Hi i am so early
come to idahoooo pleaseeee
Is this going to be a live video?
Matt! Oxygen isn't explosive or flammable it's an OXIDIZER it accelerates flames... Shoot some acetylene it's flammable and explosive :)
Acetylene would be crazy!!!
Also you are 100% correct on the first part.
Oxygen isn't flammable? I think air is needed in order to burn. Air contains mostly Nitrogen but Oxygen as well.
You weld?
@@prandomable -- Right, but oxygen isn't flammable. But, flames aren't possible without the presence of oxygen.
Yes
Keep in mind that oxygen itself is NOT flammable, it acts as an oxidiser when something else burns. What you see here isn't the oxygen burning, it's literally the steel being on fire. Pure oxygen is extremely aggressive, a tiny spark is enough to light many materials, including metals like iron or nickel, on fire. This also explains the holes in the tank getting bigger while the steel burns and everything around them melting away - metal fires are pretty hot, usually between 2000-3000°C.
Thats some fine ass Information
i was just about to type this i remember that from mythbusters lol
Not only that but in large enough doses oxygen can kill you, due to poisoning
I came to the comments to say exactly this.
Strong oxidizers are honestly more terrifying than most flammable substances because they cause things to burn that most sane folk would think can't be burned. Look up Chlorine Trifluoride. Makes pure oxygen look tame.
@@Am4gedon if he dented it to an extreme degree the first thing to go i would say is the nozzle but if he had a bigger tank a bullet might make it explode since more oxygen is more fuel for the fire
That explosion was so insane its the first time I've ever heard cameraman speak a word
"Dude..." -Demo Ranch Cameraman 2021
Watch the ranch dressing video lol
And the pudding video
Shooting the empty tank actually turned out to be a really good control group so you could see the difference when the metal actually ignited.
On another note,
Matt: *Makes a rocket by jettisoning hot and rapidly expanding pure Oxygen through a small hole.*
Also Matt: "Why did my straps break?"
*head scratch*
Maybe because the iron torch burned through them. Or possibly because the straps themselves burned in pure oxygen. Probably both.
@@6272355463637 my nuts are on fire
This was not a skit. Matt has finally cracked and is talking to the imaginary gun range people.
ok so remember be careful do not bring a 50 BMG into a vet and shoot the canister
I'm sure many love the starting skits but me personally I could do without :)
Having said that great video.
@@basildaoust2821 Especially when the skit is too real. When you have to put up with so many people that are actually just like that, the funniness wears off after a while.
Finally? Shiiittt he's been talking to himself "literally/figuratively"... Haven't you seen the ones where he acts like he's talking to another person in his shop and dresses like he is that person and cuts himself into the video and makes it look like he's talking to his twin.

This would be an awesome one to collaborate with SmarterEveryDay to get high-speed shots and go in depth into what is happening
Destin already did a what 3000 mph baseball cannon? This is child's play...lol
Matt’s too fringe politically. Destin wouldn’t be able to keep his image with him
It would be cool to see in slow-mo the moment of impact and the oxygen start to fuel the melting of the tank, if there's some kind of filter they could use to deal with the brightness
@@Miles26545 just avoid politics duh

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 ;)
This is one of my favorite videos ever. I think I have watched it at least 5 or 6 times since it came out and I'm sure I will watch it many more times.
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.
You know it’s good when the camera man breaks his silent streak.
Idk why this doesn’t has more likes this is gold
he has the last few episodes
Hahaha right?!
I was thinking the same thing.
watch the shooting ranch episode, he does it in that one too
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
Was about to comment something similar. You put It quite well.
Jeff K is now demo ranch science guy
*Big Brain*
Yep; intrigued to see what the results would had been with a fluorine reaction instead.
I can never get enough of this video
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.
“Kinda a far shot with a revolver” nails the shot, what a flex
Haha I thought that was funny to 😅
@@BradleyBeeksAdventures same
You know... it is posssible...
To edit... video...
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?
Thank god for the new feature showing the most watched parts of a video. I just searched 'Oxygen tank explosion' and was not about to watch a 20 minute documentary about the ordeal.

