  • A while ago, I messed up using my high speed camera and I lost the footage of a really cool shot. So, I decided to try and recreate it, but to actually save the video this time.
    Note: this video was filmed back in February.

      when he said that I was actually really weirded out to hear someone else than me saying that lol, never had before and I say it at least once a week when for example my boyfriend has a huge jerky movement after touching something moderately hot (he overreacts sometimes) and almost throws what he's holding on the table and I'm like "humans heal, our kitchen table we just got cannot"

      I don't see him wearing a filtered mask for the Alumina(?) dust, and 1/3rd through the video it seems obvious that the plexiglass isn't going to shield him when he pours it, they also haven't taped down the wires. He doesn't clean up the toxic dust before going to the next stage of the project, and he doesn't keep track of his materials like his gloves, leaving him to leave the active area and search for it, then he discards it to the floor.
      I mean, I haven't done any chemistry, but these all seem like, pretty obvious hazards and dangerous failings that are all reasonably easy to address? Like his lab methodology seens really bad :(

      @@aster_nova There's definitely a difference between the dust you see laying on the surface, which is big and kinda clumped together, and the dust that the fume hood collects. So when something (like wind or them accidentally touching) disturbs the dust on the surface it will give off tiny little dust particles into the air. (Compare it to the dust laying under your couch and the dust that comes out of the couch cushions if you hit it) Those will be sucked up by the fume hood without problems. The "bigger" dust won't and thats okay, because them breathing wouldn't pick it up either.
      But in general I'd like to note that he knows what he is doing. He wore the gloves, long sleeves and glasses. If he or his friends really saw a major hazard in what they're doing, they would have adressed it.

      They then disappeared and came back with some alligator clips attached to a light globe, a voltmeter, a battery pack, and some holding support that contained a small fan of sorts. Not sure if that’s all correct, but they were making a circuit that was capable of producing blinding photons of light, where they reached something like 16V and the fan-thing spun off and hit the board behind them, as this massive crack was heard from the light being produced.

    Great video! Pyrometallurgy is my favorite. I "grained" precious metals for a few years on a large scale and the constant explosions were hard to deal with. Our solution to calm it down a little bit was to get our water moving with pressure washers / high pressure inlet-outlet lines, and to have the water VERY cold. We played around with different alloy mixes as well, but didn't ever have any solid results. As far as why it happened to us, we assumed it had something to do with the copper content of the alloy, the amount of slag and impurities in our materials, and the Leidenfrost effect creating those steam pockets beneath the solidifying metal. We once poured a little too quickly and launched a stainless steel tank with 150 gallons of water well over a foot off the concrete!

    The crucibles you are currently using are good for silver, gold and aluminum. Copper likes to eat through the crucibles you are currently using. If you plan to melt any other metals like copper or iron you need to use graphite clay crucibles.
    You should constantly check on the copper because. The longer you leave it exposed to the high heat the higher chance you have all your metal oxidizing. You should use copper or aluminum instead of the tin. Because they're melting temperature is much higher than the tin’s.

    As a metalsmith/jeweler, next time just use the torch to melt the metal and toss in a bit of boric acid to combat oxidation, actually coat a small crucible with boric acid (pour in a little powder and melt it with the torch to make a glassy coating) then you can melt the metal with the torch but always add a bit of extra boric acid, and they make special stir rods for stirring the molten metal.
    Yes, the glass exploded due to thermal shock. It's not lab grade glassware and isn't heat safe.
    Always wear long heavy sleeves and preferably leather or thick suede (NOT MICROSUEDE) closed toe shoes when handling molten metal. Standard mesh athletic shoes will melt like butter under molten copper or brass and you don't want to lose a toe!

      Hello, engineer here with a minor in physical chemistry. The explosion is actually caused by the molten material initially creating a bed of superheated steam holding the water away, then when something triggers the steam pocket to collapse (usually a splash near the surface but also hitting the bottom) this causes a sudden unsheathing disrupting the organized flow of the molten material. Once it is turbulent more energy is then transfered to the water which spontaneously superheats and then explodes.
      Also, it's clear you don't have a clue about what you're talking about, the refraction index of a medium is the ratio of the speed of light when in vacuum to it's speed in that medium.

    Awesome video man! I think your completely right about the height and velocity making the difference. I believe that was definitely a proof of hypothesis. Only repeat experiments would solidify it.
    I think the velocity plays a key factor in when it explodes. When molten metal is submerged in water it vaporizes it instantly creating a chamber of water vapor around the molten metal. (Reference: leidenfrost effect)
    With the leidenfrost effect comes a pressure differential. When this pressure differential is contained...(by surrounding water) well then the pressure will continue to build until something gives. Water is incompressible so the molten metal implodes and breaks from a lump into crumbs that cool much faster and stop the leidenfrost effect, almost instantly, and then transferring all of the energy, built by pressure, back into the incompressable water only to meet the strength of the container it's in. This, of course, being the glass jar it was in.
    The energy has to go somewhere and you figured out how to time it just right to make it detonate at the bottom of the jar and blow it up.
    You ARE a mad scientist. Lol

    Other variables:
    How high you poured it from. Maybe pouring from higher gives it more velocity, allowing it to get the bottom faster. Maybe pouring from lower gives it less time to cool, allowing to remain hotter for longer (potentially maintaining the bubble for longer, before it cools enough to collapse, allowing water to touch the metal and explode).
    Maybe small differences in temperature make a big difference. Maybe higher heat maintains the bubble for longer, allowing it to get further down before exploding.
    Also, gold is denser than tin and has around half the specific heat (meaning it takes about twice as much thermal energy for gold to reach the same heat, ie., gold has much more thermal energy at the same temperature as tin), so maybe the gold worked better because it took longer to cool sufficiently for the bubble to collapse , which gave it more time to reach the bottom. (Also, when the water _does_ touch the gold, there's still significantly more energy to transfer, in theory producing a more violent result.)
    Those are my thoughts. Nice experiment and good video!
