Interesting fact about the Trident Ingot Radioactive Heater, the engineers designed it to serve duel purposes, not only can it heat your ration meal but the geometry allows it to be used as a suppository internal core temperature regulator through the brutal Scottish winter
Yes, and also have another use. You can throw it in front of Your enemy and when they step on it, the ingot works like a land mine but with radioactive effects.

@patrick howard no, whiskey is Irish and American, whisky is all others. The origin of the spirit is what matters, not the origin of the person. It's a common misconception though. But yeah, scotch is never ever called whiskey correctly. Always whisky.
@@chaschuky999 He's 100% right, though. Whiskey is spirit distilled in Ireland/America. If it's distilled anywhere else, you drop the E. It's literally required by law.

Clive, I found someone’s discarded e-cig in a parking garage this afternoon and did what needed to be done. Naturally, that being to take it home and dismantle it. Inside it’s extruded aluminum housing, it had the same circuitry as the one you most recently featured, with that same “microphone” type switch and a 280 mAh rechargeable lithium cell. The juice chamber was two pieces of batting (similar to the material in a zippo lighter) between silicone seals, with the heating coil connected to leads that passed through the lower seal. The mouthpiece and upper seal were so easy to remove that literally all it would take to make it completely reusable is a way to recharge the battery, and yet it’s a disposable item. It’s crazy both how wasteful the e-cig industry seems to be, and how efficient they are in terms of a BoM. All in all there were maybe 15 discrete pieces, with the majority of those being for the liquid reservoir and heating coil. Edit: Here’s the link to the manufacturer’s product page for the device I disassembled: pixxipods.com/products/3-pack-georgia-peach-iced
That's because it IS a reusable item, in what was a standard form-factor/threading, just without the charger. Probably an 808 type, like the Vapor4Life models: www.vapor4life.com/batteries/new-titan-ecig-battery/ Possibly a 510, but either way, it's a case of not reinventing the wheel and just providing the bare minimum number of already mass-manufactured parts in a package. Keep in mind that you'd also have to get more juice for the thing, either through buying additional cartridges from a company like V4L or by attempting to refill the existing cartridges (not typically with great success on the thinner "cigalike" models like the 808).
I won a batch of 30 or so disposable ecigs in an auction for about £1.50.. Only inside the multipack, on the individual packages, was there an expiry date of a couple of years ago. So the batteries on the couple I tested were flat. I'm still trying to come up with a less distructive way of getting them apart and recharging them..
gmofftarki Not even close my dude. It was a peach flavored Pixxi pod, which are specifically advertised as disposable. At ~$7 each, it’s absolutely mind boggling how cheap the materials must be to have any sort of profit margin at that price point. Under the black plastic mouthpiece was the upper silicone seal for the juice chamber which had two pieces of batting to absorb the juice (similar to a zippo lighter). All someone would need to do to refill it is pop the top off and add some juice, at which point the inability to recharge the battery is what would kill the device. pixxipods.com/products/3-pack-georgia-peach-iced
@@mrb692 Ah, I was just basing it off of the ecig in the video, assuming that the one you found was similar. I know nothing about the Pixxi, or indeed any of the pod systems, since I'd moved on to refillable alternatives long before any of those became popular.
Thanks for this, I 100 percent just scoured the internet for one of those ration heaters to incorporate into my water system to keep it from freezing in the winter. Hook, line, sinker.
I've been in Scotland a few times and was ROFLMAO the whole way, an MRE composed of pot noodles and candy and a pint of whiskey. LOL, like every stereotype in a rubber bag.
Usual MRE: Some meal to heat up in a bag, maybe something in a can, instant coffee Scottish MRE: CHOCOLATE, POT NOODLES, IRN BRU, WHISKY, VAPE AND RADIATION
Damn you, Clive! I watched this immediately when it was published, so there were no comments yet. A couple of days prior, my Scottish horticulture teacher had just been telling me about the rations of booze he used to get as an enlisted man so the booze did not throw me off at all. High-calorie & sugary treats, well sure why not. But the nuke heater blew my mind! Was so wowed that I though 'I must have one of these'. After much unsuccessful searching for such a thing, and no luck finding an MRE by the same name, I came back here to see if anyone else had some clues in the comments and...the rest is history! You are awesome good sir! Damn, you!
Hah I didn't know for sure that it was fake but was suspicious that I hadn't heard of this application, the use of plutonium decay as a heat source and to produce power through the thermoelectric effect is very common in unmanned space probes (The ability to produce power for literally decades plus the very high energy per unit mass being key here). But then I also know that even though the RTG's are relatively inefficient these devices do have on the order of kilograms of plutonium even in a relatively small probe so this did seem odd guess that is the benefit of working on having a broad base of knowledge lot harder for someone to sell you some psudoscience that doesn't at least make you think "Doubt, lets see if this really is the case".
@@johnnydugas1970 No, no, no, definitely not a gag, absolutely dead serious, just ask any Scotsman. The rare Irish military ration for officers is very nearly identical, but they also have the Tato crisps. Irish whisky or for the lower ranks, (NCOs) freeze dried Guinness.
Being a Canadian of Irish and Scottish decent who was in the Canadian army in the early to mid 90s i can confirm we like Whiskey. My regiment drink was sadly a vodka based drink called the drop zone which is 1 oz vodka 1oz 7up and as much Tabasco sauce as you want. 5 drops took away the taste of alcohol and the heat of the Tabasco which is very dangerous

