[TheMegamanDevil]

congrats, you are now god

as a reward you can deal with all our problems

speaking of which..............can i have a Narwal

[male20Colorado]

it seemed to react fast, so i thought of putting some in my gas tank. Make my car react faster. On a sidenote, anyone selling a car? I need one now.

[Th3Rav3N94]

where can i get the gallium ? please help me ..

[KronicKillaz]

@Th3Rav3N94 You must honestly be a moron. He said it in the video AND there is a link in the description.

[comrade110397]

Replace that gallium with Caesium for a cooler effect lol.

[backhair51]

I'm really fascinated by all of this but a lot of it goes over my head because I've never studied chemistry before. Can anyone recommend some sites that teach basic chemistry so that I can appreciate the finer details of these experiments?

[aei05h1]

@backhair51 GOOGLE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[backhair51]

@aei05h1 I did!!!!!!!!!!! There are tons of sites so I just wanted to see if anyone could recommend anything in particular.

[Tyranidwarriorman1]

acid... NOW PUT UR HAND IN THERE!

[ExplosiveElephants]

But...CAN IT BLEND?

[settah17]

If you where to return the heat of the beaker to room temperature would the gallium stay in a sphere?

[euphoricdefilement]

i love gallium because it is nontoxic and a great alternate to mercury i love getting a file and a bar of aluminum and just breaking it with my hand after like 3 days with gallium

[MrOpensaysme123]

when u said, "making it look like a heartbeat... although this one looks like a hard attack."

I LMAO!

[bogieman987]

It's a glitch in the Matrix lol

[miesrah12]

It should be renamed,"Making Gallium undergo cardiac arrest"

[NewBenne]

just leanered 1000 times more then an 100minutes chemstry lesion xD

[TheDesertedRanger]

ITSSSS AAAALIVE!!!! ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

[devyl46]

I feel really stupid watching your videos cause I do not know any of the chemicals you are using I just like the effects lmao

[commetsmasher]

if you let the gallium cool down and then took it out of the solution, would it stay in a sphere shape?

[beefywarrior12898]

prepetual motion! youve created a paradox!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMorningCloud]

science just got fun. ^_^

[flyingsquirrels1224]

You're awesome. Flat out.

[isobodari1]

why god dostent update such glitches

[JustineBieberxoxo]

Any chance we can see you do something fun with fluor anytime soon?

I heard it is highly reactive and the acids are pretty strong.

[SniperAdam1996]

I'm a 10th grader waching NurdRage. Do I understand any of it? No way. However that doesn't mean I'm not fascinated/learning. Keep up the great work Dr. N Butyl Lithium.

[hellzone100]

.... CAN ANYONE UNDERSTAND PHYSICS ?????!!!!

CAN ANYONE SEE WTF IS HAPPENING HERE!!!

[MrCarcallas]

I always listen while I don't understand the solutions

[supernova143]

AWESOME. THIS VIDEO WAS MADE BY A MAN WHO JUST MADE MORE CHEMISTRY ECO-FRIENDLY (NO MERCURY)!

[CTank2000]

Is there a way to cool it down, and keep it? I thought that I might want it when it turns into a sphere, it looked pretty cool!

[JackDoTWren]

Honestly love the amount of people that thumb up your comments. It seems as though they don't have an extensive knowledge of chemistry and are trying to back you up anyway. Either way your videos are a good watch.

[rickysatx79]

You sound like egon from ghostbusters

[Inureface]

how many of you dipshits actually passed gen chem? please refrain from posting stupid shit unless you actually know what's going on

[iskatelikeanoob]

thanks 4 posting the link to the website veryhelpfull

[pyrotechnics100]

thumbs up if you think it looks more like its having sex

[TehCrafter]

i don't understand a single word what he says but hell, it's fucking amazing

[Obito313]

Thank you o.o' this is sexxxy

[xLonlyxQueenx]

do you need an type of license to have gallium? Also, is it safe to touch? And does it have any type of toxic gas, like mercury does?

[Shuttercake1]

At 1:02 there was a strange looking ball popping out of the gallium

[NurdRage]

@TheHomeGamer1 much less so than ammonium dichromate, and only if inhaled in mist form. If you're inhaling sulfuric acid mists you've got a much bigger problem than carcinogenicity. dilute liquid sulfuric acid has not been identified as carcinogenic as far i know. Also, you're still using sulfuric acid even if you use the ammonium dichromate approach.

If you're honestly that worried about sulfuric acid then don't do the experiment.

[SamuelSlowMotionTV]

hearts having a heart attack

[mario1is1awesome]

The caption at the end says rate, not like.

Just saying.

[ScienceTry]

@Nurdrage Awesome video. Is the fact you didn't use mercury a part of your "Green Initiative"?

