Fire Breathing Guinness World Record

[teckyang97]

skip to 1:58 to not to waste your time of your life

[shan9usfc]

YOL.. TOL SHUR!

[Justncaseur]

Well if i never try anything at home how will i ever try it at all?!

[jamesduccan]

That is the best? tutorial Ive seen!

[JSLSampaio]

i can do a 10 meter tall flame, and i dont even need fuel or a burning torch. all is need is to perform the horse-dog-horse-ox-rabbit-shee­p-horse seals, and voila!

[EvanesceExotica]

I'm pretty sure they can calculate the length of the flame by subtracting the height of the person from how high the flame projected from his or her mouth. 4th grade math! Hooray!

[B1ackDr4g0n3901]

I love it when they say don't try this at home, he is a proffesional who has been doing it a long time. yeah but how did he start doing it? i bet it was at home

[Arabhacks]

I can do 1 meter ;)

Fire Breathing is hard work and comes with great risks.

I am not saying do not do this, I am saying be very careful.

[XxcrazmasterxX]

I wonder what fuel he uses, I use parrafin wax 100% pure, it is the least dangerous chemical for fire breathing, but its still dangerous if inhaled or swallowed. Kids don't try this unless you aren't afraid of dying, nuff said

[VBH8888]

I think military should use this. screw a flame thrower you shoot it and your the torch. rather a little bottle of this stuff and a small torch. Breaching hey he isnt coming out and hes bunkered down. drink turn on torch peek for a sec spit and blaze up the room. Clear!!!! lol

[Zhirooj]

Hey Tim, Grant and Bob, actually i currently have the record as i am a dragon and can blow fire up to 35 metres!! I am also only 10 inches tall - top that if you can!

[april76301]

i tried this outside for praticing and i did it on a dummy and the dummy caught on fire and burnt up.

[HippoSnatch]

Pretty impressive. I haven't tried fire breathing yet and I really want to, especially after seeing this.

[Gman7213]

you're lame!! my friend and i can each breathe fire at least seven meters. so stick that in your bong and smoke it!!!

[draevon1]

@Gman7213 Hey that's super ... the record is 7.2 now :)

[sgtmjames]

@Gman7213 i'd rather use a pipe!! lol

[seaphram]

@Gman7213

You are all lame. Sorry.

[skiningspliffs]

i think the liquid is parafin

[zizonesol]

he spit hot fire...

[anujgamer343]

You know what really bugs me? Everyone says to not try it at home only professional can do it. So at one point in time the professional were still kids and trying it at home. It says that he blows fire from his house.

It should be rewritten : Do not try this at home, unless you are planning to be a professional.

[ollietoom]

Kewl!

[gigglez3o0o]

thats hot!

I'm starting with tiki oil.

Works pretty well, nice clean flame.

[moon2425]

wow awsome!

[Firestaffjunkie]

DONT USE ANY KIND OF ALCOHOL

when you use it the fire can burn back into your mouth and your airway and you will die or handicaped your whole life...

when you have to do this you use a special cleared fluid, like petroleum but special cleared, and also by this you can die or get handicaped, so respect this.

[DDeafth]

respect the flame, and the flame will respect you

[sskkiittzzoo]

at 2:27 the guy mentions a cream tim wears on his face to protect him from the liquid what cream would that be

[Aljazhhh]

One thing to use can be Nivea or Solea (same thing :) ) hand cream ....it is great beacuse it creates something of a protective layer so your scin doesnt absorb toxic stuff ..... and you should also use it on your hands or torso if you are doing it without a shirt .... But it is possible that he uses something special that im not aware of ....

[tanabomb]

use vodka

and drunk

[TheAngryPatriot1776]

that doesn't even make sense. use vodka and drunk?

[10000dippy]

i use vodca or cornstarch

[richardhofer13]

i can beat him just stand on a 4 meter platform

[jordykid8]

use vodka

[superheroMIA]

lamp oil works great too thats what I use...the friend that taught me has used it for years and no one he has ever taught has gotten sick from it

[XRGomezX]

I work at a bar and throw baby dragon fireballs with 151 or everclear.

[kingtutsa]

doesn't it depend on how tall the person is??

[chelmaelovezmusic]

i do this and just use kerosene.

[fr0z3nic3]

Wow, you fail.. You're suppose to use Paraphin Wax..

[BowlingFreak218]

did you get sick or die yet?