@@bigclivedotcom i.ibb.co/7tL8sW7/image.png What actually is in that bag? I'm wondering as it's in a sealed component bag, surely it must actually be something?
Having been in the Scottish Army I can confirm the contents are correct. I used to have the sniper version, the items were the same except for the whiskey which was a one litre bottle.
It's almost plausible. Field rations do contain high calorie foods. But it would not be stuff you could buy from your local store! Also, it can have chocolate, but the rest would be tinned meat, nuts, dried fruit, and such like. Definitely no alcohol or nuclear heaters!
@@Nilsy1975 So, depending on country, quite a lot of MRE's and rations do actually contain some name brand items you can buy, for instance the majority of Canadian's are prepared by Baxter's, which you can buy a lot of their products in the UK. Also, Yorkie's used to be in UK 24 hour Ration packs, however instead of the 'Not for girls' slogan, it was replaced with 'Not for civvies'. Also, from watching far too much Steve1989MREinfo, there was actually an Italian 24 ration which did come with a shot of alcohol as a morale boost, however that is the only example I'm aware of.
@@fghhjkd I did a training exercise with field rations. I wasn't disputing that. I was going from the naval rations package. It definitely did not have nuclear heaters or pot nuddles! It was dried nuts, seeds, and fruits. Some jurking and sauce. Also water sterilisation. We had to live on it for 36 hours. There definitely wasn't any alcohol or nuclear power.

