Experiment: Lighting off 450 Smoke Bombs


that that actually have worked what’s up

that that actually have worked what’s up guys welcome back to the shop for

guys welcome back to the shop for

guys welcome back to the shop for another pyro project for this video I

another pyro project for this video I

another pyro project for this video I went down to the dollar store and I

went down to the dollar store and I

went down to the dollar store and I clean them out of these little tiny

clean them out of these little tiny

clean them out of these little tiny smoke balls they come out around this

smoke balls they come out around this

smoke balls they come out around this time of year and I actually counted all

time of year and I actually counted all

time of year and I actually counted all these we have 75 pack of 6 balls each

these we have 75 pack of 6 balls each

these we have 75 pack of 6 balls each that’s a total of 450 mini smoke bombs

that’s a total of 450 mini smoke bombs

that’s a total of 450 mini smoke bombs that we can consolidate into four giant

that we can consolidate into four giant

that we can consolidate into four giant smoke bombs and that’s the purpose of

smoke bombs and that’s the purpose of

smoke bombs and that’s the purpose of this project today here’s the basic idea

this project today here’s the basic idea

this project today here’s the basic idea I went and picked up four different cups

I went and picked up four different cups

I went and picked up four different cups here because we have four different

here because we have four different

here because we have four different colors we’ve got yellow white blue and

colors we’ve got yellow white blue and

colors we’ve got yellow white blue and purple now if you take one of these

purple now if you take one of these

purple now if you take one of these little smoke bombs and look inside we’re

little smoke bombs and look inside we’re

little smoke bombs and look inside we’re going to find is there’s a layer of

going to find is there’s a layer of

going to find is there’s a layer of paper on the top once you pull that

paper on the top once you pull that

paper on the top once you pull that apart you can see there’s a seam line

apart you can see there’s a seam line

apart you can see there’s a seam line that connects two halves of a cardboard

that connects two halves of a cardboard

that connects two halves of a cardboard sphere if you give it a little pop with

sphere if you give it a little pop with

sphere if you give it a little pop with your thumb you can split the whole thing

your thumb you can split the whole thing

your thumb you can split the whole thing open and find a little smoke pellet

open and find a little smoke pellet

open and find a little smoke pellet that’s inside so our job at this point

that’s inside so our job at this point

that’s inside so our job at this point is to simply crack all 450 smoke bombs

is to simply crack all 450 smoke bombs

is to simply crack all 450 smoke bombs open pull the pellets out and group them

open pull the pellets out and group them

open pull the pellets out and group them by their respective colors all right

by their respective colors all right

by their respective colors all right cool let’s get cracking

[Music]

[Music] there we go there’s the last package

there we go there’s the last package

there we go there’s the last package they’re all out it would be fun almost

they’re all out it would be fun almost

they’re all out it would be fun almost to light this off we’ve got a mountain

to light this off we’ve got a mountain

to light this off we’ve got a mountain of smoke bomb and that by itself could

of smoke bomb and that by itself could

of smoke bomb and that by itself could be a pretty epic time but in the

be a pretty epic time but in the

be a pretty epic time but in the interest of saving space we’re in the

interest of saving space we’re in the

interest of saving space we’re in the cracking things down to extract all

cracking things down to extract all

cracking things down to extract all those pellets and organize them into

those pellets and organize them into

those pellets and organize them into their respective colors all right here

their respective colors all right here

their respective colors all right here we are guys we have shelled 450 smoke

we are guys we have shelled 450 smoke

we are guys we have shelled 450 smoke bombs and put them into the different

bombs and put them into the different

bombs and put them into the different containers one thing that I notice is

containers one thing that I notice is

containers one thing that I notice is they’re really really heavy on the white

they’re really really heavy on the white

they’re really really heavy on the white next up is blue then we have yellow then

