Frozen Mercury

[TheManWhoEatsDildos]

tell me why i watched this?



[vmelkon]

@TheManWhoEatsDildos It's not my fault.

[TheManWhoEatsDildos]

@vmelkon it's not your fault u can't tell me why i watched it?

[27HyperJosh49]

you got poked by the sharp part that you were holding it from? is that why you said oww?

[TheNilvarg]

Is that a switch from a thermostat?

[vmelkon]

yup

[ttrboi125le]

haha i got my mercury from a thermostate 2

[MissZeldaOfHyrule]

why is mercury red in the thermometer but gray outside thermometer??

[vmelkon]

The red stuff is probably glycerine or some other oily liquid. The color is because of some additive. There are also blue colored versions, which I have at home.

[mdma4life]

@vmelkon

Its just alcohol (with a red dye in it)

[OnlineSkill]

When you find out. Please tell me, P.S im a super zelda fan ;)

[mattGUNZ911]

then it isnt a mercury thermometer its an alcohol thermometer, in some schools for example mercury thermometers are forbidden because of its toxicity

[jedixo]

new thermometer's dont contain mercury, thats the red liquid thermometers.

[siriusblack9999]

because what's in modern thermometers isn't mercury, it's probably an alcohol thermometer, with some colorant

[drakio99]

Liquid mercury bullets :D even if you don't kill the guy the toxins will

[AwwYouFucker]

Wrong, mercury cant kill you that way, it just makes you go mad, its not acctually fatal.

[Paradox244]

It depends on the compound. Some compounds of mercury are toxic enough that a single drop touching your skin can kill you.

[zavatone]

Only if it is absorbed directly into your skin. Possibly mercuric chloride or mercuric bichloride or HgCl2. Stay away from that stuff. Also, check out Minimata poisoning. Mercury poisoning from people who ate way too much tuna fish. Tuna and other top predators collect the heavy metal toxins from all the critters they eat, becoming laden with poison badness.

[nbaietti]

well regular lead is toxic too... = )

[101tk101]

LMFAO goo job go ahead and touch the dry ice with your hand....although im not sure if it is dry ice, cos it would be melting/evaporating

[vmelkon]

It's not dry ice. That's styrofoam.

[101tk101]

well, there is a hole in the styrofoam, and he poared something in it...you can see a layre of something, and then when he touches it by accident, its really cooled and "burnes" him

[REDxFROG]

@vmelkon OUCH! Styrofoam it hurts!

lol :D

[darken27]

Yeah, and dry ice wouldn't give you that kind of reaction. You have to leave your finger on it for a second to get the burn.

I've licked dry ice before, and I was fine. XD

[101tk101]

well i dont know what it is, but its super cold, cant you hear him at the end, he touches it by accident and says ouch

[TheWelcomeChange]

It's liquid propane

[101tk101]

cool, i want some, just to freese random stuff

[pyromancer91]

If you want to freeze random stuff, get some liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen rox xD

[pwnzorz2]

LOL

liquid nitrogen is ftw

[SEANSINOCRUZ]

how the hell did you freeze mucury

[loperspest]

Simple, the same way you freeze water, or freeze iron, you get it to the right temperature. Of course on earth, irons freezing point is above everyday temperatures, but it is the same principle. In fact, the only material I know of that *doesn't* freeze if you get it cold enough at atmospheric pressure is helium.

[InsideTheMirror]

We should put Mercury in hollow point bullets and start taking people out with our soldiers.

[tonythesatan]

where do you get it from?

[vmelkon]

From an old thermostat. They still sell these types of thermostats in hardware stores.

[Roxiogan]

cool

[leviran]

wow great vid in whick material was frozen

[vmelkon]

You mean the white box? That is styrofoam. It's not such a great to use styrofoam because the propane deformed it.

[vmelkon]

It is. Notice in the beginning it was stuck to the bottom. Temperature should be about -40 C to 45. Melting point of Hg is about -38.5 C
