Tungsten Thor's Hammer (World's HEAVIEST)

a portion of this video has been sponsored by LastPass oh yeah That's stupid Hi guys, I'm Hacksmith and this is Make it Real About a year ago, my team and I set out to make the

heaviest

Thor's

hammer

in the

world

. We take a replica of Mjolnir that we bought at the Armor Factory and fill it with molten lead. It weighed 73 pounds, which we thought was the

heaviest

Thor

hammer

replica in the

world

, but another YouTuber named Brain Fuu managed to make a slightly larger one filled with lead that weighed 91 pounds, however, ours was quite impressive and made destroying things super. fun but 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 cubic centimeters. That material is

tungsten

, which has a density of 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter, which is almost 1.5 times denser, but it's super expensive. Pure

tungsten

could cost more than $10,000 in the quantity we need. Luckily, the video went super viral and is actually one of our most viewed videos on the channel, so we can justify spending thousands of dollars on scrap tungsten to try to make the world's heaviest Thor's hammer. Also, we are making it as a gift for someone.

Very special, the strongest man in the world. You may know it as the mountain from Game of Thrones. Half Icelandic by Haf

Julius Bjornsson Is that right? He has won the title of World's Strongest Man for years in a row, he can lift over a thousand pounds, bench press over 500 and even throw a washing machine 14 feet. We believe or rather hope that he can wield Mjolnir with one hand like Thor. after all, his nickname is literally Thor, although it's no easy task because he's horribly unbalanced and requires tremendous wrist strength that perhaps only Thor would possess.

Our goal is to make the hammer weigh approximately 50 kilograms or around 110 pounds. Lifting it would be the equivalent of taking a two-hundred-pound dumbbell, lifting it above your head, and cutting off one side. In fact, there's a great video on the BrainFoo channel that shows bodybuilders trying to lift their 91-pound hammer and no one could hold it properly with one hand.

Ian: Oh yeah sweet, so let's open it up again and then we can make it the heaviest Thor's hammer in the world and the general plan is to put as much tungsten as we can inside the hammer and then we're going to Melt lead to fill all the extra space and the goal is to make this thing over 100 pounds, ideally more than Stormbreaker Ian: Yeah, there's 10 pounds right now, so we need to add 90 pounds of tungsten and lead. Lead and Tungsten Soup So one of our subscribers sold us the leftover tungsten and that's the packaging job for him.

I have a better idea, we have the stunt cable system, let's raise it to the ceiling and then drop it. Should we up the ante and place it? It burns while we do this. So we have to do this quickly before the fire reaches the Kevlar holding it. Loose! Yeah! and that's how you open a box. Okay, now we have our tungsten bits. This little piece alone weighs almost 20 pounds 42.7 Ian: Error A little over 85 pounds, if we can get these two big pieces and a sinker we should be able to break 100 pounds we're going to want to fill this piece to the brim with lead Ian: To the bandsaw Alright, while the bandsaw works on that piece of tungsten, I think we should probably do it the old fashioned way, by hand. a splinter, okay, 1mm, is that doing anything?

That took about a week of cutting to cut all this tungsten that we went through. I think seven or eight band saw blades. Tungsten is extremely difficult to cut with a machine, basically you're not supposed to, tungsten is. normally what you use to make the cut are tungsten carbide drill bits and all sorts of things like that Ian: Puzzle time Feeling how heavy they are I don't know how the lead is going to get into all those little spaces I feel like it's not going to work as well as we expect, we can return to the scene when it doesn't work.

Ian: Perfect. We did it! Ian: Oh, it weighs 74.5 pounds, so the base of the hammer alone 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 weigh 92.5 pounds Ian: So if we can get one of With these we can get 102.5 Alright, you might be wondering how we're going to melt this lead. We will use a lightsaber. Okay, that was awesome, but I think we should probably just use a stove. Ian: And a flamethrower, and what better. way to melt lead than without a flamethrower Ian: Backwards So to ensure constant heat throughout Thor's hammer, we are actually heating up the Pub-g bulletproof pan, hypothetically the lead should melt very well in all the crevices James: Are you starting to melt yet?

