Melting Cesium using only 'Body Power'

[TP1988]

Someone give Uri Geller a spoon made of Cesium.

[TMTours]

Love the Geller reference LOL

[Harriseverton]

the spelling isn't the point, the idiocy of this video however is

[TeethTeethTeethFace]

@Harriseverton Are you on the blob?

[Harriseverton]

and your first sentance is wrong, it's the second most reactive metal, after francium. sort it out

[Quintinohthree]

@Harriseverton

Francium has a half life of about 21 minutes. That it's even more reactive doesn't really matter, you just can't keep a large enough quantity to do anything with it. After half an hour most has become radium.

[Harriseverton]

@Quintinohthree ah sorry, see i thought you were trying to be scientific but clearly not. caesium is the most reactive metal...if you don't include the most reactive metal :? regardless of it's half life it is more reactive. so next time you aim to educate with a scientific video, try being properly scientific instead of lying to make yourself seem impressive...

[Harriseverton]

not meant to ruin this but it's spelt caesium. sort it out

[XenoNTributE]

@Harriseverton I'm guessing you're brittish?

[Harriseverton]

@XenoNTributE British* but yeah. why?

[XenoNTributE]

@Harriseverton Basically it's spelled different in Britain than in the U.S.

[Pancerni]

Well,if the the shit hits the fan you can always get a job making crack pipes.Lame joke aside,this was very interesting stuff,now I am frigging compelled to go look up Cesium and what uses it has.

[bourbonated]

Bet your a hit with ladys with that little finger trick

[CharlieOKane]

@PicklePumpers I wanted to comment on this video, but the awesomeness of this comment has made it completely pointless.

[numbuh124]

Put it in water

[shmenguin366]

crsium only melts at 83 degrees

[antitna]

@shmenguin366 301,59 K (28,44 °C) says wiki^^

[vhinostroza]

Science is just so fucking awesome

[ILIKESFLAN]

your nails are dirty

[mmmmmarcus]

@ILIKESFLAN That's what happens when you get your hands dirty and WORK.

[6willy79]

yawn



[GmasterRED]

Nice bong

[DannyDzeko]

that is fucking sick

how can you not like that ?

[Mattysmyth0593]

clean your fingernails

[Elune137]

@Thunderf00t do you have a lab at home?

That's crazy (but cool!)!

I only can compete with a solder station, a UV LED array exposer device and a PCB etching tank...

And some strange things made of plastics having metal legs...(useless stuff: they don't smell well, they don't taste well^^)

[HolyPantsMcTavish]

1:10 'That's what she said'

[ROTFLxLAWL]

so..... can you smoke that shit?

[Robtehman]

Man TF deserves to have a discussion with James Randi.

[Lollocide]

Melted glass always look like a great material to make arty things out of.

[BirdValiant]

Whoever did the labeling made an egregious mistake. It's either cesium or caesium, not "CEASIUM." :P

Egregious, I say! (A professor I had sometimes said that in response to some tiny, mostly irrelevant errors found in textbooks.)

[FanaticTroll]

Lab safety? You pussy!

Fill a bucket with water, throw it in and run like hell.

[Xunkun]

*reads Geller's Wiki article*

He tried to sue POKEMON?!? XDDDDDDDD

[Idolcruisefix]

@PicklePumpers wiegh him, he weighs as much as a duck!

[HeavyPhoton]

When I was in school we smuggled a hole jar of sodium(Na) out of the lab. Ahw, fun nights we had waking everyone at night. All it needed was a puddle of water :)

[jdubbin78]

Booo, pop that Cs in some liquid O2 for fun times.

[crankycactus]

i would pay a pretty penny for a handblown piece by thunderfoot...

[jdubbin78]

@crankycactus no joke man

[JODQ11]

1:24 homemade bongs!

[empacae]

Loved it thunderfOOt. I would like to see more of these types of vids. There could be a show in it.

[pwed546]

i thought the most reactive was francium

[eewEinsteineew]

Francium is very unstable, the most stable francium isotope has a half live of 22 minutes, so it is almost impossible to do something with it.

[twisted45]

meth pipe?

[Atomsk359]

couldn't you work with it in a N2 or Ar glove box?

[Kingzoid]

1:23 What is the name of the song ?

[burningeko]

hey thunderfoot, how the hell do you get such a nice break in your glass? ive tried maybe 20 different methods with 20 different test tubes and i still cant get it to work

[aqwiz]

only if he weighs the same as a duck!

[OchyaKeshii]

Don't give Uri Geller any more ideas...

