Do Not try to charge a LiPo Battery like this! 

FIRST Hit the video with a thumbs up if you liked it, don't forget about notifications too! Whats inside a battery? Regret...and Fire.

What was it Adam Savage said? "The Only Difference Between Screwing Around and Science Is Writing It Down"

I love that you added the “don’t breathe this” from the blendtec guy

About 40 years ago I worked in a Navy R&D facility that started using some of the very earliest prototype lithium batteries which were made by GTE. I don't remember the exact chemistry but it was a double D size that was 3.6V/10Ahr. Massive capacity for the day. Turned out that GTE never tested the proto batteries for what happens if they got shorted. Since we were going to be putting the batteries in things that would be in salt water, we did. They EXPLODED with a force equivalent to 1/3 stick of dynamite. GTE later solved that minor testing oversight. I believe they put a compound into the mix which impedes the rate of discharge so they won't explode. I believe that's true for most (all?) lithium batteries. Now they can just overheat and catch fire.

Haha this was great. We've poked holes and over-charged a 6s 6200mAH -- nice fireball from that!

Laser canon AND defusing bombs? **laughs in FBI**

4:49 at this moment I can see a real version of Dr Doofenshmirtz

him: 'smokey smoke, dont breth this" the neighbour: "hmm they are making a bbq" also the neighbour: *dies of toxic gases*

Every episode you post just further proves that my Elementary School teachers were wrong when they told me that "Mad Scientist" was not a viable career path.

I love how he casually owns all this stuff that could start a revolution, laser cannons, flamethrowers, you name it

4:06 famous last words

Just want to say you’re experiments are an inspiration,I’m a local of Florida with no education yet thrive to understand science and what it has to offer . Would love see an experiment first. Keep doing what your doing and get the world excited about science #backyard Scientists for life

I love it how you explain how dangerous the laser is, then point it towards a road

Well, now I know to make sure not to incinerate my LiPo battery with a 30w fiber laser in a pure oxygen environment.

2:07 POWER!! UNLIMITED POWER!

Goofing around and having fun in the best ways!!! Thanks again for this

Instructions:DO NOT- RU-vidr:Hey guys today we are blowing stuff up

67 degrees chilly XD Laughs in northern

You are my kind of scientist and perform great experiments!

I've opened a few lithium batteries recently, after one managed to be punctured inside the laptop and literally melted half of it nearly setting the house on fire I've found them fascinating. I have high school level knowledge of biology and chemistry but I never understood why a punctured lion battery had a very aromatic, sweet smell when disturbed, until you mentioned the organic solvent contained within.

Dadgummit man! I approve these shenanigans

My chemistry teacher showed the video of you putting molten salt in water to my class and everyone loved it.

"Don't let it overcharge" "What you mean 'overcha-'" *loud explosion sounds*

See, we need people like you in our lives! Keep it up

*OH MY GOD!* *67 degrees oh you poor thing that’s just absolutely freezing!* *-Love from -40 Wyoming*

@ TheBackyardScientist I’d recommend mounting a normal green laser on the big laser o death thing to help aim it.

lol you're like Rick from Rick and morty. mad scientist vibes lmao love it. Keep on keepin on brother

Battery: says not to do stuff Backyard scientist: looks like it’s Opposite Day!

"it's down to 67 degrees so i grabbed a jacket" kowalski, analysis

1. Liked it! 2. No advertising, loved it!

The battery blowing up was awesome. Probably my favorite thing Ive seen on this channel!

This is one of those videos where I will actually heed the "don't try at home" warning

More telescope laser please, like test how far away you can light stuff on fire from, love your videos

glad you are the one doing the goofing Good on your crew

3:36 I hope it is natural fibers as well...

Uses high power laser, points it at his gate so anyone walking/driving behind that will be in its line of fire, then uses a invisible spectrum so you get no warming when your eyes melt.

“It’s getting a little chilly it’s down to 67 degrees” lmao

I remember attempting to replace the lithium battery in my old phone. I had to use a knife to separate the battery from the case because Apple uses an absurd amount of glue to hold them in place. Anyway, I poked a hole in the battery, magic smoke went everywhere, and I was sick for the rest of the day because apparently your not supposed to breath that smoke in

*the next flex tape commercial is here* I sawed this battery in half!

“It’s getting a little chilly, its down to 67 degrees.” Everybody who lives in or near the Rocky Mountains. “Really?”

Thank you man you teach me a lot about this stuff I love your videos to

Holy crap, was that an audio clip from Will It Blend at 3:15, love it!

