Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve

0:02

camera. It's ready. Are you welcome

0:06

to Stuff You Should Know from

0:08

House Stuff Works dot Com?

0:15

Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm

0:18

Josh Clark. There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant

0:20

that makes this Stuff you Should Know, right, Chuck,

0:23

Yeah, yeah, Jerry just I love

0:25

it when like we get last second instructions. Yeah,

0:27

and they don't make any sense. Just save it for the

0:29

show, guys, right, or show that picture

0:32

on the podcast the audio podcast.

0:35

Oh goodness, how are you sir? I'm fine

0:38

by all rights Friday,

0:40

but it's actually Thursday, but it's

0:42

almost Memorial Day. Yeah, and

0:45

we're not Are you coming in tomorrow at all? No, I'm

0:49

not comfortable saying either way. Well,

0:52

it's all to be surprised. I don't want to get in trouble.

0:55

Well I'm not. I'm still scared of the man. I

0:57

know you're not. But you're all like, hey, look at me. I'm

1:00

forty. I make my own decisions, not forty,

1:03

So Chuck. You're George Carlin

1:05

fan right, Yeah, the late George

1:07

Carlin. Just the late alright. We always

1:10

had the bummer, don't you. The late George Carlin

1:12

could be like George Carlin. He's the greatest

1:14

stand up comedian ever, the

1:17

very the worm food

1:20

George Carlin, Yeah,

1:23

the dearly departed. Yes, I like him.

1:26

I have an obscure stand up bit that I'll

1:28

bet you haven't heard of that is the appropub

1:31

of our topic today. So George

1:33

Carlin um had a bit about

1:35

flamethrowers. I never heard that one.

1:38

He said that the very presence of flamethrowers,

1:40

and I'm paraphrasing, the very

1:42

presence of flamethrowers means

1:44

that at some point sometime

1:47

someone said to himself, you know,

1:49

there's a bunch of people over there that I'd like to

1:51

set on fire, but they're

1:53

too far away from me to get the job done. I

1:56

wish there was something that I could use to

1:58

throw flames on them,

2:01

And as a result, we now have

2:03

the flamethrower, which is kind

2:05

of crazy when you think about it that way. It is pretty interesting,

2:08

it is, And when you start to really look

2:10

into flamethrowers, you realize

2:13

just how horrific the acts

2:15

that humans inflict on other humans can

2:17

be. Yeah, it's pretty it's

2:19

pretty awful stuff. Actually, Yeah, when

2:21

you, I mean, actually all kinds of modern weapon.

2:23

Rhenno. My brother in lawson the Marines, he told

2:26

me about this. I think it's called a

2:28

flachette, some sort of bomb

2:30

that like explodes above people

2:33

and sends thousands of

2:35

like razor blades shooting out what. I

2:38

think it's mainly used for clearing like jungle,

2:41

but ya, jungle

2:43

of enemy combatant exactly. To

2:45

some sick I thought that up, we're

2:48

like, what one step away from the alien weapons

2:50

in District nine where people just

2:52

blow up in an almost cartoonish fashion.

2:55

Yeah, it's coming the

2:58

atomizer or something they'll call it. Um.

3:01

What's what's odd is that that person,

3:03

that first person that George carlin Um

3:07

envisions, actually lived a lot

3:09

longer ago than you would think. I was shocked.

3:11

I was well century

3:14

BC, fifth century b C. Man

3:17

right, it wasn't well, it was a flamethrower. It

3:19

was very crude, vulgar, if

3:21

you will, flamethrower. It

3:24

was a long tube sort of like a blowgun, and

3:26

they filled it with solid stuff like hot

3:29

coal and sulfur and

3:31

went, yeah, ideally

3:33

you don't suck in. That would be bad. No. I was thinking

3:35

that too, like you have to suck in the breath before

3:38

you put the tube. Deer mouth or us, you're in big trouble.

3:40

Oh that's the case with any blow blowgun,

3:42

right, Sure, did you ever make those in your

3:44

kid? No? I never did. That was too

3:46

busy burning stuff. You could

3:49

have done both apparently. So

3:51

Yeah, they would shoot I guess um

3:53

hot coal or sulfur out

3:56

at their enemy combatant instead

3:58

of a flame per se, which

4:00

I guess ultimately it would

4:03

bounce off of their arm and they'd be like, ah,

4:05

that burns, and then they

4:07

just tussle and leg wrestling, right,

4:09

and shake hands afterwards and go eat a

4:11

bore. That's that's how that

4:13

went to Life CENTRYBC with Josh.

