Probably the only reason it didn't explode is because the cold of the gas escaping likely stiffened the weak metal. But brittle metal is worse because that makes dangerous shrapnel.
Folks DON'T do what this knuclehead did with the CO2 canister! The bottom of that tank could have unzipped and removed his head from his body at 800 psig. I speak from experience as I had to drive a friend to hospital after a mere garden sprayer unzipped at the bottom at 60 psig and the canister jetted into his face. He was lucky to survive as the metal handle took out his teeth, his nose and missed his eye by millimeters.
thats because it actually infiltrates the aluminum structure and weakens the entire object, obviously bigger objects will need more gallium but still its pretty cool
Basically the gallium is creeping through the aluminium creating an alloy, as far as I understand it the aluminium then can be oxidized and since the gallium can not form an alloy with aluminium oxide it is pushed further into the unoxidized aluminium, repeating the process.
12:04 : if that cylinder still has that much pressure inside, you should definitely NOT hold it against your body after you compromised its structural integrity with gallium. Or stand anywhere near it... Metal shrapnel is no fun.

Yeah. The CO2 freezes as it starts leaking, plugging the hole. There was a lot of pressure still in that (rapidly weakening) tank when he was holding it. He's lucky he didn't get injured.
I bet every time he watches this video, he regrets that. There was still a load of pressure in that tank that was getting more and more brittle as he was holding it. Wow!
I'm fairly certain that clip at the end was with a different CO2 container or if it was the same one it was recorded before because when he drops it on the ground there is no output at the base which there would be if it was the same canister at a later point in time compared to the first clip when he put gallium on it. So no I don't think he does regret it because honestly I don't see anything that dangerous in this video apart from that clip at the very end where the CO2 caster starts spinning around but that's probably all it's going to do is just spin until it has no more pressure in it to drive the spinning. Does pressurized canisters are designed to take some amount of abuse before they fail completely because you don't want what would otherwise be a relatively minor accident having several fatalities because you were shipping pressurized canisters that failed in a situation where our otherwise there wouldn't have been any harmed humans.
@@the_undead edit: I just rewatched at .25x speed at full resolution for a frame or 2 at 12:05 you can see the frost line where the crack is. Also the tank, it's noticably scratched and dented and the tank he is holding after had the same dents and scratches. CO2 is liquid in the container and flashes over to gas as it comes out, when this happens it also makes frost or really dry ice. It's possible the ice clogged the crack. You may be right and it's a different tank but I don't think lack of gas coming out the bottom is proof. Also CO2 expands around 500 to 1 so I think that tank should have sprayed for a lot longer if it was a new one. But we don't know how much it started with or what was edited out.
@@libtrs838 dry ice is not strong enough to hold back the pressure of a pressurized CO2 canister. At least not If it's out of pressure where it can spin the canister or send it flying or similar. Maybe if it's a mostly depleted and at two atmospheres of pressure but definitely not at 500 plus PSI, You need steel, titanium or carbon composites to reliably hold back such pressures in an affordable and man portable container
@@the_undead dry ice and/or ice absolutely are strong enough to plug a crack in a high pressure container. The majority of strain on a pressure vessel is tensile force. Imagine any given cross section of the tank as a rubber band, and the gas inside trying to stretch it out in every direction. In the case of filling a crack, all you need is enough compressive strength to hold against the pressure. Dry ice has a compressive strength of ~30Mpa (4351 psi). The ice is more than capable of stopping flow from the crack, but does little to nothing for the overall structural integrity of the pressure vessel. This was quite possibly the most dangerous thing I've witnessed on this channel... but I'm gonna keep watching to see if he takes things even farther! On a sidenote, Florida has a sizable cave diving community and scuba shops catering to those individuals are more than happy to do "cave fills" on scuba tanks. Should be able to find a shop pretty easily that'll pump a 3000psi rated aluminum tank up to 3600psi. Should make for a much more interesting video than CO2. Bonus points for pure oxygen and throwing the tank in a pool while there's ignition source(s) nearby. Oxygen from the tank plus hydrogen from the al/h2o reaction... should be interesting.
I've always kind of cringed at this dudes safety precautions having experience working in a lab, but he keep making me more confident one day he will earn himself a nice fancy Darwin Award
Damn the whole bottom of that tank could of blown off in his hands while still full of liquid CO2 only the ice was preventing it from escaping. There was probably full pressure air (CO2 non liquid at the top of the tank. 852.8 PSI? at the top liquid and ice at the bottom. As the gallium worked its way thru the metal it was only a matter of time.
...also probably not the best idea to point out its incompatibility with aircraft. sure, anyone bent on downing an aircraft that way already knows it, but it seems foolish to inform the general public; they might now call for banning gallium possession by individuals.
Dude, I can’t believe you picked up a structurally compromised CO2 tank that was obviously still under quite a bit of pressure. That could have ended very, very badly.
I’d really love to see what happens if you melt aluminum that’s contaminated with gallium and then let it cool. Is it still brittle or does it make some kind of amalgam
That is an amalgam that is being formed when you put gallium on aluminum. Actually I guess it would be more properly referred to as an alloy because they are thoroughly mixed just like in an alloy it's just the properties of this alloy are absolutely horrible for literally every application except for possibly not see-through packaging but then you just contaminate everything and gallium which isn't ideal for anyone who works with aluminum ever

