Primitive Life : Make knife from Iron-Full process!!

Bear Grylls: We will build a small lean to shelter to survive the night. This Guy: We will progress into the iron age.

For anyone wondering he gets iron by reacting iron oxide (the red stuff, rust essentially) with carbon (from the charcoal). The reaction reduces the iron oxide to iron metal and oxidizes the carbon to carbon dioxide. That stuff can just leave the reaction mixture as a gas, leaving (theoretically) pure metal behind. A lot of the time some of the pure carbon will be left in the metal, creating more brittle cast iron. A more vigorous version of this reaction is called thermite, which is the reaction of iron oxide and aluminum. The reaction scheme is a similar redox reaction to the one seen with FeO and C but it is much more exothermic, to the point where it can melt through solid metal.

I mean can you imagine how valuable that knife would be to you.

Make an Iron knife: Step 1: Build a blast furnace.

Only the beginning until he starts to dig and sell oil.

The amount of ingenuity and sheer determination this man possesses is incredible. The amount of work he put into crafting that knife and chisel is astounding. Until now, I was under the impression that I was a hard worker..... little did I know. Hats off to you sir.

Sorry but this is fake or staged there is no way he got that much metal from that little bit of Iron oxide he put into that first furnace that barely got hot enough to heat metal

He uploaded this video with the computer he made out of clay

Achievement unlocked: Acquiring Hardware

this is genius, I dont care what anyone says. 999 out of 1000 wouldnt know how to do this.

Me: sleeps all day This guy: makes it into the iron age by himself

This guy: trapped at the top of a flat mountains... Surrounded with vicious animals... 3 months later... Came down will a full plate mail with an ak 47...

Next episode: Diamond sword

This is absolutely amazing and makes me feel beyond amazed at how this came about originally. What insane thinkers had to sit around and look at rocks and say, "That one looks different than the ones we have used. I wonder why." Time passes and probably many painful accidents and....viola, metal! The fact that we have thousands of years of wisdom to stand on needs to not be forgotten in the pursuit of progress.

Finally a video that shows this whole process! god damn it thank you

Cant wait for the video on your moon landing
