There must be people willing to pay very large amounts of money for these castings given the planning, equipment,materials and labour involved in the process. Very interesting to watch!
@@Grey_Duck The most effective way of dealing with Meat Ants, as with so much other hostile and dangerous wildlife, is living somewhere far from Australia.
That's just incredible. 1. An ant colony being that large. 2. The amount of aluminum needed to cast that. 3. How deep you had to dig in order to get it all. 4. How long it took to do the whole thing. Just all incredible.
Irfan Rusdianto that's a very insignificant loss, because the millions of dead ants in this colony were immediately made up for in other colonies about 12 seconds after all them died.
I suspect this group has done this before, clearly a project like this requires a great deal of obvious planning and probably just as much not so obvious planing. As someone who appreciates planning and a job well done I commend you all...turned out awesome.
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
@@jesus2621 It's VERY hard to imagine ANTS thinking. They aren't even bright enough to be aware of their own existence. They are biological robots, nothing more. Stimulus-response machines.
i heard one went out and ordered 400 cases of coke (cola)and plants to do a molten metal pour with all the empty tins if he is able to get out his seat after drinking it all.
But melting down soda cans is really popular because they're available but they're actually one of the worst kinds of scrap aluminum because they are thin and make a lot of aluminum oxide and slag
It seems a very clean and quick way to deal with ants, this method. Aluminium isn't too hard to get. That casting mould and heating source may be harder, but not difficult. A bit of planning and it should be a sure way to get rid of an any colony once and for all.
Sorry if I'm late to the party but if these ants are so good for the environment, why did you kill them? Not trolling, I'm honestly curious and there is zero information in the vid.
Imagine the Ants trying to run away from the aluminum with this song But dang the place where they used to be is like the mushroom forest on subnautica
People here are acting like these ants had families in a different hive that are waiting for them... ants don't have a complex enough nervous system to feel pain, even if the nest wasn't abandoned, they didn't suffer while dieing. And this didn't even make a dent in the quadrillions of ants living on the planet.
I never knew that casting ant nests was an actual job. This is glorious, I would never do this because I have a phobia of bugs but watching them all suffer is delicious!
Nauman Alvi if you turn the sound down you can almost hear all their little bodies exploding as the soft tissues vaporize inside the exoskeleton. Sizzle sizzle pop pop!
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
I have never seen anything like this before... just wandered if those ants were still in there? It was amazing to watch and I love the art form of it all.
Occupied by a full colony. There's another of this channels videos where they used resin instead of metal. Pretty interesting what was discovered in the cross sections of the pour. You should check it out if you want to see the inside of a bull ant colony.
BriBri the nest is abandoned.. If it weren't, the ants would be EEEEEVERYWHERE. These are meat ants (Iridomyrmex purpureus) and believe me, they don't take kindly to people poking around their nest.
I guess the sale of the resulting pieces were worth the time, trouble and expense of it all? Not knocking what was done, just trying to figure out why all the manpower and expense?
That was absolutely amazing to watch and the end result was just incredible. I've been to Australia and I seen thousands of termite mounds. But I never seen anything like that lol just mind blowing. Thank you for posting such an awesome video.
One day (independence day?) aliens will arrive over planet earth and they wonder "is that a subway system there in New York, how does is work?" For sure they will flood millions of tons of mealted aluminium over the people. Just because the aliens want to know how it looks down there in the Subway tunnels. We mealted humans will be so thankful to be a part of alien science. Hope they will come soon...

Not sure if this is what I saw, but I do recall on a trip to Australia seeing a 2 inch wide, 1 inch deep "Ant Highway" running straight-line for about 8 meters between two trees. Mother Nature wrote the original "Time is on my side", and she will take it back eventually. Most interesting place.

