- I test to see if a fusible alloy can destroy aluminium the way that gallium or mercury does.
I only tested the one alloy (mostly because I didn't have any spare cadmium) but I think anything with tin in it should act similarly.

"It's about 3 nano-lightseconds long."
Never change, Cody.
HaveSomeRekage so is that not a proper form of measurement?
@@mattmarks9076 I can't tell if you're joking or not
Matt, you need help. Seriously.
Anay Pareek Just in case he isn't... Yes it is a proper unit of length measurement. You might be more familiar with light years.
According to a quick internet research the piece of aluminium is 89.9377374 cm long.
One thing I've noticed in watching many of Cody's videos: He doesn't sleep...
Sleep?.?? What's that?
Sleep is for the weak.
i thought the same o.0
@@ranSmsB Ahh that explains why I haven't heard of it.
I think it is pretty common for youtubers to film at night. It cuts down on the noise from traffic and neighbors.
"Wait, when did Cody win the Fields Medal?"
- Me misreading the title
He won for Cody’s Theorem, which allows him to measure how many nanolightseconds long a piece of aluminum is
HOW PEOPLE FIND THE LENGTHS OF OBJECTS.
USA- imperial
EVERYONE ELSE- metric
Me-count with fingers
Cody- “Its about three nano light seconds long”
ikikuraz my girlfriend said it first
Lmao
You missed out:
MIT students- Mr Smoot
The USA uses United States customary units, not the imperial system.
the usa system is based on the imperial system'
As always good content that I can watch instead of sleeping
Timezones make CZcams weird.
@@thesentientneuron6550 same. Its 11 am where I'm at
I'm going back to sleep.
Or watch instead of working! (time zones are fun, but the result is similar!)
LOL
3 nano-light seconds long lmao
hi
I literally went "HA!" really loudly when he said that. LOL
Caught me off guard lol
When you dont wanna use metric or imperial
I was just wondering if it counts as metric.
Cody's got his own table of elements. Luminum, Neodyminium, etc. Might need some Bletch on standby too :P
Bletch is my favorite part of this channel
Neodiddlyum*
@@diogoayres7953 Neodiddlyum was not actually discovered by Cody, but a Canadian research team at the AvE workshop.
Acrost
Lmao I read the comments before starting the video. Since you pointed that out, that's all I hear now
Why did you use grams and celcius we dont understand this unit
*YOU SHOULD'VE SAID NUMBER OF ATOMS MEASURED BY PLANCK'S CONSTANT AND KELVIN*
planck's constant has dimensions J.s bro, why are you acting dumb?
@@Walczyk r/whoooosh
Maybe the alloy is absorbing into the structure of the aluminium and when you let it solidify again the crystals expand slightly, pushing the aluminium crystals slightly apart. Would also explain why it’s slightly raised on the surface
Dexis i would go further and blame the tin or maybe bismuth (looks a bit like tin pest and bismuth expands on cooling if i remember right)
Is it possible that in cooling more water is reacting, and possibly more oxidation occurs then?
Yeah, I think the high temperatures aren't allowing water to interact, since the air around the hot plate becomes very thin with heat, there are just fewer molecules around to interact. But without the heat, the actual alloy can't interact with the "luminum" so the cycle is seemingly the best way to do it.
That's actually a plausible reason.
Dexis I was going to the comment section to comment exactly this!
This reminded me a bit of the time Cody made grey tin.
Didn't take that long thou :p
The moment I saw the grey looking substance I thought of beta tin too
Smit Lord you genuinely disgust me with how good that pun was
I may or may not have just bought some vintage tin solder molds. the battle of the pest is coming.
Cody'sLab this is going to be good, I can feel ot
I actually thought you'd been awarded mathematics' highest honor and were about to do chemistry to your Fields' Medal because that's just how baller you are.
Absolutely love the absurd units of measure you use in your videos. Please keep it up, it's become an Easter egg I've come to look forward to.
The heat must have been keeping the local humidity too low to progress the reaction. That was pretty surprising that it reacted with water so aggressively. Seems like that could be harnessed for an emergency battery or something.
