I think you should try storm matches they will burn underwater because the have a strong oxidizer that produces enough oxygen to keep them burning. Keep up the excellent content Ben
Maybe a stupid question: will storm matches and things like that work without enough space? Water can be pushed away, not so resin. For example, under really high pressure you can heat up water way over 100°C and it's still liquid, because it has not enough space to get steam. I hope you understand what I mean, it's not that easy to describe, especially cause I'm not a native english speaker 😅
the matches work because of a hydrophobic coating my guess is that the resins getting soaked up into the sparklers during vacuum...I would set a broken 12v light bulb into the resin cast and use the element to ignite
Yes, mix some aluminum powder with some iron oxide powder. Press it down well in the tube and fill with more resin. If the heat of the resin harding does not cause it to burn your place down take it out side put the magnifying glass on it and call the fire department. Maybe you can add some magnesium to make a pretty light show.
i would recommend casting these in something square; it's possible your curved containers are causing some difficulty in actually focusing the beam well. Also, something with an oxidizer already. Great video though! Glad I came across your channel. Reminds me of Peter Brown but with more content!
Was about to suggest the same thing (making the casting and the void square that is). As far as I know, both match heads and sparklers do contain oxidizers, that's part of the definition of a pyrotechnic mixture. Mind you, it's been 25 years since I studied pyrotechnic chemistry, so I may not necessarily be remembering this correctly.
I love the lazer burn. You should cast a light prism dead center. Laser the top and burn through the resin at the tip of the prism. Clean out the burn marks and fill with clear resin and attach a light to the top. If it also retracts outward at the bottom, clean those and fill with clear 25% glitter. Try different prisms too
this is like my new fav channel because you are such a cool person and i love how even if things dont go how you thought you still get happy about learning :D
Been loving all the bonus content, and creative ideas you’ve been coming up with. Also wondering if casting a bunch of “strike anywhere” matches in resin, and then turning it on the lathe, if the friction from your tools (or sanding) would light them up. Probably a bit too dodgy to try though!
Usually it will, there's granulated glass in the mixture of strike-anywhere matches that provides enough friction heating when dragged against rough surfaces to ignite. Some you can drag across denim jeans and they'll ignite, some older style strike-anywheres will ignite spectacularly if you smash them with a hammer.
Thanks for the bonus Ben! I’m actually a little surprised that the sunlight doesn’t heat up the resin itself, even though it’s transparent. I just checked with my chemist brother-in-law and he said, even though it has an oxidizer in it, the sparkler still needs something external (like oxygen) to react with it to burn. So the one that burned down to the resin would stop once it had no air to react with.
Great video as always! Combustion is all about pressure, too much or too little and ignition becomes really tough. I was happy to see that once the laser burned a hole through the resin and the pressure equalized to atmospheric that the sparkler took off ☺️
Ben: "So making these blanks is going to be super easy" Me: "Barely an inconvenience" 8) Love your work Ben. Relaxes me when I watch you do your thing ❤️
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes Seen those little plastic lighters bust car windshields when people leave them on the dash on hot days lol, I mean, sure it isn't going to take the side of your house out lol, but i sure as hell wouldn't want to be holding it when it went off.
Hi Ben, as I saw this I thought it’ll been cool to give it a small void like maybe a paper clip size hole on the match cast in resin to give it a bit of room to ignite.
Something I see missing from these comments - this video seems like it's a little more polished than your usual videos, and I just wanted to say it looks great! Shame about the sparkler though.
I honestly have to say I did not think you were going to be able to get any of the sparklers to light because they usually seem to take a lot of heat before they go, but you got the one to go pretty cool my friend.
Another fantastic video man I’m new here and definitely want to try to make some stuff cause of you I have suggestion if you haven’t done yet put a hour glass in resin or make your own I think it would be awesome. Keep the great videos
I think only the first one will light. It is amazing that the resin was thick enough for you to put it in the pressure pot by holding the sparkler, yet the bubbles still were able to leave!
Waterproof matches like the suggestions I saw. Also, cylindrical shaped resin may be distorting the laser too much. Keep up the experiments! Always fun to watch
I am impressed. I seen in the comments that you have some waterproof and other ones coming as well. The one thing is the smoke leaking out of the lit match one. I wonder if you have a micro leak in the joint somewhere. If a burnt match and smoke would last it would be super cool to have one with a sign that say break in case of emergency for fire or something along that line. Though this one would have been spent!!!!
Now I’m just a layman so don’t quote me, I believe there’s this thing called “the fire pyramid/triangle” that explains this better. My understanding is that you’ll need 3 things to get a fire to ignite; heat source, combustible material and lastly oxygen. You have the first 2. Sun (heat source) & match head/sparkler (combustible material), which is why until you melted through the resin introducing oxygen into the mix you weren’t able to reach ignition. Please correct me if I’m wrong! I hope this helps.
Same as last time if you have O2 in the void it has a way to ignite. But the sparkler doesn’t ignite even outside of the resin it burns the surface of the powder on it. Still these are cool to watch. I love the experimenting part.
Try casting some fuse cord. There are some fuse cords out there that has no need for oxygen, and can burn underwater. Also, try some underwater matches.
Based on the fact no fire can occur without oxygen I would assume the laser torch went through the resin and punched a hole and ignited the sparkler which having now supplied with some oxygen went on fire (assuming also that there was very little oxygen left in the tube to maintain an ignition and burn). It was a great experiment no matter what. I love to see them. Keep them coming!
The melted resin chemically and physically extinguished them. It robbed heat from the reaction and melted into the composition. If you had a void inside it would likely burn because the resin can't interfere with the reaction that way.
Have you consider putting an ematch in with sparkler or something to setup ignition with out needing to risk burn through. also maybe a rocket engine, or thermite in resin, to see if you can get a run away burn.
Have a look at electric matches. Used in model rocketry, you could cast an electric match inside the cavity and ignite whatever is in there without having to use an external light/heat source through the resin.
Have you tried encasing objects printed in a Resin 3D printer (using UV cured resin) in the clear two part epoxy resin? I was bored at work and came up with what I think is a really cool idea but I need to know if there's any kind of bad reactions between the two different kinds of resins. Will the heat created by the Epoxy curing melt or warp the UV cured resin parts?
Have you seen the inside of a golf ball ?➡️ th-cam.com/video/16LGmQCnVKY/w-d-xo.html
HELLO BEN YOU HAD ME AT RESIN AND SPARKLERS I LOVED THE MATCH AND RESIN YOU DID I AM A HUGE FAN
there has to be oxygen 😂🤦🏽♀️
LOVE THE MUSIC TOO
MORE SPACE INSIDE FOR AIR
VERY COOL WITH LASER
I think you should try storm matches they will burn underwater because the have a strong oxidizer that produces enough oxygen to keep them burning. Keep up the excellent content Ben
i came to the comments to say this damit
I too thought the same! lol so many pyros !! lol I was thinking liquid oxygen... but changing the match should work just as well....

