Tungsten Thor's Hammer (World's HEAVIEST)

a portion of this video has been sponsored by LastPass oh yeah That's stupid Hey guys I'm the Hacksmith and this is Make it Real about a year ago my team and I set out to make the world's heaviest Thor's hammer we took a replica Mjolnir that we bought from the Armour Factory and we filled it with molten lead. It weighed in at 73 pounds which we thought was the heaviest replica Thor's hammer in the world but another youtuber called brain Fuu managed to make a slightly larger one filled with lead that weighed in at 91 pounds regardless ours was pretty awesome and made destroying things super fun but it's not the heaviest, at least not technically. The only option to make a replica hammer heavier is to use a material that has a higher density than lead which has a density of 11.34 centimeters cubed. That material is tungsten which has a density of 19.3 grams per centimeter cube that's almost 1.5 times as dense but it's super expensive pure tungsten could run over $10,000 in the quantity we need. Luckily the video went super viral and it's actually one of our most viewed videos on the channel so we can justify spending thousands of dollars on some scrap tungsten to try making the world's heaviest Thor's hammer plus we're actually making this as a gift for someone very special, the world's strongest man you might know him as the mountain from Game of Thrones. Icelandic born half for Hafthor Julius Bjornsson Is that right? Has taken the World's Strongest Man title years in a row he can deadlift over a thousand pounds, benchpress over 500 and even throw a washing machine 4 meters We believe or rather hope he'll be able to wield Mjolnir one-handed just like Thor, after all his nickname is literally Thor it's no easy task though because it's terribly unbalanced, it requires tremendous wrist strength that perhaps only Thor would possess. Our goal is to make the hammer approximately 50 kilograms or around 110 pounds lifting it would be the equivalent of taking a hundred kilo dumbbell raising it over your head and chopping one side off. In fact there's a great video on BrainFoo's channel showing bodybuilders attempting to lift his 91 pound hammer and no one could hold it with one hand properly. Well enough talking about it let's get started but first this section of the video has been sponsored by LastPass I don't know about you guys but I hate passwords we have so many online accounts these days and they all need a password I constantly forget mine and half reset them it's really really freaking annoying which is why I'm super stoked about this video sponsor LastPass it automates filling out your usernames and passwords for you so you don't have to it lets you keep track of your passwords easily without having to write them down or even remember them.

