Gallium Induced Structural Failure of a Coke Can

[MultiDevilsrejects]

that shit crumbles as easy as your mom

[iMSoHigh420ritenow]

will this get me high??

[newfiegeo]

Thats fantastic! I was working on a mineral explortation program this summer where one of the most notable things was the Gallium mineralization of the area. Nice to see it in action.

Also, the diffusion rate is spectacular, I would have thought it would only effect the immediate area it was contacting.

[rich1051414]

Gallium is the coolest of all the metals :)

[SeanEatWorld]

@rich1051414 Bismuth would like a word with you.

[lookagain77]

Next Episode: How to make a thermonuclear explosive device out of bubble gum and paper clips.

[MrLewooz]

give the link for poison as well and be surprised that tragedies happens...

[vlogscience]

@MrLewooz There are plenty of poisons in your home, if you want some just read the labels.

[MrLewooz]

@vlogscience you're totally right! I agree but pushing people to repeat without contol Experiences like those will and are damageable not only to an inexperienced person (generally a youngster that will try because "it's cool") but to the underground water reserve... inducing pollution ( like amazon tribes that were using Mercury to dissolve gold and screwing up by themselves from it's pollution) come on!!!!!Gallium is no Lego bricks...

[Sara3346]

You keep teaching me how to make explosives!

[sSx2o]

I like this part of Youtube :)

[HeaanLasai]

What would this do to a filled (pressurized) can? Some beverages, like Guinness beer have an additional container inside filled with more co2. According to some it's to allow more co2 to be stored (high pressure gas inside plastic ball, when can is opened ball cracks and releases gas) while others say it's there to increase foam production since it releases gas in a different way. would be interesting to see test though.

Ps. these cans are usually weakest on the sides. Top and bottom strongest.

[zoebiflap]

!!SCIENCE!!

[xcamshotx]

it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again

[leavened]

How much Galium to eat through prison bars? (just curious)

[MinoritiesRlazy]

@leavened prison bars aint made of aluminum

[JimiPain]

@MinoritiesRlazy If at all they are made of aluminium.

[kikin12v1]

Deep voice.

[thebinbabys]

so if we start placing dobs of melted gallium on planes..

[almcken]

household hacker?

[shanadono]

This is so weird! I can't believe the gallium can spread throughout the aluminum. Wow!

[Layiloe]

why r u wearing gloves? is it dangerous to have within contact of skin?

[WATObear]

So.... if i put this on the back of an ipod?

[fecesbomb]

why disguise voice? jajaja



[Gallandour]

NANOMITES

[wace423]

"Now I know what you are thinking, what if I use a full can?"

No... I was thinking more like: "what if I use it on my little brother's secret safe".

[JeffBlazer74]

It's a T1000 with the acid blood of Aliens.

[thesumo24]

Oops, I think I dropped some gallium on my right speaker.

[SecondHandSuit]

So uhh, will this work on chastity belts?



[justmks]

I wonder if I can bring 100ml of gallium onto an aircraft?

[Umotokorriken]

@justmks not likely...

[tavitjjj]

now I know how to impress my girlfriend

[azzy314159]

So, what is the big deal here?

[jhonnymock]

Coupons..nice!!!

[gavincurtis]

So you are saying that Gallium is not a good de-icing agent for airplanes?

[deltabord]

I think im going on a trip to the Airport. . . MOAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!

[820423]

Im working from a 6 meter aluminium scaffold on wheels, at work... I did not need to know this shit. Im afraid of heights as it is.

[820423]

@820423 Well, 4,2 meters really. Im not part of the scaffold, myself.

[hughJ25]

He should poured a few drops of water onto the can, oh well.

[gocountry1391]

i tried at home last year and it works!!!

[h0354y]

so will this work with any metal??

[audraius]

times are hard, the guy from SAW is working low budget science clips.

[voicemailradio]

if steven hawking and barry white had a baby it would sound like this

[mafiamanj15]

My cousin had a small amount of gallium and wanted to mess with it, he ended up spilling it all over the floor of his kitchen, and it was not easy to get off :\

[Quiksilverien]

1:47 Climax

[Binhmogas80]

What is it?

