Nice videos!
solar scorcher vs dry ice
i like the video bro !!!!!
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" what will happen if you pour liquid nitrogen into you foundry?
I'm looking forward to your blown glass sculpture! Thanks for not destroying my house!!
Veritasium yur first!
Much love from Vancouver! great to see a hometownboy so successful!
I love your videos Veritasium, I can't believe you collaborated with Grant!
Veritasium I
Veritasium woohoo
Rip to a legend will be missed by many😓😭
He will be missed 😢
You’re the only person who said that on this video
I already miss him😭😭😭😭
Press f pls
did he die?
A moment of silence for our fallen brother
Yes
For who
@@officialmbmgabe3611 For Grant Thompson the King of Random.
He's not fallen, he's risen to heaven. R.I.P
(Insert long pause here)
I had this exact same question today! And here is Grant with the answer. Awesome video!
+JerryRigEverything Sweet!!
yeah wow
JerryRigEverything how do you think bottles are recycled? do you think they just clean the used ones?
Hi
Glass is glass and glass brakes 🤣
You really need to clean that thing. So much metal residue. In fact, how about make a video on how to properly clean your crucible?
pyromaniac000000 agreed
Was about to comment on how badly he needs to clean out his crucibles. It contaminates and messes up anything he melts in them.
pyromaniac000000 I agree
It looked like the glass could be used to clean the crucible
I've been thinking this since his last crucible before he got the new ones. We seriously need some clean crucibles on here.
Finally something who actually knows a thing or two about what grants doing
Jake Seeber aand about quantum mechanics...
Cody?
1:05 "Accidentally ordered this off Amazon"? What do you mean "Accidentally"?
he didn't think it would be that big
You must not be married. 😑
@@grey7603 He was but he sadly is no longer with us.
@Movie Trailers He had a paragliding accident.
This guy isnt really around to explain anymore
while it's pouring keep it heated with a blow torch as it falls into a mold. Please like so Grant can see this.
A blow torch probably does nothing considering the high temperatures needed.
AckmanDESU maybe it will slow the solidifying on the glass
mk
Grant should make glass radioactive gear
Hey Grant can you think of some way to make a glass play button
NICKILLS I like that idea.
NICKILLS I was going to say that until I saw your comment but I will still say because that means there is more of a chance he will make a glass playbutton
you may have passed away but you will never be forgotten to the king of random
He’s a leg. Taught so many so much. Rest In Peace.
He's not only a leg, he's the whole body.
@@ramslade that is exactly what I was thinking as I read this comment. 🔷〰️🔷
I dare you to make a GLASS UA-cam PLAY BUTTON 😅
You should do Prince Rupert's drop vs some of your home made pyrotechnics. Like if you agree
TheJdollar15 definatley. And he should get a slo mo camera, and shoot it, catch it on film just like smarter everyday did
Damnit I commented that 3 hours before yours and it faded into oblivion ._.
Or since everyone is doing fidget spinner videos, you can get a metal fidget spinner spinning fast with compressed air and see if it can break a Prince Rupert drop
I was thinking that also. Just wanted to know if anyone else was. Some people probably don't know about that. Its know to be almost unbreakable accept if you snip the tail end of the glass
make ur kids a glass bong
DO IT!
PsychedelicFeen LOL and send it to me
lmaooo
420 BlAzE iT m8
lol yes!
I want to see a liquid mixture of glass and metal....
#* Sometime with DIVYANSH yes
An act of heresy!
Idk if it would mix, i think the metal or glass would sink to the bottom
Wont mix for the same reason oil and water dont.
You did
Grant, try melting glass through the solar scorcher. Will the goth go through the glass or will the light burn the glass.
Grant, nitrile gloves are a bad idea. They are the opposite of fireproof. If they catch fire, they will melt to your hands. Upvote so Grant will see this
For heat you really should have high temp foiled gloves, but plain cotton gloves make a pretty decent substitute.
these guys are going to get hurt one day
Ik this is only for science but can u make popcorn in the metal foundry and make the cap fly off ?😂😂😂
Now this is something I'd like to watch
Akuseru2K yes I want to see this too
You two just drank all the Dr. Pepper didn't you
*iTs tHe sWeeT OnE*
GLASS HAS VISCOSITY CONFIRMED
Lol
Ugandan Gamer c
i think they did.
