Metal-eating "pest" caught on film

[naterd00d]

looks like a pest, it isnt an actual pest lmao

[threecheerer]

this is called tin disease. occurs with beta tin transforming into alpha tin. this is actually interesting, as napoleon couldn't conquer russia due to all of their uniforms being made of beta tin, suffering tin disease in russia's freezing temperatures. their buttons disintegrated, and they were left half naked in the cold.

[Yogurtshop]

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

[AerialTheShamen]

Klaatu is eating SIRI...

[12ThatOneGuy12]

That awkward moment when you come back to a video and you have one of the top comments and then the top comment above you is someone copying what you said 6 months later....

[Thebrawlerguy]

the reason why its called a "pest" is because before this discovery so many people actually beleive that there was some tiype of animal eating the metal.

[KaoGamor]

i thought it was called a goat

[PiersTazzanoot]

Don't mess with Gort!

[penguinato23]

Gee, I seem to have completely missed the pest that's eating that metal. Of course I'm guessing that had to have just been my mistake, cause no one would be enough of a fucking moron to mislead people with a title like that if there was no real creature there, so I'd better restart the video and look for it...

[Convict147]

Oh lol, I misread the title as man eating pest :P

[caseydressup]

It's annoying when the top two comments say the same thing

[tlothetrice]

@caseydressup it's even more annoying when they're both true

[dittocopys]

@caseydressup its annoying when people say that to get top comment

[TrinoElrich]

@nosender obvious thing is obvious

[mywootgarden]

The title is only misleading to those with little understanding of the world.

[InGUNable]

The invisible pest, came from Klaatu's ass

[TeamOfJAR]

I thought it was some kinda of micro-organism eating metal. That ain't no pest, that's a damn chemical reaction! Do you think any kind of organism would exist at -35oC?

[cakefarts]

this looks like the reaction of aluminum when exposed to mercury

[TheRebelman95]

this channel is gay

[pathosbedlam]

Yet another reason why tin is bad as a material for anything that has to last a long time. I wonder if there is any more bacteria out there that can eat oil for oil spills. But I suspect the oil companies would really hate that, but I'd just laugh and laugh. Mainly because then we'd have to go solar or wind etc.

[Quinners1H]

@pathosbedlam Dude, how to you think they clean up oil spills? They add bacteria that can break it down.

[xLeafs2012x]

i thought the title was man-eating "pest" caught on film 

[Dexxxter7780]

So all "tin" decays in cold weather? Its not an organism?

[UncleKennybobs]

@Dexxxter7780 Correct

[TheIncredibleD1701]

Wow the video title is so misleading.

[nazizombiesgirl19]

wow scary!

[MrJohn1966elliott]

Deadly Acid ? or Alien's bugs ?

[AznofHK]

but its not some organism eating it away.. its just the metal degrading at low temperatures =.=

[robinb4life]

if i see this, i realize how cheap technology, i mean One worldwide disaster or CME can destroy all technology.

[DJKloop]

i think its also known as RUST ! jk

[TenkogaOkami]

Didn't Cobra refine this into some type of crazy green shit in the newest movie?

[CascadeFreak]

@TenkogaOkami yeah, some nanobot thingy

[dinicthus]

A tin pest in a teacup?

[TheAzidahaka]

Lol, tin pest it's a problem solved in '800, ignorant.

[StarSpawn06]

now I'd like to see this used as FX in a sci-fi movie :)

[shadowC10ne]

Imagine scientists improve this and you get a weapon to basically send nations to stone-age. Scary. ...or even worse, it gets out of control and destroy all metal objects in the world. Industrial society disappears and humanity is reduced to small tribes. 

[Fenizrael]

Is it just me or is the only mention of "pest" when she says "it looks like the metal is being eaten by an invisible pest"

[TheyCallMeMrHappy]

@Fenizrael and the last sentence.

[Agresif]

@Fenizrael i thought so

[GrimSparky]

We should have used this against Skynet! >:D

[Felhaven]

sure this isnt just mercury acting on aluminum?

[Get0utOfTheMatrix]

If this would have come out earlier.... im sure the american administration would have used that for their Lies.

OSAMA PLANTED SOME EXTREMLY DANGEROUS METAL EATING BACTERIA INSINDE THE WTC... THEY CREATED IT IN SOME CAVE IN AFGHANISTAN.

"Let us tolerate no conspiracy theory"

I hate those so called "Elite".

