Lol
They actually do that? Geez
Parents: don’t run with scissors
Backyard Scientist *runs with molten aluminum*
With shorts also
What could go wrong?!
Well... when dealing with metal that melts at 1220°C, his shorts could certainly melt along with his leg hairs, skin, muscles and even his very cell DNA could start to disintegrate.
Many things could go wrong, many things...

The mere presence of the word “Fortnite” infuriates me.
And that SCAR is like $3k if anyone is wondering
fortnite
Haha am I funny yet
Robert Shaffer even then I’d prefer a .308 AR. My dads friend actually has one and we shot it before. Too bad it’s Cali Neutered.
Too bad its charging handle gets in the way - otherwise it would be a great gun.
@Robert Shaffer i think its cause of 2 reasons: 1, only one company makes the SCAR, whilst there are many that make an AR. and 2, lots of R&D went into the process of the rifle. It literally is Special Operations Combat Assault Rifle, so. Not even common for military to have it.

@Robert Shaffer 5 year olds in Congress?! I feel so behind in life...
Jasper Delien first thing I thought of it demo ranch
Chris D well they use little kids all the time after shootings to get sympathy votes
@@ChrisD__ Would explain a lot.
I was thinking about MW2
A slower hollow point (maybe .45) would be cool to try. It might expand in the aluminum
I like how you put a LOT of work in to these , that is why I watch you a lot.
I think you need to measure how long a bullet takes to melt when submerged in molten aluminum, then use that data to estimate how much aluminum a bullet would have to travel through to be melted by it.
Wouldn't be accurate exactly because its not accounting for the initial temp of the bullet, nor the extra conduction of the bullet traveling through the aluminum, but it would get you an upper limit.
The bullet would stop after about 18 inches of aluminum, like in water.
Good point, but its probably not the same distance as in water. IDK if its the waters density or surface tension or what that contributes to the number, but its very likely to different with aluminum, I'd guess shorter.
Also both the bullets they were using are copper jacketed. Which has a higher melt temp that aluminum.
They should also test it against a solid block of aluminum the same thickness as the container of molten aluminum
Think about putting an ice cube into a drink, or even a pot of boiling water. The water is much hotter than the ice. Does it instantly disappear? No, there is a limited rate of heat exchange. It takes at least several seconds. A bullet is passing through in 1/1000th of seconds. This is made worse by the fact that the bullet will have a pillow of compressed air in front of it that insulates it from the metal. I wouldn't be surprised if the bullet never even touches the aluminum by the time it exits the can, just from the air cushion around it. Bit of a silly hypothesis by BYS, putting a bullet on steel wire and dunking it would demonsrate it's going to take several seconds to melt even if it's lead (let alone copper).
See the problem is you said the g word I recommend calling them “fun sticks”
It's funny you think the algorithm is that simplistic.

And nothing did!
Well... as a result of the running anyway.
I swear this dude dose not understand safety some days. Like really. You shout have leather boots and thick denim jeans as a basic. All clothes must be cotton so they don't melt or leather to deflect it

5:23!?!?!?
Molten aluminum with shorts
🤔🤔🤔🤔😫😫😫😫
It makes sense- the amount of time the bullet is in contact with the molten metal is tiny, so the amount of heat transferred should be pretty small too. Personally I was more curious if the density of the molten aluminium would do it. I know it's a fairly light metal, but it's still twice the density of water, so I'd expect it would help.
I liked how much it splashed though, and the smoke rising up from the grass looked really cool!
"educational content"
I loved that 😄
Well, after watching it I now know something I didn't know before.... *they already shot all their fire extinguishers*!!!

Up next: can a swimming pool of molten aluminium stop a tank shell?
Rudol Von Stroheim Sounds expensive
Sorry but, projectile*
The shell iso the whole package.
@@gundorstoneskin5900 yeah he is Just gonna yeet the Shell at the pool
5 million subscriber video?
What type of tank shell are we talking of here?
You got, HEAT, APDSFS, HE, ATGM (Barrel fired) or the more interesting STAFF...
For closer shots with the high speed camera you should either get a high zoom lens or a reinforced shelter for the camera so it can get close to the action. I’d love to see a video of you creating that.
I think that a comparison of the penetration of a backstop would be useful, taking into account the greater energy dump when using fluid metal instead of water.
Perhaps gallium or mercury, or maybe even molten lead.
So now instead of a solid metal projectile hitting me, I can have a load of 1000° molten metal tear through my chest cavity and liquifying my internal organs. Thanks!
Or maybe it will automatically cauterize the wound and stop bleeding? We need more data
"Get a human subject!"

