Hi
am I cool
I regret this comment, sorry
Ok
Nigel used a weaker acid solution because he knew they'd be keeping the cars they'd destroyed at the end, truly a mad genius
As is expected 💪💪
Aqua Regia is one of the strongest acids in the world buddy. Its hydrochloric acid + nitric acid....Crazy strong

You know the video is going to be crazy when Mark decides to collab with Nilered and Kevin.
Second best collab

The addition of Will, Kevin, and Nigel was awesome. Please bring them on more often.
nigel is my fav science youtuber
Kevin literally risked his arrest record for science gotta love the guy
agreed
you know theyre real scientists once they get contacted by the government lmfao
Easily one of the best collabs I've seen on this channel. The Science Boys™ are a total force of chaos and watching them collaborate with Mark (and his outrageous budget per video lol) was AMAZING. More collabs with these folks, please!
(Also William Osman as the "unexpected" referee was hilarious and fantastic)
12:47 "I do?" "I don't" had me rolling! 🤣
Sure lil bro
The damage done also depends greatly on the lava you use. Silicate lava (the melted "lava rock") is generally the coolest ranging from 800C-900C. Whereas Ultramafic lava can be almost twice as hot, ranging from 1600C-2000C (hot enough to melt steel and vaporize a lot of materials).
In addition fluoroantimonic acid, Carborane acid, or Magic acid would be much more effective.
the fluoro acid is TERRIFYING!!! there is no oopses allowed. that one needs an episode all to itself.

Don't forget William :D
I never thought I’d see mark rober and Roblox in one video
And Roblox being mentioned too is odd af
William better be in the next competition, he's literally the definition of a wildcard
My farts are better than Mark’s farts 💨
"For today's 'make a dessert challenge', Kevin is baking a pie with the power of refracted sunlight, Nile is chemically leavening, and using exothermic reactions to bake a cake, and I think Will is trying to... scream... a s'more into melting?"

I'd like to see Styropyro, he is a true wildcard
He’s OP.
Not the hand wash alarm going off though lol
I love how Mark's solution to everything was to just smash it with something
Maybe he was frustrated because he was losing...
Well he did use a "borrowed" laser for the bat...
hey as he once said,if you can't solve it.then melt it.
@@DANIELHGG@
Ikr!! 😂😂😂
you should also get styropyro on it. hes pretty scary with electricity stuff and hes also a chemist. i think hed be amazing to bring on to show people the crazy things he does! i really love these dudes becoming more well known. but yes, please bring styropyro on, you could even have him and nilered compete in chemistry!
I’m thinking about him exactly 😂
Would be funny if styro used the demon circuit
styropyro is like on a whole nother level of crazy
Yeah, I was expecting Styropyro to bring up a deadly laser.
The problem with the «lava» is that for any thing that contains moisture it will gain a heat shield, in the form of vapor. The vapor becomes isolation. And with the amount of liquid in that is in meat, it gets a lot of shielding compared to the time it takes for the «lava» to cool. This is the reason that when we blacksmiths harden steel, we have to keep the material moving, as to have constant contact with the liquid, and not just get the the heat shield preventing hardening from happening.
Leidenfrost effect!
For acid case....he could have used superacids.....but he didn't....
@@niazjaffar7022I mean it's sorta hard to get large amounts of super acids? Plus having to film most of these in a plastic box wouldn't be interesting to watch. Also they dissolve metals even slower than normal acids so it wouldn't have helped. HCl is actually the best at dissolving metals out of any acid alone and even more so when mixed with nitric acid so I believe he did the option with the best possibility of working. I will say for the I pad he should have actually used a weaker acid like Hydrofluoricixed with hcl to dissolve the glass and the metal.
i mean sadly most acids are the best at corroding organic substances
I love how Nile and Kevin are just doing what they are interested in. Nile is interested in the chemical parts, while Kevin is interested in the more "natural" parts. I loved this video. Keep up the great work, Mark!
And then there’s mark jst bringing out the most random chiz 😂😂
@@tilly_248 Marks doing what hes interested in, too! Even if that's giant flamethrowers or entire anvils.

Mark breaking the anvil instead of the diamond with the hammer was like the perfect Looney Tunes punchline
I honestly expected the diamond to go crunch. Guess I underestimated how soft steel is.
Plus, it being point-down instead of table-down helped it out in that regard.
@@kennyholmes5196 If it was point up, it would have done the same thing to the hammer instead
@@kennyholmes5196 it would have helped if the anvil was propperly hardened as well. Hardness in steel is calculated by how deep a diamond is forced into steel when subjected to pressure/force. And with how far the diamond went into the anvil, it dosent seem like it was hardened at all.
@@__nog642 Depends on if the hammer was properly hardened or not, as Halvblodsprinsen100 pointed out.

