How to turn "water" into marbles

[cosmic915]

Great! Now we can all swallow marbles and lose our water! JK XD

Great vid I need to try this one day!

P.S. I know, you can't drink that stuff... right?

[FrenchVampire005]

so cool!!!

[iafala]

lol the spoon xD

[calistabieber]

wow, i gotta try it!!!

[AsianHacker0123]

thumbs up for the music

[thewatev00x]

is this real??

[emtpedro1]

some say fake ill try and report back

[blahhh164]

how the hell ami supposed 2 get calc. bicarb. ?!?!?

[idealspark]

very cool

[snaredrummer4231]

you can buy this stuff at store. it's pretty cool. however, the statement that it depolarizes when it hits the air is pretty false. The marbles are always present in the solution, they just have the same lucidity as water so they don't appear present

[hannibanani927]

awesome! im going 2 try this now :)

[toinadams]

Nice - but your titles are really hard to read sometimes....

[sanity93]

Ok, it took me three goes but now I have my [-CH5-CH(LOONi)-]n polymer stable, I had to replace calcium bicarbonate with calcium carbonate (antacid).

[sleepy1904619]

ima make some out of kool aid and sell them to Popables candy shit lol

[greatdrawer1234]

I have a question, does it ever melt? Or does it stay the same forever?

[abusivewhale1]

@thegrayhatter Yeah, its just spheres that have the same index of refraction as water.

[thegrayhatter]

All the ingredients can be found at a grocery store. It's a pretty simple experiment to do, so why not just do it like Nexnaught said? But, yea, stumbled from GA. This is pretty amazing and I can wait to do this in front of some naive spectators.

[StandardofPurity]

Who would go through all this fucking trouble to do this? Go for a walk or something

[jujubeelu]

thats awesome

[Matthouseman7]

honestly, i was so stoked to do this. but f ck all you guys. total bull-sheet. f ck f ck f ck you nikkybt. you are a huge fag. suck on ball sack. I'm so pissed. props on the hoax you douche bag mother f ck. slippery spheres.i know your secret. eat cock.

[StevieG1066]

Oi, I'm a chemistry student, and I'm a little curious how these reactions all lead to the spheres... I'm kind of confused. xD

[jaboc1994]

how long do they last?

[mauricebnixon]

Wicked dude!!!

[Rubelicious]

So is it ioDized salt or ioNized? Check out 1.10, you seem unclear.

[badboy2o0o0o]

@Rubelicious also, how can you have Ionized salt seeing as how salt is an Ion anyway?

[DAHS24]

thats sweet

[bectemma5000]

if it combines with its self y on gods green earth does it go in a marbil shape shouldn't it be in a hand cup shape the way u picked it up

[thefunnyguyx3]

Guys, you can get these things at the market or whatever. But don't say it's fake cause it's not, you can make them this way too.

[liverpulze]

super fake.. u can get these small slimy balls from the market. brilliantly done video.

[zigzaging11]

...:O omgee i'm in awe!

[Envergure]

Dude, check your spelling! Ionized salt is completely different from iodized salt (one prevents goitre and the other sets you on fire).

[asdeg222]

solid balls dirty

[MikeGasm]

we did this in physics, I thought it was because the light refraction is exactly the same as it is in water, so you can't see them because there's no change in the light's speed as it travels through it.

[SledgeHammer12340987]

how long does it last?

[astaartystka]

can you add food coloring to get color?

[xoSTARZox]

@astaartystka yea, you can

[poisenfrog7]

1:40 looks like a milkshake

[tdaXtda]

what is calcium bicarbonate and how can i get it?

[softy1000]

@tdaXtda It's also known as baking powder, available at any grocery store. ;-)

[masscrass]

nikkybt, I would say that everybody is copying it because it's really cool. Be proud :D

[SkeletonMr]

that is so kickass

[algis80]

hey!!! what are u taking about this ball can be bought u put them in water they absorb the water and turn into those things really boring -_-

[daigura1997]

@algis80 ever thought thats hwo they r made then dried out?

[lilmikey20091]

what is the degrees for the stove when you boil it??

[brennao10]

SPOON FAIL 1:41

[zKATRYNz]

Thats so awesome!