Ugandan Gamer your profile pic is the background of my IPad
I love how Derek is just so much smarter than him. You can really see it in his face, every time Grant wants explain something to the real scientist.
corrected. Thank you.
Its Derek Btw
I'm surprised Derik did a collab with this guy.
cbr Derek is not a scientist, he's a science enthusiast.
Try putting the molten glass in water to make a Rubert's Drop.
GumballMachine3k i like that idea
*googles Rupert's drop* oooh yea.. Thumbs up Gumball's comment so he sees it plz !
I was just scrolling down to make this same recommendation :P
Thanks guys!
Grant I know this is gonna sound weird, but you should open up a p.o. Box so we subscribers can send you some materials for all of the cool experiments you do, because I know some of that stuff gets really expensive. Like you said in your other video the copper gear that copper is expensive and I think we viewers would like to see some more of those casting vids. Like if you agree
Thanks for the suggestion. I just might do that
M&B Hunting yes
M&B Hunting YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS
hey Grant!!! maybe you should see how long it takes to BOIL glass!)
maybe you could also try and put molten glass into a vacuum chamber!!
+Enrique Vazquez hi
After so many years... What this great chennal has become?
how bout crushing the glass first?
you have been playing to much minecraft
How does that mean he plays too much minecraft?
In Minecraft do you crack the glass before melting it?
김진수 well were playing minecraft rn
김진수 no.... You can't melt glass in mc, you can though melt sand 8nto glass
Hey Grant..
I've been asking this since 2 weeks..
Please do a "molten glass dropping into liquid nitrogen."
(Prince Rupert's drop)
please notice me.
they say, the glass dropped turns to a super glass.. like really hard to shatter... (when dropped in liquid nitrogen.)
is this true?
Yeah that would be so cool
Look up Prince Ruberts Drop
prince rupert's drop??
Was meant for Ramya Narendran.
Hey Grant, maybe you could add some soda ash to the glass as you melt it. I've heard that lowers the melting point of glass.
The bottle you made looked just like the original! Well done!
@GrantThompson to keep the glass hot while it drips into the hold, can you try to hold a blowtorch on each side and see if that is able to keep the liquidified glass hot enough to make the mold?
Will the solar scorcher melt glass?
Gaute Robertsen possibly🤔
Yes, it did. He showed it in 1 video
Gaute Robertsen it was in an old video once
Mr. Goodman ps just so u know if y look at 100 year old glass panes the bottom is slightly thicker than the top since the glass flowed downwards
Then you can try glass fidget
You should try to make prince rupert's drops, first with water and then with liquid nitrogen
Irving Galindo yes
Do it
Today
Press channel already did it the other day
i think a smaller crucible with broken up glass will get a better flow,plus make sure its clean of other materials.i really like how you had two propane tanks heating it up,unfortunately i think it might have created an excess because there wasnt enough glass to keep hold of the tempature to keep it liquid because of the extra space in the oversized crucible.
can you melt magnets?
Sassy Cucumber2259 yes
The magnet will degauss and turn to normal alloy.
yes you can but you have to remagnetize it with electricity etc
The reason magnets wrk is because the particles are aligned melting them will de magnitize them
Sassy Cucumber2259 it destroys the magnetic property
What would happen if you made a glass bullet and shot it? would it shatter before it left the barrel or would it survive until impact?
Lukewal99 Get this to top comment this would be an amazing experiment!
Lukewal99 this would be awesome to watch
I think it would be awesome to see. As long as his bullet casting goes better than the bottle. We don't want him to ruin his gun.
This has been done on UA-cam already. The bullets shattered.
shatter. but then it would turn a rifle and a pistle, or whatever you are using, into a shotgun
now you can make molten glass try to make you own prince Rupert's Drops
p.s maybe try it with liquid nitrogen and see if it makes an diverence compared to water.
