Cannonball in mercury

[alsayed30]

this is just too much mercury

[7ReyZor]

Guys, elemental mercury doesn't give off toxic fumes, and I'm guessing that's what this is. Processed mercury used in factories and things is the stuff you don't wanna mess with.

[LynxEffectGaming]

How's he not dead?

[tallownage]

why the fuck is there a standing tub of mercury? that is my first question.

and my second question is why the hell does that guy not have on a fucking mask of some sorts, or even better why the hell is he even in the room

[boiledhead]

This same effect is what lighthouses depended on. the huge lamps inside the towers would sit on a bowel of mercury, in big storms sometimes it could become lodged and the mercury spill out, they would have to scoop it up with dustpan and brushes... filter it with a cloth and poor it back in. All this during an immense storm so as they could get the light spinning again and save lives... toxic fumes?? nobody gave a shit

[hahaha10001]

It's a fucking cannon ball floating on mercury.

[jpmorgan187]

what programme is this from?

[Vorlus]

this guy is standing next to a tub of mercury with no respiratory protection, natural selection prevails



[MNico1992]

doesnt mercury give off fumes? this guy doesnt seem safe

[JAydUBr6]

@MNico1992 /watch?v=JABbofwD3MI

[kurthewett]

and thats how, boys and girls, you get a serious mercury poisoning

[jma111000]

In my second life I will bath in this stuff. Anyways how the hell do you get that much fucking mercury. I mean holy shit!!

[kicsiqki]

Aren't mercury vapor supposed to be extremely dangerous or something?

[AlbertaNerd]

@kicsiqki I'm not certain, but unless it was very, very, hot, there wouldn't have been any "mercury vapor" to speak of. It is, as you can see, quite a dense element, and so not something easily given to evaporation without a lot of energy input.

[kicsiqki]

@AlbertaNerd

I just thought that since the mercury in the tub has a huge surface, it doesnt need to be that hot for significant amount to evaporate. Just like water doesnt need to be boiling hot to evaporate.

[evilscotsman25]

Damien Rice's lyricist right here.

[4l3XuS]

Water hack!

[Kylef7735]

Im fairly sure that if this british professor dude stands next to the molten mercury and then splashes it on himself, it isnt as dangerous as many people think.

[AlbertaNerd]

@Kylef7735 That mercury was not molten. Mercury is a liquid at room temperature.

[Kylef7735]

@AlbertaNerd If its fluid then it technically can be called molten, molten just means flowable basically, not that its hot or somthing to that effect.

[AlbertaNerd]

@Kylef7735 In the same sense that every liquid above absolute zero can be considered molten, you're right, but the word is never used that way, and you know it. Water is never spoken of as being "molten", likewise alcohol, liquid helium, or mercury. But if it's importent to you that you're "technically" right, then I concede.

[Enemyofreali7y]

Yeah, just go ahead and drop that bitch in there. Make a big ol' fun, cancer loving splash.

[hardgreenhorn]

...saw you at the first second, i thought you were Paul(PRS)..!! :))

[ShadowParanoya]

oh, i thought you said mercury as the planet mercury

[PistonHonda319]

And that splashed around mercury thats now on your skin, and those mercury fumes youre breathing in from standing next to that vat....yeah no problem...im sure youre good.

[beautyXxXdiamond]

love this... we watched it in maths :L

[NinjaOfTinFoil]

I thought he was gonna jump in it. :P

[caocoll10]

try anvils!

[Autoheal]

what the heeeeckkkk

[Energis1337]

Why was I born with these horrible defects, dad?

Well the world had to learn about mercury, and popular videos on youtube were all the rage about 10 years ago, little Billy.

[ghodith]

@Energis1337 except only the fumes are dangerous, and he is probably in a freezer of some kind.

[Andrewterrorist]

arent mercury fumes dangerous? And this guy's standing RIGHT INFRONT of a POOL of mercury??

[tornadexx]

@Andrewterrorist mercury evaporate in room temperature so hes probably is freezer of some kind

[PhilOneBEATS]

617woodlakestreet unicorn crips

[FrozenHaxor2]

Sniffin' mercury vapour all day, every day!

[cateattingmonster0]

interesting 

[Majoraspirit]

I want to go swim in it. 0_0

[antimatter07]

i thought mercury was a planet..

[bubblybabs]

In 2nd grade, our teacher brought in a cup of mercury and we all played with it... She put it away when someone spilled half of it onto the floor and we were all on our hands and knees picking up the neat little balls ... That was in the 70's... None of us got sick from it...