@@larsweibel6192 good point, the resin casing might explode due to expanding gasses
the matches work because of a hydrophobic coating my guess is that the resins getting soaked up into the sparklers during vacuum...I would set a broken 12v light bulb into the resin cast and use the element to ignite
Some of these suggestions are steadily progressing towards, "What if you just made a pipebomb out of resin?" :D
Next video idea? 👀👀
I think yes
Sounds fun.
Dang mate

Would a corn kernel pop inside of resin??
🙌
I like that idea too!
Good idea!
That is super cool how the laser actually burned through the resin like that.
Yeah it was cool to watch
It does kinda suck that the laser had to burn through the resin in order to ignite the sparkler though.
Science never fails to amaze . Another great video 👍
Man it feels awesome to be one of the people that suggested this. You da man!
Stack the inside full of only match heads without the sticks.
@@TsunauticusIV LOL! Nah but it'd be really cool to watch 😁
Sir that’s just called a bomb
An interesting thought. Might get a nice pop!
BOOM !
Hi, yes, question
Do you know what a pipe bomb is
i would recommend casting these in something square; it's possible your curved containers are causing some difficulty in actually focusing the beam well. Also, something with an oxidizer already. Great video though! Glad I came across your channel. Reminds me of Peter Brown but with more content!

Or directing the beam from the top, not the side.

Who would've thought that you need oxygen for combustion?
Anyone who paid attention in school
🤣 it was actually painful to watch
He covered that in the last video but everyone in the comments told him that he didn't. Guess he can't win.
Haha yeah
Sparklers and matches have their own oxidizer.
Ben, thank you for answering the smoke question 🤗
Great video, as always 😉🇦🇺👍

Vids like this are why I'm subbed to you. Part resin crafting part mythbusters. Great vid man
I think the one with voids bc they contain air. I'm so excited to find out!
Can you cast Jello or Jelly in Resin? What about watermelon?
Would it be possible to cast fairy lights that change colour or a small disco ball with retro style colours around it
Nick Zammeti did that on his channel but when he was doing lathe work he cut the cord and the lights didn't work. It's a fun video to see
Wow these videos never fail to keep me interested! Awesome experiment keep it up!
Thankyou 😊
I also just really appreciate you attention to detail btw

Love your work Ben. Relaxes me when I watch you do your thing ❤️
Video catagory crossovers are tight
Hmm I wounder did the smoke dissipate because the seal was not air tight or something else?
I love that you have been doing so many Experiments it’s Definitely been very interesting . I’m sure it s a nice break from the norm .
I think an epoxy enclosed terrarium would be super cool! Would make for great update videos too later on
I had high hopes for the sparkler partially encased. Great video
Thanks Mate, yeah me too
Thanks for the follow up on the smoke. So interesting.
It was so awesome 😊😊
What about a roadside flare?
Hmm, firecracker in a void with the wick protruding - oh wait, that's just a plastic pipe bomb. Still, that would look cool
Whats that annoying ticking sound.... Kinda catchy....
Oh wait its a pipe bomb
Yayyy
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes Seen those little plastic lighters bust car windshields when people leave them on the dash on hot days lol, I mean, sure it isn't going to take the side of your house out lol, but i sure as hell wouldn't want to be holding it when it went off.
shouldve put both a match and a sparkler in there use the match to light the sparkler to see if that works.
i was thinking this same thing!
It wouldn't work at all.
Try again with a match or sprinkler designed to work underwater as it should have its own oxygen. Great clips!
You should try casting a flare in resin and try to ignite it and maybe some stormproof matches too

