- Hey guys how's it going it's Justine
and guess who I'm with today?
- The King Of Random, Grant Thompson.
- And today this is something that
I'm calling "The Ebay Revenge".
So this is a 3GS that I got on Ebay that said
that it was new in the box, and that was a lie.
I've opened a lot of Apple Products before,
this is not the handiwork of an original unboxed iPhone.
- I brought down, to L.A , my backyard metal foundry.
Now this is a trash can that I've lined with Kaowool,
so it can now resist temperatures up to
around 2500 degrees fahrenheit,
which should be well above the melting point
of your plastic iPhone casing there.
- We also have another one, you guys
might remember this, it was a few VidCons ago.
This phone we actually stuck in this big,
chomping fake shark for Shark Week, and it chomped my phone.
Hopefully I can find that video and I'll show you guys that.
- Oh my god, I think the iPhone
- I think the iPhone is destroyed!
- It went right through the teeth.
But today, we're getting revenge on the Ebay lying scammers.
- We're gonna fire this thing up,
we're going to get one of our crucibles ripping hot,
and then we're going to take this broken, scammy iPhone,
and we're going to throw it down inside
the foundry and see exactly what happens.
(upbeat punchy music)
- Will it get to temperatures that will melt the metal?
Probably not if the frame is made of steel.
- We don't know what's gonna happen.
- Yeah we really don't know what' gonna happen,
it's an experiment.
- This is an experiment.
- Let's go light it up.
- ("Light 'Em Up - Fall out Boy)
- (singing) "I'm on fire!"
- So this foundry that we've got is two propane jets.
We're running it from a propane tank back here,
a 20 pound cylinder, like you'd use for barbecuing.
We've got both of the valves open.
We're going to shoot the jets and light them
and it's gonna create a swirling vortex of fire
and this crucible is gonna sit right inside here
and it's going to turn glowing, red hot.
- Wow!
Yeah! Let's test it out on the broken one cause I
really don't wanna even give this one up,
even though it's a lie.
- Do you wanna be the one to flip the switch?
- Uh... I guess.
- Okay, so.
- Should I?
- Yup! You should.
- So how safe is this on?
- Not safe.
Naw, it's okay.
- Like that?
- From a distance, if your head is over top of it,
you might lose that beautiful hair.
- From a distance...
- [Grant] And we don't want to touch the hair.
- ("From a Distance- Bette Midler)
- [Justine] Whoa, okay, wait.
- [Grant] Now it's (mumbles) a shot.
- (mumbles), oh! Okay!
(screaming) Holy! What? It's so loud!
(laughing)
(foundry rumbling loudly)
- The lid here is lined with Kaowool as well,
that's going to go on top and form an insulating barrier,
just like this.
(foundry rumbling loudly)
whoa!
- What's happening? Why is it so loud?
- We've got propane that's jetting in there,
it's sucking air in through the jets and then it's
lighting it and coming out through the top.
This thing is going from cold, which is like
85-90 degrees today to about 2200 degrees Fahrenheit
In about 10 ten minutes.
- Wow! This is absolutely insane!
Do not try this at home! Do not!
(foundry rumbling loudly)
Holy!
(foundry rumbling loudly)
This can't be safe.
- [Grant] Look at that face, look at that face.
- This can't be safe.
- [Grant] Nobody said anything about safe.
(grant laughs)
- Naw, you're good, you're good. I've got skill.
- [Justine] Famous last words.
( foundry rumbling loudly)
- [Grant] And we're going to leave this for about
10 to 15 minutes to let it heat up cause that
crucible right now is the same temperature as
outdoor temperature, about 90 degrees.
And we want to raise it up to about 2200 degrees
then we can get out your phone and put it inside.
(upbeat, techno music)
- Quick update guys; the foundry has been roaring
for about 15 minutes now, that's given it enough time to
come up to temperature, so it is ready.
