Why does the idea of a "single use instant hot dog" feel more sci-fi than teleportation
I'm curious about a hot dog with more than a single use. 😐
Because we discovered quantum tunneling before we invented the single use instant hot dog.
@@SecondaryHomunculus It is multi-use if you use it to play star wars
@@Gandhi_Physiquewith your best bud
@@SecondaryHomunculus Dear God, I can't comprehend it, yet I can't unsee it at the same time
“If you want to see a grilled version of this, let us know in the comments.”
Why, yes. Yes I would.
I mean if disposable vapes are a thing I can't see why you can't put a hotdog in a heated coil.
Obviously we want a grilled version what are we, poor?
Vote me in too.
Same
Seems like that would be too easy. Batteries and wire = grilled hotdog. Boiling with thermite is definitely crazier than that.
This feels like the kind of thing that gets brought up as a minor plot point in a funny sci-fi story that's used at the climax when the protagonist remembers that there's thermite in the heater.
When it's introduced to the hero, someone says not to look at it
It's used as a Cheklov's flashbang in the finale
This is amazing because it is better storytelling then 90% of modern story telling and was made off a little creativity and a thermite hot dog cooker.
The protagonist is in a damaged ship deep in space. Federation ships have done enough damage to their ship to render its fusion reactor inoperable, completely cutting all power to the ship. The federation is closing in and are just about to capture the ship to transport it to their prisoner system. The protagonist is locked in the cockpit, the doors sealed shut without power. All they have in the room with them is a military ration kit and an emergency fusion battery, which just minutes ago amongst the fighting shattered after a rough impact, throwing glass everywhere and snapping the delicate electronics inside. This battery is the protagonist’s last hope. They plug it into the control panel’s circular intake slot but nothing-the fusion battery is too damaged to make a proper connection. Federation ships finally close the distance and are getting into position to latch onto the disabled craft. The protagonist paces around the room, eyeing the battery and the ration kit. Suddenly, a moment of inspiration strikes. They rip open the ration kit and rummage around, looking for something specific. They grip the single-use instant hot dog and yank it from the bag. They smash the hot dog against the console, spilling water onto the floor and sending the hot dog flying. They take a loose piece of metal from the console and yank it loose, using the sharp tip to undo the screws and seams at the base of the instant hot dog. The device is ripped open and thermite powder pours onto the protagonist’s hand. They shake out the rest and cup it in their palm and assemble it inside the fusion battery, coating two broken pieces of electronics inside the battery and pressing them together. The protagonist fishes the igniter from inside the instant hot dog and pinches it with their finger, striking the tiny sharp igniter against the thermite powder. A burst of light and a small fire immediately emerges, burning the protagonist’s fingers in the process, but they still hold the broken pieces together. The thermite burns brightly and disappears just as fast, welding the broken components back together. The protagonist then carefully grabs the fusion battery and slots it into the control panel, and the lights and readouts on the panel spring to life. The battery begins spinning and wobbling with instability, but the roar of the engines in the back of the ship emerges just before the Federation secures the ship. The protagonist immediately shoves the thruster’s lever forward and the ship zips off

I was going to say Japan is where you'll find these things already existing.

