- Join the science discord! / discord I read a myth (below) that said striking a drop of water with a hot iron and hammer will send the hammer flying. luckily I just met a local Blacksmith!
Trez is a great guy, he has a small channel, but mainly focuses on working as a blacksmith. He makes all his own hammers and tools, and could make you something too!

"When you spit on a piece of red hot iron, it dances around in a little ball. If you hit the ball with your hammer, the explosion will throw the hammer over the barn and blow a hole in the iron!"

Why do blacksmiths ring their anvils?
WELL THEN, Once upon a time long long ago and far far away; on an island where the grass is emerald green,
A VILLAGE SMITH was shoeing a horse at his open air shop. His large anvil rang with each blow to the shoes. Standing quietly in the shade of the spreading chestnut tree, the horse waited patiently.
THE DEVIL, passing by, heard the ringing of the anvil and decided to see what was going on. He stood watching as the blacksmith made a wonderful set of new shoes for the horse.
THE SMITH then proceeded to trim the horse's hooves and nail the shoes in place. The horse stood quietly as this was done, and when the smith finished, the owner of the horse mounted his steed and took him for a trot down the road.
THE HORSE was noticeably happy with his new shoes, for he danced and he pranced all the way to the corner and back.
SEEING THIS, the Devil being a hoofed creature himself, decided that he must have a set of these wonderful shoes. He approached the smith and told him to prepare a set of shoes for him.
THE SMITH (realizing that this was the Devil himself), made a set of shoes too small, trimmed the hooves too short and drove several close nails in each of the devils hooves. He also clinched them quite heavily so they would not come off easily. The Devil in terrible pain, lame and very sore footed went running away and suffered for many days.
SO to this very day when ever the Devil hears an anvil ringing he makes it a point to stay as far away as possible.
THIS is also why hanging a horseshoe over the door keeps the Devil away!

i need more of this guy. he seems so nice
IM_A_FISH he is!
I'm a chicken 🐔
Yeah hes great, were planning on doing some more videos in the future!
TheBackyardScientist we're*

That blacksmith was really cool.
On most videos where youtubers go to a person's place of business, those people aren't so friendly. But the blacksmith was really friendly and seemed genuinely interested .
98 percent of blacksmiths I've worked with have been very kind
Yeah blacksmiths and knife makers are generally nice helpful to people I have found.
No one cares.
And on this episode of Smythbusters...
Oh That's a good one
Why does the commenter have less likes than TheBackyardScientist?
It's the commenter that provided the fun content, not the responder.
Oh, right... CZcams logic and fangirls at it's finest.
Now he does yes. You know, time does advance in real life.
yep
Brock Gregersen LOL
Oobleck VS Powerhammer
I need this in my life.
That would be cool
did u know that oobleck is actually a non newtonian fluid that ....
How hard is a red-hot sword made of oobleck filled with salt run at 30m/s into a giant magnet inside a watermelon at the bottom of a fishtank that has 20,000 volts running through it.
+Skirmish LOL
I like how the clock in the background shows the true order of events and how it was edited.
For the next experiment, try spitting on a piece of red hot iron then hitting it with your hammer
burning spit smells bad
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" lol
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" I just finished watching Grant Thompson video!!!
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" i just wacht your new video
Touché, ya really didn't do the myth quite right by the letter. Hmmm...
There may still be nothing to it, but maybe try it out the 'right' way next time. For Science!!
"We had a blast"
That was a PUNishment.
You're not funny.
I'm not punny enough?
No.
you should start a business with that, become an entrePUNeur
Carl Mwaamba im PUNdering a response, but nothing is coming to mind
1:28 you have a title
Samuel C lol
Samuel C you know the song from the meme that starts with tin tin tinn tinn u😂
melvyn joseph what
Samuel C to fill the title, duh😂..if you watch or see lots of memes you would knew what I meant
melvyn joseph i got it 👌 XDD
Does anybody else binge the Backyard Scientist over quarantine?
Yeah
Me
1:27 when u have 2 mil subs but edit on imovie
Chand Whit *title*
This entire video is poorly edited
use Premiere Pro wich is a lot better than Imovie the other apple thing and vegas

