Remind me not to dip my Marlboro in Liquid Oxygen

before I put it into my copper plated lips, light

it with a blowtorch and smoke it.

that blowtorch didn't have enough heat to melt copper - you could tell because it was burning so slowly. when the blue part comes to a fine point and the orange part shoots out a ways is when you could melt the metal, at the level that flame was at it'd take a while just to get it to a glow

Amazing! And that´s in Bonn - my city where I filmed another cool light effects show - in my videos..

die Frau ist abstossend hässlich und die Physik Vorführung ist stinklangweilig. nur der Terminator Musik in Hintergund ist lustig. Man kann diese Nerds nur bemitleiden.

Physikshow der Uni Bonn...ist super!! Würde aber gerne wissen warum der flüssige sauerstoff so dicht an der offen flamme steht? fast schon fahrlässig...

favorited for the terminator theme in background

A butane blow-torch cannot melt copper on it's own.

In my younger days I'd be the objecting yelling PROPAGANDA! Don't fight extremism with extremism you fuckin hypocrites! HA!

[bamwa]

hello, there is a blowtorch facing the copper. it could melt through on it's own. he moves it then moves it back. watch closely. the cig might be hot but the torch is what causes the melt-through.

[HastaFatum]

LMFAO.

you could take any pourous object, and do exactly the same thing with it, if it were dipped in LOX, you could use your own finger if you managed to get it wet enough with LOX mind you your finger would serve much purpose afterwards.