This is our boring flamethrower, so as you can see, it's a little more violent Dave Dave 22.7 pounds even with just the top full of lead, we're up to 22.7 pounds plus about 75 pounds, which means we're almost at 100 pounds James: No, no, no, the bottom cap of Thor's hammer separated and is now leaking molten lead through the metal dust. Thank goodness we have an extra hammer. James: We're going to be between 125 and 130 pounds, damn, we can get back on the scene. when it doesn't work, the first melting of lead into Thor's hammer didn't go so well and he somehow threw lead everywhere and destroyed this hammer so this wouldn't happen with the next hammer which is the last one we have. , we're going to melt this one intentionally to find out what the melting point is to prevent this from happening again because we were heating with the Thor hammer on a propane burner and we couldn't really control the temperature so we actually got probably more hotter than the melting point of lead and the hammer itself, so what we're going to do this time is buy a stove for 20 dollars on Craigslist and that means we'll be able to preheat everything to around 500 Fahrenheit, which is still a long way off. below the melting point of lead, which is around 625 Fahrenheit, so hopefully we'll get it hot enough that when we pour the liquid lead, if it flows it fills all the spaces and it doesn't melt. outside, but who knows what will really happen.

By the way, let's get started. Okay, the general idea here is that we have a nice big cast iron skillet, now what we're going to do is go around it. with iron filings in this way we can obtain a consistent mass of heat around it that is heavy. I don't think any of us have the strength, just go and swipe it. We've actually installed a chain hoist from the ceiling and actually lifting it up, let's put this pan there. It's time to start cooking. You need to melt some lead. Now that hopefully the hammer is at about 500 Fahrenheit.

In fact, we have a thermal camera that you can come see here. Very good. turn on the burner That heats up very quickly Alright, let's throw in the cord You can literally see the heat start to seep through the fan. It looks like the cable is around 70 degrees Celsius right now. This is much easier than what we were doing. before Woah Dave: Fire Ian: It's pretty molten now James: So what we need to do here is quickly remove the hammer, place it on this concrete here and then hopefully we can pour all that lead in and leave it.

Calm down, oh yeah, look at that, Ian: so we'll probably put 15 pounds on, okay, we've got to cool this down. Did someone say he was Hacksmith's biggest fan? 91.2 pounds 114 pounds exactly 51.7 kilos As far as I know, it is the heaviest Thor's hammer. Two little bubbles formed on the outside here and here, hopefully we can sand them off like a charm, Ian, squeeze it, oh yeah. look at that. Is that good? Oh my goodness, now all we have to do is polish the hammer. Put the leather back on the handle and I think we'll call it finished and then use thread locker to make sure it doesn't come apart.

There will be some very strong people trying to move this around James: Alright, now to make this hammer really unique to Thor, we're also going to engrave an inscription on it. Which is not an easy task, somehow we will have to load this onto the CNC Machine That was difficult, I think it's quite heavy, but I'm going to hold it just in case James: Will you be able to move it? Ian: I think so James: Try to run Ian: Let's use This new engraver that we got from Tormach is a spring-loaded tungsten tip and we drag it and scratch the engraving.

Whoever holds this hammer, if worthy, will possess the power of Haf

. Okay, we're done, we've created. The world's heaviest one-to-one scale replica of Mjolnir, filled with tungsten. We have our regular replica that weighs about 10 pounds, we have our lead filled replica that weighs 73 pounds, let's see how much the tungsten one weighs. 114. 4 pounds, that's over 50 kilograms, that might be a little hard for you to imagine, so we'll show some real Olympic weights to show you what it really weighs. This is the same as this one. In reality, you would have to add another full 45-pound plate to reach the same weight.

Is this Riley? Riley: Oh my god Riley: Oh James: Perfect tungsten has a density almost four times the density of steel, which is crazy. Let's see who is heavier, Jordie or Thor's hammer. 3, 2, 1 We will have every member of the team here at Hacksmith. try to pick up each of these hammers to see if they are worthy and if so, what Thor level they are at one, two, three Evan: Level 1 James: Easy Level 2 James: Easy James: Doesn't that one feel light now? ? ? Ian: I know James: Okay James: If you drop it you're fired Ya Riley: Oh my god that's so unreasonable I can't put it up like here James: ammonium nitride Thanks Jujimufu I almost fell Oh boy that was close I got there Further than I thought I would need.

Oh yeah. Ok, if I make it that far, the Mountain can definitely make it. Where do I go from here? Alright, that's the video, make sure you subscribe because you're not going to.