@@NyeFoster at what time?
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.
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.
“Maybe Jerry’s just a bad shot”
(Somewhere off in the distance) Beeeeep.
I was thinking same thing..beep
Git ya some!
LoL!
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.
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.
Are you a chemist or a metalworker?
@@hehy3292 science class
WHERE IS THE RUST ? YOU ARE ADDING STEPS THAT ARE NOT THERE OR NEEDED IN THIS CASE YOUR REACTION IS MORE INDICATIVE OF TERMITE
@@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.
Hydrogen for sure.
Boom

@@kd5nrh yeah but I think he doesn't have a 20mm cannon
@@dominikmeril1720 yet.
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.
Hey Matt, try this with a tank sandwich. Oxygen out front, acetylene out back, use 50BMG black tip so both tanks rupture.

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.

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.
We did something about this in my welding class, we lit the track torch, started cutting metal, then turned off acetylene. Kept burning right through.

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.

The oxygen isnt what was burning, the steel tank was burning. The heat from impact and the tracers/incendiaries was enough to start a chemical reaction in which the oxygen was oxidizing the steel at an alarming rate. What you made is just like an oxy-acetylene torch and replaced the acetylene with bullets
No, what he made was a very poorly shaped thermal lance. Oxyacetylene is a completely different beast
Just made the same comment bro, good job.
imma pretend like ik what you guys are talking about and say both of you are wrong and im not gonna say why...
Ah you got it Matt
@@richardmillhousenixon it's actually not. They share the same principle of burning steel in excess oxygen. The acetylene is only there to start the reaction with the steel, that's why you can turn it off mid cut. You start a thermal lance reaction with a torch, and the oxygen keeps it burning. The two operations are more similar than you think.
Science ranch. Nice way to discover exothermic slicing in a little different form. Would like to see the tanks chained down more secure. But cool video.