Sooo... That Power Hammer is pretty sweet!
Im dreaming about smashing some things in it, got any ideas?!
Any Blacksmiths in the house??
TheBackyardScientist do something with blowing glass
try smashing a jawbreaker
Can you do something with a fidget spinner?
Like how fast can it spin
a solid ball of steel red hot vs the power hammer
TheBackyardScientist red hot nickel ball
that black smith has a great personality really liked the video.
"Hey guys, I'm a blacksmith."
I like Trent, he keeps things simple
Trez seems like a great guy. Very enthusiastic and up for some science! I will definitely give his channel a look.
"Are you ready"
"Yeah I'm Reddit.- err yeah I'm ready"
Power hammer oobleck would be interesting
At what point does the oobleck just give way and let the hammer through
This needs to happen. Would the oobleck just crumple into dust and reform into liquid?
ಠ_ಠ
It would give way pretty much immediately.
Oobleck in its solid phase still isn't that strong. THe hammer would simply smash through it.
Do this same experiment but with titanium or any of the alkali metals!
u mean potassium, titanium is a transition metal. GET UR CHEMISTRY RIGHT
No I mean titanium, because red hot titanium will break apart the hydrogen oxygen bond of water, absorb the oxygen and leave behind sweet explosive hydrogen. I added the alkali metals because all of them are simply reactive with water.
Appreciate the aggressive comment from a 10yr old tho, wont make much of an adult with pretentiousness and cynicism.
wait, WHAT? titanium is a inert-ish metal. It doesn't react THAT much.
liked for your chemical knowledge.
Yea, Ti is fairly inert until you heat it, not only will it produce an exothermic reaction with oxygen (like most metals) it will also react with the nitrogen in the air in the same way it does with oxygen. A few race engine mfg.'s had some catastrophic failures while testing some Ti components, the Ti got hot enough to combust and well turned into TiO2 and TiN2 (essentially a white-ish powder). Ti is really only useful as as non-friction structural components... unless its goes through extensive surface coating procedures.
machine from 1902 and still works, engineering at its finest during that time.
at 1.34 it says "Title" is that the first mistake he has made?
No there are audio issues in this video too
You dare call that a mistake
Happy little accidents! =))
The blacksmith is a cool guy. He knows what he is doing. Fun to watch. At threshing shows the blacksmith personalities vary quite a bit, but this man is a real gem.
this is a technique to blast the scale off the piece well forging
Popular japanese technique, Man at Arms has taught me well
Moheeheeko that's how I know it too
he said that in the video ;(
Huh. I've been a professional smith for 22 years and never heard this myth. In Japan, where I trained, its routine to splash water on the anvil to generate a steam explosion and tear the forging scale off the steel. Works well under the power hammer, too -- you use a straw brush to flick water both on top and bottom of your steel. Nice vid!
"Get it hot and hit it hard" - i am a blacksmith =P
TNT Dale Gribble for the win. Good choice.
Sh-Sha! *Pocket sand!*
thats what she said
no.
Dude. This guy here seemed not only happy to help, but seemed genuinely happy that people have taken an interest in him. Truly, the blacksmith are a dying breed, so I wonder if it sort of... reassured him, in a way. Loved seeing his happiness and the intrigue of BYS as I havr been spamming these videos since 10pm (it is now 3:51am)
This was awesome, you should try to see if the sparks from the explosion would set off a fuse! That would be cool
Power hammer vs. head
Good luck!
power hammer vs molten Gummi bears

Thomas Smith
auto correct, but either way grammer Nazzi go find a girlfriend
Carl Mwaamba
what if his new GF is a man who identifies as a woman?
hell anymore you can be whatever you want, so I'm Batman
Is it a man or a woman? You can't just mix people up like that! How discriminatoryyyyyy can one person be?
Carl Mwaamba
I'm not discriminatory in any way, I hate everyone equally.
don't lable me
that's wierd my anvil is outside and I've forged in the rain no problem
yellow swag muffin yeah suuure.
Silent Psykosis well if that makes you quench your squanch then you probably got a ploob
nice profile pic
Silent Psykosis no room for it anywhere else

