You know that Jason is a good friend when he didn't immediately tell Brian "I told you so" for not following his "you should wear safety equipment" advice from a couple of minutes before the injury!
The freezing works best on higher-end hardened steel locks. You can't get through those with bolt cutters (unless you're using significantly more expensive hydraulic cutters), and, as steel gets more brittle as you harden it, the added brittleness from freezing can actually make shattering the lock viable. Cans of compressed air are also much more concealable than bolt cutters. You can easily toss a can of compressed air and a hammer in a backpack, not so much with bolt cutters.
I am so glad I found this channel, I've been switching between your alcohol/mixer videos and then how to make a gas mask out of a coke bottle and lighter flashbangs... Love it!
Haha, I love this channel, it's my new favourite! This was on Burn Notice. They say you're supposed to completely empty the can of spray duster, fully upside down, and then shatter the lock with a hammer.

Isopropanol and dry ice works fine too. We use it to flash freeze histology samples for storage. At -80 degrees Celsius your fingers will shatter like frozen hotdogs, but I don't know if it weakens metal enough to be able to shatter chinesium brass.
"metal doesn't like to stay cold very long too" - ehm nope.. that's just plain wrong. Blowing away the coolant is counterproductive. You need to "boil" the lock in the coolant, as the evaporation (the boiling coolant) removes lots of heat.
"Blowing away the coolant" is the very act of inducing evaporation at a faster pace. It's why wind chill effectively strips your body of heat rather than still air.
No Brian :) You want the coolant to be in contact with the thing you are cooling. You were blowing it completely away. You want to increase the rate of evaporation. Submerge the thing you want to cool in the coolant, and when it stops bubbling (boiling) it has reached its lowest temperature. Basic science.
Wind chill is different to what you're doing. Wind chill introduces more cold air to you, removing the air your body has heated up. You were introducing room temperature air and blowing away the liquid and air cooled around it. It was essentially the reverse of a "wind chill".
mate u clearly dont understand basic thermofluids things cool fast when they have a cold thing moving across them thats why cooling systems use pipes with water moving and high speeds to cool the system faster. science isnt that simple when it comes to cooling things quickly
>"The cable is the weak point" Seriously? The flexible cable is more brittle than the lock? The made-in-China lock full of tiny moving parts? Also, hammering a metal lock on a soft, particle board table isn't really ideal- put the lock on a concrete floor, or steel tabletop; some surface that won't absorb all the impact. But there's an easy way to pop a cheap shackle lock with two crescent wrenches- or shim it with a coke can.
The problem with the bike lock is that, regardless of whether it gets significantly more brittle as it gets colder - the metal has both a large thermal mass, and great thermal conductivity - especially if you're focusing on a small part of it, it's going to take a lot to get it chilled.
The title "Shattering frozen rocks" blew my mind so fucking hard I literally HAD to click on the video. Also, I love what you guys do, keep doing it please.
Honestly, using the freeze it trick is only worth it for the high end locks where bolt cutters and hack saws just don't work well. In those cases, liquid nitrogen is preferred. It's not terribly expensive itself, but the Dewar flask or equivalent can be several hundred dollars.
OliOli I work in a warehouse. Shipping containers, the huge steel ones that come in on ships and get loaded on tractor trailers, have disposable bolts on them. They stay locked until they reach the destination, and then we pop the bolt with bolt cutters to unload it. Google "shipping container bolt" or something to that effect. They can be used for odds and ends too, like fence repair, but there are better tools for that. Shipping is the only thing I know of that they're specifically used for.
If you are interested in the topic, here's an explanation of the phenomenon seen in the video. The explanation is simplified because it is aimed to people that don't know anything about material science: ductility in any metal is caused by "holes", that are called vacancies, in the crystalline lattice left by some missing atoms (imagine a big pile of oranges at the market, if you miss a spot inside while building the pile, you have a vacancy). When you apply force to the metal, atoms can move around and occupy these holes, leaving new ones in the sites they left. when enough of these holes have clustered together, the metal deforms visibly. when this happens, we say that these holes "move around", and the more holes you have, the softer the metal is. Now, the number and mobility of these holes depends on the temperature of the metal, so, if you cool it down enough, you have less vacancies and the metal becomes brittle because if you hit it, instead of deforming itself, it breaks. For simplification, i'll say that with less temperature the atoms "vibrate less", so that you have less probability to form a vacancy. This mechanism works only with metals: the mechanism of why a polymer (rubber, plastic...) becomes brittle at low temperature is very different, and requires much less difference in temperature to see the change in properties.
From what i can tell on the first padlock you are meant to freeze the bar when it stands up so the liquid drips inside, then no so much try and shatter it, but hammer the bottom of the lock off just by hitting the top of the "cheaper metal" while the bar is being held it should pop right off.
as someone who lived for years in a place where the temperature hangs around -40 for extended periods of time you're not gonna be smashing too many things cooling them with keyboard blower
Pixode Boiling point of difluoroethane is -25C/-13F. It wont go colder than that by evaporating. Only way it can get colder is if I leave it outside in winter.
