Liquid Metal Gallium Alloy Galinstan - Looks like Mercury!

[AiAiTheMonkey]

How many grams is that drop of galinstan?

[taufiq251262]

the spoon meting trick is very nice. i want to ask that how can i get gallium to make such spoon for trick.kindly replyme. thanks

[ferencproject]

I don't want to be annoying, but can you please please please please please please please please please please get some sodium and throw it in water? and make video about it?

[membola]

Is this just gallium or is there something else in it?

[ERTLPFM]

@membola Gallium/Indium/Tin alloy

(from the description)

[TheSuperiorTurtle]

Still probably try and avoid touching it :D

[Tutorializer100]

go and spend the penny

[0126achang]

omg that match part was awesome lol

[100alexdel]

If you lived in a hut at someplace really hot gallium would be liquid at room tempature

[Ilovelazers]

gallium is NOT liquid at room temperature. it melts in hot water! dimwit

[KEwlIEoMAn7698]

@Ilovelazers Melt's at 100F. And it's an alloy of 2 other metals..

[polacotf2]

welcome to the cancer

[xeltatmani]

Now i get what was evil robot made from in Terminator 2.

[Scitech101]

Gallium, unfortunately, turns into a brick in colder climates.

[MasterXxploder]

buy a bunch of sodium and throw it in water. I bet you could make a great video about that!

[styropyro]

@MasterXxploder I actually have a bunch of videos of sodium. When I was 14 or so I acquired 800 pounds of sodium and made a bunch of videos with it. The video quality isn't great though so I haven't posted them.

[snipesnrifles]

@styropyro 800lbs HOW?!?!

[diapysik]

@styropyro YOU ACQUIRED 800! POUNDS OF SODIUM JUST A QUESTION WHAT THE HELL MAN!

[mcwario13]

@styropyro can you post them anyways for your subscribers?

[Blackops981]

@styropyro 800 pounds? Do you live near a salt flat?

[Wilson1592]

@styropyro How does a 14 year old get 800 pounds of sodium...

[mcwario13]

@Wilson1592 You make it dumbo...

[airsoftboy62]

go to ebay and get some gallium

[Rubikorigami]

where I can buy Galinstan?

[bearpatch626]

what happens when you pass a current threw it?

[bearpatch626]

were can i get sum? how much

[BassLoverDude]

So thats how Mirrors are maide, it always confuses me that xD

[aahrg1234567890]

@BassLoverDude no its not.. its liquid at room temperature it would melt off

[BassLoverDude]

@aahrg1234567890 Right.....confused still

[BlackFireNL]

look likes tin

[dunlrock]

is gallium toxic?

[CrazyforDarkness]

@dunlrock nope

[Sprite7z]

thumbs up if u never heard a thing such as Galinstan

[wung97]

The best part is lighting up the match with a laser!

[Sento35]

put that in a microwave lol jks

[bazzarr]

Galinstan reacts with dlithium crystals preventing them from regulating warp fields. FYI.

[MetroDET2011]

It is not expensive it is $7.00 for an ounce

[Deathpool35]

when I read the title, i read Liquid Metal Trivium Atreyu and Godsmack

[msupermario7]

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT....there a mirrors with this stuff on the back?? hmmm...could I maybe scrape it OFF and play with it or is it NOT on mirrors and you just said that :c

[origamimoonXO]

0:40 WOAAAAAAAH :D

[hoblywobly]

the reason i like your AWESOME videos is cuz u dun talk

[styropyro]

@hoblywobly finally someone who doesn't complain that I don't talk ha ha

[icetman123]

@styropyro ppl like it when u dont talk. if you know what AMRS or that feeling that u get when for feel tingly and relaxed thats why ppl like that. i am one of those ppl. i like you videos

[Zenshiro14]

@styropyro i agree i think it best when person does not talk :)

[chickenpoper]

Damn! That unicorn must of eaten and MickyD's every day!

[isomikieee]

looks like solder

[xXspeedfreakXx1]

Great video

[yomammalockin]

bro im pretty sure that liguid metal mercury

[ShadowMaker0]

@yomammalockin funny guy ^_^

[mohamedgna]

how much did that drop cost you?

[kittykatro]

so, if it's not toxic, can you eat it?

[Chiliplease]

it becomes a true liquid at around 85 F

[gangsterdirter]

7 persons think the earth isnot round

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

novel metal alloys look it up its the future

[RyuDarragh]

@TheAngryBeans: No. The metal is chemically similar to Iron, but Iron is the preferred metal so it's used in preference to Gallium instead. However, even though it's non-toxic, it is mostly inert and would be about as sensible to drink as candle wax or beach sand. It could still cause severe intestinal upset.

[LipeNoda]

0:41 omg! amazing

[superultramegaman5]

why would you poke and prod it with a qtip? wouldn't you lose some of the alloy that way? instead using say, a glass rod perhaps?

[miceskin]

So I can play with it and put it in my mouth????? yay!!

[XxxFrX8xxX]

lol

sounds like someone having S3X

@ 0:32

[lightbulbcollector1]

where can i get such components at?

[eddypikachu]

how much does galinstan cost?

[MonksteinSpunky]

Wat the hell how did the lazer burn the thing what is that thing anyways

[dabomb676]

ur vid sucks it takes soo long to load

[TsukiRockerBoy]

@dabomb676 It's your slow computer that sucks. I have no problem at all.

[wasitrealy]

@dabomb676 Your internet sucks, the video started straight away when I click the videos then the lighter light-red bar bit was loaded in about 10 secs so I can view all of it in real-time.

Haha my internet is so cheap as well (it's actually FREE) so I don't se any problem you loading it, just try refreshing the page...

