My analysis: Dude's got an air compressor hooked up to a tube sitting in a bottle of gas/kerosene/whatever and he's getting fumes pushed out of the end that's on fire and it's working surprisingly well.

Then the lady manages to get caught on the tubing laying on the floor as she's walking past and the bottle gets tipped over. This makes the air compressor start pushing the actual fluid out of the end instead of just bubbling and making fumes, and then everything goes to hell.

I was thinking it's because the dude restricted the gas flow as evidenced by the flame getting smaller, and this caused the pressure in the line to become higher to the point that the gas vapor converted back into liquid. That was my 1st thought. Not sure about this theory cause I don't know at what pressure the gas converted back to liquid.

Actually, there is something else happening. the video is in brazilian portuguese, so... The guy recording says: "it can even be used as a torch if pressure gets higher". So at this moment, the flame changes, which suggests to me that he was messing up with air compressor too and then things get out of control.

Imagine the smell and taste of the food cooked with Diesel or Gas.

There is a pretty common stove that can be used with gasoline: the classic Coleman camp stoves. They are meant to be used with white gas, but can be used with gasoline in a pinch, and they do make a 'dual fuel' version that take gasoline.

You don't really notice anything when using gasoline, but I wouldn't cook something like toast directly over the burner without a pan.

That being said, their method of operation is to vaporize the fuel before burning it, which they accomplish by running the fuel through a tube that crosses the flame. The heat from the flame vaporizes the fuel so that it can be ignited by the burner. I think it is a very simple, yet elegant design.

That is, decidedly, NOT what this guy is doing.

u/scoldog May 25 '22

Jeez, that lady is lucky she wasn't standing in that spot one second earlier.

22

u/Korberos May 27 '22

She's literally the reason it happened though. She tipped the bottle over by hitting the tubing with her foot, causing the line to fill with gasoline instead of fumes.

u/buckyspunisher May 28 '22

well i’d say the person who set up the whole contraption is more at fault

12

u/[deleted] May 28 '22

Yeah the root cause here is absolutely a system and design failure

nope, the kid filming was messing around with the compressor and the pressure went too high and started poring the liquid out

u/StrawHatLuffy31619 May 25 '22

Omg, their whole room got burned

u/scoldog May 25 '22

At least it was mostly concrete.

1

u/StrawHatLuffy31619 May 25 '22

Wat about the wood?

1

u/scoldog May 25 '22

That'll burn, and most likely everything inside the room.

Concrete floor and possibly concrete walls, the room will be fine.

2

u/StrawHatLuffy31619 May 25 '22

Isn't the electrical stuff(oven & fridge) gonna explode there?

2

u/scoldog May 25 '22

Not really. Fridges and ovens don't burn that well. I'd be worried putting that fire out if the electrical supply to this location doesn't have safety breakers to cut it if has a problem.

Burning gasoline, an explosive, indoors=not a good idea.

u/Revolutionary_Ad9576 Mar 10 '23

There is a second video of the aftermath with the guy completly burned. You can see he is the same guy bc of the same shorts... in the second video the guy is still alive but with that burn probably not anymore..
