Oxy-Acetylene Weather Balloon Explosion Vs. Frozen Lake | in 4K

[@Beyondthepress]

Edit: Don't stress about the fish. It's a man made lake with no fist planted there ever and Henri explodes the lake for some video about 5 times per year so there is 0% change of any fish live there :D Big thanks to Son's of Xplosions KZbin channel and to Vision Recearch, all high speed clips are filmed with their Phantom VEO 640S camera. We filmed really nice ad video for the camera and couple other things couple weeks ago so some really cool slow motion stuff coming soon! The camera can film up to 1,400 frames-per-second (fps) at its 2560 x 1600 resolution and it's much easier to use than the faster v2512 that we used last time.

Can you try putting the pipe under the ice with a plug, letting it refreeze then fill a bubble under the ice??

[@Beyondthepress]

Yep I think that could work and then I will but gas bottles on scale and measure how many kilograms there is both gases to be sure that it is good mix. But I have to get really good scale for that and do some work with the filling method in general to be sure that it's safe

try it with some stronger containment like for example a tin can or a big soda bottle, that you can submerge but it won't be crushed right away by the water pressure

[@Beyondthepress]

It seems to be quite harmless and easy thing to do but it's actually really dangereous. We did video with soap bubbles that had something like 0.2 liters of this gas and they were loud as big caliber riffle so even something like 2 liters is more than enough to really mess up your ears for good.

[@dronexfun8469]

Back when I was much younger and dumber we used to put oxy-acetylene gas in black plastic garbage bags, put a piece of masking tape on it an lit the masking tape. Once I figured out static electric discharges could cause ignition I never used balloon or plastic bag or anything that could cause static discharge again. Very loud but very dangerous and stupid.

[@Skessu]

[@Auriam]

Problem is, you can't pressurize acetylene above about 15 psi or it explodes *by itself, with itself, in its own container*. So to get a good oxy-fuel explosion underwater, maybe you could use a safer gas like propylene which can be higher pressure.

[@psycho6542]

So then why is the tank for my torch holding about 38 psi

[@Auriam]

@@psycho6542 I think from what I've read that the acetylene is held in a matrix of some kind of absorbent material like diatomaceous earth and/or dissolved in acetone in that material so it's a little more stable

[@psycho6542]

[@COMMANDER2525]

First burst is coming from the dynamite itself and the second burst is the explosion being reflected from the bottom of the lake. No secondary explosion.

[@Beyondthepress]

It's probably something like that. And in my experience the oxy-acetylene mix burns around 4km/s second there shouldn't be much of delay with that stuff

[@EclecticEssentric]

It's just the rebound of the water, yes. It was shoved down, then the water rebounded and was forced up through the hole.

[@lajoswinkler]

It's too slow for shockwave reflection. This is just water squirting out because the surface has been depressed. It has to come one somewhere, being a very poorly compressible liquid.

[@ruawhitepaw]

Someone is going to come to that lake and wonder what the hell happened to it.

[@standard8888]

best method I've found with the odd small balloon in the workshop was to light a cutting torch and adjust to a totally neutral flame. Leaving the torch untouched, turn the gas supply off at the bottles/cylinder (making sure both taps are in the fully on position while you adjusted the mixture/flame envelope). Then once flame has burned out completely turn both taps back on fully and let purge for a few seconds before filling.. This guarantees that you are filling with a neutral gas mixture which creates the implosion (A hole left in the atmosphere that air\water rapidly rushes back into, much the same as lightening).. The external pressure below water should act the same on both gasses egulators and still produce a neutral mixture. The totally neutral gas mixture produces almost no orange flame just a blueish ball with a slightly orange corona/outer edge from mixing with the surrounding atmosphere, but would be interesting to see what it would look like underwater.

[@CenterStarsChannel]

My automotive teacher told us that a man liked to fill balloon the same way under buckets to make them launch. Well his son wanted for his birthday. Sadly this time the bucket launched early due to spark. The bucket decapitated the father on the sons birthday. Never play with welding gas ever.

[@Beyondthepress]

Yep it's really dangerous and you cannot ever go close to the ball/what ever you are filling after there is gas since it can explode with out any reason

[@CenterStarsChannel]

[@willyam9735]

I used to do oxy-acetylene balloons quite often over the years. Your problem more than likely was not enough oxygen to properly burn the acetylene. Light the torch first, adjust the flame til it is a crisp blue flame, then snuff the flame out on a piece of wood. The raw gas mixture will then be perfect! If your going to use dynamite while not use ammonium nitrate dampened with diesel as your explosive mixture. Much cheaper than using a whole bunch of dynamite and more affective. It needs to stay dry though so use thick garbage bag then add just one stick of dynamite as the primary charge. When that goes the ammonium nitrate will blow as secondary charge. This is exactly the setup hard rock mining uses. Very productive yet economical. If your friend can buy dynamite he can also buy untreated ammonium nitrate, electric blasting caps, etc to do it right or homemade primary explosive can be made with black powder and extension cord going to a piece of cardboard with two nails stuck in the edge about 2cm apart. Soldier extension cord wires to the nails then wrap thin wire between the two nails and stick the part with thin wire into the black powder. Use as much extension cord as needed to be safely away from charge then apply 12v battery power to other end of extension cord by cutting end off and baring enough wire to reach both poles of 12v car battery. It will cause a spark when the thin wire burns up setting off black powder which in turn sets off ammonium nitrate/diesel solution! Just make sure your whole charge is waterproofed good and you will have great success! I used to blast rock with this setup when mining way out in forest. Oh, also be sure your friend is buying uncoated white ammonium nitrate, not the stuff called 16-16-16 fertilizer sold at nurseries. It is coated with a lite brown substance rendering it non-usable for explosions!

[@JaredReabow]

[@Summernightsandneonlights]

He is absolutely right when he said the balloon can detonate at any time once it's full without a ignition source. I wish I knew that when I was playing with that gas.

[@henningklaveness7082]

Do a simple metering tank setup: One tank you fill to a certain pressure with acetylene, and one you fill with oxygen. Then you dump both the tanks into the balloon, and if you dialed in the pressures right, you get pretty close to stochiometric ratio every time. The principle is used in gas combustion cannons, and is relatively easy to implement.

[@designworksdw1949]

how do you do your gas mix? do you light a torch and snuff it out or just guess the correct mix.

[@matthewspencer5086]

You might be able to overcome the pressure differential problems as follows: Make a rigid container out of plastic guttering downpipe. Install a tube nearly to the (weighted) bottom of pipe to fill it with oxygen. (Your oxygen bottle will have more pressure than the acetylene bottle.) Fill about half the tube with nice, fluffy sawdust. Plug top end with water/gastight container containing an electric blasting cap and about an ounce of flash powder (black powder if you cannot get flash powder) Stuff through hole in ice, weighted end first. Fill pipe with oxygen, which will stir up the sawdust, and then detonate before the sawdust settles.

[@emerituse3390]

I think maybe this is the first time I have ever seen a shock wave with oxy-acetylene gas. Very nice! =)