[Serostern]

@OchyaKeshii I'd love to give him a cesium spoon =D

[DawnLaurene]

Nifty. Better in competent hands than mine... I'd definitely blow something up!

[aqwiz]

only if you dropped it in water

[kapwns]

make meh a new bowl! no cesium tho, thank you. =P

[easymoney1972]

Cesium, possible cancer cure?

[subach]

Let's make an atomic clock!

[crazy4carolyn]

Thundefoot, you're the shiznit! Now, can you help me get over a breakup w/ a devoted christian?!

[pubuman]

stab him/her in the face

[crazy4carolyn]

Don't think that that will solve my troubles, but I appreciate the effort! :)

[eademe]

@crazy4carolyn yea...go out an celebrate

[crazy4carolyn]

That's a wonderful idea! And I will as soon as I am financially able! :)) But..., I'm feeling better and better everyday! Thanks for the thoughts!

[RichardRoy2]

Can you imagine what power Geller would have had if he'd finished school? ;P

[TheToxicVoid]

That is so awesome. You could spontaniously combust ppl if ud let it slide in someones throat >;D

[wheelnutt]

How did they get it into the glass first without it reacting?

[MightyNeonFraa]

A wizard did it.

[AznPersuazn90210]

CODY WEBBER HAS BEEN TAKEN OFF OF YOUTUBE.

That is all.

[Pulsar205]

never seen this metal before. interesting. like gold

[roryoc31]

oooo cesium :)

[ThetaOmega]

Dunk it in water!!!

[Gruegirl]

That'll make a decent Boom.

[angryfishmonger]

Is this really "the most reactive metal" or just the most commonly considered "most reactive?"

[theretard666]

@angryfishmonger There are more reactive metals out there, francium (spelling?) is in the same group, but one further down.

[theretard666]

I believe the description on the video sums it up. "Spot of glass blowing and metling cesium, the most reactive of the stable metals, with 'ones bare hands'!" Francium is far from stable.

[angryfishmonger]

Thank you

[UnstoppableSlinky]

no, the most reactive metal on the whole table is francium

[IterationSoft]

The most reactive metal found in nature, then. Francium has to be synthetically made, and at a very high expense.

[SessileNomad]

lol rave music

[gamegeek2]

he spelled cesium wrong

[etherbingedotorg]

True. It's "caesium," not "ceasium." But I believe it was labeled by someone else; this isn't Tf00t's lab.

[RandomPizzaDude]

I'm not loving the whole new, "lets do Google ads on my youtube videoes" thing that you've got going; they're not even revlivent adverts!

[KarinMikazuki]

keep this metal away from Uri Geller

[AEVautomatic]

he smokes meth now?

[micafonist]

can you make me a custom meth pipe?

[sz42781]

@micafonist Yeh with an extra big bubble and my initials

[MissileExpansion]

Love it. My high school science teacher taught us to work with glass instead of the school constantly buying new droppers.

[invadercheeze]

I wish Chemistry in high school was this cool.

[WTF00912]

thanks for the informative video :)

[ages777]

I agree. This guy would no where meet near lab safety standards in Australia and New Zealand. My dad is a former safety auditor for laboratories.

But I found the video quite educational... at least the Ceasium bit. :)

[unique7777k]

francium?

[pauly555666]

i take it he's a chemist

[D119heavy]

Really cool -- how about getting a bigger sample and recording a vid of exposing it to oxygen? sounds like it'd be fun to watch

[R0o0g3r]

try and bring that on a plane

[ripsnorting13]

i think a white guy could...

[cheeesefunnel]

thunderf00t,..can u make a glass bong for me with that torch?

[tomaf]

in 7th grade my science teacher told my class that one time she was telling a class if she dropped the cesium into water it would explode, and then she accidentally dropped it in and yelled for everyone to get under their desks before it exploded. ;-P or maybe it was another substance beside cesium.

[JaredHutcheson1]

potassium maybe

[xdomaraqx]

Ya Its interesting that its melting point is 28.5 °C or 83.3 °F but also its boiling point is 678.4 °C or 1253.12 °F.

as apposed to iron which boiling point is about 2700 °C or 5000 °F.

[crowbarmario]

lol your glass tubing looks like a couple of bongs XD

[CHZPO3T1C]

This video makes me cringe.

Wear some gloves!

[Psychentist]

Much agreed. He mentions lab etiquette, but his safety protocol is a joke. I hope he at least wore safety goggles when he was blowing the glass.

[sz42781]

@Psychentist at his level, glasses would insuld his skill

[Psychentist]

You're probably right, but an eye injury would insult his vision!

xD

[quirkjerks]

I want some. :(

[jackillac92]

What kind of torch is that? It looks to be oxygen / Acetylene ?

