@@ianbuilder yes magnesium burns very white and very hot. Your welding helmet should be dark enough to handle it though. If it's an automatic one sometimes certain conditions like daylight can trick some helmets into not going dark. Or sometimes super bright but quick flashes will cause it not to darken. If you are using a permanently dark helmet you should probably be using a 9 filter at least.

Ha ha! I was researching strikers and lo and behold it led me to a NightHawkinLight video! Don't know how I missed this one... this is a real treat. Hat off to Ian for the idea and Ben for the upgraded realization. Thanks for the fantastic distraction!

My first thought would have been to swage out the tube to match the rods so the sanding/machining is only done once. Make a pointy steel rod of proper size, oil it up, and press into the end of the tube. Also this cannon combined with the propane pop gun from a while back (one with clear spiral tube that fire travels through) ought to make for an interesting reusable firework of sorts!

I’ve been wanting to build one of these since I was like 10 years old. I’ve also been watching since your original pyrotechnic days. Keep up the great work man.

I can imagine someone walking up with that asking if you need help starting a campfire.

Sparks are always so mesmerising to look at. They're always so pretty.

YES, FINALLY, someone who knows the difference between flint and ferrocerium. Flint is a type of quartz by the way, and both flint and quartz are allotropes of silicon. While ferrocerium is an alloy of magnesium, iron, neodymium, lanthanum, cerium, and praseodymium. I'm just thrilled to see someone else who knows and acknowledges the difference between these two materials beside me.

Just so many great projects.

Absolutely awesome project, and beautiful camera shots there! One note, perhaps it's not the greatest idea to be firing this over all those pine needles, I know first hand how much those like to catch fire XD keep it up!

Very interesting video. Ferro cerium is such a cool material, recently I made ferrocerium tipped arrows, a bit of setup work but when they impact a target they make a huge explosion of sparks.

What did you do to piss off the algorithm? This kind of video is EXACTLY what should get 1m+ views.

Imagine a kinda monster survival FPS game, and this is one of the weapons you can use to deter a big monster from coming for you

This is a really cool build. Shooting sparks does look awesome. However, PVC pipe is not made for compressed air and can explode. A steel tank is much safer.

Fire? Flamethrowers? Burning metal? Oh HELL YES! Liked before even watching.

❤️ very nice video. I guess the sparks are a bit to bright for a nice closeup on the nozzle but I bet it would look amazing. Wonder about the campfire lighting capabilities of the device. And yes (to everyone how want to outsmart me) I know that the torch it self would be better way off doing so. Thanks again!

yoo great idea

Really awesome video, quite the pyrotechnic display! I do have to second some of the safety notes other people have had. Considering this was released just after a horrendous wildfire season (with many fires started by people being careless), please, please people: be careful when you use things that shoot off sparks! The other thing I'd note is that it's probably a good idea to have a pressure safety valve on the air tank. The gauge is great and all, but you really don't want to have a pvc pressure vessel become over-pressurized and explode on you.

Spectacular

Honestly would like to see this done with some fine Ti. The spark should be cooler and safer than FeCe. Another idea i got from this video was to make a Homemade Cold Spark machine. not 100% sure how it would be done but it would be cool ! That and a Flame projector would be also pretty sweet !

No eyepro. You're a savage my man!

3:33 when you appy some Gold Pine Resin

Does anyone know the music artist and song title in this one? Thank you.

Here's another idea, and a question... First, when heating a piece of ferrocerium, as soon as it starts glowing you can take away the heat source and it will continue to get brighter and brighter ( the question is HOW/WHY??? ) and as it gets brighter it becomes more unstable and the slightest disturbance will set it off. When trying to launch a piece with a slingshot the rapid acceleration and/or the air friction sets it off. The idea is to heat it just to the point where it will continue getting brighter without the heat source and launch it while it's still stable enough to do so without immediately exploding so that as it's flying through the air it eventually gets to the point where the air friction sets it off at some point in its trajectory. Does that make sense? The idea is that you would not see anything leaving the launcher but at some altitude/distance away, it would explode into a shower of sparks.....

Thank you sir Namaste I look fom Kathmandu Nepal

Yissss, another pyro wesley crusher video.

THIS IS MORE LIKE A HAND CANON, AWESOME JOB MAN AND GREAT EXPLANATION

I think this was really cool. The only way I would alter it is to shoot the rod whole and have it explode on impact.

Hey nighthawk, coming from someone experienced in modified bullets...ferrocerium can be fully ignited without preheating...provided the velocity is high enough upon impact. Use to put lighter flints in .22 hollow point pellet rifle pellets and shoot those around as a neat party trick

@alexjavanainen4259

3 жыл бұрын

Since you actually saw this (and I’m extremely excited/humbled) I thought that I should add that the high velocity method of ignition works in much larger scale as well. I’ve gone as far as machining whole “tips” from a store bought ferro-rod and attaching that to .50caliber muzzleloader hollow points (with extra deep/wide hole drilled to allow for more ferrocerium insertion/increased stability). Friction fit and Super glue was enough to hold it in place. When I shot those things....good lord my man....it’s on another level entirely O_o I have photos and video if you are personally interested

@alexjavanainen4259

3 жыл бұрын

When shot against a hard target, the modified ferrocerium.50cal (out of a muzzle loader) made about a 10-15ft ring of brilliant white hot sparks, with some pieces going well to above 10x that. Truly visually spectacular but terrifying as well. It was a real pain to machine as well since ferrocerium behaves more like a ceramic than a metal, and small chunks of that “ceramic” are pyrophoric. I also only had a hand drill to use as a “lathe” for final shaping (using files and sandpaper) after being affixed to the bullet. (I would put the whole bullet in the chucks of the hand drill and spin it while using sandpaper to shape the ferrocerium tip and make sure the tip was “true” to center of rotational axis)