[dkddbs1008]

@bubblybabs

are you sure the merucury your teacher brought in is pure? Mercury is highly poisonous if it comes to contact with your skin.

[bubblybabs]

@dkddbs1008 How can you tell? I just remember her telling us it was mercury... It balled up just like mercury does... It felt neat rolling around in my hand, I remember it having weight to it, much more than water for sure...

[bubblybabs]

@bubblybabs Just watched a vid about "elemental mercury" - perhaps that's what she brought in? Don't know but must have been...

[TenaciousDougie]

Is this real life?

[Aislan4414]

I want to know what this mans health is today. Anyone know his name?

[ofnumbers]

From what I am aware Mercury has a major evaporation scale - That guy is gonna have a fucking stroke.

[Dillfaro]

@ofnumbers You need to listen to quieter music. You can hear the fan on in the background. The man has a convincing accent and a white coat. I am going to presume he is a professional of some description and knows full well of the hazards of Mercury.

[brainfarth]

Nice.. Splashing mercury.

[AndrosForever]

@brainfarth exactly what I was thinking... it would have been hilarious if he splashed himself all over his face with mercury

[kulpims]

er, you get mercury poisoning? :P nice video, btw

[ronaldli5]

DRINK IT!

[originalfizixx]

No shit....tell me something else I didn't know. This is like saying water makes you wet.

[academicroach]

the fumes are harmful right?

[MustardSmellingGuy]

The mercury fumes video said it was at room temperature. Now, I don't feel like doing the research, but I think maybe the mercury tank is keeping it cool, reducing the fumes...

[mliniman]

why is he not wearing a mask

[mikeandroe]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume this guy knew full well about the dangers of mercury vapors and precautions were taken. He's not some 13 year old dimwit in a basement. I don't think you house a vat of fucking mercury without knowing the dangers.

[Mattski08]

DOES ANYONE ELSE NOT HEAR THE FAN IN THE BACKGROUND VENTING THE AIR OUT?!

[mrxerosquared]

did anyone else see that video of the fumes that mercury gives off?

[ThatChubbyDude]

MEANWHILE IN THE CANCER HOSPITAL

[utsawin09]

probably just my paranoia, but i wouldnt just approach mercury with a pair of gloves..............

[SlothsILike]

@utsawin09

not just your paranoia... mercury under uv light: /watch?v=JABbofwD3MI

no clue what this guy is thinking.

[themunty]

Not sure I'd want to be there without some kind of breathing filter

[blametruthfan]

Isn't there a video showing the immense amount of toxic fumes even a little amount of mercury gives off? This guy is going to be poisoned pretty badly standing there.

[wishyoucouldbeme0405]

@blametruthfan I was just thinking that

[rumaniandude]

@blametruthfan And he throws it in that vat like its a rubber ducky. No splashes on me thanks!

[odiexx]

@blametruthfan Only industrial mercury gives off fumes. Natural mercury is ok.

[JAydUBr6]

@blametruthfan /watch?v=JABbofwD3MI

[supernovah]

@blametruthfan That video is bullshit...

[nrm981bt]

I WANT SOME!!!

[potasiu2]

This dude just splashed a cannonball in a vat of mercury. Your argument is invalid.

[CertifiedBad4ss]

Does this mean you could use it as a bed if it wasn't toxic?

Would feel awesome lying on a bed of liquid metal.

[flxcvz]

@CertifiedBad4ss i don't think so, even if it wasn't toxic you would swallow it and you wouldn't be able to breath when you're sleeping.

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@flxcvz I usually don't drink in my sleep, and why wouldn't I be able to breathe?

[flxcvz]

@CertifiedBad4ss nono, i think you got me wrong , i said that you would "swallow" it, it would enter in your mouth, and since you are sleeping we can say that you're not facing up every time, specially since that's liquid, then you wouldn't be able to brath.

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@flxcvz Oh yea, that true. Probably wouldnt be very healthy swallowing liquid metal in your sleep.

I think i was pretty tired when i posted that comment, your point was fairly obvious.

[flxcvz]

@CertifiedBad4ss haha, don't worry, Ive found myself on Youtube at 3:00am and on Monday with school starting at 7:30 xD.

[alejandromodel]

thumbs up if you saw the UV gas imaging :D

[ABSNproduction]

He's probably dead now.

lolol

[SilentEcho8]

@NMR32082 Thumbs up if fuck you

[MrHurricaneFloyd]

Imagine the amount of mercury vapor coming out of this vat, this dude must be dead by now.