[Mizuki8]

looks more like oxy-propane

[SmoothInstigator]

Where can I buy some?

[gonyea12]

dude! Isn't cesium radioactive!?

[HugoJanKanAl]

133Cs isn't radioactive. All the other isotopes (to my knowledge) are.

[Tairaa2]

There is radioactive polonium present in cigarettes. Don't even worry about it. :P

[oomblikkies]

The title should read: Melting metal using only body heat.

[BW022]

It wasn't body heat which melted it... it was heat created by friction created when he rubbed the glass.

[michielgrillet]

It's molten by the heat of friction like you could melt your brakes on your bike for example

[RadicalWhig]

I enjoy seeing you working in a lab. It's one thing hearing you talk about science and the value of science. It is something else to see you "doing" science.

[Utubeblows]

I love 'doing science' !

[Kingzoid]

Does anyone know the song from 1:23 - 1:29? I've been searching for that for over a decade.

[macronencer]

Ha ha! When the Uri Geller comment popped up, it was exactly what I was thinking at the time :)

[bersaba]

@ macronencer.

Shit clicked "Down" when I meant to click "Up"

[macronencer]

Hey we all make mistakes, no sweat. :)

[Aikosar]

looks like a crack pipe

[nanino09]

Is your finger also hot enough, when you don't rub the glass?

[ihaveopposablethumbs]

It melts for you because you're so hot!! ;)

[BarocaS2]

:D glass blowing is fun

[ShaxDr87]

Amazing.

[bigglebinks]

i think gallium is the same way, it has a very low melting point

[trogdor79]

Miracu-lear!, as GW would have said.

This is absolute proof that you, thy Thunderf00tness, have been given divine powers. Bet you can multiply glass tubing by breaking it off!!! . Tell us, have you ever felt the urge to wander about a desert for a few weeks all by yourself?

Please keep up on uploading videos about science, atheism or good'ol fundie madness.

cheers from Mexico

[slashslashdotdot]

Well, technically Francium is the most reactive of the Alkali metals, but I doubt you'd be able to get a sample :P

[HailRasec]

DO IT

[ZeQiR]

Thunderf00t is a chemist!

Makes me that much more confident going into that field.

[tojiroh]

You are quite deluded.

You get into Chemistry by loving it, not pretending it's what you're born for.

Run. It will eat you.

[ZeQiR]

I do love chemistry, I've loved it since I was a child.

Just makes me happy to know that I have something in common with ThunderF00t.

[Sophiethefembot]

wow fascinating!!! :)

[REALGREYBLUE]

what a trip. The glass does not get hot to your hands?

[Phily911]

It's a miracle!

[Hool39]

Make sure you wear eye protection when doing this.

[bosshog871]

so can u blow a bubble with glass and then let it dry and have a glass bubble?

[Muffinman10123]

Does Francium not count as a natural metal?

[lnstrumentalist]

cesium, sweet!

[howardmeis]

Oh yea for sure was just commenting on how the metal moved similar to how colder mercury does.

I'm pretty sure the oxygen in a tank is flammable :P I have no idea what's in his tank though, I haven't ever researched much beyond knowing glass blowing/shaping owns :D

[PhilosophicalBluster]

Dear YouSpamTard,

Ehh... Chill?

[soopahsoopah]

I bet you could make a nice pipe!

[MrMRmik]

I was just thinking that too.

[Mephistophilus]

That sentence fails on the fact he typed a comment just like "When God was handing out brains you thought he said trains so exclaimed, That's immoral!".

One piece of information? Google: The Wedge Strategy.

[Chuichupachichi]

I was sitting here & I read your comment, of which, I assumed that my inability to comprehend it was due to it being part of an argument that you were having with someone else

Then I went over to my Gmail and low & behold... I came to find it was directed at me? Such is your incoherency! Perhaps, you might like to try that one again?

I can't remember the last time I even thought of trains?

[Mephistophilus]

I saw some claims that were ridiculous and unneeded insults so I called you out and low and behold you shifted the topic. Perhaps you might take the advice in the later portion of my comment and try again? You asked for one piece of evidence and I provided it.

[Chuichupachichi]

"Shifted the topic"?

That's precisely what my last post was about... "what topic"? Something about "brains & trains" that was definitely not within the context of anything from the debate that you cut into

Perhaps, if you'd stop being so mysteriously vague from your delusion of craftiness, you might be coherent. Since I never asked "you" anything, I don't even know what evidence it is you claim that I asked for?