"It's like trying to defuse a bomb... wait can I say that?" "No" DEMONITIZED! 😆😆😆😆

Good luck finding a reasonable quote on life insurance. On the bright side who ever writes your obituary could have a best seller.

You sir, are an absolute madman.

That laser telescope thingy is terrifying. That's a lot of energy

GOD : do not eat that fruit RU-vidr : HI WHAT'S UP GUYS, NOW WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO EAT THAT FRUIT BECAUSE GOD SPECIFICALLY SAID DO NOT EAT IT GOD: am i a joke to you?

3:14 You can overcharge an LiPo Battery, but the question is...will it blend?

Enjoying what you do here. make sure to up your safety game so we can enjoy for a long time to come.

TBS: *makes a 30w laser cannon* StyroPyro: are you challenging me?

“This will be fun” Newly discovered survival tool to start a fire, Lithium Ion Batteries

4:25 Rip GoPro

Florida man: puts on jacket in 67 degree weather Me: laughs in midwestern

Thank God you were wearing your OSHA approved hoodie and sunglasses! 😅 I wonder why firefighters aren't using them. Great video, please keep making them!!

For maximim effect, charge slowly to about 4.7V so the lithium actually contains all the energy possible

You are an irresponsible fool. Love your videos.

battery: "combusts" ... ... sandra: "...oops"

Love the blendtech Will it blend reference. My childhood right there

Styropyro would be proud!

6:12 you should sell that weapon to the military

You are cold here in Maine the temperature you said we call summer love your channel

Nice to see that some instructions don't lie

Laser and exploding batteries... Not something crazy. Got it. Hahah

"Hey, my phone's almost dead. You got a charger I can use?" This Dude: "Uhhhh... Yeah... As long as you like Fires"

One of those blew up in my hand, I was very lucky that I had gloves on and that I was able to throw it outside before it caught anything on fire

The perfect battery has both high power density and current density. This requires an intimate mixture of fuel and oxidizer; also known as a bomb.

"Its getting chill, its 60 to 70 degrees." *Disapproves in Oregonian*

Sounds like a regular Sunday afternoon really, awesome 😎

thebackyard scientist im a big fan of you kevin please make more fun science videos

6:31 that was like a firework show

1:34 now i see how magicians do the fire trick

yea well.. takes all sorts . great video . stay safe ish .

i love this kind of content!

I'm glad i saw this, i was just a few minutes from trying to charge mine with the 30w laser. glad to see you're still making videos and (hopefully) not getting hurt in the process

2:40 when apple says that they have super fast wireless charging

Thank you for teaching me how to make a death ray

love the will it blend reference

Ahh, this was beautiful to see! Nice vid man.

Wow. That is actually *EXACTLY* what i thought would happen if you overcharged a battery like that.

OMG A LEAK OF THE NEW NEXT GEN WIRELES CHARGING.... OMG 2:27

thanks man, I was also planning to charge my batteries with a tesla coil

This is awesome! I work in a battery franchise store but I’ve never seen a battery blow up on anything other than security camera footage because it’s rare that someone tries to video it as such a close range in such an awesome enclosed environment. Amazing!

Imagine who had to figure out all the things that you shouldn't do to these batteries...

That just reminded me of all those old RC plane packs that I need to get rid of 👍

"I thought it would be fun to try all the things it says not to do . . . " I love it. Very funny.

I could smell the fumes through the computer

I love the small editing, they're very simple and charming. And as a video editor, I keep thinking how I would love to edit these videos.

Your giving me bad ideas....I love it...

I didn’t here or see any ‘don’t try this at home’ warnings, so Imma go do this now

I could be doing homework right now or be practicing my trumpet for my huge concert in like less than 2 week Nah, I’m gonna watch a guy mess around with batteries

You cannot charge a lithium battery via a tesla coil because of the floating voltage. The voltage of tesla coil is high but the circuit just isn't complete. There would be no current flow and no overcharge. To actually overcharge a battery charge it fully, then connect it to an unregulated DC power supply. The battery would heat up and swell. That's when you know that you have done it right.

“Getting a little bit chilly, it’s 67 degrees”

I don't know which is better, the projects, filming or the jokes.

The Backyard scientist: I made sure we are at safe distance! People passing by at the sidewalk: OH LORD JHESUS

3:16 The "Will it blend" reference really got me xD Worth my like ! :D

Will It Blend is the bomb, great reference!

LOVE the Will it Blend reverence classic RU-vid!

0:01 *clears throat* Lithium Polymer

4:17 One like=one respect for this gopro
