      Patreon is going to have to show them some serious love for that to happen.
      From the first Google result, an Amazon listing is selling 100g of gallium for $39.99 USD. The density of gallium is about 5.1g/cc and the approximate volume of a 6ft balloon is 113 cubic feet, or 3200 liters. This *very* roughly totals up to around 6 million USD for the amount of gallium alone.

    These guys descriptions of what they're seeing is almost as entertaining as the stuff itself.

    6:50 you can pause it at literally any frame in this shot and Gav's face is still funny.

    I watched all the terminator movies just yesterday, and I agree. The animation for the t1000 is on point and the gallium looks just like it, well done gents

    It'd be cool to see an updated version of this, except instead of playing music through the speaker, just play fundamental frequencies and see if the gallium reacts the same way as sand
