Hey Matt , a little correction, oxygen is not inflammable but it makes other things burn. Things that normally would not burn. It was not the oxygen burning, it was the steel and the bullet. Basically you created a very powerful and highly concentrated thermite jet. That's why the holes were that big. It burnt the iron in the tank. It can also be used as an solid-liquid hybrid rocket fuel. Edit:- After a research I believe that it was not thermite Jet but burnt ferrous/ ferric oxide jet aka rust. Still I believe the temperature was close to the thermite since in thermite it's usually aluminium that gets oxidized. Still this is really interesting. Also petition to Matt to make a hybrid rocket out of it.
@@Cringistan yes but NO2 needs to be exposed to high temperatures before it will release the O2. So split second heat from a bullet won't be enough to ignite NO2
@@MrBenTheBear Isn’t oxygen an oxidizer? Much in the same way NO2 (nitrous oxide) works for car engines, helping the fuel burn faster and more completely but not actually “combusting” itself?

Oxygen by it's self is not flamable but it makes any combustable more so. the three side of the fire triangle are heat, fuel and oxygen. Your bullet hit provided enough heat to make the steel fuel in the presence of excessive oxygen when the tank ran out there was not enough oxyegen to keep the reaction going.
@@yowtfputthemaskbackon9202 Metal fires are crazy and exceptionally hot. Just look at thermite. It uses a metal oxide as fuel (commonly aluminum powder), requires high heat to start, but is pretty much impossible to put out cause it is self oxidizing. In this case oxygen is liberated from Iron Oxide (rust). It burns at around 2200 degrees Celsius.

