Things igniting is fine as long as you're expecting it. -Codyslab 2018
The Death Shack I love i read this comment as soon as he said that
honestly so true though...
The Death Shack is true

What year is it
Galinstan sounds like a former Soviet state.
Shogun in soviet russia metal alloy melts you.
Witch Hunter *GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA*
Stalin gang
Then what's Galnakinstan, a merger between two countries?
If the demonym for someone from Afghanistan is Afghan, and Pakistan is Pakistani, what's the demonym for Galinstan and Galnakinstan? Galinstani and Galnakinstani?
If we alloyed together iron, cobalt, and nickel and called it Feconi, do we call those people Feconians?
Are we gonna have a Galnakinstan-Feconian war?
Me again. Rewatched the vid and the first alloy made in the vid was gallium+indium, or Galin. We have Lenin and Stalin, so who's Galin?
Welcome back to codys lab. Today we're making a mess
Room temperature anywhere on the world: 20°C ... Room temperature at Cody's Lab: 10°C xD
lol
its 23c
in my queens island.
in here it'd probably be a bit over 25°C unless it had rained recently or it's night
well in this case it was the temperature of the room he was in. Not Room Temperature.
He’s in a outdoor building
When will you make a Cobalt and Dysprosium alloy? A CoDy slab!
You'd also need sulfur, lanthanum, and boron for the slab part (CoDySLaB).
+Ganaram
Or make it a slab
Would be an interesting alloy. Nd2Fe14B is a strong magnet as is SmCo. Neodymium and Samarium are both rare earth metals (lanthanides) just like Dysprosium and Lanthanum, so they have similar magnetic properties.
cody I challenge you to make a neon light.
yes!
Yes and after that combine the neon gas with some helium to make a laser
oooooooooo yes that to!
I double that challenge, Cody I challenge you to make a NEON FLOODLIGHT
Neon light that says "Cody'sLab"... ok its on the list!
Resumé of Cody Don Reeder.
•Badass with chemistry
•Knows how to explode stuff
• *V E R Y G O O D W I T H P H Y S I C S*
•Has fabulous hair
Edit: these are the only things that matters if you hire Cody
+He knows a lot about beekeeping and geology too
honestly its channels like yours and NileReds that i keep my interest in chemistry. I can truely say your a role model for me.
You're*
Cody doesnt need safety precautions. If he loses an arm, he'll build a new one. Robotics aint that hard, right? Otherwise maybe, he will just regrow it. He'll figure it out. Keep calm.
Hans Woast - he seems to have a NaK for this stuff
"It's kind of interesting how it's *igniting* as I rub it around on my *fingers.* "
- That's not a sentence you expect to hear every day. XD
It appears you have a NaK for Chemistry.
I work for Natural Resources Canada and I'm part of a team building a galinstan loop that take waste heat from an industrial source and generates electricity 'in theory'. We're in the early testing phase now but maybe one day galinstan will be used to generate electricity.
gunnerwolf I doubt it.
Wouldn't that really just be converting energy instead of generating it?
@@Joel-hr1uw thats technically what generating energy is, you're just taking energy from other sources into something usable.
I have a NaK
I have a Galinstan
Ugh!
I have a Galnakinstan
I did it wrong and now have a Galifinakis.
Hehe reminds me of a middle eastern country
You made a new country...
More of a Greek Island.
Galnak is a pretty interesting language, won't lie
When the video is still 360p you know it's fresh. :)
Fascinating!
Keep up the great videos Cody, I love the stuff you demonstrate.
This might actually be my favourite Cody video so far!
I think the bigger question is what does it taste like?
Boring Old White Guy pain
Soap
Shh dont ask that question you might get an answer from him
Take it to the water jet guy. He'll give it a lick test!
Extreme popping candy.
Frozen mercury cries when you bend it. This stuff farts gently when you drop it in water.
I’ve been watching you 2-3 years. I was top of my class in chemistry. Never took it further. You have definitely ignited my interest again. Love all of your content. Keep it up.
That was so AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing this Cody, and as always Keep Building 👍
I BROKE MY GOD-DAMNED GLASS ROD! THE ONLY 1 I GOT 10 YEARS AGO IN CHEMISTRY CLASS
i wouldn't consider 11C "Room Temperature", More like Garage Temp. x)
Yeah he's crazy to have such a low room temp, fuck that shit, I'll keep mine at 22-23c.
At least! Ambient temperature would fit better in this case. :)
Garage Temp can easily be over 30C
he's saying the temp of the room he was in was 11c
pretty much my room *cough* _garage_ *cough*
Thanks Cody still loving the uploads after watching for some time now ...I’ve been rewatching some of the earlier uploads and well...you where much younger then and I realised just how long I’ve been watching Cody’s lab!