Exactly what I was thinking, the heat drove the water off and limited the reaction, when he put it in water it went off like a frog in a sock. Wonder if the water is acting like a catalyst to the reaction.
oh rob, troll fail. try again.
Yeah, this was my thought as well. Aside from humidity (in terms of percentage), heated air just has lower density of molecules entirely, which might keep the relative humidity the same, while still driving away water molecules so they can't oxidize the "luminum"
There was a breakthrough on this from the US Army Research Laboratory last year. (No details yet, unfortunately, because they're still working on the patent, but you can find articles about it online.) What Cody has done appears to be a catalyst-based reaction, which has trouble with the speed of the reaction.
hell with enough of it you could make a torch out of it (which would be super cool)
Whats this "luminum" he's talking about? ;)
+Julesernes
Instead of mediating the battle between 'aluminium' and 'aluminum', he has made a new name, 'luminum. That way no-one can complain.
+yeah nah fuck you for that picture
+Veyran
Why? It is an ineffective prank, as completely blank avatars aren't common. Now, if it was a normal-looking avatar with an insect or hair, then I'd agree with you.
+Callumunga
Now we'll just argue about 'luminum' vs 'luminium' instead
It's a colloquial thing. Cody be country folk.
"Ive got this peice of aluminum here, its about 3 nano light seconds long"
damn you cody this is why i love you
It probably soaks in laterally faster than vertically because the angle would have been extruded. The grain structure of the aluminum would probably be stretched in the direction of the extrusion.
But the grain structure isn't like wood is it? I mean it's similar in a way but would it really affect this in that way?
Does Cody ever sleep?
Sleep is for the dead
Early to bed, early to rise. He does, just not when you do.
He seems like the kind of guy who would try a polyphasic sleeping schedule
You know what they say, "Science never sleeps".
We sleep in shifts so the aliens can't just walk in anymore. idk if it really helps, but it makes us feel safer.
Next: Fields Metal on a Fields Medal!
I came to the comment section for this!
Based on my research, the Fields Medal is cast gold (no idea of the Karat value), and is cast by the Canadian Mint. Would Fields metal break down gold?
I initially read the video's title as "Fields Medal vs Aluminium" and briefly wondered how Cody had got his hands on one of those and why he'd perform destructive experiments on it :D
@@Rhangaun because it's cody
Always a head scratcher when watching Cody, I will always love this channel
You always make mind stimulating, interesting videos! Been watching since 2011, keep up the great work!!!!
Possibly as it cools the metals are still semi-soft and trying to crystalize and the crystallization forces it move outward through the aluminum.
YoungBlood Bear *luminum*
I'd watch you make a mirror out of it.
i love your channels, the only time i get to learn new things. i applaud your science experience. i wish i knew half of the things you know.
Love it!!! Simply mind blowing to define a 3 foot length into 3 nano-light-seconds, have never heard anyone else do this before.
Thanks Cody, talk about out of the box thinking.
When it heats up, it may have enough viscosity to seep through the grains/crystals of the Al, when it solidifies it expands, damaging those crystals and reacting with the aluminium and air.
Perhaps all of the "oxidation" is actually reacting with moisture in the air and producing hydrogen. Maybe you should try the experiment again, but placing the sample in a dry atmosphere (sealed chamber with a desiccant) for the cooling cycles.
or do it in a vacuum
@@Andy47357 How would it react with moisture in the air then
Would hydrochloric acid help
Good video Cody. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for breaking everything down for the layman. These videos are extremely educational
Soo is cody ditching mercury and uses safe things????
Wth
That music in the end sounds like it's from cyriak
This was super interesting, thanks for doing this!
Very cool video Cody!
OMG someone else who uses nano-light-seconds as an everyday unit!
For those wondering one nano-light-second is 29.97cm
Huse american gawd dammit
So.... Im too lazy to calculate... How many nano light seconds is 3km?
29.97cm ~ 30cm
x 10 = 300cm = 3m
x 1000 = 3000m = 3km
10 x 1000 = 10000nls (nano lightsecond)
1000nls = 1µls
10µls = 3km
@FyreSpit thank you!
thats the time light needs from my house to the nearest city.
That would be 10µs (microseconds) - time.