"And a steam explosion blasts off all of the uh..."
*"S c a l e"* *pound*
Anyone else thinking this is him in the future!
I love this guys smile and laughter. He’s still a kid at heart and that is what will make him live for a lot longer than the people who are stuffy and “adult” about everything.
Blackmyth Smith - Will a drop of Anvil on the Water make it explode?
Jack spedicy 2 will hitting a drop of hammer with an anvil make it water
will hitting a drop of anvil with water and a hammer to make it change sound
Me to
LOL

Power Hammer vs. Deep Frozen Watermelon in slow motion, if you put Liquid Nitrogen and Watermelon in the title this will go viral 100%!
Power Hammer vs N2O or CO2 cartridges would be really cool.
lifeincolour09 except they shoot around like bullets 😂
That guy remembers me my grandfather, he was a Vietnam war vet, and he suffered some mental problem, but he always had a smile on his face.
Trez seems sooo nice and chill.
Prince Ruperts drop vs power hammer...
Mario Castillo facts
No. Just no.
"Smithing increased to 34"
This man is sweating more then a blind lesbian at a fish market.
Gabe Ross blacksmith shops get realy hot i can be in the one i visset in the summer for more than an hour.
Gabe Ross 😏
The Blacksmith needs to be in more of this videos. His voice just seems so epic
Now that's a man who loves his job, so good to see

“If it doesn’t work hit it with a bigger hammer”
Guys... help, my wife isn’t moving
Hopefully that CZcams survey will appear on the home page so I can say
"One of the best videos I watched this week"
That blacksmith shop is actually really neat and looks very relaxing
Hey Backyard scientist, I've got a new idea to make another explosion. This is called aluminum and iron oxide, with strict rules, this can be dangerous so wear heavy protection.
Step 1: Powdered iron oxide and aluminium are mixed in a glass breaker. To be safe place it in an a cast-iron vessel filled with sand to control the awesome reaction.
Step 2: A magnesium ribbon is lit to ignite the powdered metal mixture as the temperature rises to 4,530 degrees F, the aluminium tears the oxygen away from the iron oxide. The whole area is showered with red hot burning metal.
Step 3: Look in the pot and aw at the aftermath.

PLZ PLZ PLZ do this for your viewers, thanks
Literally everyone has heard of thermite.
Arnab Misra At least you tried bud
It's called thermite
He's done Thermite reactions before, and I agree that they are beautiful, and deadly.
uhhhhhhh ummmmn thermite
Honestly, I want to see someone's hand in that power hammer
-Great- Evil minds think alike?
Just ask brave wilderness
get hand sanitizer,light on fire , then throw it
Rafael Garcia , you can do that at home.
I love how he doesn’t edit most of the mistakes out of his videos. Every time I watch anything I’m always like “ I wonder how many takes this video took” lol
This channel has content that nobody wanted, but we all need.
Who else noticed Title? 1:22
It was supposed to say "see description for why blacksmiths tap the anvil"
TheBackyardScientist well it said Title
Well It was supposed to say "see description for why blacksmiths tap the anvil"
Hmm I almost didn't see it! Not at all bright white in the middle of a dark screen! Good eye!
he also said. "next step is to pour some water on the anvil" after that. dont think that was supposed to be there either. someone didnt watch their own video before uploading. ;)
I Love how it just says "Title" at the 01:20 mark. FCP Glitching on you?
It was supposed to say "see description for why blacksmiths tap their anvils". I forgot I put the title in, and skipped over that part on final review because I watched it 100 times already and "i knew it was already fine"
I Understand the feeling. Happens to the best of us. Keep up the good work. How are you liking the Chronos?
I just read the description and I feel bad for the Devil :(
But isn't that the point of a final review? :^)
OOOOOOOOHHH, Your Final Cut Skiiillllzzz just got ROASTED.