Nope. It doesn't destroy the aluminum, it makes an aluminum alloy that is much weaker than pure aluminum. Gallium can diffuse into a number of metals this way.
Dont put gallium on pressurized stuff it could explode. Also, water is wet.
Be careful out there man. Anything pressurized could possibly kill you. Stay safe

I bet every time he watches this video, he regrets that. There was still a load of pressure in that tank that was getting more and more brittle as he was holding it. Wow!
I'm fairly certain that clip at the end was with a different CO2 container or if it was the same one it was recorded before because when he drops it on the ground there is no output at the base which there would be if it was the same canister at a later point in time compared to the first clip when he put gallium on it. So no I don't think he does regret it because honestly I don't see anything that dangerous in this video apart from that clip at the very end where the CO2 caster starts spinning around but that's probably all it's going to do is just spin until it has no more pressure in it to drive the spinning. Does pressurized canisters are designed to take some amount of abuse before they fail completely because you don't want what would otherwise be a relatively minor accident having several fatalities because you were shipping pressurized canisters that failed in a situation where our otherwise there wouldn't have been any harmed humans.
@@the_undead edit: I just rewatched at .25x speed at full resolution for a frame or 2 at 12:05 you can see the frost line where the crack is. Also the tank, it's noticably scratched and dented and the tank he is holding after had the same dents and scratches.
CO2 is liquid in the container and flashes over to gas as it comes out, when this happens it also makes frost or really dry ice. It's possible the ice clogged the crack. You may be right and it's a different tank but I don't think lack of gas coming out the bottom is proof.
Also CO2 expands around 500 to 1 so I think that tank should have sprayed for a lot longer if it was a new one. But we don't know how much it started with or what was edited out.
@@libtrs838 dry ice is not strong enough to hold back the pressure of a pressurized CO2 canister. At least not If it's out of pressure where it can spin the canister or send it flying or similar. Maybe if it's a mostly depleted and at two atmospheres of pressure but definitely not at 500 plus PSI, You need steel, titanium or carbon composites to reliably hold back such pressures in an affordable and man portable container
@@the_undead dry ice and/or ice absolutely are strong enough to plug a crack in a high pressure container. The majority of strain on a pressure vessel is tensile force. Imagine any given cross section of the tank as a rubber band, and the gas inside trying to stretch it out in every direction. In the case of filling a crack, all you need is enough compressive strength to hold against the pressure. Dry ice has a compressive strength of ~30Mpa (4351 psi). The ice is more than capable of stopping flow from the crack, but does little to nothing for the overall structural integrity of the pressure vessel. This was quite possibly the most dangerous thing I've witnessed on this channel... but I'm gonna keep watching to see if he takes things even farther!
On a sidenote, Florida has a sizable cave diving community and scuba shops catering to those individuals are more than happy to do "cave fills" on scuba tanks. Should be able to find a shop pretty easily that'll pump a 3000psi rated aluminum tank up to 3600psi. Should make for a much more interesting video than CO2. Bonus points for pure oxygen and throwing the tank in a pool while there's ignition source(s) nearby. Oxygen from the tank plus hydrogen from the al/h2o reaction... should be interesting.
I've always kind of cringed at this dudes safety precautions having experience working in a lab, but he keep making me more confident one day he will earn himself a nice fancy Darwin Award
Ikr, he has done some really sketchy stuff before and ppl have expressed concern for him because they care. But he doesn't seem to take it seriously.
@@lordjmme303 I guess not. The longer I watch the more I cringe. Used to really like the channel, now ehh not so much.
If the bare minimum works then why go any further.
Damn the whole bottom of that tank could of blown off in his hands while still full of liquid CO2 only the ice was preventing it from escaping. There was probably full pressure air (CO2 non liquid at the top of the tank. 852.8 PSI? at the top liquid and ice at the bottom. As the gallium worked its way thru the metal it was only a matter of time.
it's insane how he doesn't care, but then again... he's a man in Florida.
“We are going to be testing it every hour.”
*not even one second later*
“Ok this is like 2, 3 hours later.”
he tested it of camera obviously.... :)

