Still one of my favourites of your videos. Mainly because of the suspense of seeing that pressure gauge going off the scale and the carnage that followed.
My first thought was; That cat's seen/heard some shit... Then I thought of the neighbours always hearing explosions from next door then having no power
+eric hoagland Yeah in this the pulp/meat or "copra" acts as a non permiable barrier like the aluminium liner in those tanks and the fibrious outer layer is similar to the wound reinforcing filament (kevlar cf or gf). Probably if you dipped or pressure cured these coconuts in epoxy or polyester resin they would withstand double the pressure for a short while. Mind you this is superheated steam and that stuff eats organic material quite readily. If these were done with HPA or HPN the pressure could be lot higher and they might withstand it for a longer time....Robinson Crusoe had no excuse for not building an air gun. :)
D.J. Hyperoptix I did the same, replaying several times, and then attempted to quote Photonicinduction's comments here. Some of the best comedy is unscripted!
LakeNipissing If the coconut is about 4 inches diameter, there would have been about 11,000 LBS of force on the shell from the inside at 220 PSI, which is when the explosion occurred.
Epic! The anticipation of "will it get to 50 PSI??" then it sails past "something over 170 PSI"!! Just shows how VERY strong Nature's fibre reinforced composites are! :-)
I like how the red zone exactly marks the point where the pressure does indeed get critical, with the bubbles and all, and how the thing getting PAST the red zone marks the point where the whole building/cocunut would pretty much blow up. No higher measure is needed.
This is still one of my favourite ever UA-cam videos between the coconuts popping, faccking ell, the bits of cup everywhere, the cat that has seen some sh*t, the side eye from Henry the Hoover, telling us how to recreate it ourselves (research and development ;) ) and the fact the neighbours must be like "Clive he's exploding coconuts again". Outstanding from start to finish! Bravo!

yeah, the juice inside acts as an electrolyte, allowing current to flow between the electrodes. As the liquid heats up from the current it turns to steam, which is what makes it blow. A bigger coconut would have a bigger shell, which could contain more pressure before finally failing in a sudden release of energy (explosion). The part that I find most interesting is that your experiment showed that you didn't want to go above 5 amps. I would have guessed the higher the current, the more heat, and the more quickly the steam builds up, and a quicker explosion. Interesting.
This is absolutely amazing Andy, great to see the original video. and Part 2, explosion 3 was amazing, venting like a pressure cooker under stress, but coconut in the TV. absolute climax. it crossed my mind ( Where is my hammer ! ) not required I will need to source some South Pacific coconuts and try this. better than batteries anytime.
kid: hey guys, gonna do one bomb of dry ice and a bottle? kids: yeah! phtonicinduction: dry ice bomb is for ladies, if you want do do a bomb, plug one full coconut in the wall and throw by the wall!
And yet, when the last LCD rolls of an assembly line in Malaysia or somewhere, the best LCD will still not have beaten the best CRT on a wide variety of important points. A CRT combines very low persistence, near perfect black levels and a wide gamut; OLED may beat it one day, but LCD sure as hell can't touch it. In large sizes they are also surprisingly efficient. (in smaller sizes a lot of energy is lost in the heating of the electron gun etc.)
soylentgreenb Would you say birds are dinosaurs? No, but descendants of them. Would you say LCDs are CRTs? No, but they are successors of them. And btw there are no dinosaurs living now.
I came across your site only a few days ago and I think it is one (if not) the best. I have not laughed as hard as this coconut one. Well done fellas. Keep em coming. I have a lot of catching up to do on your channel!
I gotta admit when I first started watching your videos I thought this guy is wack and it wouldn't be entertaining....but I stuck with you and now u crack me up and I love it. Good yob bro
Destroying a CRT TV by putting a coconut inside and blowing it up. As someone who has destroyed quite a few CRT TVs myself with various tools, I must say I am impressed.
@@gonun69 Once in a while the man works hard to wrench a fart out for his vidyas. Even wafts it, sniffs it and comments on the stench. (That was right before he LAST turned single.)
first. this was an awesome and exciting video as always. Second. I noticed your camera is a really odd one in that it scans vertically, not horizontally to take a frame in a video. I can tell when the power flickers on that last explosion, the top of one of the frames is still in light while the bottom is in darkness.
Still one of my favourites of your videos. Mainly because of the suspense of seeing that pressure gauge going off the scale and the carnage that followed.
+bigclivedotcom Oh, you commented on it just now. So this is why it was in my sidebar from your video. UA-cam works in damn weird ways...
Didnt expect you here, but on the other hand, why not
+bigclivedotcom Sort of like AvE pressurizing the oil filled pressure gauges to many times their capacity.
+bigclivedotcom Funny how I got to this video because of a suggestion from one of yours
+flenge5463 Sadly the spud was not as exciting as these coconuts.
Never thought I'd ever see a coconut with a pressure gauge on it.
Imagine getting that through airport security
It's specific species of the coconut only able to grow under high voltage environment
😂😂😂
Gilliigan's Island😅
yet here we are
"I do believe that pressure gauge is -oh fuck I'm outta here" Priiiiiiiiiiiceless. XD
I loved that
“Faaakin’ hell”

Not gunna lie, that made me nose exhale quite hard.
That had me crackin up 😂😂😂😂
My first thought was; That cat's seen/heard some shit... Then I thought of the neighbours always hearing explosions from next door then having no power
Alan Douglas The cat may be (close to) deaf and blind now, from witnessing many arcs and explosions, so reaction responses may be minor.
Funnily enough the coconut explosion made my cat jump
he must be the only human who can say, "I've destroyed a TV with a coconut"
*****
ok then how about "I've destroyed a TV with a coconut bomb"
"I've destroyed a TV with a coconut using electricity"
More like, "I've blown up a TV with a coconut."
Also prbably the only human who ever said to his cat "You need to get outta here, the coconut is about to explode"
He still is.
who knew coconuts are rated to 170psi
Their construction sort of reminds me of composite pressure vessels.
+volvo245 Kinda like a paint ball or scuba tank. lol

+volvo245 good to know it's going in my prepping back pack.
I dunno. With as far off the scale as it went, I'd say coconuts are rated closer to 230 - 280 psi.

Coconuts are good, explosions are better... Exploding coconuts are fuckin awesome lol
Headphones + Coffee + This video.....gonna have a bad time.
This deserves way more attention. This is youtube GOLD! One of the best on here.
a real classic
Never thought I would say this but I have a respect for coconuts 170+ psi damn

He has a point
