that that actually have worked what’s up
guys welcome back to the shop for
another pyro project for this video I
went down to the dollar store and I
clean them out of these little tiny
smoke balls they come out around this
time of year and I actually counted all
these we have 75 pack of 6 balls each
that’s a total of 450 mini smoke bombs
that we can consolidate into four giant
smoke bombs and that’s the purpose of
this project today here’s the basic idea
I went and picked up four different cups
here because we have four different
colors we’ve got yellow white blue and
purple now if you take one of these
little smoke bombs and look inside we’re
going to find is there’s a layer of
paper on the top once you pull that
apart you can see there’s a seam line
that connects two halves of a cardboard
sphere if you give it a little pop with
your thumb you can split the whole thing
open and find a little smoke pellet
that’s inside so our job at this point
is to simply crack all 450 smoke bombs
open pull the pellets out and group them
by their respective colors all right
cool let’s get cracking
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there we go there’s the last package
they’re all out it would be fun almost
to light this off we’ve got a mountain
of smoke bomb and that by itself could
be a pretty epic time but in the
interest of saving space we’re in the
cracking things down to extract all
those pellets and organize them into
their respective colors all right here
we are guys we have shelled 450 smoke
bombs and put them into the different
containers one thing that I notice is
they’re really really heavy on the white
next up is blue then we have yellow then
we have purple what was really
interesting about this patch I don’t
know where these came from we ended up
with two green totally random so now
that we’ve got these things full I’m
really tempted just to go outside and
light them off the one question I have
is should we wrap them up in aluminum
foil to make them jet out one hole or
should we just let the whole thing
burned and see how that reacts now these
are paper cups so I think at least what
I’m going to do is put a couple of wraps
of aluminum foil around the side help
reinforce them then let’s go outside
let’s light the yellow one off first and
depending on how it reacts we can make a
few adjustments in there
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right we’ve got the aluminum foil on
our cup so it’s time to head outside and
try two different experiments the first
one we’re going to light off one of
these smoke bombs as is and see how it
performs then we’re going to light up
one of our souped-up versions and see
how they compare so we got four of the
regular dollar-store smoke bombs we’re
going to light them up and see how they
react here we go there we go yeah so
that was kind of pathetic yeah that’s
kind of anticlimactic but pretty much
what you expect from dollar store smoke
bombs they only burn for about five
seconds and they’re so light and flimsy
they roll around the wind so let’s see
how they compare to our homemade version
where we’ve got a hundred of them in a
cup now the question really is when we
light one of these off is it going to
ignite the whole batch or is it just
going to go out by itself and fizzle
down and die
I guess there’s really only one way to
find out so we’re going ahead and light
up now all right let’s play it up moment
of truth
whoa that’s hot thank it’s hot in a
hurry new doggy wow wow wow okay so look
down here you can see all the charred
remnants of what should have been smoked
and it does totally charred went off all
at once now 300 – the cup lit on fire –
good thing we put the aluminum foil
around and that helped give it some
integrity well the one thing I noticed
there was no yellow smoke it just went
up in this huge cloud big puff of like I
don’t even know what a lot of flames and
then just drifted away
[Music]
[Applause]
lighting up remember that’s a lot of
fire what surprised me about that
reaction is there really wasn’t much
smoke at all it just kind of went up in
flames so where did all the coloring go
I see traces of it on the brick and on
the road itself but there was a lot of
coloring in there and now it’s
completely gone it’s very odd my guess
is the reaction was too hot and
everything just burned up so there was
no chance to the smoke to just gently
walked away I’m not very confident these
other ones are going to work for we’re
going to light them off but just to be
sure I think the next one we’re going to
dump out in a pile there spread a little
more evenly next up we got the purple
all right here we go if this works any
better I’m going to start at the side to
see if we get a slower burn and keep
that makes a difference Wow that gets
hot in a hurry interesting interesting
this is interesting okay let’s talk