@@williamlux Exactly
2:07 is when you skip after wix advert
Very cool experiment! 👍👍 Personally, I didn't think it would stop the bullet in the manner that you anticipated, because at the speed the bullet is traveling, it wouldn't have enough dwell time in the aluminum to cause the projectile to completely melt. That being said, I would love to see what was left of them after exiting.

Whats up with idubbz?
A long time ago, I, and some drunken confederates who were taking classes at Penland School, emptied the magazine of my pistol into a large gather of molten glass. the lead melted and flowed out and left little copper flowers behind. after it was annealed, one of the guys cleaned up the bottom and turned into a paperweight for the director of the school, and he didn't kick us out.
As in you shot the molten glass or chucked some bullets In the crucible?
@@TheBackyardScientist back then, the glass studio was at one end of the building and us anvil-whackers sere at the other. it was handy to the giant propane tank out back.- i forget his name, but he got like 3 gathers, a huge glob, and ran down the building, and det it on the floor in front of a stunmp sith an anvil
@@playswithknives I read this at least three times and I still have no idea what you're saying, but boy does it sound like fun
@@gafriglebit the molten glass was a floppy blob on the end of a blowpipe. in some ways ,glassblowing is like throwing a pot on the end of a stick, and you can only touch it with tools.
@@TheBackyardScientist I can translate: "We were drunk and playing with molten glass and guns. We shot into the melted glass until the gun was empty. The lead melted, and leaked out the bottom. Thus leaving the expanded copper jackets suspended in the glass. they were shiny, and shaped like flowers."

Nah man, that's Cj, or Franklin
Killian Jerrr 2 are u talking about GTA
No, your smart think about the name trust me
Now I'm no scientist but I would guess that the massive displacement of the molten aluminum as soon as the bullet goes in combined with the incredible speed of the 5.56 round (even compared to most other calibers) resulted in minimal contact between the molten aluminum and bullet which would keep it from melting
7:03 in the distance...
*oh my god the tables on fire!!*
This was a really interesting video, I have some theory’s that I think you could possibly try in the future 1. The 223 is a rather thin bullet and is going really fast and I think to fast for the aluminum to even come in contact with maybe get a round that is slower so less powder behind it and the bullet itself having more surface area, maybe like a 500 magnum idk cuz that’s still going super fast but you could always just drop a bullet into the bucket of aluminum 😂
There was no way the bullet was ever going to melt because it wasn't going to be in the aluminum long enough. Maybe if you got a much much bigger container of aluminum it would work, something to try later. Great video and spectacular molten metal explorations, thanks Kevin.

Somebody get this man a Phantom! I need super slow-mo.
@4:34 I kinda wish you pulled the slug out to show the audience the true size of the .223 slug, then talked about how a slug that's about double the size is delivering ~30x the joules due to its delivery mechanism.
edit: math
Yep, the entire cartridge is not a fair comparison.
A sniper round can vary on one hand it can be huge, on the other, tiny
ar-15 yeet True. Anything can be a “sniper round”. Robert Kennedy was killed by a .22. Reagan almost died from one, too. WWI was started by a .380.
"the bullet will just melt on impact"
BOI do you know just how flipping fast a bullet moves. I'm weeeak 😂
@jacob mcconeghy Yea, dude has no idea how guns work, and then the side by side of the pellet and the 5.56 round, as if to say "look at this huge bullet beside this tiny one" 🙄
@@raganFEAGIN like has he seen a giant sniper bullet?
Jacob, exactly. He does know about heat transfer rates, right?
ar-15 yeet sniper round? As in 7.62? 6.5 creedmoor? Or a .308 Winchester, need to be specific, as there’s no such thing as a sniper round

You might have had a different result using lead ball rounds (no jacket )instead of full metal jacket round. The copper jacket has a lot higher melting point than lead and it probably prevented the lead from melting and slowing down.
A friend w a scar is a friend indeed
And run an open sight on cue?
I need a friend like that
There’s a gun #demonitized
Thats one of my fav vids on the channel just the wya the moltan aluminum almost suspends itself in the air.
It's clear that the bullet from each gun is going too fast through the molten Al to melt. The bullet may even be displaying the Leidenfrost effect during its passage through the molten Al.
Even if lead has a low melting point you can't really heat it to that temperature in a fraction of a second by putting it in molten aluminum. The bullet is pretty much solid the whole time and i would guess that the metal container for the aluminum actually provided more of a protection than the aluminum.

The bullet actually went through the molten aluminum the first time too, if you use the keys to navigate the frames you can actually see the path the bullet takes through the gel and aluminum, and it shouting out at the other side.

@@dELTA13579111315 I would imagine that copper or brass are so heavy they'd crush the tunnels and the result would be a blob.