Stiderspace do it with liquid nitrogen!
Every glassblower out there is cringing at the sight of this 🤣👏
Grant, every king needs a crown, cast one ? $25 ?
Teppo next vid probably
Teppo Likely
Teppo I hope
Teppo totally.
Teppo grant needs to do this.
Now you should make a video about trying to clean that crucible...
Agree
Yes!
I agree
I agree I know someone who does metal casting and he struggles to clean his crucible
Hello There, I'm Axolotl, Esquire haha
Grant, have you ever measured the temperature of your backyard foundry? I wonder how hot glass blowers need to have their foundries.
Make glass sculptures!
DropTube You can actually melt Soda Glass in a camp fire. So, not much depending on the glass.
Makes sense you can melt bronze in a camp fire
Glass blower here, our crucible keeps glass at 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit, if I recall correctly.
That makes sense. Higher grade glasd takes a lot more heat. if you wanna do something fun, put about an inch of lighter fluid into a beer bottle and put it into a campfire. Base in the red and top outside the fire. lol
He now entertaining the heavens with his random ideas
Thumbs up if you nerd out on Varitasium all the time for hours!
lookatmysheeaat il
Can you put sand in the crucible to see if it will turn into glass
It takes more than just sand to make glass
Seems like Silica sand or quartz sand is the primary ingredient, the other ingredients seem pretty easy to get a hold of so I bet he'll be able to do it.
sand + sodium carbonate + calcium carbonate = glass
well, mixed at great temperatures
I already commented that
Minecraft has corrupted society
GRANT IN ACTION!!!
It's really nice seeing both grant and Derek excited about this
Try melting just plain silica sand. Please, I want to see if you can make your own silica glass.
Try making a glass knife
If you can figure out how, glass blowing would be great
+Specific Love Creations I agree!
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" Melt Salt and pure it into water
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" if you turned the cender blocks mabye it would be better
Specific Love Creations that will be so cool plz do it grant
PLS make a glass droplet by letting the molten glass fall into a tank of water. It's solid form becomes almost indestructible!
i know you have almost 10 million, but you deserve so much more.
King of Random - You can make explosive tadpoles easily. These are known as Prince Rupert's Drops. Melt glass really hot and then drip it into ice cold water. The blobs that survive look like tadpoles. Now grip the tadpole with pliers on the tail while submerging the head in a glass of water and snap the tail. The shock wave should break the glass. It helps to degas the water.
When you break the tail it produces a shock wave that can break the glass holding the water. If it doesn't work the tadpole still turns into dust at the bottom of the glass.
Sean Nanoman a
That sounds cool. I'd like to try that!
Gerard Way Follows Dan On Twitter
its called Physics
So, can it turn sand into glass?
Scot Chaffin yes
Can you make a alloy of molten Glass and Copper?
Yep, the two things he has trouble with, let's stick with that.
I need to see this.
The ancients mixed metals with their glass. Maybe you should be more open to new ideas...
King of random! We throw bottles in a camp fire and they change shape from the heat!
hey grant! could you honour the challenge of glass blowing, by melting down a few soda bottles and blow a bowl big enough for a bottle of soda! Goodluck!
he should definitely try, but I blow glass, and what he melted wasn't nearly melted enough to blow glass. Little foundry will need to get much hotter.
Use the molten glass to make glass ingots. Like if you agree so They can see!!
Or try and melt a metal with it and try to make glass metal ingots
The glasses on the thumbnail looks like a smiley !
7:52 That's me in the bathroom a week after Chipotle and Taco Bell
I feel ya RIP
you could try to use the solar scorcher to cast the glass into something
you could try to make glass with the solar scorcher
Yeah, that would be cool!
Anneliese o'callaghan bong
Can you use a vacuum chamber to de-carbonate soda?
mankey 13579 all you need to do is shake it up but yes you can
mankey 13579 jes
mankey 13579 it happened to he when i left soda in the hot car and it tasted horrible
cheeriosspagetty leave that's not s vacuum Chamber lmfao
you can do that at home. all you have to do is buy some soda and put it in and glass and leave it......
