Caesium

[rappinggrammy101]

OMFG, what the hell did I just watch.... O.O"

[chucknorrisminecraft]

1KG!!!

[sizhe9]

Use Francium.

[odin6616]

@sizhe9 It's dangerous

[XainSF]

This is a fake reaction, explosives were used

[Ryanlauph]

@XainSF Have you never seen caesium explode? It DOES react that violently; there is no need for explosives.

[XainSF]

@Ryanlauph no it's fake, the youtuber 'Thunderf00t' outlines this very well check out his video 'Brainiac's alkali metals were FAKED!'

[Alohomorafication]

haha...boom :D

[artsyg33k]

FAKE!!!!

[theofficialstig]

pretty expensive but there again its illgal to have in schools so it must be awesome!

[t3hPoundcake]

Wait. You can buy Caesium? Lmfao. Thats nice.

[jackasshole3]

drop a hand full into swimming pool=GG

[TarisRedwing]

bet if your not calling from a lab that's supposed to have the stuff the FBI shows up on your door.

[MachetexXxAxe]

umm.....has anyone called the number..I lol'd how this is science and if a religeous person were to see the number anywhere would go crazy.

[liquidoxygen0]

You forgot to mention Caesium Hydroxide, which is known to be able to corrode through glass.

[MaxedTui]

i wana chuck like 1million pounds of this shit into japan an say im doing it for scientific purposes

[chaOsMastaGuru]

that might take a good chunk of the world, so I'd advise against it :)

[theofficialstig]

@MaxedTui why japan

[ttuberturbo]

what happens if i trow 3kg of that thing in a river? ;)

[JonnyB16902]

u die

[Coiltec]

Better use some normal explosive. Of course you can also use caesium, but this "fun" would cost about $100,000 for 3kg of caesium...

[DonHoraldo]

3kg would release 8480.4641125136483198212337727­86J of energy, or the equivalent of .0007 gallons of gasoline.

[killman369547]

ttuberturbo basically 3kg of cesium + river = mega boom

[KnightSauro]

3kg ?!?!?! You won't even be able to run away!! like 25 grams of Cesium exploded that bathtub!

[lilsk8erbro]

it was 2 grams dude.

[KnightSauro]

yeah, and it was still fucking explosive :o

[HaiderProductions]

they should try 50gram in the ocen tht would be aceeeee

[Mampf100]

lawl!

[demskyr]

Of course Cesium does NOT react that badly. It will cause a nice flame and smoke show. But that is it.

That is just science.

[Bavarianii1337]

demskyr , would you have a little bomb , you can take Lithium. It´s not radioactive.

[Trahira517]

Yes it does. Francium is the radioactive alkali metal but Caesium does really react that badly in water. Rb reacts similar to this. Nobody knows what Francium would do really. Too unstable and dangerous to screw around with trying to throw it in water, plus it's rare and expensive.

[GrimKage]

1 800 666 1337 ROFL

[Theguywhoplaysguitar]

francium is radioactiv, it decays directly when you put it to air

[Niels18989]

The radioactive decay has nothing to do with the atmosphere, and francium will decay under any condition you might wanna put it. so please dont post things when u dont know what ur talking about.

[pois90]

god! i want to see somefrancium!

[Synczor]

too bad you can't.. =/

[chickenminestrone]

i know, too bad francium is radioactive >.>

[Naminator99]

not that, there isn't enough.

[ChrisStalkYou]

BECAUSE it's radioactive.._.

[SeeBryanDontLaugh]

Indeed and Francium + Fluorine = BOOM! Really.

[DonHoraldo]

the alkaline nature of francium is only theoretical. at most it has a 22.00 min half life. not really enough time to purify and do experiments.

[gemeeno]

Francium is so highly radioactive so would be dead from radiation if you managed to get a visible amount of it. It is much, much more radioactive than radium or uranium...

The heat from the decay would melt the water alone. So it doesn´t really matter that it reacts (or should react) more vigorously with water.

[mcneilscorpionone]

imagine...

droping a 7 tonnes of that stuff in the ocean...

:D

[TurbaTaT]

It's the second most reactive? What's the first?

[kiege]

francium

[TurbaTaT]

thanx man

[Tattis99]

i really, REALLY want to see the same amount of metal... but just with francium

[vitruviancat]

francium is so reactive that its almost impossible to maintain in its pure form for long enough to put in water . . . it'll react with the air long before you even get it to water.

[bigbangAT]

woow thats $30.000 for just 1 kilogram of Cs

[lilsk8erbro]

for 1 gram not kilogram

[MagicJigPipe]

The Brainiac part is fake. They admittedly used explosives for all but potassium and sodium. These guys are a scurge. They do nothing but damage the name of science and fabricate "scientific data". I hate these guys. How can misinformation be entertaining?

[ebotron15]

This guy's on my page.

[buzzBurridge]

Umm is that stuff really for sale. I am guessing the fact that the number had 666 and 1337 (leet) its a fake. But if anyone knows were i can get some plz send me a message.

[ege1993]

the brainiac part is rubidium, not caesium.. watch the original video by rubidium

[NotFrenchman]

Ur an idiot "ebotron15" They didnt use double glazed glass or anything like that, instead they used one which would either decay or react with water.

They probably did edit it, and had "qualified" people performing it, but Y complain. My point is that your complaining with little if any knowledge 2 back up your statement.

IF YOU DONT NO ABOUT IT, DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT.

[ebotron15]

Why are we all having a go at me? There are far more idiotic people in the world, I'd like to point out the idiot "DropParties" who seems to think that there has been a Francium bomb test (see Related Videos)

But why does everyone have to be so aggressive on youtube at all, a good 50% of the videos on here are followed by some stupid, trivial argument in the comments like this. Why?