[laboye]

@MrHurricaneFloyd ಠ_ಠ

[hahaureadmyname]

where the hell did he get a vat of mercury?

[vect0rwolf]

@hahaureadmyname PROTIP: He's a real scientist. Real scientists get to do whatever the hell they want as long as they follow the scientific method.

[alvinperlas]

aw man, im a bit tired and i read the Title as "Mercury Cannonball"

[alfredwinchesterjr]

wow thats dense

[snipesnrifles]

I want a giant pool of mercury

[MrGuitarZeppelin]

Whats with all the comments about unicorn blood?

[khaliddrb1]

@MrGuitarZeppelin Harry Potter... No ? ...

[MrFox1231]

@MrGuitarZeppelin first harry potter movie. Where a unicorn is slain and the colour of its blood is the same as mercury.

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@MrGuitarZeppelin i think its a harry potter reference.

[G20GAN]

no thermometers were harmed during the making of this video.....

[Gopdammit]

@G20GAN Only unicorns.

[bs09ags]

thanks to this i now know what unicorn's blood is!

[ExperimentalMine]

I thought he was going to cannonball into the mercury .-.

[funkypandadesigns]

so this is where all the unicorns went....

[oracle2world]

Whoa - some serious mercury here. You could dip your hands into and have some real fun.

Don't worry about the vapours - I don't think you could tell one way or another with this mad scientist.

[seemoretube]

I hope that he dies inhaling the vapours.

[2020hunt]

Can anyone provide the name of the documentary and who made it? I saw on another website that it is an Australian documentary. Thanks!

[SK8rforalmost27]

this guy sounds soo gay

[mlcoo17]

@SK8rforalmost27 He sounds British, you sound ignorant.

[Shaby18]

holy shit

[Jonemode]

I expected him to carefully place the cannonball in the mercury BUT NO his makes a huge splash and could have easily got some in his mouth/ eyes.. what a douche.

[shadecory]

thar's nice... but... will it blend?

[thehacksrule]

The vapors will kill you

[BatspindaVL]

I have my gloves on, imagine that i get cancer!

[TheLaughingMan0603]

@BatspindaVL haha i laugh at people that think mercury will burn your skin or something rofl, i handled it and played for minutes without skin protection, look, nothing happened.

[BatspindaVL]

@TheLaughingMan0603 The element itself will not burn to your skin, i never said that, it's the poisonous vapor that is dangerous.

[Freezinggreece2]

won't we all float in there?

[smileebeautiful]

@Freezinggreece2 we float in water too

[adamben86]

Did anybody stop and think that maybe mercury is how the Egyptians did all the things we can't explain. I mean it's existence had been known for 12000 years and used regularly for many things.

[ForeverFrost92]

@adamben86 Please don't reproduce

[adamben86]

Did

[coolfool182]

ohhhhhhh...from the name of the vid i thought someone did a cannonball dive into a pool of it

[dipsaucerose]

um.....isn't that REALLY bad for that guy's health?

am i the only one thinking this?!

[smileebeautiful]

@dipsaucerose relax it's only deadly when he's touching it

[Xitrax]

I wanna go jump in a suit of armor and see if I can float in mercury :D

[LegendzModZ]

so can i take a bath in it and not sink

[LeeLeeLee360]

@Bomberzone1745 yup im 100 % insane *bangs head on desk repeatedly*

[AhmedFromKSA]

can you stand on it ?

[deadlyeagle85]

im just waiting for someone to say did omg-facts send you here

[caldevera]

@deadlyeagle85 hehehehehe. nice one.

[mclovin5411]

Yes, but will it blend?

[DuhitsNancy]

the cannon ball is not even wet.

[woaini4evr]

@DuhitsNancy it's mercury, not water~

[zamderc]

any1 wants to bath in that tub?

[idioticscheme666]

But what happens if you drop a person in a tub of mercury?

[onemancomedy]

@idioticscheme666

They'd probably die seeing how mercury is extremely poisonous

[idioticscheme666]

@onemancomedy But how would they look like?

[EqualAndFree]

@idioticscheme666 They would float on top of it and only sink in about an inch.

[idioticscheme666]

@EqualAndFree That's so awesome!

[Nikolay0]

Giggity?

[888Zealot]

when i swim in that i wont have to worry about drowning and getting wet

[LeeLeeLee360]

like if OMG facts brought you here!

[Elkotend]

@LeeLeeLee360 Shut the fuck up. I'm so fucking tired of people begging for thumbs up. I seriously see this on EVERY single video that OMG Facts puts on its website. Cunt.

