I actually thought the clip @11:26 was a snip from a movie you were going to compare to 😂 nice work! The backyard shots with the greasy burlap were my favorite. The smoke trail and the burst of flame when it hit the target were 👌🏼
So happy to see you grow as a YT channel and that you still experiment with wild and visually interesting ideas! I've been watching and will keep watching your career with great interest, keep em' comin!!
Literally yesterday I heard someone say that fire arrows weren't a real thing cause they'd go out when you fire them. I'm so glad made this so I cann prove him wrong! Lol
Petroleum jelly soaked denim? Heat up the petroleum jelly and it will soak into whatever material you use. I use cotton balls soaked in it for my fire starter kits.
add a fuse just like those birthday candles, you can use wax and animal fat. if you want to save the arrow shaft you can try wrapping top few inches in foil or dip them in Alum - potassium aluminum sulfate, it would stop it from catching in fire.
@GingerGigantus tried that! Had the same idea. Turns out petroleum jelly isn't that flammable? It just melted and dripped off the fiberglass. Not sure why the cotton balls work!
The funniest thing ever will always be the night arrows in Timeline, where they just fire arrows that aren't on fire as some genius night attack trick.
Shadiversity should test what you have developed here. Shad and Tyranth are skilled with 100-pound long bows, and have previously tested fire arrows. Their method involved a very complex fuel (which they didn't mention the name of or what ingredients are used for legal reasons) and a 3D printed piece to redirect air around the fuel containing cloth. The reason for this shield is because flames don't typically like fast moving air, they prefer slow air. They found that sometimes it would fly with the 100 pound bows (though they can't go full draw for obvious reasons) lit, but barely, but most of the time it would just be a few embers in the cloth that would then reignite the cloth after it lands. They also found that they wouldn't work unless they were partially burned before flying. I'm curious how what you developed would hold up on the 100-pound long bows.
As greasefires are notorious for making a huge fireblast when you try to extinguish them with water, it would be intersting to see, if the grease arrow has the same potential when it is being shot into a bucket of water, pond, or whatever body of water is at hand.
Tru a solod fuel, like wax, INSIDE the "cage", wrap it with cloth, and then soak that cloth in "pitch", the liquid pitch is flamable, and will hopefully be enough to melt the wax some, and catch it alight, while the cloth holds it in place.
Wondering if fire spinning/juggling etc could have some useful clues. I think it's a kevlar wick and paraffin, then you let the flame burn for a bit before using, it usually lasts for ages and obviously gets a lot of air/spinning
What if you mixed the grease with another fuel (like lighter fluid) to help with the ignition and make it so that you don't have to use a blow torch to ignite it?
The burlap torch after pouring tiki torch fuel over it thoroughly (not quite soaking it) would burn until the fuel ran out after 10-15 minutes. Still had about half the burlap thickness left.
I did try it once with about 6 arrows but by the time I fired it they had been burning too long and the heads flew off the shafts when fired lol. Plus the air from the cannon blew out the flames!
@@TylerBellMakes Ahaaa I knew I wouldn't be the first to have this idea! But these seem like interesting engineering challenges I know you could solve, if that's a project you want to invest time and energy in! Be it that or anything else I'll keep a gleeful eye on your progress, love your creativity and energy my dude!
Wire wool mixed in with the cloth will burn hotter with the increased wind when the flame blows out, then re-ignite the fuel when it lands. No idea how it would look to the camera.

I'd be curious to see if you could replicate the dragons breath effect practically in case your unfamiliar watch the "Dragons Breath" scene from John Wick 4.
Lindybeige has a very good video on this simply titled "Fire-arrows!". Generally speaking Flaming arrows look cool in movies but are really not practical and historically are not used. That being said, this is a super cool video that covers on special effects side of things.
I have files for the arrow heads and the pop up arrow rig from my last video available on my Patreon!

Will you reply
@Exingx-s5l yes
Next up dicyanoacetylene! 🎉
Thumbs up for your safety advice!
There's a fine line between prop fire and straight-up napalm.
The sparkles, the smoke going out once you shoot it, it's magnificent.
The torch noises at 1:07 are just peak

