Sulphur Hexafluoride Gas

[SuIphur]

Guess it's my time to shine!

[DJJschmef]

He's just taking a whip it...

[AXTesorero3]

careful with this stuff, since it is more dense than air, it can get trapped in your lungs. you are supposed to hang upside down after and take 3 or 4 deep breaths to exhale all the gas.

[MegaBEANER1000]

by heavy i mean dense lol

[MegaBEANER1000]

Tungsten hexafluoride is twice as heavy.. but if you suck as much of that stuff in as he did here your prolly dead in about 30-90 seconds.

[RiotGamingz]

if you had enough of it, could you swim in it? :o

[PushyLittleKid]

@RiotGamingz This stuff is about 5-6 times denser than air, but still less dense than water, which is 800 times denser than air. So the answer is no.

[peugteobike]

i would like to try this

[monkeyman1140]

He's Gou'ald!

[yourGODLYhero]

@monkeyman1140 oh no! :O

[Brettjet4realz]

i'm gana get some of this. get in a really cheap devil's costume and go to a church and say "I AM THE SON OF LUCIFER, NOW WHO WANT'S TO DANCE!!"

[dougie200194]

would this stuff be denser than water

[csmaster65]

No.

[britecho]

Dammit even that last comment was a reply - get your act together Youtube!!! :(

[britecho]

My comments were actually a reply to a previous post but, as is typical with Youtube these days, it didn't appear like that. It's so long ago now that I can't remember who I was replying to! However I do know global warming has nothing to do with ozone depletion - I wasn't suggesting that it did! Not sure of the relevancy of your second point and, as for your third - sorry, you don't get away with it that easily!! :)

[ABBIEMARTIN95]

you can hear the titanic song! 1:18

[CRaazzyJoE92]

lolz the titanic song lolz. fun-E comment Celion Dion: My Heart Will Go On. :P d: and yea this gas is awesome... dont do it so much tho, it could be harmful to your body ^.^

[theonlyemoprep]

umm so i totally want some of this shit...

[kthfox]

its about as hazardous as helium from what i can tell since people are breathing it in. maybe they should illegalize helium XD oh and next comes some other relatively harmless gas.

[nitrus202]

yeah xenon in the only one that kinda effects u like a stroke .....but still makes ur voice deep like that but even sulfur hexaflouride will get u a lil light headed and it doesnt come out of ur loungs as fast as helium it can acualy sufficate u

[thejanitor99]

What you say is true, why would people give you negative feedback...?

[CatMaster87932]

its like invisible water

[Ilikeonions]

it's scientific HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[christolie83]

actually, what they do is illegal. companys around are spending lots of thousands on equipment preventing SF6 gass to get in the air and then atmosphere. So for u to get it would be quite diffcult.

[JesExaVid]

if this gas is that heavy, it wont go hight in the atmosphere :p

[christolie83]

actually, it will. over years it mixed with air and then go up i the atmosphere.

[britecho]

SF6 is actually a greenhouse gas, more potent than CO2! Hoever because of the high density of SF6 it does not present such a high risk, as most of it sinks to lower levels. It is not an ozone destroying gas like CFC's are.

[swiftyfan2]

Were could i aquire some sulphur hexaflouride. i want do this for a college science class??

[KirupinKitty]

LOL u mispelled intelligent in yer name xD kinda ironic, doncha think?

[inteligentboy]

it is sarcastic, like this conversation

"you suck"

"your an idiot"

[KirupinKitty]

yeah i know, i like it, its funny xD

[sangjelmo]

Isn't it you're?

[FALLINGCOWZ546]

@inteligentboy you used the wrong your. you were supposed to use you're.

[ManiaCop100]

i saw this on mythbusters, but adam did the deep voice thing. i might get some from work

[tommcdade]

ahhhh the joys of density:)

[rogerfraserr]

Hydrogen is the lightest element in existance; you would need something heavier than air to do that trick.

No, not a trick; science!

[birthmarkslaya26]

haha lol why is "my heart will go on" playing in the backround?

[overratedname]

cuz the foil boat was sinking, like the titanic did, and that song was a major part of the titanic film from the nineties

[JermyKan]

this shit is expensive, we got some at my school and it was $300...pretty cool though

[Admin1Firestrife2]

and again , where can this be purchased?

[clanjarheadstt05]

i think you will find it is 5.11 times heavier than air

[2gs425]

Where can i get this gas?

[issyrocks]

That would be cool if their was a pool of this gas... I wonder if you would be able to swim in it.

[crazyfool61]

Probably not....it would just mix with the air and float away after a while...note how they have the carboard on top of the tank as they fill it

[ehack87]

They did that so it wouldn't "ricochet" off of the bottom--note how it's heavier than air and they were able to scoop it into a cup and dump it on the "boat"

[R2DIT2]

When u jump in, u never know the pool is full or empty.

[poopal6]

i was thinking the same thing

[mkarnerfors]

You wouldn't be able to swim in it. The body density is pretty close to water (1.0 kg/l) so you wouldn't even be able to swim in ethanol (0.8 kg/l). SF4 is at only 0.006 kg/l so there is no chance you could swim in it.

It could be possible to make a boat for you. It'd have to be a pretty big one for you though. Assuming median human weight of about 75 kg you'd have to displace at least 12 500 liters, or 3 500 US gallons, plus a proportionate amount for the weight of the boat itself.

[mkarnerfors]

Correction: SF6, not SF4 (of course). :D

[wamyc]

What I want to know is how SuFl6 feels flowing past your skin.. does it feel like water and will it drip off your hand?

[beehappychicken]

rofl learn your chemistry

[ShogunPJ]

S >>> sulphur

F >>> fluorine

Learn to chemistry XD

[poopal6]

learn to chemistry is an awesome line lol

[0ldSkule]

Inhaling it makes you dense too

[grendelee]

lol i didnt know that huffing nitrous was allowed on youtube..

[Crimson250]

haHaha nangs ftw

[Justusson]

didn't believe it at first - did my homework and wow,...there's much to know in life

[BryanBeatsYouAll]

HEY!!!! That's Steve Spangler, isn't it?!?

[marclepine]

Looks like Don LaFontaine is done for. haha.

very cool.

[inteligentboy]

Hope you enjoy it!!
