The powder would be horrible in very small rooms, also because I smothers the fire by killing air. That also means it's also suffocating anything alive in it

The ball is not meant to be thrown in just anything. It works quite bad as you can see but it has been designed for things like dumpster fires where the fire is contained in a small area so the powder can choke the fire.
Bingo. Just like the vase one would work much better in a hallway. You'd throw it and it would cover the floor/walls which would be much more effective than throwing it at a fire pit. Especially an open fire pit

2:00 Wait do they seriously not know the classifications of fires? B class fires are the gasoline type of fires. So that fire ball would be fore that. If they do not know this information i hope they take a proper fire course after this especially since they like to play with a lot of fire.
YOURE HERE TOO Just saw u and Justin y in a daily dose of internet video, Justin is also in this comment section. I’m now convinced you two are the same person
Also, controlled bursts, not a solid stream. You only have so much pressure and media to work with, so blowing your load all at once is wasteful and ineffective. Blast the base, evaluate what's still on fire, blast again, repeat.
Agree, powder cant work if it is directed in fire from above with small stream like they did in video. I tried extinguish controlled diesel fire (during training) with 5 kg (10 lb) extinguisher, I managed put out maybe 50% of fire and my mistake was same as seen in video powder simply bounces in the air and wont work. Little later trainer used smaller (maybe similar size like seen on video) extinguisher and managed put fire out. He used maybe half of powder and I used all available powder ... around fire were all white but fire still blooms.
Could you revisit this in the dome? You have a ton of airflow outside, so it's easy for the fire to reignite. In the dome, you could replicate something more similar to the conditions of a fire in someone's home.
The extinguisher ball is meant to be used indoors without wind to disperse the powder. You also had a fire pit with stacked layers of hot coals. Fire extinguishers are meant to extinguish "young" fires before they've had a chance to establish a coal base. This was a bad test guys.
Unfortunately I think that the wind was bringing in excess oxygen and fighting against you I think in a slightly different environment I think they would all have better effects
I agree with you. That firepit looked like it had a fire/air funnel. So, it could get air in through the base where if it were in a house, all it has, is what is available in the open.
@spoonicuss I'm just being pedantic; it's not important to almost everybody, so I don't really know what I was hoping to achieve by pointing it out, but "excess" would normally be referring to that which is not included as part of the sum of what's required, or having a use. "Excess" oxygen would be oxygen which was remaining; the unused, or not required; the leftover, or the amount remaining once the total had been subtracted the required/used amount.

I'm only wondering if I missed something and you pointed out something which could be relevant to the video for me to understand it better, but can come across somewhat arrogant, or condescending, when asking for clarification, etc. There really isn't an absolute necessity to be entirely strict with apt definitions if the sentence makes perfect sense for pretty much everybody that understands the context, but I pointed out, or questioned, the use of another word that somebody used seemingly incorrectly and it led me to understanding the comment fully - it wasn't clear from the initial format, but I'm glad I asked for clarification because it wasn't just me which understood it as it was written literally.

Alot of fires in houses can also take place on flat floors and walls, the exploding one and vase may have alot more effect on flat surfaces and walls than a fire pit, aswell as are they designed for outdoor use?