shottysteve what are you doing here
Capn Survivalist reply to reply
shottysteve you should upload
Russian steve!
hey your now officially the new mythbuster. no mythbusters get it because sadly they are gone but your the new one!
*More TreZ Please!* Much respect for that guy
Shoulda called the video Blacksmyth
Bet place, yes it will
I was wrong
Power hammer versus ballistic jelly
oh, what a nice old dude! pleasure to watch both of them
My theory on this is as follows:
Water, or steam, separates at a temperature of 1,700°C into hydrogen and oxygen.
This process is called "thermal dissociation".
When forging steel, the workpiece is heated to "only" 950-1,250°C.
Now when the hammer strikes the workpiece, a higher pressure is created underneath or in the water,
which temporarily leads to higher temperatures.
The temperatures thus generated could be sufficient to split the water directly into hydrogen and oxygen,
which would result in a small explosion of gas.
I don't know if this is right, but at least I can imagine it like this ^^
power hammer versus liquid nitrogen or oobleck like if agreed
you agree
Power hammer vs RED HOT 10000 Degree knife!
Please sir. A knife at 10000 degrees would just be a iron oxide gas. Steel melts at 2750 degrees.
power hamer vs electronics or vs ping pong ball or steak
JLB Minestine biggest steak tenderizer XD
Kenneth Pratoyo good one
What you just tried is called wet forging. It's actually an old Japanese blacksmithing technique that is used to blast the scale off your Steel leaving you with a much cleaner peace.
What caused the sparks is that he heated the steel up almost to the point of melting it, not actually the water. You can see it sparkling right as he takes it out of the forge.
try with gasoline.
2:08 when you're sick and you want attention.
Backyard Scientist! I want to see you dip hot metal into blood and show us the results. Better yet just forge a sword with blood :D.
Its so cool someone is still working by hand to make things
Pretty cool experience. Glad he explained the purpose behind wet forging.
Shame there hasn't been an upload to his youtube channel in 4 years.
Do a super hamer vs molnen elumenom
X najt play I don't think hamers and molnen elumenom don't exist here on earth
No
do a spelling class vs you
1:22 Title
Also, if you pour borax on the surface, and let it melt, then smack it, you get lots of sparks. Just be careful they do BURN. Also, hot metal is hot, even if it doesn't look like it. Burnt my hand a few times picking up black metal that was roughly 900 degrees
on forged in fire there was a guy that blow the slag off his stock with water on the anvil. he poured water on his though. he warned the camera crew to stand the hell back and the resulting pop shocked every other Smith in the shop.
What a wholesome guy that blacksmith, I hope he has a great life.
We need more videos with you and the blacksmith💥
That blacksmith is awesome. Would love to see more videos with him
Cool video, as usual. It would be great to include one blow with no water on the anvil so we can see the difference in sparks made by the water,.
Part of the reason it exploded so much is he had it suuuper hot. You can even see the metal burning when he pulls it out
what if you made a dent in the metal first. IDK but perhaps the water pooled up in the dent might make the steam have more trouble getting out of the way. just a thought
Seems like such a down to earth guy. Looked like y’all got a long well.
Wow! The slow motion is mesmerizing, and I don't say that often
We need more chill blacksmith man.
Beautiful cinematography!
Had a rough day, but you made me smile again, nice to see you both so enthousaistic :) (however you spell it)
This video was so EXPLOSIVE, i had a BLAST Watching it.
How about you try to do a Power Hammer™ versus Watermelon. Or you put Oobleck in a ballon and see if it will stay solid or slowly drip away
The new Myth buster!
Looks like an eagle globe and anchor on his arm so..... props to this marine and his awesome shop. Got my sub for sure
@backyardscientist you should put some oobleck under the automatic hammer and see what happens it would be awesome for a video
It's called wet forging or blast forging or scale blasting, depends on who you ask but it's definitely not a blacksmyth or a blacksmith myth, any blacksmith or bladesmith would tell you it won't cause and explosion or break an anvil. it just throws the forge scale off.
This blacksmith guy seemed very nice. :) And dang, that power hammer is intense!
I just had this happen to me for the first time yesterday. I hadn't heard of it before.
It blasts off the forge scale. The thin layer of oxidized metal that forms on the surface when exposed to high heat.
That guy is awesome! You should make more video's with him!
Oh man this guy is the definition of a wholesome American. I can imagine him narrating an old school Army instructional movie.
As a blacksmith, the water isn't doing much. The sparks shooting everywhere are the carbon from the over heated steel. When you see it sparkling as he pulls it out, that is the carbon burning out.
I love this dude! He's gotta be a on your channel more often!
Dude that power hammer was the coolest machine I've seen in a long time.
He is just so nice, the world needs more people like him