But Hate sucks .. dkjfdkjfkdlafjkdlfjdklfajfdak

Peace

[Archraveful]

now a new weapon to destroy something.... hehehehehehe

[jokivich55]

i came for footage of monster bug. i got boring science lesson. for shame, youtube.

[freewee21]

@jokivich55 just because it's to small for you to see doesn't mean it's not dangerous or valuable.one more thing is aids dangerous,bet you won't forget that science lesson.

[PirateKing1256]

This is dangerous. House might collaspe

[tanaii1]

t-1000 wont be made out of tin

[600Kilowatts]

Anybody here ever seen "The day the earth stood still"? O_o We need to quit fucking with this stuff, pronto.

[paulhallart]

instead of tin pan alley it's becoming tin pan alloy

[SMGJohn]

Damn, with this we can solve the problem with old cars

[Trackstar800m204]

I think they got full towards the end.

[nonchalantgamer]

What happens if said chemical that caused the metal to deteriorate faster is mixed with liquid nitrogen?

[RAVer2036]

must be one hard pest

[MapleSephiroth]

at just -35 celcius haha

[kizzelproducts]

Not nature just chuck norris breath

[L00NGB00W]

That almost looks like amalgam catalysis.

[12ThatOneGuy12]

Very misleading title :(

[ardotschgi1]

@12ThatOneGuy12 what did you think?

[DeanMalenko]

I read "meat eating pest"

[sapdeis]

cockroaches can live by eating rust.

[krboodhoo]

that's the end to arnold shwarzeneger's metal body

[MrTrollslayer1996]

nomnomnom

[porrsmurfen]

@StreetskaterX FUCK YOU

[meandrocko]

@porrsmurfen you dont know how hard i laughed at that comment :')

[StreetskaterX]

@porrsmurfen Lol, you mad?

[theevilxdocter]

@StreetskaterX shut the fuck up

[RazTheKoyote]

@theevilxdocter Umadbro?

[theevilxdocter]

@RazTheKoyote come at me bro

[chrisstevensjunior]

@theevilxdocter lol

[chrisstevensjunior]

@RazTheKoyote lol

[TheGhost245]

damn nature you scary

[Mone90210]

@TheGhost245 hahahahaha that funny

[CuRlYgIrLy12]

its a female Stephen Hawkins! :D

[AlexB1001]

Did anyone else see the giant bug eat the metal?

[amandachung1]

Aww..i was really expecting to see bugd eat metal ! dang it:(

[FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7]

use this in war

[destoryr776]

this only occurs in below zero tempatures doesnt it?

[Thissiteisapain]

ALCHEMY!!!!!



[andrefilms]

IS SHE STILL WORKING HERE? I HATE HER VOICE! IT IS SO ANOYING!

[FreeRealmsInvader]

OH THE HORROR!

[kalimul]

WTF is the title, i imagined a creature eating metal instead i found out how tin breaks down in nature due to cold temperatures, like i gave a crap, i see steel coroding every day when exposed to the atmosphere.

[Ebdan88]

Fine .....They have find new ways for these Evil Guys to build a new weapons....

What is it they say: People are their own Worse enemy!!? and mostly they put themselfs in gail, without any help. Just play with their mind abet....!!?

[Repudation]

Omgg the Termites are evolving!

[Potemtole]

We need this to happen to all metals and plastics lets go back to the rainforest people.

[sireduardo420]

@Potemtole You can go live with the Rainbow People. I like my computer and modern clothing.

[TherealJasonBay]

@sireduardo420 LOL I love peoples comments XD There so funny and creative! Thanks sireduardo420 LOL

[DarkKnightBob1o1]

Andromeda Strain!

[TheSocietyflawed]

that was just a chemical reaction..

[laxwolf]

Finally, a defense against Skynet!

The war is over before it started!

[inkredyble]

@laxwolf hahah good one

[gilles8602]

@laxwolf LOL you said it!

[tubecontec]

@laxwolf only if skynet is built out of Tin.....but the tinman from wizard of oz would die pretty easy.

[semperfisemperceler]

@laxwolf haha lol

[watawatan0w]

@laxwolf LOL. Hats off to that one:D!