about this so that’s our second batch we
lit it off and ignite so quickly the
only smoke that I see is like a grayish
smoke that evaporates I don’t see any
color whatsoever and all the dye is just
left over here is like charred remnants
[Music]
that’s really pretty see that’s what we
were expecting something of that nature
so what I’m noticing here guys I’m
seeing a pattern here that if this burns
too hot and I think collectively all of
these are too hot then instead of
releasing the dye it scorches it and it
doesn’t release any color at all so we
pretty much know what to expect at this
point but just for fun to wrap this
whole thing in aluminum foil at the risk
of it exploding just to see how it
reacts in the confined environment all
right here we go big one is lit whoa we
did look up there we got a cloud of
smoke trailing away I thought I saw a
little bit of color out of there not
very much though that was interesting so
it actually blew a hole through the top
of the aluminum foil here there’s still
little bits of random pieces going up
there and a lot of fire I don’t actually
know what that is that’s the cup on the
inside that’s burning but that just
exploded out the top it through if you
look at this loma on that you can
actually see the fuses you can see like
bits of smoke bomb flying out the top
everywhere is a very dramatic reaction
it’s kind of hard to tell if this worked
or not because these were actually the
white smoke bombs they did definitely
see a big cloud of white go off I can’t
really tell if this worked or not so
just for fun we’re going to wrap up the
last one this is a full cup of blue and
see what it does
there’s probably about 125 blue smoke
bombs in here however I’m not very
optimistic it’s going to work I think
it’s just going to explode and is going
to release black and white smoke however
you never know if you try so here we go
let’s do it
once it’s lit there’s no turning back
[Applause]
[Music]
oh nice I got a little bit of blue there
whoa oh that that actually have worked I
mean for about a foot and a half off of
that thing I can actually see thick blue
smoke it actually went very very quickly
like four or five seconds it was
completely gone and it spit out all this
blue dye all over the road and then it
kind of went up into a whitish smoke
which is actually insane very dramatic
reaction it spit a blue dye everywhere
it’s all over the sidewalk all over the
road to be a little bit the mess to
clean up but that was pretty cool don’t
know if it’s worth spending the money to
make a giant smoke bomb but that was a
pretty cool reaction so thinking back on
the experiments that we just tried here
today we really tried five different
experiment we took smoke bombs from the
dollar store and licked them off and
found they burn between three to six
seconds with a very wimpy plume of smoke
so we shelled those smoke bombs suck all
the yellow ones in the container and
list them off all at once what we found
was a little bit unexpected rather than
a giant cloud of yellow smoke there was
absolutely no colored smoke at all at
least assuming that white smoke doesn’t
really count what I think happened
instead was so much heat was released
that it charged the diet and prevent any
colored smoke from being released at all
so for our second experiment we spread
all the purple smoke bombs out on a
couple of bricks to see if by increasing
the surface area would help slow the
burn and the idea might have worked but
they were still in such close proximity
that the whole thing went up in a ball
of fire with no visible color for the
third experiment we tried wrapping a cup
full of white smoke bomb in aluminum
foil a few times to see how they would
burn confined and when we let them off
we did actually see a big cloud of white
smoke take off now since it was white
smoke bombs we couldn’t tell whether or
not it had anything to do with the
process so for our fourth experiment we
wrapped the blue ones up in a similar
manner there still was an enormous
amount of pressure that built up and
exploded but what surprised me was we
actually saw an explosion of color as
well at least for the first foot two
foot and a half above the container so
there you have it guys if you ever had a
burning desire to know what would happen
if you took hundreds of smoke bombs and
burn them all together now you know
thanks for joining us for this
experiment I’ll be looking for you the
next one talk to you them yeah these
aren’t insulated gloves these are wrong
gloves for the job yeah I play with fire
you expect to get burned
random happen
[Music]
hey guys there is an event called CVX
live that I’m going to be at August 3rd
through 5th stage presentations meet and
greets there’s even a special superfan
experience where we can hang out
one-on-one so click the link in the
description and I’ll be looking for you