Matt lets see the tanks counter part. Get a acetylene tank. Definitely a step up and very dangerous. Acetylene is highly unstable and does not tolerate high pressures most tanks are well under oxy tanks ( about 250) Psi. All acetylene cylinders contain a porous honeycomb material called a monolithic mass. They also contain a solvent (acetone) which is absorbed by the porous mass. The acetylene dissolves in the acetone and holds the acetylene in a stable condition. Very interesting stuff.
It's pretty much standard procedure to deploy snipers to puncture acetylene tanks in burning buildings. This is to release the pressure and prevent the tanks from exploding.
The shock heat of the penetrating round was enough to reach the ignition point of the tanks in the pure oxygen volume that then began incinerating the tank metal as it rushed out the hole. The *metal* was the fuel that was burning.
It's basically the principal behind a hybrid rocket. Which also explains why the tank twisted around so violently - you have a plume of burning steel and pressurized oxygen being expelled from one side of the tank, which produces enough thrust to tear the whole thing from its mounting.
Think on how an Oxyacetylene cutting torch works. Oxyacetylene flame to heat up the metal, then pull the trigger to send a blast of pure oxygen to actually burn the metal away.
well that's because the cannon goes into the ground and stops, the oxygen tank would go through a tree and/or set everything in a 10 foot radius on fire
Would need a hell of a round. But it would be awesome!! Gonna need bigger than 50 bmg. So bigger tank bigger bullet = bigger boom. Plus with it even a 1/4 the way full you would need to be pretty far away.
you should wrap the O2 tank in an energy-dense fuel/material. Once it lights the oxygen will burn it all up instantly, creating a backyard sun. Slightly dangerous and might actually burn down half of Texas... but I'm sure it'd make an epic video!!
The "fuel" for the torch was the metal, that was burning. When it is hot enough, oxygen lets it burn brightly. Oxygen itself isn't flammable, there must be some "unburnt matter" around. Grease for example is self-ignited in pure oxygen.
Quick note: Oxygen itself is actually not flammable but is one of the key components to burning anything. So what you saw here was the metal itself burning but in a SUPER oxygen rich environment which causes it to ignite much more easily and burn very rapidly and very VERY hot. This is why you use oxyacetylene to cut through metal because its burning the metal and acetylene much hotter and more efficiently. Never expected to see the perfectly circular holes, that was super wild!
Sheldon Cooper as a child tried to get fissionable material to make a mini nuke power electric device to power up the house. Some men from the government showed up to tell Sheldon its a big no for yellow cake.
For everyone not knowing what was going on, simple breakdown; -Iron getting rusty = exothermic reaction a.k.a. it makes heat -Iron getting rusty = Oxygen bonds with Iron -Heating up chem. reaction = makes it happen faster So... you shoot it (put really hot iron (bullet hole) into contact with pure oxygen) and watch chain reaction of it getting hotter and oxidizing faster so it will get even hotter and oxidize even faster... until it gets so hot that iron starts to burn (vaporize). Saw that black smoke? That was burnt iron.
@@nowayjerk8064 No he's actually right about this one. When you use a blowtorch it will oxididize the metal, not melt it. The fine dust you'll find around your feet (or in your shoes if you forget to move them) is actually rust. What happened here was like a blowtorch, but on steroids. Check it up if you don't believe us, I would qoute directly from my old textbooks from my welding classes, but as they are in Swedish I guess they won't do you any good :)
@@hehy3292 He's absolutely correct. Oxygen is an oxidizer not a fuel. What's burning is not the oxygen but everything around it that get raised to its ignition temperature and is rapidly oxidized in the presence of the pure O2. Was a combustion systems engineer in the early years of my career as a thermodynamisist.
Had my college instructor tell me a story. When he was in high school, an oxygen tank was knocked over in their shop class, the regulator and valve broke and the tank went through two cinder block walls. These things are not to be messed around with at all.
I actually saw that happen in a sign shop in the mid 90's. A tank fell over, hit the edge of a table, knocking off the valve. The tank shot 30 -35 feet across the shop and through the back wall, where it luckily buried itself in a big pile of dirt.
Back in 2008 I had a propane tank explode and send me down a 15 foot ravine. Luckily some granite boulders caught me and destroyed my knee. Compressed gasses are absolutely no joke. If you think you're far enough away, you're not
Oxygen is not flammable but in the compressed liquid form it makes pretty much anything it comes in contact with highly flammable. The fire coming out of the tank was not the oxygen on fire but the actual metal of the tank on fire, which explains why your metal was melting and “welding”.
This. But I think in this case, the oxidizer was Nitrous Oxide, not oxygen. The tank was color coded with US/ISO blue, not the international green or green/white identifying the contents as oxygen. You couldn’t even fill O2 into a N2O canister unless you changed the valve.
Yup, was going to post that but checked to see if anyone else did first. Do it again, but with much better camera, catching it as slowly as possible. Even better if you have multiple with multiple angles.
He should ask the slowmo guys "Hey i'm gonna shoot a high preasur oxygen thank, wana place your extremly expensive camera feet away from it and record it when burning steel obliterates anything it touch? The tank probably woun't land on the camera"
Years ago the lumber yard in my hometown caught on fire. This was bad enough but it was across the alley from the local hospital which had all of their gas products in a long narrow enclosure by the lumber yard. When the fire squad got there they just started grabbing oxygen and anesthesia cylinders and setting them rolling down the alley. Afterwards they were questioned on why they did that and didn’t they think it was dangerous to do it. The reply was no more dangerous than having 150 bottles of flammable product in a burning shed. When they rebuilt they put the product in a cinder block shed and later on they built a hospital that wasn’t in the middle of downtown. Forty five years later my father in law, who was a rookie on the squad still claimed that to be the most frightening call he ever went on. Fire and compressed gas definitely is not a good combination.
If I remember right, from my msds orientation in my chem program, the oxygen itself isn’t catching on fire. The steel of the tank is rapidly oxidizing/burning as the gas is exposed to it following the “spark” provided by the apit round. Kind of the same concept as a thermic lance. Still badass, though.
Matt, please treat yourself to a high speed camera, either a Chronos or a Phantom! :-) also the endgame should be an Oxy tank heavily strapped and chained to an Acetylene tank, laying in the bed or a truck or something and shoot an APIT round through both at the same time, so the massive hole in both tanks causes the gases to mix in a fiery way!
Oxygen is not flammable. It is the metal that lit on fire because it was being supplied so much oxygen. The metal is the burning fuel, and the oxygen is the oxidizer.
I was hoping someone would point that out. The fire at Welders' Supply near downtown Dallas on July 25, 2007 was caused by a crack in a valve on an oxygen bottle in the middle of a load being delivered. The friction of the leaking oxygen heated the metal to the point of ignition. Once the first tank lit off, all anybody could do was run for safety. th-cam.com/video/SyUVswUkEIA/w-d-xo.html
Exactly. What happent to the oxygen tank and the poles was effectively an oxygen (thermal) lance. th-cam.com/video/rSpXJJ-ris8/w-d-xo.html The massive steel was the fuel.
.. and the concrete. Must have hit 4000 degrees +? Of course the pipes caught the incendiary slug so there were some extra fuels and oxidizers in the mix AND massive energy dissapation . Anyway it was pretty exciting .
@@jakehighland929 Cause oxigen won’t explode by itself. The bullet is the flame (that oxygen only accelerates as oxygen doesn’t burn). So with no bullet the worst thing that can happen is oxygen poisoning which was highly unlikely.
I love this! Beautiful. Firework chemist here - metal is a "fuel". Get it with oxygen and the two together make fire. In other words, the metal BECOMES the torch. I'm still blown away by this demo. Love.
It's the carbon in the steel that's burning. Your standard cutting rig oxygen and any fuel gas will burn anything with carbon in it, that's why you can't burn non ferrous metals like al copper etc..
@@ch3no2killz Nonsense. Pure high-pressure oxygen means burning iron - that's how you get the neat hole, it's not cut or molten but burned (not sure why the back hole isn't quite as neat - maybe due to the pipes diffusing the oxygen stream). You can burn pretty much any metal in a pure oxygen atmosphere (short of stuff like gold, maybe), yes, copper, too. It (copper) won't burn in standard atmosphere because there's not enough energy in the reaction to keep up the necessary temperature (but it still corrodes slowly) and iron (obviously corroding, too) may burn in standard atmosphere if the structure is fine enough and there's enough air around it (iron wool for example - even that's not great in standard atmosphere, though, it just sort of smolders a bit). Carbon in steel doesn't make much of a difference in the reaction. And a high pressure/high velocity oxygen supply will make even solid iron structures burn. Btw. look up magnesium torches for non-ferrous metals burning like hell. Even chews up water molecules to supply oxygen to the flame, for under-water fiery goodness. Or aluminium powder in iron oxide, makes thermite with the iron oxide supplying the oxygen (aluminium will burn in standard atmosphere, too, if you do it right). I kind of wonder now why the iron/oxygen torch stopped burning. I think it was extinguished when the oxygen supply stopped but I guess it could have been cooled down by the water, too.
@@ch3no2killz funny you should say that. Aluminum is the primary fuel in many fireworks and so is copper to a lesser degree. and titanium and zink and magnesium.
What is the biggest commercial grade firework shell he could shoot? Especially if he used a red and silver tip from about 300 yards away it should create one hell of a fireball and boom.
I'm no pro but I've done my fair share of science and chemistry class, I think what happened is this : so oxygen isn't flammable, it's an oxidizer. It is required in a combustion, but it's not a fuel. However there is a combustion happening as we can see I believe it's the iron of the bottle that burns. Just like sparks fly when you grind steel or iron, here the bottle is being ground by the friction of the oxygen escaping, and because pure oxygen really powers up the combustion it makes this extremely high energy flame that melted your pipe.
What do u think the skit should be I think the fence seince(king of hill normal intro)with dale pulling out the grill and getting mad Cuz he cant get it to work and goes and gets his gun with tracer rounds to get it to lite. Hank freakout running up to dale. Dale gets scared drops the gun and shoots the tank.

