- While visiting the production of House of the Dragon's second season, Adam learns the various ways that dragon fire is practically created using different types of flamethrowers and custom fire rigs. Special effects technician Julian Butterfield walks Adam through a series of demonstrations ranging from a backpack flamethrower to a rig that uses 50 liters of fuel in one blast!

I feel like Adam was looking at that forklift flamethrower rig and thinking to himself “Man, I wish we had built something like that on Mythbusters…”
He's probably looking to see if he has all the components in the shop to build one as soon as he gets home
I'm sure they did something like that.
Kari, Grant & Tory: "Hell yeah! Sounds awesome! So what's the myth that involves a giant flamethrower?"
Jamie & Adam: "....myth?"
They did do flamethrower vs fire extinguisher. Jamie’s flamethrower gave these a run for their money.
I'm sure he built plenty of Pyro in his long career of prop building.
I just love that the guy igniting the dragon fire is named Alistair.
"Alistair, bring me my fire."
I am not sure which position I'd like to be in more... the orderer of the fire, or the fire bringer... I think I would like to be both actually :)
3:1 diesel to gas is the ratio we used when making drip torch fuel when I was a wildland firefighter. We used it to light controlled burns. So basically, we were dragons. Cool!
this californian says thank you for your service fr
o7 to you and your colleagues from CA
We repurposed a fire extinguisher to make this flame thrower
"I feel like I'm home", best comment ever.
Its funny seeing this being used again like this. I remember Reign of Fire using this very type of thing for their dragons back in 2002.
Yeah reign of fire thought through these things. I think the dragons even had double nozzles in their biology.
@@nak3dxsnake Yup. They had two fire dispensers, and they used a cone to make it realistic (because just air isn't enough). A living breathing creature would "breathe" the stuff out and the pressure of their lungs would make it expand just after. They actually scienced this down to a T. I'm not particularly impressed with HotD's fire, because it goes by ideas that aren't realistic to the fact that a dragon would have a limited lung capacity. It's a breath infused with fire, not a magical pentagram in the sky releasing fire. Oh well, at least they tried.
@@aserta IMO it works for GoT/HoTD compared to RoF. Reign of Fire's dragons were made as realistically as possible, whereas A Song of Ice and Fire's dragons are inherently magical. They're fire made flesh. In ASOIAF fire is the preferred method of human sacrifice and it's theorized that's why old Valyrian dragons, Balerion, and Drogon all got as large as they did. Not only were they free to fly around, but they regularly burned humans to death. They made magically potent human sacrifices that contributed to their growth and power.
Gotta respect the production teams behind both, but especially HoTD. HoTD uses as little VFX fire as possible because it doesn't look as good or light a scene the way a real fire does. A lot of the actors will actually be set on fire for scenes. They have some seriously amazing procedures in place that puts the actors in very little risk and it looks all the more spectacular for it.
@@MettleSoul I think this is one of the fun balancing acts between fantasy and reality, ignoring the idea of a realistic dragon. RoF came up with a biologically plausible solution to igniting fuel with the idea of a hypergolic mixture so that dragons wouldn't need a pilot light. HoTD goes with magic, but then why would their fire get dirtier as they get older? I guess that's the problem with getting older and being an engineer. Sometimes it gets harder to suspend disbelief and look for plot holes. Like what happens when a dragon hiccups?
"Design is pride." I want that on a t-shirt.
just make sure it's not a rainbow shirt XD
@@g60force On the contrary, all the weird haters out there are an extra motivation to put it on a rainbow shirt.
That sounds like the coolest job you can ever have: "oh, I make giant flamethrowers to simulate dragon fire for this huge show"
What an impressive set up. The drones with flamethrowers are gonna be terrifying.
I cannot get over how good Adam is with interacting with guests on anything he's in, especially in this almost-interview-like style, he always finds a thing to genuinely connect with them about and seems to really do his best to help them show it to a camera while also enjoying the explanation himself
In college (~30 years ago) we found out the coffee creamer trick. We also tested and found out that CoffeeMate brand was too high quality to burn, so we would raid the Hardee's for their off-brand cheap stuff. Then we'd hide closed packets around friends apartments for them to find later. They ask "why are you trying to burn my place down?" Of course it would never burn in a sealed packet. Sprinkling it lightly over a flame gave just enough air to produce a nice, safe(ish) fireball.
