Plasma Forcefield melting metal

[TheChrusta]

This is the tin. It melts at about 200 degrees Celsius.

[xXxchipperchopperxXx]

its like "you shall not pass"

[NETWizzJbirk]

This is more like a TIG welder.

[Aedazan]

Fine. You guys want a tutorial? I want 100 thumbs up to this post! I will make a detailed tutorial on how to make your own and melt all kinds of stuff in it...

[Valentyn90A]

@Aedazan Just make it, maybe ppl start making this stuff and explore new technologies. We'd share with each other.

[CasusUniversum]

Nice try, that's just common solder. Depending on the solder used, it can melt at as low as the boiling point of water.

[HannahMantana69]

Looks like soder to me..

[Mongoosii]

@HannahMantana69

Well done. It says that in the description also.

[deadguy237]

nice fail 

[Elite9739]

DAMN SCIENCE YOU SCARY!

[blackspace100]

can i have one in gun form?

[dragonking322]

You know this dosent actoualy meet the definition of a "Force Field" In the strictest sense a force field would be a something that dose more then melt objects that come in contact but it would also provide resistance to any force tring to pass through the field. The best way to actually categorize this is to call it a plasma torch

[DynamicVizionz]

RAY SHIELDS!!!

[webdesign212]

I own plasma cutters that I use to cut up to 1" thick steel with the swipe of a hand (Or a turn of a steeper motor on the CNC table). I am not to impressed by this.

[ziggoverzaggs]

sounds like a bunch of angry bees o-o

[LaxLuvr129]

Haha solder is made to melt easily.

[coolio8444]

solder lol melts at like 500 degrees

[mccunecp]

dont take much heat to melt solder but cool either way

[GingleGangle1]

So that is Lead right/

[blindpyro86]

that's just solder, the melting point of which is under 600 degrees fahrenheit.

[Alientraveler003]

That's cool show how u did that peace for peace , cuz it's useless like this

[LUVB6CPPgmodcsscoder]

sounds like a fart

[pyromania321]

i tried something like this now that i made a more powerful flyback driver and when i put the metal in the way while holding it with insulated pliers, it gave me a huge shock and my hand hurt like hell for like 10 mins

[codydorman420]

@pyromania321 duh im pretty sure that is electricity

[AnselmoFanZero]

Nd:Magnet plus ZVS et voilá ^^

How much VA input?

[moniker127]

Quite beautiful. 

[mathscirocks]

how did you make it hollow like that?

[derstrom8]

I'm not sure about 10,000 degrees. Maybe 1000.

[derstrom8]

@derstrom8 Nevermind, I take that back

[Aedazan]

@derstrom8 My hand held butane torch is 1200 degrees, I have yet to find something that this device will not melt/vaporize

[derstrom8]

@Aedazan Apparently my other comment didn't come through. I realized my error soon after I posted this, and I posted another comment that said I took it back. Sorry for the confusion =P

[mathscirocks]

@Aedazan try graphite

[derstrom8]

@Aedazan Okay, Youtube definitely has a major problem with its comments. As soon as I submitted that comment, I realized my mistake and posted an immediate correction and apology. A while later I realized it was gone, so I posted another correction, and now that one is gone. Let's try this one more time:

I take back what I said--I know I was wrong, and it was a simple mistake. I am sorry for the confusion. Good job on the vid =)

[PanzarMetal]

@Aedazan Just bugging in with a smart as comment here =)

Try melting/vaporizing gas ? surely you wont be able to do it.

But if seriously then try melting a light bulbs coil its made of volfram usually. melting point is about 3000 C

[Aedazan]

@PanzarMetal It turns the light bulb coils into a fine white dust, tried it on the table =D

[PanzarMetal]

@Aedazan Huh ? does it melt it or just turn to dust ?



[Aedazan]

@PanzarMetal IT turnned into dust :s

[loopedrope]

@Aedazan melt diamond

[xxe1337forcexx]

@Aedazan Why not try some graphite from a nuclear reactor core ;)

[circle601]

@PanzarMetal Tungsten

[MistaKae]

@PanzarMetal What language are you spelling in (o.0) Wolframium is the correct spelling aka Tungsten. =]

[greekfitercod4ever]

@Aedazan rhenium?

[iEugene1994]

@Aedazan Ниобий, молибден, тантал, вольфрам, рений, иридий, осмий, гафний,родий, рутений, цирконий, хром, титан... Все расплавило, говоришь ?

:D

[georgiafbi]

@Aedazan Melt Osmium.... 

[asdfasdf1342]

@derstrom8 Actually, plasma can be up to 50,000 degrees. Look at plasma gasification systems. They will melt anything except heavy metals.

[derstrom8]

@asdfasdf1342 Yes, I posted a correction as soon as I made that comment. I realized immediately that I was wrong, and I apologize.

