Think of it as analogous to foaming at the top of a soft drink. The gallium atoms interfere with the aluminum's ability to form a metal lattice, thus permitting H2O to interlace with what is essentially atomic aluminum.

@@Canadian_Teemo if NileRed someone with a fair amount of chemistry backing couldn't do it well I doubt someone with next to no experience in the field of chemistry could get it to work.
That stain would be easy to get off, but when you work with it awaile, it would layer up and get more of their skin stained, then it wouldnt be to easy to get off, or just take so much more time to get off
thats because the texture has an impact on the light. Due to the fact that galium is a metal important aspects like highlights and halftones are made a lot different
He's concentrating on time-share style seminars. "I made a UA-cam fortune, you can too, just pay $$$ and come to my seminar and I'll teach you how to do it! Free cake!", that sort of thing.
so what is the 'accidental discovery'? Pretty sure all of this went how you expected it would. Interesting to know that gallium has this effect on aluminum too though, if anyone wants to see a crazy aluminum reaction look up NileRed's video reacting mercury with aluminum. It's amazing, one of the weirdest reactions I've ever seen, especially for what it just a metal on metal contact.
make an alloy of all the metals you can get so you can make a super alloy. Then see what it does (ie durability and other stuff that you do with metal)
What was the chemical? Hydrous Gallium-Aluminium (now called Galluminium) was my first guess, but there were gallium beads. You had Hydrogen bubbles and water naturally splits into Hydrogen and Hydroxide ions, so... Water + Galluminium = Hydrogen + Gallium + ... Aluminium Hydroxide?
@@Drako9823 No they dont. But hey, when you deal memes on Instagram, you tend to do things you dont understand. Basically its stating that only a certain thing does something that no one or no other thing ever does that thing, or says that thing. I have confused you even more. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day/night. ☺ Sorry.. My english isnt really that great.
about the last part, what happens if you get all of the crumbly sponge stuff and dry it out?? And if its metal, did you just make magnetic kinetic sand??
Ok Grant, this one is going to be tough. Let's see what happens when you melt iron sulfide (pyrite or fools gold) into a mold. It's going to be tough because of the ionic bonds but I want to see what it would look like after it cooled.
You should melt down what was left of the alloy after soaking in the water using the crucible and see if it returned to pure aluminum! Such a cool video!
@Captain Jake Has had is correct. It's the Past Perfect tense of to have. it means that the action began in the distant past and is still going on (if i'm not mistaken)
Ur aluminum rod test isnt completely right. You had the one in gallium proped and hit different than the normal one. Not to be mean. I was just saying.
I used to work for Lens Crafters and we used Gallium to hold lenses to the spot marker or a holder so we could generate the lenses , mark them to stick on the holder and also for the lense to be held in place for polishers to be able to work to remove the scratches from the lenses and to be able edge the lense to fit into the frames.
I miss Grant, but glad he's able to spend more time with his family and less burning himself out. Nate is quite different from Grant, but he's fun to watch too.
My dad is a HUGE Star Wars fan and he's on the Empire's side, and when I saw the the melting storm trooper scene I paused the video and showed it to my dad and I started laughing because he was so sad from witnessing that 'TRAGIC' death scene

Hm, it melts at 1177~1188 °C which might be more than they can handle, but they have done the ~800 °C salt. But then still… close to 400 °C more? :(
