How do you use a fire extinguisher when it doesn't have a handle? Blow it up?

Tiniest Exploding Fire Extinguisher at 150,000FPS - The Slow Mo Guys
Genius chess move by the company, if you need high speed footage to test your product and it go's boom just send it to Gav and Dan and then watch their results ahah
I was thinking the same thing. This channel gets a video, and the company got free high speed footage. Can't imagine the glass vials cost too much to send.
Well combined Moses. May we call you Sherlock Holmes! ❤❤
Only to see Dan changing multiple variables at once 😂
Exactly what I thought
Good marketing too, everyone sees, it works.
Speaking of explosive safety devices, you should check out an AAD (automatic activation device) used in skydiving. A small computer tracks your altitude against your freefall speed and if you are traveling a certain speed beneath a certain altitude a small explosive device fires a cutter that cuts a line that releases your reserve parachute.
that's very interesting, thanks for sharing
Slow Mo sky dive!
That is cool. Thanks for providing the new thing I learned today.
Do you have to be on fire?
What about explosively partitioned seatbelts?
Have you guys ever thought about filming a welding arc? It's essentially an arc of electricity that has bits of metal traveling along with it. I've only ever seen illustrations and animations of it, but I don't believe anyone has ever managed to capture a welding arc that shows the blobs of metal in them or exactly what it's doing to the base metal in slow motion. Would be really educational, especially for those who are already working in the field.
The "blobs" of metal you speak of are actually ions I believe. You wouldn't be able to see them moving - it would just look like a bright light. That said the deposition on the target material would be very interesting.
@@meoshcam5930 nope.
Edit: So I was completely wrong. matthew phillips farther down this thread actually posted a video of exactly that, highly recommend it! I imagine it would be either extremely difficult or not possible for them to film that. The light from a welding arc is absolutely too bright and would overwhelm the camera sensor
@@ericeaton2386not necessarily there’s is filters and overall with the speed of the camera the brightness decrease
And how fast do you think a arc "moves"? Just around lightspeed, yes? Answers the question i think.
It completely went unnoticed but at 5:54 you can see the LED blink a few times as the electricity finds pathways through the debris before everything becomes too separated and the LED goes out for good. Fascinating!
Love that Dan says "10 minute mark" exactly 10 minutes into the video edit. Sneaky Gav.
And the fact that the list says ding at 10 minutes, which shows up on the screen at exactly 10 minutes.
wasnt expecting to see you here! 👍
@@Moondragon1821 ur right i missed it lol
Yoo, didn't think to see you here, love your portal content!
One thing that might be cool is DLP projectors that use colour wheels to create a full colour image from just a single colour laser, by passing the laser through a series of spinning wheel that filter or convert the light. They also often display onto something called a DMD, which is a tiny chip full of extremely tiny mirrors for every pixel that physically flip dozens of times for every frame, but that is probably extremely hard to film.
But the dmd would be so cool. Maybe film it with a macro lens.
Would be very cool to see in motion, but the feature size on the DMD is so small that you won't see any detail with a regular high speed camera. Last time I looked at a MEMS device that had a similar feature size to a DMD, I needed a scanning electron microscope to see anything in detail. Luckily, I had access to one. However, to my knowledge, there is no such thing as an SEM that can produce more than 2 frames per second, and the resolution is very poor at those speeds. Typically, an SEM takes 5 or so seconds to produce a single frame. A macro lens simply would not do the job, I don't think any visible light imaging device could do it, save for maybe some multi million dollar microscope in a lab somewhere.
You can't filter other colors out of a single color laser, and I'm not aware of any way of changing the wavelength of light without a bunch of arcane optics.
@@tyttuutI agree with you, you can’t change laser light colour easily
@@tyttuut The OP is incorrect in that DLP projectors use a bulb, not a laser, and only one spinning wheel. I've taken plenty of them apart in the past, to clean the optical path (particularly the colour wheel).
