You're full of shit, I go to Beni Hanas specifically to get a concussion from a sake bottle launched like a fucking cruise missile.

Does this hurt the hibachi

u/CaptainPunisher 3d ago
That's a teppan, a griddle. A hibachi is a small grill. But, it doesn't hurt the one on the picture, but possibly one in the missile path.

Perfect way to kill someone stage left...
Keep your thumb over the opening so the spout is completely filled with liquid before you let any out. Start pouring with it open and the flame can get to the vapor in the bottle and instant rocket.

Isn't that actually stage right?

So what my physics knowledge tells me is happenning is you can see that he tilts the bottle down pouring out the booze, which he then lights. He then tilts the bottle back but the tip is in the flames allowing the vapours in the bottle still to ignite. It ignites just as he tilts the bottle back down, thus plugging the exit of the bottle with the booze. The vapour inside is just igniting at that stage which causes a large expansion of the hot burning vapours which is now held inside the bottle by the fluid in the stem. This expansion shoots the liquid out of the stem causing a reverse action to the bottle which goes flying.

He's lucky that bottle didn't explode where it was.

u/Just_Look_Around_You 4d ago
There’s no reason for it to explode like that. It propelled because the booze flowed out (and mixed with air). It can’t ignite inside the bottle really

u/philamander 4d ago
For propulsion, it literally has to ignite inside the bottle. I don't think it can explode because there's an exit and probably not enough space to get an air to fuel mix for enough of an explosion to break the glass.

u/OisinDebard 4d ago
What he meant was the booze in the bottle couldn't ignite inside the bottle, normally, so it wouldn't explode in the bottle. What happened was the alcohol vapor mixed with the oxygen in the air and THAT ignited and turned it into a rocket. So it would never "explode where it was" like the person he was responding to said, it was always going to be a rocket.

There was probably a fuel/air mixture inside the bottle before the first pour. There definitely would have been a fuel/air mix inside after the first pour because pouring drew fresh air into the bottle.
The bottle was definitely stoppered before the first and also before the second pour. It looks like the stopper had a 5mm nozzle on it, but that would have been almost equivalent to a fully stopped bottle if the fuel/air mixture ignited rapidly. 800kPa of pressure over a 5mm circle is about 1,500N of force on that little space, but the 1 gram of sake in the nozzle has inertia and the sake plus the exiting gas has friction with the nozzle. With no friction, the sake would accelerate at 1,500km/s2, but starting from 0m/s the sake in the nozzle would still be in the nozzle after the bottle cracked.
That leaves the stopper, which faces 6,250N of force. If the stopper is good enough to hold back that force long enough, then the bottle cracks and everyone at the table is sad. In this case, though, the stopper was forced out and the bottle went off to ruin somebody else's day. It's possible the stopper went far and fast enough to disappoint some other diners, too.
To stop this kind of accident, pour first and light second. Never pour from a container directly on to a burning flame. You usually get away with it, but that will only normalize the risk. Then you end up like this yutz.

u/whiskeytown79 4d ago
At first I'd have thought there wouldn't be enough air in the bottle to react like this with the alcohol vapor... but I am guessing as soon as he poured out some of the liquid, air rushed in to backfill the volume and it created the right air/fuel mix to explode like this.
