Anybody else feel like the local Fire Department just has their address memorized? “Where did you see the smoke? Ah. It’s them again”
Lol
Golden😄👌
So underrated
For those curious, when you spray water on a class D fire, the intense heat rips the oxygen out and uses it as fuel
with magnesium it liberates hydrogen which then reacts more and explodes.
I’ve had it ignite in my face putting car fires out
hydrogen and oxygen are explosive when mixed
and then leave the hydrogen free to burn in the atmosphere, so no what not even as a joke!!
because magnesium creates it's own oxygen
Do the neighbors ever come over like, “why was your backyard on fire?” or “what are you doing? You are adults.” 😂👌
Kaitlyn Matura - yeah, I’m thinking, on this video especially, I really wouldn’t want to be their neighbours at all.

Try putting out the magnesium with liquid nitrogen?
OR
Try making the magnesium even brighter with liquid oxygen
The first one is ok... The second one is suicide
Whis Sama liquid oxygen would also put it out most likely i believe it is as cold if not colder than nitrogen correct me if I’m wrong
Andrew Meany it is less cold
@@M3ANIAC for reference look at their liquid oxygen on carpet video... Heat and pure oxygen= bad time...
If you’ve ever seen a rocket explode, that’s liquid oxygen. Oxygen is why magnesium can’t be put out with water, and why it will even get brighter when sprayed. The oxygen in the water is also being burned.
Uses water to make fire brighter
Brilliant outstanding move
Why does it work though
@@yocheeseifyI'm a sailor, so I've been through DC classes where we learn about fires. When magnesium burns, it creates magnesium oxide, as they said in the video. What they didn't say is that when the magnesium oxide comes in contact with water vapor, it reacts, creating magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Burning magnesium has a very violent reaction with hydrogen gas, which creates more heat and light. It's the reason we just have to jettison (throw overboard) burning aircraft and other class D (metal) fires. Also, fun fact, magnesium doesn't require outside oxygen to burn, so those jettisoned aircraft can potentially burn under the water for years
"You can't use water to put out a magnesium fire!"
Nate: *Keeps spraying it*
might work if it wasnt airated so much aside from the fact that it still would need loads and loads of water
He was trying to get it to glow brighter
@@kratosorokai1546 It would not. H2O + MgO= Mg(OH)2 +energy. By spraying it with water, he was feeding the fire.
@@frantisekvrana3902 i did say he had it airated aka cause of the spray it would not work but i wonder bout if you submerse it
Throw it in pool = explosion?

Try to put burning magnesium into liquid oxygen
Magnesium makes it’s own oxygen so if you said that to put it out then it makes no sense, also liquid OXYGEN
@@CAL9919A liquid oxygen exists
news report later that night "In other news there is now a large crater were the house of a group of youtubers was located. The search for survivors is still ongoing."
Or liquid nitrogen
@@CAL9919A magnesium does not produce its own oxygen. It can get oxygen from most sources (water, co2, etc) tho as it is a very strong reaction both from entropy and entalpy

fun fact : magnesium is used as underwater torches by divers .
Thanks for this....i was curious what would happen if the rods were submerged in water....apparently the answer is nothing lol
Its called a bn flare not a water torch
@@caseysellers214 The magnesium fire is hot enough to separate the molecules in water, so from what I can see the oxygen in the water keeps it burning, but the surrounding water in the ocean is enough to keep the hydrogen from exploding and it merely dissapates upwards as hydrogen gas and/or bonds with free oxygen molecules. On land, the water and magnesium tends to just explode violently.
(Note: I am not an expert, this is just how I understand it works.)

This reminds me of the time in my high school chemistry class where we had our first (and only) lab. While I was not there that day (I was on a field trip with my history class), I heard that one of my classmates had supposedly set a bar of magnesium on fire, and the fire department had to be called in.

