The company I used to work for gave me the same safety training you got, for the huge boom lifts we had to use. None.

Bring back the jingle!!!
That explains a lot... :)
(figured I should probably put that harness on so I didn't have to constantly step over it) "There's the power switch now take it over there and fix that" AYE AYE CAPTAIN!
That's the amount of training everyone gets. I think it's supposed to make it more fun to learn not to die on the fly.
Its a bird
Its a plane
No
Its silver surfers cum
I can feel the American army taking notes
Probably true !
American government: noted
So true
And I did a reply
I’m scared now

glad to see kevin is on his way to being a leftist revolutionary :•)
@@celestestefanova8791 I had the opposite thought. I guessed he was talking about social media bias.
@@alech9418 it's pretty overtly anti-capitalist. deplatforming people who incite attempted coups isn't the issue.
@@celestestefanova8791 It it decrying oligarchical rule from the tech sector. Being able to forcibly shut down your competition isnt exactly free market friendly. I didn't even mention Trump, but since you mention it "Go home. Be Peaceful" doesn't seem like incitement to me. Maybe I am just crazy.
@@alech9418 is that seriously the only tweet that comes to mind? not consistently discussing how big and wild the jan. 6th protest was?
He is worried about 'safety but never blinks at one handed handling of a pot of boiling aluminum while wearing shorts - the part that is actually dangerous.
First thing I noticed. Molten plastic or metal are no joke.
@@VenturiLife Brian Brushwood talks about this when teaching fire eating for magic performances
You cannot wear any kind of synthetic fabrics, because they'll melt to your skin like napalm if anything goes wrong. Full cotton/wool, no compromises
I imagined the lift suddenly jerking on the way up and molten aluminum spilling all over him 😖
If you wear shorts, don't wear shoes for pities sake! But really why not use PPE that's fit for purpose?
@@MarkTillotson Cause he lives in Florida. He's gotta represent
You should come to Australia and collab with the boys from How Ridiculous and drop the molten aluminium off their 40 meter high tower,, would be good to see
How Ridiculous loves this kind of content! I’m sure they would be interested.
My thoughts exactly.
Just coming to say this lol
At least I wasn't the only one who thought of that, I hope he sees this.
I was just about to say that
9:50 The amount of times you replayed that clip is annoying but hilarious
Hes such a troll lol
Reminded me of Taken
I see you quiver with antici.................
PATION
it's a parody of the infamous "truck vs bollard" gif
"I always wondered"
lol I love how your mind works.

Me: Hey if you want high, ask How Ridiculous
I mean... yeah. But aren’t they in Australia?
@@Sasquatch_101 well, mark rober went there so im sure the backyard scientist can go there too
0:23 me after work every day
0:55 how we know you're from FL
Nice to see you here man

*I needa get high!*
10:08 me after i get high
Hi
Lead shot is made in the same way but dropped from 140 to 225 ft inside a tower, the lead shot is collected in a water bath to keep it spherical. So maybe if you used a smaller diameter sieve and 3 of the lifts taped on top of each other, it would work
I love your videos man. Layout and all. I may be 27 and with pretty severe depression but your attitude and style definitely helps me be happy and calm. You've helped me. And for that I truly appreciate you man. 💚🔥💨
Mmmm molten metal🤤🤤🤤
great vid earlier mate ;)
Duuude I love your videos. I didn’t expect to see you here
Slurp slurp 😋
Cmon give it a quick tast

"I need to get high" "I'm already too high" "i know it doesnt look like I'm that high" great soundboard clips 😂
Stoner soundboard clips 😂😂😂😂
When he said i need to get high, i felt that
6:58 Ants: The last war has come upon us! Stay strong! Hold!
“This is really high!!!”
How ridiculous: “that’s cute”
You definitely needed to be much higher for the first test without the strainer. One drawback to living in Florida, it's flat. LOL
Like my wife.
@@epicguy228 nothing wrong with that tho.
Flat is part of what makes Florida awesome
@@comfortablynumb9342 The warm weather, lakes, and ocean makes Florida, without those things, I wouldn't be here.
Hi
2:01 now this feels like information that the people that watch this type of channel should not be allowed to know
This is like all my phobias in a 10 minute video
0:56 😂🤣😂 Love the authenticity!
Time for the Backyard Scientist to grab Mark Rober and head down under to How Ridiculous! 50 meter tower molten aluminum drop?
Why Mark? Is there an engineering part in it? More of a Destin thing I think.
@@Seelenschmiede Mark has worked with both of them before was my thinking.
"I need to get high!"