Creamer is flammable?? Glad I don't use that...or drink coffee, for that matter.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Most food is flammable, you literally measure the calorie content by burning it in a bomb calorimeter. Your body does effectively the same thing with food, just not with explosions and fire.
@@AleksaNoeksa Yep, digesting food generates a small amount of heat as a byproduct from the oxidation of food in your stomach acid. Pretty neat stuff!
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Any powder based food item like that can burn, almost all of these substances (like sugar or flour) wouldn't normally burn very easily in bulk, but the super fine powder makes each particle so light that it is easy to heat up to the extent where it burns easily and with intensity.
Look up the explosions that can happen in sugar mills or grain silos for an idea of what happens when this concept unfolds in the worst way possible.
@@Lessinath I even remember seeing a movie and a TV show that used the explosive nature of a room full of floating flour dust as a booby trap. Unfortunately, I can no longer remember the titles.
The slo mo shot of the big breath travelling along the ground is 👌
6:46 is no joke. I remember at Maker Faire 2009, when I was there for doing the demo of the Hackerbot Labs quarter shrinker (which can be seen at v=9UOFrqxD5C8, where I'm visible in some portions), there was a dragon sculpture, that had fire probably a bit smaller than what this forklift is doing, but still pretty big... And I was far enough away from it that I could have measured the speed of sound by it, because I'd feel the heat on my face, as the Infrared Light got to me almost instantly, and then later I'd hear the sound. Wild.
That was awesome. I love when two nerds who have passions for each other’s craft. I doubt I’d understand much but I could listen to you two talk for hours. Adam you are so humble. Thank you sir.
Having never watched anything GoT, after the intro sneak peek, I had immediately thought that I wouldn't expect a biological would create such a sooty, smokey flame. So *how perfect* for me when they *_immediately_* addressed that! 😅
yeah i was thinking "huh surely they would want a cleaner flame" and then im like "ohhhhh" lol
We all know Adam's next one day build. LMAO. Within 24 hours of Dragons breath video, Adam is vacuum forming parts for a flame thrower. Plastic+fire.....
This won't end well.
Serious MythBusters Vibes here. You just need Jamie in
the background going "Yeah."
You can prevent the freezing on the tank-side by submerging it in a trash can filled with water.
For gigantic ones fired in bursts, an old fire extinguisher as an intermediate tank gives it more punch and helps against "water hammer" when repeatedly, quickly closing the magnetic valve.
there is already a solution for this called a vaporizer.
Post production but not CGI. This is so delicately important to modern FX!
The mention of coffeemate reminded me of one of the most impressive explosions on mythbusters, which seems fitting!
I love that they are using actual flame and not CGI-ing everything!
Adam's excitement with the final example reminded me of Dwight Schrute when the firetrucks arrive at Dunder Mifflin. IFYKYK.
Big props to Aleister the Invoker of flames
man those first 10 seconds feel like a clip straight out of mythbusters. just throw buster in front of that thing
I love that the thumbnail makes it look like he's breathing fire
They're doing their A|B testing... 😅
In my feed it was that, but I have YT set to ask what quality level to cue up when I click, and it loaded the new one which is just Adam facing the camera with a look of absolute glee!
Which any time you see him emote like that... you know it's his internal _(and eternal!)_ 10y/o-Adam coming to the surface 😊
More interesting than the actual TV show.
Loved seeing this back forth between amazing master makers!
Goddamn it Alastair!
This video was just pure joy to watch. The flamthrower on the forklift had me smiling from ear to ear. I loved that one best and the kind of flame it made.
Lycopodium powder is the main substance used by Rammstein in their stage shows.
The cold flames
Oh man, Adam was here in Northern Ireland..? Hope you had a great visit!
the movie Reign of Fire (2002) used those kind of flamethrowing rigs... but way bigger! :)
"oh its just lovely" couldn't have ended that better. lol
All we need is for Jamie to show up, and it’s an episode of Mythbusters. Jamie wants Big Boom!
Yes, Adam gets to do the best stuff! This was so cool. Loved the reference back to the Mythbusters episode where the team were playing with the flammability of powdered coffee creamer!
That's actually pretty neat. Thought they were using CGI particle effects for that to avoid potential burns or to make lighting easier though.
"Apparently so" classic HOTD sentence
Blows your mind drastically, fantastically
Very environmentally friendly! The fire needs to be realistic for our CGI dragons.
