[@michelenotaro8167]

[@dedew84100]

Only the case, gopro will be fine.

3 Questions:
1) The video editing "with white grids" is done how? software?
2) Does the pyrotechnics tech have his own channel?
3) what kinda firecracker (explosive) that blew up at the end of video?

[@Shrimp-ov8jz]

Yeas!
I ❤️ the backyard scientist

[@thisishowwebingham]

Holy awesome!!

[@biker451]

I'm always amazed that for a "scientist" he doesn't think things through before he does his "experiments." First thought through my head when I saw what he was trying to do was to isolate the circuits so they don't blow the circuit breaker.

[@RedwoodSupport]

He does things from the hip, it is his style (and flaw).

[@unconventional_health]

i know, he really isnt a real scientist he just calles himself that and entertains people becasuee of the reactions

[@sambenedict7804]

Well he did a good job judging by the views and the fact you commented

[@teddytaylor3373]

Me: I think I've seen that Hawaiian shirt before
The backyard scientist: there's something called a thermite washing machine

[@MattRHD]

These are my fav GoPro vids

[@milkywaylibrary]

why is he doing this?

[@GEARGAMES0]

because he lives in a developed country and had enough money for spend in whatever he wants....

[@MATTYBE]

Because he has over 2 million subscribers on his channel and makes a decent amount of money doing stuff like this.

[@CoolSteve08]

And because GoPro can afford to sponsor him for stunts like this with free GoPros etc

[@paulhicks9399]

Because he's a scientist and you're thick as shit.

[@TrailRidersBMX]

His neighbors must think hes nuts

[@ludicrous7044]

He runs up their fire 🔥 insurance!!🤦🏻‍♂️

[@arnodsl2279]

Poor GoPros...

[@Sal4Ro]

Hahaha how many times have the police or fire department been to your house?

[@christiandulong5897]

No GoPros were harmed during the making of this video

[@willkellogg8462]

a big firecracker? that shit is dam stick of dynamite

[@AB-ou8ve]

4:15
The entrance to hell!

[@connormcquinn9778]

Dang it! They didn't show the full carnage at the end! They showed the guys' reactions, and we got to see the result in a thick cloud of smoke, but they didn't show what the carnage was with the smoke cleared!

[@assilito3879]

Cool video!

[@supertornadogun1690]

That wasn't a firecracker it was a salute

[@cheekifirabreeki1344]

what kind of firecracker blows up like a granade

[@Yoshiepic]

The ChainMailBoy The kind pressed against two objects that prohibit it shooting away.

[@DrewJPS]

GoPros were harmed in the making of this motion picture.

[@naturefunwjasown4267]

Classic footage there..

[@thedukeofcalifornia129]

*Oh and how did you protect (what did you use) to prevent your GoPro from melting from 5k degrees Fahrenheit while attached to the dryer when the thermite reacted spontaneously???

[@cryan584]

did it dry your close then :P

[@patrickluna8230]

GEYSER!! 4:16

[@ludicrous7044]

Wanna have some fun?? Weld five pound weights to the washer/dryer baskets-Don’t fasten them down -
strap them together -use a power controller to start them slow. Gradually speed them up and watch the carnage! 😬💀😊

[@SolidShoikot]

When you have way too much free time and money.

[@Bart360spider]

Which ''firecracker'' was that? I want those for New Years Eve...

[@CG-yi8bl]

Great

[@picsci7227]

[@unconventional_health]

[@RUS38]

5:38 when you call RGD-5 a firecracker

[@abcd969696]

Now bring back to me those 6 minutes of my life

[@funguydie]

I was expecting Colin

[@SuicideNeil]

Pro tip: go and look at Photonic Induction's channel to learn how to hot-wire a washing machine properly, then come back and try again.

[@jeihansptr8642]

[@mrandmrscrooked]

You should of used GoPro and nano-thermite on 9/11.

[@morty1504]

mrandmrscrooked chill m8

[@sambenedict7804]

9/11 jokes are never ok...
unless they're funny

[@Yoda-yd2ds]

Heyyy

[@bassmetalheadbang]

Jet fuel can't melt steel beams........

[@unconventional_health]

i know they said it was the jetfuel but the government acctually put thermite into the towers

[@bassmetalheadbang]

Salamander Workshop
yep...... That's why it went down like a controlled demolition.....

[@ismailse3858]

Wow.. keren

[@Lentonsky482]

there was a dji mavic commercial when i started the video hahah

[@davidangeles5342]

Contamina mucho 😑😐

[@MatthewSuffidy]

Not a safe video. Lighting the stuff when there and blowing stuff up nearby with no barriers...

[@theplourde]

Annoying music, choppy editing...this video didn’t need to be almost six and a half minutes. Just show the action.

[@dylanbrown7294]

That looks like 9/11

[@drewmusselmilk6943]

667th like it's ok it not an evil number anymore

[@fbizaiadox1250]

Mom's gonna be pissed!

[@elliot7110]

You should have set it off as it was spinning.

[@kille78]

Thats what they were trying to do, genius....

[@elliot7110]

Kille78 They lit it before spinning it?

[@kille78]

+Elliot Vickers he put chemicals in it so it would have a delayed ignition. The plan was to put the chemicals in, turn it on and then it would ignite mid spin but it didn't work correctly

[@RealTylerBell]

learn to what thermite does first then learn where to put it to "cut" not burn

[@kille78]

How about you learn to English?

[@ibiza8426]

dare i say you got fucked over

[@ethancooper5854]

Cambrucho do you drive? Or have you ever been on an airplane for leisure or recreational purposes..... if so you're arguably just as bad

[@sCiphre]

Derek The pigeon modern cars won't pollute this much over their entire lifetime

[@sambenedict7804]

[@3DSuperWaffle]
