This feels like the kind of thing that gets brought up as a minor plot point in a funny sci-fi story that's used at the climax when the protagonist remembers that there's thermite in the heater.
When it's introduced to the hero, someone says not to look at it
It's used as a Cheklov's flashbang in the finale
This is amazing because it is better storytelling then 90% of modern story telling and was made off a little creativity and a thermite hot dog cooker.
The protagonist is in a damaged ship deep in space. Federation ships have done enough damage to their ship to render its fusion reactor inoperable, completely cutting all power to the ship. The federation is closing in and are just about to capture the ship to transport it to their prisoner system. The protagonist is locked in the cockpit, the doors sealed shut without power. All they have in the room with them is a military ration kit and an emergency fusion battery, which just minutes ago amongst the fighting shattered after a rough impact, throwing glass everywhere and snapping the delicate electronics inside. This battery is the protagonist’s last hope. They plug it into the control panel’s circular intake slot but nothing-the fusion battery is too damaged to make a proper connection. Federation ships finally close the distance and are getting into position to latch onto the disabled craft. The protagonist paces around the room, eyeing the battery and the ration kit. Suddenly, a moment of inspiration strikes. They rip open the ration kit and rummage around, looking for something specific. They grip the single-use instant hot dog and yank it from the bag. They smash the hot dog against the console, spilling water onto the floor and sending the hot dog flying. They take a loose piece of metal from the console and yank it loose, using the sharp tip to undo the screws and seams at the base of the instant hot dog. The device is ripped open and thermite powder pours onto the protagonist’s hand. They shake out the rest and cup it in their palm and assemble it inside the fusion battery, coating two broken pieces of electronics inside the battery and pressing them together. The protagonist fishes the igniter from inside the instant hot dog and pinches it with their finger, striking the tiny sharp igniter against the thermite powder. A burst of light and a small fire immediately emerges, burning the protagonist’s fingers in the process, but they still hold the broken pieces together. The thermite burns brightly and disappears just as fast, welding the broken components back together. The protagonist then carefully grabs the fusion battery and slots it into the control panel, and the lights and readouts on the panel spring to life. The battery begins spinning and wobbling with instability, but the roar of the engines in the back of the ship emerges just before the Federation secures the ship. The protagonist immediately shoves the thruster’s lever forward and the ship zips off
@@tpd1864blakethis was a fun read thank you for that
Or a joke item a DM gives you in D&D that you end up using the thermite for an actual useful purpose.
“If you want to see a grilled version of this, let us know in the comments.”
Why, yes. Yes I would.
I mean if disposable vapes are a thing I can't see why you can't put a hotdog in a heated coil.
Obviously we want a grilled version what are we, poor?
Vote me in too.
Same
Seems like that would be too easy. Batteries and wire = grilled hotdog. Boiling with thermite is definitely crazier than that.
I love the dive into the engineering process. It's not just "how to boil water with thermite" it's "within these safety and efficiency parameters" and that's way more of an interesting journey.
makes you really appreciate the cooking device in modern MREs
The bomb squad threat did ruin the most interesting part though.

@@valkius4777 ?
If you want a fuse for lighting thermite, it's surprisingly easy. What worked for me was dissolving 20g of sugar and 20g of potassium nitrate in hot water, dripping that water over a paper towel, and letting it dry. I call this "fuse paper", and I've used it for over a year to light thermite mixtures.
Ah, yes. R-Candy or "rocket candy". A classic DIY pyrotechnic mix!
why do you have all that stuff considering your a tnt skeleton?
Late, granted, but I will keep this in mind. I've made plenty of R-Candy, and I do need a way to properly light thermite...

