What's up guys?! Thumbs up for explosive science. I'm not suggesting this is something you should try, but if you do it anyway, make sure you use EXTREME caution, and be prepared for the police to show up. Ask me how I know that! ;)
Thing I love about you grant, is that you always make your content family friendly, no cursing, no rude words, no double meanings, you just make good quality videos, and you do it right
John Sibok Indeed. I know almost all of them, and 98% are unbelievably supportive. The other 2% are the reason for the title. haha. But saying that, I try to save the loud bangs for the holidays when it's not so much of a shock to the neighborhood.
Baltazar Almaraz A very long time ago on a lovely New Years night after going through all our fireworks we wanted something with a real BANG... So one of the drunks decided to fill a trash bag with fuel from a welding torch. Then once it was about half full they tied it, and trailed lighter fluid to it. I stood at the door of their house, maybe 20 feet away, and I got knocked back almost. Their family photos had all fallen and we even knocked out power for a few minutes... Me and my Dad left and right when we were leaving the police were showing up.
Tevin Rice Oh yeah. Oxy/acetylene is way explosive. In high school our shop teacher was a bit of a pyro... He filled a bicycle tire with it and set it off with a piece of fuse. From 50 feet my ears were ringing. He blew up a charged car battery by shorting it out using a long cord tied to a wrench. My ears rang then too! Both are very very dangerous and should not be attempted as serious injury or blindness could ocurr.
Grant Thompson, I will never, ever tire of your shenanigans. Man... if only I could come out there for a few days, just imagine the shenanigans we could get up to.... Just imagine.
According to another video, most of the neighbours are cool with him. They come to see what's going on when they hear noises. Except the neighbors behind them. They've called the police several times without bothering to check what's going on.
Kaplex Mania my son said the wubble bubble commercials are offensive to children. i watched one, and i completely agree. im not going to buy one anytime soon.