I wonder if it has any impact on the ecosystem in the local areas where you take out that large of a population from one species. I am lacking the expertise and knowledge about the local flora and fauna, so I am just wondering. I can imagine that when you take out one species in a local area, that other species that might even be less desirable might have a better chance to survive and might even become a local plague. And ants help to remove organic materials that are very flammable if left out in the open. And when a nest becomes abandoned it will form an easy passage for water to enter the soil. So they might be small, but they do very important work and they form a very important part from the all the species that form the farmers of the land. They are part of a larger system that is at work. Together with other species they help to remove and recycle possible flammable materials. And they also help to kill the larvae from species that we consider as less desirable for our crops, like for example grasshoppers. And they help to keep the soil porous and easy to penetrate for water. And they form a source of food, that might have been there for decades, that other species need to survive. Like birds or reptiles or other insects. I understand that there are a lot of ants on the planet, but I am talking about the impact on the ecosystems in those local areas. The ants did a job that is very useful for us humans, our cattle and our crops, and the entire local ecosystem. I just hope that all involved keep that in mind. Other then that I think just as anyone else that it looks amazingly beautiful.
Finish product of the aluminum pour make for beautiful ornamental viewing, but terrifying as to what is not visible below your feet..I can't even hazard a guess when estimating the number of 🐜 cast in this production considering the size of the area..How many millions of millions still happily going about their land occupation..
Congratulations, it's really a great job! How did you build this big furnace ? is it with ceramic fiber or refractory cement? what is its inner diameter?
From my personal opinion. . You guys love creativity by working very hard on destroyed natural habitat. . Well great thumb up.. Keep going. . All action is being observed. .
Sinceforth that day was known in the ant community as "The great pouring"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 they are mini humans, their world got flooded with hot lava metal 😂 rip!
Shame their Noah couldn't build a boat, for this time the flood was one of heat, death and fire.
They're all living things 🙄😒
"Henceforth"
There must be people willing to pay very large amounts of money for these castings given the planning, equipment,materials and labour involved in the process. Very interesting to watch!
Exactly my train of thought
Yeah why don't People think about that instead
yeah my immediate thought was why? someone must be paying $$ for this kind of stuff
That or possibly for research purposes
@@davidferreras195 Some cast ants because they're there.
When flipped upside down the nest looks like a futuristic city
Reminds me of that Skyrim DLC city
ants be living in a cyberpunk city
I get Mushroom Forest vibes from Subnautica.
id say it looks more like machinarium
Its like 25 nests not one!

Your comment is pretty obnoxious.
People eat factory produced meat and ironically worry about ants dying in the comments section.

If you think that is large check out leaf cutter ants from argentina... several trucks of concrete
yeah it took them 3 minutes 29
how many life they kill?
SukoYote yes that was incredible! Make a beautiful art piece and at the same time kill those biting ants.

Ant lover: clicks video called aluminum casting ant nest
Also ant lover: gets triggered from watching ants get killed by aluminum
More like they just came in to complain
But they're not good ant
@@raflidiot very true
I'm fine with ants but if I see any in my house I'd probably introduce them to liquid aluminium too
After being triggered they go out protesting, burning their own neighborhood. After that they voted Democrat.

I love these videos so far. Especially turning the ant hills into aluminum.
I really wish you wouldn't put music in these, you can't hear the natural sounds, and the crackle of the molten metal
tiny little ant screams maybe
So you want chipmunk sound, yeah real natural.. or did you want a 24+ hour video XD
why not both? thats what the pros do: a timelapse interrupted by some realtime closeups with narration.
It was a terrible rendition of the "Fringe" theme
You know humans are fuck up when they treated this as art.
Backyard scientist probably went out collecting aluminum scrap minutes after this was posted.

This is a slightly bigger operation than pouring aluminum on one fire ant mound....
In the ground it would be good inspiration for a D&D dungeon crawl, flipped over looks like star wars alien city.
Love it how well cordinated everyone was and how they had a planed everything and that they were wearing some safety equipment

Honey, this nest was dead long before you were

came across these by chance and havent stoppedwatching them since mesmerising to watch anyone agree??? best one iv seen yet by far 10/10 lads