This stuff is crazy. I found that when I turned the can upside down, a similar reaction occurred to throwing boiling water into the air when it's really cold out. Despite that, a couple of quick squirts froze a hot glue stick rock solid to the point where I snapped it in half easily.
I know i'm late. But i find it kinda funny they mention the bitterant in the can to prevent people from using it as an inhalant. Then they continue to use 4 cans indoors. Then a co2 extinguisher.
Modern Rogue and everyone in the comments here has it wrong. Matter has 3 stages. Solid, liquid and gas. The melting point for steel is something like 1500°C. Meaning that steel is in its FROZEN state at under 1500°C. To something like water the difference between 20°C and -20°C is huge, but for something like steel, that temperature difference is minuscule. With nitrogen, which boils at -200°C you might get the steel brittle enough to crack. Even moreso possible with a shitty Chineseum alloy like these locks.
PS guys love the content otherwise. Chineseum joke is widespread on the internet and is more of a poke on low manufacturing standards for cheap products like the ones in this video and definitely not intended as a slight on the Chinese people. #staywoke
Bart Simpson called, he wants his ha- oh...wait. its unreal how many people would comment about your spikey hair in old videos. that constant onslaught of negative, tired and hacky jokes about you're look was even tiresome for me.. I can't imagine how it made you feel. hopefully you shrugged it off. its almost as if UA-camrs are actual real people with feelings! I think most viewers forget that when commenting. y'all are just humans like the rest of us.
No tools , No Freeze required! You can wreck small padlocks with just a towel easily, not a thick one, but a kitchen towel. Just thread it through the lock so both ends of towel have the same length, then yank both towel ends in one, or with both hands hard down, your small padlock should break at 1st down yanking, guaranteed! But do as much brute force down yanking as needed. Works even on not so small padlocks. We did this all the time, couple times a week, on our army lockers, cause keys were apparently lost quite often, or combinations forgotten, so we got lotsa practice with that technique. Back in the day, Cheers!
I'm a police officer at a college and we are actually seeing this issue. Lots of cable or chain locks are being broken with blunt force, righting the combination. No key locks are being targeted. We suspect that a cold substance might be in use as well. The actual internal locking pin is the weakest point and is what's been giving way.
Okay, to clear the air on this really easy trick... the science behind opening a padlock with a can of cold condensed liquid (like butane or canned air) is that the micro-springs inside the lock are so thin that after unloading an entire cheap a** $1.75 bottle of butane it deep freezes them. Immediately after you have done this (unloading the can upside down into the lock via the key entrance) then hitting or jarring the lock with the stresses on the pins and springs inside the lock will shatter and break leaving you with a handful of dismantled cold lock insides. Much cheaper than a pair of heavy duty bolt cutters and far easier to reach those key holes than getting a pair of cutters around some locks!
its actually mostly the other way around with diamond, you can shatter diamonds however its much easier to cut them when its on a much bigger scale since they have weak points which allow you to cut straight through
If you hit it with a butane torch, you could ruin the heat treatment on the steel, and once it cools it should be really brittle. May not work, because I don't know what temperature you'd have to heat it too or whether the torch would suffice. But, ya know, maybe.
I think the problem was that you only froze the surface of the metal and the inside was still warm and flexible so it was enough to nudge the top part out but it wouldn't break, if you try it again spray inside and the other side too
I would suggest trying that, but putting it into a key hole and seeing if you could shatter it that way. If you wanted to break a safe or house lock, that might be a little more probable. I don't know tho.
Have y’all ever tried to make flame throwers out of glass bottles in a fire? It’s about 1/2 water. 1/4-1/3 motor oil (I use used oil) and the rest air. Set it in a fire and watch after a min-3 min ish. Depending on the fire’s temp. You don’t want it to hot or too cold though. Or else it’ll shatter the glass before it shoots flames out. Idk. Kinda fun thing to do at a party. Just don’t stand “down range” of it lol
I'd be curious to see how this works on a U-lock. Not because I plan on stealing a bike or anything, I just know that those are advertised as the most effective theft protection for bikes (aside from not owning a bike)

No, metal does lose heat more quickly, that's why it often feels cold to the touch, because the heat is QUICKLY being transferred from your skin.
Love watching you guys doing all kinds of crazy stuff.
you guys should try this with a liquid nitrogen and much bigger locks
Brian understands basic thermodynamics. That's cool.

But there's an easy way to pop a cheap shackle lock with two crescent wrenches- or shim it with a coke can.
Plus most cheap locks lack serrated pins, so they are easymode to pick.

You were worried about how expensive it was to use the keyboard cleaner but fire extinguishers cost FIFTY TO SIXTY DOLLARS EACH

Have y’all ever tried to make flame throwers out of glass bottles in a fire? It’s about 1/2 water. 1/4-1/3 motor oil (I use used oil) and the rest air. Set it in a fire and watch after a min-3 min ish. Depending on the fire’s temp. You don’t want it to hot or too cold though. Or else it’ll shatter the glass before it shoots flames out. Idk. Kinda fun thing to do at a party. Just don’t stand “down range” of it lol
Freon is readily available in Canada as car AC refill
I'd be curious to see how this works on a U-lock. Not because I plan on stealing a bike or anything, I just know that those are advertised as the most effective theft protection for bikes (aside from not owning a bike)