I never stood close to it because I'm only a keyboard hero, but while watching him in his work process, I've learnt to appreciate and to understand how power can be used to create beauty.
Metal
Mark clearly made his choices for entertainment purposes. I just won't accept the fact that he actually thought he would smash the diamond on an anvil, dude just literally performed the most brute force hardness test 😂
i wouldn't be surprised if as far as anvils go, it was somewhat soft.
Tbh I’d use a diamond cutting material to cut it, if it’s not against the rules.
Diamond's hardness just means it wins a scratching battle vs other materials. Think glass vs wood, which one scratches which, which one breaks easier?
It's not unreasonable to think it could've broken, in fact that was probably near the limit of how much stress a diamond can take before shattering. Just because something is extremely hard does not make it unbreakable
I love these colabs. Mark’s excited, and yet somehow soothingly calm, educational energy mixed with the absolute ADHD chaos that is Nile Green, Backdoor Scientist and Big Willie is absolute gold! Moar pleeeeeeez!
It would be the end of the world if it was actually NileGreen.
Bro Mark was the only one screaming the whole time. Wdym soothingly calm
More colab please
What a thrill ride this video has been, Mark! The breakdown of the experiments was fascinating and your humor really added to the experience. A very innovative and exciting way of presenting science! Looking forward to the next showdown at CrunchLabs. 👌🚀🔬

Zip em up when your done lil buddy
14:06 That gave me Top Gear vibes sooo bad 😂😂
Technically Nigel was the winner, since he gets to keep a working car. The acid might've damaged the engine, but just by washing it with water, it shouldn't be beyond repair.
He didn't win it, it was already his
He didint win, he just didn't lose

I love how after 2019, all of the science UA-camrs started to collab so much more. Safety Third boys

Nile Red usually spends
half a year or more (usually) planning, researching, and testing multiple iterations give Nile Red this time he would crush everyone.

@@mabogibo525 Nigel + prep time = low diff
Give Kevin half that time and he would come up with some redneck contraption. 😂
Should have let William get in on this more. He’s the only one with the courage to commit to a task at the expense of his own health.
Well Kevin already got 1st degree burns from the lava, what more could you want?
Homie is too busy dropping eggs and calling it a science channel
Honestly he's pretty one dimensional. Not entertaining. Should have had more Allen Pan though.
@@acatwithaids5398 I mean, technically everything is science. Remember when he set a racoon loose in his house? That was science!
If anyone was wondering, a 1.2 carat diamond would be around $350 if it was lab grown, or about $1,300 if natural - perhaps cheaper but that's a reasonable retail value.
Links to examples?
17:11 - Bro went from mark rober to whistlindiesel
I love how Mark said that his lair is secret and unknown to everyone and then William just walks in the back door 😂
13:38 Everyone makes this mistake. Don't hit it with the point on the Anvil. Diamonds are Hard. They are not Tough. Put the flat side on the anvil and hammer the point. That diamond will shatter.

the fact that nigel has actually disintegrated diamonds with heat before...
But he was only allowed to use acid....
Now this is peak big kid content. Makes me feel like I'm back on the playground. Thanks for this, Mark.
I'm a little surprised Mark explained the science behind corrosion, but not the Leidenfrost Effect, which is the reason why the lava was so ineffective against the turkey leg and ice.
what is the liedenfrost effect?
@@vvmvx basically, two things with enough of a temperature difference makes a barrier between them.
It's why something like liquid nitrogen drops can slide across a floor, but also why some really hot things like molten metals don't instantly react with water or ice (lava is molten rock, but close enough)
@@DarkFrozenDepths The cold substance specifically needs to evaporate rapidly for that to happen. Not just random 2 things with different temperatures. You can mix liquid tin and liquid iron without any problem, despite easily 2'000 °C difference in temperature.

If you knew about Mohs hardness scale (or any other hardness scale for that matter), you wouldn't be impressed. Diamond is way harder than mild steel that that cheap anvil is made from. Of course it just makes a dent. The steel is much softer.
@@gorak9000even being aware of the hardness scale it’s still just cool that it does that especially since it’s so tiny
@@gorak9000 ok but knowing something and seeing it in a video are two entirely different things. one is cooler than the other. dont be such a sourpuss.
@@gorak9000 it doesnt matter that its the hardest material if he hit it hard enough it would probably still shatter
@@Romi969 the characteristic of how likely something is to shatter (fragility) and how hard something is are two completely seperate things. Diamonds shatter pretty quickly but are harder than almost everything else on the planet.
3:45 California has a lot to be embarrassed about.
Mark really is a Not-so-Mad Scientist. Whipping out gadgets just… Casually.
I would like to say William and his cronies did a fantastic job refereeing this competition! Just look at the bat round.
The funniest part about the diamond is if he had simply flipped it over and hit it on the culet (the point) it would’ve probably cracked or shattered or at least chipped. Diamonds are strong, but very brittle and some of them don’t actually have a perfect point at the bottom because of it, the culet is slightly flat to make them stronger.