[ShiznitXD]

@laxwolf but it only works on tin O.O hopefully the terminators are made of tin

[ThleTruth]

@laxwolf hahahahah...thats tin, not titanium

[laxwolf]

@ThleTruth I know, but it's just a joke :)

[ThleTruth]

@laxwolf give it about 50 years and the jokes on you :)

[gevelegian]

@laxwolf Only thing is, when robots do get very efficient, THEY WON'T BE MADE OUT OF METAL!!! Oh teh noes!

[lagas5]

@laxwolf But dont you think skynets defenses from us would be quiet sophisticated? Skynet could know about this video; your comment and protect it self with constant heating?

[laxwolf]

@lagas5 Well, sir. You are obviously an... INSIDER AT SKYNET. NO.

[kozmon0t]

@laxwolf skynet's not gonna be making stuff out of tin

[TheBMCTelvision]

@laxwolf Now, if you can just run from homicidal robots in alaska while spraying them with chemicals for 30 hours... You'll be all right and ready to go!!! :D

[TeenageIronman]

@laxwolf It only works with tin and im pretty sure that robots will be built with cabonfibers or steel...

[laxwolf]

@TeenageIronman It's funny how people try to fight my comment with predictions. It's a joke, for a laugh obviously.

[TeenageIronman]

@laxwolf im not fighting im just correcting you now you learned something

[farem101]

where and what kind of pest was that?

[Einstreit]

We need plastic eating germs.

Them we can have some fun.

[kozeel]

@Einstreit And then my friend, we will have other problems. There won't be any plastic left at all :)

[Repudation]

This kicks the Big Bad wolf's ass

[gyani]

her voice is soo annoying!!!!

[CombatArms1st]

Yes we can use this in wars

[ericberner]

Americans use the metric system in Science. We keep gallons because we can. Americans like gallons. We don't want to buy gas by the liter, Dig? Dig! Ciao.

[dhbiza]

They used celsius!!! Why didnt they convert that to fahrenheit??? Those stupid countries that use the metric system really tick me off.

[Varanor]

@dhbiza

You mean, every single country in the world but Burma, Liberia and the US? Maybe that they prefer to rely on a decent, modern and smarter system. Almost every US scientists had been using it themselves, that's not without good reasons.

Now for the "why didn't they convert it", the US are not the center of the world. They only count for less than 5% in the global population. Eventually they will adopt it, anyway, it's only a matter of time. It's called evolving.

[lordblazer]

@Varanor

are we talking about the metric system. Well in US education you learn both if you goto a decent secondary school that is.. Once in University, everyone has to take atleast 1 science course no matter what your degree is so you learn the mtric system going through university. Too many people though are too lazy to retain the information they learn. I actually enjoy the use of the imperial system though. It makes the US unique and interesting. Especially in the 21st century :D

[Varanor]

@lordblazer

No offense to be taken off my harsh words, it was only aimed to the insulting and ethno-centered nature of Dhbiza' comment.

However, I do believe you indeed, but being not officially recognized in the US, people won't use it on a daily basis by themselves, because they are used to imperial labelled tools and measures (I suddenly feel the urge to watch Pulp Fiction).

Not that I really care about which system is used though, I just don't like narrowminded people such as Dhbiza. :)

[lordblazer]

@Varanor

ooo lol. white supremacist always post on my profile page most of my vids are about either multiculturalism, and sometimes the challenges of what black people deal with in the US or usually about japan... either way I'm tired of dealing with ignorant people who loe being ignorant soo I just block them from my profile now. anyway ironically enough I was watching pulp fiction before reading this comment.

[dhbiza]

@Varanor Yes you have it right. Look athe the third country you list...the US. that is all that counts. Yes we are only 5% of the worlds population...but we feed 99% of the worlds population. You America haters have to address that fact with me before you go spouting off how we are only 5% but consume X% of the oil and X% of the energy and X%of everything else. We feed, we liberate, in effect...we are a gift to the world.

[Varanor]

@dhbiza

What? ...

Food in the US rely from 5 to 15% to importations. Also, global trade balance of the US is the world negative largest (-350 billions $), so you basically rely economically to the rest of the world.

And the last time I checked, the US counted only for 25% of world economy, less than the European union (28%).

No hating toward the US here, I do like this country. I'm just negatively judging a poor system of measures and despising your xenophobic and ethnocentric comment.

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

It's not even bloody caught on film......

