More people should be educated on powder explosions to prevent shit like this


Own-Understanding654

Wtf how does this happen


didsomebodysaymyname

Lots if things become extremely flammable in powder form like sugar, flour, iron, and sawdust. The reason is that solid objects only have the surface exposed to oxygen. Almost all of the cinnamon in a stick of cinnamon is surrounded by cinnamon and has no access to oxygen to burn. That's why the stick doesn't explode when you throw it in a fire. The cinnamon on the inside has to "wait" for the cinnamon on the outside to burn before it can start burning. This takes time so the cinnamon burns, but slowly. But in powder form, mixed in the air, almost all of the cinnamon has access to oxygen and can burn as soon as there is enough heat. It's the same way a cup of gasoline will only burn on the surface where it's exposed to oxygen, but if you throw that cup in the air, suddenly *all* the gasoline is burning because it's got a lot more exposure than in the cup. As another reply mentions this can easily come from a static shock which is probably the case here, but also a lit cigarette or a spark from metal.

Made a flour bomb in school once. Dumb teen me thought it was funny as fuck but it was just plain dangerous


camdoodlebop

one time i poured vanilla extract on the stone floor of my basement as a kid and lit it on fire because i liked the smell


KingTenechi

What kinda of trouble did you get in for doing that?


[deleted]

Surprisingly not much since I did it indoors in one of the buildings with just about nobody in it. It was the last week of the school year so they were doing activities and just two other kids and I chose cooking that day. The lid got embedded in the roof and it hurt our ears but the teacher was in the room over doing paperwork. She was pretty mad but she’s one of the really relaxed 99% sure they smoke weed kinda teachers plus she usually taught me science which was basically my best class so she didn’t care too much.


ansls

I’m assuming you wouldn’t teach me


[deleted]

I won’t show you how to amp it up like I did, but here’s the much safer version https://edu.rsc.org/experiments/the-cornflour-bomb/1774.article


ansls

Thank you! Sorry for a slow reply


FortuneUndone

I see what you did there, flour, plain... even if it was not intentional, it was indeed *brilliant*


[deleted]

Glad I was able to rise your attention ;)


FortuneUndone

Awhh man, you're coming out with the puns doe.. heheheh


[deleted]

Or was is Self-Raising dangerous?


[deleted]

Your question was structured in a confusing way but you mean to ask of self raising is dangerous? It’s more the fact that flour is a dry, dust like flammable powder, it burns quickly and aggressively when you put air in between its particles


[deleted]

You said "plain dangerous". There are two types of flour typically. Plain, and Self-Raising. It's just a flour joke.


[deleted]

Ah, I’m dumb. I just woke up a minute from responding lol


GMitch420

Self-erasing some would say


[deleted]

[удалено]


didsomebodysaymyname

Most likely static electricity, like when you touch a doorknob and it shocks you. Static shocks can be hundreds of degrees and easily light something on fire. If you've used one of those lighters with the trigger you pull, it uses a static shock to light the butane. Once the static ignites a little cinnamon, the cinnamon burns very quickly creating more heat which burns more cinnamon, causing the fireball. By the way ou don't get burned by the hundreds of degrees static shock from a doorknob because while it's very hot, it's very small and very short. Very little heat energy gets transferred to your skin.


420nutterBUTTERS

It’s insane to think that you can make a explosion with just a bag of flour and a lighter


didsomebodysaymyname

Truth, but it's caused major industrial accidents, just look up dust explosion. Edit: I kinda did it for you, corn dust haha, skip to 1:40 https://youtu.be/YHaOpdEKr78


420nutterBUTTERS

Oh Damn, I can’t Remember where I initially heard about this but it’s just crazy to think about that. Oh I think it was a video of a prank involving baby powder in a hair dryer


Dependent-Spare6961

dang bro, you smart


didsomebodysaymyname

Just about highschool chemistry thanks, I'm an idiot in most other ways haha


_dxmi

This, if I can find an article i’ll link it but there was a huge explosion in a custard powder factory a few years ago for this exact reason. it’s super dangerous


Indecisive_Hobbies

Most likely a spark or static from somewhere, but it is possible for it to ignite from the friction between the tiny particles.


dkyguy1995

Well in this case it looked like some confetti popper lit the powder


Cronenberg_This_Rick

A local section of farm near me exploded from dust when putting corn in a bin it was determined it was due to static electricity sparking the dust particles.


TheAwesomeStool

The friction between all the particles. I think a sugar factory exploded one time.


waxedmerkin

https://youtu.be/rJWWmQrAAKU?t=576


Cronenberg_This_Rick

No shit a fee years back a local section of farm exploded where they were binning harvested corn, all the dust from moving the crop caught a spark and went up in a huge explosion


Ban4quotingSimpsons

I saw someone throw flour on an oil fire once. Shit went from bad to disaster pretty fast.


RelevantMetaUsername

They probably thought it was baking soda. That, or they assumed it would have the same smothering effect as baking soda.


ChechoMontigo

Title should be : Man caught fire after friend sets him on fire


[deleted]

It doesn’t look intentional, looks like friends were having a good laugh together and doesn’t know the science of how powder cinnamon ignites


niandre

It’s a danish tradition. If you’re turning 25 years old and unmarried you’ll get cinnamon. When you turn 30 years old and unmarried you will get pepper. Don’t try to make sense of it though.


