The crucibles you are currently using are good for silver, gold and aluminum. Copper likes to eat through the crucibles you are currently using. If you plan to melt any other metals like copper or iron you need to use graphite clay crucibles. You should constantly check on the copper because. The longer you leave it exposed to the high heat the higher chance you have all your metal oxidizing. You should use copper or aluminum instead of the tin. Because they're melting temperature is much higher than the tin’s.

Last session of the day and my Chemistry teacher (“The Doc”) and the Physics teacher were bouncing ideas off of each other on how to conduct an experiment that was set for the Year 12 Physics class. They then disappeared and came back with some alligator clips attached to a light globe, a voltmeter, a battery pack, and some holding support that contained a small fan of sorts. Not sure if that’s all correct, but they were making a circuit that was capable of producing blinding photons of light, where they reached something like 16V and the fan-thing spun off and hit the board behind them, as this massive crack was heard from the light being produced.

RE: Safety. DO NOT wear nitrile, rubber, latex, or really anything synthetic when doing work with high temps. It can easily melt and cause even more damage then just bare skin. be safe.
Don't you think this is intentional? This is his more relaxed channel. I would do this too. Have one channel for Sirius educational purposes, and another for fun.
I love how on the First channel he's like "I'm not recording and continuing until I get this specific gloves to protect me from specifically this and I'll not use my crucible and Heater if theres a single deformation or weird color". but in here hes like "Yo Fam this Fucking Heater could explode if i use it 40.2873 seconds specifically and My gloves are now flammable because of the acid on it, anyways, let's Add Molten Metal on gunpowder."
We are talking about the same guy that once said, halfway through an experiment: "Come to think of it, I find rocket launches quite boring. I don't know why I decided to do this..."
The vapor film around the hot bronze is the called the Leidenfrost effect. The "explosion" occurs when the bronze-water interface drops below the Leidenfrost temperature and flashes the water to steam creating a pressure wave that breaks the glass.
It's correct that the Leidenfrost effect creates the explosion, but Derg is incorrect. It's not about cooling faster, although the lower submersion does help the pressure buildup. You can see the first one didn't succeed because the fluid stream didn't break apart and the Leidenfrost effect formed a chimney for hot gas to escape from the bottom and prevented pressure buildup. The second time we see the drop separating and getting covered from all sides. What matters is the water cover, a lot of it. I hope this explains it.
The phenomenon of the explosions is called (creatively) "Vapor Explosions." I had a nuclear engineering prof tell us that it happens during reactor meltdowns when the molten core hits the coolant. It has to do with the water penetrating the metal then vaporizing, breaking it apart creating a chain reaction. If I remember correctly, it results in shards sizes in the microns. The guy said Oakridge paid him to figure out how to make it not happen while the DoD paid him to figure out how to make it happen even more. It was an interesting 1 credit seminar
@@penitentman7139 We find each other in the strangest places. Although I must admit, I far preferred Day R of 10 years ago to Day R today. Perhaps that's just nostalgia, but almost every addition and update takes the game further from the game I so enjoyed.
The guy behind the camera reminds me of that one friend we have or know that pushes the bad ideas on to us and we gladly comply. Was pretty funny how he pulled the "meeting" excuse at the end there.
So now after reviewing of content its confirmed that NileRed and NileBlue are indentical twins with different ideas but both giving us same interesting and educational videos
None of us truly can be. But most chemistry people have enough sense to know when it would be catastrophic to be a chaos elemental. Oddly enough, molten metals are pretty chill!
Okay… I feel called out too! 😂 I guess I have a little bit less risk when shenanigan-ing about in a restaurant kitchen… somehow they trust me there, but there’s no way I’d be allowed in a lab ever again.
I think the temperature of the metal when you actually pour it could be making a large difference. it could be allowing a stronger leidenfrost effect to occur (or potentially too strong) meaning the water doesnt touch the metal until it hits the bottom and cools off a bit.
it's not always about "too expensive"... just because someone has more money than the average doen't mean that they automatically stop caring about their stuff and trashing everything because "hey, we got the money" there is no reason to be unnecessarly wasteful just because you have the money to buy more
I love NileRed’s slammy nature lol I wouldn’t want to *experience* it, cause I’m too easily startled/sensitive to that kind of chaos energy, but boy is it enjoyable to watch from afar hahah
Great video! Pyrometallurgy is my favorite. I "grained" precious metals for a few years on a large scale and the constant explosions were hard to deal with. Our solution to calm it down a little bit was to get our water moving with pressure washers / high pressure inlet-outlet lines, and to have the water VERY cold. We played around with different alloy mixes as well, but didn't ever have any solid results. As far as why it happened to us, we assumed it had something to do with the copper content of the alloy, the amount of slag and impurities in our materials, and the Leidenfrost effect creating those steam pockets beneath the solidifying metal. We once poured a little too quickly and launched a stainless steel tank with 150 gallons of water well over a foot off the concrete!