next up is blue then we have yellow then

next up is blue then we have yellow then we have purple what was really

we have purple what was really

we have purple what was really interesting about this patch I don’t

interesting about this patch I don’t

interesting about this patch I don’t know where these came from we ended up

know where these came from we ended up

know where these came from we ended up with two green totally random so now

with two green totally random so now

with two green totally random so now that we’ve got these things full I’m

that we’ve got these things full I’m

that we’ve got these things full I’m really tempted just to go outside and

really tempted just to go outside and

really tempted just to go outside and light them off the one question I have

light them off the one question I have

light them off the one question I have is should we wrap them up in aluminum

is should we wrap them up in aluminum

is should we wrap them up in aluminum foil to make them jet out one hole or

foil to make them jet out one hole or

foil to make them jet out one hole or should we just let the whole thing

should we just let the whole thing

should we just let the whole thing burned and see how that reacts now these

burned and see how that reacts now these

burned and see how that reacts now these are paper cups so I think at least what

are paper cups so I think at least what

are paper cups so I think at least what I’m going to do is put a couple of wraps

I’m going to do is put a couple of wraps

I’m going to do is put a couple of wraps of aluminum foil around the side help

of aluminum foil around the side help

of aluminum foil around the side help reinforce them then let’s go outside

reinforce them then let’s go outside

reinforce them then let’s go outside let’s light the yellow one off first and

let’s light the yellow one off first and

let’s light the yellow one off first and depending on how it reacts we can make a

depending on how it reacts we can make a

depending on how it reacts we can make a few adjustments in there

few adjustments in there

few adjustments in there [Music]

[Music]

[Music] [Applause]

[Music]

[Music] all right we’ve got the aluminum foil on

all right we’ve got the aluminum foil on

all right we’ve got the aluminum foil on our cup so it’s time to head outside and

our cup so it’s time to head outside and

our cup so it’s time to head outside and try two different experiments the first

try two different experiments the first

try two different experiments the first one we’re going to light off one of

one we’re going to light off one of

one we’re going to light off one of these smoke bombs as is and see how it

these smoke bombs as is and see how it

these smoke bombs as is and see how it performs then we’re going to light up

performs then we’re going to light up

performs then we’re going to light up one of our souped-up versions and see

one of our souped-up versions and see

one of our souped-up versions and see how they compare so we got four of the

how they compare so we got four of the

how they compare so we got four of the regular dollar-store smoke bombs we’re

regular dollar-store smoke bombs we’re

regular dollar-store smoke bombs we’re going to light them up and see how they

going to light them up and see how they

going to light them up and see how they react here we go there we go yeah so

react here we go there we go yeah so

react here we go there we go yeah so that was kind of pathetic yeah that’s

that was kind of pathetic yeah that’s

that was kind of pathetic yeah that’s kind of anticlimactic but pretty much

kind of anticlimactic but pretty much

kind of anticlimactic but pretty much what you expect from dollar store smoke

what you expect from dollar store smoke

what you expect from dollar store smoke bombs they only burn for about five

bombs they only burn for about five

bombs they only burn for about five seconds and they’re so light and flimsy

seconds and they’re so light and flimsy

seconds and they’re so light and flimsy they roll around the wind so let’s see

they roll around the wind so let’s see

they roll around the wind so let’s see how they compare to our homemade version

how they compare to our homemade version

how they compare to our homemade version where we’ve got a hundred of them in a

where we’ve got a hundred of them in a

where we’ve got a hundred of them in a cup now the question really is when we

cup now the question really is when we

cup now the question really is when we light one of these off is it going to

light one of these off is it going to

light one of these off is it going to ignite the whole batch or is it just

ignite the whole batch or is it just

ignite the whole batch or is it just going to go out by itself and fizzle

going to go out by itself and fizzle

going to go out by itself and fizzle down and die

down and die

down and die I guess there’s really only one way to

I guess there’s really only one way to

I guess there’s really only one way to find out so we’re going ahead and light

find out so we’re going ahead and light

find out so we’re going ahead and light up now all right let’s play it up moment

up now all right let’s play it up moment

up now all right let’s play it up moment of truth

whoa that’s hot thank it’s hot in a

whoa that’s hot thank it’s hot in a hurry new doggy wow wow wow okay so look

hurry new doggy wow wow wow okay so look

hurry new doggy wow wow wow okay so look down here you can see all the charred

down here you can see all the charred

down here you can see all the charred remnants of what should have been smoked

remnants of what should have been smoked

remnants of what should have been smoked and it does totally charred went off all

and it does totally charred went off all

and it does totally charred went off all at once now 300 – the cup lit on fire –

at once now 300 – the cup lit on fire –

at once now 300 – the cup lit on fire – good thing we put the aluminum foil

good thing we put the aluminum foil

good thing we put the aluminum foil around and that helped give it some

around and that helped give it some

around and that helped give it some integrity well the one thing I noticed

integrity well the one thing I noticed

integrity well the one thing I noticed there was no yellow smoke it just went

there was no yellow smoke it just went

there was no yellow smoke it just went up in this huge cloud big puff of like I

up in this huge cloud big puff of like I

up in this huge cloud big puff of like I don’t even know what a lot of flames and

don’t even know what a lot of flames and

don’t even know what a lot of flames and then just drifted away

then just drifted away

then just drifted away [Music]

