I packed a fishtank completely full of water balls (water beads, water balz, orbeez, spitballs...). Im guessing there are over 10,000 in there!
Anyway, I melted a bunch of old aluminum pipes and poured them into the fishtank hoping to create a cool design. And it worked perfectly! These are really unique, no two pieces are alike.
Vat 19 was nice enough to supply me with the spitballs to use in this video :) www.vat19.com/item/spitballs-...
They are also posting a version of this on their youtube channel, which I will link to soon when its posted.

Thank you Tito4re for the inspiration!
I was watching a video by "Tito4re" where he poured molten copper on waterballs, and that inspired me to fill my fishtank with them, so go visit his channel, it would help him out :)

Why not electroplate them with bismuth to get a rainbow effect
Yes
English?
@@unclebob1478 cover them in bismuth to make them look rainbow-y

Harry Coatsworth that is theoretically plausible
That is modern art you should sell it or admire it
1:46 I would TOTALLY buy something like that. Would make a beautiful decoration! 😍
Could probably make specific forms of you can figure out how to make molds for it. Make a miniature statue or house model.
I was gonna say, I had a sculpture teacher in art school who would die over these.
That's what anthill art is for
Id buy it
You can sell those. They do look like coral. Those beads are very cool. You're as bad as me when I work. I wear flip flops, shorts and a tank top. If any of that molten aluminum ever splashed you, you would be scarred for life. Really pays to wear something protective when working with molten metal.
I agree. I was working with molten metal once and a single drop got on my foot. Hurt like hell and still have the scar. Now im teaching my son to be safer when in the garage working on things 😄
Wait so if you can sell them then where do you buy them?
I sub to. U
Honestly I would 100% buy one of those, they look like cool modern coral pieces!
How would you pay
I think with money?
@@Berm_Blasterprobably with money
Your name is Kevin right.
They look like those sculptures that come out when folks pour aluminum into ant piles.
Yeah, but with much less death.
@@2MeterLP Hypocrite much? Everything you consume is from deaths, from poultry to vaccines.
@@everretwavince1843 I know. But those are meaningful deaths. We honor them at least a little by using every part we can. Pouring molten metal into the home of thousands of creatures just to get an object of questionable beauty is wasting the life of animals.
@@2MeterLP it's typically not for the 'art' of it. Usually the people who do it are exterminators getting rid of invasive species of ants. The metal is an effective way of doing that, that isn't bad for other creatures (like using poisons would be, for example.) The metal that they dig out just happens to be interesting to look at afterwards.
I have no stake in the debate on if it's the best method, I just happened to be recommended a couple videos on the process in the past.
Brandon W. oh, I didnt know that, thanks for the info

What would happen if you accidentally ate some water beads? Would they expand in your stomach?
+Deathbrewer hmm I don't think they would expand by the time you poop them out! You probably have to eat whole bunch for it to be a problem
TheBackyardScientist well your stomach has hydrochloric acid in it so it'll probably break down the water beads instead
Deathbrewer your stomach acid would probably dissolve them anyways.
I am going to say yes, and for a reason. these water beads are common for using for water for insect feeders. there is also a flake version, same stuff different shape. Anyway the flakes have been known to stock to the insects, and then eaten by a reptile or insector pet. which has led to death of many pets in the past. Also these are a polymer plastic material your stomach acid will not dissolve them. As to excreting them prior to absorbing, I doubt it but am not schooled enough in human biology to know for sure.
it would likely take a whole lot to hurt a person. But again they have killed animals.

Imagine how much those will sell for now people will buy anything that looks expensive.......
@brett linthicum then u try to make something look expesinsve
@brett linthicum Brand it as modern art and someone will buy one for over $500
The price wouldn't be from looking expensive, the price would be from the risk of making them

@@nanos1267 I'm thinking a couple grand,make different colors you bet..
TBH I played with those robotic fish way more than I am willing to admit.

Can you do more things with oobleck (icant spell)
dude that looks awesome
How about pouring sulfuric acid into oobleck？？
+TheBackyardScientist Where did you got the green fish and the jellyfish?!!!?!?!?!?!?!
+TheBackyardScientist May I suggest a layer of screen like what you would find in a window for your pouring in water experiments? One layer per metal or pour to mostly filter out all residual pieces from the prior experiment. Cat litter-boxes use a similar method to remove solids from clean cat litter and that's where I got the idea.
you have to sell those it's like art
I would buy one, AT LEAST one
People do the exact same thing with ant hills
I love how quiet he is compared to his newer ones 😂
TheBackyardScientist: "Water Polymer Balls."
Me, a man of culture: "Orbeez."
@Orion D. Hunter nicknamed because of the ' ' surrounding it
You could make some money with those. Very cool.
You have a very sad name
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ좋은아이디어네ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
lololololololol good idea lololol
Found this on Imgur. Liked and subscribed. Cool stuff you got going on.
I would buy that as a sculpture
I was actually hoping to find someone in the comments who had them for sale
You should anodize a few of them some cool colors.