This should happen
14:36 the cameraman talks first time I’ve heard him say anything
But mat oxygen isn’t flammable it just accelerate things that are on fire.
It was the steel of the tank that was buring
The more oxygen the faster shit burn
And dear lord that had oxygen
I was about to make that same comment.
@Cameron Clark well glass is allegedly burned so with oxygen it won't burn more because it's physically impossible. For things like that you need fluor that will do the job
@Cameron Clark You would need an ignition source, yes the friction of the bullet passing through the cylinder would ignite the steel but as the oxygen spread there would need to be enough heat at the other materials to ignite it. With a gas like propane it could get ignited from the friction at the tank and spread from there since the gas itself is flammable.
Ohhh, I just love your intros! 😃
Look up how an oxygen lance works, the same science is going on here. Plus it's really cool to watch. The heat from impact is enough to start the reaction. The holes look like holes from oxygen lances too.
This is why OSHA requires you to use chains to hold your tanks in place before you shoot them with armor-piercing incendiary rounds.
A chain would get melted and burned like the poles
@@bene5431 just hold it in place manually, ez
Also, I don't know if you noticed this or not Matt, but when a couple of those pistol and rifle rounds struck the tank and did not penetrate, you could see that the steel tank underneath the paint was already oxidized. The paint was protecting it from oxidization by the atmospheric oxygen, but the oxygen inside was oxidizing the tank from the inside. And since it had reached the paint, that means it was almost all the way rusted through... Those tanks were ready to 'splode before you even shot them. IT IS A REALLY GOOD THING you decided to make them 'splode intentionally, under (somewhat) controlled conditions. Because if they decided to 'splode on their own when you least expected it... well... that could have been very bad. This is why you don't re-use old oxygen tanks, people.
“today we are planting a MINEFIELD in our backyard!!!” cant wait for that vid lmao
While they get a shitty vehicle to ghost ride thru it 😂✊🏻
Don't give him ideas
He is awfully casual about standing right next to a pressurized tank with bullet dents in it
It was empty before he shot it pay Attention
Matt, shooting the oxygen tanks resulted in rapid oxidation of the metal due to increased pressure at the site of the rupture/puncture, the reason the second tank reacted the way it did was b/c it was at an obvious higher pressure than the first tank and you had an ignition source, also remember that b/c oxygen is an oxidizer it will act as a torch and essentially "forge weld" any nearby metal in the split second both objects are in contact.
The misconception is that Oxygen burns, it does not. You are correct about it being an oxidizer and I would suggest the reason you see the flames/explosion burning is because they oxygen actually allows the metal to burn. The bullet impact starts the process and the pressure and pure oxygen keeps it going. The result is the almost perfect round hole where the metal burned away.
2:53 Oxygen isn't flammable either, it just makes everything else extra super flammable 🤣
The metal didn’t melt it burned in the High O2 atmosphere, the metal WAS the fuel
@Carl Klinkenborg yep now that funny well done mate
yeah that's basically how thermal lances work, pump oxygen through an iron tube and the tube becomes the fuel
@@iloveteateas6722 That's really informative. I wondered how the Thermal drill in payday 2 worked... That's actually quite interesting to know, because the Thermal Drill is a long metal tube with tanks attached to it, I never figured out what it all was until now.
@@EzekiesAcheron pd2 gave me many questions. good to know that theres an answer to the one that annoyed me the most
"Maybe Jerry is a bad shot"
Brand new sentence
I got a weird look from my coworker because I LOL so loud. Good one!
I want to see a night time episode, with tracer and incendiary rounds
Epic
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
14:35 You know it was crazy when you get a "duuude" from the camera man.
The oxygen wasn’t burning, the pure oxygen allowed the metal tank to burn (it’s basically rusting insanely fast), oxygen is not flammable!!
Yah, we have a bunch of air distillation plants at work to make all the oxygen our process needs. We've had an oxygen compressor (a couple of megawatts) reduced to a cloud of rust in a fraction of a second. Same for steel pipes. There are trips and interlocks to reduce the damage when this happens. Initiating events can be as simple as a fastener left in the piping during maintenance work getting blown down the inside of a pipe during startup and causing a spark when it reaches an elbow.
If there is any oil or grease on the insides of pipes, it can spontaneously catch fire as well. Also, if your clothes become saturated by an oxygen enriched atmosphere, you're basically a walking tinderbox for quite a while afterward.
I think that's about as many useless facts I can remember right now. Was kind of surprised that the water put out the fire. Would like to see this repeated without the water puddle.
It’s essentially an oxygen lance, but instead of consuming the rod it consumed the tank walls.
Stack one of these with an acetylene tank - shoot through both with an API round 💥