That would be cool. Using real fire would be incredibly dangerous, but they could test the wet blankets in like a room with heaters or maybe a sauna. That could represent the heat from a fire in a controlled way.
@@rdp16rulez They should use real fire, just don't have a person under the blanket. They could roll a chair or a dummy on a skateboard through with the blanket.
I would expect a regular water-filled fire extinguisher would be more effective than powder in such a situation, and these should all be more effective in an indoor emvironment than outside.
ABC extinguishers (which are the most common in use in houses and other buildings) are a dry chemical agent (ammonium phosphate). Most fire departments have a water extinguisher (usually 2.5 gal) which is normally referred to as a “can” or a “water can”, but the common fire extinguishers that are rated ABC are going to be dry chemical
Plain water extinguishers will exacerbate class B fires. The flammable oils will simply float on top of the water and continue to reignite and burn while being splashed around. If you want a water-based extinguisher that works well on class B fires, use AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam).
Water is a big No-No for class C fires, as it conducts electricity. There's a reason why ABC extinguishers use dry chemical agent. About the only thing that water can be used on is a class A fire like what they had in the video.
@@wanderingcalamity360 It's worse than that. If you use water on burning oil, the water sinks to the bottom, boils and releases steam explosively. Water on oil fires is deadly. However, water would have been the best solution to the wood fire we see in this video.
The ABO fireballs might be designed for enclosed areas. You might get better results if the wind was not blowing the powder away. You could build a plywood lean-to at the edge of and down wind of the fire pit. Or you could ask about using a firefighter training area for indoor tests.
I've heard of fire glass before. I might try making one but filling it with baking soda and a vial of vinegar in the center. When it breaks it should create Co2 and suffocate the flame.
I think you will have a much better result by using liquid instead of baking soda as well as some way to break the vial inside before throwing it. Two liquids (even as simple as vinegar and baking soda/water mix) will mix together much better that liquid and powder. Breaking the vial and shaking the ball will allow said liquids to at least somewhat mix instead of just relying on splashing. On top of that, the reaction itself would create some pressure so when the ball activates it's more of a fizzy burst instead of a splash followed by fizzle. Of course at that point using glass is a bad idea due to shards, but you might get away with other materials. For example a ziploc bag fill of vinegar inside of a (preferably heat sealed, or at least zipped and taped) bag of baking soda-water mix. To activate, squeeze the bags until the ziploc inside opens, then shake and toss. Having the outer bag taped as well as zipped should allow for more pressure to build up instead of the seal just cracking open. Ideally you'd use movie style breakaway 'glass' for the outside container, but then i don't know how the inside bag/container could get opened.
@@AgentWest Hey Agent West, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. I think your right; it might have trouble fully mixing in the flame AND the vial inside might not break. I could connect two glass containers side-by-side so they they both make contact with the ground and smash at the same time. I'm not too worried about glass debris myself as I'm a lampworker, but for others I agree a non-glass container would be better. Thanks again and have a great weekend!
There were a few videos that used the ball in a box, and it actually did quite well. Of course, not 100% effective, the fire actually recovered, but it did do better in an enclosed space.
So the afc ball things. I feel like if they were set off in an enclosed space like a bedroom or laundry room. It would work allot better. All the fire suppressant wouldn't just fly away. Edit: every one said this.
I do wonder if all of these would have a different reaction when it's inside somewhere without wind and such displaying the powder and such, aswell as on a flat surface where the fire is mostly on top of it rather then a bunch of random wood with all kinds of little hidey holes for the fire, perhaps in that dome of yours with perhaps some pieces of wood nailed together for a better comparison test?
You guys were outside testing these which is understandable but, in a real fire indoors there is no wind or draft necessarily adding oxygen to the fire allowing the powder from that ball disperse into the air. In my opinion, they might work better in a contained fire indoors where there isnt any wind.
9:00 The fire exchanger or the fire screamed:AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Me:O_O and 😂😂 | | | | | if you laughed too. Sorry I don’t know which one made a noise but it sure is funny.
I learned in an OSHA class that there are classes you can take on how to use fire extinguishers, and that if you use them incorrectly (read "without reading instructions or having experience), you can use them up with little to no effect. I suggest a video where you have a firefighter come on and explain the right way to use fire extinguishers and compare it to how you'd use it without training. It'd make a great PSA.
You guys need to do them in a building you need compression in order for the powder to work because when it detonates the powder is just being blown away by the wind.
Try to redo the experiment with the fire hydrant. It was positioned wrong. You dont spray down into the fire. You go at eye level or level with the container and spray across. You need to cut off oxygen at the base of the fire. The reason your fire kept going was that you didnt cut off its fuel ie the oxygen.
These comments have the most “FiRsT” an “ClaIM YoUr TiCkEt HeRe” comments that I have ever seen. Like I had to scroll so much and only found one genuine comment 😂 Also great vid TKOR
I think you should test all of those again, but in a room of some sorts. You could probably use some piled up dried dirt bricks to make a makeshift box which to cover with some metal roofing materials to simulate a small room, like those coffin-rooms or pod-apartments which pod-hotels and east-asian countries offer in theri biggest cities.
One suggestion I have for a future video is comparing different surfactents vs plain water for extinguishing class A and C fire. Just be careful with the perflourocarbons 😁
You hit the nail on the head. The effectiveness of any fire extinguisher is directly related to the extinguishing surface area agent vs the burning surface area. The fire they had going looked small, but it had a LOT of surface area. This is also why we use fog nozzles for firefighting. Simple bulk water works very well too, as we saw with the water bottle. For more information, look up the fire tetrahedron.
No you're not. It's a Thursday where I am, 2 PM (I live in CST). I think the timezones furthest ahead of me is 17 hours. That would be 7 AM on a Friday at the time of this comment. It is not the weekend for you.
In the fire service we sometimes take a dry chemical and spray with a fog pattern to help break down the surface tension. Or use dawn dish washing liquid to put out a fire a form of foam. It works
I declare a mistrial. This demands a recount. Re-compare these options in an enclosed space. Prefferably in a cheap, makeshift "bulding" type structure (just a room or hallway, as long as it has a roof and walls) inside the dome (to prevent high airflow blowing material away.) Minimum, just do it in the dome.
Guys. Get a fire extinguisher. Put it in your home. excellent advice. Having a fire extinguisher saved my life and my home. Get one. You won't ever need it until you do
Try out the mini firefighter, it's a small can of spray foam that puts out a lot of different kinds of fires Should be easy to get I know that vat19 sells it and they do videos sometimes I'm curious how it will compare to other options for putting out fires Like the "camping thing" where you Take dirt mix a little water in a bucket for throwing on the campfire to put it out in a hurry
The problem with your test is it was outdoors. If you really want to test then you need to be indoors. Maybe build a mock room in the dome.
When you threw the vase it bounced out and kept pouring. The balls powder was airborne. If that were indoors the powder would continue to starve the fire and the base would have stayed within the fire soaking it down.