[Astonlover69]

no not yet sorry to dissapoint but keros not that dangerous

[roymaloydotcom]

Hi Tim. Not sure if you answered this already, but are you using anything other than paraffin? Looking forward to your response.

[jamiesonthedrummer]

yeh your still makin flames tho dickhead lol

[ZSwordProductions]

Did they take his height into consideration, as well as the original record-breaker's height?

[digitaljimmy123]

depending on how tall the person is.. that where the ruler meter start.. right above your hiegh a b it..

[bevans620]

You can use CornFlower or CornStarch

[jamiesonthedrummer]

thats not as big a flame tho kerosene is better fore breathing and twirling and poi than most other liquids

[llantasss]

very good, but how much time can you do this?

[AlphaSquadMember]

Rubbing alcohol is extremely dangerous, paraffin is much safer, though nothing realy is with our chemicals.

Too bad they can't make yummy low fat drinks with high flameability. lol

[bobthefireeater]

Great, but your measurement was from the ground, not the MOUTH. If I measured my LIVE record from the ground, it would add 2m to the length, making it 6.1m. Also, we were hampered by the height of the studio, so I had to hold back from maximum!! You can check that with Guinness if you like. Keep up the good work, but you aint caught me yert !! All the best, Bob THE Fire Eater

[draevon1]

Hey Bob ... my current record is 7.2 metres set in Beijing in August 2007 ... so I suppose I have caught you =)

I'll have the clip up as soon as the series goes to air over there ... and keep an eye out for it in the 2009 Book.

I suppose we should probably attempt this side by side one day so we can put the excuses aside and settle it yes?

(as a side note, are you saying you're more than 2 metres tall?)

See you soon hopefully - draevon

[bobthefireeater]

Good to hear from you! It would be great to have an England v. Australia "Alternative Ashes" match, since we don't seem to have much luck with the cricket!! ps I'm not suggesting that we cremate the loser, all the best, Bob the Fire Eater

[wanngie1]

powned!!!!!

[sweetredredwine]

@draevon1 Calm down you all: it's TOO HOT already, and by competing side by side you're gonna warm the globe even further!

[TwistedMayhem]

dude avoid all types of alcohol it's bad for you it could burn you badly. it's usually done with gas fuel( not gasoline)

[godzforsaken1]

bad ass man. what exact fuel do ya use? i've been using rubbing alcohol for about 3 years. but only gets a medium flame. also the guy in the vid said you wear some sort of cream on your face for protection, what would that be?

[LarsLarsen]

He's just using something to keep the fuel from drying and cracking his skin.

[OMFGSTFU101]

actually it's more like the cream absorbs and and prevents fuel that was spilled on his face from reigniting if you were not using cream if ne fluid spilled on you face and you goofed your face would be a fiery inferno

[TawnyCrow]

Man, that is kick ass.  ..Who else thinks Tim is hott? XD

[twirlyroos]

Cool, I'll have to set one of those up to measure my own!! :-)

[agos007]

wow nice

[coolmanplayeswow]

man i wish i could do that you have your own portibal flamethrower lol

[lastsaneman19]

the stuff hes using is engine degreaser not 100% on the type tho

[rebearth]

congratulations u re amazing..well done..

ps..u only know ig this is fake or true..just dont listen to them..:)take care:)

[djcunno]

Does anybody know what fuel he uses, i use parrafin but get a totaly different type of flame, if you know what he uses can you pm me please

[Leionine23]

You're Great

[FlippieX]

that number below is a 2, not a 3. This is great!

[nuttyhead]

fake

[draevon1]

fake what?

[nuttyhead]

This is fake cause a man is not 3 meters!!! look to the man and the meter!!

[draevon1]

Have a closer look.

[mikefrid]

@nuttyhead he is standing under the 2m mark at least, its not fake at all

[gexkhr]

@nuttyhead yesss ! its not 3 meter , open your eyeball ! haha

[MegaJacob3]

@nuttyhead your cravy i watched the guy live

[mylomaster]

WHY IS EVERONE having a thumb down here who the fuck does it?

[draevon1]

I'm not sure who's doing that. I plussed a bunch of those people to try bring it back to neutral.

Whoever is minusing everyone, just leave it please.

[pl0xman123]

Why does almost EVERYONE here got minus rated on their ccomments here?

[draevon1]

I'm not sure who's doing that. I plussed a bunch of those people to try bring it back to neutral.