[iEugene1994]

@derstrom8 I can easily melt any metall with HV arc, even tungsten spiral from light bulbs, it's temperature is higher than any of refractory metal's melting temperature. But not 10K is for sure.

[quangluu96]

@derstrom8 Plasma is actually as hot as the surface of the sun, so 10,000 could be the temperature.

[derstrom8]

@quangluu96 Did anyone at all see my correction? I took it back as soon as I said it XD

[KillEveryoneKillPhil]

@derstrom8 its plasma ....maybe your a dickhead

[derstrom8]

@KillEveryoneKillPhil Troll.

For the last time, I did some research and I took back that comment immediately after I posted it.

[KillEveryoneKillPhil]

@derstrom8 dude im not a troll i just hate ppl who agrue about shit they know nothing about i dont care if your uneducated because guess what i am 2 but i hate ppl that talk on subjects or agrue about them when they know f-all about them id NEVER agrue about this stuff because honestly i know f-all about it

[derstrom8]

@KillEveryoneKillPhil I've been doing this for 20 years. I'd be willing to bet that I know 100x more about this than you do, which is exactly why I took back that comment before anyone else commented. There's no need to be insulting in your comments. Being polite gets you much further.

[KillEveryoneKillPhil]

@derstrom8 mate iv'e only be looking at this stuff for a few weeks so either your a bit on the dumb side or your lieing out your arse and mind you this is me being nice im willing to bet you know nothing about this at all and your full of it... you saying you know 100 times more then me only goes to prove that your math skills are as bad as your general knowledge how bout you just delete your embaricing comment... an d mate it would easy reach 10k rocket fueled by plasma 1 million

[KillEveryoneKillPhil]

@derstrom8 also what exactly have you been doing for 20 years that you would look up basic videos on youtube and also make basic errors... geez mate im sure you been doing something for 20 years lol but w.e you are trying to calm is a complete lie and at this moment ill stop being nice to call you a fucking idiot.

[derstrom8]

@KillEveryoneKillPhil Take it easy. I don't know what your problem is, but there's absolutely no need for it. I've been working with electronics for 20 years, and a large chunk of that has been with high voltages, as in this video. That's why I corrected myself right away. I'll be the first to admit I still make mistakes. You can't honestly tell me that you don't. Now if you really feel so bad about yourself that you think you have to troll youtube comments, go ahead. I truly feel sorry for you.

[KillEveryoneKillPhil]

@derstrom8 ok not im trolling you im just wondering why at the time if your learning about something you only know a little bit about that you would correct it... i mean you dont know so why would you correct it anyways all good thats all i was saying also they are thinking of making a plasma fueled rocked the plasma is control by a magnectic force so it doesnt touch the metal because at 1 million u can imagine that it was make short work of that metal very quick...

[derstrom8]

@KillEveryoneKillPhil I felt I should correct a mistake I made so as not to confuse anyone. It's a learning thing, and if I realize I made a mistake, I prefer to correct myself rather than leaving an incorrect statement out there. Just a personal preference. Also, now that you mention plasma-fueled rockets, you may be interested in ion thrusters. That's something they already have out there. It's a brilliant idea, really. Anyway, no hard feelings. Sorry this turned into such a big thing.

[ihavetofishable]

That's not a force field, it's a field of death.

[santamariamarvy]

@Aedazan freaking nerds .. talking

[kingbpro]

i like how people try to prove they are smart by explaining whats happening. guess what? most of us already know we just want to watch the awesome glowing purple thing ha

[microg]

simple arc melting

[bc71766]

... great ... 5000 volt to melt solder ...

[Colince411]

thats not impressive, its just sodder

[Commonwealthave360]

@Aedazan Alright, kids... settle this in chemistry class

[0r14n583lt]

nothing special. soldering iron is designed to melt

[chikotube]

Why does the arc seemingly orbit around the edge? Anybody have a high speed camera to investigate further?

[themert123456]

Its just solder -.-

[JD8853]

that looks to be solder. which is a metal, but with a very low melting point

[cjcpanther]

@JD8853 You my friend, just saved me the time of commenting about that! xD

[JD8853]

@cjcpanther haha i need to tye this with my plasma globe. and it took me some time to think about it lolz

[altaqqadum96]

Look up plasma ''WINDOW''

[Alex1M6]

Its amazing how much fun you can have with a flyback transformer.

[eyesack9]

imagine having that shit around your house, no dogs would be shitting on your lawn thats for sure

[Cabal2600]

Is there any solutions how to construct plasma welding machine??

[CoolDudeClem]

What makes the plasma spread out in a cone shape like that? Are magnets used in some way to do this?

[laghan2]

yeah if it melts solder then it might not have been a wise then to do

[Zinkopus]

A force feild? PEDOBEARS DON'T STAND A CHANCE!!