4:16

But leave it to the Greeks, who

4:18

were one of the brainiest, most

4:21

um thieving cultures of all time.

4:24

They probably got this idea from the Chemites.

4:26

Frankly, but there's this stuff

4:28

called um Greek fire, right,

4:30

And actually I can't

4:32

say that the Greeks came up with it. It's called Greek fire,

4:35

but the Byzantines that what we know is

4:37

turks um. We're uh,

4:40

we're most notorious

4:42

for using this stuff. Yeah, and that they

4:45

think they're not sure because it was a long time ago. It

4:47

was a mixture of liquid petrol

4:50

and sulfur and like stuff like quicklime

4:52

petrol British

4:54

for gas. Yeah,

4:57

and UM. They would pump it out actually

4:59

from a reservoir through little

5:01

narrow tubes and like anything that goes

5:04

from a big reservoir type

5:06

system to a small, thin one, it would create pressure

5:08

to shoot it out and then some unlucky

5:11

guy would be the lighter at

5:13

the end of it, and that would be like a real flamethrower,

5:16

like dozens of feet. Yeah, as we're gonna learn,

5:18

anybody whose job it was to deal with

5:20

any aspect of flame throwing UM

5:22

was the unlucky guy. It's

5:24

one of the more dangerous weapons you

5:26

can use, UM, but it

5:28

was very effective. Number one, since it's oil

5:31

based, Uh, it could this

5:33

this Greek fire could be used in naval

5:35

battles because it would still burn even

5:37

when it contacted the water. UM.

5:40

And so the Byzantines mounted it on their

5:42

ships. These flamethrowers UM

5:44

on their ships and on the city walls

5:46

around Constantinople and basically

5:49

just repelled people out of fear

5:51

as much as you know, burning them alive. Yeah,

5:53

they were. Their enemies were really freaked

5:55

out. I imagine when they first saw like fire shooting

5:58

at them. Yes, freaked out and intrigue, especially

6:01

in the case of the Chinese. See

6:03

what the Byzantines had was a single

6:05

action pump. You just did

6:07

the foot pump with literally do

6:11

you see that? Jerry them following

6:13

your command, um. The

6:15

the Byzantines had a single

6:17

action bellows pump to where

6:19

when you press down on the

6:21

down stroke, it would push

6:24

the liquid out. Right. Yes, you get like a burst

6:26

of fire. And that's it right because on

6:29

the upstroke nothing was happening except

6:31

with the bellows were filling back up with air to press

6:33

down compressed right. Um.

6:35

The Chinese said, hey, that's that's really

6:37

funny because we have a double action bellows

6:40

to where you are compressing air

6:42

um on the up stroke and the downstroke.

6:44

So instead of your stupid little

6:47

short bursts of Greek fire, we have one

6:49

long burst that just cuts you

6:51

in half. Lead to the Chinese

6:54

get better the wheelbarrow,

6:56

the kite, the hang glider, the flamethrower,

6:59

gun pouter, and actually gunpowder

7:02

um equaled the demise of

7:04

flamethrowers for about a thousand

7:07

years, right, Yeah, as soon as gunpowder came along,

7:09

they were like, yeah, we're just chumps with fire. When

7:12

we can actually shoot a gun, that's that's

7:14

the way of the future. And it was.

7:17

But so is the flamethrower as it turns

7:19

out. Yeah, because it lay dormant for

7:21

about a thousand years. And then in World

7:24

War One, actually right before World

7:26

War One, the Germans, a

7:28

very warlike state at the time, were,

7:31

um, they said, you know what,

7:33

exactly can we and our arsenal that is

7:36

just totally scary and wildly

7:38

destructive. Yes, let's look back

7:41

through the annals of of you know, historic

7:43

weaponry and find something. And they look

7:45

through and they said the flamethrower. Yeah.

7:48

Richard Fielder is an engineer

7:50

in nineteen o one. They credit him with inventing

7:53

it, but he clearly was using old

7:55

technology as the initial idea. At least.

7:58

It's a clever design, though, isn't it. Yeah,

8:00

because this from this original design. Um,

8:04

there have been you know, some polishing

8:06

moments for the flamethrower over

8:09

the years, but from that, from that

8:11

modern era that the design has

8:13

remained relatively the same. Right, It's like a three

8:15

tank design. Yeah, the flamin furfur because

8:18

what it's called nice the Germans. That's

8:20

what the German uh,

8:25

and it was, um, well let's yeah, let's

8:27

go ahead and explain how it works with thanks, all right. And this

8:29

is the handheld flamethrower,

8:31

which is the one that's I guess was most

8:34

readily used in combat. Yeah, and it's the one

8:36

you see like a guy's wearing these tanks on his

8:38

back and he's got the rifle. It's just right.