Make some glass bowls with melted glass. Put thumbs up if you agree
Maybe try having a metal pan on a grill to keeo it warm then get a blowpipe to blow the glass and use the pan or something else to shape it and hopefully the grill will keep it warm enough to take shape and not solidify. You could also try having someone with a blowtorch on the glass itself to keep it heated. I wanna see you make somethin outta glass its got me excited!
When blowing glass you use wet newspaper to shape it (while wearing a heatproof glove obviously)
Grand Thompson - "The King of Collab" :)))
Kzam the king of 10 minutes
Hey grant , Can you use the solar schorcher in sand?
Hey Grant! Just a thought, but can your foundry melt crystals like quartz? What about others? You could melt salt into cool molds
Michael I. but dude isnt it just a crystallized gas?
Michael I. I don't know what's going on in your head but you do realize that quartz, or SiO2, is a covalent compound, meaning its melting point is very high (around 1700C). This glass was merely at some 700-1000C and the copper he melted previously only melts at 1000C too. Other crystals or covalent crystaline structures are similar and most even harder to melt. Think before you write, dumbfuck.
Fauzan Raif Dhiaurrahman. Quartz is a combo of oxygen and silicon. I'm assuming that the oxygen would burn off and leave silicon. Or the quartz could have chemical bonds holding it together creating completely different properties
Peter Bucek someone loves Wikipedia
We all miss you grant, you brought so much to out lives. You were an amazing guy and im sure your looking down at what this chanel is now and smiling at it.
What about pouring molten glass into liquid nitrogen, would it make a super strong Prince Rupert's Drop?
The leidenfrost effect would make it cool too slowly to form a PRD, water has a higher heat capacity, and cools glass _FASTER_ than liquid N2.
grant if helium makes your voice go higher and sulfur hexafluoride makes your voice go lower what will happen if you take both gasses at the same time?
John Ulrich Seludo it creates mustard gas
yes do it
John Ulrich Seludo nothing
he did that with Lance Stewart
under 5 insane science experiments
I don't know much about crucibles , but could you try to melt one?
ToTo Mania you would have to make the foundry extremely hot
If you mean the graphite crucible then you will need an insanely high temperature like 3000 or 4000 degrees C and it would have to be under a lot pressure. It has a higher melting point than diamond.
ToTo Mania You know theres a reason why this material is used.
flying cow make some thermite
ToTo Mania They made not to melt. This a low temperature furnace. They can get a lot hotter.
I work in a bronze foundry and my boss (casting for 50+ years) says he used to use glass bottles to clean up the molten bronze in the crucible
hey, King of Random. what will happen if you mix the melted glass with melted metal (brass, copper, iron, or anything metal) and what it looks like when it get cooled down. is it possible to mix them together ? 👑 🕶️
O
Metal powders are how you add color to glass.
Can you do a video on how to make your own break away bottles??
You should try making your own glass. Like super heating sand.
you need much more than sand and it would be a process only a high-end company could make, though that would be cool
be interesting to try though, sand does need to be melted at slightly higher temperatures but that glass melted easily enough
ahh didnt know that
all it takes is sand limestone dust and some flux
You should TOTALLY do glass blowing!!!
You should've made a "Prince Rupert's Drop" from the molten glass
don't think that's possible with only that forge l. You would have to super heat it to about 2000 degrees for it to melt and stay melted for enough time to make the drop. But if he gets a different one. Deafinetly possible.
Or you can just take a glass rod and use a propane torch to heat the glass up. You don't need some super forge
Now try to melt the glass with the Dr. Pepper in the glass.
What happens to a live bullet in the foundry? Will it fire or melt.
The gunpowder will go off pretty quickly, long before any of the metal melts.
PolyJohn even if that's the case id still like to see it in action.
K
We used a normal Bunsen burner to draw out glass tube to make a pipette in our chemistry lessons, so I knew that a gas fuelled kiln would be able to melt glass. I was a bit disappointed that Veritassium didn’t figure the whole thing out beforehand. Someone with an engineering degree should be able to look up the melting point of glass, the expected temperature that a kiln would achieve and come prepared. But maybe he just wanted to keep it random!
