so how hot was the aluminum that you poured in this video apparently someone wants to know

[xxHarveyMoonxx]

No Idea mate

if its iron how come the container didnt melt too

use your hat rack a little bit

The reason the aluminium looks red hot or rather a red-orange glow is because the camera picks up parts of the infrared spectrum, which is invisible to the naked eye.

Being a less than professional studio quality camera, it then fails to produce an accurate representation of the visual input.

It has nothing to do with theories about it not being aluminium, and everything with people not knowing what they'r talking about. Just your average garden variety of ignorance.

Congrats on just getting the metal to melt. Lots of people like to leave comments even though they have never melted metal. How ddid you make you mold design? Interested in making a similar design for copper. Let me know. THX! great vid!

To much oxgen will melt your steel pot. I've seen it before. Loose sand in your cast is also not a good thing. The aluminium was also too hot, judging from the color of the molten metal.

aluminium melts at low temp thats why the iron didnt melt ...Al at plus minus 600 deg and iron more than 1400 degrees ..

@xxHarveyMoonxx ill vote 1500 since it melts at 1250. for your sand problem, may i suggest using super fine wood ash? doesnt get much finer than that. and its free. takes forever to get enough but can reuse it as many times as you want. I use it.

Who cares ether way it is still aluminum

Furthermore, not all cameras are made equal. Some might have fancy filters that prohibits the IR to even reach the CCD to being with. Others might have a diffrent CCD, coupled with diffrent software in the camera, parts of the IR spectra might appear red, orange or even purple.

Stop trying to generalize! I know it's comfortable for you, but it's the pleasure of a simple mind! You'r too young to understand why, but acnowlaging that you are wrong isn't a weakness. It's a strength.

Here we go again with your logical blunders.

The sensor element in digital cameras is called a CCD. They are made to a cost, not a narrowly defined specification. Being made of silicon they are prone to picking up IR, in fact, it would be a technical miracle if they didn't.

The problem starts when the cameras software interprets the CCD's output to form a visual output to the user. The start of the IR spectra is interpreted as visible red light and gets incorporated into the output.

@mike4ty4

Here we go again... how do I know they are roughly at the same temp? All the videos depict molten aluminium that hasn't turned an off white color on the surface yet, it's therefor below the cooking point. Molten aluminium below 1000 C doesn't glow red. That's a fact of life.

You'r still obsessing about that agenda you'r a believer of. A set of ideas that somehow circulate around aluminium glowing when molten.

Why don't you do an experiment yourself? Go melt some aluminium.

@kasmackba That claim about liars and hoaxers was made because you were implying all the videos where aluminum is seen glowing red are fooling me, and the "red" seen there is not real visible red light, with different cameras and everything... but apparently your actual claim is that if there's a red glow that implies the camera must be seeing IR.