[Humanbeing401]

this video made me realise something... my right speaker is plugged into the left jack

[lithiumwarhead]

@Humanbeing401 ha ha

[Oldbmwr100rs]

Mercury can do something similar with aluminum as well, Airlines don't like the stuff to be carried on their planes for this reason,I guess liquid Gallium would also be very unwelcome!

[Blarce]

SCIENCE!

[BlackManSlim562]

Use your regular frickin voice...

[Jdawg0529]

@BlackManSlim562 Some people are really insecure, and are afraid of being called a 10 year old...

[huntikperson11]

Lolololololololololololol really dude? Put it on ur own car

[MrMynameisalex]

lol put this stuff on a persons car you hate

[nattan920]

was it just me or did this audio on this video not play as expected?

[SuperMinecrafter37]

@nattan920 their was ananotation saying that the right chanel was missing

[FvckTheJakes]

mmm i want coke

[ChrisD4335]

what the rubber gloves for I thought gallium is non toxic

[wwwINNASERBIAcom]

My left ear is fucked up.

[BlackThunder4051]

and we wonder how terrorists get their information, lol

[usfenderfsdlx]

So can I eat this stuff?

[trfinck]

I smell a prank coming on...

[22sammuel]

cm se llama liquido ?/

[ordinaryproductions1]

i cant get this to work someone please help

[wtfzweb]

nano mights!!!!

[sentientagent]

I'm gonna build my robots out of silicone now.

[ihatestupidpeople264]

Ohhhhh......  Me Gusta!

[syed84]

i like it very much

[GerrettJihad]

If a terrorist was smart like me they would throw gALLIUM AND ELEMANTAL MERCURY ONTO ARIPLANES TO MAKE THEM CRASH, THEY BOTH HATE aLUMINUM.

[redcapedjoker]

@GerrettJihad it was our own government that caused the planes to crash so they could start the war with Iraq, as well as pass several unconstitutional laws like the Patriot Act allowing them on imprison and spy on any person they see fit. Bush is also a CEO of a major oil company, as the oil prices sky rocketed after the attack he made billions. The truth will never be silenced.

[GerrettJihad]

@redcapedjoker ok!

[GerrettJihad]

@redcapedjoker I am canadian so its not our own Government its yours.

[ayie4321]

awwsome finger strength...wonder what else u can do with it..

[ARIDEA24]

τι μαλακια ειναι αυτη?

[Wolfox360]

It cames from Gallium store in a nice and safe Aluminum Box!!!

I already see in the future a episode of C.S.I. with this stuff!!!

[Madness832]

Was the tape on the wrong speed?

[TheSaltyMeatBoy]

That nurd rage quits in this video 2:12

[itssuperninja]

dude i wish i had your vocabulary:3

[VauTELite]

play 0:03 over and over again when u hear can its sounds like arnald

[OoQU1CKS1LV3RXoO]

now i want a coke

[firestormmike07]

I liked this video but Ihave no idea why.

[bobbybob3680]

dude how big are this guy's balls

[freedomboy54]

now lets go shopping lol

[9180nathan1]

LOLOLOLOL Robots are soo fucked

[im18iswear1000]

@9180nathan1 no they would just have to use something besides aluminum

[Yosefu93]

@9180nathan1 yeah cos robots are made from aluminum cans..

[RdMrcr]

@9180nathan1 Robots aren't made from cheap aluminium.

[IcyHotRobot]

I must have my headphones on wrong, I can only hear out of my right ear.

[Myaccountbastards]

I going to find a car with an aluminium frame! MUHAHAHAHA

[narekzo]

i cant hear anything

[AlexanderStore]

Question. How do you get back your "nottocheap" gallium?

[Cessie983]

i think my right ear is def

[TheKingOfJordan1]

Imagine getting a metric ton of that stuff and spraying it all over a dam, or a building. Boom, insta-demolition! (If, of course, the gallium works on concrete)

[Mussbus1]

@TheKingOfJordan1 lmao. Go to school.