This is so stupid, yet awesome and funny at the same time. Well done.
"Single-Use Instant Hot Dog" might be the finest string of words I've read all month.
"38 mm."
1:11 As a child, I remember visiting some family friends on a road trip to Mondovi, WI and the man of the house was watching some sporting event in a recliner kicking back and eating hot dogs one-by-one cold right out of the package.
I was flabbergasted - as we'd only prepared them boiled or cooked on a grill - the idea of eating them "raw" was a real shocker to me.
He noticed me gawking and turned, held the package out to me and said "Oh, I'm sorry, where are my manners - would you like one?!?"
They were really such nice and polite people!
TIP: Switching to your tactical hotdog is quicker than reloading.
To make a grilled version it is possible to create a plasma lighter set up where you use multiple cathodes and diodes in the tube and build a grease trap into the base. The plasma(electricity) should instantly cook the hotdog and collect the grease in the bottom as the hotdog "sweats".
We need the grilled version. You could use super capacitors to heat a heating element very quickly and you can recharge it very fast.
I don't know how feasible supercapacitors are for this project, but they're definitely safer than thermite, to the point this thing could probably be sold commercially (though I can't imagine who would buy it for anything but a one-time gag).
@@dryued6874I mean if they're cheap enough and I want to go on a road trip: instant grilled hot dogs would be perfect for stopping at a rest stop and having a snack.
Imagine a shelf stable version that was self contained in a vending machine or something.
If it's cheap enough, and it comes with bun and condiments and it roasts the bun too, it would be awesome.
A few decades ago, I worked at a small shop where one of the guys put two large nails through a piece of wood, then connected the stripped positive and negative ends of a standard electrical cord to each nail, then bridged the two nails with a hotdog before plugging the cord into a wall outlet. Yes, he was aware of how dangerous it was, but it was surprising at how well it worked. (They didn't have much of a break area and there was no microwave.)
A channel called Bigclive has a couple videos on the commercial equivalent of that
I mean, as long as you 1. don't touch it while plugged in and 2. don't blow the fuse, you should be fine..?
Not that I'd recommend this but there is probably less safe things you could be doing.
this is (kinda) how panko bread crumbs are made. they use electricity to cook the bread from the inside out
They made devices that did this in the late 50s and early 60s.
They aren't really dangerous provided the device is designed so the user could come in contact with the live 120v spikes the hot dogs are attached to. For whatever reason it seems that would curve the hot dog in these devices which led to the hot dogs often breaking. It seems they had a metal strip in the lid to complete the circuit as a safety. Other than setting off a smoke detector by burning up a hot dog the hot dog itself becomes the fuse so it's relatively safe but it seems youd be left with half charred electrocuted hot dog half the time. A cool gimmick but kind of overkill for a hot dog. Especially when you can grill hotdogs in your kitchen with a foreman grill now.
A few weeks ago, I had this idea of a self-cooking hotdog. Now, youtube recommends me this video. I love it!
i got absolutely flashbanged at least 8 times and i still kept watching
I love how when I first watched this channel it was about neurons, radiation, and cosmic rays and now it's "We cook hotdog fast with chemicals." And I'm all for this silliness.
We're one step closer to the Cowboy Beebop instant ramen.
There are a few brands of instant hot pot and noodles that use a commercial flameless ration heater. Kind of expensive, and a lot slower (about 15 minutes to heat to boiling), but very cool and very safe. They're marketed for camping.
Termite Ramen for the win.
All you need to do is replace the hotdog with the noodles. They just made something that boils water very fast, the hotdog was just the particular thing they put in it
@@mind_onion not quite, you want to keep noodles dry until you cook them or your just going to have starchy water. Though yes the termite is just a way to heat up the water. One that is self contained and needs very specific energy to ignite.
@@lexiryka3550 If desired, mechanically separating the water and the noodles in a way that fails upon activation also seems pretty trivial. You'd just need to mechanically move some kind of barrier only very slightly. This seems not very difficult to implement, given the heating device, but I bet there are economic concerns that make the product nonviable. You'd need to somehow scam people into thinking that somehow the noodles are healthier prepared this way or something to justify the inflated price like they do with bottled water.
This is only one application away from getting you listed as a no-flight risk and I'm here for it.
When it hits temp, have a thermo-coupler open a value to drain the water and tighten a coil around the dog to sear it with a final charge.
Haha he rolled a thermite blunt

9:16 I love how they censored the front of the box but the moment they open it you can see the brand of the box along with the link to where to buy it
Shhhhh
I think it was supposed to be a joke
If you want a fuse for lighting thermite, it's surprisingly easy. What worked for me was dissolving 20g of sugar and 20g of potassium nitrate in hot water, dripping that water over a paper towel, and letting it dry. I call this "fuse paper", and I've used it for over a year to light thermite mixtures.
Of course we'd love a grilled version

In the 70's, there was an electric hotdog cooker called the Presto Hotdogger. It worked by using the hotdog as a bridge between an anode and a cathode to fry it from the inside out with electricity. That might be a good starting point for a grilled hotdog cooker.
the "tissue paper" you used in the design certainly confirms the origin of this particular idea

I do have a suggestion for improving this (though perhaps not the cost!) using silver instead of copper for the inner tube would provide superior thermal conductivity and not require electroplating.

Just a heads up about that low-temp aluminum solder. That soldering alloy has these hazard statements:
CLP/GHS Classification (1272/2008):
Acute Toxicity -- Inhalation, Category 2
Germ Cell Mutagenicity, Category 2
Carcinogenicity, Category 1B
Reproductive Toxicity, Category 2
Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure), Category 1
Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment -- Acute Hazard, Category 1
Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment -- Long Term Hazard, Category 1
Which pretty much means it has a significant portion of cadmium in it. The import ban into the EU is also a pretty good indicator despite them sort of scrubbing their msds sheets in North America.
I had a look at that and couldn't find out what the other ingredients are. Whatever they are, I would not be happy with just covering cadmium with a thin electroplating of nickel.
yay yummy cadmium!
Woof, cadmium is no joke
It even says cadmium on the product safety sheet under the Toxicological Information section...
definitely not food safe
'Reproductive Toxicity'? never seen that one, what is that tested on? Rabbit?
This looks like something that would be used as a grenade during an April Fools event
You can modulate burn speed of thermite by changing the grain size of the ingredients. I'm not sure how far you can push it but surely worth checking out. You could also try different degrees of packing.