[lalagushoru123]

where can u get calcium bicarbonate

[Optimusprimerib]

"Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2), also called calcium hydrogen carbonate, does not refer to a known solid compound; it exists only in aqueous solution containing the ions calcium (Ca2+), dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2), bicarbonate (HCO3), and carbonate (CO32). The relative concentrations of these carbon-containing species depend on the pH; bicarbonate predominates within the range 6.36-10.25 in fresh water."

[OiiiMate]

"add one spoon" LOL

[Captains07]

Last time I checked (correct me if I'm wrong, been a couple years since chemistry) but don't you mean Calcium Carbonate in 1:01? I thought Calcium Bicarbonate is a liquid form?

[emtpedro1]

i have a science project this is perfect

[doseiaisha]

amazing!!!

[petheana]

thats cool!!!

[magicmanfromtexas]

is it safe to drink? I can see how this would be a VERY useful part of one of my routines...

[leade0]

its cool but would you drink it

[Nexnaught]

Guys before u say it's fake u should actually try it in front of your disbelieving eyes

[froggyfreak123]

How can you turn this into question for a science project that you can test?

[snapshotmediauk]

That is very cool! I would do that if I knew what half the ingredients were.

[xetherealx]

SO interesting. I'm trying this tomorrow. Do you know if there is a major difference between using liquid Calcium bicarbonate and liquid?

Thanks!

[grammiesgoodgravy]

Cool , im going to try it

[xoxrelientkxox]

This is awesome. Nice video. :)

[skimboley]

1:42 HAHAHAHAHA agree?

[handsop]

where can i find calcium bicarbinate?

[zx6rtt]

if i use the water afterwards to make coffee, will i die?

[cokeme002]

HAHA funny when the spoon fell =))

[synchrohal]

that is pretty cool!

[sprayframe]

so if you tried to drink this stuff youd choke?

[SuperTopmaster]

neat

[chris909cool]

cool you know how to do this

[marktheassss]

do you need calcium bicarbonate for it to work?? plz answer

i really wanna try this...

[Reitoufication]

wait so would this be a hybrid between two states of matter?

[MasacruRo]

AWEOSME ! must try lol

[justthatcrazy]

what is calcium acetate and bicarbonate

[reesecups03]

why would you post this? now i have to try it!!!! damn... lol

[AEROAEABER92]

so the chemicals make the balls

[hanadulsarutobi]

what happens if you put it in a table for example??

[Preeminent09]

That is awesome dude.

[LaurMc89]

thats actually class!! love stuff like this! :)

[MasterDewayne]

ok so u do this but how do u get rid of it

[lilieblossom]

hahahaha

[MarioMaster424]

if its real its AWSOME! but i really cant tell.

[mikejmcc1970]

of course its real! People really don't know shit about science to they. But I'll bet every one this board can tell all kinds of useless shit about their preferred religion.  What a waste of brain power.

[checkplus]

@mikejmcc1970:

Seconded. Science is useful, and shouldn't be so mysterious to people. Especially now.

[hiperanimefreak]

wow are you really comparing science to religion? XD learn to type correctly before you call every one reading your swill stupid. fake. and why doesn't the water change to marbles when its sitting in the bowl? why does it change back when its back in the water? and why did the water magically go from clear after boiling to pink? have you any real, intelligent basis for the statement that this is real and were all dumb as you say?

[aquillacute]

Now that's magic for Science Chemistry. :)

[Teknobard357]

Where on earth would I find calcium bicarbonate???

[wef3838]

calcium bicarbonate is the iodized salt.

[JorickHorn]

I've made these before. It's not the water that's becoming solid. They're a gelatinous crystal that has the same index of refraction as water, so when they're dropped in the water they are invisible. This recipe is a wild goose chase. What they're claiming this is video of doesn't exist.

[fragbagger]

Yep. Index of refraction. look it up.

[JDRobZombieFan]

nice use if intellegence !

[the1clothes1peg]

You can see the balls floating in the water at 2:30. FAKE

[loop996]

coglione se non hai capito il liquido a contatto con l'aria si depolarizza! grazie al cazzo che ci delle protuberanze! fino a prova contraria l'acqua non è sottovuoto!!! Stupid Man!!

[TheXRealXBrapp]

you ftw!