10µls (micro lightseconds) - distance covered by light, through a vacuum, in 10µs.
"Could be used as a mirror."
Next project telescope confirmed! Would love to see Cody build one of those rotating ovens to create the parabolic shape.
I did the Hg mirror turntable thingy about 30 years ago. These alloys form gray oxide skin so fast you gotta wipe it constantly and wait for the ripples to die out. Not worth the trouble AT ALL.
Three nano light seconds long love the precision Cody!
Cody at 4AM
"I gotta check that bit of metal !"
This is why we watch your videos dude ;)
So you’re saying it’s about 0.528 Smoots in length?
I read the title at 4 am thinking: Wait, how did Cody get a fields medal and is he really going to destroy it !?
It came as a brand name -Cerrobend- in a shop where I worked and was used to keep small metal tubing -mainly stainless- from kinking when making bends. It was kept in a hot water tank with a petcock on the bottom, and when you wanted to make a bend, you capped-off one end filled the tubing capped the other end and made your bend. When done, you cut the capped ends off, put the tubing back in the water tank and in just a minute or two, poured the Cerrobend out and voila, a perfect bend.
This was really cool. Very enjoyable.
Cody, "I gotta find a spoon to melt it down in."
Me: " aaah, the good ole black tar days. "
Are you from south lebanon Ohio? If so I know your brother, well I kinda know you too. I was friends with your mom way back in the day....
@@jonross377 lol. Nope! You're the second person on YT to ask me that. I was born in Greenville. Lived in Dayton area about 4 decades. Now in Tennessee last 5 or so years.
That Josh Gibson in Lebanon seems to be a popular dude! Lot of folks seem to know him.
@@joshuagibson2520 Its a small town... everybody knows everybody there lol. I wonder who the other person was? I probably know them too lol.
@@jonross377 it's just wild to me that I lived just 30 minutes up 75 from there. He and I could have crossed paths at some point living that close. It didn't manage to happen in about 35 or so years that I lived there though.
"I like how it has a juicy center"
I wanna eat it.
Measuring in light-seconds. Love it!
I didn't know that. Never even crossed my mind. Cool vid, Cody.
What's up with the Cyriak light style of music? xD
You often mention it being 4:00 A.M. in your videos. Do you wake up before 4:00 or do you not fall asleep until after 4?
Cody never sleeps.
Breakfast + new cody's lab video 👍
I love learning from you
Does it expand when it becomes a solid?
Could be that it expanding expands the grains and pores, allowing it to spread throughout the aluminimum more easily
Another possibility is that the difference in humidity between the hot air over the active stove, and the cooled down air
It could just be the stresses from the atoms aligning into a rigid crystal structure.
I thought it contracted when it became solid, as far as I know the only substance that expands when it freezes is water
Sadly that conspiracy theory falls short. Theres no pores in aluminium kid. Your pronably thinking about leafs or something get ur ass back to biology class kid
Yes this is a distillation of what I came up with.
Just needed some of that against the T-1000 then, would have slowly fallen apart over time... :P
Cody never sleeps!
Your up at my time of the day!
What about NaK ?
I've been curious if cesium would attack aluminum in any way inside an inert atmosphere or vacuum
I initially read the title as "Field's medal vs ..."
Very interesting.
I especially liked the reaction at the end of the video.
I'm sure there are more efficient ways to harvest hydrogen, but that was a very cool demonstration.
Interesting. Thanks for the video.
luminum > aluminium > aluminum
lumnum
umumum
I usually go with the original spelling "alumium", as it's guaranteed to piss off both camps.
or as my boss says: aleminimum
Get out!
It's not luminum, it's luminium! :DDD
Let's just start pissing off everyone equally by just calling it Lumos... :P
Nope, it's just "L".
Aaaluminimum. :D
Field's Metal eats away the second i in Aluminium, leaving behind pure Aluminum.
Num num.
I can watch alloy and odd metal videos for ever. Who needs sleep? lol Thanks for your videos Cody.
OMG! Look at his dedication! Did I heard 04:00 AM!?!? You stay awake till that!?!