Can't believe it took me so long to find this... what an amazingly convincing 18 mins of creative writing The nuclear rod actually sitting in the pot noodle was too much 🤣
One of the guys from BD came to one of Clive's meets and brought some stuff. He also has a bag of dicks somewhere (mini replicas of BD's other products).
That ration pack is almost exactly the same (minus the radioactive heater) as a Scottish Groundworker's standard breakfast! Unfortunately, I'm not joking!
visitor at the mre production plant:so i was thinking we could use a chemical heater instead of the radioactive rod to heat the food. mre prduction plant leader: WOT!? YOU 'INNA CLAB DRIC BACCLE WA' HOOKIN 'INNYA LADDY?!? Visitor: What did he say? British guy acting as translator: he said no.
As well as the inclusion of the "mini nuclear reactor" giving the game away, the grey "Tardis" ration bag, which would be defying the laws of physics by having to be larger on the inside than the outside to contain all that stuff in it in the first place. XD
You had me right up to the plutonium heater part. If the neutron absorption rod was actually cooling it down, then you would be having a chain reaction in the plutonium, and not having a very good day. The plutonium thermal generators use a non-fissionable isotope and you're just getting radioactive decay as their energy output, not a chain reaction. Leaving that aside, I thought "grog" always meant run+lime juice for scurvy prevention. I'm also surprised that "spork" have made it's way into the British lexicon. As your penance, I think you should go down to the Mclheny Brothers operation on Avery Island, Louisiana, and participate in the mash tasting after the oak cask aging and before bottling. Yes, I think that would be very appropriate, indeed.
Grog was the nickname sailors gave to the diluted rum that a certain "Captain Grog" forced on the navy instead of their straight rum rations. I dare say a modern 37.5% rum is actually just as weak. It makes sense when cargo is limited on a ship to have pure 90%+ rum.
@@VolkerHett I'm not so sure. I found old patents for fractionating column and reflux stills from that era. It makes sense to ship spirits as pure as possible to take up less space. Similarly the beer on ships (which would be drank instead of potable water) had to be strong enough to not go bad, hence IPA, etc.
I suppose with extremely careful design you could have a nuclear device that was critical when cool but when heated it expanded such that it ceased to be critical.
@@rfunk727 - I used to ship hazmat internationally at my last workplace, and as long as you have your paperwork and packaging in order, shipping radioactive materials isn't terribly difficult. Yes, you can guarantee it will be inspected by customs, but as long as you follow IATA rules they won't give you any trouble. Don't forget, businesses and universities send small amounts of radioactive materials around all the time. Often as part of detection systems for manufacturing and analysis.
Had me going for a while, I looked up the girder, apparently it's supposed to contain ginger beer too. Going to have to try both versions and report back on my experience on both...
I don't think you can ship it internationally. You can try, but maybe the SWAT will knock both on yours, and the addressee's door with a battering ram... :) I'm pretty sure sending radioactive items is quite forbidden with any postal service. They may not check the packages domestically, but at customs offices they probably do.

Wait, this cant be real - BLENDED SCOTCH!! The official MRE would use Single Malt.
Single Malt is for officers only.

I thought the same thing, then that maybe Big Clive had messed up the upload date or something. Fanny Flambeaux my arse!
The Yorkie in our old rations actually has “Not for Civvies” on it 😁.
Can confirm this + they were larger and wider kinda like a large turkish delight bar.
On the bright side that thing's gonna be heating potnoodles for the next million years
When I saw the Tunnock's I was thinking, "Is this real?"
When I saw the Whiskey I thought, "Please be real".
*whisky
Nope here are the reasons
By ww1 ration achool was reduced to 1 shot of rum and now is completly reduced. Also soldiers would tottaly drink it all at once, and drunk soldiers are gonna become very drunk wae crimanals.
A normal water activated heater is far more effective, then your totally not fake radioactive heater.
Since the heater comes in every ration that means you throw it away each time leaving toxic material on the gound. And if they have a way to dispose of nuclear meterial on the field. It still be cheaper more space efficent and safer, then a normal ration heater.
They don't eat candy, and at that no peanut m&ms you realise that some soldiers have allergies thefore can't eat the food. Also MREs are throwen around on truck bed and are damaged often. If that ration was given to troops the noodles cup wouod be leeking and the achook would be smashed with achool ruining the rest.
The shot glass is the funnest thing to me not every soldier gets issued a canteen every ration they get.
If you need a cup so bad they would give a metal cup in training, same for the e cig.
Also a E-cigarette no just no,
They would at most get a pack of nicotine gum. Plus it would break in the pack and cause the nicotine leek into the pack. They would never waste money on things that some people don't use.
@patrick howard no, whiskey is Irish and American, whisky is all others. The origin of the spirit is what matters, not the origin of the person. It's a common misconception though. But yeah, scotch is never ever called whiskey correctly. Always whisky.

