Exactly my though in 2021. I saw 8 years ago and I was amazed.

To those interested in the chemistry: copper, when heated in a flame by itself, gives off the greenish color you see at first. When chlorine is also present in the flame, the emmission will become blue instead. Vinyl tubing is polyvinyl chloride, which gives off hydrochloric acid when it burns. Any PVC plastic will work. The chlorine in the acid vapor gives the pretty, blue color. This is the same principle used in blue fireworks. Chlorine is also used in green fireworks along with barium, which burns white without it. Copper is not used for green, since barium green is much more brilliant. Strontium, used for red, will work without chlorine, but the color will be deeper if it's present.

thank you sooo much!!! i was on this festival and there was a fire and somebody vomited into it and then the flames turned all those brilliant colors! .... now your comment was the last puzzle piece of the riddle! i figured it out it was the chlorine from the stomach acid (probably along with some minerals or irons in the wood/nails in the wood or something .... but the chlorine part from the stomach acid thats the point! ..... everyone vomit into fire, it becomes beautiful!!) xDD

Thanks for this, took me 15 minutes to make and we've just spent the last few hours at the fire pit enjoying the colors (used 6 pieces of hose!!!) Something to smile about during these weird times we live in.

Now that's what i call a COOL dad, :-D

It was pretty awesome when we were 6-8 years old watching ol Mearl’s magic fire. He was our neighbor. An ol wwii vet that was a great friend and neighbor.

WHO DOES THE EDITING AND CAMERA WORK FOR THIS GUY??? this is really high quality. And what camera setup is he using? It's crystal clear.

We've done this for years, but never thought to drill the holes in it, we just let it color out the ends! this is a great tip!

Thanks for the tip! I always just threw in some old copper wires that were damaged and couldn't be used for other projects. But now I have something I can reuse. Thanks again!

Oh thank you again! We did this last night at our Easterin' campfire. It was stunning! Everyone enjoyed it tremendously! We put a large piece of cedar with a big branch sticking up and the colorful flames went up the branch too! Really really cool!!!!

Thank you for sharing this! In my neck of the woods we have a camping event we call Easterin'. We have bought that commercial fire colorant but it is so pricey. This is going to be great!

Wow! That fire looks very pretty, thanks for the info!!!

When I was a kid in Michigan my neighbor used to have magic camp fires when we would go camping and salmon fishing in Michigan. I remember being told when I got older he used copper pipe and garden hose of some sort lol.

That's awesome! 💗😍 What a cool dad!

Love your video! Thank you for the tutorial! People's comments on this are ridiculous though! I love what you've done here - very creative & ingenious!

This feels like a video from the 90s~ very nostalgic for someone that isn't born in that era~

This video really exceeded my expectations. Almost ASMR but it was to interesting to fall asleep to.

Thanks! I'm planing to build one for this summer

Superb video. I'm doing this!

He was going to make his fire in the dark! He couldn't see if any explosive, toxic or living things were going up in flames and would probably trip over his fire before it got lit. He didn't point out that safety issue.

Inform yourself about some firework chemistry, there are some salts and stuff you can buy in powder form for sometimes fairly cheap. Throw that in the flame instead (start with small amounts, different ones burn differently, if it sais Oxide in the end it propably burns really well and always only small amounts of magnesium since it burns super bright and might make you blind if you look right into a large flame)

That was my first thought, too...until I started to make one on my own and realized very quickly why he did it that way. You want the garden hose to easily slide out (but not too easily) after the fire has burned it long enough for the colors to fade, in order to continue using the copper pipe with a new section of garden hose, to produce colors again...rather than building an entirely new one each time you want to use it. If you pinch the ends too tightly, you won’t be able to get the used section of hose out of the pipe without a lot of work, or by cutting the bottom with a saw. But, I totally agree with you....everything about that giggle was lovable. He’s like your goofy uncle who always has a way to teach you new things by using items around the house, but when you reach high school age you pretend you’re too cool for that stuff now....and claim to be bored....but you’re really not bored, and he knows that too, so he keeps doing his lessons regardless of how much of a dick you’re being, in order to let you feel cool, but still learn from the experiments. Then 10 years later you find yourself in the garage with your little son, doing all of your uncle’s experiments with him, because your uncle passed away, and you’re keeping his memory alive through your own kids -- Or, I’ve just been listening to way too much Country Music lately, combined with quarantine, and also my uncle died last week.

Great video. thanks. About how long will the color change last?

Cool!! I definitely plan to try. Any weather conditions recommended? This will be my first time building a fire by myself without any help. Also, what would you recommend besides potassium salts to get the fire more violet/purple? And is it safe to add the copper with potassium salts and strontium nitrate?

What a lovely father and son bonding moment ❤❤❤thank you for sharing!

thank uuuu!!!!! I was wondering if I could use the packets on a candle

That looks awsome🤩 i wish youd post some more of these videos and, i dont know If you made this type of video yet, i want you to make a grey kind of fire

This was really neat. I bought packets to put on a bonfire recently and it was a big hit but of course we couldn't roast food over that one either. So we roasted first and then burned a couple packets. And I agree with the recommendation in your video description. Once in a while is fine just not all the time.

There's been a large amount of comments from people claiming that burning this is harmful for you. Please read the disclaimer in the video description to clarify what I have found from research about this before you do this project.

Excellent comment!

Im down with the sickness!!

I'm installing vinyl siding on the garage and have a ton of scraps so I decided to try it out. Really surprised at the results. The only thing is the smoke is pretty toxic because of the chlorine but just sit farther away to make sure.

That's dope

DOES IT GIVE OFF A BAD SMELL, THANKS FOR VIDEO SIR

I just made mine for this weekend but I got a two foot pipe you think I should cut it in half and make two.!? If I cut it into two would there be more color or the same amount

8:44 i thought he said bring it to your fucken water 😂

Could you make a flame throwing staff with one of these???

Can you use it more than once

Do you know a way generate colored smoke, ideally orange, as a distress call?

Does this work with any garden hose?

Hi, may i know how long will the colour of the fire last?

My brother gave me one once, I don't know where he got it but he didn't make it himself. He did say it had to be a Rubber hose. Was yours? Or does vinyl work too?

How long do you think it can stay in there until the color wears off?

What can we use instead of gardening hose

How long does this have to burn to start getting the color?

Interesting. Definitely some risks of toxins, but that is acknowledged. The green/blue are probably from the copper, but I find it interesting that there appears to be potassium present (purple).

Aerochunck Purple also exists in the emission spectrum of copper, as do many other colors. Not to mention many other elements and compounds emit purple, not just potassium.

If my campfire is big,what is the length of the copper pipe i shold use?

How long does this last in the flames?

I'mma do this for block party

Dragon fire!

That's easy....magic mushrooms. :)

How long does it last?

My brother gave me one once, I don't remember where he got it, I don't think he made it himself, but he said it has to be a Rubber hose. Is that what you used?

You should put more than one in. More colors

cool father

Is the hose making toxic smoke?

If I were to make one of these, I would try to make a loop somehow.

How many times can you do this? Can you load up another hose inside the copper again after the first time?

@RyanRakowski

yes as long as you have more hose you can continue to do this.

@krissykozzy

Copper specifically reacts with the flame to give green/blue hues. Other elements react differently (eg Lithium = bright red, sodium = yellow) but they are harder to access and usually don't come in a form as easily handled and manipulated as a pipe. This is how different coloured fireworks function as well. Don't know about the hose though, sorry.

surely itd be easier to add liquefied copper to the fire, right? im genuinely asking, im not sure