[Music]

[Music] [Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause] lighting up remember that’s a lot of

lighting up remember that’s a lot of

lighting up remember that’s a lot of fire what surprised me about that

fire what surprised me about that

fire what surprised me about that reaction is there really wasn’t much

reaction is there really wasn’t much

reaction is there really wasn’t much smoke at all it just kind of went up in

smoke at all it just kind of went up in

smoke at all it just kind of went up in flames so where did all the coloring go

flames so where did all the coloring go

flames so where did all the coloring go I see traces of it on the brick and on

I see traces of it on the brick and on

I see traces of it on the brick and on the road itself but there was a lot of

the road itself but there was a lot of

the road itself but there was a lot of coloring in there and now it’s

coloring in there and now it’s

coloring in there and now it’s completely gone it’s very odd my guess

completely gone it’s very odd my guess

completely gone it’s very odd my guess is the reaction was too hot and

is the reaction was too hot and

is the reaction was too hot and everything just burned up so there was

everything just burned up so there was

everything just burned up so there was no chance to the smoke to just gently

no chance to the smoke to just gently

no chance to the smoke to just gently walked away I’m not very confident these

walked away I’m not very confident these

walked away I’m not very confident these other ones are going to work for we’re

other ones are going to work for we’re

other ones are going to work for we’re going to light them off but just to be

going to light them off but just to be

going to light them off but just to be sure I think the next one we’re going to

sure I think the next one we’re going to

sure I think the next one we’re going to dump out in a pile there spread a little

dump out in a pile there spread a little

dump out in a pile there spread a little more evenly next up we got the purple

more evenly next up we got the purple

more evenly next up we got the purple all right here we go if this works any

all right here we go if this works any

all right here we go if this works any better I’m going to start at the side to

better I’m going to start at the side to

better I’m going to start at the side to see if we get a slower burn and keep

see if we get a slower burn and keep

see if we get a slower burn and keep that makes a difference Wow that gets

that makes a difference Wow that gets

that makes a difference Wow that gets hot in a hurry interesting interesting

hot in a hurry interesting interesting

hot in a hurry interesting interesting this is interesting okay let’s talk

this is interesting okay let’s talk

this is interesting okay let’s talk about this so that’s our second batch we

about this so that’s our second batch we

about this so that’s our second batch we lit it off and ignite so quickly the

lit it off and ignite so quickly the

lit it off and ignite so quickly the only smoke that I see is like a grayish

only smoke that I see is like a grayish

only smoke that I see is like a grayish smoke that evaporates I don’t see any

smoke that evaporates I don’t see any

smoke that evaporates I don’t see any color whatsoever and all the dye is just

color whatsoever and all the dye is just

color whatsoever and all the dye is just left over here is like charred remnants

left over here is like charred remnants

left over here is like charred remnants [Music]

[Music]