Hey grant can u try to cast a glass mini master sword it would be pretty cool
oooo, i second that
InfuriousFlames Gaming I was gonna say that
InfuriousFlames Gaming unfortunately glass doesn't work like that. There are ways around, but only in a glass studio. I'm afraid that the backyard will not cut it. 🙁 I would actually like to see him try in a studio though!!!
Make a glassblowing video! I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!
Woo Doggie
+Tejas Gajare it wont mix
dude when are you gona make glass play button?!
I have softened bottles in a backyard fire pit. They softened enough to push into other shapes with a long stick.
If alcohol like vodka , cannot freeze , maybe u can mix vodka with food color , and then deep it in liquid nitrogen , will it change the liquid nitrogen color ? or will it freeze.
all liquids can freeze vodka and other alcohol freezes at much lower temps than water
It will freeze. Ethanol freezes at -115°C, nitrogen boils at -196°C.
What happens if you put a light bulb in the vacuum chamber?
TheBirdNerd o
Now that you can melt glass you should try glass blowing with it
If only that had been mentioned on the video!
I make neon signs which entails heating glass tubing to a softening point in various burners to bend it to shape. The burners used are either natural gas or LPG and air which is more than enough to melt soft glasses but not quite enough for borosilicate.
Could you turn sand into glass
Sure. With enough heat and pressure, that's part of what happens when you fire ammunition or explosives into sand...it turns into a muddy glass.
Yvonne Siggemann yes
minecraft fan XD dont blame you same here XDXDDDDDD
Yvonne Siggemann yeah but it's a really difficult process the channel "how to make everything" attempted several times but he never got a clear glass
I agree
Can jet fuel melt steel beams?
Bottomline Stinger the twin towers theory
Bottomline Stinger ofc everyone knows that
Bottomline Stinger no but thermite will
Bottomline Stinger I don't know if jet fuel can but bush can
Duh look at 9-11
Make a glas play butten
great idea
Bast 123 yes
That'll be an awesome idea!
we used to melt beer bottles in a camp fire ...this looks like a lot more fun!
you should try to make a Prince Rupert's drop!
grant you should
can you do experiments with a prince Rupert's drop?
Try to make glass poke balls
Yes
Next Episode!
Try to put liquid oxygen in the vacuum chamber
Glass can only be molded at very high temperatures. It completely melts/liquifies at approximately 1400 °C to 1600 °C depending on the composition of glass. Glass is made from a variety of substances, depending on the intent of use. Mostly sand, lime and soda are what most glasses are made of.
Can the solar scorcher melt glass ?
I think at most it would get hot enough to crack the glass, but the solar scorcher is not as hot as the foundry.
The surface of the sun is about 11000 degrees, and if I'm able to get easily to 550 degrees with my 3x3 inch magnifying glass, a 36x36 magnifying glass would be extremely hot. If the glass was black it would probably melt.
Well it can liquify concrete and steel so yeah definitely...Depends on what season probably.
Grant, you cant treat glass like a metal, if you really want to make a glass blowing episode, you will need a fresh crucible and more heat. The glass should be at an orange-ish glow, and make sure you dont get it around any dirt, or else the glass will have a ton of imperfections
Make glass marbles king of random style and if it works you can sell them
Like if want to see!
I've melted bottles in a regular campfire
JoeMotta M ,Hi , how long was your camp fire burning? , I tried to melt glass in a camp fire but it would not melt ?
Mike Espo
He might have meant plastic bottles but I'm not sure, I could be wrong though
No glass. Just a massive bonfire will do it
Can it heat up sand hot enough to become glass ?
You have the internet, use it.
Johnee FukHause no, the question is if grant can
U have to do more then just heat up sand
what happens if you get sand has hot it can get and the puring it into water
Could the Solar Scorcher melt glass directly inside a mold?
what will happen if you put fire resistant things in the furnace?
Please get this likes so Grant can see it
...it'll melt.
Armando Perez 😭
you mean like the fire resistant wool lining he already has in the foundry?