[tigres111555]

fuk u all says its fake its actually true

[F34R4L3X]

Epic fail at 2:30 the marble falls out of the container and bounces away on the right side

[MasterDewayne]

how is that a fail

[SanksBlue]

realy nice fake....

but this is unpossible

[OneOddDuck3]

unpossible? LOL! Yeah, I'm just going out on a limb here and say that you probably are NOT a credible source. Yes, it's very possible. It's science.

[erikmartin2]

It is a liquid with the same refractive index as the glass balls.

[Dragracing101]

Look at 2:05 there are already marbles in the water. I call fake.

[DogzGirl]

cool! I'm gonna try that!

[damienjameszimbrick]

wait since this is just mostly water and salt could u put it in ur mouth and be fine?

[xXCptCharlesXx]

Ridiculous.

[ELEPHANTBREATH]

actuaally, i just tried it and suprisigly it worked.

[gymnasticsstar12345]

FAKE

[perromexican0]

can u use normal salt ? ps anser back

[bdgrunnet]

yea. its pretty cool. but fake. u can see the marbles thru the liquid in the light

[bdgrunnet]

you see the one that fell out of his hand onto the table??

IT BOUNCED!!

[Xjak]

Dude that is so freaking cool, I just tried it and the liquid just turns into orbs right away! WTF Love this vid post some more!

[formless777]

If you squeeze them will they pop ?

[playfulpixie21]

P.S. Google aqua-gems and you'll see what I mean...

[TheNikeNOW]

if you dumped the cup of that liquid on the table onto the table... would it just form a bunch of the beads... that would be cool...

[mrsrizk]

Very elaborate - but why? It's just refraction - you can do this with cottonseed or yellow wesson cooking oil. I just saw this demonstrated with a test tube inside a beaker. Cool party trick though...

[MackG99]

IT IS FAKE HE IS USING A CERTAIN TYPE OF MARBLE THAT BLENDS IN WITH THE WATER THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS IONIZED SALT ( it is iodized and i'm pretty sure you cant get calcium bicarbonate in crystalline form)

[sunshine96001]

umm yeah there is. I have Idonized salt in my cupboard

[bearandwoot]

Does it melt?

[LCRUSHABLENET]

At 2:03 It is yummy. Very good toy.

[thejordan01]

that is AWESOME

[TheBatman1337]

This only appears to turn the water into marbles. He has created a substance that has a refractive index near that of water making the edges of the balls very difficult to distinguish.

[Tedr0]

idk what was cooler, the chemistry or the back beats

[dableakers]

There's an easier way to do this.

1. Go to your local florist and buy hydrophilic polymer beads. Sometimes called water marbles. Make sure you get the clear type so that they're difficult to see in water.

2. Soak a small amount of beads in water for several hours. The beads will float to the top.

Ta da.

[dableakers]

Sorry. They won't float to the top, so you'll have to fill the whole container with the gel beads to get the effect. You can see that there are many gel beads in the container at 2:09.

[gorillazhead]

That's exactly what I did, the first few minutes are steps to create the polymer beads...

[dableakers]

Ah, no. You didn't.

Oh wait, didn't you say it had something to do with polarity? I guess that was wrong then?

Can you tell me what type of polymer you might have created? Why would the resulting polymer only form perfect spheres of uniform size and only on exposure to air? If air is the key, why are there obviously many spheres already in the solution?

The more pertinent question is why am I spending my time on this when I could be doing some real science?

[aidinnz]

This video is known to be a HOAX. Sorry to burst your bubble... or should I say marbles. WHY?

1- Because you cannot just "get some Calicum Bicarbonate" as it is not a stable compound, therefore what you see in the video cannot exist. Furthermore, Calcium Bicarbonate is not solid, so what you see in the video is not Calcium Bicarbonate.

2- The temperatures in the video are not mentioned (to boil, etc.). The temperatures you need to boil these material cannot be achieved on the oventop.

FAKE!!

[gorillazhead]

How long did it take you to look through the dictionary for those big words?

Of coarse it's real, Calcium Bicarbonate that has been stabilized comes in the form of

A POWDER...

Also, are you fucking blind.

Look at 1:39

BOIL FOR ABOUT 7 MINUTES...

[aidinnz]

aww did i burst your bubble? hahaha you're an idiot buddy. 1:39 any mention of a temperature? any mention of the temperature to cool the first mix down just before? NO... didnt think so, so apparently you're the blind one since you couldn't read what I wrote. also, you're retarded, or you'd know this is not real... maybe try doing the experience yourself once instead of smoking crack.

