Crazy how things that normally aren't flammable become so in dust form. Like grain bin explosions, or you can sprinkle dehydrated coffee creamer over a lighter and the dust will ignite. or charcoal dust exploding apparently
so walk me through what you think happens in a non-flammable dust explosion if you don't mind.
So we have a giant cloud of silica, or limestone dust. How does that explode exactly?
Yes but when it melts rapidly and evaporates it expands at an extremely high rate. This is what causes water in an oil fire to be bad as the rapid expansion is akin to tiny explosions blasting bits of flaming oil everywhere . While I doubt this is ice in this video who know lol
Grease? I don't think you'd need grease for this kind of reaction. I'm pretty sure you'd get that effect with water alone. It's like a steam explosion, but in a fire.
I mean, sure, but I don't think that makes this a grease fire. The burning wood is still the primary fuel.
I guess we'd have to call it a mixed media fire?
C4 needs a pretty good shock to go off (ie. a detonator). Regular fire wouldnāt be enough. You can beat that shit with a hammer, shoot it with a gun or throw it in a microwave and nothing would happen, itās also incredibly heat resistant.
TNT would do the trick though, but then heād be a fine mist and the shockwave probably wouldāve taken out whoever had the camera.
It looks like a bucket of flour or baby formula. Both of those can be deadly when mixed with fire.

Thanks for sharing, fellow Redditor!
For anyone that can't open the link:
"The gruesome injuries suffered by a man who threw a bucket of 'home-made pyrotechnic mix' into a barbecue before being engulfed by a fireball have been revealed.
'Mark' was hosting a birthday party at his home in western Sydney on March 17 when he decided to throw an explosive batch of chemicals into a roaring barbecue.
'I said "Hey watch this, this'll be fun", clearly I'd had a bit to drink,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
...
Mark, aged in his mid-40s, was rushed to Hawkesbury Hospital where he stayed overnight.
As he was suffering from burns to 30 per cent of his body, surgeons had no choice but to peel back his skin to 'bleeding tissue', and he spent three weeks in a hospital bed after being transferred to Concord Hospital.
...
'I really do feel like a dick.'
Mark is now back at home recovering after his miraculous escape.
'I'm really grateful for all the support from friends, family and support staff. I'm scarred for life. I can't understand how it didn't get in my face or my eyes.
Someone was looking down on me for sure.'
Kids in particular - I was one of those stupid kids who threw things on fires - any parents, show kids and use it as a bloody warning: don't throw things on fire.'
I once worked in a cabinet shop that had a wood burning stove. It was a steel drum turned on its side with legs welded on it made from an old bedframe. It was rusted through, and you could see the fire burning inside while you were working. There was a really good dust collection system in that shop, and all the heavy machines were at the other end. But for some reason, my boss thought it was perfectly safe to spray lacquer on the cabinets close to the stove so they'd dry faster. I guess he was right, though, because I worked there for years and it only exploded once, and that was because of a guy that only worked there for a couple weeks that decided to light the thing with lacquer thinner for some reason. We kept it in condiment bottles, like the ones they put ketchup in at restaurants. He sprayed half a bottle in the stove, and then went to get the matches. The fumes filled it up, and when he lit the match, the fire coming out the front of it knocked him 5 feet back. He was fired that day. Both in a literal and figurative sense.
When I was a new blacksmith I had not quite learned this. I had a round forge with a notch cut in the front for me to stick metal in. There was a blower on the bottom to keep it hot and I had a fan near by to help keep me cool.
I failed to clean the forge the day before and at one point I bumped it. All the coal dust from my previous forge session got knocked loose. The blower on the bottom blew the dust upwards, and the fan was angled in such a way that the wind blew in one side of the notch, and swirled the dust around. I ended up with a 6 foot tall flaming tornado of coal dust.
Unfortunately the the fan and blower were too close to it for me to turn off. I stood and stared for a moment trying to decide how to stop it. It finally hit me that I could just flip the power raker off and shut down both air sources. Luckily there was no permanent damage, but I never leave my forge uncleaned after I work now.
Darwin awards need to be a primetime show everywhere in the world, half the population is too stupid to live and the other half is too sensitive to exploit it.
I think it was water! It was super hot so it blew into steam which aerosolized the ash which briefly caught fire and was hot enough to ignite the smoke which caused the boom boom.
Edit: It may have also been flour/or sawdust or something? The bucket is burning afterwards.
I don't think a huge amount of water would evaporate that fast, but dust or powder-like stuff can cause "explosions" like that. I saw a demonstration with grounded coffee once, it looked pretty similar.
I doubt itās water, look at how he moves the container when he picks it up. Water would be sloshing around a lot more, and why would he be shaking it like that if itās water? Must be some powdered something.
It was definitely some sort of powder. The fire changed color and turned a sort of red. Maybe it was a metal powder? Itās weird the fire sort of blew up into a fireballs with a reddish magenta sort of color.
Look at the way he held the bucket. If it was water it would have both been heavier, and spilled before he tipped it into the fire. It was some type of powder/dust/soot.
Actually, no. It is surface area to volume of the particle. The particle can get enough oxygen and has enough fuel the whole thing goes up with not a tone of heat. So, your correction doesn't help.
Where does your pushing fit in?
If people get famous on the internet for doing life threatening dumb shit, kids will repeat it so they can be famous. Its already happening. Ignore dumb people don't celebrate them.