Had an idea and thank you for answering haha.
Many years ago, when I was in a rented house share with another pyromaniac, we acquired a magnesium box. It was great fun breaking bits off and setting it on fire with the blow torch that was set up on the kitchen table.
One night, when we got bored with the blow torch, we chucked the remains of the box (a corner) onto the open fire in the living room. Eventually it caught fire, then we decided to bung some ammonium nitrate into the corner of the burning box (we just happened to have a big bag of it in the cupboard for some reason). Nothing happened for about a second, then there was the brightest light I have ever seen that lasted for a very short time and the box was gone. It must have looked spectacular from outside, a shaft of white light heading skywards from the chimney.
Put a crucible of molten magnesium in your pool. That sounds like a great idea!
It would still burn. We had a big magnesium fire and it was completely submerged in water and still burning.
Bruh magnesium explodes in water... a chunk like that means big boom

Great video guys! I like that you stress the point not to put water on a mag fire. I work at a mag manufacturing plant where we cast, mill roll, and thermal anneal over 300k lbs of mag plate a month and I've seen some of the craziest mag fires only get worse because some new guy didn't know what he was doing. The plate is nearly inflammable in normal conditions but the mag chips are well...you demonstrated that nicely here.
So what is the most convenient method of extinguishing small magnesium fires?
@@standardloginname I dunno about most convenient but what I do is buy a pair of VaporFLY's and run the other way. /s Actually, for a SMALL magnesium fire you smother it with salt, sand, or a dry-powder extinguisher.

Eva Axman thank you for pointing that out! That literally totally makes this comment irrelevant! Thanks again guys.
You could develop that magnesium + dry ice to a firestorm. That would be cool.
In the U.S. Navy, every time you are assigned to a different ship you go through training on that ship's fire fighting procedures. The basic procedures are common throughout the Navy, but customized to each ship because of differences in carried fuels, different fire fighting equipment, etc. On an aircraft carrier where "metallic fires" are more likely, the training is very simple. "You can't put this type of fire out. The only thing you can do is get it off the decks as quickly and safely as possible and into the sea. It will continue to burn even submerged, but burning metal does no damage if it's sitting at the bottom of the ocean".
What if you make magnesium powered rocket?
Not really practical. Magnesium burns bright yes, but it's not very energetic when compared to other fuels
@@Kumquat_Lordput it in some water while burning in a confined space and you could probably get some thrust, but not really enough to do much with

Once had one of those magnesium fire starters...got sick of the powder and stuck the bar about halfway in the sand under the firepit screen and lit it with a blowtorch. Needless to say its not extinguishable easily i was throwing logs right on it and they were catching fire almost immediately. Had a cool chunk of glass in the sand at the end of the fire also
I really like all of your guys videos and they're great you should try cooking steak with magnesium powder

TKOR, i'm not sure if you'll respond, but if you were to bury a magnesium fire, would that work?
Yes, magnesium is used in aviation for making the transmission and gearbox housings for the UH 60 Black Hawk helicopters. This is my direct experience, but I'm sure there is many more examples.
It's also often used in flares such as those used to spoof incoming heat-seeking missiles.
Do some experiments with paint like freeze drying it, burning it, dehydrating it, etc.
yeah like empty 100 spray paint cans and boil it and see if it catches on fire
Short experiment what if you wore solar eclipse glasses and made flares from magnesium and looked at it. Could you see it?
If so how bright? That sounds interesting to me.
Eclipse glasses are about the same as a welding mask in how much light they let through, so yes, you would be able to see the magnesium just fine through them.
8:08 THAT SOUND!!! LOVE IT!

Try dipping the magnesium in liquid oxygen. Does it make it more flammable?
Liquid oxygen itself isn't flammable, but oxygen does promote burning, and magnesium fires are hot enough to separate the molecules in water making everything more on fire... so I hypothesize that, while it will not make an explosion, the breakup of the O2 molecules would mean that the magnesium would burn hotter and longer.
@@GreebleClown you mean brighter and quicker right?
@@GreebleClown oxygen doesn't promote burning, you need it to Burn anything. Burning is the reaction of a flammable material and oxygen.
@@user-lg7cb6sr5z Or in a broader sense, burning is any fast-paced redox reaction, it's the reaction between any reducing agent and oxidizing agent, reactions from the molar equivalents of magnesium and sulfur to exothermically form Magnesium Sulfide, to the reaction between two oxygen molecules and one methane molecule to produce carbon dioxide and water. Even the formation of Sodium Chloride salt from the reaction between chlorine gas and sodium metal fits the criteria
i’ve used thermal lances in construction for cutting through 1ft thick steel. they pump liquid 02 through the center of a hollow magnesium rod
What happens if you mix magnesium powder and thermite? will it make it hotter/easier to start ?
