Imma repeat. Do molten glass into liquid nitrogen. It would be cool to see if it just forms a prince ruperts drop or the pressures inside from cooling so fast, are so great that it explodes. Ya'know?
+Yammercat I agree to both of you, it would probably cool even slower (Both Leidenfrost but water has a higher heat capacity), but it still would be nice to see! :D
Autistic Fingoloid You realize heat can travel through air, right? Almost all things that are put into liquid nitrogen trigger the leidenfrost effect, yet it still cools them rapidly.
+1colonelsanders Its still going to be slower than water He did a video of a red hot nickel ball in water vs liquid nitrogen, the one in liquid nitrogen stayed hot longer
Ah his takes me back. I tried somethings very similar as a kid, only using a propane torch. The explosions were unexpected and more than enough to put me off. I can still remember the feeling of being peppered by hot shards. Not nice.
I'm a bit curious to know the chemistry and physics behind this. My basic understanding is that the HHO puts energy into pyrite's bonds, causing them to break apart. In turn, the energy produced by breaking said bonds is enough to produce sufficient force to propel chucks of pyrite everywhere.
+Crispin Freeman It´s half iron, and half sulphur, guess what, sulfur evaporates at 350° iron doesn´t even melt until 1800. All along the faultlines the sulphur builds up and then cracks it.
Joshua Real Posibly, but if you look closely some of it does melt rather than explode. If you break it up and even heat it, it might melt instead of pop.
Pyrite is hard, i work in the oil and gas industry and when we encounter pyrite it eats the tungsten carbide teeth off the drill bit in no time at all.
A map gas torch will do the same, and easy/cheaper to get. But my question is why ruin such a nice example of pyrite? I know its worthless, but still it was a nice piece for display
+the weirdest account ever it's a joke not a dick don't take it too hard. You hypocrites make fun of other politicians all the time, so we should be able to do so as well.
I wonder if it's water between the grains that makes it explode like that. Should have heated it in an oven at 110C for a few hours first. Then done the experiment.
the hydrogen torch at 0:12 reminds me on some of NASA's footages of the space shuttle at ignition stage... anyway... both of them running on the same fuel
Try ferrocerium powder vs a big chunk of wood, ( Ferrocerium is a metal that can burn really hot, and is mostly used in fire starter rods, magnesium rods are also used :3 )
Mari Onette The hydrogen gas is burning but we don't know if the pyrite itself is burning. It doesn't seem to be smoking and it's definitely not on fire, so it's unclear what's happening.
I dunno what I expected, but I didn't expect it to react so violently to the heat from the torch. Is it because of the crystalline form that pyrite has?
+SANTIAGO COSCHICA He uses the hydrogen torch to heat the nickel ball though, so it must be able to withstand the heat for a considerable amount of time.
Fools gold, or Pyrite, isnt a metal but a crystal, so there are air pockets that blow up from the hot air and possible gas. And also because rocks dont melt (lava isnt melted rock, but molten, there is a difference)
+dvanw6 -- But molten literary means "liquefied by heat". Molten comes from Melt. It's usually used for things with high melting points, but it's perfectly acceptable to say the butter on my toast is molten butter.
+InDeepPudding When you heat something it expands. When you heat a crystaline structure quickly it tries to expand but the rigidity of the structure means it builds up internal pressure. When the internal pressure exceeds the strength of the material the stored energy is released.
Interesting the high pitched sound it made reminds me of the strange noises people have been hearing from the Earth lately. Is it possible its the Earths core grinding?
it would most likely tUrn back into a powder or catch fire because the heat from the jickel ball would evaporate the water leaving the powder which could probably catch alight

Thank you sir for defining the very cancer that lies within RUclips.....
Me- "what if it explodes? you idiot!"
Rock- *explodes*
Me- "Cool!"
Some chunks blasting around while the rock steady hand refuses to flinch. :)
+Green Silver i think in this situation the rock is the part that wasnt steady
+carsandwater I don't recall a HHO torch being available as a weapon in Atari's 1979 version of Asteroids.
Ah his takes me back. I tried somethings very similar as a kid, only using a propane torch. The explosions were unexpected and more than enough to put me off. I can still remember the feeling of being peppered by hot shards.