[bourky93]

He said boil...unles you don't know how to boil something that is a very stupid statement to make

[conor8090]

did you know water boils at a certain temperature and all fridges are around the same temperature think before you ask

[H4M15H]

knew that salty water boils at a different temperature?

[gorillazhead]

Fucking retard.

and what part of PUT INTO FREEZER FOR 10 MINUTES don't you comprehend?

Get off of the internet if your going to be an asshole to people whoa re actually making a point.

[bourky93]

And it's not fake. I was able to get these results with the things listed in the video and followed the steps... unless you have proven it to be fake with practical evidance (which you can't since many people have done this by watching this kid) then shutup.

[gorillazhead]

So, this isn't like the jelly marbles, it's always water when it's together?

So it feels like water when you touch it in the glass or what?

[Mattzhat]

were can you find the calcium bicarbonate? i have been looking but i cant find it.

[manqinima]

what the hell is lonized salt?

[DurchgeknalltKinder]

this is so fucking awsome

[iansfish]

lol look at 2:32 one bounces away!

[DogzGirl]

That is soooooooo AWESOME! I'm sooo gonna try it!

[JugglingUnicycler]

Is this real?

[grahammoorhead]

I can't say for sure if the steps provided would give you them.

You can actually buy these really cheap, look up "Jelly Marbles - Clear Spheres" or go to watch?v=bzsvR3vH2Oo to check them out.

[ShitTalkinDandylions]

stumble!

[zeto1088]

stumble u.u

[shiny144]

STUMBLE!!!

[Seriousity222]

stumble!

[spookymcfuzzy]

y is house ur blue?

[Mrcoolguy55555]

you dirty dick basterd i messed up my pot doing that you suck fucker

[CazerX]

mean you didn't stir enough, Mrcoolguy :)

[Mrcoolguy55555]

hey i havent completely finished it yet but before i do can you use apple cider vinerger cause were out of regular

[hogsfordawgs]

Fuck you

[YoungestChild]

this where bubble tea come from? i think those ingredients are edible...

[fsujci]

stumble!!

[forbbbi]

check with your own science teacher,

[xR3C0NxMUNK3YxTH1NGY]

This is on best of youtube

[TheBroken8Ball]

Can you PLEASE make a video where you squeeze one really hard

[aegisfate117]

I'm stu-stu-stumblin'

[theankecc]

O_o

[cheaterkidki]

marbles of water babies?

[brownsugarpoptart123]

thts really cool but it's so confusing and difficult i tried it 3 times but i keep failing can u make the procedure clearer?

[Colaborators]

i think you got your ingrediants wrong thatsd not calcium bicarbonate thats calcium carbonate because calcium bicarbonate has a hydrogen molecule and is in a liquid form

[nikkybt]

Calcium bicarbonate if exposed to temperatures high enough,forms the powder,or "crystals" that are also seen on sodium acetate's.

[DrWillumz]

AWESOME!

[2e0raf]

that is cool!!!

[nikkybt]

This is the original video,for some odd reason people seem to copy it.Please help me stop that!

[jamual8]

isnt really water, but solid liquid. LOVE this vid, good work, all my 5.

[goozaneh]

Worked great for me! I added potasium sulfate instead of calcium bicarbonate, works fine, anyone for whom it failed is doing it wrong.

[MrPiMpLiCiOuS]

this shit is fucken lame the guy who made this can eat my chocolate pimpsauce

[greg97527]

clear spheres look'em up

[inthesafe]

How long does it stay like that?

[therealMrL]

is it safe to put in your mouth?

[dryice1337]

Calcium bicarbonate has no solid form as far as I know, but I hear adding water or something to carbonate works, unless you mean SODIUM bicarbonate.

[12inchsimzy]

wkd

[NOHOMOSLVRL7]

To make these chemical reactions work you need to measure out precisely the mass of the substance in grams if not it cannot react. For this you need to use moles to be able to measure the correct ammount out for the chemical reaction to take place

[strikashado]

Hmm, this is all about the polarity of water, right? This kind of reminds me of alchemy...

[MegaLol555]

where do you get calcium bicarbonate and can you use table salt and rice viniger????

[nvrmined]

its not an actual chemical. look up the wikipedia page

can you keep the liquid? if so where do you put it and do you need a lid?
