Molten Aluminum vs. 𝘛 𝘏 𝘌 𝘊 𝘜 𝘉 𝘌

oh hey guys backyard scientist here today we're going to be doing some cool experiments in my parents backyard that's right we're kicking it old-school and that means some molten aluminum so we've got these cool glass shapes here and what we're gonna be doing is pouring molten aluminum on some and then heating some up in a kiln and dunking it in water really fast so heating them up really fast cooling them down really fast and we're gonna see what happens I think it's gonna look pretty cool also a portion of this video sponsored by LastPass and they're not paying me to stand around and look pretty so let's get started yes second time so in the foundry we're going to be melting some aluminum to pour on these cubes here now I really like this glass sphere so I want to do something special for it unfortunately we're going to have to break it as well but isn't that cool can you see me through it yep you're upside down ah anyway I'm gonna be taking the glass sphere and putting it over here in the kiln and we're gonna very slowly increase the temperature of the glass sphere so it doesn't crack and it's probably gonna take all day but when we take it out it should be glowing red hot and then we're going to put it in the fish tank full of water and see what happens I think it'll be pretty cool I just hope it doesn't break well it's heating up and I also hope that it doesn't melt for our first test a giant glass cube let's see how it reacts to molten aluminum alright here we go three two one I'm wearing glasses because I'm worried what if this cracks oh wow oh man I didn't think I thought it would totally correct but it hasn't cracked yet oh I'm gonna back up just in case I thought it would crack didn't you oh look it just cracked I just saw I crap it held up a lot better than I thought it would have so now what I'm gonna do drop this piece right into the whole crucible of molten aluminum I bet it will shatter a lot more spectacularly than this little bit right there here we go I gotta go back this is scary I don't like this one that worked holy cow that exploded so hard it spilled all of our aluminum and broke our crucible Wow okay so should we get the hose maybe tied up sorry about selling setting the yard on fire alright so we've still got a couple of cubes left so while we're waiting for the giant sphere to heat up we're just gonna pour some aluminum on them and see what happens oh man are they gonna break I'm a simple man I see shiny glass cubes and I pour molten aluminum on them I mean really honestly I just like the way that molten aluminum looks in slow motion but you guys have probably figured that out by now that's pretty cool Hey look all those patterns you can see the square one yeah while the big glass ball was still heating up in the kiln I decided to bust out the smaller one and of course forceable thin aluminum onto it it looked super bright orange and that's because the cloud started rolling in and despite what the conspiracy theorists say molten aluminum definitely does glow orange and hold on guys I'm getting a reading right now from this crystal ball it's telling me you will like this video and ring the bell alright anyway the molten aluminum was way over Heat I left it in the Forge for way too long and that's why it's glowing that awesome orange color it also seems way more fluid than normal all right so we're gonna give this like one more minute to heat up and fill up the fish tank so we got to get this ready cuz this thing is about to just melt onto the floor so well this is going let me take the time to tell you about LastPass alright guys so this part of the video is sponsored by LastPass LastPass relieves the burden of having to remember passwords stop getting locked out of your account and

video I guess now we are going to be dropping a giant ball of glass into this fish tank let's try it [Music] [Music] it's bubbling but there's no bubbles going anywhere that's crazy with the heat coming off of it that's so cool the surface it's like vibrating well that's cool you're right it's cuz that bubble that bubbles just been going forever so this thing's still it's got to be still so hot on the inside oh how it is still so hot on the inside should I try to break it in half do it oh man ah that's pretty cool well now that we've got all this broken glass I wonder what we can do with this so I thought it would be cool if we fill the crucible with all this broken glass back broken glass half molten aluminum stir it up and see what we can get out of them the glasses definitely started to liquefy so now let's add some more aluminum to it and some more glass until it's totally full and see if we can make some kind of crazy concoction out of it I think everything in here is completely melted so now let's take a look inside oh wow that's hot looks like the top of there oh wow yeah it does let me take it out so let's take a look at this stuff and see what it's like woah oh that's cool should we get some out and see what happens when it dries or when it cools Wow look at this it's like a slug of molten metal and glass that's cool you should name it I'll name it Gary I can see the red glowing it looks like an evil face browning at me wow look at that it's like stringy glass and metal so while this melted glass and aluminum gave me an idea and it's time for round two against the cube this glass is looking pretty melted to me what do you think we should pour it on a cube now I think it's ready I think it's definitely ready now we're pouring a mixture of molten glass and aluminum on the cube look at that that's like a cheese pizza from heck I would stay monetized huh yeah let's see if I can even pour this out what do you think oh is it going it's going oh yeah baby oh oh is it going oh yeah baby oh all right now I'm gonna back up a little bit that is so cool did you see how this came out and then all the bowls and stuff was just like yeah oh wow that was so cool well that is pretty cool but all of this is pretty cool I was really curious what would happen if you mixed a glass and aluminum together and how they reacted with each other and what you could do with it but we get we ended up getting some cool specimens we got this cube that Harry Potter's sorting at cube then we've got this thing that's a mixture of like pretty much half and half glass in aluminum it just looks super cool close up looks like a supervillains a layer out of magma we also have the two cubes that only get cracked where we poured molten aluminum over it which looks pretty cool and of course we have the broken crucible rest in peace as my little buddy what I want to see is what the inside of this glass sphere looks like so let's open this up and see the glass sphere was probably one of my favorites and it was super satisfying to peel it open it was like opening a metallic and glass orange and it all came off at once so it was double satisfying anyway I think it looks really cool at all the circular patterns in there well guys there you go I think we got some pretty cool stuff in this video hope you enjoyed it see you next time bye

No it doesn’t.
