Sulfur hexafluoride SF6

[Lighthammer18]

try breathing the gas :D

[Pac00123]

wahnsinn.

[TerenceHorsman]

its a supercritical fluid

[bobbj77]

Thanks for posting this, we have SF6 RMU,s at work

[aishy88]

Awesome!

[nickmt]

This looks very similalr to the supercritical liquid carbon dioxide. So this is sulphur hexaflouride instead. Are there any other videos related to this by periodic videos?

[xcheesyxbaconx]

@nickmt I think there is a video about sulfur hexafluoride but not about its supercritical liquid effects.

O.o

[tibby499]

i don`t even know what am i supposed to be looking here ...

[DevilMaster]

@tibby499 You're looking at a transparent container, half full of liquid sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The liquid is heated and starts boiling, but there is too much pressure to turn it completely into a gas, so instead it turns into a supercritical fluid, which can effuse through solids like a gas, but dissolve materials like a liquid. As it does this, the separation between liquid and solid just... fades away. And when the temperature decreases... KAWOOSH! It turns to liquid again in few seconds.

@DevilMaster separetion between each phases fade away... not just solid / liquid....

the fluid is not solid, not liquid, not gaz... it's just diffrent... lol

pure awesomeness though

[UncleKennybobs]

I like it.

[vmelkon]

very rare video

How do you suppose this experiment would react differently in a microgravity environment?

[AliasMe76]

Sulphur hexafluoride is one of my favourite chemicals.

Everyone should have at least ten favourite chemicals.

And this is one of mine.

[NoogLeader]

@AliasMe76 My favorite is Iron Oxide reacting with Aluminum.

Inbelievable,

Freaking amazing, all turned into gas, but it wasnt a normal gas, it was a super dense mixed gas, and then the thing as the temperature went down, the liquid that gaseified liquid that was mixed with the gas falled as "rain".

[watty444]

Its gravity

[Aviatorsmith]

@watty444 No it isn't.

[TheSprinklerSystem]

thats pretty cool

[dtoss]

His video is very interesting, but need the pressure and temperature data for each moment phase.

[frizspin175]

why is the circle irregularly shaped at 0:25?

[sagwaman]

the supercritical is beginning to cool down

and the liquid and gas are starting to

seperate again

[conneelyb]

because of refraction

[multished]

also the circle that we are looking through appears to be the outer ring, the inner white ring looks to be at the back.

[snoozetrash]

wow amazing stuff

@nottinghamscience lol just when i was about to ask a question. thxs