[Music] that’s really pretty see that’s what we

that’s really pretty see that’s what we

that’s really pretty see that’s what we were expecting something of that nature

were expecting something of that nature

were expecting something of that nature so what I’m noticing here guys I’m

so what I’m noticing here guys I’m

so what I’m noticing here guys I’m seeing a pattern here that if this burns

seeing a pattern here that if this burns

seeing a pattern here that if this burns too hot and I think collectively all of

too hot and I think collectively all of

too hot and I think collectively all of these are too hot then instead of

these are too hot then instead of

these are too hot then instead of releasing the dye it scorches it and it

releasing the dye it scorches it and it

releasing the dye it scorches it and it doesn’t release any color at all so we

doesn’t release any color at all so we

doesn’t release any color at all so we pretty much know what to expect at this

pretty much know what to expect at this

pretty much know what to expect at this point but just for fun to wrap this

point but just for fun to wrap this

point but just for fun to wrap this whole thing in aluminum foil at the risk

whole thing in aluminum foil at the risk

whole thing in aluminum foil at the risk of it exploding just to see how it

of it exploding just to see how it

of it exploding just to see how it reacts in the confined environment all

reacts in the confined environment all

reacts in the confined environment all right here we go big one is lit whoa we

right here we go big one is lit whoa we

right here we go big one is lit whoa we did look up there we got a cloud of

did look up there we got a cloud of

did look up there we got a cloud of smoke trailing away I thought I saw a

smoke trailing away I thought I saw a

smoke trailing away I thought I saw a little bit of color out of there not

little bit of color out of there not

little bit of color out of there not very much though that was interesting so

very much though that was interesting so

very much though that was interesting so it actually blew a hole through the top

it actually blew a hole through the top

it actually blew a hole through the top of the aluminum foil here there’s still

of the aluminum foil here there’s still

of the aluminum foil here there’s still little bits of random pieces going up

little bits of random pieces going up

little bits of random pieces going up there and a lot of fire I don’t actually

there and a lot of fire I don’t actually

there and a lot of fire I don’t actually know what that is that’s the cup on the

know what that is that’s the cup on the

know what that is that’s the cup on the inside that’s burning but that just

inside that’s burning but that just

inside that’s burning but that just exploded out the top it through if you

exploded out the top it through if you

exploded out the top it through if you look at this loma on that you can

look at this loma on that you can

look at this loma on that you can actually see the fuses you can see like

actually see the fuses you can see like

actually see the fuses you can see like bits of smoke bomb flying out the top

bits of smoke bomb flying out the top

bits of smoke bomb flying out the top everywhere is a very dramatic reaction

everywhere is a very dramatic reaction

everywhere is a very dramatic reaction it’s kind of hard to tell if this worked

it’s kind of hard to tell if this worked

it’s kind of hard to tell if this worked or not because these were actually the

or not because these were actually the

or not because these were actually the white smoke bombs they did definitely

white smoke bombs they did definitely

white smoke bombs they did definitely see a big cloud of white go off I can’t

see a big cloud of white go off I can’t

see a big cloud of white go off I can’t really tell if this worked or not so

really tell if this worked or not so

really tell if this worked or not so just for fun we’re going to wrap up the

just for fun we’re going to wrap up the

just for fun we’re going to wrap up the last one this is a full cup of blue and

last one this is a full cup of blue and

last one this is a full cup of blue and see what it does

there’s probably about 125 blue smoke

there’s probably about 125 blue smoke bombs in here however I’m not very

bombs in here however I’m not very

bombs in here however I’m not very optimistic it’s going to work I think

optimistic it’s going to work I think

optimistic it’s going to work I think it’s just going to explode and is going

it’s just going to explode and is going

it’s just going to explode and is going to release black and white smoke however

to release black and white smoke however

to release black and white smoke however you never know if you try so here we go

you never know if you try so here we go

you never know if you try so here we go let’s do it

let’s do it

let’s do it once it’s lit there’s no turning back

once it’s lit there’s no turning back

once it’s lit there’s no turning back [Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause] [Music]

oh nice I got a little bit of blue there

oh nice I got a little bit of blue there whoa oh that that actually have worked I

whoa oh that that actually have worked I

whoa oh that that actually have worked I mean for about a foot and a half off of

mean for about a foot and a half off of

mean for about a foot and a half off of that thing I can actually see thick blue

that thing I can actually see thick blue

that thing I can actually see thick blue smoke it actually went very very quickly

smoke it actually went very very quickly

smoke it actually went very very quickly like four or five seconds it was

like four or five seconds it was

like four or five seconds it was completely gone and it spit out all this

completely gone and it spit out all this

completely gone and it spit out all this blue dye all over the road and then it

blue dye all over the road and then it

blue dye all over the road and then it kind of went up into a whitish smoke

kind of went up into a whitish smoke

kind of went up into a whitish smoke which is actually insane very dramatic

which is actually insane very dramatic

which is actually insane very dramatic reaction it spit a blue dye everywhere

reaction it spit a blue dye everywhere

reaction it spit a blue dye everywhere it’s all over the sidewalk all over the

it’s all over the sidewalk all over the

it’s all over the sidewalk all over the road to be a little bit the mess to

road to be a little bit the mess to

road to be a little bit the mess to clean up but that was pretty cool don’t

clean up but that was pretty cool don’t

clean up but that was pretty cool don’t know if it’s worth spending the money to

know if it’s worth spending the money to

know if it’s worth spending the money to make a giant smoke bomb but that was a

make a giant smoke bomb but that was a

make a giant smoke bomb but that was a pretty cool reaction so thinking back on

pretty cool reaction so thinking back on

pretty cool reaction so thinking back on the experiments that we just tried here

the experiments that we just tried here

the experiments that we just tried here today we really tried five different

today we really tried five different

today we really tried five different experiment we took smoke bombs from the

experiment we took smoke bombs from the

experiment we took smoke bombs from the dollar store and licked them off and

dollar store and licked them off and

dollar store and licked them off and found they burn between three to six

found they burn between three to six

found they burn between three to six seconds with a very wimpy plume of smoke

seconds with a very wimpy plume of smoke

seconds with a very wimpy plume of smoke so we shelled those smoke bombs suck all