Clive, I found someone’s discarded e-cig in a parking garage this afternoon and did what needed to be done. Naturally, that being to take it home and dismantle it.
Inside it’s extruded aluminum housing, it had the same circuitry as the one you most recently featured, with that same “microphone” type switch and a 280 mAh rechargeable lithium cell. The juice chamber was two pieces of batting (similar to the material in a zippo lighter) between silicone seals, with the heating coil connected to leads that passed through the lower seal. The mouthpiece and upper seal were so easy to remove that literally all it would take to make it completely reusable is a way to recharge the battery, and yet it’s a disposable item.
It’s crazy both how wasteful the e-cig industry seems to be, and how efficient they are in terms of a BoM. All in all there were maybe 15 discrete pieces, with the majority of those being for the liquid reservoir and heating coil.
Edit: Here’s the link to the manufacturer’s product page for the device I disassembled:
pixxipods.com/products/3-pack-georgia-peach-iced
Are you sure your not Clive that seems exactly like what he would do in this scenario
That's because it IS a reusable item, in what was a standard form-factor/threading, just without the charger. Probably an 808 type, like the Vapor4Life models: www.vapor4life.com/batteries/new-titan-ecig-battery/
Possibly a 510, but either way, it's a case of not reinventing the wheel and just providing the bare minimum number of already mass-manufactured parts in a package.
Keep in mind that you'd also have to get more juice for the thing, either through buying additional cartridges from a company like V4L or by attempting to refill the existing cartridges (not typically with great success on the thinner "cigalike" models like the 808).
I won a batch of 30 or so disposable ecigs in an auction for about £1.50.. Only inside the multipack, on the individual packages, was there an expiry date of a couple of years ago. So the batteries on the couple I tested were flat. I'm still trying to come up with a less distructive way of getting them apart and recharging them..
gmofftarki Not even close my dude. It was a peach flavored Pixxi pod, which are specifically advertised as disposable. At ~$7 each, it’s absolutely mind boggling how cheap the materials must be to have any sort of profit margin at that price point.
Under the black plastic mouthpiece was the upper silicone seal for the juice chamber which had two pieces of batting to absorb the juice (similar to a zippo lighter). All someone would need to do to refill it is pop the top off and add some juice, at which point the inability to recharge the battery is what would kill the device.
pixxipods.com/products/3-pack-georgia-peach-iced
@@mrb692 Ah, I was just basing it off of the ecig in the video, assuming that the one you found was similar. I know nothing about the Pixxi, or indeed any of the pod systems, since I'd moved on to refillable alternatives long before any of those became popular.
From the instructions card:
Do not insert fuel rod into urethra, doing so will not turn you into a "Dongzilla"
Instructions unclear, got my dongzilla caught in the ceiling fan...
Turning into Dongzilla just gives it *more* reason to jam a fuel rod down the knob
Warning or advice?
Thanks for this, I 100 percent just scoured the internet for one of those ration heaters to incorporate into my water system to keep it from freezing in the winter. Hook, line, sinker.

The Italian MRE is actually a 5 course meal served by a waiter.

@ss - Yeah, at least Clive emptied his : )
Aye. Pretty much Leith, on a bad Saturday
worst part... outside the booze, this was more healthy then some survival rations i have seen.... check out steve1984's coast guard ration video.
Usual MRE: Some meal to heat up in a bag, maybe something in a can, instant coffee
Scottish MRE: CHOCOLATE, POT NOODLES, IRN BRU, WHISKY, VAPE AND RADIATION
This ration covers all the main Scottish food groups. This is what is known in Scotland as a balanced diet.
Damn you, Clive! I watched this immediately when it was published, so there were no comments yet. A couple of days prior, my Scottish horticulture teacher had just been telling me about the rations of booze he used to get as an enlisted man so the booze did not throw me off at all. High-calorie & sugary treats, well sure why not. But the nuke heater blew my mind! Was so wowed that I though 'I must have one of these'. After much unsuccessful searching for such a thing, and no luck finding an MRE by the same name, I came back here to see if anyone else had some clues in the comments and...the rest is history! You are awesome good sir! Damn, you!
Hah I didn't know for sure that it was fake but was suspicious that I hadn't heard of this application, the use of plutonium decay as a heat source and to produce power through the thermoelectric effect is very common in unmanned space probes (The ability to produce power for literally decades plus the very high energy per unit mass being key here). But then I also know that even though the RTG's are relatively inefficient these devices do have on the order of kilograms of plutonium even in a relatively small probe so this did seem odd guess that is the benefit of working on having a broad base of knowledge lot harder for someone to sell you some psudoscience that doesn't at least make you think "Doubt, lets see if this really is the case".
I could tell from the packaging it was fake, no way a ration pack would be that loosely packed lol...