[TomA475]

@nerdobrot

Probably Francium, though only a few atoms have ever been detected and it would have a half life of a few seconds, but if you added it to water it would cause a rather large explosion.

[nerdobrot]

@TomA475 hmm ok thanks alot for the information. apreciated

[nerdobrot]

what is the most explosive chemical or element known?

[jjpb93]

I'm watching a video called 'gallium induced structural failure of a coke can' voiced by jigsaw from the Saw movies .. fuck my life ):

[noah279878582]

my left ear bud is broken D:

[theoriginalbillholt]

Very nifty, but you're probably on a terrorist watch-list now. 

[MARIOFREAK821]

DOES IT WORK WITH A PEPSI CAN?

[TheVampireLoverz]

Can i have that soda now?

[1337BananaL33TVostok]

right ear=*forever alone face*

[8000maya]

RARE METALS:: Dont use rare metals like Gallium or Li or Neodymium etc etc, if used try to recycle them for reclamation.

They are used for advanced or exotic purposes in 20-30 years from now like 'ANTS' = Advanced Nano Technical Surgery, Inter-dimensional communicating antennaes etc etc

In few years time even iron and copper will be rare.

An entire STAR LIFE CYCLE or Star energy explosion is required to make these atoms, so preserve them.....

[TheMightyZwom]

@8000maya

You are right in one point: They could get lost in the environment. But I don't know, what your other point is supposed to mean. What do you mean with "Alchemy". To convert one element into enother is not a chemical process. You will need some sort of nuclear reactor for that. And I nerver heard, that anyone uses one to convert rare metals into other elements... That would be completely stupid...

[8000maya]

@TheMightyZwom

high energies are not required to convert elements to other

[knightoflambda]

@8000maya All that fancy technology won't be any use since the world is ending in a couple months. In the meantime, I'm going to have fun with coke cans and gallium.

[8000maya]

@knightoflambda

according to some Astral beings the world is evolving not ending

[ducoducere]

for some reason it didnt work for me. I used gallium but with a tiny bit of water. I DID in fact make the scratches. Still didnt work. Even left it over night and still nothing.

[fgon73]

same happens when using mercury, thats why is not allowed near airplanes

[iCasting]

I don't get the top comments ..

[ryansnider]

"hard aluminum"

oxymoron

[TrueNorthNorway1970]

How toxic is Gallium?

[C4stB0und]

@AxiomAnarcho The guy below me is right......and its spelled "ingest"

[AxiomAnarcho]

@C4stB0und its called a "gallium 67 scan"

[AxiomAnarcho]

its not dangerous to injest gallium they use it in radioactive scans which they inject gallium into your veins luckily it breaks up in your system

[XHyperxNovaX]

@AxiomAnarcho They never inject anything into you for scans...

[OneADayFoody]

I enjoyed this video.

[LifeIsJustARide85]

you just got subbed my friend. Great videos. The voice needs some tweeking maybe. Sounds a bit scary. :)

Best regards from DK

[Jdogdrums7]

all of the good ads are the ones you can skip...

[ZpeczerN]

The dislike bar is like lady gagas penis! U know it's there, but u cant see it!

[aross001]

I didn't know the guy from Delocated was a chemist...

[MrHungwell]

Brilliant! This explains how the twin towers collapsed! During construction the steel beams were secretly replaced by aluminum beams to save money, and the planes were carrying drums of Gallium in their cargo hold! And to think the FBI missed this! Hmmmm... doesn't explain bldg 7 though, no airplane hit it, but it dropped at free fall speed too...

[monkeyman11111000]

Well, gallium is non toxic, so you can freak people out by melting it in your mouth

[filipljevar1]

@monkeyman11111000 and they are going to think that this is mercury...

[jet528559]

wasted a perfectly un-opened coke...

[Termini33]

Yeah, my left ear enjoyed this.

[TheJuli1241]

@Termini33 lol mine too

[Cody6210]

@TheJuli1241 same here lol

[itsGdublan]

did i just get raped?

