I really appreciate seeing Grant’s picture in the background!
I was just thinking that!
What happened to him?

Thank you for putting Grant's picture on the wall
Why is there a clown emoji
Right I was upset to see it go
Shred72 what??
Yea.
The videos which didn't had Grant's pic were shot before his demise, Nate said that earlier.
"Where did the sea shell go?"
Vinegar: "reduced to atoms"
Vinegar: Destroy the Shell
But sire no one will underata-
Vinegar: Just do it!

Nice lol😂😂
I used the shells to dissolve the shells
I'm guessing this is and endgame reference so if it is I watched endgame for the 7th time today

Hey guys you can carve seashells with acid. Paint a design on a shell and dump it in muriatic acid, I hope you see this. This is what me and my late father used to do during our freetime.
Can you explain this further I want to try this
@@gothicanimegirl44 you take a large seashell that has a wide area to work on.
Like on the side of cowries, Bivalaves and similar. As long as it has a relatively wide surface to work on. Then using a paint brush, Paint your desired design on the shell's surface. The color of your paint doesn't matter since your going to take it off afterwards. Then let it dry. After that put some Muriatic acid on a bowl of some sort (we used to put it in a coconut shell) and dip the face of the shell where you had the design and let it bubble for a few seconds depending on the thickness of the shell you used. The acid will melt the shell with direct contact on it and the paint will protect the surface it was applied to, creating a embossed effect.
Nìght Röád sorry about your father he is always with you
@@cristinamoore720 Thank you very much Christina, I have accepted that Life will always lead to death. Like sunrise and sunset. But no matter what happens, one must move on and leave the night and live on for dawn...

I wonder what would happen if you were to cut a glow stick open and freeze dry the liquid, that turn it into a powder and maybe mix it Into slime or something and see if it still glows
Cool idea, I hope they see this

Mejbi Show the rest of the group isn’t
Fun fact: As a child, I once was messing with a glow stick and it snapped and the liquid got all over but I thought it was just the glow of it cause it was a dark room. I ended up *eating* some of it and my mom *FREAKED OUT.*

Video: Dissolves all the calcium!
Me: The whole structure is calcium carbonate! The whole shell would be gone!
TKOR: Dissolves the entire shell.
Me: Thank you!
What kind of weirds me out is that people were even questioning if turning a shell (calcium) to some sort of glass (silica) substance by dipping it in acid was even possible. What happened to chemistry and science class?
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually in a non linear, non subjective viewpoint, it’s more of a big ball of Wibbly wobbly, timey whimey stuff

You can make "Mother of pearl" shells with the right shells and vinegar. Very shiny and pretty.
What type of shells?
@@shaunyjimenez9637 when you look on the inside or a scratched part of the shell they look very shiny and colourful, pearl like.
@@carlschwarz4935 oh thanks
Thank you for this information.
Cool! I’m gonna try that
Why sulfuric acid was different: When an acid reacts with calcium carbonate, the anion of the acid replaces the carbonate anion. So calcium carbonate becomes calcium sulfate. And calcium sulfate is not very soluble, so it stays in place and forms a barrier to further reaction. The other resultants: calcium nitrate, calcium chloride, and calcium acetate are much more soluble, so the reaction will continue.
Their sulfuric acid was also weak (0.1 molar), so the reaction would be slow anyways.
With more concentrated acid, they would likely see a faster reaction, but what you said is true : the calcium sulfate forms a barrier, preventing further reaction.
Yay, acid trip!
wait.
* Ba-dum-tssss *
Nope 🐍🐍🐍
Daniel ive seen u three times now!
Hey what's up Daniel
I don't get it?
By heating up the shells, you guys made part of ancient concrete.
Yeah, they called roman concrete.
I think it would be cool if they made the rest of it too
the other ingredient is volcanic ash, or the modern equivalent fly ash
Dr stone 😆
@@breakingthephysics its called slaiked lime or lime mortar
Watching them just plunk shells in to open cylinders of acid made me quite nervous especially with the utter lack of eye protection
I’ve watched them so much I don’t think any thing can surprise or scare me anymore
Eye protection in the hair and short sleeved shirts, this is not how you handle concentrated acids.
I'm glad you said this!!!!
0:55 To me, that pretty clearly looks like a piece of clear resin cast from the shell they dropped in the vinegar. It does not look hollow like a shell would be.
That viral video looks like it was made by 5-min craft