Ryan Smith I see you figured it out but just in case you are interested: www.justislam.co.uk/product.php?products_id=2 - explained very well, especially for people in US.
I love that this fuel is environment friendly!(Compared to normal fuels we use in cars) Now I can just blow as many baloons as I want and I dont have to feel bad about it!
I actually had an idea for using hydrogen to make balloons so i won't have to like, buy helium which is getting more and more rare thus getting more expensive. Though, I wasn't gonna use them to blow up, I was actually gonna use them to make one of those really high altitude balloons with cameras to send up into the sky near space! Feel free to use this idea, I just wanna say thanks for making these videos :D
Mackan90096 I just doubled-checked. It's working, just scroll down to the bottom of the page when you click over. Or check your browser settings to make sure it can open in a new window.
i bet when he did this his neighbors were thinking, "well grants up to his crap again." lol kinda want to make this so i can freak out the nosy neighbors next door
hey Grant, one day I was walking home and I was thinking about the metal foundry and I thought about what would happen if you tried to melt down glass pieces. would it just melt down and you can pour it in a mold or would something bad happen?
About the dangers: A professor of mine loved them. He build them using a yarn that he nitrated (thus converting cellulose into nitrocellulose) which worked as a fuse that still looked inconspicuous. he used them to wake up students from time to time. Once set on fire they wre flying up and exploded close to the high ceiling. One of them however came too close and blew up the neon tube above our heads! His sole reply was Oooops!
Hey Grant love the video. You shouldn't cut fuse with scissors though, the friction can cause it to ignite. You should cut it with a knife or razor blade instead.
Breathing straight hydrogen (assuming its heat doesn't prevent you...) will kill you! If not? Have a bucket to puke in handy cuz ur gonna need it. Baaaad idea.
Little tip for you: super glue a small piece of incense stick to a small piece of fuse and voila! time delay fuse. You can use a lot less fuse and adjust the time easily by using longer incense 😉
slimeball You might as well use an electric car. I wouldn't think that using the electricity to make gas to power te car would be for effective than just using the electricity to power the car.
Jason Schuler Do you have data suggesting this, or are you just speculating as well. If you do have some supporting data, I would be intrigued to see it.
I did it went 2metres I used a ballon powered car from another vid and replaced it with this I do about everything Grant does. What do you expect it is very fun
thanks! we made plastic bottle bombs with dry ice and the neighbors definitely called el policia, they must have thought a war was going on. We put them in big 55 gal barrels too which made the reverb even louder :)
Ehhh.... If you're going to do this, make sure your hydrogen and oxygen are separated, rather than perfectly mixed to explode. You can easily do this by taking the positive terminal of your HHO generator and allowing it to be connected via a salt water bridge to the negative terminal rather than jamming them close together. The oxygen vents to the atmosphere, and the hydrogen is easily collected near the positive terminal.
Hi this my son, " Hey I personally love your videos they inspire me so much to make things and try out as many of yours as possible. Wish we could meet in person :( :). Can't wait for the next video and love the sky blaster slingshot and laser blowgun"
hey grant!..i'm a big fan of your channel.i'm just wondering,if you tie a dozen of those explosive balloons together and light one of them,will it be enough to set off all of the other explosive balloons?
The explosion from this is more destructive and powerful than a pure hydrogen balloon. When you watch a hydrogen balloon explode in slow motion, can you see the flame wave travel across the gas relatively slowly, because the hydrogen has to wait until the oxygen in the outside air mixes with it before it will burn. These HydrOxy balloons don't need to wait for that outside air to mix in though, thus they don't slowly "burn", they DETONATE. Here's why: It's because the hydrogen/oxygen mix inside the balloon is already mixed in the perfect ratio to burn, it doesn't need to mix with air at all. When it burns it's just turning back into the same water it was originally made from, so it already contains the perfect ratio of elements to do that and doesn't need anything extra. Thus when you light it there's almost no delay in the flame front. The flame wave can propagate through the mix as fast (or even faster) as the speed of sound itself. This is why the noise produced is so incredibly loud, when one side of the gas starts to burn, it starts to make a noise, and this noise is traveling at the speed of sound (it hasn't yet reached your ears). But the wave of flame itself travels as fast (if not faster) than that sound does. So as the sound is slowly travelling to the other side of the balloon, the wave of flame is right there with it, making new sounds the entire time. Because all of those sounds travel at the same speed, they have all stacked up together as a very big single wave of sound which hits your ears all at once. IIRC in physics this is called a "DETONATION", and it's why gunpowder is more dangerous than a block of slow-burning wood. It's just a question of how fast it burns. Detonations are just incredibly powerful sound-waves, they are so powerful than they can propel a bullet, or a tank shell, or (if close enough) rip your body apart merely from the soundwave itself. (note: in general, explosive weapons are surrounded with metal which splinters into shrapnel, and it's these shards of shrapnel which are much more lethal than the explosion itself.)
fun fact - no matter how much you electrolyze the water, there is still a chance one molecule of water will be left. this is because it is physically impossible for an oxygen molecule to be alone, this is because all oxygen atoms were made fun of when they were kids, and need other atoms to talk about it to.
Hey Grant! I'm 14 years old and your videos always make me feel like a scientist lol. The first thing that I learned from you was how to make the assassin's crossbow, it is awesome! I only have one question for you. Where do you buy that green fuse? Like the one in the video, and on fireworks? It would be great if you could get back to me THANKS.
You know, your generator works better than any other I have ever seen. Not sure why your system works so much better than everyone else. I should go back to that video and see if I can spot why.
Great video man I have been using hho gas for sound props for paintball for a while. Where do you get your wicks from I find the potassium nitrate wicks are too slow... Any suggestions?
Like the Hindenburg.

Oh wow. Don't dare try that! I fear I would get a darwin award within 30 seconds. great experiment though. Really cool. Thumbs up!
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" you need to try this with a 6ft balloon like if you agree

I spent last weekend filling balloons with propane gas. One went off next to my hand and now I have a 2nd degree burn on my finger, OUCH!
You managed to recreate an enemy concept from a childhood video game I loved.
"you want me to explode?"
"YESSSS, THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR"
"um, ok I'll try"
When he said a 'sponge bomb' did anyone else think of that episode when squidward thought spongebob ate the cherry bomb pie?
Yes
Wow. Whenever I check out this channel I am NEVER disappointed. This is so awesome!
Your neighbors have probably just learned to live with this.
According to another video, most of the neighbours are cool with him. They come to see what's going on when they hear noises.
Except the neighbors behind them. They've called the police several times without bothering to check what's going on.
Elizabeth Berenguer "QC73 SPONGEBOB HYDROXYPANTS" its his last video
2:51 he waved goodbye lol
Yay! Now I can bring these to the hospital!
2:55 he said “hi”
I'll cry. R.I.P Grant
"BOOOOOM
neighbour: what was that explosion
other neighbour: oh no its fine that's just grant
Love your videos Grant! Thought it was funny how it looks like Sponge Bob is waving before his demise!
dude do this with a wubble bubble D=
Yyyeeeeeeessssas this needs to be done!!
Kaplex Mania seems like a neat idea :)
You sir... Are brilliant