[timpos546]

Greetings and welcome to earth :)

[doomzdayreaper]

I've been watching your videos for a few years now and you inspired me to get very serious about Chemistry and Physics, I would like to know more information about the labs you work in and stuff like that so i know how much work is untitled to becoming a chemist such as yourself. one other question before I go, are you a female? because your voice being masked and some other videos lead me to believe that you may be.

[Oshyrath]

Now, I know how to get rid of that aluminum structure outside my house.

[BrickChickens]

Oh my gosh you're that guy that does the pranks on your roommate. Traker or something?

[JJStuffEngineering]

wow a friggin METAL PARASITE!

[DashTheWonderbolt]

How the hell do I always end here?! About 5 clicks ago I was watching a marble run!

[TheSolitaryTraveller]

I know mercury was used by spies in ww2 on airplanes, but what about gallium was since it would seem used on an airplane would cause it to just ripped itself to pieces.

[feebix]

Oh now that VERY interesting!! Thanks :)

[TheDylancortes]

OMG es re brijidoooo

[Denathorn]

Did you work on Sesame Street?

[evrekoa]

What's up with the voice dude?

[Superabound2]

sooooo....what would happen if you put gallium in someones gas tank? would it destroy the aluminum once it reached the engine block, or would it be too diffused throughout the gasoline to do any damage?

[eggshi]

this is not a failure of a coke can. not one just has that laying around

[TheCrafterOfTheMine]

Oh my god he is the hulk, the gloves, the face voice, and the can.

[mdrparlez]

my right ear is lonely.

[Roxervids]

@mdrparlez Thank you. your comment single handedly made me realize my speakers were switched.

[eatmeaters]

Now drink the Coke!

[Gollsodia]

get some in your eye?

[BloodHarvest21]

"If you've messed with cans before you can tell this is not how a can normally behaves." my favorite line haha

[El3m3ntalDragon]

is this your real voice?

[636Castle]

That was so cool. 

[ObviouslyHutch]

My left ear loved this videos audio.

[kintar90]

The Gallium isn't diffusing into the Aluminum. Capillary action is "sucking" it between the grain boundaries of the aluminum, which weakens the aluminum. Gallium is also poisonous, so I wouldn't recommend trying this at home.

[Anthonyk312]

@kintar90 isn't capilary action a type of diffusion. Technically any spreading action of one substance into another is diffusion.

[kintar90]

@Anthonyk312

Capillary action is not diffusion. No gallium atoms are making their way into the aluminum lattice. The gallium is simply wetting the Al grain boundaries due to low surface energy at the Al/Ga interface. This experiment would not work for a single crystal of Al.

[mynameismatt2010]

Do you have anything that weakens the structural integrity of steel?

Not tryna rob a bank or anything, just curious. o.O

[kintar90]

@mynameismatt2010

Thermite would do the trick ;)

[SlimySnail44]

How does the gallium spread around inside the aluminum?

[Anthonyk312]

@SlimySnail44 the same way tea spreads in hot water.

[SlimySnail44]

@Anthonyk312 But..... hot water is a liquid... aluminum isn't. :(

[Anthonyk312]

@SlimySnail44 Gallium has an extremely low melting pressure. It is a solid at room temperature, but the heat of your hand is hot enough to melt it. So, from the gallium's point of view, the room-temperature aluminum can might as well be boiling water.

[SlimySnail44]

@Anthonyk312 I guess that sorta makes sense. I'm pretty stupid though... but thanks for trying.

[dogprod89]

i know how can i destroyed my bank now ...lol

[gubbazukka]

This could be used in intimidation by crushing a can and ripping it in half.

[EyMeng]

time to shake up some soda cans and apply gallium liberally

[TheCommenter7]

and.. whoa!

[Freksy]

I have never even heard of this stuff... but somehow I found myself on this page, and I have been rather tantilised by science once more.

[jjlwis]

that can't be good for you...

[Zargogo]

SOMEONE MUST TAKE GALLIUM TO JAIL NOW!!!!!!