Hey Nile! Long time watcher. You helped me get re-interested (is that a word) in chem and I'm currently over at UofT doing my grad work in biochem! Don't think I'd be here without your content.
11:04 I love how he always adds a "probably" when it's most likely a "definitely" but it's more of a "definitely but I don't want to be held accountable when something probably goes wrong"
Yeah that's something I've noticed about him. He's really scared of saying anything with certainty, even when there's no way for it to be anything other than certain. "If I put this pan of water on high heat and let it sit there for six hours, it will probably boil away and probably severely damage the pan."
15:01 - Those are the impurities in the metals, when melting down any metals, the stuff that's not metal burns up and floats. It's usually skimmed off to keep the pour as pure as possible, usually if your making ingots or pouring a mold of some kind.
2:24 "It's only worth it if you capture it on film." In this case I completely agree. People take a statement like that to heart and think they have to film absolutely everything.
I like how he just yeets the gloves off, but never shows footage of putting it on. I like to imagine the floor is littered with gloves, and through years of training he's taught himself to re-grow his own on his hand.

The vapor film around the hot bronze is the called the Leidenfrost effect. The "explosion" occurs when the bronze-water interface drops below the Leidenfrost temperature and flashes the water to steam creating a pressure wave that breaks the glass.
me me big boy
the metal probably cools faster as soon as it hits the bottom, therefor making this happen. makes sense
Whoooooa thts so cool
It's correct that the Leidenfrost effect creates the explosion, but Derg is incorrect. It's not about cooling faster, although the lower submersion does help the pressure buildup. You can see the first one didn't succeed because the fluid stream didn't break apart and the Leidenfrost effect formed a chimney for hot gas to escape from the bottom and prevented pressure buildup. The second time we see the drop separating and getting covered from all sides. What matters is the water cover, a lot of it. I hope this explains it.
Nile knows that

he's so funny oml he says everything in such a calm voice and takes his gloves off in such a dramatic way
i was thinking the same thing he literally throws his gloves every time
The phenomenon of the explosions is called (creatively) "Vapor Explosions." I had a nuclear engineering prof tell us that it happens during reactor meltdowns when the molten core hits the coolant. It has to do with the water penetrating the metal then vaporizing, breaking it apart creating a chain reaction. If I remember correctly, it results in shards sizes in the microns. The guy said Oakridge paid him to figure out how to make it not happen while the DoD paid him to figure out how to make it happen even more. It was an interesting 1 credit seminar

The guy behind the camera reminds me of that one friend we have or know that pushes the bad ideas on to us and we gladly comply.
Was pretty funny how he pulled the "meeting" excuse at the end there.
I think he's Nilered's brother. Let's call him Nilegreen.

“I constantly lose everything”
12:51 *just throws the glove somewhere on the floor*
i imagine he picked it up right after. what i think is more noteworthy is the fact that he has like 50 drawers in that room alone
On one hand, this guy really makes me want to become a chemist.
On the other hand, there's no way I can be trusted around _any_ of this stuff
It dosent look like he can either
None of us truly can be. But most chemistry people have enough sense to know when it would be catastrophic to be a chaos elemental. Oddly enough, molten metals are pretty chill!
Okay… I feel called out too! 😂 I guess I have a little bit less risk when shenanigan-ing about in a restaurant kitchen… somehow they trust me there, but there’s no way I’d be allowed in a lab ever again.
He makes his job look fun. I mean they have enough time and a whole lab to themselves to make all these videos
@@Ace-zx9ix ether
I think the temperature of the metal when you actually pour it could be making a large difference. it could be allowing a stronger leidenfrost effect to occur (or potentially too strong) meaning the water doesnt touch the metal until it hits the bottom and cools off a bit.
Nile: buys gold dust and areo gel and silver
Also nile: omg 20 dollar jar too expensive

it's not always about "too expensive"... just because someone has more money than the average doen't mean that they automatically stop caring about their stuff and trashing everything because "hey, we got the money"

He’s the evil one.
It's so damn glorious lol, he's so chaotic
Great video! Pyrometallurgy is my favorite. I "grained" precious metals for a few years on a large scale and the constant explosions were hard to deal with. Our solution to calm it down a little bit was to get our water moving with pressure washers / high pressure inlet-outlet lines, and to have the water VERY cold. We played around with different alloy mixes as well, but didn't ever have any solid results. As far as why it happened to us, we assumed it had something to do with the copper content of the alloy, the amount of slag and impurities in our materials, and the Leidenfrost effect creating those steam pockets beneath the solidifying metal. We once poured a little too quickly and launched a stainless steel tank with 150 gallons of water well over a foot off the concrete!

It's so weird watching him talk with emotion instead of a monotone voice
11:04 I love how he always adds a "probably" when it's most likely a "definitely" but it's more of a "definitely but I don't want to be held accountable when something probably goes wrong"
Yeah that's something I've noticed about him. He's really scared of saying anything with certainty, even when there's no way for it to be anything other than certain.
"If I put this pan of water on high heat and let it sit there for six hours, it will probably boil away and probably severely damage the pan."
15:01 - Those are the impurities in the metals, when melting down any metals, the stuff that's not metal burns up and floats. It's usually skimmed off to keep the pour as pure as possible, usually if your making ingots or pouring a mold of some kind.
Also called dross or slag. Using a flux like borax can help pull the impurities out as well.
