Liquid Metal Gallium Alloy Galinstan - Looks like Mercury!

Here is a video showing some properties of Galinstan, a Gallium/Indium/Tin alloy that is liquid at room temperature. This stuff is pretty much non-toxic, but is also expensive. A eutectic alloy of this freezes at around -19ºC. Unlike mercury, this stuff sticks to everything which can be good or bad depending on your application.

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.

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