Could you pop a kernel of corn in resin?
Love the bonus content, you are an amazing artist and Nicole is awesome for agreeing with me 😂 on last video
None of those really went like I expected. Another great vid!
I'm excited to see what the one sparkler does that's half in half out. Also I've never seen color sparklers before.
Science fact: fire cannot burn without air. I still enjoyed the video, no matter what!
Yes but some sparklers have their own oxidizers so people in the last video were saying it wouldn't be a problem.
@@hereandnow3156 I understand. Science is all about experiments, so that's the fun part.
Cool projects! Interesting results! Thanks Ben!
Love it when you make ship's in bottle. How about putting to pirate ship's at battle in a bottle?
Great surprise to see a video today! Great experiment also! Thanks for all your time putting together videos to share!
I never knew Korg made a youtube channel. I love it!
I honestly have to say I did not think you were going to be able to get any of the sparklers to light because they usually seem to take a lot of heat before they go, but you got the one to go pretty cool my friend.
Cast a ping pong ball. It produces its own oxygen when burning.

Hey Ben😃
Have to try, to be able to learn🙂
Thanks and Happy Weekend
Have you tried putting orbies in it yet?
They only absorb water...
I just love your "science experiments ".
Would be interesting to see you make a solid fuel rocket out of clear resin and set it up for a bench test.
There is a type of match that has the oxidizer as part of the match. Should try that one!
I really love your channe
l keep it up with a great ideas 🥳🥳❤️
Thankyou 😊
Good video, also I love the KISS shirt🤘
Ben, I’m really digging these mid week science experiments that you have been posting. Very cool. Will this be a regular thing?
You are very skilled at pouring that resin into those tiny tubes
Found your channel yesterday,been binge watching, great content.
This is dangerously edging towards a firework in resin . Love it.
Waterproof matches like the suggestions I saw.
Also, cylindrical shaped resin may be distorting the laser too much.
Keep up the experiments! Always fun to watch

BEN do you wear respirator mask when you are making stuff because I would like to get into this kind of stuff?
Yeah you should
Thank you
You are my favorite evil experimenter, and your photography skills are amazing!
Try casting some fuse cord.
There are some fuse cords out there that has no need for oxygen, and can burn underwater.
Also, try some underwater matches.
Try using ni-chrome wire for ignition...easy enough to put conductors between the 2 halves when you glue them together
What do you use to glue your blanks to the wood blank
Would it work better for the resin to be in a block instead of a cylinder, to keep the light from refracting?
As much fun as these videos are, I prefer the ones where you actually create something.
Can you cast 2 or more magnets in resin either pulling away or pulling towards each other?
Based on the fact no fire can occur without oxygen I would assume the laser torch went through the resin and punched a hole and ignited the sparkler which having now supplied with some oxygen went on fire (assuming also that there was very little oxygen left in the tube to maintain an ignition and burn). It was a great experiment no matter what. I love to see them. Keep them coming!
What if you submerge the match in the resin tube after lighting it to seal it off even more.. would the smoke last forever then?
Very cool bud. That new Lazer is freakin awesome. This was an interesting one. Can't wait to see what you do next
I am very new at this, what does the pressure chamber do?
Wow, I was expecting this to work way better. Thanks for trying! :D
Keep up the great work
Thanks Sarah
As soon as the resin deforms it blocks the concentrated light?
Ben: Maybe give the sparkler more air (bigger void). I think it used up the O2 really fast?
The melted resin chemically and physically extinguished them. It robbed heat from the reaction and melted into the composition. If you had a void inside it would likely burn because the resin can't interfere with the reaction that way.
What was that light used to light the sparkler???
Have you consider putting an ematch in with sparkler or something to setup ignition with out needing to risk burn through. also maybe a rocket engine, or thermite in resin, to see if you can get a run away burn.
You are the resin king
Try storm proof matches! They have there own oxidizer which allows them to burn underwater so maybe they’ll work in resin
Honestly, I'd probably try resin and accidentally have it blow up, so kudos to you.
What do you use for a "release"
So much fun to watch!
Have a look at electric matches. Used in model rocketry, you could cast an electric match inside the cavity and ignite whatever is in there without having to use an external light/heat source through the resin.
Small sealed ecosystem cast in resin. Will it survive the heat?
These videos are so interesting !
That's kinda weird, not sure about matches but sparklers should have their own oxidizer and therefore should still burn?
Do loads of match heads!!!
Loved it love your content dude keep the videos coming
Will a popcorn kernel pop when encased in resin then put in the microwave🤔

Hey man thanks! Exciting stuff.
Next you should try thermite encased in resin. That could have some awesome results
I'm curious, where do all of your experiment's go to die? Do you have a shelf of goodies or do you toss them out?
That is such a good idea
Thankyou
You should get some tritium rods and encase them in resin. They glow without the need to be charged and they look really cool.