On how many government watch lists are you by now?!
let them loose at night with the longer fuse lit. The lot of them. That's what i call Magic

you should do this but fill up a punching balloon till its really tight then attach a fuse to it and let it blow up!! love your vids
why did u kill spongebob square pants
Why not?
+MPMD Bandelin cuz he sooooooo anoing
He ate that pie bomb
Because he ate that pie!
Cuz he is too.... Spongy
Alright, make a small scale Hindenburg blimp and pop it
Sponge bob be like "Alah krusty krabbar" 💥💥🔥

Hey Grant love the video. You shouldn't cut fuse with scissors though, the friction can cause it to ignite. You should cut it with a knife or razor blade instead.
What will happen if i fill someone's lungs with this gas and then shock him with electricity?
spongebomb
You'd probably be arrested.
KubissusPL The police will show up and you'll end up in jail.
Breathing straight hydrogen (assuming its heat doesn't prevent you...) will kill you! If not? Have a bucket to puke in handy cuz ur gonna need it.
Baaaad idea.
Jon Mallary
Ok it won't kill you unless it asphyxiates you...but you will barf.
Little tip for you: super glue a small piece of incense stick to a small piece of fuse and voila! time delay fuse. You can use a lot less fuse and adjust the time easily by using longer incense 😉
I was expecting police :(
Hey Grant... Pipe the O2 H2 gas through a tub of water with detergent and make floating exploding bubbles!
Someone please make a car that runs on this please
slimeball They have created that car, and you can probably purchase it but it is not very cost effective.
slimeball You might as well use an electric car. I wouldn't think that using the electricity to make gas to power te car would be for effective than just using the electricity to power the car.
Dylanica You'd be surprised...
Jason Schuler Do you have data suggesting this, or are you just speculating as well. If you do have some supporting data, I would be intrigued to see it.
I did it went 2metres I used a ballon powered car from another vid and replaced it with this I do about everything Grant does. What do you expect it is very fun
thanks!
we made plastic bottle bombs with dry ice and the neighbors definitely called el policia, they must have thought a war was going on. We put them in big 55 gal barrels too which made the reverb even louder :)
I dare someone to try that in the hood XDDD
1:27 "So to reduce the risk of blowing ourselves up" thx u care
1st comment
F u
The perfect way to distract zombies during the apocalypse!
What if I pump my insides with this gas and put a fire in my mouth?
Awesome video Grant! Just wondering if salt is needed to add conductivity to the water?
I never knew it would shake the windows that's cool😮
Extra large baloons? Check.
Water>Fuel generator? Check.
Glitter? Check.
fuses? Check.
Time to make some literal glitter bombs.
you should release loads of them into the sky and light the fuses xD
FLYING EXPLOSIONS!
Ehhh....
If you're going to do this, make sure your hydrogen and oxygen are separated, rather than perfectly mixed to explode. You can easily do this by taking the positive terminal of your HHO generator and allowing it to be connected via a salt water bridge to the negative terminal rather than jamming them close together.
The oxygen vents to the atmosphere, and the hydrogen is easily collected near the positive terminal.

I'M SO SORRY SPONGE BOMB I NEVER CALLED YOU ANNOYING EVER PLEASE SPARE ME
hey grant!..i'm a big fan of your channel.i'm just wondering,if you tie a dozen of those explosive balloons together and light one of them,will it be enough to set off all of the other explosive balloons?
This is another awesome experiment!!!!
Thank yoy
"And makes a very satisfying bang that sounds like a gunshot." My reacion: So that's why it's has How To Meet A Police Officer in the title.
Very good spiral cell lead acid batteries.
You should use the fuse as the string to hold the balloon. As u light it it will float away and burst in middair.
I watched all of your videos and I like them all

You need to get together with The Slow Mo Guys and have them record/play back those explosions in slow motion.

Thanks for the laughs, Stephen.
ive been trying forever to make an efficient HHO generator, would it be possible to buy a kit so i could make a powerful one like yours?
You uploaded this on my birthday:)
How long does it take to fill up? Would this method be suitable for filling weather balloons?
Omg yes
Great video man I have been using hho gas for sound props for paintball for a while. Where do you get your wicks from I find the potassium nitrate wicks are too slow... Any suggestions?
This is soo cool! What if you fill a weather ballon!?
4th of july just got a lot more interesting !!!
I'm now on a watchlist