You just made an awesome idea, a brilliant one!
draggonhedd total agreement! Hey @backyardscientist, wanna give this a try?
8e9w9a98a ufficiose
That ding... Bliss.. ☺️
I'd would partly paint them & sell them as works of art.
I’ve never seen anyone pour molten aluminum on their hand, could you do this expirement so we could see what happens?
Well wouldn’t just give you a huge burn it’s hot liquid metal
Hahah if only I recorded the time I spilt it on my arm
Those aluminum designs look insanely cool!
Yay i love Vat 19!
I smell a Vat19 sponsorship! XD Come to think of it, have you guys every sponsored anyone before?
+Vat19 Glad you like them! Thanks for the spitballs! Looking forward to the vid on friday.
Hey Vat19
I am fan of vat19
In happy he shows his mistakes to us as a honest person and not ashamed of it
I refere you to Thunderfoots vid on this
he needs to see this. for his own good
leelelel som1 tell him to pour molten aluminum into dillute NaOH even a few flakes in water is enough to get rid of that pesky oxide layer.
Had to see this myself to believe it.
If he is right why did i not blow up
@@TheBackyardScientist oxide layer skin
just try it with slightly basic water to dissolve the skin and then see what happens.
Backyard scienctst: Makes video
ANTS:OH SH!T
do that with molten copper too.. it will look stunning
+Aman Kapoor I will as soon as I upgrade my forge to melt copper
+TheBackyardScientist Super ... will await it. all the best
+TheBackyardScientist Molten aluminum vs. liquid helium! Liquid helium is 4.2 Kelvin, almost absolute zero!
Can you do molten salt vs oobleck?
And gold.
You could sell that piece of art👌👌
Kayla Robertson think about it
We can sell $1000
dark forest nah... $1 dollar... He didn't make them.. it made it
100 whatever your currency is
The luck of this guy is amazing 🤣
Dont use aluminum in actual fishtank its not good. Make those with copper and then it should be safe
@@husain_d5365 not safety crybaby but more of a "dont put poisonous metals in a tank with living creatures because you wont have a tank with living creatures anymorw" crybaby
@@HidekiShinichi lmao
That ant at 0:37 was like "thank God that wasn't us"
this. this is modern art! i'll give you like 50.000$ for that !
Ok I'll sell you won for that gladly
+joey Mathews one*
Did you mean to say $50 or $50,000
you used should have used a comma instead in that case.

Backyard Scientist you need to make the metal ark by grant thompson, it melts metal in seconds
Yeah Grant Thompson is the man.
***** yeah his little furnace is awesome, and you should do mold castings like rings and stuff
+TheBackyardScientist yeah so true
+TheBackyardScientist Thanks, I saw that! This is an awesome idea .. way better than ant hill art IMO. So creative!
+TheBackyardScientist 0:25 [insert Vat19 gingle here]
This is beautiful!!!👍😍
A unique piece of art that fits with every style. Keep up the work!
Thats cool. "Custom one of a kind molten metal artpiece sculpture - $6000"
0:59 awwww baby 😍😍😍
the outcomes are really beautiful! 👌
Those are really beautiful! You definitely should sell those as art. I can see those easily gracing the tables of the rich and famous. Much more pleasing to the eye than those made from pouring molten Aluminum into Ant nests in my opinion.
I was gonna make an aluminum joke but Al pass this one
Very clever🙂👍

I'M GET AN A+ IN SCIENCE CLASS BECAUSE OF THIS CHANEL
Boom 26 your fucked in spelling class lol
Boom 26 well you better get your english grammar on a passing grade boi
carolyn mmitchell you’re*
Up size this idea instead of a small fish tank try a swimming pool that would be really cool
the aluminium gods have decided you need to convince more people to be gullible enough to follow your example to harvest more souls
It looks like Metallic Coral SO COOL
I'm sure they would sell if you wanted to make some extra money
He does sell a few of them i've noticed, also gives some away in giveaways
+Bob randomness where does he sell them?
i don't know about his older ones but he did post a link to some website where he is selling those ones but dont have the link to give you.
+Logan Bradford Modern art museums would pay a fortune for them if you convinced them it had some sort of special meaning behind each piece.
I'll give ya a dollar.
lol
this is a new ART - a museum is born !
The best way to enjoy science.
Some one take the aluminum away from him before he destroys EVERYTHING!!!
"And in today's video, we will be doing molten aluminum VS a half dozen captured ISIS operatives i harvested from the middle east"
+Gigabic hahahaha
You should sell those you would make a lot of money and I want one
same

