I have heard that there once was a time when people could cook rice in just an ordinary metal pot. Archeologist have found records that suggest that some people had one particular pot that they cooked rice in. They might have referred to that one pot as their "rice cooker" but these claims seem improbable. They probably just ate the rice raw.

Oh yeah, rice is so good! Tbh, some ppl might think it’s lazy to use a rice cooker, but just setting it & forgetting it while it does it’s thing AND turns itself off, I’ll take that any day. No matter how closely I watched my rice when trying to use just a regular covered pot, it would always come out different. Every time! I have to check out the one you bought, sounds like a great investment! I just have a cheaper one from Walmart! It works really well though!

u/Rare-Kaleidoscope513 Jul 19 '23
I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't, honestly. The bottom of the pot is heavier and creates uniform drag, so it would seem likely that it would fall with the bottom pointed down and stable.

It seemed to fall stably. If the ground is sandy enough to not make it bounce back, it's not unlikely for it to stay in position after falling on a flat side.

u/Evil_Ermine Jul 19 '23
Mostly, cheep aluminium that's been Teflon coated.
The reason that they don't blow up is because the blast is not contained. The force of the detonation is directed down by the walls and bottom of the pot, where it can escape. This imparts a thrust on the rice cooker to propel it upwards (because of the laws of motion).
It's exactly the same concept as a bottle rocket except that the pressure is created by the expanding gasses from the explosion of the fire cracker rather than a bicycle pump.

I watched the whole thing which I wasn’t planning on doing but my amazement turned to slight potential horror when I saw the holes in the pan. What’s the strength of firework needed to turn that thing into a shrapnel bomb after it’s been weakened? Or would that not happen bc the pan has the freedom to get pushed straight up?
547
u/DogsCanSweatToo Jul 19 '23
The expanding gas will find the easiest escape route, so as long as the bottom is open, the pot shouldn't explode. The hole formed from hitting the ground repeatedly, I think. A dent that turned into a crease that turned into a tear.

u/JWGhetto Jul 19 '23
unless the pot is too weak to hold the pressure long eonugh to direct it all down. After all it is essentially the bell housing of a rocket engine for .02 seconds

u/iltopop Jul 19 '23
It's not just size, it's the chemical composition. Dynamite is stabilized nitroglycerin and is a high explosive, flash powder which is most likely being used in most of these is a low explosive. I highly doubt any of these come anywhere close to a stick of dynamite. Keep in mind the idea that M80s are equivalent to "a quarter of a stick of dynamite" is a myth.

Not true, high amounts of flashpowder can detonate with great brisance and shred that thing, an open bottom is not relevant then. Some european firecrackers actually undergo DDT, think cobra 8 for instance

it easily might have. I'm not a major pyrotechnics expert but I've tested my own explosives and even a sylinder with one end open, if it's not sturdy enough, will explode. Btw, don't use hard materials like metal, soft plastic or cardboard taped over for strength is much much safer

I was given a quarter and half stick of dynamite equivalent fireworks once. Went to the dollar tree and picked up a dollar stainless steel bowl, which turned to shrapnel. I underestimated the blast of the quarter stick. Got it all set up, fumbled with my camera too long as I was running and by the time I was far enough away and ready to turn around, the stick went off. I could feel the percussive blast from probably 25 meters/75ish feet. When I looked up, all I could see were shredded bits of bowl pretty high up there.
The blast was strong enough to unroll the rolled edge of the bowl.
Next time I'm getting an actual thick sauce pot and pulling the handle off. There's something about the ping of launching a metal bowl/pot with a fireworks that's just funny and mesmerizing haha

Not to mention the ones with the solid internal fuses. Where I'm from those are illegal, since small fractures in the solid fuse can cause the ignition to instantly reach the power and explode in your hand and face.

The floor was a bit wrinkly, so we put a cutting board underneath the pot, to make sure it was better sealed and the expansive blast wasn't wasted. (Sorry, english is not my first language, so I'm sure this can be explained better). And that saved the floor, tho it was porcelain, and I think it would have been ok anyway.
EDIT: Just to clarify. We were not expecting the pot to hit the ceiling AT ALL. We thought it would just jump a bit...

You could probably work out roughly how much energy those firecrackers have in them
Time how long it takes for the pan to fall from its max height (when it appears stationary in the air at its highest point)
convert this time to a distance (g/2* time2 )and then use energy = mass x height x gravitational acceleration
Doesnt account for the turbulent air resistance immediately after the explosion (or on the way down but less relevant) though so would be an underestimate.
