World’s Most Dangerous Rope


Haha, it was so cool!
What about all of’ve got to see this.
I just ordered one hundred fifty meters Chinese fireworks fuse, so in this video
Are we going to have fun with it. But because fireworks fuse fuses are technically pyrotechnic
I moved away most things that are combustible, and now fire safety protocols in place.
But here’s the meaning behind this experiment. Just this one fuse is three millimeters
and it is specially designed to burn an inch of about a half to two seconds.
But after some time where I had played with these fuses it made me think,
What would happen if we tried to make them thicker? so to help me with the challenge today
I bring rope-lavnings machine back as we did in a previous project, so we can wrap ourselves a very thick and very dangerous
pyrotechnic rope. Now in all remember how the rope-lavnings engine works
we take a piece of string and we threading it back and forth around the rotating hooks,
but instead of using string to it here
we’re going to use the fireworks fuse.
And I think that we certainly have enough that we can get about three to four strings per. hook provide a total of twelve,
which should give us a rope which is about three and a half centimeters thick. Okay
so let’s round up the fuse and make the machine ready.
Okay quick update all together. I threaded the machine with our fireworks fuse
and I thought we would get about three to four fireworks fuses per. hook
We ended up getting seven per. hook which gives us a total of twenty-fuses which comes with our rope
which is completely insane!
That means this rope going to be close six and a half centimeters thick, which is twice as large and certainly very
more strongly than I had thought. You can look at the ends over here
I’ve taken something purple electrical tape and tied all the lines together to keep them close, looped them into a
swivel hook
and now all we have to do is take our drill and hooks it to the back, and when we press the button
would we like to see our rope twist detselv. Let’s get some rope
It’s pretty cool. Okay you can see there a lot of excitement which is bound in the here strings right now
They are not as tight, but if we start letting this come forth
so make it certainly a pretty cool fireworks fuse rope.
It is beautiful.
It does not quite at themselves, I have got to make small adjustments because it is not quite as smooth as if you use a string, but you can see
that it works.
It’s a rope.
A fuse rope.
so is there.
It’s cool, look at that!
It ended pretty well. I bet that it is strong enough to be able to climb on it.
Okay, so I am going to release a bit of tension here, let’s see the turn. Hey, it does not rotate, okay.
just drag it close for a second and then see if there is some excitement back, okay
so it behaves a little differently than ropes made of string. Not as much excitement in it.
It could have be a little cleaner.
Look at this all together, we have popularized it.
We have taken twenty-one strings of fireworks fuse and tied them together
to make a real fireworks fuse rope. And this is strong.
it is very strong. It’s something that you can actually throw off the side of a cliff and rappel down
I am rimlig sure it can hold your weight with no problems. The coolest thing is that when you get to the bottom
then you could set fire to it, and so would all the rope disappear. I’m not sure what purpose
it would give unless you run from pirates and tried to burn your tracks
but here you have it, a fireworks fuse rope which we must test.
It is cool. It actually works as a rope.
I just came outside
and I tied the rope to my basketball goal and lifted it into the air because I know that some of you
will know how durable this rope is. Is it strong enough to keep my body weight?
So I’m going to swing up on that for you right now.
No problem
As you can see the rope is very durable.
It is not super nice to hold in your hands, but which rope is. Let’s set fire to it.
Just for fun, I collected all the debris from the fuse package and stoffede it into this glass, the ones we’re going to burn them first.
I’m just going to turn on one of these fuses, and we will see what happens. so it now.
That was fast.
Haha, it was so cool. Oh my God. That was cool. So the fuses went to work much faster than expected
it burned very quickly and so when it came down so everything went just
erupted and all these little pieces of lumber flew up and rained down on the area. It was pretty cool.
What has the rope going to do? Let’s find out.
This is my caste table I used Batarang video
I have the rope hanging down to simulate if we were going over a cliff. If we let the bottom and everything
the heat coming up, how much difference would it make? let us set fire to it and figure it out.
Wow
Oh my God.
It very quickly became hot. It was highly
so fast, it was so hot I could feel the heat from about ten meters away, and see just throw my table here
it is completely charred along the front edge if you look down at the ground you can hear pieces of lumber which is still sizzling and popping.
it went really fast.
Absolutely unbelievable, I am blown away.
It was much faster than a half to two seconds per. inch would not you say? I think
I think the whole thing only lasted about four seconds. I can not wait to see slow-mo’en on it.
Oh my god seen on high-speed all you can see is this burning yellow ball
which move upwards. It was a huge amount of heat.
I mean, I was like 10 meters away and I could feel the heat that radiated, see I sweat
I mean, there’s hot outside here
but I sweat because of the flame. I mean I know we had it hanging down so the heat could hike up
but it blows me still how fast it burned! since it had first taken off, it was gone in a few seconds
Exploderende pieces of debris and small pieces of fuse rain fall from the sky.
absolutely fantastic.
It was precisely what I needed. I feel satisfied. That was enough for today.
So there you have it all together an epic day experimentering with what is perhaps the world’s most pyrotechnic rope.
I’m glad that no one was hurt today. Thank you for Attending with me in this experiment, see you in the next. Talk to you there.
So it now.
Aha false alarm let me hit it again.
Tough!
Okay, I’m going to flip upside down
Yep, it’s pretty durable’d say.