To activate, squeeze the bags until the ziploc inside opens, then shake and toss. Having the outer bag taped as well as zipped should allow for more pressure to build up instead of the seal just cracking open. Ideally you'd use movie style breakaway 'glass' for the outside container, but then i don't know how the inside bag/container could get opened.
@@AgentWest Hey Agent West, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. I think your right; it might have trouble fully mixing in the flame AND the vial inside might not break. I could connect two glass containers side-by-side so they they both make contact with the ground and smash at the same time. I'm not too worried about glass debris myself as I'm a lampworker, but for others I agree a non-glass container would be better. Thanks again and have a great weekend!
Thank you for uploading ur videos only when I am about to sleep😭😂😂
i would be curious to see the exploding ball in an enclosed space where the powder doesn't have the opportunity to just float away
There were a few videos that used the ball in a box, and it actually did quite well. Of course, not 100% effective, the fire actually recovered, but it did do better in an enclosed space.
Nobody likes me
@@i6h565 i can tell
So the afc ball things. I feel like if they were set off in an enclosed space like a bedroom or laundry room. It would work allot better. All the fire suppressant wouldn't just fly away.
Edit: every one said this.
Class A is for trash, wood, and paper. Class B is for liquids and gases. Class C is for energized electrical sources
This is coming out during Fire Prevention Week. Nice ;)
Nate - We got 10000 [insert random item]
Cali - In the background playing or eating with the [insert random item]
we now have 9999 [random item]
We now have 9998 [insert random item]
@Amanda Poling We now have 9996 [insert random item]
We now have 9996 [insert random item]
We now have 9995 [insert random item]
Great job guys wonderful experiment
I do wonder if all of these would have a different reaction when it's inside somewhere without wind and such displaying the powder and such, aswell as on a flat surface where the fire is mostly on top of it rather then a bunch of random wood with all kinds of little hidey holes for the fire, perhaps in that dome of yours with perhaps some pieces of wood nailed together for a better comparison test?
Callie: I'm a pyro
Also Callie: I don't like big explosions
You guys were outside testing these which is understandable but, in a real fire indoors there is no wind or draft necessarily adding oxygen to the fire allowing the powder from that ball disperse into the air. In my opinion, they might work better in a contained fire indoors where there isnt any wind.
Most stuff does work better if used properly.....
A Nate and Callie vid!!!!! Yayyyy
9:00
The fire exchanger or the fire screamed:AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Me:O_O and 😂😂