[tamem75]

oh! ya oh ya oh ya

[tinajohn92]

dont keep giving a thumbs down for everyones comment the guy who said he probably dident feel goodf after was right

[trubosnian99]

cool

[draevon1]

Thanks

[killsrbills]

i think after doing that hedidnt feel to good

[draevon1]

Yeah it's not the nicest feeling in the world ... pretty messy stuff.

[JoeMcVideo]

fire woo!

[quadraxis45]

the

[cadotmolin]

Im gonna watch chris angel mind freak and you know why

[xdopemanx]

"Please welcome, Tim Black!!!" when they showed him i yelled " EMO EMO GOTH GOTH DEVIL WORSHIPER EMO GOTH GOMO (gomo = goth emo) OMG OMG GOTH EMO BLACK CLOTHS OMG OMG" then just kept watching the vid

[GothicKing1000]

wtf

[draevon1]

I'm wearing raver pants and have braided hair ... can't get much further from an emo champ.

[RedEHaze]

i dont see the difference of emos, goths and people. they're all the same.

[yayphilippines]

emos hate them selfs, goths hate everyone lol

[bzup9mm]

hmm yet they don't do anything to neone, so what's your probleme?and no im not emo or goth.. im black=phsycally impossible for me.

[yayphilippines]

lol i can tell your not emo or what not. i see your name =P

[bzup9mm]

haha good point :) dido for u, happy new year's bro!

[yayphilippines]

Happy new years to you too

[sonictif2]

It's not a fair test, because they count his height as well as the flame, versus the actual flame itself, so you could just get a taller person who breathes a smaller flame and achieve the same height.

[RedEHaze]

now that i think about it...u're right...

they should do it like

height the flame went, minus his own height

it'd be really going around 12 feet.

[draevon1]

Yeah I agree. I'd probably measure it the same way, total height minus the height of the performer (to take out any advantage for tall people), but the conditions for the record were set up before I ever attempted it, and they can't be changed from how the forst record is set.

That said, I'm only 5'9, so I guess it's an advantage to anyone over average height.

[RedEHaze]

holdon, i think i saw somethin.

At 2:01 when he makes the flame, there's a large black block under the giant meter measurer.

it's about the same height of his when he bends down while he's still blowing the flame.

they probably did get his height off but above the black block thing. there's a line, and that's an AWFULLY short meter compared to the rest.

[mrzizu10]

omfg, i hope he dosnt get mistaken for a dragon at the hospital lolz

[PsychoghostB]

dragon ppl

[theRealKG]

he looks ugly!

[weezing22arbok]

no he doesnt

[draevon1]

heh ... thanks

[animalover4life191]

he probably got sick after that.. lol.

[omgilikefish]

pfff "dont try this at home"

how do you think he got that far stupid

[cam714141]

the best thing 4 that is lighter fluid

[Aaron518]

I would never use lighter fluid. I use Kerosene.

[draevon1]

Aaron is right. Lighter fluid has far too low a flash point. Kerosene (or similar) is a much safer fuel.

[Pojmaster]

wtf he sucks. anyways, you can do that with alcohol ^^

[juseliaaa]

if you spittt out the alcohol it doesn't burn well

[draevon1]

Go for the record man ... it's up there for anyone to grab.

[mekewl2]

tripp pants...aahh

[draevon1]

Come on ... I used to love those pants.

[angelprincess12345]

oooh, hmmm i hope he quits after that

[itsacakewalk]

I wonder if they have that same sort of record for farting in front of a lighter.

[tudgepoo]

nice!

[shinramaster]

lol cool altar cup

[draevon1]

All thanks to the props department at Channel 7 for that =)

[hollandkaas]

well if you kut your mouth full of gasoline and you spit your lighter then you burn your face at least and you get quite a nice flame

[draevon1]

Please don't use gasoline. You'll die for sure.

[loigenil]

wow

[draevon1]

Thanks =)

[jego38]

mm that drink looks yummy...

[draevon1]

heh ... yeah it's messy horrible stuff. Not much fun.

[NunchakuFreak]

Nice one, my respect

[draevon1]

Thanks man.

[ricovermeulen11]

u stupid nothing gonna happen

[newy0rkfries]

What if you put beer in your mouth and blow against a lighter?

[draevon1]

I don't know if beer's going to go so well ...

[pwned6996]

ive beaten that ill call them over

[draevon1]

Go for it man ... always keen for a challenger.

[MitchellT207]