Thanks for keeping me entertained for that time, I’ve enjoyed the journey and look forward to continuing...providing you don’t get banned completely!!!

Best science videos out there. Your channels are some of my favorites
great as a thermal conductive compound
Does the alloy leave a residue like liquid gallium does in your hand. Like graphite from a pencil?
I literally just purchased some of this alloy. I knew nothing about it a week ago and suddenly you make a video of it!
one of your best videos in quite a while! awesome content!
Cody could you please show a way to purify bromine because the video’s i’ve seen are very chaotic
Melvin Groenewold Watch NileRed
yes, NileRed for that
While NileRed didn't do it very cleanly he did it well enough that I probably wont make a full video on the topic.
You know it's fresh when 360p is the highest video quality available
Daniel Smith 360p is the best, you can see what's going on and it don't eat your data super bad
carolyn mmitchell Are you living in 2010?......
@@dphorganI watch at 360 but sometimes 240 as well
Rarely uses 480 tho...
Thank you Cody for mixing Galinstan and NaK, because I have access to both and I've been tempted to do it lol
I just love all the small chuckles and giggles.
Sell it to LinusTechTips! they're obsessed with it! :D
Unrelated, but what are the odds that Cody gets invited to use Float Plane early?
different Liquid metal xD
Is it? I think it's very similar to what the "liquid metal" TIM is made of.
I was thinking about that if that's the same liquid metal
I'm part Heavy Metal
Will we see any gardening videos this year?
Hooray more Cody uploads!
The ignition sounds awesome.
why do liquid metals all have to be either dangerous or sticky? :'(
ya who would have thought that a "liquid" would be "sticky".
Mistypix Studios pepsi
Âsdop good. What about it
mercury isnt sticky
Maric it is. It sticks to itself
Hell yeah
I was literally just in Walmart looking at a liquid metal thermometer made from this liquid metal. Never heard of this alloy and now I'm glad you did this vid👍
This is an instant favourite. Playing with these metals and making alloys by hand looks like magic 😍.
I want to make the gallium info alloy myself after watching you do it 😅.
So theoretically, if I had enough gallium and indium, and I alloyed them... I COULD MAKE A MELTABLE WALL TO ENTER MY EVIL LAIR!!! That would be so cool... I could just touch a wall and watch it melt like I had super powers!
it would be more sensinle to just get the gallium
Indium is $5 a gram. Start selling some lemonade.
Now your thinking point outside of the box.your definitely onto something there
lol "room temperature" at 11 degrees C... :p
haha, exactly :D not too comfy
The noise that the metal made with the water when you were dropping it in water was very satisfying.
Awesome video, Cody! You are the 21st century Mr. Science.
*Awesome!*
You're first! 🏆🏆🏆
*THICC WRITING*
Cody's Lab? More like Cold-y's Lab amirite?
Jeffrey Wong no, you’re Jeffrey Wrong
as always, excellent experiment
Always entertaining ...thanks Cody..your the best bro.
*Demonetization Intensifies*
This has nothing to do with anything but your laugh reminds me of my big brother and it makes me miss him. He's a big dumb computer science nerd and laughs about things I don't understand but he's excited about and it sounds just like your laugh. Anyway, uh. Great content.
Kimberly I know what type of person you're mentioning, very specific laugh indeed
I really liked the way you drew inferences from the observations! All the "it could've been this too, right?" questions that popped into my mind were answered eventually.
Always entertaining Cody!!
last! finally i catch a video at upload. last time i was this late cody was still doing beekeeping videos
He started them up again so this doesn't make all that much sense...
i know he was gonna start them did he upload one already? dont tell me i missed that :/
Is this the same stuff as Coollaboratory Liquid Pro thermal compound?
These are the questions we need to know. You can buy 30g of galinstan for like 30 bucks. Conductonaut is mostly galinstan but I don't know what else is in it.
I wasn't aware of that Conductonaut even existed. I remember using the CLP couple of years ago, and this reminded me of it's mind boggling ability to stay liquid even at room temperature.
Conductonaut has the highest thermal conductivity @ 73 W/mk ...CLP is only 38.4....I use conducto on both my cpu and gpu, but I change my liquid coolant every few months so it would be nice to have a good supply of it.
Excellent video! Learned that Mercury is not the only liquid metal at room temperature! Thanks
Depends on the temperature of your room. In hot countries gallium is liquid but not in cold countries unless you have the central heating on very high above 29.76. . Caesium is also a liquid above 28.44C and rubidium at 39.3C.
....so glad i stumbled upon this chanel! 👏👏👏👏
How is 11°C room temperature for you? I have noticed many times that you appear to live in a very cold house.
Us northerners do that to conserve energy.
Cody'sLab I have my apartment at about 17°C and that is already relatively cold in comparison to the 20 to 23°C that most people in Germany have.
