Tactical Thermite Powered Hot Dog 

I'm curious about a hot dog with more than a single use. 😐

Because we discovered quantum tunneling before we invented the single use instant hot dog.

@@SecondaryHomunculus It is multi-use if you use it to play star wars

@@Gandhi_Physiquewith your best bud

​@@SecondaryHomunculus Dear God, I can't comprehend it, yet I can't unsee it at the same time

I mean if disposable vapes are a thing I can't see why you can't put a hotdog in a heated coil.

Obviously we want a grilled version what are we, poor?

Vote me in too.

Same

Seems like that would be too easy. Batteries and wire = grilled hotdog. Boiling with thermite is definitely crazier than that.

When it's introduced to the hero, someone says not to look at it It's used as a Cheklov's flashbang in the finale

This is amazing because it is better storytelling then 90% of modern story telling and was made off a little creativity and a thermite hot dog cooker.

The protagonist is in a damaged ship deep in space. Federation ships have done enough damage to their ship to render its fusion reactor inoperable, completely cutting all power to the ship. The federation is closing in and are just about to capture the ship to transport it to their prisoner system. The protagonist is locked in the cockpit, the doors sealed shut without power. All they have in the room with them is a military ration kit and an emergency fusion battery, which just minutes ago amongst the fighting shattered after a rough impact, throwing glass everywhere and snapping the delicate electronics inside. This battery is the protagonist’s last hope. They plug it into the control panel’s circular intake slot but nothing-the fusion battery is too damaged to make a proper connection. Federation ships finally close the distance and are getting into position to latch onto the disabled craft. The protagonist paces around the room, eyeing the battery and the ration kit. Suddenly, a moment of inspiration strikes. They rip open the ration kit and rummage around, looking for something specific. They grip the single-use instant hot dog and yank it from the bag. They smash the hot dog against the console, spilling water onto the floor and sending the hot dog flying. They take a loose piece of metal from the console and yank it loose, using the sharp tip to undo the screws and seams at the base of the instant hot dog. The device is ripped open and thermite powder pours onto the protagonist’s hand. They shake out the rest and cup it in their palm and assemble it inside the fusion battery, coating two broken pieces of electronics inside the battery and pressing them together. The protagonist fishes the igniter from inside the instant hot dog and pinches it with their finger, striking the tiny sharp igniter against the thermite powder. A burst of light and a small fire immediately emerges, burning the protagonist’s fingers in the process, but they still hold the broken pieces together. The thermite burns brightly and disappears just as fast, welding the broken components back together. The protagonist then carefully grabs the fusion battery and slots it into the control panel, and the lights and readouts on the panel spring to life. The battery begins spinning and wobbling with instability, but the roar of the engines in the back of the ship emerges just before the Federation secures the ship. The protagonist immediately shoves the thruster’s lever forward and the ship zips off

@@tpd1864blakethis was a fun read thank you for that

Or a joke item a DM gives you in D&D that you end up using the thermite for an actual useful purpose.

Specifically a common-ish but fairly useless item if there's a comedic tone. If it's a more serious game it'll have 3 paragraphs of flavour text that explains that they are no longer readily produced because they had a tendency to explode sometimes.

Ok but what if in the future this becomes a popular thing and they perfect it so much that you can get one safely at a convenience store

golden comment right here 😂

Almost like backyard chemists are just hiding their true hobby and the DHS would like a word?

if it makes you feel any safer, professional chemical plants have to actively avoid being a series of really big pipe bombs. They're mostly successful.

And a bomb(basically a gunpowder replacement)​@@nikkiofthevalley

the best part i think is that that was the final device just if you forget to remove the seal, so if you were to buy this you'd be getting a 2 in 1, insta hotdog and a pipe bomb!

There was actually a self-microwaving bavarian cream dog in futurama that did exactly this. we're living in the future.

@@SlightlySchizophrenic as long as you got a truck load of self cooking hotdogs. You'll be fine! Lol

What about the bun? >.>

@marksmithwas12 dammit! You're right! Now they need a single serve bun toaster.

You can use it when watching informative content or otherwise learning something new or reviewing information and someone asks what you are doing. It's going to come off as very pretentious though. I know what you meant of course, but this is the best a lot of us will get.

It took millions of years of evolution to get to the instant hot dog

I mean, your you is made of them and self-care is important. So.. you already have context.

self-care and mental health is a proper context i think

makes you really appreciate the cooking device in modern MREs

The bomb squad threat did ruin the most interesting part though.

They did not mention the cadmium in the solder. That is something I would not want in any cooking device.

@@pattheplanterI mean they did plate over all the solder with Nickel as well

@@cbtillery135 What is the point of this comment? You just took a quote from the video and put a skull emoji at the end of it. Why leave this comment? 💀

how do they disagree? it seems the disciplines agree for the most part on cathode and anode.

The way I remember it is anions are attracted to anodes, cations are attracted to cathodes. If you just think in terms of "cat-" and "an-" being positive or negative you'll get confused.

