Try putting out the magnesium with liquid nitrogen? OR Try making the magnesium even brighter with liquid oxygen

If you’ve ever seen a rocket explode, that’s liquid oxygen. Oxygen is why magnesium can’t be put out with water, and why it will even get brighter when sprayed. The oxygen in the water is also being burned.

[@yocheeseify]

Why does it work though

[@weeb3244]

@@yocheeseifyI'm a sailor, so I've been through DC classes where we learn about fires. When magnesium burns, it creates magnesium oxide, as they said in the video. What they didn't say is that when the magnesium oxide comes in contact with water vapor, it reacts, creating magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Burning magnesium has a very violent reaction with hydrogen gas, which creates more heat and light. It's the reason we just have to jettison (throw overboard) burning aircraft and other class D (metal) fires. Also, fun fact, magnesium doesn't require outside oxygen to burn, so those jettisoned aircraft can potentially burn under the water for years

[@Fobia17]

For those curious, when you spray water on a class D fire, the intense heat rips the oxygen out and uses it as fuel

[@ronblack7870]

with magnesium it liberates hydrogen which then reacts more and explodes.

[@hunterseymour8364]

I’ve had it ignite in my face putting car fires out

It was great fun breaking bits off and setting it on fire with the blow torch that was set up on the kitchen table. One night, when we got bored with the blow torch, we chucked the remains of the box (a corner) onto the open fire in the living room. Eventually it caught fire, then we decided to bung some ammonium nitrate into the corner of the burning box (we just happened to have a big bag of it in the cupboard for some reason). Nothing happened for about a second, then there was the brightest light I have ever seen that lasted for a very short time and the box was gone. It must have looked spectacular from outside, a shaft of white light heading skywards from the chimney.

In the U.S. Navy, every time you are assigned to a different ship you go through training on that ship's fire fighting procedures. The basic procedures are common throughout the Navy, but customized to each ship because of differences in carried fuels, different fire fighting equipment, etc. On an aircraft carrier where "metallic fires" are more likely, the training is very simple. "You can't put this type of fire out. The only thing you can do is get it off the decks as quickly and safely as possible and into the sea.

The reason you never use water is not only because it'll spread the burning liquid metal around, but because the metal is burning so hot that it's separating the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen components, making the fire burn more energetically (i.e., hotter), so you'd be making the problem a lot worse.

Try dipping the magnesium in liquid oxygen. Does it make it more flammable?

[@GreebleClown]

Liquid oxygen itself isn't flammable, but oxygen does promote burning, and magnesium fires are hot enough to separate the molecules in water making everything more on fire... so I hypothesize that, while it will not make an explosion, the breakup of the O2 molecules would mean that the magnesium would burn hotter and longer.

Well, I don't know what would happen with Liquid Nitrogen... But Liquid Oxygen would likely make the whole thing go Boom, in a major way, as in a crater-where-the-house-was and neighborhood-on-fire way.

When I was in AMT school one our Instructors said that you could tell which fighters in the night during WWII were American or German when they went down by the color of the Engine Burn. The Crankcases (Engine Blocks) Were made of Magnesium on the Germans side while the Americans used other metals.

Magnesium is still used in helicopters for the military. And as a matter of fact in the Navy they are told to manually push off helicopters from the aircraft carriers because they burn hot enough to burn through the entire ship and sink it.