First you remove the second "i" in Aluminium, and now you're removing the "A" as well? Poor 'luminum is slowly being corroded away by American dialect. XD
Hes doing that for a while now to trigger people. Same as pronouncing bleach as bletch. :D
Too bad pronouncing it aluminium is objectively wrong
"Cody? What are you doing?"
"Making exotic alloys."
"It's 4 in the morning, why are you making exotic alloys?"
"Because I've lost control of my life."
At 1:10. I'm just imagining Cody sitting in his truck in a sketchy parking lot with the cops tapping on his window motioning him to roll it down, as they see him sitting in his driver's seat using a Bic lighter to melt down light metals in a spoon.
Sleep isn’t thing anymore
What's sleep?
Sleep is canceled sorry
seen his GF recently ?
3 nano light seconds long😂😂😂
Boom Killer So that people with the US measurements stop complaining!
US measurements as in Imperial? Because if so a nano light second is pretty much 1ft.
Tate Amstutz Imperial == US Measurements
Fun fact. 1 nano light second is roughly 30cm, or 1 ft.
More like 1/3 meter
I love your scientific sarcasm you just subtly add in to a lot of videos
"about 3 nano light seconds long"
Great video!
out of laziness i once weighed some SnCl2.2H2O in a aluminium foil recepticle, bad idea, definite reaction
What would have happened in a vacuum chamber?
Glad to see Cody finally using lightsecond distances instead of meters and such. Having respect for all the other planetary people out there
I can’t help but scream SCIENCE after watching one of Cody’s videos lol, they’re so entertaining
0:15 3 Nano light seconds long? What??
It's a real unit (29.97cm, close to a foot), and as it happens it's quite useful. I use it every now and then
wtf dat intro music tho
DeadlyDonut17 sounds like 18 hung wet horny CowBoys ready to Rut
reminds me of Cyriak
Always interesting content, whether I understand what’s going on or not.
This was a really good video
New Music!
Reminds me of Look Around You
1:47 now I will definitely make it too
I don't know why, but I really loved this one.
A very interesting video, thank you. x
Liquid metal is always awesome to watch
When you are early and don't have anything clever to write.....😂
Watching the timelapse and seeing the oxidation 'jump' reminded me of the patterns you see in forge-welded metals, where sometimes as they cool you'll get a flash of heat that pulses through the entire piece as the crystal structure changes. I wonder if there's something like that going on here.
Loved the intro man
An exceptionally entheusiastic intro :D
Hey Cody! I don't know if you did it on purpose, but this video seems to be louder than your other videos. As someone with a hearing impairment I really appreciate it!
That's pretty neat! I wasn't expecting that reaction at the end. I was kind of hoping you would have taken the two pieces you broke and let themselves weld back together to see what happened with another cycle or two.
I really enjoyed that one 👍👏
Fascinating ! Thanks Cody ! Bad stuff for an aluminium boat eh.
I just watched this for the second time and it was just as good as the first
I'd postulate that the thermal expansion properties of the two metals meet at some x,y point...and the field's metal can attack the aluminium at that point most optimally. Rather than thinking of solids being dissolved into solution, consider liquids being absorbed by solids.
It's so excellent that Cody has won a fields metal
Codys Lab: always cool stuff! YEay ! :D
"I gotta find a spoon or something to melt it down in" Cody's Lab quote of the day
I love how cody's like "okay, 4 AM" super casually.
Cody creates a new lifeform!
I read this as Fields Medal, basically the Nobel Prize of mathematics, and I was picturing you melting down someone’s prized medal.
Thanks for measuring in light-seconds, a length measurement we can all agree is best. It's a shame that time is still defined to match traditional seconds, but it will have to do for now.
Please cody, talk about bismuth and the crystals it can form. Its super interesting and think it fits your channel very well :)
Oh boy, its 4 am, or as Cody calls it, prime science time.
1 nanolightsecond is actually a surprisingly useful unit of measurement. It's just under 30 cm (or 1ft), so you can readily apply it to "regular" distances. It's also a good starting point for latency computations: two datacenters are 1000 kilometers away, so that's about 3000000 nano-ligth-seconds, or 3 milli-light-seconds. So the lowest possible latency between them would be around 4 milliseconds (light in fiber is a tad slower).