@@wolfecanada6726 when slow mo guys first came out, I remember an episode of achievement hunter with angry Michael, he had idiot Gavin on and I was really, really confused.
I love your videos! Oxygen isn't flammable, and wasn't burning. The metal tank itself was burning and the abundance of oxygen allowed the metal to burn as fuel. Also, the flame didn't shoot out like propane does, because unlike propane, oxygen does not burn. IDEA: Get a tank of propane AND a tank of oxygen and toy around with piercing both simultaneously! That may well send you and the ranch into orbit. :)
Adding to this - the flame doesn't continue farther out (as it would with escaping propane) because, as noted above, it is the steel of the tank that is burning, not the oxygen. The steel remained... at the tank... hence why the flame (the molten iron oxide) only shot out as far as it was being flung by the escaping oxygen gas.
@@TheEquinoxeHD This is quite similar to thermal lance (high pressure oxygen blown thru steel tube) which is quoted (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_lance) to have temperature depending on situation between 4500 °C - 2700 °C
You want him to shoot a Mk82 which is filled with tritonol explosive, which will not explode very easily with just being shot, even with a .50 cal. You would need an HEI round.
I think why he was so excited on the tank that exploded first was he was a little bit excited that it actually exploded but he was more excited that it didn't shoot off like a rocket into the woods