Remember: "What's the point of having a firetruck if we can't use it" 17:48
As long as it has sufficient extinguishing power for what ur expecting. lol
@@oceanic8424 That was Mere's truck. The men's kind has a water cannon on top.
One question Matt, when are you going to get a Chronos slow motion camera? They are cheap and you have needed one for a few years now.
You really should. You could slow down the shot way more and it would be much more interesting to see.
Yeah, his slow mo that he uses rn kinda sucks
@@matthewrabel5035 its good compared to others I’ve seen out there but certainly could use some improvement.
Watch Demo ranch start a METAL FIRE!!!
Let's see the opposite now: launch a full Oxygen tank at 3,000 FPS at a stationary bullet.
yes
Better a oxygen pack thats 9 oxygen tanks , but it maybe abit u*safe, you use it when cut stuff with a lance ( large version of a Gouging Electrode )
When you strap a tank to a pole don’t forget to slap the tank and say “that ain’t goin nowhere.”
That's The WORST
I want to see more of the C4 bro!! Corvette that is!!
Matt: I don’t want to have any of these tanks to go flying off catching anything on fire
Also Matt : Shoots tank secured to pole 10 feet away from 2 tanks on the ground that could go anywhere 😂
This one made me laugh for at least 15 mins.. I thought I was the only one that thought that as well.
He knows that he specifically made a comment about questioning if one of the rounds would set the oxygen on fire
I'd just assumed those were the tanks presumed empty, or the ones already punctured. In either case, they would no longer be a danger, since they do not contain pressurized gases.
@@freestaterocker When he was shooting the first one, he had the other two way too close.
It wasn't the oxygen that was burning. Steel doesn't burn easily in normal air, but in pure oxygen it's a different story. You actually lit the tanks themselves on fire; it was a jet of molten steel slag that cut your pole in half.
@ET Hardcorgamer Idk if you are talking about like a normal torch you would use at a shop in which you mix the oxygen with another gas or there are oxygen lances that actually use a long tube and it oxidizes the material you cut and burns that.
That is exactly the same principle RPG burns an hole through tank armor with molten metal.
Sooo Matt inadvertently made a hillbilly HEAT round 🤔
@ET Hardcorgamer oxygen does the actual cutting with a torch. The flame heats the metal up and then the jet of oxygen gas burns through the steel.
@Canard_Loupgarou without knowing any of the details, my guess is medical oxygen use can increase the oxygen content of the atmosphere in an enclosed room. That makes stuff more flammable, even to the point that stuff that isn’t normally flammable can catch fire. Normally that would take some time to happen though, like if someone is on oxygen for hours. Perhaps something was smouldering though, maybe overheated electronics, or maybe it was just coincidence.
It always the intro that gets me.
You know that you're in "This is beyond stupid" territory when you hear Matt of Demolition Ranch say he's worried.
you should have seen FPS Russia back in the day
@@salgarnica9328 OOOHH, I remember!! I'll say one thing about Kyle (FPS Russia for those chiming in)is that he can stay in character in the face of some of the most dangerous shit.
The metal burned in the oxygen rushing out, that's why the hole is so big: the metal burned away
^ Oxygen won't burn without fuel. In this case the steel container became the fuel
Yup, oxygen itself does not burn.
OXYGEN DOESNT MELT STEEL BEAMS 🧐🧐🧐
@@scottydu81 tell that to oxy acetylene torches.
@@scottydu81 jet beams don't melt oxygen fuel.
Thanks for doing everything I thought of.
Matt: *shoots a massive oxygen tank with a rifle*
Matt: "This is welding"
Seems legit.
It's a pretty dangerous way to weld. I'd prefer to shoot it from much farther away, like from a plane. Preferably a Russian fighter jet. Because that would be MiG welding.
That is the single most Corvette owner looking outfit in the intro that I have ever seen-
Looks just like what my grampa used to wear :]
I love how a lot of people are suggesting stuff like "oh yeah just strap two tank filled with two of the vertexes of the triangle of fire, and just throw in the last vertex faster than the sound, that should be great !"
I mean, as much as I love explosions (I really do) I wouldn't want to see Matt in prison for burning down half of Texas
Also he should really read up on oxygen safety before doing something like this again. The fact that he thinks you can treat oxygen as a flammable gas rather than an oxidizer is utterly terrifying to see.
@@maxk4324 We just witnessed the creation of a hundred pound freestanding thermal lance. I'm not sure civilians should be allowed to buy pure oxygen at quantity tbh. .50 bmgs, fuck yeah, but pure oxygen is some scary shit.
@@Housecat333 bruh how’s that communism
Hey hey hey we comies think everyone should have oxygen AND guns
@@Housecat333 A. Yes.
B. Unrelated. The tanks shown in the video actually aren't large enough that I think they should be restricted. That's common welding equipment. Much larger than that tho, and we're talking about a very dangerous tank of chemicals. If you had a gas station fire with 500 gallons of it in the back of the truck, you'd level block and blocks and blocks with a wall of fire. It's like letting people run around with Sarin gas, except easier to have accidents with.