8:41

So you got two outer tanks and those

8:44

are filled with the flammable

8:46

fuel oil based petrol if you will,

8:49

like Greek fire and

8:51

um. Then there's a center, smaller tank

8:53

which holds a compressed gas

8:55

like butane and uh

8:57

it was. It would feed the gas through a pressure right

9:00

you later connected to the tubes and

9:02

you can take it from here. Well, the this

9:04

is why I think it's very clever. The bututane

9:07

served a dual purpose. One that was compressed,

9:09

so when you open the valve, it would

9:11

push the liquid fuel

9:14

out of the tanks into the tube and

9:16

ultimately in the reservoir and the gun.

9:18

The pressure regulator, right, that's what

9:20

they would but switch on. There is

9:23

another tube that came directly out

9:25

of the third tank that held

9:27

the compressed the gas like butuane,

9:30

and this tube went directly to

9:33

the ignition valve right right,

9:35

so it served as the igniter later on. Right

9:37

that it was because it was the bututane that was actually

9:39

burning when you um.

9:42

When you open the ignition valve, the bu tane

9:44

flows to the end. This is with air the end

9:46

of the rifle. UM and then

9:48

there's like there's two triggers. There's the

9:50

fuel released trigger, right, and

9:53

then there's the ignition trigger. And the ignition trigger

9:56

is basically you're operating a battery that operates

9:58

a spark plug, sends a current, generates

10:00

heat right nights the tane. Now you have

10:03

that little blue flame on the end. Yeah, that's

10:05

what you've seen in movies, like if you see them around.

10:07

Yeah, exactly, you see the little like three inch

10:10

flame coming out in the end, right, that's actually beautane

10:12

burning. The fuel hasn't been released,

10:14

the hell fire has not been

10:16

opened yet or released yet. That's

10:18

when you squeeze what's the fuel released

10:21

trigger and then well,

10:23

yeah, then that pulls back a little valve plug

10:26

because you obviously want it plugged or else you're

10:28

gonna have a big mess on your hands. You'll

10:30

be on fire very quickly. So when you pull

10:33

the fuel release trigger, it pulls the little

10:35

valve plug back and then all

10:37

the fuel supply suddenly

10:39

rushes through to the tip of the gun where

10:42

the flame is and boom, there

10:44

you go. Yeah and um. In

10:46

nineteen forty two,

10:49

the Army

10:51

Chemical Warfare Service, I think

10:53

is what it was called. Um, they came up

10:55

with a little something called napalm, which

10:58

is ultimately a g asoline or

11:00

petrol in the case of Chuck and our British

11:02

friends, UM, a gasoline

11:05

thickening agent. So

11:07

with a slightly thickened gas

11:10

you have a longer range, It carries

11:13

further because it has more mass or

11:15

girth or whatever. There's less there's

11:18

less friction from the ground coming up right.

11:20

Um and uh. It also can

11:23

be concentrated more easily. Right

11:26

right. So basically that

11:28

was one of those real big polishing moments. It

11:30

went from just gas which sprays, to thick

11:33

gas which sticks and

11:35

burns. It evaporates much less quickly,

11:38

so it will burn forever and it's really difficult

11:40

to put out, and if you get covered in it, you're entirely

11:44

in trouble. Yes, you're out of luck. And they

11:46

would mount these on well

11:48

p t boats. For one, have you ever seen

11:51

the videos of those things, like cruising

11:53

down the river, shooting in napalm

11:55

into the forest. Well, I see there's

11:57

a picture of it in the article. I've never seen

11:59

video of It's pretty wicked. Yeah,

12:01

And they called them, they called them zippo

12:05

flamethrowers, right, because the ignition

12:08

um system failed so frequently.

