Powerful Exploding BEAN CAN

[CharlesHopper]

Cool. I used to work in Product Development at a cannery. If you fill a can with product, seam it, but don't process it in the retort, then the bacteria inside will grow. give off a gas and eventually the can will explode like this of it's own accord. I left a can of broccoli & stilton soup on the bench over the weekend by accident, came back on Monday morning and it was on the ceiling. The smell was something else. :-)

[Inediblehulk]

I heard there would be a "cool little explosion", so I tried this on a bonfire, standing about ten feet back. I would have even been closer if it wasn't such a hot fire. I don't know if the beans, the can or something else in the fire hit me, but it left a very painful red and black mess on my midsection and ruined a decent shirt. Someone else caught it in the arm. Not worth it, in normal speed.

Would love to see you guys blow a 50 gallon drum of beans.

[GerbilEssences]

This normally happens after I eat beans.

[lukequixotesanjose]

You can really see Newton's 3rd in action. Awesome stuff.

[angelonegrh]

Nice one.

We did this with a can of ravioli double the size on a festival.

It left quite a mess at our camp site :)

[jasonnra1]

Hahaha, that was great man!

[ryukenosuke]

News report - "Boston Baked Beans' stock suddenly fell through the floor after reports of cans exploding all across the United States. Scientific research suggests that the incidents occurred in a seemingly expanding ring originating in California from the backyard of a man named Jeff."

^_^

[ervans]

Well done, what did it sound like when it exploded?

[taofledermaus]

@ervans Thanks! It was loud, I thought the cops would show up kind of loud. lol

[foxproductionsinc1]

That's one way to cook your beans...

[goooodmann]

looool

I'm happy to live far away from you ... cause ... I hate beans

[taofledermaus]

@goooodmann It had a funky, beany smell too. haha

[billhaley1868]

Today's forcast, partly cloudy with a chance scattered beans!

[nwrepka]

That is so epic... I have no words.

[thomassmyth65]

lots of force there, didnt think beans could cause such a big explosion!

[kryptikkk777]

lol it would have been funny if you were like ''omg im waiting for 6 minutes...Im gonna turn off my camera for a bit'' and just when you closed your camera,the can exploded :P

[taofledermaus]

@kryptikkk777 That's typical huh? lol

[mrbadx19]

woulda went well with my dollar store steak, yeah, don't try that in home, unless you love to clean up crap spewed all over LOL, i prefer my explosions where i don't have to clean them up, beans is biodegradeable... mother nature is a canable

[pock8size]

That was freakin sweet! :-D

[LocutusIsBorg]

Was that a pop-top? Seemed to pop off pretty cleanly.

[xam113w]

Bean cannon, scold your enemies from afar.

[CasioEXF1Freak]

Cool footage!

You should also be able to do this with most other canned goods as long as there is enough liquid inside.

[taofledermaus]

@CasioEXF1Freak Thanks! I think you need to prove that other canned goods will do it.... lol

[CasioEXF1Freak]

@taofledermaus I'm thinking it needs to be scaled up...maybe like a house water heater LOL

If I could find a farmer around here that wouldn't mind me using a spot in their field I'd do that myself just for fun

[rnickeymouse]

hahaha! ... that's frickin awesome!! thanks for giving me credit.

[taofledermaus]

@rnickeymouse I can't imagine that going off inside a toaster oven. I really didn't find too many bean bits afterwards, or the lid.

[rnickeymouse]

@taofledermaus It ripped my toaster oven apart, I was fortunate it didn't burn my place down.

[taofledermaus]

@rnickeymouse It could have been worse. Imagine if you can tried to open the can while it was under so much pressure. You probably wouldn't be with us today.

[EZKaiser]

when ever i watch your videos i think of that friend that everybody has, the one will do anything then videotape it, you know the one that's freakin awesome and that everybody loves!

[taofledermaus]

@EZKaiser Haha,  well, within reason!

[maynardr6]

the portable stove took that like a champ

[taofledermaus]

@maynardr6 It bent it up pretty good. I'm not sure if it works anymore.

[boomboom314159]

Now that's pretty cool, but of course, I would say that :) It's an explosion !

[taofledermaus]

@boomboom314159  It was more of an explosion than I expected!

[19Tranc3r92]

Now that's a fucking cannon!

[007tallguy]

i think those beans still had the "snappers" in them, HAHAHA!!!!

wicked video!!!!! **thumbs up***

[taofledermaus]

@007tallguy Thanks! One of the more wild things I have tried.  lol

[SnaffleJBean]

It's raining beans!

