Indepth explanation of Angstrom Lubes

- Gravitas is a SUPER gummy lube with over a million centistokes of viscosity. There are nanoparticles which create friction at a very tiny tiny level. At this size, the abrasive nature is totally different, and it doesn't feel rough at all. The friction just slows the cube down for control and smoothness.
Dignitas is a nitride and silicone lubricant, which feels fast after breaking it in. It's very gummy at first because it's thixotropic, but after you break it in, it provides a very fast and smooth feeling. The nanoparticles may clump and settle, so that's why it comes in a capped container, which makes it easy to stir and paint on the lubricant.
I know that some people may think Gravitas is just vaseline, so I prove it to you by burning it. Gravitas is inorganic, so it doesn't burn, but Vaseline is a hydrocarbon, which burns with a red flame and black smoke.
I play with fire so that you don't have to, so stay in school kids!
I finish off the video by showing you how to apply it.
Use very small amounts, and build up to the desired gummy level.
Literally lubicle fire

Humphrey Wittingtonsworth IV hi Chris, (sorry if that is not your real name I think it is) so on the registration list for classic city 4 charity on the 9th I saw Chris Tran. This is you right? Sorry for my dumb-ness in advance lol. (Btw I am going so that is why I ask)
Chris could you please do a video of how to use the Angstrom on a WuQue. I have searched all over the net but there is no video of how to use the Angstrom on a 4x4. Thanks
@@hunterbruyere5052 Yeah its him
Stay in school and learn science kids
Hay danaaaaaaaaaaa

I have the angstrom lubes and they are the BEST
Do they make the plastic last longer
I ordered a volt and dignitas on Wednesday, now I'm just going to stand in front of my mailbox for like 2 weeks. Anyway, I really like the names, and I was afraid I'm going to completely mess up the lubing because I have never lubed anything, but this really helped. And thanks for setting them on fire! It totally wasn't necessary but it was cool to see the difference between gravitas and vaseline
I'm gonna coat my Christmas tree with the Gravitas as a flame retardant.
Gravitas review: I bought the Gravitas. It is freaking amazing. You know that pleasant slow feeling right at the beginning after you put 50k in? It's just where it feels slow, not gummy or sticky, just pleasantly slow. It's controllable, not too difficult to turn, like I said, not gummy, just... slow. Don't put a lot in, just one microbrush full. It's AMAZING! I don't use the Air UM (yes, the UM. I don't have the SM) because it (was) too fast for me, but with the Gravitas, it's almost perfect! Just buy it!
PS It turns beast in the Wuxia M
Cube the Squid I'm so happy you like it !!
Cube the Squid how i can put gravitas? I don't understeand where he puts gravitas