[daivondays]

@endimion17 tool

[xxkittenkiller]

its not really that big of a deal, considering all you're melting is solder

[log7871]

@endimion17 just got edumecated

[endimion17]

@log7871 By an ignorant?

[jsmythib]

So by forcefield you mean plasma oven :)

[ComputerHacker723235]

Bullshit! its just solder!

[bryanfuel]

solder doesnt count as real metal xD

[robertpal9]

Tutorial please

[badbadthepirate]

You're melting Solder. Nice try but no.

[bioblader]

what would happen if u put ur finger in it !

[Aedazan]

@bioblader I have actually tried that, it hurts a lot...

[bioblader]

@Aedazan WOW 0o0, I WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT I WOULD OF TRICKED MY DAD LOL

[jaws99099]

@Aedazan LOL so have I. And it burns :)

[WargoDsssss]

@Aedazan U survived? O_O

[chilidress]

@Aedazan you didnt get electroshocked?

[cod4ghost123]

@Aedazan what is plasma

[asdfasdf1342]

@cod4ghost123 It's super-heated air.

[OppsFellonder]

@bioblader

you wuld pull your finger right out

[InsidiakMFWA]

Still a long ways away from stopping a speeding bullet...

[umum80]

do not make a humongous one because the transformers will hunt you down!!!!!!!

[Altimicus]

For all trying to build it... I've already built one of those... there is plenty material at 4hv [dot] org

[karmapup4uru]

Well, I don't know shit about physics except what I have learned on Science Channel, lol, and I don't care what it is called, I still think it is cool ;)

[FieryTigerWolf]

@endimion17 pwned

[theMrmuttly1]

thats sauder

[sidpineapple]

listen, my flux capacitor on my hyperdrive just blew, any chance u could sort it out for me?

[randomfatalitiesCORP]

@Aedazan I don't care. That shit's a forcefield!

[TheMtaTeam]

@endimion17 is plasma a type of gas or energy

[endimion17]

@TheMtaTeam It's a special case of a state of matter we call gas. Not "the fourth state of matter". Just a special case of gas. There are many special cases of liquids and solids, too. Like superfluids, liquid crystals, metallic glasses or even surface phases, etc.

[endimion17]

@Aedazan That was uncalled for. I happen to know a bit more about physics. The only thing I was commenting was your subtle attempt to lure ignorant SF fans and crackpots into clicking the like-button. The broad meaning of a "forcefield" could be a simple sheet of window glass, as basically, it's just forces between charges. But that was not what you wanted. Sorry, but I see what you did there.

[MrMusicalMustache]

Tutorial for the Plasma Forcefield please?

[Aedazan]

@MrMusicalMustache I dont think that I will be making one because if the people who try to make one screw it up they could be killed, tbh I dont want to be sued

[PyroGuideToHappiness]

@Aedazan make a tutorial, but then say you don't condone anything done and discourage anyone from attempting it. good enough for jackass, great for you

[smokescreenninjato]

@Aedazan the question is do you tell people and take the risk that they might do it or do you take the risk that they will try do it on their own

[theiopl22]

@Aedazan just say you are not responsible for anything that happens and they cant sue you

[TheXxVIP3RxX]

@Aedazan would it ever be possible to create a lightsaber using plasma? if we could find a way to contain it within a open rod shape?

[bradkey98765]

@TheXxVIP3RxX We could already do that, but you wouldn't be able to power it with anything remotely portable.

[drewsisely]

This is going in my MK 6

[StarFoxAutobot]

I can't believe this thing's real!! 8D

[azdgariarada]

Looks like your "forcefield" doesn't do a very good job of keeping things from penetrating it. So really it's more of a "field", without the Force. :-P

[xA7EX]

Burning it on a wooden table... Sweet.

[Flyytb]

Do you work in Area51?

[javy0005]

holy shit wtf this is awesome.is this sort of like tesla technology? i would love if you told me how you did this.

[scaleop4]

SOLDER

[christiskingofall]

is that a paperclip?

[TheOneToxic]

solder XD

[Car5lover]

try electrocuting bubbles :) now thats hot

hydrogen plasma FTW!

[Taylaron1]

thats solder...

[stinger77100]

woah the comments up there are so sophisticated lol

[Corey497]

that has got to be the coolest thing i have ever seen

[CharlesOneOfAustria]

A Starcraft match brought me here. Nice. 

[joshallan17]

@CharlesOneOfAustria force fielddss!!!!

[DanyF02]

What is plasma actually...? O.o

[haappy127]

now wads left is to weaponise it

[ResultantForce]

"Wooden surface" ^^ , what about the safety?

[princeofexcess]

I wouldnt melt solder at higher temperatures you can actually get heavy metal poisoning. Solder is ment for couple hundred degrees not couple thousands

[MSJjoshua]

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!

but seriously, that transformer has got quite the wattage.