- Oh yeah, it is ready for revenge.
So this is what you get when your cross me on Ebay.
- [Grant] Let's go do it!
(upbeat, techno music)
- [Justine] Holy crap!
(foundry roaring loudly)
- Now the question is, do you want to put the phones in?
- No! You!
- Okay, I'm going to put the phones in.
- Already decided.
- Just gonna clip it with the tongs here,
we're gonna take the lid off the foundry gently,
lower down the crucible, and see what it does.
Would you like to take the lid off?
- Do I have to?
- [Grant] Very nice, very nice!
You doing okay?
- Yes.
- Alright, cool. Here we go.
Here goes the phone.
(foundry roaring loudly)
Oh, wow!
- [Justine] Holy crap!
- [Grant] Look at it go.
I think that's all the plastic melting off right now.
- [Justine] Oh god, it stinks!
(foundry roaring loudly)
is it safe?
- [Grant] Now stand back because that battery might explode.
- Then what happens?
- Let me take the lid and put it back on.
(grant laughing)
Did you see that thing?
When we put the phone in there it was like a
swirling whirlpool of fire just shooting out the top.
I think a lot of that is the plastic burning
off of the back of the casing.
- Okay, but like, is it safe?
- Look at this.
You can see fire blowing off every one of these vents here.
Its crazy!
Its going insane and we've still got a lithium ion
battery in there with the potential to explode.
(bouncy electronic music)
- [Justine] Is this safe?
- [Grant] You've gotta define safe.
- I don't know, I'm gonna have a house?
- Yes.
- Are you sure?
- Yup.
- I'm scared.
("Falling Apart- Aldenmark Niklasson")
- Are you having fun or are you terrified?
- I don't know, I don't know.
I'm not sure how I feel.
I don't know if I'm scared or like I just
can't stop looking at it.
I'm just afraid of...
- [Grant] This is obviously a very, very new experience
way outside of your comfort zone.
- Yeah, I'm very uncomfortable.
(grant laughs)
I think that's the best way to put it.
- So, Justine is going to hand out there for a bit
while I give you and update.
The phone I think is completely melted or
whatever it's done cause the flames have died down
and everything's returned to normal.
Let's go ahead and take the lid off now
and see exactly what we've got left in our crucible.
(foundry roaring loudly)
- [Justine] Oh my god, I don't believe this is it.
- [Grant] Oh, wow! Look at that!
The phone does not look like a phone.
- [Justine] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- [Grant] What?!
It's got some weird slag on the front.
Its just like, it almost looks like
a book burned in a fire. Like the pages are peeled back.
- [Justine] That's unreal!
I'm gonna take a couple steps back.
(foundry roaring)
- [Grant] Look at that.
The top just peels back.
(foundry roaring)
whoa, doggy!
Look at this.
There's the frame of your phone.
- [Justine] Oh my gosh!
(foundry roaring)
- [Grant] So I'm gonna check back in in a little bit.
I'm kinda thinking that frame must be made of
stainless steel or something.
- [Justine] It probably is.
- Cause if that were aluminum, that thing would have
melted completely.
The glass is gone.
- I couldn't bring myself to break this one
even though I got scammed.
I'm too attached.
(kiss sound)
my baby.
- I think we've been running for about 25 to 30 minutes
so if anything is gonna happen,
it would have already happened.
We go ahead and reveal this and what ever we got,
is what we've got.
(foundry roaring)
- [Justine] Holy crap!
- [Grant] Whoa!
That's hot! Hot stuff!
Look at that.
I don't know what that is, part of the screen maybe.
Look at this.
There's your iPhone frame.
- [Justine] Wow!
- [Grant] Oh my gosh!
You've melted the glass!
We have molting glass in there.
- [Justine] That's incredible!
- [Grant] Yes, it is!
Its unreal.
Pull this out real quick.
Just going to stick that right over here in this crucible
and pull it out.
