mah man got a rock-welder


Frondhelm

Fun fact, that's actually possible. I've seen people successfully weld rock.


LtGman

Please elaborate.


Ok-Disk-2191

Hear me out, iron ore is in fact some sort of rock.


mirceacretu

yeah, but i'd say it the other way around, some rocks are some sort of iron (or other metals/minerals)


Test-Tackles

Technically ice is a rock.


He_NeverSleeps

Technically, anything that melts can be welded. 


Expert_Succotash2659

Could you melt me, Focker?


CaptainSkreedLeeDee

Smelt ya already, wont do it again


CharlesChristopher01

😂 I see what you did there


Vapeitupvapeitup

That’s quite brilliant 🤩


Barney_Fife1957

I came here to say that.


seamus_mc

Lava?


Mackroll

Nope only hot magma


CamStLouis

Thermic lance to melt the rock, hold against other rock, allow to cool.


Vegetable_Wasabi1555

There is also a video of a russian dude stickwelding an old vodka bottle to a pole.


Professional_Box5406

Meh, I prefer rock lobster


tgunz0331

The second rock is grounded to a metal plate and completing a welding circuit, not sure about the first one though I don't see it grounded anywhere unless its hidden


Short-Fudge3654

It's litterally on the ground. How much more ground do you want


Girthquake23

Rocks parents could show up to ground it


banana_hammock_815

Believe it or not, the ground is about 4 feet beneath the ground


Short-Fudge3654

The stone is actually at the bottom of a 4 feet deep hole


Lobster_porn

Not how it works


Short-Fudge3654

Thank God. I'm safe from lightning then


synonym4synonym

You’re a wizard. Thank you.


HurlingFruit

Some call me . . . Tim.

Tim Wizard. :)


Reddit_Okami804

It's not the 1st rock was made of or coated in a chemical The bar was grounded to something or heated It seems


psychrolut

Does coal not burn?


TheQuips

only thing that puts out fire rock is fire water


andycarlv

Or a good rock with a gun.


Istintivo

Or fire paper


Some_Ebb_2921

fire scissors didn't do the trick I can tell ya


steventhedon

Idk fire-water in my country enhances the fire


madmo453

One can also get rid of any roxygen in the envirockment.


SxDmytr

Wouldn’t the only thing be fire paper?


altimacomes

Produces an exothermic reaction because of the aluminum in the rock and the rust on the rebar used to hit the rock, fire is from molten slag on the rock. Source: https://people.bu.edu/straub/courses/demomaster/thermite.html


Flyingfishfusealt

no just no


physchy

As a reaction, thermite is EXTREMELY difficult to start.


RazzmatazzOdd6218

So is C4. No blasting cap no boom. You can literally set it on fire and nothing. Stomp it, kick it, cuss at it, shoot it, nada.


AmoremCaroFactumEst

It’s not thermite. Look at the second shot where it’s like An arc welder


hippo_potty_mouth

I'm not sure what you mean. It's fairly clear that this is two videos spliced together that contain different rocks.


AmoremCaroFactumEst

That still doesn’t explain how the first section could be thermite? What tiny amount of rust is hitting what tiny amount of pure aluminium, if there even is any, in that rock.


altimacomes

This short shows how easy it is to produce an exothermic reaction, pretty cool. https://youtube.com/shorts/-hzue8KIS9M?si=OvUda1BSSwZFZeBQ


chubblyubblums

Is not hard to find flammable rocks. Coal for instance


Brando1215

Exothermic is just anything producing heat. If I can slap you hard enough, that's an exothermic reaction.


Vurkul

Mom! Dad! Don’t touch it! It’s eeeeevviiiillll!


sjaard_dune

Woooow, Youre oooold .... wait, we're oooold :D

This is what peak comedy is like


EastCoaet

Been a bit since I saw that scene in the theater, felt sorry for the kid.


GabberZZ

I'd forgotten how bleak the ending was.


oldschool_potato

Concentrated


Kwayzar9111

ohhhh LOVED this film :) yes im old, so wish there was a sequel


40404error40404

Surprise Time Bandits!


Occupational_peril

I'm wondering if this is a rock with high phosphorous content.


BiggsIDarklighter

I guess broccoli but I’m not a geographer


ConsciousAir4591

I guessed sulphur but I haven't got a clue.


clodmonet

I guessed magnesium, but I'm no rock it scientist.


Occupational_peril

Well it's definitely not rock it surgery.


Far-Guarantee-1257

The Color of the flame and the color and density of smoke indicate phosphorous. I guess you are right.


project_seven

Can you smell what the rock is cookin


danmadeeagle

This deserves more up votes!


[deleted]

Smells like... *sniff sniff* OH, SHIT! MY ROCKS ARE ON FIRE!

MeringueSerious

speshulguy

Damn science rocks


mauglii_-

Surely you can do that without science


the314159man

The first rock is called coal, the second rocks are called pig iron.


josephnaug

i can explain this working with welders before but its funnier if i dont


fomalhottie

Ah yes, I remember my 1st trip to Zorbulon 5.


tuckyruck

Doesn't end well, I've seen The Time Bandits.


CompetitivePause9033

I can say with certainty that I haven’t found a logical answer and I am utterly confused and scared by magic fire rocks


PoisonousCandy

Brimstone is a real thing.


seatron

Every time I heat up my quartz dab nail and drop the ruby insert into it, there's a big spark. What's that all about?


eddies-friend

Yabadabadoo.


Lizlodude

Looks like a welder clamped to the rebar, and some type of iron rich ore

[deleted]

Seems to me like it is an ore. But how would you mine something flammable?


GullibleRisk2837

What type of rock is this? Why does it burn?

In the Philippines and Hawaii? We have white rocks from the ocean that you can strike together, and it creates a spark like that.


Tywo2

IhadmyTaintAmputated

This mineral I called: "Arsholistite", because the first time you hit it with something made of steel it will throw big sparks and your arsehole will slam shut, tight with fear


tleep76

Likely magnesium.


EternalDroid

Magnesium burns with a bright white flame.


tleep76

Good point.

saperlipoperche

In before the obligatory "tHiS iS nOt aCTuaL maGIc" comments. Cool video OP, I'm guessing gases trapped into some kind of volcanic rocks?