so we shelled those smoke bombs suck all

so we shelled those smoke bombs suck all the yellow ones in the container and

the yellow ones in the container and

the yellow ones in the container and list them off all at once what we found

list them off all at once what we found

list them off all at once what we found was a little bit unexpected rather than

was a little bit unexpected rather than

was a little bit unexpected rather than a giant cloud of yellow smoke there was

a giant cloud of yellow smoke there was

a giant cloud of yellow smoke there was absolutely no colored smoke at all at

absolutely no colored smoke at all at

absolutely no colored smoke at all at least assuming that white smoke doesn’t

least assuming that white smoke doesn’t

least assuming that white smoke doesn’t really count what I think happened

really count what I think happened

really count what I think happened instead was so much heat was released

instead was so much heat was released

instead was so much heat was released that it charged the diet and prevent any

that it charged the diet and prevent any

that it charged the diet and prevent any colored smoke from being released at all

colored smoke from being released at all

colored smoke from being released at all so for our second experiment we spread

so for our second experiment we spread

so for our second experiment we spread all the purple smoke bombs out on a

all the purple smoke bombs out on a

all the purple smoke bombs out on a couple of bricks to see if by increasing

couple of bricks to see if by increasing

couple of bricks to see if by increasing the surface area would help slow the

the surface area would help slow the

the surface area would help slow the burn and the idea might have worked but

burn and the idea might have worked but

burn and the idea might have worked but they were still in such close proximity

they were still in such close proximity

they were still in such close proximity that the whole thing went up in a ball

that the whole thing went up in a ball

that the whole thing went up in a ball of fire with no visible color for the

of fire with no visible color for the

of fire with no visible color for the third experiment we tried wrapping a cup

third experiment we tried wrapping a cup

third experiment we tried wrapping a cup full of white smoke bomb in aluminum

full of white smoke bomb in aluminum

full of white smoke bomb in aluminum foil a few times to see how they would

foil a few times to see how they would

foil a few times to see how they would burn confined and when we let them off

burn confined and when we let them off

burn confined and when we let them off we did actually see a big cloud of white

we did actually see a big cloud of white

we did actually see a big cloud of white smoke take off now since it was white

smoke take off now since it was white

smoke take off now since it was white smoke bombs we couldn’t tell whether or

smoke bombs we couldn’t tell whether or

smoke bombs we couldn’t tell whether or not it had anything to do with the

not it had anything to do with the

not it had anything to do with the process so for our fourth experiment we

process so for our fourth experiment we

process so for our fourth experiment we wrapped the blue ones up in a similar

wrapped the blue ones up in a similar

wrapped the blue ones up in a similar manner there still was an enormous

manner there still was an enormous

manner there still was an enormous amount of pressure that built up and

amount of pressure that built up and

amount of pressure that built up and exploded but what surprised me was we

exploded but what surprised me was we

exploded but what surprised me was we actually saw an explosion of color as

actually saw an explosion of color as

actually saw an explosion of color as well at least for the first foot two

well at least for the first foot two

well at least for the first foot two foot and a half above the container so

foot and a half above the container so

foot and a half above the container so there you have it guys if you ever had a

there you have it guys if you ever had a

there you have it guys if you ever had a burning desire to know what would happen

burning desire to know what would happen

burning desire to know what would happen if you took hundreds of smoke bombs and

if you took hundreds of smoke bombs and

if you took hundreds of smoke bombs and burn them all together now you know

burn them all together now you know

burn them all together now you know thanks for joining us for this

thanks for joining us for this

thanks for joining us for this experiment I’ll be looking for you the

experiment I’ll be looking for you the

experiment I’ll be looking for you the next one talk to you them yeah these

next one talk to you them yeah these

next one talk to you them yeah these aren’t insulated gloves these are wrong

aren’t insulated gloves these are wrong

aren’t insulated gloves these are wrong gloves for the job yeah I play with fire

gloves for the job yeah I play with fire

gloves for the job yeah I play with fire you expect to get burned

you expect to get burned

you expect to get burned random happen

random happen

random happen [Music]