12:10

It's just like on a gas grill, they

12:12

have to with a zippo d

12:14

And that's the other unlucky dude. I guess he'd

12:17

be like, don't get too close to it in his hand,

12:20

right, And so flamethrowers, it wasn't just some

12:22

guy you know where. It would

12:24

be like a bunch of infantry guys and then some

12:26

guy on the end happened to grab

12:29

the flamethrower that morning when they went out, and

12:31

it's just you know, they were part of a

12:33

tactical strategy. Yeah. What would happened

12:35

was rifleman would lay down

12:37

cover fire. Let's say you come to

12:39

the mouth of a cave and there's a bunch of enemy

12:42

combatants in there, and they're shooting you and

12:44

they have snipers and you're in big trouble. All

12:47

your your rifleman lay down fire

12:49

on this case, so those guys can't move. Cover fire

12:51

right to allow your flamethrower man to

12:53

get close. He was highly

12:56

susceptible at this point because of

12:58

what he's wearing on his back. Yes, all it takes

13:00

is one good shot to one of those tanks and

13:02

that guy's gone, or a bad shot, just

13:04

a shot, yeah, if you come in contact

13:07

with it with the bullet. Yes, um. But so

13:09

the flamethrower guy gets close basically

13:12

cooks everybody, burns everyone

13:14

to death in that cave, right,

13:17

that's his job. And then after

13:19

that the munitions guys come in and

13:22

explode the cave

13:24

so it can never be used again. And

13:26

that's sinora for cave

13:28

dwellers. Yes. Uh, you

13:30

know, speaking of a quick death,

13:32

I've always heard when I was a kid, you know

13:34

that. You know, if you were a flamethrower in war,

13:37

your average lifespan is like thirty

13:39

seconds in combat. Well, I

13:41

always heard that, and I'd scoured the internets

13:44

and I could not find anything to verify

13:46

that, but um, that's what I always heard.

13:48

I thought that was an interesting tidbit. I

13:50

did read that most people who were flamethrower

13:53

operators didn't survive. I would imagine

13:56

it's pretty dangerous thing to be toting around.

13:58

Yeah, and they also had assistant because

14:00

the assistance would open and close the valves on the

14:02

pack form. That was the whole job. It was always

14:04

a two man team, so both of them would

14:06

usually not make it. I would if

14:09

I was the assistant, I would turn

14:11

on his little valve and then run for cover and then run

14:13

up and turn it off again. Right, And I'd probably

14:15

pretty unpopular with the flamethrower guy probably,

14:18

And then the flamethrower guy was well liked because

14:20

if you can take out an entire gun nest

14:22

of people, then you

14:24

know everybody's going to applaud you and clap,

14:27

and you know, probably not get

14:29

too close though, because you're going to die eventually.

14:31

Yeah, I'd rather be a sniper. I think that'd be like

14:33

I played Call of Duty. I got a p S three

14:36

now that I tell you that. No, it

14:38

was given to me by my step step

14:40

step dad, now father in law. You did tell

14:42

me my stepfather in law, And

14:45

so I got just a couple of games.

14:47

I'm not like a huge gamer at all, Like

14:49

I think a nintendol, like the

14:51

first Nintendo was the last thing I actually owned. But

14:54

um, I play Call of Duty now. I

14:56

like a shooter games too. It's pretty fun.

14:58

But you choose to be a sniper on that. Well,

15:01

now there are just certain levels where you can be a sniper.

15:03

Like you'll pick up a sniper gun if you want. And

15:05

I always usually kind of just hang back and pick guys off,

15:08

especially guys with flamethrowers. So here

15:10

we go again to liberal peace

15:12

nicks like us when it comes to like this

15:15

war stuff, we just get all giddy. Well it is

15:17

this one. For some reason, I was reading

15:19

a passage about a flamethrower operator

15:22

in World War Two who you know, um

15:24

received the Medal of Honor for um

15:27

invading a Japanese they think they're called pillbox.

15:29

It was a little gun nest and burning them all and

15:31

burning them all alive, and like the the guy

15:34

wrote um that there were some muffled screams

15:36

and then silence. It's like, you

15:38

know, being burned alive. It's pretty much everybody's

15:40

worst death, I would think. So it's

15:43

up there. Well, we had worst way to die. That's right

15:45

up there, and I think if I remember correctly,

15:47

burning to death is consistently

15:50

the number one, unlike informal

15:52

polls. Right, imagine is pretty painful and it

15:54

happened a lot in World War

15:57

One to vietn M. Yeah,

15:59

I imagined area. This is a

16:01

horrible weapon. But

16:04

you can find uh,

16:06

civilian applications for can't you. Yeah.

