ACID vs Diecast Car

Nitric Acid dissolving a diecast toy car. The acid took nearly 40 minutes to do the damage shown in the video. The temperature of the acid got to the boiling point and boiled over a little bit. A quick spray from a water hose neutralized it. (Safety Sally disclaimer)

Filmed with a Panasonic HDC-SDX1 High Def. Camera.

The martini glass is my "test tube" I have used in several other videos. It just works well for video shots.

how come the acid doesnt affect the glass?

[taofledermaus]

@maziku Most acids will not attack glass. I think only hydrofluoric acid will attack glass.

it looked like the paint protected the metal for  a short time before the acid took over.

Another super cool video, thanks!!

@MrColt45acp I tried to scratch away the paint in some spots but it still took a very long time for it to really start reacting. I think my acid was diluted a little bit. As it got hotter and hotter the reaction got better. While it was furiously smoking and boiling over a neighbor stopped his truck and I had to explain why I had a smoking martini glass in my driveway. lol. I should have included the conversation in the video in retrospect.

Awesome, did you film it in HD and just speed it up like I do or did you have a very low framerate and did it the traditional way? :-)

[taofledermaus]

@SlaveZero1234 I filmed it with my Panasonic camera and sped it up 64 times in Vegas. It took 3 renderings at 4x each pass.

i feel sorry for the guy who drove that car.

you wasted your DOLLAR man

HOT WHEELS, BEAT THAT BITCH.

@HP100ify It's called an "exothermic reaction". As the acid attacks the metal, heat is generated. As it gets hotter and hotter, the reaction increases even faster until it starts to boil.

Serves that ugly car right.

@thetick531 i think it couldve been sulfuric acid not nitric acid

[thetick531]

Why would nitric acid be in a martini glass?