You proved to be a quagmire of confusion

[David578593]

I wanna see Francium...

[TheRunescapehaterz]

That was cool. I want to mess around with some of that stuff some day.

[harriskp]

Seriously, thunderf00t, you rock.

[robertwc82]

its hard to believe all the different substances are made from the same stuff (protons, neutrons ect)

[Chuichupachichi]

Indeed, it's what poses a inexplicable problem & thus far, unanswerable question for materialists. That since we humans and rocks are comprised of the same atoms, why do we have a conscience, while rocks aren't even near to life?

Perhaps, the fact that things have come to questions like that one, is the reason why some Physicists have instead resorted to fantastic tales of unbridled imagination.

That question does make things rather bleak for the materialist naturalist. Scientifically life = ?

[robertwc82]

the problem in my opinion, is that human brains are quite abstract and we created an unanswerable question that is totally non aplicable to science, physics and the universe. that question is "why" the universe is under no obligation to satisfy this question of ours and science will only ever answer questions like "how". when you start asking why you leave science and enter the realm of philosophy. and trying to answer it only creates more questions of why. the universe will always be mysterious

[obscene678]

"Why" will be a never ending theme in science.

[YouSpamTard]

robertwc82, You are correct. Only, abstract thought is not a problem. It makes no difference if the question is who, what, where, when, why, or how, The truly gifted intellectual embraces abstract thought, no matter how bizarre it may be. People like this guy thunderfOOt don't understand science is imagination first. Intellect must respect itself as ignorant. Leonardo da Vinci. Michelangelo, Newton, Einstein, even the modern day guy, Stephen Hawking, all of them live in a world of imagination.

[robertwc82]

yes but science is adept at answering who, were, what aand how. the question why is never ending and unanswerable.

if someone murders someone forensic science can answer the who, physics and chemistry can answer how. there is no disipline that answers why that would be philosophy. im not saying abstract thought is the problem, im saying we invented a concept of why to apply to the intentions of other intelligent creates. "why did you do that"..."because i felt like it".........

[YouSpamTard]

Yes, correct. You are a deep thinker. Excellent. Thank you, for being you. Now, go memorize and say in order several times, until you get a rhythm of the words, Who, what, where, when, why and how. LoL :) Good luck my friend. :)

[robertwc82]

thanks lol

[DragonLowStar1]

what is his degree in chemistry!?!

[SirAlfredSourcock]

You rock, Thunder.

[Eric3575]

Wow lol it would be badass to have u as a science teacher

[madzyzome]

Francium would be more reactive. If you can amass enough of the stuff before it decays away that is.

[meldidnot]

When your Hot ,Your Hot!

[tstansfi]

Chuichupachichi.

You sound like a total twat.

That is all.

[agehanokimi]

That was really interesting to watch. Thank you!

[ApocalypseNow012]

how useless and stupid

[Dhesyca]

That is so cool! I have no other words to express how cool I find that, lol.

[whydid666]

How did you get your hands on the pure stuff?

[Srxjer]

Isn't this the same metal which is used in atomic clocks?

[mikestein5000]

Thanks for crack lab 101!!! JK, :D

[fightforfair]

This crack lab use a lot Gas

Wasting Gas

Gas is our ancestor

[IISharperII]

that is cool :D

[luc59457]

Amongst the negative comments here: Clean your nails thunderf00t, Fake!, Why don't you believe in God?, Why don't you love Jesus? ThunderCrack and stuff of that sort! With a little research you can see those comments composed of mainly creationists. What does talking about god have anything to do with this ? ! LOL

[shawndimery]

Damn you have strange finger nails! Love ya though

[DonnZ0r]

I wonder what copyright was "stepped on" in this video to bring ads in.

[skutre]

It would be great to forge a cesium fork and send it to Uri.

That would really get him hot, eh?

Worse than Jame Randi

[D124k34tw]

Thunderf00t's occupation? Well that's easy, he stomps on ignorance!

[crabbygaz]

Francium?

More reactive, but a bit difficult to find.

[Atheistcat2004]

Doesn't Francium also give of radiation as well when it ignites? I think my Chem. teacher mentioned that when my friends and I were wondering if you could get any of it and if he knew any isolated locations that would be cool for a demonstration :D

[Atheistcat2004]

Course then he shut us down and said that it's impossible to get any of it because it's extremely rare, and the government if you could wouldn't allow you to get any. 8(

[BenchMarkd]

is it sad I saw chuffed I had the same soldering iron as thunderf00t?

[FluffyMuffinMan]

Hey thunderfoot, mind making me a bong?

[F3tusRape]

I'll take one as well.