[pjCarlo3]

finally.... ITS ALIVE!!!

[joshtodamax]

im just now taking chemistry in 10th grade and you just mind fucked me with your mental capabilities

[Pandiculous]

Watching your videos makes me feel smart

[camden199]

dexters lab 

[dominic14061995]

Can we actually reuse the gallium after this experiment? it would be a waste to just throw it away...

[NurdRage]

@dominic14061995 yup, just dump the solution with the gallium into cold water. the gallium should quickly freeze up and you can then retrieve it, dry it, and store it for later reuse.

[HunterMitchell3]

@NurdRage, Not to be a troll, but you can melt with water at 95 degrees. Just wanted to give you a tip, just if you didn't know!

[LJNN]

congrats you found a real life "bug" :D

[Aristophile]

That is expensive for something I have no use for, well except my old gallium hollow point idea, fill copper shell, wax the top, shrug

[SploogeForTheWin]

Will you do my Chemistry homework for me? :D

[Algonkin1964]

More fucking ads... can't watch a damn video anymore with fucking ads.

[varad5454]

how much conc h2so4 do you use? --- Sent From NurdRage's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[richthornley]

How many beats per minute (or second) does the heart make? I want to video it but am worried it beats too fast!

Cheers

[brookie2664]

@richthornley I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how the gallium will spread apart and pull itself together.

I'm pretty sure if you place the nail barely touching the gallium at it top i think it will relax and therefor pull itself away from the nail. When it contracts you need to make it so it hits the nail at the highest point, any lower would be faster.

These are just my predictions anyway, go an experiment =P

[fertilizerspike]

Dude is going nuts with the gallium lately. What gives.

[AxelTiger]

lol @ heart attack! Chemistry is fascinating, but I only know pyrotechnic chemicals and reactions, great demonstration!

[fash2316]

is that your real voice

[gir489]

You need more "do not try this at home" videos. :\

[GryphonicDiscord]

I absolutely love your videos. I learn something new every time I watch them(even if I do have to look some of it up). I absolutely love it!

[AlChemicalLife]

u dont just do scince u do since in a funny awsome cool way : ) btw i have quit chemistry : ( cause i have ben haveing lung problems and i need to stop cause i dont want to kill me self.i have ben being safe i ware a respoator gloves and i work out side and sometime in my small ass fume hood

[Frostman182]

Love watching your videos, can't say I am much of a chemist but enjoy them anyways. When the gallium started to melt it reminded me on the T1000 from "Terminator" LOL

[Dunniezippy]

too bad we (the world) can't use a gallium beating heart as a power generator. it could work....

[everysnakesdream22]

Hurray you are back, I missed ya! anyway, please don't beg for likes, comments, and subscribes man, your videos are so entertaining you don't need to.

[rproks1]

go gallium --- Sent From NurdRage's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[instrkt]

do you know what ranges of surface tension are occuring?

[instrkt]

Your gallium beating experiment is wonderfull! If I may change the topic ,on your passivation of titanium metal vid. would you suggest/point me to a technique to platinise titanium for a low over-voltage electrode to run ionizing experiments in aqueous solutions experiencing 1-12pH.

[theargonite1234]

plz make more vids there great

[cjHIent]

LOL heart attack xD

[911Rstar]

it beats much like my heart !!

[thegodofchemistry]

@911Rstar lol



[Berowra290997]

Lovely - what is the freezing temp of Gallium? --- Sent From NurdRage's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[TboneIsRogue]

The... voice... is... awesome!

[TheChemtube]

You can also just add potassium dichromate.

[NurdRage]

@TheChemtube as part of a "green" initiative to replace traditional laboratory demonstrations with more environmentally friendly approaches where possible, i've opted not to do the dichromate approach due to its carcinogenicity.

[AintBigAintClever]

@NurdRage carcinogenicity? Remind me never to play against you at Scrabble! :-)

[kuni45]

You need to rent a high framerate super slow-motion camera and do that again!

[Swonkneo]

The motion being created is energy right? Could this setup harness any energy or is it not practical?

[mathewrtaylor]

Appreciate your videos as always, good to see you off hiatus!

[andreh4eva]

will galistan work also?

[andreh4eva]

will galistan work also?

[megs123456123]

so in theory, can you make a 'battery' setup out of this, or is the gallium going to have a problem?

[Sillybillydilly]

i guess there is nothing like mercury when it comes to increaasing hydrogen overpotential.. old zn batteries would have it to extend life.. lead is even better than mercury hence lead acid beats any zn/hg battery in storage stability=no hydrogen evolved while sitting in acid, or self reaction with some nh4cl/mno2 or koh/mno2 electrolyte.. ga is liquid but not "molecularly smooth".. it wets glass.. how about alloys of it?