I love how unprofessional your videos are. Not a bad thing. They feel organic, like I'm hanging out with my buddy. Real nice change of pace
All I hear is science science science but in a good and smart way
I would love to see a glow in the dark cube for cubing in the dark.
Andreas Lambropoulos There already is, but the quality is terrible, my friend has a glow in the dark sulong and he throws it on the ground for entertainment
SpookySpeedcube
This is amazing. I study latin, gravitas is pronounced " grauitas". The V acts like an U. Great work dude
Hey! I really like the magnetic squan! Great job, keep up the great work! Btw I am one of the only ones to have one of the original containers of lube.
chris is my spirit animal
Nice lubric
Heyyyyy, Vsauce4! Humphrey here...
The other day, I tried lubing my cube. I followed the steps precisely, but it didn't work out too well. Then I realized I had missed out an important step-- to respond to some Messenger message. Tip: Don't use Whatsapp during this step. After using Messenger instead, the cube was extremely fast yet controllable.
I'm a nanotechnology engineer, and I am fascinated by the science you're describing. I wish you could go into more detail, but I understand about IP protection. Speaking of which, do you patent anything, or is it all trade secret?
Chris is basically the best chem teacher
Nice video
Cubing Maniac I am subbed to you 😀
Man I really wanna get into science...
Tell your chemistry teacher that you want to use chemistry for Rubiks cube. The whole class will laugh at you . That’s not how you use science and chemistry srsly
@@OneDicz there really is no right and wrong way!
@@OneDicz ok
Hey Chris Tran! You need to try coating a cube with superglue. It is sandy at first but it's just plain awesome at least that's what happened for me.
The cubed cuber, I’ve dont that too and it slows it down and makes it sluggish it’s pretty bad
Hey Chris, in regards to the old Dayan plastic grafting, once you run out of Dayan plastic, couldn't you move onto using Thunderclap V1 plastic?
Genius
thanks chris
In this episode of Science CZcams with cool cubers, we get to see the God Chris Tran light multiple substances on fire to show the world he ain't a liar.
Hey Chris In the cubicle's making angstrom Gan air SM they put in loooottssssss of Gravitas, so do I put how much they put in that video or follow this vid..
Why is the category pets and animals
because there is a dog in the background when he is in the backyard
Wait actually are you gonna be selling that mat it looks dope
Hi! I have a quick question! Is Gravitas waterproof? I want to do an underwater solve but I don’t want lube to leach into the pool! Many thanks! 👍
Hey Chris, I got a Hays 7m recently and I am looking at lubes. What are your recccomendations. First ever 7x7, my turning is very innaccurate. Definitly looking to get some silk, thinking what else would go well in the cube. thanks
Good Morning!
never heard of cubes being "crispy" before xD
Anyone ever try putting this stuff in a 4x4? I have a WuQue I'm not really happy with and I'm wondering if maybe dignitas or gravitas would be good on the inner piece instead of the usual stuff people recommend like a weight 4 or 5 or traxxas 50k.
hey chris i want to ask something....can i use the gravitas for the core because my heavy lube has finished already
7:20 is the meanest thing Chris has ever done ever.
would you recommend using the lube on higher order puzzles?
In the DNM-37 i was about to buy but they said that it doesn't last long yet he said (CZcamsr) the lube reacts with air making the lube last long. What happened?
Vivid red smoke and black flame
This is awesome keep up the great work!!! Also how long do these lubes last?
What do you mean by inside of the cube, the core??
is it bad that i used a toooon of gravitas in my cube?
You should make a spray lube
Hey Chris, I noticed that your shipping is now free, and it used to be $20 usd. Is this permanent or just temporary, and if it's temporary, how long will it be free? Also, how long does shipping take? If I order now, would it be here by January 6th? I plan on only ordering lube, if that matters
Thanks in advance!
thats cool
non-Newtonian? So corn starch is the secret ingredient?
Would it necessarily be bad if we did BOTH of your lubes in 1 cube?
I LOVE CHEMISTRY.
lol funny, ishaan recommended dignitas to me and then i was asking him about it when i received it and he referenced me to this video
"The crazy blind dude"
Noice
Wow. And I thought I was good at chemistry.
Why is it bad to put vaseline in cubes?
DeBat It breaks down plastic
How bout the core
Eugene2341 there is still some plastic in the core
I mean the contact surface between the spring with the screw and the spring with the washer, not the washer and the plastic
Eugene2341 it may still break down the plastic that holds the screw and the spring if you put a lot of vaseline. It is really not advised to use vaseline as a lube for post zhanchi (after 2011ish) speedcubes.
I'm terrible in Chemistry and I only study it because of Chris XD
5:50 you said red smoke black flame😅
I love how cubing went from meh lets put some vaseline in there that'll speed it up to real science and research on how to make better lubes and stuff like that
"Vazelean"
Exotic Cats yeah it’s pronounced va-sa-leen
Yay metric
Just casually unboxes a gts 2m......
Gonna get me one of those crazy scientists lubes....!! Love you Chris.
People Who Think That Gravitas And Dignitas Are Just Vaseline/ Petroleum Jelly Is Dumb 😂
Dont need to explain, we still dont understand ;'(
Pokémon Gym Leader
vaseline and gravitas is the same though, it was just another kind of paper...
Chris you are a scientist ! Science is my least fav subject :(
I am the 101st comment
hi you random guy that reading our comments
keech lumaoeg hello
What if you are a lady
I like physics more than Chemistry............
I like turtles, can you see this comment?