I think it is more of the crystalline structure breaking.
+Crispin Freeman Its probably more the gases trapped inside are getting hot and expanding thus causing enough pressure to fracture the rock.
+Crispin Freeman It´s half iron, and half sulphur, guess what, sulfur evaporates at 350° iron doesn´t even melt until 1800. All along the faultlines the sulphur builds up and then cracks it.
Thank you for explaining this!
Oh wtf, I'm 2 minutes in and only just realised this wasn't a Periodic Videos video.
And that is how pop rocks are made
lol
Try smelting some into a bar some time
+Ordinariri stop! Plz
+marmite games PROTIP
I don't think that's possible since it doesn't melt like metal and it has a crystalline structure.
+Coldkill2001 pyrite don't give a shit!

those slowmotions are beautiful.
I wondered if it was going to blow up. Interesting fact, pirite due to its sulpher content can theoretically be used to make gun powder.
Pyrite is hard, i work in the oil and gas industry and when we encounter pyrite it eats the tungsten carbide teeth off the drill bit in no time at all.
the slowmo version of the torch being lit by the lighter is awesome
A map gas torch will do the same, and easy/cheaper to get. But my question is why ruin such a nice example of pyrite? I know its worthless, but still it was a nice piece for display
Still waiting on RHNB vs Donald Trump
Lol
Oh Yeah Well What About Hillary??

Rnhb vs shillary
+Justin Koenig I'm sorry, you'll have to direct me to the #HuckFillary campaign
That looked like when Spongebob sculpted marble. 2:02
And 2:36
did someone say spongebob
+Patrick Star yes
lol
RHNB vs Peanut butter!
So, to clarify, the jump cut at about 01:43 was where you stopped to put on some protective gear?
2:02 When Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks a Nokia 3310, this is what happens to the known universe.
wow, didnt expect what is basically a rock to explode. didnt think there was an ore that did that
id like to watch this in Snoopavision
I'm diggin' the slow motion.
Man, the popping sounds when it splits just seem so loud even though it's a video. At one point I actually flinched.
Those slow-mo shots were awesome
I bet the fumes from that smell pretty nasty considering your making hydrogen-sulfide the active scent in farts, rotten eggs, and skunk spray
+Noah Grassie I think he wears a gas mask
Which torch burns hotter? The Hydrogen, or the Propane?
Looks cool, Is there any way to melt this stuff without it exploding in all directions?
+DyrosGaming mabey if you grind it to a fine powder and dry the powder in the oven first for an hour or so (in case of water), should be doable.
maybe an air vacuum
+Kodi Senga Someone should do this and put it on youtube.
Whoa! Were you prepared for such a violent reaction? Did not expect that myself! Very cool
I wonder how bad the smell must have been when you were doing this, after all with that much sulfur in it i can only imagine it wasn't very good.
Wow, pyrite doesn't play well with others, does it. What a snarky, arrogant mineral.
As soon as I heard the squealing sounds early on I knew this was going to be a bad idea.
I don't know anything about minerals so maybe this is a dumb question, but would it retain it's luster if you melted and reformed it...
I can probably find a way that even fools gold would be unsafe/dangerous.
Now is it exploding from a chemical reaction or from thermal shock?
DO rhnb vs PAINT BALLS.
Just in case you dont know, the pyrite exploded due to the energy released by destroying the crystalline structure.
what happens when you put RHNB on a RHNB?
Did this smell when you fired it?
I wonder if it's water between the grains that makes it explode like that.
Should have heated it in an oven at 110C for a few hours first. Then done the experiment.
Did it smell really bad?
Why does it explode like that? Is it thermal expansion shearing the brittle material apart or a property of the sulfur in it?
+Blargenth Most likely it's a bit of both
the hydrogen torch at 0:12 reminds me on some of NASA's footages of the space shuttle at ignition stage...
anyway... both of them running on the same fuel
I came expecting this video to be an april fools joke ,but it wasn't. good one, you got me.
I gotta say the new camera work is top notch loving the vids even more now keep up the great work
I really love those slow-mo parts. They are awesome!
you should burn more stuff with that torch.
Loving the slow motion camera. Nice addition.
Please do any iPhone or iPad vs liquid nitrogen and/or RHNB
2:02 CRITICAL HIT!
Try ferrocerium powder vs a big chunk of wood, ( Ferrocerium is a metal that can burn really hot, and is mostly used in fire starter rods, magnesium rods are also used :3 )
+ChaoticWolf Ferrocerium doesn't burn particularly hot, it's used in fire starters because it's pyrophoric so it sparks exceptionally well.
+Marcus Orsih Oh, thanks!
so how did it smell? did it react to H2S or did the hydrogen just react with the oxygen in the air?
I have a califonium stone.do you want to buy it?
Still waiting for cold steel bars vs Hillary Clinton
Steel bracelets vs Hillary Clinton!
Is a chemical reaction happening, or is it just melting/vaporizing?
Mari Onette
The hydrogen gas is burning but we don't know if the pyrite itself is burning. It doesn't seem to be smoking and it's definitely not on fire, so it's unclear what's happening.
is this a HHO flame or just Hydrogen ?
+Gonun It's HHO. That gurgling in the background is his electrolyzer, and IIRC he just runs the gasses straight to the torch.
Marcus Orsih
ok, thx!
I dunno what I expected, but I didn't expect it to react so violently to the heat from the torch. Is it because of the crystalline form that pyrite has?
If you heat up pyrite it produces sulfur vapours, i suppose that it's the reason behind the violent reaction and the explosion of the Cristal.
Question what is fools gold made of?!
How awful does that smell burning it?
RHNB a bowl of chunks of this?
Do Hydrogen vs RHNB
+Gavin Lewis i think that not even the normal nickel ball will be able to withstand the hydrogen
+SANTIAGO COSCHICA He uses the hydrogen torch to heat the nickel ball though, so it must be able to withstand the heat for a considerable amount of time.
he uses the hydrogen torch? then the battle is already won
I KNEW IT!!

