      I beg to differ. (About the water part duh) water is NOT wet. A single molecule of water has the properties to MAKE things wet. 2 molecules of water are wet, beacuse they make each other wet. Does that make sesne?

      Folks DON'T do what this knuclehead did with the CO2 canister! The bottom of that tank could have unzipped and removed his head from his body at 800 psig. I speak from experience as I had to drive a friend to hospital after a mere garden sprayer unzipped at the bottom at 60 psig and the canister jetted into his face. He was lucky to survive as the metal handle took out his teeth, his nose and missed his eye by millimeters.

      Basically the gallium is creeping through the aluminium creating an alloy, as far as I understand it the aluminium then can be oxidized and since the gallium can not form an alloy with aluminium oxide it is pushed further into the unoxidized aluminium, repeating the process.

    • @the_undead
      @the_undead Před rokem +4

      I'm fairly certain that clip at the end was with a different CO2 container or if it was the same one it was recorded before because when he drops it on the ground there is no output at the base which there would be if it was the same canister at a later point in time compared to the first clip when he put gallium on it. So no I don't think he does regret it because honestly I don't see anything that dangerous in this video apart from that clip at the very end where the CO2 caster starts spinning around but that's probably all it's going to do is just spin until it has no more pressure in it to drive the spinning. Does pressurized canisters are designed to take some amount of abuse before they fail completely because you don't want what would otherwise be a relatively minor accident having several fatalities because you were shipping pressurized canisters that failed in a situation where our otherwise there wouldn't have been any harmed humans.

      ​@@the_undead edit: I just rewatched at .25x speed at full resolution for a frame or 2 at 12:05 you can see the frost line where the crack is. Also the tank, it's noticably scratched and dented and the tank he is holding after had the same dents and scratches.
      CO2 is liquid in the container and flashes over to gas as it comes out, when this happens it also makes frost or really dry ice. It's possible the ice clogged the crack. You may be right and it's a different tank but I don't think lack of gas coming out the bottom is proof.
      Also CO2 expands around 500 to 1 so I think that tank should have sprayed for a lot longer if it was a new one. But we don't know how much it started with or what was edited out.

At least not If it's out of pressure where it can spin the canister or send it flying or similar.

      @dwaynesykes694 Před 4 měsíci +2

      ​@@the_undead dry ice and/or ice absolutely are strong enough to plug a crack in a high pressure container. The majority of strain on a pressure vessel is tensile force. Imagine any given cross section of the tank as a rubber band, and the gas inside trying to stretch it out in every direction. In the case of filling a crack, all you need is enough compressive strength to hold against the pressure. Dry ice has a compressive strength of ~30Mpa (4351 psi). The ice is more than capable of stopping flow from the crack, but does little to nothing for the overall structural integrity of the pressure vessel. This was quite possibly the most dangerous thing I've witnessed on this channel... but I'm gonna keep watching to see if he takes things even farther!
      On a sidenote, Florida has a sizable cave diving community and scuba shops catering to those individuals are more than happy to do "cave fills" on scuba tanks. Should be able to find a shop pretty easily that'll pump a 3000psi rated aluminum tank up to 3600psi. Should make for a much more interesting video than CO2. Bonus points for pure oxygen and throwing the tank in a pool while there's ignition source(s) nearby. Oxygen from the tank plus hydrogen from the al/h2o reaction... should be interesting.

      That was either a different tank or the same tank before he exposed it to gallium. I'm really surprised by the amount of people who aren't giving any thought to the fact that a lot of the safety procedures would be going on behind the scenes. When you see a rated PSI on a canister that is the manufacturer of that canister saying you can go up to this pressure and the container can still withstand some amount of force being applied to it without any explosions happening, and dropping a canister like that on dirt wouldn't be that much energy being exerted on the walls so the chances of it breaking would be practically nil especially because it definitely was not at full pressure by that point

      Pure liquid mercury is not so bad, its only once its bonded with certain organic compounds that it becomes super toxic.