Hot, molten beans!

[thinkbeforespeaking]

Holy Frijole, pretty awesome looking.

[switchingtomac]

I did something similar when I was a kid camping, I threw a can of cream corn in the camp fire and a few minutes later we were all covered in boiling hot cream of corn! Needless to say I was not very popular for the duration of the camping trip...

[TheHiddenPart]

HOLY BEANS! I thought it would just crack to one side and hiss his way on the ground.

This was a real explosion instead.

What if it was mushrooms... ?

[taofledermaus]

@TheHiddenPart I figured it might spring a leak and do the same thing. I'm sure mushrooms would be about the same.

[TheHiddenPart]

@taofledermaus yes but that'd be A MUSHROOM cloud.. buhahahahah

[gigidy5]

Paniq - Lovers in Space

:)

[taofledermaus]

@gigidy5 You got it!

[weaponeer]

pretty cool idea, and it looked great..  but would this now qualify you as a beaner? ;)

[taofledermaus]

@weaponeer lol, I suppose so, but using corn probably would have been more suited for me.

[spenfisher2]

sir my beans are over cooked ant i think this is grass

[BarneySaysHi]

Imagine if you had put the can lid down... it would have shot up like a rocket!

[122ffsdd]

it a B bomb mushroom cloud!! :44

[SlaveZero1234]

Crazy!

This was super awesome!

[taofledermaus]

@SlaveZero1234  It was quite an experiment! I can say I won't try to repeat it anytime soon.

[MadR6]

nice!!!

[bisquik3006]

You come up with the best ideas. Very funny. Don't let leoffensive see this. Misuse of beans upsets him.

[MrSteve65]

Thanks alot, you sent me back to when I was 17. We were out camping and someone put beans in the fire, I knew they were there, I thought walking to the far side of the fire that all would be good, well my luck, the beans went off and sure as can be I was sprayed... Oh and our tent was shot to, lots of hot bean holes. Those were the days, I miss them.

[0adireita]

wow...i saw that on simpson...didn't think it could really happen...we don't have beans in can here where i live....

[jeffshootsstuff]

Note to anyone considering this, or tossing a can of beans in the campfire for a practical joke. Boiling hot beans are like napalm. They stick and burn. You will not be happy campers.

[taofledermaus]

@jeffshootsstuff Not to meantion the lid flying off at supersonic speed, and hot coals flying around. Much more than I expected.

[iPatrickF]

What? OMG sick beans xD

[ShizFacedJesus]

i think you should cool your beans

[MrCrime97]

man as always awsome!!!!!!!! thanx for the video

[taofledermaus]

@MrCrime97 Thanks for the nice words!

[BryceFritzel]

NICE!!!! I like the disclaimer: "Never attempt to duplicate any of our testing"

[taofledermaus]

@BryceFritzel I didn't know it would be so dang violent when it let loose. It bent up the stove pretty good. The can was completely empty. Pretty wild!

[BryceFritzel]

@taofledermaus Haha, wow. I can only imagine the anticipation building up to it!! Did you sit somewhere and watch the whole thing and wait for it? And also, how did you time the slow motion recording? Did you use the pre-recording feature where it continuously cuts off the last 5 seconds or so?

[taofledermaus]

@BryceFritzel I stood back quite a ways. The can kept popping and there was no warning when it went off. I just recorded the whole thing continuously with both cameras. The high speed clip was 2 ½ hours long.

[BryceFritzel]

@taofledermaus Oh wow, lol. What size SD Card did you use??

[taofledermaus]

@BryceFritzel It's 8 gb. The file was just over a gig.

[BryceFritzel]

@taofledermaus Man.... Does the EX-F1 not have the feature i was talking about a comment or 2 ago?

[taofledermaus]

@BryceFritzel The F1 only has pre-record for the burst mode- taking still photos. Remember this camera came out a couple years ago so it doesn't have too many of the cool new features.

[theKaarvaag1]

Really awesome,I can imagine it had to be very tense to watch it!

[taofledermaus]

@theKaarvaag1 The first attempt I waited over 20 minutes and my stove ran out of fuel. Tense is a good way of putting it. lol

[NickyDark17]

Nice idea!

I was going out to film some paintball clips and stuff, but it's waay to windy and too dark today..

[taofledermaus]

@NickyDark17 It was completely overcast so I am surprised I could film the HS stuff.

[the3VIL]

beans give you gas
