      Yeah, stuff on that scale you really want to let the FD know about in advance (wasn't there a "What now?" "Call the police?" before they lit it?), they'd be happy to send a crew to watch/use it for training/keep you safe if you're a semi-reputable production studio. Although they might take issue with burning a car, that's ... really bad for the environment, in addition to the safety issues. Congrats on violating a bunch of federal laws, I guess?

    Tip if you are making this: get a metal drum (for big batches a 5 or 20 gallon sealable drum for example, for small tests a coffee or nut can with a TIGHT seal lid should work) and set it on a rolling rig (you can make one out of a few canned food cans and some metal or wood rods and 2x4s) use your hands (or attach a crank handle, if you have a small controllable motor you can power this but low speed control is a MUST) and SLOWLY spin the drum, it should mix the powder evenly, you want to hear a Little bit of it falling from the upward spinning side. Mix as long as you have time for before the experiment. Leave about 1 hr post-mixing before opening the drum, this will let the inside cloud fully precipitate onto the batch. The set up is very similar to a rock polishing set up, however do not use one of those as they spin at a speed Far too fast and would likely leak dust

    Waiting in anticipation for a DIY thermal lance how-to video.
    Attacking the hinge is somewhat pointless on decent safes with correct design. The locking mechanism actuates live bolts, however the are typically a set of dead/static bolts or a plate/bar behind the hinge that swings in behind the rebate/inner frame when the door is closed. These prevent the door from being pulled out when the hinge is removed provided the live bolts are engaged.

  • @cdgonepotatoes4219
    @cdgonepotatoes4219 Рік тому

    To extinguish a metal fire, the only best option is letting it burn out no matter the size. You'll use several times less water by using it to keep everything around cool and damp, making fire lines and waiting that it runs out of fuel, fire fighters use foam in electric car fires mostly to keep the road from melting and the rest of the potential fuel off-limits, the batteries will have to burn out entirely before the fire can peter out. The fire is too hot and it can't be choked, if it's small enough you can try and break it off so you separate the fire from some of the fuel and let it burn faster, but you risk spreading the fire around, if not lighting yourself on fire.

      any fire that can burn hot enough can melt steel beams.
      Fun Fact!: while jet fuel caused the fire to grow as large as it did on 9/11, the real heat came from the reems and reems of paper on the storage floors. paper catches at 480f, but once lit and with enough fuel can burn at almost 1500f. while not hot enough to "melt" the steel, it was far above the heat needed to soften even the most hardened industrial metal. a combination of the steel softening, along with the initial impact and the corners cut in the safety standards for the twin towers (single long steel supports instead of multiple interlaced supports that would take up more room and so give less office space) lead to the collapse we saw on 9/11
      source: i'm so fucking obsessed with 9/11. everything from the towers to the situation on the ground and the impact it has on us and global culture to this day
