@@griffinjelly3547 or are they just saying. That world government is a conspiracy. To hide the actual truth with a conspiracy. Thay was actually started. By someone in the government. To hide the actual truth. After somebody's conspiracy, was getting to close🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I did this years ago by making a HHO generator out of an old car battery that would not longer hold a charge. You could see the water level though the white side of the battery. I let it run until the water level was real low. I have no idea how much gas was in the tunnel but when it lite it off the blast rattled every window on my street and some one called the cops. By the time they got there I had hide the HHO generator and hide my self as well. I only did that once.

we came here from England and within a week of being here, some kids from down the road said hey you wanna go gopher hunting I was like sure I guess....put it this way I didn't eat anything or a week.
It's guys like you keep on running the gas and yakking at the camera instead of paying attention to the time of how long he run the gas that end up eventually blowing themselves up along with the whole neighborhood
A Calico cat will dig them right out of the ground while you watch from your kitchen window. They stalk and listen, stalk and listen, then pounce and dig dig dig really fast with their front legs throwing the dirt out between their hind legs like a dog. Then they stick their head down in the hole and "Pop!" up they come with their prize.
When you were "studying" your rodent control methods was there possibly a coyote named Wylie C Genius, a long eared rabbit that said "what's up doc" or a purple road runner anywhere in the curriculum ???
@@shiftyy6756 on a different note. It was interesting how all their products were "acme". Then one day i woke up and noticed that in real life, everything is by one company "google"
I kinda did that once with a mouse. That little gap under the drywall sheet where your floor woodwork goes was not in yet, and a box was in the corner. One side of the corner was already up, so the opening just dead ended. I got a regular propane torch out, and pointed the nozzle into the hole and turned it in for a few seconds. Removed the torch and got the Bic out. A little “FOOF” happened, and the now singed mouse ran out of there like nobody’s business. The cat managed to get him right after.

Did that once with gasoline pushing the vapor with a small fan. Ignited with waterproof fuse and then spent the next half hour putting out the flaming chunks of sod that were spread upwards of 40 feet from the original tunnel. I had a oxy/acetylene torch but never thought to try that. Pretty cool.
I was expecting gopher corpses to fly up in the air, I feel short changed, I also may have to write a stiff worded letter to the daily mail. ,, unless I see some mangled rodent corpses.
Freezer Freezer My uncle did the same except he never knew the tunnel went under his shed and his shed got massacred and he had to buy just about everything new that was in there
Tickel My Tea YT ...... sounds like you’re uncle did a wee bit of Insurance fraud hahaha Suddenly it all becomes clear lol I like your uncle!!! He’s my kinda guy!!!
Even if they were there, they'd be 18" deep at minimum and wouldn't detonate most likely even if struck by the explosion. There just wouldn't be enough Oxygen to ignite the gas.
My brother and I did something like this when we were kids and our parents had a house in the country, except we used our mom's hair spray which we sprayed for about half a minute at a time into a gopher tunnel opening. Then we stepped back, lit a match away from the opening and tossed it in the hole. It exploded with a loud "whump" sound, but nowhere near as loud as what this guy on the video did. We saw the dirt slightly lift up all along the path of the horizontal tunnel, then it collapsed slightly downward. We did it on about three or four gopher tunnels around the yard, but stayed away from the house just in case. Mom probably wondered why her hairspray was getting used up so fast.
Even though this is 6 years ago. The reason for the delayed explosion is because the oxygen and propane around the steel wool needs to hit certain percentile ranges before it will actually ignite. Its better to use more propane then oxygen because you can always just wait. Also if you were using air not actually oxygen then u might wanna re think your ratios.
Not quite. You actually want more oxygen than fuel. The stoichiometric oxygen requirement for propane is 4.3:1 for maximum combustion and flame temperatures. The higher the temperature, the higher the gas expansion and in an explosion, its all about the volume of gas expansion.
When I saw the video's title and what it said, I instantly thought about the movie Caddyshack when Bill Murray blew up the freaking golf course with a C4 squirrel. 😆
Awesome video, but I prefer just a common road flare. Place it in the hole after lighting, cover the hole. Do not cover the other connecting holes, that way the poison gas flows out and into all of the tunnels. Any gopher that escapes out is dazed, confused and easily dispatched with a .22short or a pellet gun. Much quieter and neighbors don’t get all bent.
Well, a few problems here. Did you calculate the 1 min of oxy-propane as you call it to cover the entire run of tunnels? Another helpful hint always use a neutral flame on the cutting torch for the best mix and lose the propane and get a bottle of good ole acetylene. The neutral flame on a good cutting tip or a rosebud running a little lean will produce the desired effect. You also need better igniter. I use 3 strands of fine copper wire and a black cat wrap the 3 strands around the fuse. Use several more extension cords and a 12-volt battery that's in fair condition. Walk off the tunnels and use 4" diameter average hole size to calculate the cubic feet. WARNING IF IT IS VERY LARGE DO IT IN SECTIONS UNLESS YOU LIVE A VERY LONG WAY FROM NEIGHBORS,LIVESTOCK, WILD ANIMALS, OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KEEP!
You got here after a landing gear minced a deer, cyclists retching at deer juice, deer into a fence, flying deer vs car, flying deer vs car into truck-kun
no, the exhaust contains carbon dioxide and heat in addition to carbon monoxide, burrowing mammals are extremely sensitive to carbon dioxide, and air temperature. the gopher will abandon the burrow before the CO can incapacitate and kill him, and he'll just dig somewhere else near by or head to a different burrow. you'd have to plug every burrow entrance and trap him in the burrow. because the gas used here contained oxygen, and the fuel gas unburnt is non toxic... the gopher wouldn't have tried to escape.
When I worked as a mechanic for a private golf course we used to go out and clear gophers. We had a specially built system called the Gopher Getter that was oxy/propane, but it was attached to a nozzle with an igniter built right in. Had huge tanks attached to the back of a golf cart and wired it into the cart electrical system. We'd stuff the nozzle in the hole, drive and park about 50' away since that was how much hose we had and let it rip. Never had to get out of the cart. Good times.