[raybobmovies]

can you do dna fingerprinting i learned about it in school but couldent do the experiment because of budget cuts so it would be cool if you did it

[sofiv95]

I can't shake the feeling that I just saw a glitch of reality.

[yaklin104]

i wonder if the navy will look at me weird if they see that i ordered some gallium and sulfuric acid...

[thomars9]

nurd rage is so awesome

[dramey03]

reading you say a zombie outbreak is not possible makes me lose all respect,a real scientist never says anything is impossible, just improbable

who knows what we may do in the future, or what virus or bacteria etc will develop

a real nerd would prepare for anything

[NurdRage]

@dramey03 you're right, it's also not impossible that 1+1 =3, it's just improbable.

You'll also note in the original post I said "scientifically impossible", but not "absolutely impossible" which is what you seem to be implying. In fact i even explained if it were to happen, current science would be unable to help since it would be outside of it.

I don't need the respect of someone who doesn't understand the "straw man argument" or the "no true Scotsman" fallacies.

[Caspasho]

@dramey03 that is completely retarded, you are not an intelligent person

[Swonkneo]

@dramey03 I secretly hope for a zombie apocalypse to =P

[L0rdRemington]

@dramey03 zombies, as in undead are scientifically impossible, because of the irreversible degradation that occurs once you die. Here's one of the many reasons zombies couldn't exist. Simplifying this. When you die, regulation of calcium ions cease, causing calcium to diffuse into muscle cells, thus causing the well known condition "Rigor mortis". This isn't reversible and once it occurs, the muscles are unable to relax until the muscles degrade, thus a zombie wouldn't be able to even move.

[46564364]

Great video as usual. Are you going to make lead dioxide anodes? You said you will make them in your mno2 anodes video. I'm interested because there is very little information about them. I tried once with no success.

[89gtu]

Missed your videos awesome you rock glad too hear that deep scary voice.

[darksoul2001ro]

interesting, do some videos with mercury, and reactions with mercury

[Geddy135]

i love watching these videos even though i'm never going to do this,i just like watching the weird things you do with SCIENCE(if my science class was like this,i probably might not fall asleep everyday in that class) ....you should make videos more often,also i've been subbed for a while now but i wanted you to know.you should make something disintegrate or spontaneously combust in the next video

thumbs up if you agree

[nickbhalo]

This was the terminator's heart beat as he was crushed

[paradox7851]

I LOVE YOU NURDRAGE!!! I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!!!

[3xP10d3R]

the best of your videos is the explanation, thumbs up for that fellow nerd!

[psalmsofplanets0722]

I missed you, so many boring and uninteresting videos on youtube. You should put them up more

[imaball]

ive seen better on the periodic table of videos, they actually make it pulse

[jojo19001]

can u do fire and explosiveness special.

i think U can do it!

[XDem209]

although this looks like a heart attack , i lol'd ahha

[walkingreject86]

Yes, another video! If only you could devote more time to making these videos, the world would be a better place :)

[zkamir]

YES A NEW NURDRAGE VIDEO!! Happy Times!!

[OnorexDeixCaduti]

EPIC

[manofsteele8454]

thats cool and all but what purpose does this serve? i'm no chemist nor engineer, so this is a legit question.

[manofsteele8454]

thats cool and all but what purpose does this serve? i'm no chemist nor engineer, so this is a legit question.

[Bulldog9565]

you should get your own tv show tbh, cuz this is the stuff i like to watch. Plus you teach me more than the public school system ever taught me.

[TheTomiTomo]

i really wish i can see you post an experiment at least once every 2 month !! Im not the only one not blinking when watching your videos right ??

[khaledelmansoury]

@nurdrage Nice that you're back. Have you seen @periodicvideos's version of the gallium beating heart. If not, have a look here: watch?v=N6ccRvKKwZQ, they used sulfuric acid in combination with dichromate. But you're version is interesting too.

[AtomicFire41]

We've missed you nurd rage, and while I dint mind so much about the wait in videos, I noticed that some of your videos have gone. Was it a copy write strike or something?

[JaiNobesIsARat]

I've missed you, NurdRage!

...That sounded a little more gay than i intended it to...

Could you make a video on the reaction between Iodine and Aluminium Oxide? It's a favourite of mine and since I no longer study Chemistry i'm probably not going to get to see it again. Alternatively, make some thermite, since that seems like an obvious one that you haven't shown us yet.

[MRchapterfour08]

this guy reminds me of Jeffrey dahmer

[mackinnon182]

Did you ever find anything else on yiour synthesis of glow in the dark powder?