Cool Video! This reminded me of the Coop’s Shot Tower I saw in Melbourne, Australia, where lead bullets were made by dropping molten lead from a tall tower (50 meters - 164 feet) into pools of water that would flash form them into their spherical shape. Keep up the great work! Cheers form Italy!
Yeah, people seem to have forgotten that those were a thing
All I can say is you're freakin' crazy. To put it more eloquently, a true maverick. In all the best ways. Thanks for another awesome video
For the aluminum/water explosion, increasing the conductivity of the water by saturating it with salt should help that. The explosive reaction between reactive metals and water is called a Coulomb Explosion, and has more to do with electric charge than most people are aware of. Another option is to add a bit of hydrochloric acid to the water, which will help eat through the oxide layer. If you want to get really nuts, using a lot of iron chloride in the salt solution will result in a much more violent version of the thermite reaction (chlorides instead of oxides in the reactants/products).
"I need to get high!" I got you fam. Just tell me how high.
Haha funny you say that. I am also working on videos throwing things from a height. Don't know how high though
@@DyslexicMitochondria at least 450ft... know a guy?
@@TheBackyardScientist 😂😂😂
@@TheBackyardScientist danggggg
@@TheBackyardScientist yea i know a guy his name is TheBackyardScientist
Love the falling camera following the drops down. Very clever. Great job.
Ah gotta love a good ol Backyard Science video 😎 glad to see you're still alive and not in a federal pen 😁
A "safety noose" 😂😂 dude I'm rolling
Wait till youtube reccomends this 5yrs later.
1:17 I'm gonna take a gander and say it goes 50 ft up
That is the cutest little boom lift I've ever seen
Come to Australia and drop some molten aluminium from the How Ridiculous tower in Perth, Im sure the How Ridiculous boys will look after you
but then the aluminum will fall upside down XD
Haha how do you know that you're on top? Maybe magnetic north is just gravity pointing down 🤔
I was thinking that too, I was literally watching some of their videos a while ago lol
Those grubs need to learn to clean up after themselves
It's in GinGin at the Space discovery Center.
One of these days, he’s gonna burn his face off with all this molten aluminum stuff and his gravestone is gonna read “died by reenacting the end of Terminator”
I wonder if aluminium would ever pull together into a spherical or raindrop shape while falling, the same way that lead does in a shot tower. It seems to me like maybe the oxide layer that forms on the molten aluminium prevents surface tension from pulling it together into a sphere.
Finally a new video!!!! Love seeing your videos!
If you could somehow get in touch with the guys over at 'How Ridiculous' I bet they would let you use their 45m (147ft) tower.
01:45 The LPL would have picked the lock in the time it took you to say "I think I forgot the key"
Backyard Scientist: I think I forgot--
LPL: This is the Lock Picking Lawyer, and what I have for you today is, a cherry picker with a missing key.
Small click on one...nothing on two...and, we've got an open.
BYS: Wait, what?
I always forget about what channels I'm subbed to, then when they pop up again it's always a video to remind me why I subbed.
I have had a bad day, this genuinely made me laugh
It’s cute that you thought it was going into the tank so soon lmao.
1:58 this is dangerous information and should be classified lmao
Companies fault for being lazy
this is such a cool video, I wish more people would see it
Research shot drops. It's how they used to make lead shot back in the day. Tall silo looking buildings that were tall enough for the lead shot to solidify by the time they hit the ground.
4:43 My Teachers Mic on Zoom meeting's.
5:10 is almost like something out of a HowToBasic video
I'm wondering if it would make a difference if you pour the molten aluminium directly into a pipe/tube with Argon gas, so the aluminium can't make the oxide layer before hitting the water.
And the aluminium would have a little more resistance on the way down, so you might be able to get a different shape, perhaps somting more resembling a droplet?
This has been one of my favourite backyard scientist videos.
I like to think of you safety third team as the real life UA-cam equivalent of MCU Avengers. I wonder which one Kevin would be?
If you need to drop things off high stuff I recommend contacting the HowRidiculous lads, they're essentially experts at this point and they have access to a bigass tower.
I want this crossover.
0:23 wait a minute
Ok
1:23
Aww, he's acrophobic. I feel ya there.
Safety noose that cracked me up 🤣
" i need to get high" followed by "so some how i swindled..."
This was a great episode. And that shot following the molten aluminum to the ground was epic. Hope this style video keeps coming