The slow motion of this is amazing
one day i wanted to see some red hot metal on youtube. i thought i was crazy. But the guy have 771k subs. I'm not alone!
You should put the RHNB on this!
can you melt it?
Why does it explode?
Now, why didn't it melt? Air bubbles?
Why does it crackle and pop?
+InDeepPudding because snap
+InDeepPudding When you heat something it expands. When you heat a crystaline structure quickly it tries to expand but the rigidity of the structure means it builds up internal pressure. When the internal pressure exceeds the strength of the material the stored energy is released.
RHNB- magnet?
HHO gas is a good way to break up quartz rocks and melt the gold out of them. Makes it easier to crush the rock.
Best April Fools joke ever: Don't use a Red Hot Nickel Ball
i can't stop watching all these videos!
why did it pop/explode like that?
I hope you had good ventilation, this would produce poisonous hydrogen sulfide fumes.
Interesting the high pitched sound it made reminds me of the strange noises people have been hearing from the Earth lately. Is it possible its the Earths core grinding?
Why did it blow up like that?
Iron sulfide remains unamused with hydrogen's shenanigans.
Slomo looks great man!
why does your hydrogen torch flame have a colour
why was the pyrite exploding? did it have gas traped in it??? I really want to know. :)
that must have smelled GREAT
don't know if you have done this but raw eggs vs rhnd approx 10 eggs
when he lights the blowtorch it sounds like a loud sneeze
I remember when my dad found pyrite when he used to do road work. Sure fooled me when he brought it home, never knew what he did with those rocks.
Awesome video! Good to see you keeping your videos fresh!
Is pyrite magnetic?
+Doom Junyu It's paramagnetic. So magnets will stick to it, but it cant be magnetized itself.
Would you try liquid nitrogen in champagne?
Just wondering if you could put the heated up metal ball on a Mc Donalds Burger and compare it to a normal Burger
Why does the Hydrogen fire react like that?
Does anything interesting happen when you take your HHO to heat resistant materials like ceramic or fireplace brick?
+Sizukun1 I think they start to glow after a while.
+Sizukun1 what do you think the white platform is under the fool's gold?
Heat capacity looks like it is very low.
You should do a rhnb in cornflour and water
it would most likely tUrn back into a powder or catch fire because the heat from the jickel ball would evaporate the water leaving the powder which could probably catch alight
