Surprising Results With Full Oxygen Tanks...

Matt! Oxygen isn't explosive or flammable it's an OXIDIZER it accelerates flames... Shoot some acetylene it's flammable and explosive :)

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.

Matt is usually fairly safe, but this here was crazy, those tanks are basically rockets once punctured.

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

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.

You know it’s good when even the camera man says “dude”

I like the video! I’m super impressed with the care and preparation you took for this video like filling the pipes with concrete.

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.

This was not a skit. Matt has finally cracked and is talking to the imaginary gun range people.

"If this happened in a building..." If you've got someone shooting a .50 BMG APIT round indoors, you've got bigger problems than the oxygen tank.

Still one of my favorite demo vids. We need more DEMOLITION!🤘🇺🇲

Great stuff. Content is truly something else. Not only entertaining but also educational. Keep up the good work

That explosion was so insane its the first time I've ever heard cameraman speak a word "Dude..." -Demo Ranch Cameraman 2021

Matt: I’m scared it’s gunna light everything on fire loads incendiary round

is no one gonna talk about how good this man's aim is

Best diy thermal Lance I've seen yet.

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.

One day we will just get to the “I set off warheads on my ranch” video