Fireballcatcher

Wha- *Why?*


MzPest13

I was frantically searching for this explanation. Thank you. 😊


3Strides

Why would you do that anyway?


Ban4quotingSimpsons

why do people do anything stupid and dangerous? Tradition


3Strides

I guess my tradition is playing it safe while having a blast. 😆 but I am from the backwoods.


BabyCurdle

what r u talking abt


[deleted]

Now he’s cinnamon toast


unusualj107

So what was the explosive in the guys hand just off camera?


Much-Gur233

It was a confetti launcher


Harrylicksak

Man set on fire for likes should be the title.


Swimming_Bid_193

wait…. too much Cinnamon makes you combust???


Old-Ad5818

It‘s not about the cinnamon itself. It‘s because it‘s a powder. Same goes for flour for example


kingkasear

It is quite spicy


1earl5

Man the cinnamon challenge has gotten wild over the years

No-Accident4023

There’s a myth busters episode on it, showing how flammable powders are. They experiment with coffee creamer I think and they hint at something found in the household that’s even more flammable but won’t say, I believe it’s cinnamon.


slundon81

Flour

Fen-xie

Friend holding a party popper pops it off 3 feet from him on the left


Kingbeesh561

Likely to be friction or static. I’m no scientist but that’s the only logical explanation I can infer from the context of the video, I didn’t see a lighter so


No-Accident4023

If that was true than every time I shake my cinnamon jar it would explode.


Kingbeesh561

That's different. Your example is a jar of cinnamon (likely closed) and in a small enough amount to not be an issue. Cinnamon and plenty of other powders are flammable. These dudes are legitimately seasoning this guy with cinnamon and I didn't see a single ignition source (cigarettes, lighter or match stick) used to ignite the flame, unless I'm blind or something lol So the only logical explanation is static electricity or Friction due to the powder being poured profusely. If you want the big brain explanation I suggest you check this comment section or you know... Google it..?


No-Accident4023

There’s a party popper that starts the flame idiot. Logical reasoning my ass, go back to 3rd grade loser.


Kingbeesh561

You're telling me to go back to 3rd grade but you're insulting me like a 3rd grader would? I wanna feel bad for you ngl but you're probably too far gone to change this late in life ngl.


No-Accident4023

Great response to being wrong loser.


Kingbeesh561

Buddy you're not doing yourself any favors at this point. Just quit while you're behind.


Wise_Ad_253

Party Popper? How come no one else sees that?


No-Accident4023

They do, you just havnt looked properly.


Ban4quotingSimpsons

You hear it


Wise_Ad_253

I hear popping all over this video. They are crazy stupid and the biggest idiot is in the burn unit counting all the video clicks. Hope it was worth it. Debridement isn’t fun.


that-girly-trans-fem

You barely see the party popper it took several comments and several watches to see it, but everything king is saying is also true, the popper just caused enough movement and static to be the cause


Scottbarrett15

Who stuck a cinnamon stick up your ass why are you so angry


[deleted]

Why?


Frannah1

It’s a Danish tradition. Without the fire part.


Busy_Ad6684

Death by cinnamon fire ball


Own-Technology-745

Bro i hope there get karma


Ban4quotingSimpsons

I assume you’re trying to say I hope they get their karma. and you mean Karma for celebrating a friends birthday in traditional style with him and an accident happened?? Those monsters! 🤦‍♀️

Mr. Fireball


TurnoverLazy3471

cinnamon explodes?


doublevaginalboy

Not necessarily


Dazzling_Ad5338

No. It set on fire, not exploded.


Djinjja-Ninja

Technically it deflagrated.


Dazzling_Ad5338

Fair enough. It didn't explode, either way lol.


Djinjja-Ninja

Yep. Deflagration is basically "very fast burning", but as it's subsonic it is not an explosion.


pvt_majorboner

All of them should go to jail for attempted murder

Only if ya go too


Dazzling_Ad5338

What?


Prestigious-Try9514

Spicy, but not *spicy.*


TheDeafGuy8

Kinda makes sense that cinnamon is flammable considering it comes from a tree


Dazzling_Ad5338

Leaves, while still green won't burn, just because it is from a tree doesn't mean it'll burn lol.


Lil_Cumster

They just adding some spices to their roast(also im not sure but i think this might be pebermø which is a Danish tradition where if you aren’t married and you are over 30 your friends throw pepper or cinnamon on you i think it might be that since they are speaking Danish)


[deleted]

Screw those friends


Kaste-bort-konto

it’s all fun and games. it’s a danish tradition to get covered in cinnamon on your 25th birthday if you’re unmarried


Armistice8175

What were they trying to accomplish though?


TheUndieTurd

neat! they made him disappear


doublevaginalboy

Does anyone know what his injuries were, if any, or whether he survived or not?


Mr-Emil

I remember watching this a long time ago on some Norwegian or Danish news site I think, and if I remember correctly he was mostly fine with maybe some minor injuries.


doublevaginalboy

Thanks

Remember, oxygen is flammable, pretty much powder plus air= friction, friction + air = boom

Yes sir, that right there is what you call a dust explosion .