[multibillionaireguy]

:D your not dead yayyyyyyy

[1zacster]

@nurdrage actually google "haiti sugar plantation zombie" semi-zombies DO exist sort of

[infinitypro12]

If there is ever a zombie apocalypse...you will be recruited as my scientist! Ha ha. As always, you make complex reactions easier to understand. Thanks.

[NurdRage]

@infinitypro12 you needn't worry, a zombie (with the standard feature of "undead" immortality without eventual starvation) is scientifically impossible.

Alternatively, if there is a such situation where a science defying zombie existed, then a scientist would probably NOT be of any use to you....

.... at which point, you're boned.

At least we can blow sh*t up.

^_^

[infinitypro12]

@NurdRage The blow sh*t up part was more what I was hinting at, ha ha.

[guildwarserik14]

@NurdRage you mean...... there will never EVER be a zombie apocalipse?

man that sucks D:

[tybo09]

@NurdRage I lol'd when I read this. :)

You're awesome.

[iNFamousAAC]

@NurdRage There could be a virus like in I am legend that turns people into zombie like things. If that's the case, i'm with infinitypro12. :P

I imagine with the amount of chemicals at your lab, you could quite easily fight off a hoarde of zombies. :D

[NurdRage]

@iNFamousAAC no... i can fight off TWO hoards of zombies! :)

[mk09071]

@NurdRage Is it possible to take out the gallium and have a pure ball of gallium surrounded by gallium sulfate?

[oBLACKIECHANoo]

@NurdRage But we could possibly just keep pumping blood through a dead body and send electrical signals from a machine to control the muscles, making the body the walking dead. Not sure how plausible that is, but it sounds like it could be done.

[Caspasho]

@dramey03 @NurdRage if "zombies" did apear, they would be as easy to kill as humans if not easier, and they would need to drink and eat regularly

[joe2020jack]

Glad to see a new vid!

[IKickedurassdontcry]

Beating heart? looks like a Heart attack instead

she blinded me with SCIENCE!!! (1980's lol)

[sgtsysop]

The voice over sounds like anonymous

[danielth]

Missed your voice, welcome back~

[Craydon]

I've missed these.

[samholt]

Welcome back. Been reduced to watching lesser science chapters in your absence.

[theSilverBullet1100]

Youre bach hizahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[yakovgolyadkin]

I've.... missed you.

[Pap9]

its good that u r back

[Lightrundas12]

I use the Customary System (fahrenheit), so what would 50 degrees Celsius be in Fahrenheit?

[altclyti]

@Lightrundas12 Well gosh! You could find an online converter in approximately 5 seconds OR you can accept this rough guess of about 120 F

[Lightrundas12]

@altclyti I'm sorry that It didn't occur to me to look it up online, I was too busy watching the video. I have no idea why you have to such a dickhead, but I'm sorry

[altclyti]

@Lightrundas12 Giving you a rough conversion out of the goodness of my heart is being a dickhead? You gotta be one sensitive individual!

[gyducp]

do you do this kind of cool stuff in your work?! or just do it in your own lab ?

[NurdRage]

@gyducp at the lab at work. But my actual job isn't this, it's the far different field of organometallic catalysis.

[Krindol]

Stand back. I'm going to try SCIENCE.

[NurdRage]

@Krindol Someday, i'll use that line :)

[thawdani]

@NurdRage your not suppose to use facial expressions on comments! you never do, your like the omniscient all knowing emotionless character, thats how you made it look on all your previous replays.

[jlmknight]

like 4 months and not even a call :( .... great to have you back tho :)

[NurdRage]

@jlmknight lol

[girrrrrrr2]

Yay nurdrage hasn't killed himself with Science yet!

[legendaryPokedex]

this is good but periodic videos did it slightly better i think

/watch?v=N6ccRvKKwZQ

[NurdRage]

@legendaryPokedex to be fair, did you spam their video with links to my video as well?

[legendaryPokedex]

@NurdRage no, that wasn't my intention

[NurdRage]

@legendaryPokedex I don't spam my stuff in their videos, i'd appreciate it if their stuff wasn't spammed here. Although if it's going to be done anyway, some equal opportunity spamming i think would be more fair.

[legendaryPokedex]

@NurdRage I guess you're right! i apologize, maybe next time =)

[MrPants432]

@NurdRage

you could remove his comment, mr. nurdrage.

[L33tP1ckL]

Thank You so much for this... and P.S., We missed you!

[justaname111111]

lololol

[TheRyanatkinson]

dude your back! Are you using a new camera?

[lucried]

for experiments such as this one how do you safely dispose of it after conducting the experiment?

[TheJamesDVid]

I wonder if this could be done with something other than Gallium. I know in theory yes.

[xpointkiller]

awesome

[nathan33445]

Where do u get this material/supplies from?