The sound design in these videos is insane. It's hard to remember sometimes that the phantom doesn't record the sounds
77 is my favorite number so instead of liking it I comment that I agree with you and i'd add that the ''slowing'' sound make an appearance in the KZhead rewind before they came in person in the one the next year and I find it really good
Yeah, Gav's sound design is always top notch.
Years of thinking the sounds was in slow motion ruined.
@@cryluneI don’t think Gav’s the one that does it, can’t remember who it is though
The fact that the timer hits 10 minutes right as Dan says it is editing perfection 👌👌👌
And in the ‘list of things we’ve heard of’ it says ‘ding sound at exactly 10 minutes’
@@oscarramage95🤯
I've always thought that up-close slow mo of metal being welded and the puddle of molten metal flowing around would be interesting.
it's often very very difficult to get a decent look because of just HOW bright it is, because it can ruin something as sensitive as the Phantoms. It really would be a balance of quality of shot and quality of content.
@Daniel Northway It would just have to be done through a welding helmet filter lens. Should look fine as long as you get the right dark/lightness.
@@d3north don't tell him how to live his life
@@d3north We can suggest the what. I'd leave it to the experts to ponder the how.
There is plenty of slow motion footage of welding already. But you can't really see all that much. The real trick would be to figure out how to shoot a cross sectional view to actually see what is happening in the welding area and not just at the surface.
You guys are genuinely the coolest youtube channel
nice
good
Fine
Nice
Nice
in a confined space, it works a treat, and cuts the power instantly. I hope these guys never run out of things to film in slow-mo.
I love how Gav highlighted a critical aspect of the scientific method. Thank you for striving to employ it. It legitimises the use of lab coats.
Dan: I don't like pushing triggers. Also Dan, used to be an explosives expert in the Army
I guess if you're pushing the trigger after the bang in EOD something's gone very wrong.
*_Also Dan:_* Has shot a gun many times for various videos over the years... 😏
Idk I feel like that makes it make MORE sense, not less...
and now he doesn't like pushing triggers.
I smell PTSD.
All this time, I had been searching for an EDC fire extinguisher. My calls have been answered!
Exactly why they sent it to them! Haha
@@HiddenWindshield k
Does EDC stand for explosive direct contact?
Throw them on the ground like a magician's smoke bombs
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture.3 okay
Gav's little editing touches are brilliant, no question that Dan's "10 minute mark" comment landing right on 10 mins (with the ding!) was intentional! HAHAHAHAH
I'm still really curious about seeing a continuous ink jet printer in super slow mo. Might be extremely difficult to capture the ink droplets on camera though but it would be cool to see.
Love that you guys don't do so many videos that they get stale, this is great
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Literally bot spam, comments all over everywhere.
nah i really would enjoy them to do like 2 vids a month at least !
I wouldn’t say they get stale but it definitely keeps the hype up for when they do post. They used to post a lot more often and it was never stale.
I think it’s just because the idea makes the video for them, instead of the video making the idea (and they aren’t in a rush).
@@saddlebag Also because they live different sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Crazy that at 5:54 the light flickers instead of just going off like before
I'm assuming that the conductive shell wobbled in and out of contact with the full circuit before completely coming apart?
@@LeonardMeltsner Or maybe the fluid is conductive.
It probably did that in the other shot but it just wasn't slow enough to see.
@@G-Forces i've checked solution used in this extinguisher is liquid called Novec (aka "waterless water") and CO2. Both are dielectric... duh! It would be very strange to use conductive liquids to put out fire in electronics.
@@LeonardMeltsner last blinks are happening, when shell is long (slowmo scale long) gone. And video isn't THAT much slower than first ones, where lights were just cut out. I'm intrigued by this flickering.
How about party poppers in slow mo?