Hate someone so much? Pour Gallium in their fuel tank or tires
I feel bad for the person who watched this with headphones in because that co2 tank was loud
Im not at that point yet and i got headphones on....
Thanks is for feeling bad for me cause my ears hurt BAD. Edit:spelling
i jumped at the coke cans, thanks for warning me lol
It looked like a tripwire from battlefield 1
I have headphones on, wasn't that loud, quieter than some comercials on here.
I wouldn't have picked that tank up until it was empty. That was unnecessarily risky. We like your vids... please don't get hurt!
That's the thing about science. You gotta do unnecessarily risky things, for science of course.
mierzhen No, you really don’t.

I literally just bought 15 grams of gallium because of this video. Thanks for letting me know about a shiny new and reasonably safe toy to play with!
I can't believe he did this. Jeez. Hey let's turn this CO2 cylinder into a friggin bomb
"See how the gallium weakened it enough that gas has started leaking? Time to go pick it up and hold it against my chest."
...also probably not the best idea to point out its incompatibility with aircraft. sure, anyone bent on downing an aircraft that way already knows it, but it seems foolish to inform the general public; they might now call for banning gallium possession by individuals.
Dude, I can’t believe you picked up a structurally compromised CO2 tank that was obviously still under quite a bit of pressure. That could have ended very, very badly.

At 3:33 it sounded like the lego breaking noise! Thats so funny and poggers I showed it to my whole family! (Someone end my sad existence)
I’d really love to see what happens if you melt aluminum that’s contaminated with gallium and then let it cool. Is it still brittle or does it make some kind of amalgam
That is an amalgam that is being formed when you put gallium on aluminum. Actually I guess it would be more properly referred to as an alloy because they are thoroughly mixed just like in an alloy it's just the properties of this alloy are absolutely horrible for literally every application except for possibly not see-through packaging but then you just contaminate everything and gallium which isn't ideal for anyone who works with aluminum ever
Done this it is very reactive and brittle. It works great for chemistry too.❤
You could put galinstan on a car covered in aluminum, and then drive it through a car wash. Boom, flaming car!
genericmace What does galinstan mean lol
Tony Kong Did you not watch the video? If not, it is an alloy of gallium.

Now you can never use anything that is aluminum in your yard or house.
i know this video is old but, if you could do a close up on how gallium reacts with aluminum under a midroscope and see how it "infiltrates" into the aluminum

Imagine putting this on the head of someone engine that's pissed you off.
when I was a kid my dad had a friend who lost his arm to a liquid nitrogen tank.
More information please
@@AHMAD0SHISHANI I don't have much more. The tanks are pressured and I assume one failed taking off his arm. That's all I know. On a different note my dad let my play with liquid nitrogen. He explained the safety and handed me a cup. I would dump it on the floor and watch the dust move
That's why you don't play poker against a liquid nitrogen tank.
he didn't get the victory Royale
And he never clapped again😞

This is the first time I have watched your content. I love the kind of semi-controlled chaos these videos exude.
I have a question!!!
Is the aluminum still recyclable after this or would it keep contaminating everything it touches ?
Nope. It doesn't destroy the aluminum, it makes an aluminum alloy that is much weaker than pure aluminum. Gallium can diffuse into a number of metals this way.
I love that you either can't hear them talk or they blow out your ear drums

what how
man's created a contamination nightmare
Gallium all over his property that's going to react with aluminum objects put there
Theory, gallium doesn't do anything to aluminum he has just been hiding his super human strength
Robb Re He is SCP-106. It is not because of strength.
He's so strong he burst a can of soda through telekinesis...
seems legit
withered twig man has super human strength? he looks as brittle as the aluminum after gallium contact
That's a speculation, not a theory.
Ok, he hasn’t posted in a month, he does dangerous experiments...
I spilt gallium on my school bleachers without knowing it did this to aluminum, good thing they had a plastic covering