Your bullet hit provided enough heat to make the steel fuel in the presence of excessive oxygen when the tank ran out there was not enough oxyegen to keep the reaction going.
so you are telling me that that wasnt oxygen burning but that that was actualy the steel itself on fire? thats cool af
If oxygen was flammable the earth would be in flames, and probably not even alive anymore.
That! I was wondering when will he realize not the oxygen melted the steel, but the steel itself was burning in the presense of oxygen.
@@yuyu900726 17:02 he was so close
@@yowtfputthemaskbackon9202 Metal fires are crazy and exceptionally hot. Just look at thermite. It uses a metal oxide as fuel (commonly aluminum powder), requires high heat to start, but is pretty much impossible to put out cause it is self oxidizing. In this case oxygen is liberated from Iron Oxide (rust). It burns at around 2200 degrees Celsius.

Matt lets see the tanks counter part. Get a acetylene tank. Definitely a step up and very dangerous. Acetylene is highly unstable and does not tolerate high pressures most tanks are well under oxy tanks ( about 250) Psi. All acetylene cylinders contain a porous honeycomb material called a monolithic mass. They also contain a solvent (acetone) which is absorbed by the porous mass. The acetylene dissolves in the acetone and holds the acetylene in a stable condition. Very interesting stuff.
You just blew my mind. Is that why acetylene tanks are fatter usually?
Dont play with that..
I believe the tanks are also double-skinned . . .
It's pretty much standard procedure to deploy snipers to puncture acetylene tanks in burning buildings. This is to release the pressure and prevent the tanks from exploding.
@@Raaask don’t they usually have plugs that melt out?

The shock heat of the penetrating round was enough to reach the ignition point of the tanks in the pure oxygen volume that then began incinerating the tank metal as it rushed out the hole. The *metal* was the fuel that was burning.
damn
It's basically the principal behind a hybrid rocket. Which also explains why the tank twisted around so violently - you have a plume of burning steel and pressurized oxygen being expelled from one side of the tank, which produces enough thrust to tear the whole thing from its mounting.
YEAH SCIENCE BI***
Yeah oxygen isn't flammable itself. Pure oxygen is scary because it makes stuff burn that shouldnt burn.
Think on how an Oxyacetylene cutting torch works. Oxyacetylene flame to heat up the metal, then pull the trigger to send a blast of pure oxygen to actually burn the metal away.

@@Tuck-Shop dyhydrogen monoxid would make the best bomb
The "fuel" for the torch was the metal, that was burning. When it is hot enough, oxygen lets it burn brightly. Oxygen itself isn't flammable, there must be some "unburnt matter" around. Grease for example is self-ignited in pure oxygen.
It was Matt's guardian angel for the first tank...I imagine it saying, "Oh Hell No," on a regular basis.
Quick note: Oxygen itself is actually not flammable but is one of the key components to burning anything. So what you saw here was the metal itself burning but in a SUPER oxygen rich environment which causes it to ignite much more easily and burn very rapidly and very VERY hot. This is why you use oxyacetylene to cut through metal because its burning the metal and acetylene much hotter and more efficiently. Never expected to see the perfectly circular holes, that was super wild!
You beat me to saying it

For everyone not knowing what was going on, simple breakdown;
-Iron getting rusty = exothermic reaction a.k.a. it makes heat
-Iron getting rusty = Oxygen bonds with Iron
-Heating up chem. reaction = makes it happen faster
So... you shoot it (put really hot iron (bullet hole) into contact with pure oxygen) and watch chain reaction of it getting hotter and oxidizing faster so it will get even hotter and oxidize even faster... until it gets so hot that iron starts to burn (vaporize). Saw that black smoke? That was burnt iron.