16:09

Well, before we move on to that, we also need to say that they

16:11

were on tanks as well, so it wasn't just

16:13

boats. They used them on tanks, and uh,

16:15

the design was basically the same. You just had a lot

16:17

more fuel and you had like piston rotary

16:20

pumps to get a lot more length

16:22

on your shot girth. And yeah,

16:25

the backpack

16:27

mounted ones had a range

16:29

of about fifty yards, right, That's

16:33

that's a long way though. Yeah, let's have a football

16:35

field. You don't have to get that close. Sure. Yeah, I

16:38

wonder if the first enemy that was like, he's

16:40

got a flamethrower, but we're way too far

16:43

away. They were

16:45

within exactly. Uh

16:48

yeah, civilian applications um,

16:51

forced forced

16:53

fire fighters forest

16:56

firefighters? Is that how you say it? I

16:58

don't know they actually use

17:00

these when they do like the prescribed

17:02

burning, like sometimes they'll burn

17:05

well not just the firefighters, they do prescribe burns

17:07

anyway. And then sometimes the firefighters

17:09

do that, they'll like burn a section to cut it off right

17:11

there. And that's what they do it with flamethrowers,

17:15

which actually kind of made me want to go get a job

17:17

with the forestry Service. She could

17:19

burn things on purpose. Well, yeah,

17:23

did you hear about this car thing in South

17:25

Africa? Theft deterrent system

17:27

that burned you know? Yeah, I don't think

17:29

it's still around. This is like twelve years ago,

17:31

and um, a South

17:33

African man invented it was called the blaster

17:36

and basically it would shoot a man

17:39

high fireball that's what they called

17:41

it. What at you if

17:43

you tried to break into the car for

17:45

a mere ran which

17:47

is uh and

17:49

this that

17:52

was like six or fifty bucks, and

17:54

um, it would squirt liquefied

17:56

gas from a bottle in the trunk through

17:59

two nozzles located on the

18:01

front door. And the rub

18:03

is you couldn't turn one on and turn one

18:05

off, so if a guy was breaking

18:07

into like the driver's side door, it would

18:09

still shoot fire out as a passenger side

18:12

to whomever might be walking by

18:14

unluckily on that. So let's say, yeah, that's

18:16

that's an invention that wasn't fully

18:19

thought through. I would think so. But apparently

18:21

he sold a bunch of him at the time and he

18:24

said it's non lethal, but it would definitely

18:26

blind a person, is what he said, and

18:29

keep them from stealing your car. Yeah, because

18:31

they can't see cars any longer. That's

18:34

terrible. Yeah, way to go South Africa.

18:37

18:39

21:08

21:10

But it's more fun to read loan it totally. It

21:44

really is, all right, So there you have it. Alright,

21:47

So listener, mail my friend I'm

21:51

gonna call this I love this

21:53

dude. And his name is Guy

21:56

and not as in hey guy, his real

21:59

name is Guy. I got Guy from

22:01

San Francisco, says, guys, just listen

22:03

to the Art Theft podcast. And by

22:05

the way, we do know about the Paris heist

22:07

that just went down. Pretty

22:10

cool, uh, very

22:12

intriguing for future monetarians. And of neither

22:15

here nor there. However, I have a little bit a

22:17

little habit that I thought I might like to share that

22:19

loosely pertains I have never

22:21

stolen art knowingly. However,

22:23

I do frequently and I'm subjected

22:26

to I travel frequently, and I'm

22:28

subjected to much distasteful

22:30

art guilty of being a

22:32

budget traveler. So there's the rub. But

22:35

to amuse myself, I like to take the horrible art

22:37

off the wall, take it out of the glass and

22:39

frame, and add the ever so

22:41

slightest detail. This guy

22:43

is wonderful. He does this in Adele's

22:46

a chicken in the corner by the barn, a seagull

22:48

flying over the crest of a wave, a beer

22:50

bottle and fishing pole by the babbling brook.

22:53

I do it in every hotel, motel, hotel,

22:55

hostel, bungalow,

22:58

you name it. I will stay there and I will change into the art.

23:00

They have art and hostels now, yeah, probably

23:03

not. It makes me chuckle to think that maybe

23:05

one day someone will be staring at an awful hotel painting

23:07

and look closely and notice one of the

23:09

gallant cowboys has a tin of skull

23:12

by his left boot heel. So if

23:14

you stay in cheap hotels, keep your eyes out people

23:17

you may have stayed where a guy from San Francisco

23:20

has stayed. Just don't turn on

23:22

the black line. That's all I have to say. That's

23:24

awesome. That is awesome. Man.

23:27

I love to hear people doing cool stuff.

23:30

Vandalism, Yeah, but it's it's

23:32

vandalism with like an eye towards it's

23:35

fundalism. Well,

23:37