Haidilao has some self-heating hotpot meals that are kinda like the thing in Cowboy Bebop, just a lot less exciting or fast lol

There are tons of (almost) self heating noodles in Japan, all you have to do is to add vater and wait a bit

Military rations also use self heating packs@@user-lw6vj1tr9k

​@@user-lw6vj1tr9kThis. I was going to say Japan is where you'll find these things already existing. Americans don't adopt the same practices because the people running their lives know they aren't responsible enough. Besides... we sell sternol and shit over here- so they probably would fight in the stores about instant noodle heaters. (which are probably both literally the same products btw)

I came back to say... I only know some of these things exist in Japan because of Dagashi Kashi 😅 It's not "just" about snacks- but it's also about snacks. I don't know many anime but I picked it at random one day years ago and just watched all of S1... I recommend it. 😂 (There seems to be an English dub online now, as well!)

Jonnef!

yea i caught that too. WHAT HAPPEND??

Whatever it is, it happened twice so...

"if i had a nickel for every time the bomb squad came down to my lab i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's odd that it's happened twice"

A tasty pipe bomb.

I hate when it happens

It could be worse, you could just waste a hot dog. At least you get something out of this deal!

Y'all got any of them crack dogs?!

Now introducing "instant cancer"!

Mmm, a nice painful 'welding sun burn' 😂 The people will love it.

CANCER BLAST!!!​@@justasiggurk4614

instant sun tan. you entire months dose of sunlight condensed into a single packet

A channel called Bigclive has a couple videos on the commercial equivalent of that

I mean, as long as you 1. don't touch it while plugged in and 2. don't blow the fuse, you should be fine..? Not that I'd recommend this but there is probably less safe things you could be doing.

this is (kinda) how panko bread crumbs are made. they use electricity to cook the bread from the inside out

They made devices that did this in the late 50s and early 60s. They aren't really dangerous provided the device is designed so the user could come in contact with the live 120v spikes the hot dogs are attached to. For whatever reason it seems that would curve the hot dog in these devices which led to the hot dogs often breaking. It seems they had a metal strip in the lid to complete the circuit as a safety. Other than setting off a smoke detector by burning up a hot dog the hot dog itself becomes the fuse so it's relatively safe but it seems youd be left with half charred electrocuted hot dog half the time. A cool gimmick but kind of overkill for a hot dog. Especially when you can grill hotdogs in your kitchen with a foreman grill now.

Not a particularly feasible nor easy means of demolition. The reason classical thermite is used for welding is that it leaves behind metal residue that helps join the two pieces together. You could stress or weaken key beams, but even that's not really all that reliable a method. Shaped charges are quicker, easier, and far more effective.

@@Nixeu42with a plane it was much easier to destroy a tower

Spoken like a programmer.

@@Yora21 Understand.

I don't know how feasible supercapacitors are for this project, but they're definitely safer than thermite, to the point this thing could probably be sold commercially (though I can't imagine who would buy it for anything but a one-time gag).

​@@dryued6874I mean if they're cheap enough and I want to go on a road trip: instant grilled hot dogs would be perfect for stopping at a rest stop and having a snack. Imagine a shelf stable version that was self contained in a vending machine or something. If it's cheap enough, and it comes with bun and condiments and it roasts the bun too, it would be awesome.

"38 mm."

Shhhhh

I think it was supposed to be a joke

There are a few brands of instant hot pot and noodles that use a commercial flameless ration heater. Kind of expensive, and a lot slower (about 15 minutes to heat to boiling), but very cool and very safe. They're marketed for camping.

Termite Ramen for the win.

All you need to do is replace the hotdog with the noodles. They just made something that boils water very fast, the hotdog was just the particular thing they put in it

@@mind_onion not quite, you want to keep noodles dry until you cook them or your just going to have starchy water. Though yes the termite is just a way to heat up the water. One that is self contained and needs very specific energy to ignite.

​@@lexiryka3550 If desired, mechanically separating the water and the noodles in a way that fails upon activation also seems pretty trivial. You'd just need to mechanically move some kind of barrier only very slightly. This seems not very difficult to implement, given the heating device, but I bet there are economic concerns that make the product nonviable. You'd need to somehow scam people into thinking that somehow the noodles are healthier prepared this way or something to justify the inflated price like they do with bottled water.

The heating device also looks like a stielhandgrenade (German ww2 grenade)

The crack dog

You want to eat a hotdog that's drenched with oil?

@@Jehty21 You know, it's true that I haven't tried a deep fried hotdog before, but I figure it wouldn't be that bad. Probably better than deep fried butter, and they already sell that at the fairway. I can't remember the last time I boiled my hot dogs. Not nearly as good as pan frying them or grilling them if the weather's good.

@@Jehty21 You don't?

@@Jehty21 if you use the oil used in deep fryers it actually pretty good. Assuming you wipe off the oil with a paper towel first, as to not soak your bun.

​@@maddockemerson4603deep fried hotdog sounds fire bruh

I had a look at that and couldn't find out what the other ingredients are. Whatever they are, I would not be happy with just covering cadmium with a thin electroplating of nickel.

yay yummy cadmium!

Woof, cadmium is no joke

It even says cadmium on the product safety sheet under the Toxicological Information section... definitely not food safe

'Reproductive Toxicity'? never seen that one, what is that tested on? Rabbit?

theyre supposed to be boiled bruh.

I agree boiled is iffy. Grilled is the way to go.

As in, actually warmed all the way through, not 'cooked in the subjective way people like'.

Only real Gs know the true best way to eat a hotdog. Uncooked, straight from the package, nibble the skin off all around the dog like corn on the cob then enjoy the center shaft meat.