@@nowayjerk8064 No he's actually right about this one. When you use a blowtorch it will oxididize the metal, not melt it.

@@hehy3292 He's absolutely correct. Oxygen is an oxidizer not a fuel.

Had my college instructor tell me a story. When he was in high school, an oxygen tank was knocked over in their shop class, the regulator and valve broke and the tank went through two cinder block walls. These things are not to be messed around with at all.
Actually saw that happen in shop class. Only reason I wasn't scared is things happened too quickly for me to get scared. WOW!!!
Literally every shop teacher ever tells the exact same story. I swear some teachers get into trades just to scare students with horror stories 🤣
@@WestCoastWheelman With GOOD reason! Power tools (and some hand tools) can do serious human injury IN A HURRY!
I actually saw that happen in a sign shop in the mid 90's. A tank fell over, hit the edge of a table, knocking off the valve. The tank shot 30 -35 feet across the shop and through the back wall, where it luckily buried itself in a big pile of dirt.
Back in 2008 I had a propane tank explode and send me down a 15 foot ravine. Luckily some granite boulders caught me and destroyed my knee. Compressed gasses are absolutely no joke. If you think you're far enough away, you're not
Oxygen is not flammable but in the compressed liquid form it makes pretty much anything it comes in contact with highly flammable. The fire coming out of the tank was not the oxygen on fire but the actual metal of the tank on fire, which explains why your metal was melting and “welding”.
Exactly this. Also it stopped burning a few feet away because there was no fuel. The iron was the fuel.
He also walked right into an area with potentially toxic oxides in the air
Came to say the same thing. It's working like a thermic lance.
There isn't liquid oxygen in those tanks it's just gas but it does make the things it contacts more combustible.
Fire needs 2 components. An accelerant and an oxidizer.

An interesting fact: oxygen cannot burn itself, the fire that we saw is burning STEEL, the perfect hole did not melt in the tank, but burned out!
Thank you! Glad someone besides myself knows chemistry lol
This. But I think in this case, the oxidizer was Nitrous Oxide, not oxygen. The tank was color coded with US/ISO blue, not the international green or green/white identifying the contents as oxygen. You couldn’t even fill O2 into a N2O canister unless you changed the valve.
Also when he said nitrous oxide doesn't burn only increases compression lmao

Correct! I was going to comment this.

Years ago the lumber yard in my hometown caught on fire. This was bad enough but it was across the alley from the local hospital which had all of their gas products in a long narrow enclosure by the lumber yard. When the fire squad got there they just started grabbing oxygen and anesthesia cylinders and setting them rolling down the alley. Afterwards they were questioned on why they did that and didn’t they think it was dangerous to do it. The reply was no more dangerous than having 150 bottles of flammable product in a burning shed. When they rebuilt they put the product in a cinder block shed and later on they built a hospital that wasn’t in the middle of downtown. Forty five years later my father in law, who was a rookie on the squad still claimed that to be the most frightening call he ever went on. Fire and compressed gas definitely is not a good combination.
If I remember right, from my msds orientation in my chem program, the oxygen itself isn’t catching on fire. The steel of the tank is rapidly oxidizing/burning as the gas is exposed to it following the “spark” provided by the apit round. Kind of the same concept as a thermic lance. Still badass, though.
i’m just here promoting the comments that remembers it’s a fire triangle.

Matt, please treat yourself to a high speed camera, either a Chronos or a Phantom! :-) also the endgame should be an Oxy tank heavily strapped and chained to an Acetylene tank, laying in the bed or a truck or something and shoot an APIT round through both at the same time, so the massive hole in both tanks causes the gases to mix in a fiery way!