[LeeLeeLee360]

@Elkotend get a life you fucking downy, its fucking youtube no one gives a shit

[Elkotend]

@LeeLeeLee360 You're telling me to get a life? I bet this thumbs up shit is what gets you through the day. It's annoying as fuck and everyone knows it but you, apparently.

[LeeLeeLee360]

@Elkotend i dont give a shit what you say so why are you still comenting? go outside and lose some weight you fat bellend . i cum all over the roof of your mums mouth

[Elkotend]

@LeeLeeLee360 If you don't give a shit what I say, why do you bother responding to me? And I'm actually not fat. I'm 5'9" and I weigh 166. Last part doesn't make sense.

This just proves your unbelievable stupidity and why nobody should agree with your original comment just so that you can get a confidence boost.

[LeeLeeLee360]

@Elkotend get a life!, if your really that bothered about a youtube comment then you need to fucking get a hobby.

[Elkotend]

@LeeLeeLee360 Again, I have a life. But it's still understandable how I can get aggravated by some douche bag that says something uncreative and expects to get the top rated comment just so that he can feel good about himself. Fuck you.

[LeeLeeLee360]

@Elkotend ok you clearly are retarded go suck your dads dick, i dont give a shit if it annoys you that i comented an unoriginal comment , you faggot.

[Elkotend]

@LeeLeeLee360 You obviously care or you wouldn't seem so angered and vulgar. Why don't you make some creative Youtube comments? Maybe then people will 'thumbs up' whatever the fuck you say. One day...

[LeeLeeLee360]

@Elkotend im done here go suck a dick you wanker and i hope you die a painfull death along with the rest of your family, goodnight faggot

[Elkotend]

@LeeLeeLee360 Someone's pissed.

[k00lguy80]

Why would he just splash a cannon ball in a bucket of cancer?!?!

[Hellion6325]

@k00lguy80 So he can shoot it at the bad guys!

[TheChronicler90]

@Superetard12

So long as he doesn't touch is with his bare hands, he's safe.

[redfaction011]

and instead of using a pricey cannonball..... just buy an iphone, they have an app for that too

[lolaxian]

woud a human float?

[MrHurricaneFloyd]

@lolaxian

Yes

[RockTheGABE]

da fuck? why isn't he wearing a mask or something? dosen't he know that the fumes from mercury make people go mad? LOL

[redgeKagaoan]

@poisonjam46 you fail

[RockThisShitEscape]

Swim on the pool of mercury !! Lets see if you can float. : ))

[gasoso3]

@RockThisShitEscape you can even float on water with high percentage of salt

[strike41100]

If it wasnt for the dying and all it would be cool to swim in mercury

[ayesha36]

That looks like a foam ball floating in water. Simply amazing.

[jinrex015]

put a cat in it and see if it float

[that1nigglet]

Unicorn blood?!

[cursedswordsman]

@that1nigglet No, unicorn semen.

[that1nigglet]

@cursedswordsman Obviously not a Harry Potter fan...

[Vincenator0]

Freaking cannonballs,

how do they work?

[woodsprout]

@Vincenator0 Cannonballs work similar to BB's, but on a larger scale.

[Vincenator0]

@woodsprout Um, thanks, but I was actually trying to make a reference to the Insane Clown Posse. You can look up "magnets, how do they work". :P

[hachouma23]

wow i guess you killed tons of unicorns to make this video

[Pineconevolved]

very cool!

[GluteusIlluminatus]

cool

[fuzzypyro58]

but will it blend..

[shawnio]

I wonder how much of that mercury splashed on his skin and face.

[senatorfatpie]

@lollol336 you're a retard. get off my 4chan.

[dtiydr]

Ok THATS a buckload o mercury!

[valzilla2000]

Oh.... I thought he was going to cannonball into the pool of mercury...

[locouk]

There is absolutely nothing portable about carrying around a bathtub full of mercury. It must weigh at least 6 tons!

[MasterXxploder]

He Almost splashed some in his face.

[blakbull11]

Even i steped back when he droped that ball in that pool of cancer

[janeyanna]

I'd be more worried about CNS symptoms of mercury poisoning than of cancer.

[danheo1]

Isn't that dangerous?

Once he gets that in his body he dead..

[TheSleepyV]

"Oh god, it splashed in my mouth! IT SPLASHED IN MY MOUTH!"



[SuperIffyjiffy]

Htoey, I have an idea, let's throw a cannon ball in a pool of mercury and let it splash up in my face.