I live around 5 miles from you, and it's always fun trying to find where you film certain things since I'm familiar with the area!
This field has me stumped so far, though! Haha
Bruh I started dying when he said safety noose 🤣
This seems like something The Modern Rouge would love to help with, especially with the tower they do tests off of
The chaotic energy that the Backyard Scientist brings to his videos is just...supreme entertainment. Really top tier.
"oh my gosh the grass is on fire" good times, yo
9:04 YESSS 😂😂😂.That shot i love it
Backyard Scientist, thank you so much for your content, I have a daughter and she really likes science and stuff, so I'm watching a lot of your videos and me and her are learning so much, thank you dude! Keep up the great content, hope my daughter will become a great scientist! ;)
amogus
@TheBackyardScientist Thanks for the heart! My daughter is jumping out of happiness hahaha
The amount of cuts from the block of aluminum missing is just a wow
Jeez, you have changed since the last time I have watched you, nice job
Backyard scientist out of context: “I need to get high”
10:15 shattersfying
You say you need guys with a really tall building you can drop stuff off...
Collab with the guys from How Ridiculous when?
Genius idea.
Different countries though
Awesome vid as always thanks for making and posting 😂👍
Yay, Florida Man the Science Guy is back!
2:22 “I hate this. I’m not even afraid of heights”
Not afraid of heights? 🤣
I’m not afraid if heights, I’m just afraid of falling
@@fearmeforiamscary Yes! Not even really falling, just the sudden stop at the end.
If you want to get the aluminum to explode when it hits the water, try adding sodium or potassium hydroxide, since that can dissolve the oxide and allow the aluminum to react. You'll know when it's basic enough when the cold aluminum reacts with it.
6:22 the reason why water droplets are the shape they are is surface tension from hydrogen bonding and the fact that the water isn't changing state. The aluminium however has a cooling outer layer while also decent metallic bonding. Much like a volcano throwing out lava into the air. Looks just the same
You never disappoint man.
Hey, here is an idea for you. Look around for buildings that have been condemned, and ask if you can use the lift shaft instead of dropping it outside. No wind to blow the droplets about and you wouldnt even need to worry about being up too high, you wouldnt see it... unless you look straight down the lift shaft
when its 4/20: 0:23
I really liked the freefall cam. Such an unusual perspective.
"I'm not one to normally care about safety...so I'm not going to"....bro had me busting out laughing in the middle of my office. LOL
"I need to get high"
-Florida man, 2021
Jfc!! 4:04 scared the living sh1t out of me! 😂
Could you suspend drops in a vertical wind tunnel?
just need the wind speed at terminal velocity
I didn't expect to not skip the sponsor clip
Hey that's pretty coooool
Ikr
woah
How did u comment 9 minutes ago when the video came out 1 minute ago??
@@TrickzLGB join the backyard sciantist discord and you can get previews of the latest videos before they're released
@@adamburtonwood5432 oh ok lmao
*cough* shot tower *cough*
edit: yay you got there in the end :)
Great and interesting as always.
Shame a lot of those brick chimneys are demolished. Maybe a disused thermal one.
This is a great idea for How Ridiculous!
Did he really make them move the pool and tanks instead of adjusting his position?
We couldn't move further forward without pouring from a lower height.
They'd have to hook it back up to the truck to adjust the position of the manlift. Dragging a kiddie pool with a fish tank in it is pretty easy by comparison.
this is a simulation of me and my toilet after taco tuesday at the gas station
“A safety noose” that made my day
its always summer in this guys videos. peak
It looked as is hundreds of sardines were being escape-artists when you first put the aluminum through the strainer. Haha.
"I need to get HIGH" XD
*“Safety noose”* 😂
i know this pain from working in construction for a few years and boy is being on one of those things extremely terrifying
The How Ridiculous people have a forty five meter tower...you should try to do a collaboration with them!!!
Two problem with that covid and Australia
Lol, "I need to get high"
Wow, that's hell rain. Sounds like a good name for a metal band
Im subscribed with the bell on and didn’t get a notification for this video i had to legit search and type in backyard scientists
7:24 *It sprays like my Cat.*
You need to talk to How Ridiculous and get to the tower down there! COLABORATION!!!
I was thinking the same thing. Funnily enough I was watching the latest How Ridiculous video immediately before watching this video.
I don't know why, but this kind of made me think of what it would be like if this UA-cam channel and "How Ridiculous" made a collaboration 🤣
i love how he just precision airstrikes the fish tank!