I just wanna know what causes the bang sound in party poppers
@@brandonegan523 A party popper contain an explosive charge that produces compressed air in order to expel the streamers contained inside. The loud popping noise is the explosion going off. The explosive (typically Armstrong's mixture) is a highly sensitive friction-actuated explosive that detonates from the friction produced when you pull the string on the popper
Maybe have a look at those table saws that automatically retract the blade in contact with flesh, those are pretty fast too
sawstops yeah but arent they like one time use?
@@ivarsdredzels231 The cartridge is, but you can replace them pretty easily so they could get a few shots.
@@skylerlehmkuhl135 pretty easily? last time I heard they were around $3000 dollars to replace
@@branimirgacina4 Nonsense. Less than $100 plus the cost of the blade.
@@Perceptence or when you forgot you had it and go to cut a sheet of aluminum
That _Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson_ inspired joke at 7:58 was a *Monty Python's Flying Circus* reference I was not expecting, but which absolutely cracked me up. There is no doubt that The Slow-Mo Guys are men of true culture, no matter how many scientific variables they mess about with while filming.
I've got to say, because I think most people don't notice - the camera/editing work in real time parts is brilliant. Beautiful focus, bokeh, lighting, color grading. Good job!
I'm just imagining the company sent this to you because they didn't want to pay for their own slow-mo footage for product development purposes 😂
You may be right! Sneaky capitalists.
Thank you for still making my day after so many years!
@@DontReadMyProfilePicture.3 don't care 🤡
@@FLEXTORGAMINGERA Don't reply to bots. It makes the comment look more legit to the KZhead algorithm, and leaves a link to their page in your reply. Just report and move on.
I'd be curious to see what a phone vibrating looks like in slow motion. Like the vibrating that make it scoot across the table.
Did you see the one (during pandemic lock down) of who the apple watch spits out water? That was a just Gav but was pretty freaky/fun!
so glad you two are back togeather, major chemistry
Never a dull video with the slo mo camera. Really loved the one where you were falling in the water and took an hour, lol.
That was aweosme
I appreciate how much Dan has learned and how crucial it is to the channel. Good duo.
You guys are genuinely the coolest youtube channel. Always right to the thick of it, proper editing, and interesting as well as informative. Scholars of the Stagnant, I salute you both 🫡
Dan looks really good! Just was a nice glow from him in this video 😊
Love to see you guys still on the channel many years later
a handful of fire extinguishers seems like a deeply worrying thing to get in the mail with no context
I mean, if you're going to take that literally you need hands the size of Shaq to grasp just one in your hand, so I don't think "a handful of a fire extinguishers" will ever catch on as a unit of measurement
You guys should open a slow mo museum with all the props and damaged stuff you end up with.
In the... god i really don't know how many years... that i've been watching this channel, this is the first time that I've decided to watch it on a desktop instead of a mobile device. Nice to see it in genuine 2k
Have you guys ever filmed a Mantis Shrimp using it's knock out Punch? It's the fastest thing in Nature I think! That would be good to see in Slow Mo!
Destin on smarter every day has!
The fact you have time splitters 2 on your list just made me love you guys even more. Yes I read the list.
What a great game, think I still have a copy of it tucked away in a bin somewhere 😆
I know, the list was the best Easteregg, maybe I shall have to go get them a $2 bill and send it just for fun :)
I've always been curious about explosive bolts for separation in rockets and stuff. I would love to see them in action.
There are very large fuses used in substations and other power line systems that use an explosive to make the disconnection faster. Big Clive did a video on them a few years ago, they're a cool explosive safety device!
That focus pull at 7:38 was epic!
Epic AF (autofocus)
Thank you guys...always enjoy watching weird stuff happen in slow mo. I was clipping my fingernails while watching this and trying to avoid getting my own flesh...then a thought occured (I know, it happens). How about a series on mundane things like clipping the fingernails? Kinda curious to see the physics involved in flinging a fingernail bit near across a room. It's not anything high-tech, but it's low budget and relatable.