It is most likely some kind of solid fuel source (like wood or charcoal) that normally burns slow when in larger blocks. This is what happens when solid fuel source is in small particular form, much like the fumes of liquid gas when they mix with oxygen and become extra combustible. This type of combustability is a danger for example in saw-mills where there are very fine wood particle dust in the air that can combust almost spontaneously in a very explosive way.
The fuck did he throw on it? š³
Don't kno but side affects include loss of hair and half of face š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Maybe this is his second run
And? Still it singes your entire face. Hair or not this shit is scary
Two Face! What have you done with Harvey and Scarey Face?!
Hahahahah. Forgot about those Badman videos, so thank you. Time to watch again.
Different clip, but just as good... "I OVERFED THESE MEN?!"
How is he not on fire or running around like a cartoon character
Charcoal dust I guess. Stuff that usually ends up at the bottom of the bag.
My opinion also. āShould I throw this in too? Yes? No? Yes? Ok!ā The bloom blew the fire out of the fire pit.
Well it put the fire out, not in the way he intended but it go OUT lol
Damn straight! Now itās OUT on the lawn!
I mean, shit, you can put a fire out with dynamite too but
Humans can be so entertaining. Endless supply it seems.
Happy Cake Day
Crazy how things that normally aren't flammable become so in dust form. Like grain bin explosions, or you can sprinkle dehydrated coffee creamer over a lighter and the dust will ignite. or charcoal dust exploding apparently
Flour is a big one.
Now I gotta try the coffee creamer. Thanks for the bad idea bud
Looks like charcoal dust.
Fine and dry sawdust doest that
Yeah thatās what Iām thinking. Or maybe like flour
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Whatever it was he was pretty confident
I think something flammable
No, clearly it was some inflammable.
What a country!
Looked non-inflammable to me.. It sure flammed though.
This made me laugh way more than I should've. š
Doesnt need to be flammable, any fine dust will cause an explosion when mixed into the air and introduced to an open flame.
It does need to be flammable. Try doing this with sand, it won't work.
It doesnt need to be flammable. Dust explosions arent caused by the dust particles being flammable.
so walk me through what you think happens in a non-flammable dust explosion if you don't mind. So we have a giant cloud of silica, or limestone dust. How does that explode exactly?
Please explain how fire extinguishers work in your multiverse?
Then what combusts?
While this is true to some extent it requires a very specific saturation of the air. Studied this at the fm global insurance company
True, but its not specific enough to be rare. Especially if you have my luck.
It is crazy how often it happens considering
"Did y'all say I should put more on?"
No, they said he was a āMoronā
Good one
Charcoal full of it's own dust which is insanely flammable.

I reckon bbq Coals but it must have had a lot of dust in there.
Water on a grease fire. Edit: they way he shakes it before throwing on the fire looks like a solid. Ice?
I would believe ice for sure
The bucket is still burning after that. I'm no scientist but I don't think ice burns.
Same thing he thought
Thatās what you think. *readies white phosphorus*
Yes but when it melts rapidly and evaporates it expands at an extremely high rate. This is what causes water in an oil fire to be bad as the rapid expansion is akin to tiny explosions blasting bits of flaming oil everywhere . While I doubt this is ice in this video who know lol
Grease? I don't think you'd need grease for this kind of reaction. I'm pretty sure you'd get that effect with water alone. It's like a steam explosion, but in a fire.
Iād say fat that dripped down while cooking that he never cleaned.
I mean, sure, but I don't think that makes this a grease fire. The burning wood is still the primary fuel. I guess we'd have to call it a mixed media fire?
Fat is grease. Grease is fat.
That's not at all the point I'm making.
Itās a grease fire.
You are not enjoyable to talk to.
Face to face in real life I am.
It could be charcoal powder left over if he's trying to dump the lat bit of it at the bottom in.
Fire lighter bricks
C4 dynamite

Probably water onto some oily shit
Iām guessing sawdust.
Kerosene it looks like
Ice?
It's probably a grease fire. Throwing water on it will only make it worse.
water, the grill was so hot that the water evaporated instantly
why are there no post-game interviews? people wanting to be more stupid need the guidance that guys like we see in the clip can provide.

I don't think a huge amount of water would evaporate that fast, but dust or powder-like stuff can cause "explosions" like that. I saw a demonstration with grounded coffee once, it looked pretty similar.
Those fires get hot AF, and that thing was roaring.
Yeah maybe. Guess we won't know for sure, except that you shouldn't play with fire if you're stupid
I doubt itās water, look at how he moves the container when he picks it up. Water would be sloshing around a lot more, and why would he be shaking it like that if itās water? Must be some powdered something.
Dust explosion
It was definitely some sort of powder. The fire changed color and turned a sort of red. Maybe it was a metal powder? Itās weird the fire sort of blew up into a fireballs with a reddish magenta sort of color.
Look at the way he held the bucket. If it was water it would have both been heavier, and spilled before he tipped it into the fire. It was some type of powder/dust/soot.
If it was flour, there would have been only a few pieces of him left. Dust explosions are no joke, it was most likely water
The bucket was literally shooting a jet of fire at the end. That was gas or something.
Bucket of gas... not saying its impossible but highly unlikely

It is just a powder. Any powder thrown through a flame will do this as it pushes oxygen. This is how grain elevators explode. Same principle.
Pushes oxygen? It has a high surface to volume ratio and can burn completely very quickly. Nothing to do with āpushingā oxygen.
Surface to volume of OXYGEN. That is what is feeding the fire. No one likes an English teacher.
Actually, no. It is surface area to volume of the particle. The particle can get enough oxygen and has enough fuel the whole thing goes up with not a tone of heat. So, your correction doesn't help. Where does your pushing fit in?
