1: bigger magnifying glass.. 2: a lever or string puly to lift the magnifying glass as the sun moves through the day(even over 5 mins it can move off center) 3: focus to smaller hole 4: paint the back of the bullet black so it absorbs more light. 5: make sure your magnifying glass focuses the infrared heat light wavelengths I think the magnifying glass can fire the bullet, and perhaps do so faster than you think as long as the bullet absorbs enough sunlight and produces enough heat, and can probably do so faster than you think.
i always thought the hammer gave so much kinetic force that something inside the bullet makes friction with the magnesium(does bullets have magnesium) or the gun powder giving a combustion effect, the uhhh concentrated sun is still not hot enough with the size of a loupe. so YES you can still make this work if you make the loupe big enough one guy on yt made literal lava or magma from putting a giant lens the size of a window 4 by 4 on concrete
You'll need a way to track the sun's movement across the sky, relative to the stationary bullet plus lens assembly. Your hotspot is moving completely off center in less than 3 minutes.
If you throw bullets into a fire, they will not explode or fire. What happens is, they burn and then popcorn. They call it "popcorn" the inside of the bullet popcorn to prevent accidental firing.
Cool idea, I would have loved to see this working. However, the focus of the light should travel some distance in 5 to 10 minutes and the small dot might not even hit the primer anymore. A bigger magnifying glass might do the trick to heat up the 50BMG faster. The alternative could be you make a “solar scorcher” those can get very hot within a blink of an eye.
Probably not the safest idea you've ever had. If it works and the case explodes, how far will the shrapnel fly? Up next: hitting rifle round primers with a nail and hammer
Very cool idea. I want to see it work. Just need a way for the focal point to follow the primer. Or just have a few magnifying lenses and just focus them on the casing itself. I don't think it's the primer that fires a bullet that is thrown in a fire; it's the heat of the fire.
Go buy some primers and try it that way. You can focus it better to figure out exactly what you need to do without the worry of the explosion. Try another type of magnifying glass as well. Then transfer what youve learned to your magnifying glass/duct tape setup. Redo video. Make bank. Something like that.
Technically the sun doesn’t move and we move around the sun…but I see what you’re saying. Luckily it wasn’t enough to be too much of a problem. It stayed on the bullet the whole time

All good ideas. Thank you
That intro gave me major “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” vibes. Lol
May be next time apply black paint to the primer so it will absorbs all the light energy falls on it.
Good idea! Honestly anything to help it go boom
I wanted to say that

Since it’s taking awhile to heat up the sun is probably moving and not continuously lined up with the primer

Various magnifying glasses at the same time? Parabolic sun cooker?

I will definitely have to look into those if I want it to work

Not boring...the sections in between waiting was 😂. Keep it up. Can't wait to see if the power of the sun actually works🔥
i love how he was explaining it and the wood was just burning right by his face haha
Science!
Science fail. Oh well. Thanks for watching

That actually is a pretty good idea. I’m going to have to mess around with it for a little to figure out what works. Thanks for watching
Dude how can i own one Barrette m82 50 bgm
You know the sun moves right ???

@@somerandomdude4522 😅😂
*ACKCHYUALLY*
Paint it flat black!
you need a stronger magnifying glass
Where is Jerry??
When I tried it it took 21 minutes so I think maybe you cut it a little early
Shut up
@@somerandomdude4522 🤐😢
it'd be cool if you shot some huge chunks of meat with the 50.
Like an angus beef cow haha. But yes I do like that idea
@@somerandomdude4522 Angus beef cow will work just fine 👌
Indian youtubers se kuch shekho yrr
This is a really great video idea.
Thanks. Now I just need to get a stronger magnifying glass