Love how you took the flat stok and made the basket!
11:24 the squeaks are hilarious lol
Cool! 3:40 - That's an accident waiting to happen 😬
The slowmo impact fire looks so crisp
"am I on fire" excellent homage in the moment!
So happy to see you grow as a YT channel and that you still experiment with wild and visually interesting ideas! I've been watching and will keep watching your career with great interest, keep em' comin!!
@6:03 tried making fire arrows and went straight to bomb arrows. Now you have to make ice arrows to complete the Zelda triforce of arrows.
Those basket heads are so beautiful. Really impressive craftsmanship
Awesome, nice work!
commenting to help this great channel
Precision computer-designed laser-cut.... _medieval_ flaming arrowheads. Nice! 😎
you deserve at least a million subs!
I am surprised the environment didn't catch fire! If it did, that would be devastating! Great video btw.
@6:12 I'm so glad I got to see that. Whoa!
Amazing as always!
quality of your videos are getting better and better. Keep it up!
Great stuff! I figure you could also pre-soak the burlap before you even wrap it so you can have total penetration through the whole wad.
Literally yesterday I heard someone say that fire arrows weren't a real thing cause they'd go out when you fire them.
I'm so glad made this so I cann prove him wrong! Lol
That's awesome
very cool! keep up man!
this channel slaps
This was surprisingly satisfying. Flaming trebuchets next, perhaps?
Thanks! This is going to come in handy when the apocalypse starts!
Nice knife, morakniv's are awesome
If you have experience with other fuels and methods, put 'em here! 👇🏻
Sometimes my car stops and I have to put fuel in it

i imagine if you were able to get a piece of charcoal into the basket that would work well
Nice video Tyler, glad ya kept trying!
Day 3 of suggesting a collab with The King of Random.
Loving the flaming arrow series
I always laugh when I see actors holding the torch to light up their face instead of seeing where they are walking
Car flips and different ways of real car explosions are the way to go :-) I'm looking foreward.
The funniest thing ever will always be the night arrows in Timeline, where they just fire arrows that aren't on fire as some genius night attack trick.
This one had me laughing out loud :)
forget 'reusable' - in a battle, you only get one shot! Thing works well enough I say, good job!
Funny physics demonstration how the burning liquid fuel stays in place as the arrow gets shot until airflow pulls it along a bit.

Looks awesome
Thumbnail is a perfectly reasonable reaction
love the last 5 frames, are u okay?
So that's where all those glowing orbs people have been seeing in the sky are coming from...
Tru a solod fuel, like wax, INSIDE the "cage", wrap it with cloth, and then soak that cloth in "pitch", the liquid pitch is flamable, and will hopefully be enough to melt the wax some, and catch it alight, while the cloth holds it in place.
Bacon greese or pard could also work, heck maybe any liquid fuel would work instead of pitch, it just has to burn hot enough to defilgrate the wax.
*lard
Bacon grease: your arrows must smell delicious!
Funny enough recently fellow youtuber AVE had a run-in with flaming bacon grease too🤣
Wondering if fire spinning/juggling etc could have some useful clues. I think it's a kevlar wick and paraffin, then you let the flame burn for a bit before using, it usually lasts for ages and obviously gets a lot of air/spinning
Probably (in stark contrast to my usual sensibilities) I would close such a video with:
"...'till next time, stay lit."
You should do a few collaborations to increase your subs, your channel is underrated
So kind of you to cauterize my wounds. lol
@11:25 Is that the sound of Spongebob's shoes??
nice video, maybe test if it actually ignits something
Fire+arrows=good
What if you mixed the grease with another fuel (like lighter fluid) to help with the ignition and make it so that you don't have to use a blow torch to ignite it?
Wow ur so funny at 1:21 😂😂😂
How long would that specofoc torch you made last if left burning continuously?
The burlap torch after pouring tiki torch fuel over it thoroughly (not quite soaking it) would burn until the fuel ran out after 10-15 minutes. Still had about half the burlap thickness left.
4:35 what?! man have i been out of the loop
Knowing about black powder and black powder substitutes, I saw that coming a mile away…
Arrows were made with pitch and sinew, back in medieval times.
the next natural step is to combine your Sunblock Cannons with these flaming arrows!
I did try it once with about 6 arrows but by the time I fired it they had been burning too long and the heads flew off the shafts when fired lol. Plus the air from the cannon blew out the flames!

What's the name of the track in the final result chapter?
Where can I get a bow like that?
You reind me soooo much of Young Sheldon. Love your stuff
good excuse to make alot of bacon lol!
Did I miss how you made sure not to set the grass on fire 😅??
Anyone tell me where the footage is from with the flaming trebuchet?????????????? What were they doing??????? I NEED ANSWERS PEOPLE!!! pls
I'd be curious to see if you could replicate the dragons breath effect practically in case your unfamiliar watch the "Dragons Breath" scene from John Wick 4.
👍👍👍
That was an abrupt ending
Updoot for almost shooting yourself at the end!

How many pounds of bacon did you eat for this video? Lol
Bro used car oil works just fine.
You Just shot fire at the trees😭
Tyler bell is based?
I made a fire arrow once in highschool, it was poop
Urm
Just light an arrow
Is he dead?💀
First?