Similarly mundane: making a cup of tea or a bit more exciting: breaking a glow stick.
@Don't Read My Profile Picture You're no better than a spam bot account. Go away.
Don't worry we won't read your name or click on your profile.
@@Stephan-H oooh. breaking a glowstick would be neat!
I hope this video will save lives. This concept is incredibly simple. But not much know. And a cheap way to bring safety into possible fire sources.
9:36 "That's why people are subscribed. Look at this weird thing!" Yes that's exactly the reason! Never let the curiosity die! Love you guys.
The actual list of things that they’ve heard of scrolling past had me dying
I got a burger king add before being able to watch this video. I’m also on the toilet with diarrhea
Well the two do correlate, generally after you eat at the king you get your own throne to sit on.
just discovered you guys! Been binge watching and I have to say it's been so much fun watching you both age, which is amazing. There is nothing like corrugated card board shield duct taped to a ladder during a small explosion enhanced with a Hammed up ethanol fire. Good luck and carry on gentlemen!
I'm absolutely here for the aspect of this that's "look at this weird thing".
I have always been curious about what welding looks like in super slow mo. Either stick or MIG for lots of pretty sparks. I suggest a thick canvas draped over the phantom, molten steel and expensive cameras probably don't mix.
Sadly it isnt possible to record welding arcs, its just too bright they would need a phantom that could do light speed lol
ok
@@verakoo6187 Use a filter made of welding mask material, maybe; those can keep eyes safe and human eyes need LESS illumination than a phantom going at max speed. In addition, it's possible to configure a phantom to be surprisingly insensitive.
Fellow Dan, love your quick instinct to clear the lighter from the shot early on. Well done. 🤘🏻
Always love your videos, been watching for years.
Slimer Dan looks so cool. But equally funny and adorable.
Love the "Ding sound at exactly 10 mins" in the list at exactly 10:00!
The list at the end is a fascinating insight into Gav's mind 🤯Great video as ever!
Flash Bulb, the analog photography ones. They are magnesium wire filled bulbs, originally set off with a small explosive device contained within, the later versions used a 22v battery. it would be interesting to see if the magnesium wire set off all at once or followed the path of the wire and branched out! MrCAD in london has a a vast array of different types.
I think a close up Slow mo of an octopus changing colors would be amazing
Hey, I really appreciate you guys and the videos you make. Thank you for everything you do! Cheers!
Slow mo guys in 1000 years from now: A star going supernova at 150 septillion frames per second
I find it crazy that these 2 guys have been friends for so long making these videos together
The “List of Stuff” was a great addition
I am supprised of how many things the guys have heard of that I haven't. I think I've heard the word "exercise", but it really is a foregn concept.
Hello! Glad to see you guys are still uploading!
The line-up at 10:00 was PERFECT
Ding!
Always a good day when a new video comes out. I also love learning about these inventions most people don't know about and take for granted.
am happy to see the two of you together again filming, i am glad the undersea tunnel he was digging with a spoon and popsical sticks was completed
Love your Art! Keep it up Guys!
Not in terms of a safety device, but I'd love to see ya'll collaborate with one of the fine blacksmiths or makers to film metal working or lathework in high speed. Might be a little difficult to do safely for everyone involved though.
Thanks lads for making me smile. What a bright way to begin my day.
"Dan's right sleeve" got me going 🤣🤣
I remember several years ago, y’all done a slow mo video of a backdraft and it shows just how explosive and dangerous they are, but is not the only explosive threat firefighters face. That would be a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) and it would be interesting on how it occurs in slow motion (in a much smaller scale of course).
Cool video!! I didn't know little fire extinguishers like that exist. Thanks!!
You guys have gotten so old , it’s too much to think about all the time that has passed. Glad you guys are doing what you love
4:00 Once again, I love the continued low-budget vibe of the show. Nevermind that they're using some of the most expensive cameras that exist, they still aren't going to pay for a sunshade when they can just ducttape some old cardboard to a ladder. 😁
Slow mo is so satisfying....