@@johnnydugas1970 No, no, no, definitely not a gag, absolutely dead serious, just ask any Scotsman. The rare Irish military ration for officers is very nearly identical, but they also have the Tato crisps. Irish whisky or for the lower ranks, (NCOs) freeze dried Guinness.

It's almost plausible. Field rations do contain high calorie foods. But it would not be stuff you could buy from your local store!
Also, it can have chocolate, but the rest would be tinned meat, nuts, dried fruit, and such like.
Definitely no alcohol or nuclear heaters!
@@Nilsy1975 So, depending on country, quite a lot of MRE's and rations do actually contain some name brand items you can buy, for instance the majority of Canadian's are prepared by Baxter's, which you can buy a lot of their products in the UK. Also, Yorkie's used to be in UK 24 hour Ration packs, however instead of the 'Not for girls' slogan, it was replaced with 'Not for civvies'. Also, from watching far too much Steve1989MREinfo, there was actually an Italian 24 ration which did come with a shot of alcohol as a morale boost, however that is the only example I'm aware of.
@@fghhjkd I did a training exercise with field rations. I wasn't disputing that. I was going from the naval rations package. It definitely did not have nuclear heaters or pot nuddles!

You had me right up to the plutonium heater part. If the neutron absorption rod was actually cooling it down, then you would be having a chain reaction in the plutonium, and not having a very good day. The plutonium thermal generators use a non-fissionable isotope and you're just getting radioactive decay as their energy output, not a chain reaction.
Leaving that aside, I thought "grog" always meant run+lime juice for scurvy prevention. I'm also surprised that "spork" have made it's way into the British lexicon.
As your penance, I think you should go down to the Mclheny Brothers operation on Avery Island, Louisiana, and participate in the mash tasting after the oak cask aging and before bottling. Yes, I think that would be very appropriate, indeed.
A spork can make it easier to avoid wastage with the remaining liquids? So you don't have to pour the noodle pot contents out into your mouth?
Grog was the nickname sailors gave to the diluted rum that a certain "Captain Grog" forced on the navy instead of their straight rum rations. I dare say a modern 37.5% rum is actually just as weak. It makes sense when cargo is limited on a ship to have pure 90%+ rum.
Drew Dastardly make that about 69 to 73%. That’s what’s left from spirit out of a pot Stil after some time in a cask.
@@VolkerHett I'm not so sure. I found old patents for fractionating column and reflux stills from that era. It makes sense to ship spirits as pure as possible to take up less space. Similarly the beer on ships (which would be drank instead of potable water) had to be strong enough to not go bad, hence IPA, etc.
I suppose with extremely careful design you could have a nuclear device that was critical when cool but when heated it expanded such that it ceased to be critical.
Could you send one of these to MRESteve1989 here on RUclips? I'm sure he'd want to review and document one before they're gone. Thanks!

@@rfunk727 - I used to ship hazmat internationally at my last workplace, and as long as you have your paperwork and packaging in order, shipping radioactive materials isn't terribly difficult.

Don't forget, businesses and universities send small amounts of radioactive materials around all the time. Often as part of detection systems for manufacturing and analysis.