I've just seen Grant on the wall and almost burst into tears. It's incredibly sweet that you've honored him like that
So this is a video with Grants photo in the background again...
They basically were 19 Videos ahead of time
Which was to be expected in a high production.
@@MacDonnellFTAA I was hoping all of those videos were filmed ahead of time, and that they were able to take a break to grieve
Nate said in the first video after he passed (Rest in peace) that some videos coming up would be from before he passes.
Guys, you should NEVER put your face over an open container of a strong acid that is reacting with something.
Exactly. Strong, poisonous fumes could be forming. Acid could also splash up into their face.
Thing they put goggles on their eyes...hopefully and a face mask and just talking over the footage
They already have so many cancers though
@@candypaint6919 , hopefully so. Especially with the nitric acid. It forms a few different gases that could poison a person very quickly. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is the one I would worry about the most. When inhaled it forms nitric acid in the lungs. Even nitrogen oxide (NO) eventually forms nitrogen dioxide.
Yeah man
Awwww, Grant's pictures is on the wall, very heartwarming♥️
I love these videos, also love how the camera person made sure that Grants photo was in as many shots as possible ❤️
Me: I hope they're wearing eye protection...
Camera: [pans up]
Hosts: [not wearing eye protecton]
For anyone who watches 5 minutes crafts. Just a PSA. They Lie.
Yep. It's amazing people will just believe whatever they see on the internet...
not just them, any viral video generator like blossom, and so yummy. they dont care if what they make is actually possible. they only do it for the clicks
They should be banned
Anyone know the name of the video?
Aarow37 oh, you dident have to comment that.
I already knew.
"And we're going to put some on our forge to see what happens..."
Me: "I've seen Primitive Technology, I know you get lime."
11:43 I don’t EVER want to hear the phrase “Maybe we didn’t have our furnace hot enough”
Kevin Petersen why?
• VIDEO IDEA •
You guys should do different experiments with eggs - crack a raw egg into liquid nitrogen and make the opposite of a poached egg. You should also freeze dry a raw egg and put both a raw and boiled egg in the vacuum chamber to see what happens!!
Rebekah Needham like so Nate and calli can see this
Seeing Grant’s picture and realizing that this was filmed after his death 😢
😧😨😰😭
I’ve been offline for an extremely long time how did he die exactly
How did he die?
@Gerald Nordahl paragliding accident. They have a video on it.
Sulfuric didn’t react as powerful because CaSO4 is insoluble, while CaCl2 is very soluble so it disulves it faster in hydrochloric
Elliana Policarpio for acids to eat away shells (CaCO3), they first react with them. the product of that reaction must be able to disulve into the acid or else it will cover the shell in something the acid can’t dissolve.
The hydrochloric acid(HCl) reacts with the shells to create water, calcium chloride and carbon dioxide. Calcium chloride, like sodium chloride is soluble and so disulves into the acid to expose more shell , the the same reaction with sulfuric acid happens except instead of the very soluble calcium chloride, it produces calcium sulfate(same thing plaster is made from), which will pile up on the shell because it is unable to disulve in the acid, protecting the shell
Elliana Policarpio did I explain it better?
@@beeblaine539 ... Does that mean that I can make plaster by crushing up sea shells (or egg shells, assuming you somehow have any meaningful amount of them), mixing them with sulfuric acid, then neutralizing the paste?
Beeblaine those words are to big
CaSO4 is only the the product after all of the first H+ is consumed, it would be forming Ca(HSO4)2 +H2O +CO2 at the start. there are a number of things that could be causing this but i can speak from experience that H2SO4 typically has no problem dissolving CaCO3
Did you use those freaking acids, without using a mask ?
Yeah. Masks are for the weak -_-
@@thatprettymuthafucka7267 yeah risking your health is for the weak amiright 😍😍
@@admiraltoxic In a well ventilated room, using that small amount of acid and shells, it really isn't any kind of risk.

