- Melting Elemental Silicon with an HHO Torch
We are melting Silicon with an oxyhydrogen flame. Contrary to our expectations, the element did not start burning. Instead it stayed shiny even at high temperatures. I thought this rare property was worth sharing.

Very cool chunk of rock
Thanks for linking me👍🏼 was a awesome day of doing experiments 👍🏼😜
Could you hypothetically melt silicone wafers to make new wafers for computer chips? A lot of e-waste is being built up and a process in which we recycle our current resources would be a great way to combat not only e-waste, but slave labor as well.
Cool experiment. I recently got pure elemental silicon and have no clue if I'll perform any experiments with it. I'm sure I will keep some for my periodic table collection, but I can't think of any reactions I want to perform yet.
I´ve also saved some Si. Making SiCl4 is a cool, but very dangerous experiment. The next videos will be about my element collection, I´ve recently ampouled some liquid chlorine that i want to show off. Do you think a video about ampouling gases would be interesting?
@@SomeAustrianGuy Chlorine is always an adrenaline rush! I can't wait for seeing your next projects.
Cool great go.
Try to melt ice on it
nices Video👍
are you sure hho flame can burn at 3000 celsius?
Yes
You shouldn't use that term "HHO". It's a name crackpots made up and it's intrinsically tied to pseudoscience revolving around "free energy", "water cars" and other stupid stuff like that. It's literally made up in recent years in those circles.
It's called oxyhydrogen or simply hydrogen-oxygen torch or Daniell burner (see patents.google.com/patent/US703940 or pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/1877/js/js8773100438/unauth#!divAbstract).