[frecuenciajuaniyo]

its look like a hot tin/lead alloy used in electronic's soldering...

[kghsbassboy]

gallium melts in your mouth yes? yummy. does it kill you if it does? probably so but still...

MMMM THE METAL THAT MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH!

[TheOutdoor101]

i love your laser

[C20rules]

Awesome

[mevtabmer]

i want buy it

where to buy real mercury?

[dukilaki]

@mevtabmer mercury ih hightly poisonus

[TheNuclearWatermelon]

can it replace mercury in florescent tube lamps of CFLs?

[cdoftx]

@TheNuclearWatermelon nope, two entirely different concepts. Its all about the spectra they produce, not their melting point.

[mevtabmer]

@TheNuclearWatermelon it in steam

i need liquid metal

[kohit7]

toxic?

[buttholeinspace]

A new toy!

[5904ceker]

That alloy looks like the alloy guy from the movie Terminators Judgement Day

[jcmorse563]

whats the freezing point?

[dukilaki]

@jcmorse563 it frizes ih household fridge

[douro20]

Galinstan is used in new fever thermometers made by Geratherm. The glass on the inside is coated with a layer of gallium oxide a few microns thick to keep the alloy from wetting the glass.

[TheGoodInventor]

Hg + Sn = what you have got

[GoodDay2YouSir]

where did you get the LAZER!!!

[thishasgottobecrazy]

What laser was that?

[theazn07]

where'd u get the laser? lol

[bestamerica]

wow

[MrGoogfan]

fail

[ShyahDog]

wow

[akhil1996kc]

awsome

[randomlugia]

Does the liquid indium you get from pharmacies work?

[vmelkon]

@randomlugia They don't sell indium metal at pharmacies. Perhaps you are talking about solution salt of indium.

[randomlugia]

@vmelkon Oops I'm thinking iodine.

[elcochipit]

Nice science video.

Never heat mercury !! It will boil into mercury gas wich is extremely poisonus!!

[Ninjaz27]

@elcochipit

its not mercury o_o

[tsallstar10]

kinda looks like soder

[localboyKealii]

I heard that if you heat mercury up hot enough it turns into a powder is this true?

[lacrossehomie11]

No it will turn into a gas that is extremely toxic

[anthcybo]

@localboyKealii

It turns into gas, and it is very poisonous. There's no conventional over that will heat mercury enough for it to become gaseous though.

[vitorix24]

where u find it?

[Ninjaz27]

where did u get ur galinstan from?

[styropyro]

@Ninjaz27

I made it from the component elements I bought off of a forum Group Buy.

[loris2bastia]

tié heureux ?

[hsvkidusa]

sorry..no point to my last comment..

gallinstan might be worth giving a try..gotta see where i can find it

[styropyro]

It is much cheaper to just buy gallium, Indium, and Tin separately and just mixing them than to buy gallinstan.

[hsvkidusa]

mercury is my FAVORITEE element..always has for years now i collect it out of old stats and blood pressure moniters

[wvin2008]

Hey, What Video Editing program do you use for the subtitles?

[fordieform]

i came @ laser reflection

awesome vid i remember playing wif mercury in my hand as a kid...

-hero

[Superduperhog]

metallic goo... Looks fun haha

[deimos2k6]

wow fantastic material...

[ChemXu]

I'd rather stick to just plain gallium, melting it in your hand is fun! :D

[styropyro]

Same here, it takes forever to melt in the hand though.

[ChemXu]

rub it!

[hovo327]

lol how much would let's say....a quart of this stuff cost?

[nikokapo]

LOL; you used the battery holder from DX!

Nice stuff, man :)

[styropyro]

I'm surprised somebody noticed!

[jaseth1337]

Nice video! Have you used this for FS mirrors for your lasers?

See you at LPF :)

[styropyro]

Not yet, but I'll give it a try sometime.

[ExplosiveScience]

It is easy to tell it isn't mercury because of how it sticks to stuff and the fact that it has a skin, mercury won't stick to anything and forms compact little beads, very cool video.

[lolimnoteighteen]

he only said first glance it isnt easy to tell

[styropyro]

Yeah I said first glance, after messing with it is pretty obvious. Mercury is more fun IMO but it is too toxic to just have sitting around.

[ExplosiveScience]

Yes, I agree, that stiff is pretty sketchy, first glance there is quite a similarity. But cool video, five stars.

[QuarterSticks]

how much does it cost?

[styropyro]

Depends how much you buy, I bought this in small quantities where the gallium was $2.50 a gram and the Indium was $1 a gram. If you look around and buy bigger amounts you can get it for a decent amount cheaper.

[agentgfh]

must... resist... urge to fake mercury spill at school...

[evilmonkey1453]

This was one of your best videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evilmonkey1453

[styropyro]

Thanks! I'm planning on adding some more stuff like this in the future to broaden my topics of videos so they aren't just about lasers.

[RcUniverseGuy]

i think we can tell who posted the coment without you saying your name at the end...

[billg519]

Nice! This also works with just the gallium and indium, easily stays liquid at room temperature.

[styropyro]

The reason why I have this is because I accidentally mixed my gallium and indium, giving me a gallium/indium alloy that melted at around 75ºF. The gallium was trashed anyway so I added some more indium, and them some tin because it is cheap..

[fredwreckless]

nice vid

[alexosh1234]

great vid but can u talk in them? LOL

[styropyro]

I guess it's just my style to talk in text...lol.

[personperson666]

dude thats AWSOME

[hovo327]

awesome and gratz on 2000 subs...and im one of em too :D

[styropyro]

I'm glad you like my videos!