[Aedazan]

True, unless it is affecting a paramagnetic, diamagnetic, ferromagnetic or ionized material.

Luckily most elements fit under that description :)

[haygoodfly]

...not so much a force field as it is an incinerator field

[coonhunta]

@neverthat thats pretty much what bullets are, except not as molten, but they will burn you

[SlightlyOddGuy]

Plasma technology is also used in welding nowadays. The plasma welder at my work has a plasma stream that reaches,according the the manufacturer--we have no real way to verify this ourselves, 36,000 degrees.

[sanin92]

@SlightlyOddGuy HOLY ASS!! 36000 degrees shiiiiittttt

[Spokguy1984]

Maybe with more development, higher voltages would instantly vaporize any incoming projectile rather than pushing it away.

[DAKODA65]

this is awesome!!

[alexeyz007]

i want lightsaber from that, can u give me link to ebay to ? &)

[XxTEARSofPURPLExX]

hmm i want one when u can contain to certain lengths

[SmashMaterFlex]

great, now people are gonna burn there papers from school.

[wazscience]

i want to know how that works? how do you get the plasma beam to cirlce the hole like that?

[roderik1990]

am I correct by believing that it is a high voltage DC arc that you get moving using some magnets? or are you using another method to get the plasma?

or AC perhaps?

[Aedazan]

@roderik1990 you are correct, it is the unrectified transformer output

[VH12th]

@Aedazan please catch a bug and toast it!

[97273998]

@VH12th you sick creep go kill a whale!

[ONceupONatiME13579]

@VH12th y dont we try ur face first? wouldnt change a thing on it anyway

[VH12th]

@ONceupONatiME13579 Well, thats not fair, You've never seen my face ^^ + I'm one of those who've realized that we humans are far more superior than other animals/insects on this planet and that thing will kill the bug so fast it wont know what that hit is! =)

of course don't kill maggots or worms! but I'm talking about coachroaches

[ONceupONatiME13579]

@VH12th rofl? coachroaches? it's cock, not coach

so u think that if we fried ur face so fast that u wouldnt know what hit u it would be okay? Ethically it would be just as bad as slaughtering bugs for no purpose what-so-ever with plasma forcefields

And about 'humans being far superior than other animals/insects' --> with your two comments im guessing u'r trying to prove that u arent a human right? coz that's what it looks like

[VH12th]

@ONceupONatiME13579 Ye, you got me right basically! i don't enjoy being human because of our cruel nature ^^

[lebensraummetal]

@ONceupONatiME13579 Ok. Never swat a mosquito again, or never pester people with your bullshit again. pick one. the two cannot coexist unless you are a shitty hypocrite.

[theREALmegaverse]

@Aedazan Don't you need some inert gaz to make a plasma like argon? (Used in welding plamsa cutting equipement) so this is just electricity right ? 

[Aedazan]

@theREALmegaverse

No, a plasma is a state of matter, in theory anything can be a plasma however many compounds break down before they reach that point, still almost all ( if not all ) elements can be turned into plasma.

[theREALmegaverse]

@Aedazan ahh ok, good to know It's just that i'm a welder and we can't achieve the plasma state with our plasma torch without that gaz it just won't work everything will meld together. has to do with ionizing the gaz and reaching terrible temperatures of like 45000 degrees. I hope i'm not in the error ...it's basics studies that are far behind, lol. Nonetheless your contraption is cool.

And Is it a piece of MüMetal from a hard drive that i see underneat your contration ?

[ronkerjake]

Too bad bullets aren't made of solder.

[Aedazan]

@ronkerjake Bullets are made out of lead while solder is made out of tin and lead. This means that it should work against bullets if implemented on a larger scale.

[ronkerjake]

@Aedazan most bullets have a higher density coating surrounding the lead core, armor piercing and FMJ rounds will have no problem going through plasma shielding. It could reduce their effectiveness as armor piercing rounds by softening its exterior and causing it to flatten on impact. Its cost effectiveness as a viable bullet shield are non existant compared to layering thicker armor onto vehicles/soldiers. It would work well against rockets, however, but i wouldnt want to be surrounded by this.

[LEGENDPURGE]

@ronkerjake

In other words..... BOOM - SIT THE FUCK DOWN ;)

[iHeartElectricalEng]

technically, this isn't a "force field" because it doesn't exert a force on the metal, it just melts it.

[1x93cm]

thats solder

[MrCabllegoo117]

shiiiit, how much money it cost you to run it?

[hoter421]

ill be laughing if you got shocked rofl

[hacker13sacker]

@hoter421 lol shocked? you mean melted lmao

[DaleWooddell1]

awesome

[snelpiller]

please give me a link to where I can find instrucitons on how to build one :P Promise I wont blame you when I get stoopid and hurt myself!