[MichaelNinetyFour]

@chesterngiamzhenghao ? o.O

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

like in GI JOE the warheads

[TeReffleese32]

meehi like older men! Dont ask meh why i am telling you this

[ONE1MAN1ARMY]

lol creating metal eating weopons when will this shit end

[think4everyone]

y dont u find the opposite chemical of the corrosive chemical ya dumb fuck

[SearchTechnology]

THAT is why the EU will be facing law suits to the tune of BILLIONS in the future. They FORCE lead free solder with a high tin content to be used in automotive safety critical systems. When someone dies as a result of a catastrophic failure, they should sue the EU.

Let's use their stupid laws against themselves.

Lead free = death in a different way!!

[threelegduck]

shared electrons in the d orbitals, no chemical reaction

[Mrpsychotehpyro]

Its an effect that damages old electronics that suffered from low quality soldering and/or bad storage/use conditions like humidity and temperature.

My father taught me soldering at a very young age and it always was : Boy...do it properly...avoid the tin pest by all means!!!!

[idiotbox1223]

very interesting. if it is a pest what does it expel as waste then i wonder?

[MegaHazzer123]

its not really an actual pest, they just say that because thats what they used to call it before it was known that it is actually when the atoms of tin chemically change and go from metallic bonding to covalent bonding

[idiotbox1223]

huh, okay, thanks :) that makes sense

[hobeeorchid]

amazing!

[zekonja24]

Gold :)

[Zvesda]

The Day the Earth Stood Still.

[biggdaddy2001]

only in the uk does this happen lol

[vireak209]

30hours is fast to break down metal. Pretty impressive cuz it takes moths or years to break down solid metal. even i its just a few inches.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

so what does it actually do? it looks like it's oxidizing or something but I don't know what I'm seeing.

[Thisismynameffs]

yeah,its a green,metal devouring worm

[yokoko0216]

wow i think you are the stupid one, way to repeat what the whole clip was explaining, and that you cannot spell for your life lol

[LindaTrang888]

that was quick!

[DrLsw]

it look like it was time lapsed and it was only 1mm wide

[part2themovie]

im sure you feel pretty clever, lying over the internet, because u believe and dont believe in god. ur the dumbass, dumbass.???.. :( so juvenille, at least u dropped the caps

[Kawabic]

Anybody who's studies the way humans communicate would know that slight repetitions in things would indicate slight levels of violence or sometimes known as "fighting speech"

Your smiley faces indicate that you're trying to be annoying.

[LocoSwede]

if you LISTEN she clearly says its a CHEMICAL

[LadyDinz23]

and i thought there's a bug that eats metal!! the titles r really strange at times!!

[iamqqqqqqq]

And the Tin Man just shat himself

[spacemangoes]

looks like a paper burning!

[psinet32]

"A chemical trick to speed up the process"? no info here

[tomhsharky]

From the article:

 ...by seeding the tin with a cadmium-telluride powder.

The powder has a similar crystal structure to alpha-tin, which encourages the metallic beta-tin to become its fragile alter ego by shoving the atoms into a new arrangement.

When the researchers cooled the seeded metallic tin to -35 °C it flipped into alpha-tin in about 30 hours.

[psinet32]

Pest is a strange word to describe electrochemical processes.

[JonB83]

i bet that woman just made up that term as well as her weird-ass voice.

[heyawhaw]

@JonB83

Because that's what you would do?

[spiderman1321]

the woman sounds like she is talking from a goldfish bowl on the moon

[sashimifr]

@spiderman1321 XD

[curtisstom]

@spiderman1321 maybe she was lol

[MrDemhater]

@spiderman1321 LOL

[qmeche123]

@spiderman1321 Dam man. That's harsh.

[Nobody1313131313]

@spiderman1321 Aha, - so I am not the only one to ask - why did they employ this particular narrator? Others also feel it a strange decision.

[spiderman1321]

every one knows TIN PEST he lives in my cupboard

[SouthEastAsiaNews]

tin pest? WTF? Since when has their been anything called "Tin Pest"?

Very weird

[mrJingling]

The end of the world is coming, this looks liek Tiberium from CnC O_o strange this eats metal, if it will escape he will eat everything thas build of metal, nice everythign will be destroyed xD

[wormluvshorses]

ahh shitt its the same lady that did the "mysterious dead water effect"

[jimexmore]

you are the dumb boy i ever seen you are dumb it fack lol you thought it was real lololololol

[nicolas555539]

good point they makeing it up to scare you lol. haha you thought it is real lolololololol

[Seannaz453]

have you seen the original?

[DeadApostrophe]

I didn't see it.
