guys Brandt and I are going to be at a
mini Maker Faire it’s at electric Park
in Thanksgiving Point which is in Lehi
Utah it’s gonna be going down September
15th we’re gonna be bringing some of our
favorite projects we’re gonna have a
stage show we’ll have a craft table
where you can make your own sky balls
it’s gonna be awesome check the link in
the description for 20% off of admission
price which is only like $8 to start
with so if you can make it out there
would love to see you
YouTube user Rikki Alvarez wanted to see
what would happen if we put a smoke
grenade inside of a watermelon we’re
pretty sure it would just make smoke
inside the watermelon and leak out
wherever the hole is so we wanted to
upgrade this idea to something even
cooler we want to turn the watermelon
into the smoke grenade so we’ve got all
of our chemicals for making our smoke
powder we’re gonna mix up a batch in six
different colors layer them inside the
watermelon add a pull-tab fuse and Smith
what happens the idea here is simple
we’ve got a great recipe for making
smoke powder and several different
colors will mix up a batch of each color
layer them inside our hollow watermelon
light it off and see what the result is
the first step is going to be mixing up
a whole bunch of our smoke powder base
that has four different chemicals all of
which are a white powder and we then go
ahead and add the colored powders later
but we’re not gonna do that here we’re
gonna take this up to the dome and light
it off because it’s a much better area
we’re not bothering people with the
smoke so let’s mix up well I don’t know
about that jar full of smoke powder base
we’ll take that up to the dome mix up
the individual colors and fill our
once we’ve got all of our smoke powder
mixed up and inside of our watermelon
we’re going to want to add one of those
little pull-tab fuse igniters because
those are by far the most fun so we’ve
got our book of matches we’ve got some
fuse and I have this steel straw that
I’m going to use to sort of guide the
fuse down into the watermelon into the
[Music]
[Applause]
we’ve got a watermelon we’ve got our
smoke powder and we have our pull-tab
fuse let’s head up to the dome haul this
thing out fill it with smoke powder and
light it up here we are out of the dome
so now it’s time to hollow out this
watermelon and fill it up with smoke
my bap
[Music]
our watermelon is carved out it’s got
holes at it into it it’s got a spot for
our fuse straw let’s finish mixing up
[Music]
one caveat I should explain before we
light this off all of the chemicals that
we’re using for this are like ten months
old and I’m not entirely sure if they go
bad or not so we’re hoping that this
ignites the same way as other smoke
stuff we’ve done we don’t know
here we go a watermelon full of smoke
powder and I mean like that is a lot of
smoke powder in there there we go pull
we have ignition
[Music]
so much ignition that’s amazing
little piece of fuse flew out holy cow
that is a lot of smoke oh it’s working
really well remember how I was worried
that maybe it wasn’t gonna work
I’m not worried anymore yeah it’s
I don’t know how the lid has separated
from the rest of the watermelon I think
the body of the water mom got so hot
that it just kind of contracted and
curled down the ledges stayed up on top
right there the remnants of a whole lot
of smoke powder oh that worked great
there’s like little bits of every color
that didn’t quite burn you’re just
getting plumes of different colors I
love how divided up the colors are like
it’s not just all swirling together to
make one grey mist you’re really seeing
a bunch of different colors coming out
at different times when the smoke
cleared I half expected this garage door
to just be completely multicolored like
someone had just graffitied all over it
but amazingly it didn’t really seem to
do much that was the largest amount of
smoke powder I have ever set off at once
and the effect was really really cool
there was so much smoke that was so
thick and so vibrantly colored I was
honestly a little worried that it wasn’t
gonna work in transition colors I
thought we might just get a grayish
brownish plume coming out the top but
they did a really good job of just going
through the whole rainbow order I loved
how it turned out and then just the
extra that I poured out has just been
going and it keeps finding little bursts
of more smoke to ignite overall very
cool idea Ricky Alvarez thank you for
