Adam Savage Inspired Me to Build Something Absurd; I Hope He Likes It!
Dear Internet:
Adam Savage and Mark Rober inspired me invent something absurd—the Bubble Dragon—which is a highly unique machine that casts grapefruit-sized soap bubbles from mixed welding gasses (acetylene and oxygen) that can be detonated mid-air with a handheld flint striker for truly underwear-threatening booms with the approximate punch of a cherry bomb.
Making something like this reasonably safe required patent-worthy innovation and significant effort, but thankfully my hypothesis that a balloon could safely contain welding gasses with enough pressure to blow bubbles was correct. While the devil is always in the details and there were many challenges to overcome, I was eventually able to build a high-performance, industrial-quality machine that can really dial it up to 11 for some extremely thrilling scientific experimentation. I also attempted to give it some artistic flair with claws and whatnot.
While I’m thrilled with how the Bubble Dragon turned out, my success ends in finding an appropriate place to test it dialed up, or a satisfactory way to record such without professional equipment, and I’ve already invested heavily in this project. It is for this reason that I have reached out to both Mark Rober and Adam Savage to humbly request a place to play with the machine they helped to inspire and to extend to them invitations to pop some bubbles of an unforgettably terrifying sort that will surely peak their adrenaline and may even make them think twice before dipping into their next bubble baths 😂 .
Based on their past interest in spectacular chemical reactions or pyrotechnics and their tendencies to use technology to explore the limits of physics, I earnestly believe that they would get a kick out of this, so I put my maximum effort into a video to help convince them that it would be worthwhile to experience firsthand. You can find that here: https://youtu.be/bg-uCaPdddI
While I really hope that at least one of them will be personally interested, in case they’re not, I would appreciate anyone’s advice on where to test in my area and how to record.
Thanks to Mark and Adam for all the encouragement through their videos, and I hope all of you find this entertaining! If you do, please like/subscribe/comment 😄 .