[illblanca]

shut-up thats why.

[ebotron15]

Ahh- I love the internet

[baldurgorion]

I experoance the

same thing

[Fishmongerabc123]

you sound like a gimp

[ebotron15]

If the brainiac one is real then there is no way John Tickle threw it in and had time to run into a caravan before it exploded. If it is real then the bit with John Tickle was set up and the explosion was carried out safely afterwards and the whole thing was edited to look as though Tickle had done it.

As for "It doesnt react instantly with water on the brainiac take because its incased in a glass argon atmosphere..." - last time I checked you couldn't break glass by throwing it into water.

[Pwnagemonkey1]

Yeah, 'ebotron15' if you had DONE your research on this video, you would have known that the glass tube they were using was not actually glass, but a material with the properties of it that dissolves in water so it could explode safely.

ugh, i get so pissed off with slow witted idiots like you.

[ebotron15]

Hey, I can only comment on what I've seen. Under the circumstances I think "slow witted idiot" is a little extreme. Perhaps I have better things to do than watch brainiac... real science for example.

[viper577]

The video however shows an explosion, as if it had exploded from the bottom of the tub (as so much water is thrown upwards) Caesium is much less dense then water is, and would be much higher in the water due to this (probably towards the top) before it reacted.

[xoxAlysxox]

If you think braniac is a waste of time why bother watching this and commenting, even though it wastes your 'oh so precious' time?

[ebotron15]

I watched a video called "Caesium" not "Caesium as done by Brainiac"- I have no issues with the rest of the video.

[plaeumchen]

wow...my chemistry teacher told me to look in the internet for this video. me made som experiments with Li,Na and Ka. they were explossiv too.. wow so Cs is rely explossiv..

[Dnn87]

Why discuss why this is real? Watch my videos! I have cesium - ALOT! and done many experiments with it. Braniac is indeed very fake. An article has been written about this. So no doubt about that it is fake. Cesium do react explosively with water as shown in my vids, but not as much as braniac states. ;)

[Daneywaney]

wow only 30 bucks for 1 gram?!?!

[pie4ever101]

nice info, i may use some of this

[gemfiren]

Alkali metals can be very explosive. My professor did an example with water and a small amount of an alkali metal ... (I can't remember which alkali element) anyway I was seeing spots after watching the reaction. He had to back away a few feet as a safety prcaution. It scared the crap out me.

[gemfiren]

Sorry unbelievers, but this video is in fact genuine. I've seen too many suspicious comments about the tub being a wired or whatever. Wake up and stop being so paranoid. As a chemistry major I've learned all about alkali metals and we stress that mixing them with water is extremely dangerous and should not be done boy amatuers or idiots for that matter. These experiments need to be handled with care.

[centerpostplayer]

OMG, I can't believe how many STUPID & IGNORANT people we have on this planet. THIS IS REAL!

[lordturtle]

dip shit u just took some clips from youtubes like brainiac and stuff and u took clips of diffrent stuff and pieled them together to make them look real, die of ghoneriea and go have sex with michle jackson

[hazzaap123]

Glass casing sorry, and i made some typo's :)

[hazzaap123]

AH! tobe honest my friends, when i watched this ideo i thought it was fake because caesium reacts instantly. but when i whatched it again it states they put a metal casing around the caesium so that it would take sometime before it reacts, therefore my friends this is not fake. :)

[lmaollama]

its real, we did it in my school in science today, its definatley real :D

[REretrolover]

It's obviously fake because it reacts instantly with water.

[xQuillx]

It doesnt react instantly with water on the brainiac take because its incased in a glass argon atmosphere as to not react with moisture in the air. Hence why it didnt react straight away.

[vivalarey619]

Wow you can make your bathtub blow up for $30 on of the cheapest thrills

[jEsTeRnOjUtSu]

it looks pretty real, but there's no way that cesium is that cheap

[AgentAllen2]

Nice educational vid.

I hope you got top marks in the science project.

[bulletmagnet25]

that is fake, they prolly used gunpowdr or dynamite or composition B or some crap like that works alot better:)

[will9526]

its real....learn more about science

[libtechsk8er]

Not trying to disappoint anyone, but the braniac version of the cesium explosion is faked. They tried it earlier, but not much happened because the cesium was at the bottom of the bathtub so when it exploded, all of the water on top of it stopped anything big from happening like it would if you lit a firecracker underwater.

[GenreBand]

sorry, i need to clarify, the part that is fake is when they blow up the bathtub with the yellow sign by it

that's off of brainiac and is totally rigged

[GenreBand]

this is actually fake, I read an article in Wired mag about it... they couldn't get it to work so they used dynamite

[aurorasmall]

Excellent - I've been looking for a clip like this for ages! Thanks!

[Tranxhead]

Haha, I got shown the one with the glass bowl full of water getting blown away in Chemistry when I was 14. It was a hit...

[ultimokitty]

woah!! i just got assigned the same advertisement project and i got caesium too! ill post a vid response when i get it done!

[cockingtons]

nuclearteacup - nicely strung together vid. Good to see someone taking the lighter side of chemistry and enjoying the immense fun to be had blowing stuff up.

[fran22681]

i have an idea for a grnade for that theres a like water in it and a litte of thay stuff in it the water is in a teap door on top wot the stuff on the bottom when the trger is pulled the water takes two secs to fall in it and it exspolds

[hewhoseeall]

Except, cesium is expensive, and the perfectly functional stuff they already use is cheap, and more stable.

[thejamesthejames]

hey leave off this guy! i really enjoyed this video and its presented in a humorous way with a twist unlike all that RSC video stuff..