What’s “like podium”? That’s all the subtitles help with.
...that's hot.
I hope Adam never lose his excitement for everything. He is the best. And so positive...
I kind of wish Adam had the opportunity to take a look at Rammstein's stage and pyro setup, that would be awesome!
The last one was super cool Vhagar was cooking
Funny that, if you propel que mixture with LPG, the older dragons breath is basically all the elements of raw petroleum, minus heavier oils (which by the way of the soot, I could swear there were as well)
Perfect perspective on the teaser image! Adam breathing fire! 🤣
😂 1:41 do you wanna have a burn
You can tell they love their job.
I’m happy to see you review Alien figures! I wish HT would revisit the franchise today!
Spent hours down at that water tank, we did one of the largest explosions in the UK there for a film, love leavesden.
Lots of smoke, but this is wonderful vfx reference too
Terrific. And fun to see how much fun it is for all. Thank you 💙🌻💙
So basically, the same way they did it in the all time greatest dragon movie ever made, Reign of Fire. Neat.
Man you get around! If I’d known you were local I’d have bought you a pint! ;)
No on will ever watch this show the same again after watching this episode!
A few years ago when i worked for a company selling pressure washer parts i had a call from a gentleman after a nozzle , after talking for a bit about pressure's and flow rates and getting some vague answers i asked what it was for and was told a flame thrower after advising it was not designed for that and being told that it was ok they knew what they were doing we proceeded to accept the sale and the purchase order had the words " ice & fire " on it , This was before series 8 Just my small claim to fame
That flamethrower on a fork lift reminds me of how it was done for the "Reign of Fire" movie.
Brilliant!
It must've been exceptionally windy if that was the best LPG flame that could be produced. You could see what they were going for but the flame just wouldn't sit still long enough.
Hearing him at the beginning its almost like Mythbusters never ended 😂
Like-a-podium, hooo, burned for the very first tiiiiiime
Adam savage was in the UK???? Why was that not announced 😂 love to sit with him one day and listen live
Did Adam take a nervous step back @ 1:18 ?
I think he was just making way for Julian's arm.
Imagine that, they used the same system that Reign of Fire came up with over 20 years ago.
Every time I used one of these I'd be saying "dracarys" in my head
The 10 first seconds of this video are terrifying.
I want to see a baby dragon's fire! Just a delicate puff of smoke! Hahaha. So cool!
Fun it was. Needed Jamie cut out holding his chin with his hand
Damn...I'm sad. This made me feel like we were back on a Mythbusters set, and Adam is about to yell "3, 2, 1, Jamie, let it rip!".
I feel like the Hyneman is jealous of this day.
Thinking weed removal.........
This has some classic Mythbusters feel
So we are just going to ignore that people were literally lit on fire for these shots 0:52
Magicians traditionally use Lycopodium powder for various fire effects.
Another use for finger print powder 🤞🏼
Lycopodium took me back, I remember Mr Wizard using that for experiments as a kid.
Was driving me crazy cos’s i thought the first flame material was called ”Like A Podium”😅
I wonder if instead of action, if the director says "dracarys" when fire is called for?
Cue beavis “FIRE!!!!!!!!”
Venerable dragons rolling coal.
Wow! Adam is so truly diverse in what he brings to us. From Legos to dragon’s breath, from storage systems to bank vaults. I love it.
Thanks for not condescending and telling us what lycopodium is. I like googling things 😝
Great video sir 😊❤
How HOTD makes dragonfire: they use fire.
Should check out Tortuga Studios, Sydney sometime
Cool!
Reminds me of the work they did for the dragons in Reign of Fire. (I think they used practical fire?)
Imagine an inverted universe where water was fire, and water fighter trucks had one of these mounted.
FIRE!
@tested could they put a heating coil or heating element around the barrel of the handheld to stop it from freezing or not really?
AST is THE best RUclips channel.
1:03 "repurposed" to do the opposite of what it was designed to do
Hans, get ze flammenwerfer!
Pretty sure they did the same thing for the movie Reign of Fire.
According to the thumbnail, House of the Dragon used a fire-breathing Adam Savage
Awesome.
It’s sort of comical that people can just light up diesel fuel for this, but cars and trucks can’t modify their exhaust systems without prosecution.
Julian Butterfield is a truly frightening man. I blanche to think what he's capable of
Dracarys!! 🔥🐉
DRACARYS! 🔥🐲