| if you laughed too. Sorry I don’t know which one made a noise but it sure is funny.
I learned in an OSHA class that there are classes you can take on how to use fire extinguishers, and that if you use them incorrectly (read "without reading instructions or having experience), you can use them up with little to no effect.
I suggest a video where you have a firefighter come on and explain the right way to use fire extinguishers and compare it to how you'd use it without training. It'd make a great PSA.
roll the AFO in the base of a fire in the dome and see what happens!
You guys need to do them in a building you need compression in order for the powder to work because when it detonates the powder is just being blown away by the wind.
Try to redo the experiment with the fire hydrant. It was positioned wrong. You dont spray down into the fire. You go at eye level or level with the container and spray across. You need to cut off oxygen at the base of the fire. The reason your fire kept going was that you didnt cut off its fuel ie the oxygen.
Extinguisher, not hydrant.
People who have absolutely no idea how to fight fires, showing people how to fight fires. Priceless!
These comments have the most “FiRsT” an “ClaIM YoUr TiCkEt HeRe” comments that I have ever seen. Like I had to scroll so much and only found one genuine comment 😂
Also great vid TKOR
Ok I can confirm that there are now better comments
0:56 I love that shirt
Calli just put out fire! This is not normal🙃
The shirt that callie was wearing is just great
Look mom no hands lol
I think you should test all of those again, but in a room of some sorts. You could probably use some piled up dried dirt bricks to make a makeshift box which to cover with some metal roofing materials to simulate a small room, like those coffin-rooms or pod-apartments which pod-hotels and east-asian countries offer in theri biggest cities.
in defence of the afo ball they are for indoor use not out side on a windy day
try the ball inside
Who else loves cali’s shirt!
Me
I bought one
One suggestion I have for a future video is comparing different surfactents vs plain water for extinguishing class A and C fire. Just be careful with the perflourocarbons 😁
Does open fires (like shown) vs something on a flat surface react differently to the products/methods shown?
You hit the nail on the head. The effectiveness of any fire extinguisher is directly related to the extinguishing surface area agent vs the burning surface area. The fire they had going looked small, but it had a LOT of surface area. This is also why we use fog nozzles for firefighting. Simple bulk water works very well too, as we saw with the water bottle. For more information, look up the fire tetrahedron.
we may go vroom to get to the zoom but these ppl going boom
Fire Extinguisher: ABCD
Uses: POEM (Paper, Oil, Electrical, Metals)
Finaly nate and cali are doing what they used too. I missed cali playing with fire and nate is eating weird stuff again i am so happy.
The afo balls might work better in a enclosed space like a room or what ever
Seen alot of Nate and Cali love it
5:15 "Jump and scream," says the pyromaniac that looks for any excuse to set random things on fire in every video.
4:38: wow kool 👀 on here shirt
when it says "6 seconds ago"
Could you put the vase extinguishers into a garden pump sprayer and put out a fire like that?
It’s only the weekend for me so that’s why I probably early... 😂
So by weekend I meant like tomorrow there is no school for me so-
Same
@2027 Hannah Gorham it is for everyone, week days are all the same except time zone so idk what that guy is talking about
No you're not. It's a Thursday where I am, 2 PM (I live in CST). I think the timezones furthest ahead of me is 17 hours. That would be 7 AM on a Friday at the time of this comment. It is not the weekend for you.
@2027 Hannah Gorham it's the weekend for me school wise
WEEKEND ITS THURSDAY FOR ME WTF
In the fire service we sometimes take a dry chemical and spray with a fog pattern to help break down the surface tension. Or use dawn dish washing liquid to put out a fire a form of foam. It works
Claim your here before a 100k views ticket!
We do be here tho
Me
Claim
Yezzer
Yes sir claiming my ticket lol
Yes you guys used my idea again!! 👍
Pro tip: Don't put a hammer through a cellphone battery... Creates a lot of smoke 🙄
Relevance?
4:36 WOW KOOL
Absolutely none of these extinguishers are designed to be used outside.... You where right beside the dome, why didnt you use it?
0:17 Look Mom - No Hands
A class B fire is a liquid fire. Class "ABC" is a combination of three classes: A is combustible solids, B is flammable liquid, C is electrical fires.
Excellent video guys
I declare a mistrial. This demands a recount.
Re-compare these options in an enclosed space. Prefferably in a cheap, makeshift "bulding" type structure (just a room or hallway, as long as it has a roof and walls) inside the dome (to prevent high airflow blowing material away.)
Minimum, just do it in the dome.
Nate: we are gonna make fires today!
Callie: =D
Nate: and put them out.
Callie: D=
Guys. Get a fire extinguisher. Put it in your home.
excellent advice. Having a fire extinguisher saved my life and my home. Get one. You won't ever need it until you do
Firefighter tip! Don't panic and always aim towards the base of the fire to put it out efficiently! Could save your life.
The firevase looks like a health bonus from _Doom._
Keep it random! :)
"PLEASE! SOMEONE"
*Explosive fire extinguisher goes off*
"im going to die..."
Favourite quote of all time
oo 2 streams that's tricky-Nate 2020
Let's all address Cali's shirt! 😂😂😂😂
you noticed it also
Try out the mini firefighter, it's a small can of spray foam that puts out a lot of different kinds of fires
Should be easy to get I know that vat19 sells it and they do videos sometimes
I'm curious how it will compare to other options for putting out fires
Like the "camping thing" where you
Take dirt mix a little water in a bucket for throwing on the campfire to put it out in a hurry
Love the shirt Calli.
I died laughing on how they edited it so when he said poof it exploded it’s like his own sounds effect it’s near the end🤣🤣
