter? The Hydrogen, or the Propane?

[@kionajames42]

The slow motion of this is amazing

[@DarknessViper99]

I remember when my dad found pyrite when he used to do road work. Sure fooled me when he brought it home, never knew what he did with those rocks.

[@hdepartment]

Scared the crap out of me when the fools gold burst into pieces.

[@dudeguy96585589]

Now is it exploding from a chemical reaction or from thermal shock?

[@stegtflaesk]

Try ferrocerium powder vs a big chunk of wood, ( Ferrocerium is a metal that can burn really hot, and is mostly used in fire starter rods, magnesium rods are also used :3 )

[@polyjohn3425]

+ChaoticWolf Ferrocerium doesn't burn particularly hot, it's used in fire starters because it's pyrophoric so it sparks exceptionally well.

[@stegtflaesk]

+Marcus Orsih Oh, thanks!

[@udhi_gn3893]

the hydrogen torch at 0:12 reminds me on some of NASA's footages of the space shuttle at ignition stage... anyway... both of them running on the same fuel

[@SebastianSzukalski]

If i remember correctly from the last time i did this, it explodes.

[@ricardoruiz1858]

wrong it shatters

[@Sovrakha]

I became worried that it would explode once I heard the crackling and popping, but the slow motion was very cool! Another great video.

[@hydrophobicwater1755]

I wonder how bad the smell must have been when you were doing this, after all with that much sulfur in it i can only imagine it wasn't very good.

[@joshm8324]

that must have smelled GREAT

[@TheRonin69xd]

that's cool , it's like metal popcorn , lol

[@broandrew]

HHO gas is a good way to break up quartz rocks and melt the gold out of them. Makes it easier to crush the rock.

[@matthewrouge]

Is a chemical reaction happening, or is it just melting/vaporizing?

[@matthewrouge]

Mari Onette The hydrogen gas is burning but we don't know if the pyrite itself is burning. It doesn't seem to be smoking and it's definitely not on fire, so it's unclear what's happening.

[@mrclucker1969]

It's popcorn of the metal world!

[@ALAPINO]

April Fools Gold... I see what you did there. ;]

[@Blargenth]

Why does it explode like that? Is it thermal expansion shearing the brittle material apart or a property of the sulfur in it?

[@SgtAwesome97]

+Blargenth Most likely it's a bit of both

[@MrMcQueen_01]

This is awesome, how do you get your hydrogen? Do you make it? Or buy it

[@QuercusPrime]

+Caleb Troxel He probably makes it through the electrolysis of water. I think there's a video of the set up he uses somewhere.

[@christinavaughan8387]

He had his own home made set up. And he does, in fact, have a video on it's setup and info on how it works. :3

[@gonun69]

is this a HHO flame or just Hydrogen ?

[@polyjohn3425]

+Gonun It's HHO. That gurgling in the background is his electrolyzer, and IIRC he just runs the gasses straight to the torch.

[@gonun69]

Marcus Orsih ok, thx!

[@perrydavis5433]

DO rhnb vs PAINT BALLS.

[@kore5260]

I don't know anything about minerals so maybe this is a dumb question, but would it retain it's luster if you melted and reformed it...

[@heinzmonster]

I thought he was just going to dunk the thing into a tub of water

[@battlehotdog]

so how did it smell? did it react to H2S or did the hydrogen just react with the oxygen in the air?

[@okamijubei]

Ah, so it explodes instead of smelted to lava.

[@jamesshoemaker3473]

I love the classics. Would love to see multiple RHNB in a small container then have cold water poured on them

[@AvenRox]

I jumped when the pyrite exploded. Evidently it likes to do that.

[@nathanschubert3048]

I got a "buy gold and silver" add! XD

[@thelittlebug1]

why was the pyrite exploding? did it have gas traped in it??? I really want to know. :)

[@ZiggyVB]

I dunno what I expected, but I didn't expect it to react so violently to the heat from the torch. Is it because of the crystalline form that pyrite has?

[@vittoriosandoni7064]

If you heat up pyrite it produces sulfur vapours, i suppose that it's the reason behind the violent reaction and the explosion of the Cristal.

[@ElbowTV]

best april fools video ever lol

[@flamedrag18]

I hope you had good ventilation, this would produce poisonous hydrogen sulfide fumes.

[@Musetrigger]

I had a little rock of pyrite with me as I watched. It's nice how I own something that has such an interesting reaction to heat. I also have a rock of silicon. Maybe that can be next one day?

[@thatoneguy33198]

+Musetrigger It popped/exploded like it did because of the sulphur(part of gunpowder) in it, I think.

[@Musetrigger]

thatoneguy33198 Oh, well there you go. Science can teach you how there is ALWAYS a reason for something.

[@1959Edsel]

Did your workshop end up smelling like rotten eggs?

[@zhaneranger]

Did this smell when you fired it?

[@shermdeazy]

Interesting the high pitched sound it made reminds me of the strange noises people have been hearing from the Earth lately. Is it possible its the Earths core grinding?

[@Velocity_AU]

Fools gold, or Pyrite, isnt a metal but a crystal, so there are air pockets that blow up from the hot air and possible gas. And also because rocks dont melt (lava isnt melted rock, but molten, there is a difference)

[@TlalocTemporal]

+dvanw6 -- But molten literary means "liquefied by heat". Molten comes from Melt. It's usually used for things with high melting points, but it's perfectly acceptable to say the butter on my toast is molten butter.

[@Phillyqt19]

i love these rocks. we have a bunch of them in my backyard. theyre really pretty

[@lashAR87]

I wonder if it's water between the grains that makes it explode like that. Should have heated it in an oven at 110C for a few hours first. Then done the experiment.

[@cjkhammer]

when he lights the blowtorch it sounds like a loud sneeze

[@Dexios_Divine]

Reminds me of the time I went digging for China in our backyard; found almost a pound of the stuff and thought I was rich. Turns out my Grandmother had thought the same thing once and dumped it when she found out it was fake.
