How fast can you make a hole into the frozen lake with a jackhammer? Or how about red hot one? We tested just that Frozen Lake Mobile game DOWNLOAD LINKS: Android play.google.com/store/apps/de... Ios itunes.apple.com/us/app/froze...
6:02 Imagine taking the jackhammer bit back to the, whatever, jackhammer store, and saying "Hey, this bent the first time I used it!" And the guy just looks at it like "how tf did you do this"
In my mind, watching you calmly jackhammer your way through the ice you're standing on helps explain why Russia, despite its huge military, was never able to conquer Finland.
I'm sorry if this offends any Finnish people reading this, but in my experience finish people just tend to neglect safety to a larger extent than people from most other nations
If you live in a place that gets ice like this. You learn to predict how it behaves. There is no risk cutting or hammering ice and standing next to it. Hell... If you want, you can stand next to an active icebreaker. Which is something that is often done in Archipelago where you need icebreakers to reach some of the more remote areas. People walk right next to it, the cargo is loaded and unloaded just a meter off the hull. Ice isn't like glass or hardened steel. It doesn't shatter. It is actually softer than you imagine. This is how glaciers move over land, the ice bends and forms under pressure like... tar or asphalt. It might seem solid, but actually it is anything but.
This unwittingly demonstrates, to conspiracy theorists, why steel doesn't have to get anywhere near "melting point" for steel-framed buildings to fall down.
Michael Smith: it doesn't need to melt them, it only needs to get them as hot as Laurie's propane torch gets his jackhammer tool. Can't you believe the evidence of your own eyes?
Redhotsmasher: I think you are, but, three points: In the context of 9/11, all the jet fuel had to do was heat the steel to approaching blacksmith's forge temperatures, which are way below the melting point of steel. At which point, the steel is about as stiff as butter, as you can see in this very video! If this was not so, the last 2,500 years of human history would be very different, because this is what the iron age was based on: you can shape iron and steel at a fraction of the melting point. Otherwise we'd still be in the Bronze age. The insides of jet engines, in which jet fuel is normally burned, are made of wolfram steel alloy, because ordinary carbon steel would melt. The reason why China hasn't produced many J16 fighters, is that they are having difficulty making an alloy that stands the temperatures in the engine core. It definitely isn't true that no steel-framed building has ever collapsed in a fire, apart from on 9/11. When I was at school, many years before 9/11, we were shown a film about the London Fire Brigade, which stated that firemen were most worried about fighting fires in steel-reinforced late Victorian buildings, because the steel beams expanded in the heat and broke the structure, long before they even got as hot as Laurie's jackhammer tool. Older Georgian buildings, with horizontal structures (floors and roof) made of wooden beams, did not fall down in the same way: the coefficient of expansion is lower -and charred wood around the outside of the beam insulates the core from the heat, so the beam doesn't shove the structure sideways in the same way. This became very clear during the Nazi blitz on the warehouses of the London Docklands, because time after time the ones that fell down were the ones with steel beams in. This was one of the greatest mass burnings of reasonably standardised buildings in history, and it provided a lot of firefighting data and experience, as well as taking many firemen's lives.
I believe it's a block of red-hot steel. Anyway, you too can have your own red hot picture! Just click the "SPONSOR" button below the thumbs-up button.
Fun video man, you made so many videos on that day that you will be uploading these until summer. Can you make a video where you straighten the tool of the jackhammer ?
Surprised with the results but still fun. Good thing there are no fish in the lake or they would be saying "Oh no, what are those two doing up there now?" lol
I would not have expected that point to bend if I had tried this. But I did know glowing metal is easily forged under great pressure. Funny how those two facts didn't connect in my brain before seeing that point bend in the ice, lol. I was like, "Oh yeah...... duuuhhhhh". :P
Haahaa OMG that was funny how it just bent up like a hook, great though for lifting that bit of ice.. I've head of a cold chisel, I think you've just invented a Hot chisel :D
Ice produces really strange sounds if you hear impacts from further away. Could you maybe place some microphones in different distances if you do stuff like jackhammering the poor lake to hear these effects?
Question from an Australian who has never encountered a frozen lake - When you cut holes in the lake, do those spots re-freeze fully and if they do, how quickly do they re-freeze to solid?
