Molten Aluminum on Clear Ice is CRAZY

It's nice hey guys I am Nate I'm here back at the dome, and I am Zach from the YouTube channel Jerry rigs everything We've got another fun experiment that we're gonna be trying out today We are going to melt down some aluminum until it's nice and molten hot and then we are going to pour it down Inside this block of clear ice what do you think's gonna happen? Well I know what I think is gonna happen I think the whole thing's gonna explode But either way hopefully we get a cool design out of the aluminum once. It's cooled down again I think the aluminum pouring into the block of ice might heat up the water so much that it expands and a steam just shreds The block apart, it's possible that there won't be enough power to break the block But instead it will shoot the aluminum out the top of the block and that would be pretty cool Or the aluminum might just settle inside the ice melting its way and cooling down at the same time and give us some strange Formation, I don't know which of those is gonna happen or something else entirely But let's find out so this right here is our pouring device by pulling the pink string. It causes this to tip and Once that's full of its molten aluminum that should pour down right into the ice We've got some aluminum cables that are wrapped up into bundles and these will be melted intrusive Three two one LAUGHTER That was amazing holy oh! (AND IT EXPLODED!!!!!!!!!) holy cow My gosh that was beautiful, haha MORE LAUGHTER Yes, I didn't think it was going to you because I saw it pouring in and I thought oh It's just gonna settle down inside there That's cool But it's not asked and right about I was thinking that's not as cool as if it exploded it exploded in a huge way look at this like the Explosion is probably what 10 feet out at least there's little ice at least Everywhere.That was cool That was obliterated Man That was as good as I could have possibly hoped for oh well my binder. Clip is like aluminum welded to our I Can't get it off (ICE SIZZLES ON HOT CRUCIBLE) Oh My gosh exactly what I wanted to have happen Seriously Man look at these shards Just shattered pieces It's like broken glass, too That's really what it looks like I'll give you take it like a coke bottle or something yeah And I think it's partly just because we're not used to seeing ice That's so cohesive like these clear blocks of ice They don't have the the brake lines that you would get if you had ice It's full of air bubbles and so just really seeing ice breaking this crystalline shapes is pretty different The outside of this cup so it poured in At that angle and then the the aluminum exploding just completely coated this Better coat at the bottom of this to a little bit Let that cool down and melt its way through a block at the same time That was amazing that was seriously one of the coolest effects. We've ever had happen on this show the explosion alone was That thing just shattered into a trillion tiny little pieces and sent shards of ice flying really hard I think we had some go almost 20 25 feet away, and it was loud Really really loud. It's like the initial as we were pouring it in. I was like oh alright. That's all it's gonna happen We're you know a little cube of aluminum that is all dry, but then BOOM So blood projects like this are always great And we've been doing so how long is the king of random it doing? It's been about seven years now Yeah, I started my youtube channel about six years ago and it's been great being able to turn my hobby into a career and Luckily the king of random and I grant Thompson And I have we're gonna get together with a bunch of other large youtubers and talk about how to form your hobbies on YouTube and online into a career It's a seminar called self-made and we'll leave a link in the video description Where you can sign up to come and listen to us? Whether it's online or in person and establish your business online? Hey guys.

This is just extremely poor quality content. 5 minutes for something that takes 30 secs and annoying shit tier commentary the rest of the time.