5 min crafts: drinks the nitric acid
*Dies*
I really like how you guys genuinely try to do these crafts unlike other people who try them. You follow all the steps. 👍
Me in the beginning: ”Huh, if u put a seashell in water in water, it turns into glass?”
Also me: ”Wait, arent seashells normally in water too?”
If you paint the inside shiny area with a clear varnish and you dip it in acid you should be able to etch the rough outside layer and keep the nice shinny interior.
I wonder if they got their result by covering the shell with some type of lacquer or clear epoxy before dissolving the shell?
its clearly a store bought shell thats made of acrylic or smthing else.
These shells don't seem to be real. Maybe store bought.
I'm doing some necromancy on this, but, I wonder if they didn't coat the outside, but filled the INSIDE with it? That's the only way I can see it maintaining the depth, by letting the lacquer/epoxy fill the entire spiral.
Put clear nail polish and see if you can put it on a sea shell just like the egg shell.
Ree
I was just coming down in the comments to say this and you beat me lol
Best idea ever!
Soak eggs in vinegar until they are bloated and then deep fry them and put them in liquid nitrogen
Noone:
KillerGymSox:
What happens
I love the life hack debunking videos like these! You guys should try and do more
You have one ingredient to Roman brick ( the cooked seashells) can you make some Roman brick that would awesome
Daniel Deprez I agree they should make some, but I think it is called Roman concrete.
In january, you had a spraypaintvideo and you said you were gonna leave a pot of spraypaint dry for six months. Do you still have it?
@@NFTI you all rock there. Thank you for what you do. Also the shell that you called a scallop is a cockle clam.
@@NFTI dedication, i like it.
"Im not gonna put my hand in there" sticks hand in water
In the video, they look like they painted a glass shell and the vinegar striped the paint off.
but there was a cut tho, so i dont think they would have gone to the extra effort to paint a glass shell
Super heating shells changes the calcium carbonate to I think calcium oxide which can be used as a alternative form of cement similar to lime. It was used this way in some of the coastal areas of Australia, where you can still see the shell's in the walls.
funny that i never even questioned the shells in my primary school building walls 😂
Skeleton shell: "sheleton." 😎
Ha
Meh
tkor: wheres the seashell?
vinegar: gone, reduced to atoms
If you paint one side of the shell with epoxy or plastic "embedding" compound, you probably be left with a mock shell, clear, once the acid ate the she'll away.
You now here in India we put a Garland of flowers on the photos of our loved ones who die ..
Can you pls do the same for Grant's photo in the background pls pls pls 👑🙏🙏
I am so happy grants face is in the background.
Imagine if someone walked in and was like “Mm, oatmeal” 😂😂😂
I love the tribute to the King of random rest in peace
Nate: *Gets the acids that doesn’t do much*
Callie: *gets the two acids that dissolve the shells down to nothing*
Coincidence? I THINK NOT
Independent variable:
The type of acid.
Dependent variable:
The clarity of the seashells.
Controlled variable:
Volume of the acid.
Scientific methods
I don't understand how people can possibly believe these type of video's😂🤣😂 Nice video btw! Love you guys!

Ik nobody is probably reading the comments now that its 10 months old but these videos never get old haha
I love how you put grants picture on the wall as a tribute
Shells that open on the right are from gilled snails while shells that open from the left are lunged snails. Not really rarity, just different species.
It can happen in a same species too, it depends on the genetics of the mother of the snail.
Seeing Grant’s picture on the wall gave me goose bumps.
I once had a fish tank, a large one and for some time had trouble regulating pH, it tended to go acidic. That didn't go well for the apple snails I had in there.
Humans: We burry our dead.
TKOR: Seashells don't get a choice.
Me: Hmm?
Rescue Rabbit I suppose over time seashells "bury themselves" after eroding down into essentially sand particles.
Is it possible that they poured some epoxy into the shell beforehand then dissolved the shell in acid to leave the clear epoxy "cast"?
Looks like they 3d printed it on an sla printer to me
You should make syrup (like for pancakes) from trees
make sure is a maple tree
Sapp?
I don't think it gets cold enough where they are for it. You need a cold winter for the trees to store up sugars inside themselves then you harvest the sap in early spring when you're starting to get warm days but still have cold nights.
Source: I live on a 40 acre plot of maple trees in NY and make maple syrup.

You Should've Tried Aqua Regia (Hydrochloric Acid Mixed With Nitric Acid). Love Your Vids.
Calcium carbonate is already basic, so of course it wouldn't react with a stronger base.
Technically its neither because it is a salt so it is a strong base with a weak acid
@@ttvcharlie719 that makes it a weak base
Ale Pry
It’s not a salt 😂😂
Calcium is slighting acidic while carbonate is a pretty strong base
Also, they are only connected by covalent bonds, not ionic, so no salt here
@@brendenlim2158 it is salt, because salt is substance formed as effect of ionic reaction of anions and cations.
About basic/acidic characteristics of salts: Ions from weak electrolytes react with water to form another ions e.g. CO3 2- + H2O -> HCO3 - + OH -, so according to Levi's theory, if something absorbs H+, it's basic, and if it's gives H+, it's acidic
