  • Hollywood loves ridiculous explosions - and movie stars usually walk away from them unscathed. We had Columbia University explosives engineer Rodger Cornell rate five more explosion scenes from action movies. He breaks down how realistic these scenes really are. This time, Rodger looked at scenes from adventure movies like “The Rundown,” “No Country for Old Men,” “Spectre,” “Drive Angry,” and “Man on Fire.”

    I am a bit confused with the pressure thing.
    In college, I poured half a gallon of gasoline in an open dumpster filled with branches. (We also made a fuse out of gas down the side of the dumpster over the ground to about 10 feet away. )
    The resulting explosion was heard over a mile away. The branches were launched from the dumpster to about 5 feet away (and on fire). The dumpster itself was bowed in front and behind.
    So, not a "trash candle" which is what we were actually going for.

    I took a hazardous material course and let me tell you gasoline does not explode it is marked under flammable so it will just light like a candle and stay burning until deprived of oxygen, under certain circumstances if it is pressurized in a container the expansion of the pressure will make the container explode but never the gasoline, so true what this expert has said.

      Probably a little more believable than some movies, given he was running from napalm disbursed by explosives, not that it was that believable. The worst in my memory is when Jackson and Geena Davis run from an explosion, halfway down the hall. I'd swear they were running for three seconds after the "grenade" went off, outrunning the explosion. Trying to outrun explosions always kills me. The moviemakers seem to have zero clue as to the speed of explosions.

    • @kikixchannel
      @kikixchannel Год назад

      Most movie explosions are 'real', in that they are made in reality. But they are not 'real' in that being representative of what they are meant to represent. A grenade won't give a ball of fire for example, but that's what the movies show. The ball of fire explosion IS real (often), but it is caused by something other than a grenade.
      In similar vein while the explosion seen in Fifth Element (one of the best comedies I've ever seen...even though it's supposedly the exact opposite of a comedy) may be real, it almost certainly is NOT how that explosion would look if the scene was actually real and the same sort of supposed explosives were used with the same size (though I don't remember after all this time whether the material was even mentioned and real and what not, but you get the idea).
      Yes, 2 years late, but that's only double of how late this comment is!...That counts for something, right...

  • @rohankumarpanigrahi7475
    @rohankumarpanigrahi7475 4 года назад

    Firstly diesel doesn't ignite with a flame only unlike petrol so no matter how many bullets Or torches you put on a trail or tank of diesel most likely the fuel in the tanks of trucks it won't ignite there is a reason the diesel engine needs a compression cycle it needs very high temperatures to ignite or a normally high temperature and high pressure.