That fire most likely contained thermite and probably isn’t something you want to or can just dampen with a cloth to put out
fun fact: in Captain America: Civil War, a college teacher played by Jim Rash (of Community fame) approaches Tony Stark with the idea for a self-cooking hot dog with thermite "embedded in the meat shaft"
I was looking for this comment. That scene with Tony was the first thing that came to mind when I saw hotdog and thermite in the same sentence. 😂
A few decades ago, I worked at a small shop where one of the guys put two large nails through a piece of wood, then connected the stripped positive and negative ends of a standard electrical cord to each nail, then bridged the two nails with a hotdog before plugging the cord into a wall outlet. Yes, he was aware of how dangerous it was, but it was surprising at how well it worked. (They didn't have much of a break area and there was no microwave.)
A channel called Bigclive has a couple videos on the commercial equivalent of that
I mean, as long as you 1. don't touch it while plugged in and 2. don't blow the fuse, you should be fine..?
Not that I'd recommend this but there is probably less safe things you could be doing.
this is (kinda) how panko bread crumbs are made. they use electricity to cook the bread from the inside out
They made devices that did this in the late 50s and early 60s.
They aren't really dangerous provided the device is designed so the user could come in contact with the live 120v spikes the hot dogs are attached to. For whatever reason it seems that would curve the hot dog in these devices which led to the hot dogs often breaking. It seems they had a metal strip in the lid to complete the circuit as a safety. Other than setting off a smoke detector by burning up a hot dog the hot dog itself becomes the fuse so it's relatively safe but it seems youd be left with half charred electrocuted hot dog half the time. A cool gimmick but kind of overkill for a hot dog. Especially when you can grill hotdogs in your kitchen with a foreman grill now.
I recently saw a vintage German vending machine on YT that did exactly that, insert coin and 2 electrodes warmed up a hot dog, lol
I feel like this would just casually exist in the 50’s
This is taking what I Did a Thing did, but professionally done with well thought out processes and reasoning. Unlike what he did with the 'Glowstick Hotdog'

We're one step closer to the Cowboy Beebop instant ramen.
There are a few brands of instant hot pot and noodles that use a commercial flameless ration heater. Kind of expensive, and a lot slower (about 15 minutes to heat to boiling), but very cool and very safe. They're marketed for camping.
Termite Ramen for the win.
All you need to do is replace the hotdog with the noodles. They just made something that boils water very fast, the hotdog was just the particular thing they put in it
@@mind_onion not quite, you want to keep noodles dry until you cook them or your just going to have starchy water. Though yes the termite is just a way to heat up the water. One that is self contained and needs very specific energy to ignite.
@@lexiryka3550 If desired, mechanically separating the water and the noodles in a way that fails upon activation also seems pretty trivial. You'd just need to mechanically move some kind of barrier only very slightly. This seems not very difficult to implement, given the heating device, but I bet there are economic concerns that make the product nonviable. You'd need to somehow scam people into thinking that somehow the noodles are healthier prepared this way or something to justify the inflated price like they do with bottled water.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Phil Kessel would definitely be interested in helping you guys mass-manufacture this product.
Fun fact you’ve probably heard a billion times by now: the image that sparked this video was a submission for the first round of I Did a Thing’s viewer submission videos. He made a very different product that did work more like a glowstick, but was also doused in several poisonous chemicals while cooking.
I literally got so excited by the potential of this product that my heart skipped a beat.
What about replacing the water with oil? You'd have to make sure it doesn't splash and can let the steam out, but it should cook the hotdog at a temperature that would allow for the maillard reaction.
You want to eat a hotdog that's drenched with oil?
@@Jehty_ You know, it's true that I haven't tried a deep fried hotdog before, but I figure it wouldn't be that bad. Probably better than deep fried butter, and they already sell that at the fairway. I can't remember the last time I boiled my hot dogs. Not nearly as good as pan frying them or grilling them if the weather's good.
@@Jehty_ You don't?
@@Jehty_ if you use the oil used in deep fryers it actually pretty good. Assuming you wipe off the oil with a paper towel first, as to not soak your bun.

New watcher here-- I had no idea you were on nebula until just now, that service keeps on giving
You could extend its shelf life by freeze drying it and having the water in a separate watertight chamber that opens automatically to mix the water with the freeze-dried weenie when you push the cook button.
"cook button". "COOK". Not what I first read. Only one "c", and definitely two "o"s.
The best thing about this video is trying to figure out, where big companies would try to save money and how big the settlements would be
they would send cease and desist for it to not be on the market orrrr simply buy out the design
The protective wool preventing the thermite from splashing everywhere duh. People don't need their wooden desks, in fact let's set them on fire!
This channel always provides me with top-tier scientific chaos, and I have to say. I'm horribly addicted to it.
this looks like something that was made in ww2 for rations, but instead of using them for food, soldiers would just leave the heat seal on and have food grade grenades
Why havent I been recommended this channel even though I've been watching science YT-videos since 2013? Never too late to start though
13:33 Cool, you made a dual purpose hand grenade.
The heating device also looks like a stielhandgrenade (German ww2 grenade)

Which is surprisingly appropriate
So hey can be used to make yourself a nice dinner, order to save yourself from a pickle in an explosive manner

Just don't get them the wrong way around
_fire extinguisher, fire extinguisher, fire extinguisher_
Traditional summoning invocation used by explosive chemists for safety. I guarantee you, repeat that chant three times in a room with three explosive chemists and you'll have five extinguishers within sixty seconds.
The level of scientific rigor employed for this experiment is... inspiring.
