As a volunteer firefighter in my town, i know the actual stuff to use for magnesium/combustible metal fires. If u had a situation like this such as a car fire, you would use a class D fire extinguisher. This extinguisher classifies for burning combustible metals, whatever you do, dont use water haha!

It's a fantastic material and extremely light and strong given its low weight. It just can catch on fire and not be put out. Which is an issue but sometimes the benefits of having it in the vehicle out weigh the potential security risks. It's usually now days only used in high performance applications although there are some exceptions. The liquid you handle daily and carry around the fumes that come off of that liquid are much more dangerous than anything else put in your car I can assure you.

Sand will extinguish Magnesium fires! I learned this while in the Coast Guard. We had to attend fire fighting school from the U.S. Navy at their Fire fighting center on Treasure Island! As you could see, the spalling of the Magnesium by the CO2 made for a more volatile fire! Magnesium produces its own ignition by mixing with the Oxygen in the air, and is quite a nasty burning substance! Sand melts and like Molten Lava, covers the Magnesium and blocks the oxygen from the metal's combustion!

i love this channel, but this episode was a bit unscientific. 1. I pay for youtube red so I don't have to watch ads, so I guess this is a loop hole where advertisers can get noticed by people who don't watch ads. defeats the purpose of paying youtube. it's not just your channel that's doing this, I've noticed an upward trend on a lot of other people's channels/videos aswell. 2. going back to the unscientific part, the question of can a magnesium fire be put out is still left unanswered. I find it convenient there was a moth in the video because that how this video is portrayed, it was flashy and attractive, but there was no take away from it. you're a smart person, and in many other videos you would explain the science behind what you're doing, what's going on etc. where was this? why did the magnesium erupt when you added water? did the water flash steam on impact with magnesium then split into hydrogen and oxygen and combust? was there a change in molecular structure creating a bond with magnesium and oxygen? did the water expand on impact with the magnesium causing the magnesium to separate while still super heated? you tried carbon dioxide and water..what about pouring a bucket of sand, dirt on to it to smother it? would dumping the burning magnesium into a bucket water work, since the spray did not? so what will put out magnesium that is on fire?

Shillier if he said that then he's wrong because adding water to magnesium fire fuses the magnesium to the oxygen in H20 and creates magnesium oxide and leaves hydrogen gas to fuel more of the fire. he may have "starved it from oxygen", but he didn't starve it of hydrogen. in the video he kept spraying the magnesium until it burned out completely. what should be left, which he kind of touched on in the carbon dioxide part, was that the left over material after he got done spraying it with water was magnesium oxide.. 2 MgO. or inert magnesium rust.

Yeah, probably not. You may want to research some of these things a little more carefully before you post such a silly answer. I'm thinking you may want to include the words "airframe" and perhaps "shipboard" to your search.

@jerotoro20218 жыл бұрын
Since oil floats on water, all the water you throw on it will just sink down, and the burning oil will always stay burning on top of the water. So no amount of water will work.
@Dracounius7 жыл бұрын
no it will work (see mythbusters episode) you simply need so much water that the heat is stripped from the oil and the fire snuffed out before it has time to float to the surface of the water. And yes that is a LOT of water for a given amount of oil.

Ney guys, its always good to be wearing the proper protective gear when fighting lsrger sized fires, structure fires, etc. and its all about techniques when extinguishing a fore. If you were to have a bedroom on fire, u could use a fire water extinguisher thats pure water, and if you preserve water and use good technique, itll get the job done. Of course if the fire is taking up the whole room, your not going tovwant to risk it with just a water can. Go to your local town department and see if u can join! Its a great time, and u learn lots anc lots of helpful tips thatll be able to help others if they have questions, hopefully this helped!

I know a lot of educational youtubers have advertised casper matresses over the last couple of years but guys its not just a gimmick, I will never go back to traditional spring mattresses and though i didnt buy a casper itself, a few houses in my family have and even the other brand memory foam mattress that i bought is amazing. Still not sold on memory foam pillows but the mattresses are amazing and due to their low cost even if they don't end up lasting as long you can get a replacement for a fraction of the cost of a traditional mattresses.