Do a grenade again but so you can see the fragmentation this time
Really like you guys went back to the backyard style, just like the old days when you started off. Love it
There's another type of extinguisher that is like this. They're literally called Extinguisher Bombs. Some are like 5"-6" balls that will explode in the heat like this. They can be placed somewhere you want to have a fire extinguishing device ready, or thrown into the heart of a fire to help extinguish a localized flame. Maybe some of those? There's some on Amazon for like $30 I'm super curious what they look like in slow mo.
Dan saying going for the 10 minute mark at 10:00 is just perfect timing
the list also says: "Ding sound at exactly 10 mins" while there is a ding at the 10 minute mark
I watched all of your videos on this channel and all of your videos on your second, including all of planet slow mo and the super slow show and this is probably the one that made me happiest, teeny tiny explosions are fun
Nothing like watching a Slow Mo Guys video late at night before bed.
I would love to see some seriously slow motion footage using ballistic dummy labs torsos demonstrating various scenarios, gunshots, fireworks accidents, dry ice bombs etc...
Hey guys. Been following you for a while and really love the things you come up with. My suggestion will be something that you probably can’t acquire because of the cost, but it would be interesting to see the sequence of an ejection seat out of a jet airplane.
I agree that would be awesome! Only one slight problem is that planes are a tad expensive. Perhaps a collab with somebody who can make a scale model?
@@Name-qj9ql Would the entire plane be needed for the video though ?
@@psirvent8 I mean no, but at the same time do they make any plane seats that don't go into a plane?
@@Name-qj9ql Maybe they replace them periodically (Like fire extinguishers in buildings, or escape slides on airliners for instance), in that case it would simply be a matter of finding a discarded seat.
I love the difference in the coats. Dan has been through it all these years 😂
This channel feels like a 2015 summer! I love it
Wow what an idea! Nice to see you guys!
I was terrified seeing how easily the electrical tape got ignited... But then I remembered that you have ethanol there too 😅 I think the "fuse" functionality is for information that it pops, and not really used as fuse, that would carry any significant load, but I could be wrong.
The promotional material says that "The fire is detected at the origin and the fire is automatically extinguished. The power is permanently cut off to prevent re-ignition[...]" The tubes seem to have specific current limits (up to 16A), but nowhere does it say what happens if you exceed it or if you can use it as a regular fuse. Personally, I'm not sure if i want my over-current protection to release noxious gas when triggered, so having it in series with a regular fuse as a thermal fuse is probably the idea here.
Mind blowing how you guys managed to capture the sound of this element shattering under these slow-mo conditions! Best channel out there👌🏻
They don’t record sound in slomo it’s all designed after the fact
"Ding Sound at exactly 10 mins" !!! hahaha That was great! I actually heard it but didn't recognize it as a "device" but then i started actually reading your list and THERE IT WAS hahaha!! You guys are so cheeky!! I love it!!! Excellent video! I can not wait to see what the audience suggests 🙂
I feel like a great video would be snapping a rubber band onto someone's skin. You could see the ripples and reactions so clearly in slow mo. It sounds really fascinating. This is definitely not an attempt to get Dan snapped with a rubber band multiple times.
0:19 what do you mean by small bro? Its average.
There's a lot of things that would be interesting to see in slomo from a fighter aircraft ejection sequence/ejection seat. Those seats are crazy Rube Goldberg contraptions. Amazing.
I’m so glad this came on my suggested vids. This brought back so many childhood memories 😊
The oil industry frequently uses explosives to snuff out oil well fires. Might be a fun video to do a smaller scale version - like using a gas nozzle and a small explosive, like a firecracker. Would be especially fun if you could partner with an actual explosives expert to do a bigger example!
Dan is an actual explosives expert.