Thanks again to LastPass for sponsoring this part of the video James: All right is the modified hammer ready? Ian: Oh Yeah Sweet so let's just open it up again and then we can make it the world's Heaviest Thor hammer and the general plan is we're going to put as much tungsten as we can fit inside the hammer and then we're gonna melt down lead to fill in all the extra space and the goal is to make this thing weigh over a 100 pounds ideally heavier than Stormbreaker Ian: yes, so right now where's 10 pounds so we need to add 90 pounds of tungsten and lead. Tungsten lead soup So one of our subscribers actually sold us the scrap tungsten and that is his packaging job I got a better idea, we got the stunt wire system let's lift it up to the ceiling and then drop it Should we up the ante and lay it on fire while we're doing this So we have to do this quickly before the fire catches on to the Kevlar holding it up Drop! Yeah! and that's how you open a box Alright so we've got our chunks of tungsten now Just this small piece weighs almost 20 pounds 42.7 Ian: Error Just over 85 pounds, if we can get these two big pieces and one lead we should be able to break 100 pounds we're gonna want to fill this piece to the brim with lead Ian: To the bandsaw Alright so while the bandsaw works away on that piece of tungsten I think we should probably do it the old-fashioned way by hand Just a sliver alright 1mm Is that doing anything That took about a week of cutting to get all this tungsten chopped up we went through I think seven or eight bandsaw blades The tungsten is extremely hard to cut machine basically you're not supposed to, tungsten is usually what's used to do the cutting like tungsten carbide bits and all kinds of stuff like that Ian: Puzzle time Feeling how heavy those are I don't know how lead's gonna get into all those little gaps Feel like it's not gonna work nearly as well as we hope it will we can cut back to the scene when it doesn't work Ian: Perfect We did it! Ian: Oh heavy 74.5 pounds, so already just the base of the hammer weighs as much as our lead filled mjolnir 74.5 plus 15.5 so we're up to 90 pounds The handle and this piece 92.5 pounds Ian: So if we can get one of these we can get 102.5 Alright so you might be wondering how we're gonna melt down this lead We're gonna use a lightsaber Alright that was freaking awesome but I think we should probably just us a stove Ian: And a flamethrower and what better way to melt lead than with not a flamethrower Ian: To the back So to ensure consistent heat throughout the Thor hammer we're actually heating up the Pub-g bulletproof frying pan hypothetically the lead should just melt real nice into all the cracks James: Starting to melt yet? This is our boring flamethrower, so as you can see it's a bit more violent Dave Dave 22.7 pounds even with just the top filled with lead we're up to 22.7 pounds plus about 75 pounds which means we're almost at 100 pounds James: No no no no no the bottom cap of the Thor hammer separated and now it's leaking molten lead through the metal dust Good thing we have an extra hammer James: we're gonna have like 125 - 130 pounds damnit we can cut back to the scene when it doesn't work the first melting of lead into the Thor's hammer didn't go so well and it kind of dumped lead everywhere and destroyed this hammer so to make this not happen with the next hammer which is the last one that we have, we are going to intentionally melt this one to figure out what the melting point is to prevent this from happening again because we were heating up to the Thor hammer on a propane burner we weren't actually able to control the temperature so we actually got it probably hotter than the melting point of lead and the actual hammer itself so what we're gonna do this time is we've actually gone and we've bought a stove for 20 bucks off Craigslist and that means we're gonna be able to preheat the entire thing to around 500 Fahrenheit which is still well below the melting point of lead which is around 625 Fahrenheit so hopefully we get this hot enough that when we poured the liquid lead in if flows fills all the gaps and doesn't melt the outside but who knows what will actually happen By the way let's get started Okay so the general idea here is we've got a nice big cast-iron frying pan now what we're going to do is we're going to surround it with iron filings this way we can get a consistent heat mass around it that's heavy I don't think any of us possess the strength just go and slide it in we've actually set up a chain hoist from the ceiling and we'll actually be lifting it up let's get this frying pan in there Time to start cooking You need to melt down some lead Now that the hammer is hopefully up to about 500 Fahrenheit We've actually got a thermal camera which you can come see right here Alright let's turn the burner on That heats up real fast Alright let's throw the lead on You can literally see the heat starting to seep through the fan it looks like the lead is around 70 degrees Celsius at the moment This is a lot easier than what we were doing before Woah Dave: Fire Ian: It's pretty molten now James: So what we have to do here is quickly remove the hammer place it onto this concrete over here and then hopefully we're gonna be able to pour all that lead in and let it cool down oh yeah look at that Ian: so we probably put 15 pounds in okay we gotta cool this down. Did someone say they were the Hacksmith's biggest fan? 91.2 pounds 114 pounds exactly 51.7 kilos As far as I know that is the heaviest Thor's hammer There were two little bubbles formed on the outside here and here we're hopefully gonna be able to sand them down Like a charm Ian Tighten her up oh yeah look at that Is that good? Oh my god Now all we have to do is polish up the hammer Put the leather back on the handle and I think we'll call it a day and then we're gonna use threadlock to make sure that it does not come apart There's gonna be some very strong people trying to swing this around James: all right now to make this hammer truly unique for Thor we're also gonna engrave an inscription on it Which is no easy task, we're gonna have to somehow load this into the CNC machine That was difficult I think it's heavy enough but I'm going to clamp it down just in case James: Is this gonna be able to move it Ian: I think so James: try jogging Ian: We're going to be using this new engraver that we got from Tormach it's a spring-loaded tungsten tip and we drag it along and scratches in the engraving Whosoever holds this hammer if he be worthy shall possess the power of Hafthor all right we're done, we've created the world's heaviest one-to-one scale replica Mjolnir, filled with tungsten. We've got our regular replica which weighs about 10 pounds, we've got our lead filled one which weighs 73 pounds let's see how much the tungsten one weighs. 114. 4 pounds that's over 50 kilograms, now that might actually be a bit hard for you guys to imagine so we're gonna bring out some actual Olympic weights to show you what that actually weighs. This is the same as this You'd actually have to add an entire other 45 pound plate to get to the same weight is this Riley? Riley: Oh my god Riley: Ouch James: Perfect Tungsten has a density almost four times as much as steel, which is insane Let's see who's heavier Jordie or Thor's hammer 3, 2, 1 We're gonna have each team member here at Hacksmith try and pick up each of these hammers to see if they're worthy and if so at which level of Thor are they one two three Evan: Level 1 James: Easy Level 2 James: Easy James: Doesn't that one feel light now? Ian: I know James: Nice James: If you drop it you're fired Ya Riley: Oh my god, that is so unreasonable I can't get it above like here James: ammonium nitride Thanks Jujimufu I almost fell over Oh boy that was close I made that way further than I thought I would I need more Oh yeah Ok if I got that far the Mountain can definitely do it Where do I go from here Alright that's the video make sure you're subscribe because you are not gonna want to miss it when we take this to Iceland to give to Thor himself so make sure you're subscribed, hit that notification bell and don't forget to check out the links in the description below.

Pretty Hate Machining did it.

I wanted to see them give it to the mountain and see if he can one-arm it over his head.