Oxygen is not flammable. It is the metal that lit on fire because it was being supplied so much oxygen.
The metal is the burning fuel, and the oxygen is the oxidizer.
I was hoping someone would point that out. The fire at Welders' Supply near downtown Dallas on July 25, 2007 was caused by a crack in a valve on an oxygen bottle in the middle of a load being delivered. The friction of the leaking oxygen heated the metal to the point of ignition. Once the first tank lit off, all anybody could do was run for safety.
th-cam.com/video/SyUVswUkEIA/w-d-xo.html
Exactly
Exactly. What happent to the oxygen tank and the poles was effectively an oxygen (thermal) lance. th-cam.com/video/rSpXJJ-ris8/w-d-xo.html The massive steel was the fuel.
.. and the concrete. Must have hit 4000 degrees +? Of course the pipes caught the incendiary slug so there were some extra fuels and oxidizers in the mix AND massive energy dissapation . Anyway it was pretty exciting .
same with the oil, it's not flammable, but if it seeps inside shut-off valves and gets under pressure of 150 bar - it's do ;)
So I’m a welder. Whenever we move these tanks around we act like they are bombs. This man is crazy 😂

@@jakehighland929 Cause oxigen won’t explode by itself. The bullet is the flame (that oxygen only accelerates as oxygen doesn’t burn). So with no bullet the worst thing that can happen is oxygen poisoning which was highly unlikely.
I love this! Beautiful. Firework chemist here - metal is a "fuel". Get it with oxygen and the two together make fire. In other words, the metal BECOMES the torch. I'm still blown away by this demo. Love.
It's the carbon in the steel that's burning. Your standard cutting rig oxygen and any fuel gas will burn anything with carbon in it, that's why you can't burn non ferrous metals like al
copper etc..
@@ch3no2killz Nonsense. Pure high-pressure oxygen means burning iron - that's how you get the neat hole, it's not cut or molten but burned (not sure why the back hole isn't quite as neat - maybe due to the pipes diffusing the oxygen stream). You can burn pretty much any metal in a pure oxygen atmosphere (short of stuff like gold, maybe), yes, copper, too.
It (copper) won't burn in standard atmosphere because there's not enough energy in the reaction to keep up the necessary temperature (but it still corrodes slowly) and iron (obviously corroding, too) may burn in standard atmosphere if the structure is fine enough and there's enough air around it (iron wool for example - even that's not great in standard atmosphere, though, it just sort of smolders a bit). Carbon in steel doesn't make much of a difference in the reaction. And a high pressure/high velocity oxygen supply will make even solid iron structures burn.
Btw. look up magnesium torches for non-ferrous metals burning like hell. Even chews up water molecules to supply oxygen to the flame, for under-water fiery goodness. Or aluminium powder in iron oxide, makes thermite with the iron oxide supplying the oxygen (aluminium will burn in standard atmosphere, too, if you do it right).
I kind of wonder now why the iron/oxygen torch stopped burning. I think it was extinguished when the oxygen supply stopped but I guess it could have been cooled down by the water, too.
@@6272355463637 I stand corrected.
@@ch3no2killz funny you should say that. Aluminum is the primary fuel in many fireworks and so is copper to a lesser degree. and titanium and zink and magnesium.
What is the biggest commercial grade firework shell he could shoot? Especially if he used a red and silver tip from about 300 yards away it should create one hell of a fireball and boom.
I'm no pro but I've done my fair share of science and chemistry class, I think what happened is this : so oxygen isn't flammable, it's an oxidizer. It is required in a combustion, but it's not a fuel. However there is a combustion happening as we can see I believe it's the iron of the bottle that burns. Just like sparks fly when you grind steel or iron, here the bottle is being ground by the friction of the oxygen escaping, and because pure oxygen really powers up the combustion it makes this extremely high energy flame that melted your pipe.
"it's super hot"
Yeah, that's usually what happens when fire burns something
Thats so crazy man

Oxygen isn't flammable, and wasn't burning. The metal tank itself was burning and the abundance of oxygen allowed the metal to burn as fuel. Also, the flame didn't shoot out like propane does, because unlike propane, oxygen does not burn.
IDEA: Get a tank of propane AND a tank of oxygen and toy around with piercing both simultaneously! That may well send you and the ranch into orbit. :)
Adding to this - the flame doesn't continue farther out (as it would with escaping propane) because, as noted above, it is the steel of the tank that is burning, not the oxygen. The steel remained... at the tank... hence why the flame (the molten iron oxide) only shot out as far as it was being flung by the escaping oxygen gas.
That's something I'd like to see. I'm also curious to how a propane take would go
Any idea what could be temperature of the flame here?