Whoa! That is toasty, that is hot stuff.
what do you think?
- Well I hear sirens, I wonder if they're coming to my house
- Oh my gosh, you're right.
Oh well, we'll get all this packed up and away
before they're here.
- Sh, we did nothing.
- [Grant] There's still stuff glowing and bubbling
in there that looks absolutely insane.
Come check this out.
- [Justine] Yeah, look at this.
- [Grant] Its actually got a pleasant aroma,
almost like a campfire out in the middle of the woods,
- I wish I had some sticks, we could roast marshmallows.
- [Grant] There's your iPhone frame, Justine.
- [Justine] That's pretty crazy,
so it definitely must have been stainless steel.
- [Grant] Yeah, or steel of some sort.
- [Justine] So this was the iPhone 3GS.
- [Grant] This piece of metal that resisted
and if these were aluminum, they would have melted for sure.
Oh look, there's the battery.
- [Justine] Oh, boy. That's safe.
- [Grant] Somehow the metal in the battery survived.
I'm glad that didn't explode on us.
There's the screen right there.
- [Justine] Whoa!
- [Grant] There's the iPhone 3GS.
- [Justine] Yeah.
- [Grant] That's the screen.
So it completely liquified and then hardened up again
as a big ball of glass and metal.
Good stuff!
- [Justine] That's pretty cool.
Whoa!
- [Grant] That right there is the screen for the iPhone
melted into glass and stuck to the bottom of the crucible.
- [Justine] That's pretty awesome.
I bought these a long time ago for another cooking video,
clearly I still have them.
These are the jumbo 'melows.
- [Grant] This is a King of Random cooking video.
Here we go, lets just see what happens.
How much residual heat do we have on that furnace there?
- I think a lot, 'cause I can feel it from here.
- [Grant] Check this out.
How close can we get before it starts cooking?
Oh, I can smell that. It actually smells quiet nice.
- [Justine] Oh my gosh, this is the best way to
make marshmallow, toasted.
(grant laughs)
God, does that smell incredible.
- [Grant] It does smell really good.
- Wow. That's like the most perfect toasted marshmelow
I've ever seen.
- There you go, Justine.
- Thank you.
- Nothing like backyard barbecuing.
- Now we just need some chocolate and some graham crackers
and we've got a hot s'mores.
A molten hot s'mores.
Look at that.
- [Grant] Mhm.
Its gooey and good.
- Does it taste like iPhone?
(laugh)
- So it looks like the things that survived was
a little piece of the inside.
We've got the frame, which is defiantly some sort of steel
- [Grant] Mhm.
- [Justine] Because that did not melt at all.
Which is kinda crazy.
- [Grant] I have melted cooper with this thing,
but I've never been able to melt steel.
It has a really high melting point.
But what blows me away is that the screen,
like the actual glass, melted down and feel to the
bottom of my crucible. So we were actually able to
melt glass with this, which I'm very proud of.
- Is that something you don't do very often?
- I've never tried it before.
- Really?
- Its a first .
- Well here we are, we did it.
I know that you guys probably were expecting me to
throw in the one that I got off of Ebay.
But since it was a pretty perfect phone,
I couldn't bring myself to do it.
But this is my Ebay revenge on an old phone
that actually didn't work.
- Take that Ebay!
In your face!
(laugh)
- Well thank you guys so much for watching,
and a huge thank you for Grant.
Make sure you go check out his channel.
We've also done some super crazy videos on his channel
as well and it was super exciting.
- We just tried freezing a computer
with liquid nitrogen to see if it would survive.
- [Justine] What do you guys think?
Do you think it will survive?
I don't know.
You'll have to go watch the video.
Let me know what other videos you might want me to make.
'Cause I don't think I could ever top anything like this.
- Maybe we can come back and do it again?
- Please, yes!
This is great, I loved burning!
- Whoa, yes!
- Bye, guys!
- See 'ya.