That was really cool looking. It would make for great art pieces as stand alone or bases for lamps, tables, or whatever...
It called Science art. Cooler than other dump art.
this could be new art design

I'm gona buy the spitballs
+Brian Morgan yeah
very cool
Why did you tell people how to make them? That stuff would sell for a LOT, even I want one
+steven galazzo Crap I know. I seriously think I can sell them for $100 each. remember everybody, if its not backyard scientist, its a knockoff! ;)
+TheBackyardScientist you totally could, and umm...... Can I have one?
+steven galazzo You convinced me to list 3 of them on etsy www.etsy.com/shop/BornFromScience
+TheBackyardScientist That's awesome I hope they sell, BTW you did a great job on this and that is by far the best aluminum casting I've ever seen!
+steven galazzo Yeah, now anyone with a backyard forge, 10,000 water beads, a giant fish tank lined with acrylic, and bulk scrap aluminum can make their own!
When he's got them all standing on the table (like at 3:04) the one on the far right looks like a monster walking/leaning forward with its mouth open.
Yeah, some kind of ugly sucker
Yay a channel with no clickbait!
honestly most of these aluminum patterns look more like art than actual art
Cover a cat in paint, grab it by the tail, slap it onto a canvas, and you're a billionare!
take a fingerpaint from a kindergarden kid and bam trillionaire xD
+Gigabic Only if you have a european name! D○nt forget that part!
+Gigabic the mental image of this made me LOL
Why don't you make light a force to make things spin
guaranteed profit right there,

I'd buy it
wellp the dog said its gonna explode :/
+FrancisVictor Baul he thinks everything will explode some day...
+The MysteriousDJ me too
Ok, that's AMAZEBALLS! LITERALLY.
You can make little sculptures with that method. That's pretty sweet!
I wonder if you can color the aluminum?
Spray paint is cheap
You are so beautiful 👌
punjab ***** 😊
I wonder if you can use ice cubes
Deana Wells no
Wow that turned out a lot cooler that I originally thought it was going to! Great video! I definently want to do this now!
thank you for getting straight to it and not taking 20 mins
You should make an instrument based on this design to tune the notes all you gotta do is grind it down to tune to the right note and make a few stems in the water for sure
the fish and jellyfish made me laugh so hard 3:11
When I first saw the aluminium result, that was exactly what I thought of, so I couldn't help laughing when he actually used it as coral
I know I thought it was so cool and cute lol
dafuq ufad I was wondering where that octopus and fish can be purchased..I need them ...you know any online store ?
no i don't....but I guess that you would find them on amazon !?
excellent scientifical operation, brah
Matt!!!, Shoot these polymer balls through a shotgun!!!
+Leonel Yan They would probably just disintegrate.
That's hella cool. You could then create reefscapes out of them. Ultra badass
1:53 friend: oh where did you get that backyard scientist oh hey dint get it any where i made it with orbes and lava
beautiful creations.. :D
That's really cool!
HI
Ha ha wow didn't expect to find you here. Guess the science metal etc crews stick together.
+TAOFLEDERMAUS you need test water ball it side up^ with mercury!!!!!!! with hot or cool!
you sould make a gun shell with these
+Kylar Mantooth Aluminium is actually really easy to melt. Brass, which normal ballistic casings are made of, has a melting point of about 1700 degrees. Aluminium melts at about 740 degrees, however, and its malleability makes the expanding air in the shell kill it.
You ever think of sailing these as art? Cause id buy one
Très jolie votre expérience. Bravo.
Wow impresionante excelente video😎👌
I approve of the inclusion of a cute doggie.
you should have an art museum for stuff like this and the electricity balls lightning! XD
This is cool I'm glad I found your channel. Another very cool person who shares his love and passion for his work👍👍. Two thumbs up I'll be binge watching you for awhile and sharing your videos w/my adult children and hopefully they will share with my grandchildren.

This is the coolest thing I have EVER seen
Wait till you see a woman naked for the first time. If you think this is cool, thats gunna blow your freakin mind.
This is actually the dumbest thing you've ever seen.
Pouring molten metal in water is extremely dangerous. Because aluminum can react with water when in liquid state and this reaction produces an insane amount of energy, and with the quantities he used it could have easily blown up half of his yard.
People are killed in foundries on a regular basis just because of wet cuves.
The only reason he's still alive today comes from the poor conditions he melted the aluminum in, protecting the molten metal with an oxyde layer thus preventing the reaction.
Somebody can make a living doing that artwork
My favorite so far. Above and beyond.
Very cool dude! I always have crazy science ideas like your's but we are not aloud to try them in chemistry or physics class. It is cool how you do your own science by just experimenting and watching what happens.
You should remove the oxide layer and see what happens.