Cody'sLab rt
Its his garage. Its not heated. Obviously his house is gonna be heated.
he does a lot of experiments in his shed and his garage and his basement, not heated.
You're like the LGR of science.
Great demo
So today I learned:
A) Indium, tin and gallium melts below body temperature.
B) Aaaand... metals reflect IR from the room around them, which totally makes sense for a mirror, but normally I would not think about such phenomena!
That was 2 minutes in the video, and I keep learning? Cody you are awesome! :D
Edit: thanks for breaking the stereotype about most Americans wearing shoes indoors, it was interesting. Also, thanks to Cody for answering my question.
Let me break a stereotype as well: Russia is no longer Soviet, the USSR fell apart in 1991, and not many people are communist here. Some people enjoy the way their life was in USSR, some don't. But well, if you already know that, then no offence taken on the jokes :)
Edit 2: I am saying that 11-12°C is cold when inside, if outside - it's fine. Right now (March 17th) it's -9°C in Moscow and it feels hot due to windiness. I personally can be okay up to -20 degrees, if colder - well, more clothes to put on. But as for any indoor place (especially at home) - this is what I write about below.
_______________
As a Russian I find it absurd how your room temperature is just 11-12 °C. It's too cold for normal room temperature. In fact, the least room temperature that is considered normal here is 18°C and the most is, I think, 25°C (which is already a bit too warm for me when I need to move around the room a lot). I remember freezing at 14°C at school during winter, but since we were mostly sitting down in class it was explicable, plus, negative 25° didn't really help us keep warm during the trip to school :D
I wonder if this is why many Americans leave their shoes on at home - because it keeps them warm...
Atriya Koller a lot of times I usually have the heat around 20 or so but with a light coat 10-14 isn't too bad for shorter periods of time
Shut up, commie.
Not completely sure but he might be in a garage or workshop. Not very well insulated/open to outside/no heater.
M MMM no u, mavrodii
I think this is his lab or something
Demonetized.
M MMM for body part closeup?
Too educational. And stuff explodes.
Joel Hudson no! idiots keep flagging his videos.
I got an ad
😂😂
*Hey, don't ask me why but I find his videos very relaxing..*
*We love you Cody❤️*
You are living my dream.... gardening, beekeeping and EXPERIMENTING!!! :-)
Tfw you accidentally make roy mustangs gloves from fma
oh dang......
Dang it Cody! Do you want terminators? 'Cause this is how you get terminators!
I was literally searching the comment section for this lol.
Looks like soldering so satisfying
This video is 100% a science video, but somehow like 78% ASMR… Glass clinking, metal alloys burning and crackling, the sound of brushing, bubbling, stirring, tapping and so on. This is oddly satisfying to listen to.
Of course you get liquid Metal after mixing two solid... This is why I don't understand chemistry. Is there a way to calculate this reaction before testing?
Yes. Probably a bit beyond first-year chem though.
Yeah, you can look at the phase diagram. I think the stuff he was saying about entropy can be used to qualitatively get the new melting point at any composition, but I'm not sure.
Thanks :)
make a cup out of the sodium metal and ask someone to get you a glass of water.
Nice video. I wasn't really expecting the profile picture change but it's nice to mix it up once in a while
Dude, squeezing the gallium like that was so freaky! Awesome video, as usual, Cody! Thumbs up all around hahaha
Can you separate tellurium from CDs? Like if you agree.
Why didnt I get a notification for the main video?!! ):
Freizeitflugsphäre I never get them for codys vids
CZcams hates Cody. lol Ring the bell again.
Notifications have always been broken and YT has no interest in fixing the problem.
Freizeitflugsphäre cuzzz your gay
Because YT is a fucking joke; and they have a vendetta against educational videos since they don't make as much money as the typical clickbait
Indeed, this is a disruption of a higher entropy mixture or maybe better to say bringing more order to a mixture. Quite unique video, well done.
You can check the remnant alloy for any sodium or potassium by swirling it in water with few drops of ethanolic solution of phenolftalein. Even tiny amounts will increase pH considerably and turn it magenta.
i love your chuckle
I wonder if Cody would be tempted to see if gallium can sustain a liquid state at body temperature and if so, drink it considering its non-toxic (correct me if im wrong)
Edit: Just watched the video on the second channel and its non-toxic...DO IT
Could you use Gallium instead of Oil when Cooking Meat?
Its not Toxic and has high boiling point...so,why not?
atheist _guy0413 it’s toxic…
Angel33Demon666 No its not.
I prefer the taste profile of using mercury over galium for all my frying needs
its not seriously toxic but that doesn't mean its safe to consume a lot.
Fun video Cody!
You are just to entertaining Cody.
whe you're so early you can only watch in 360p
rusty_winniebago96 right
Hot.
when your isp hates you and you can only normally watch in 480
wow feels bad man
rusty_winniebago96 woh ive never noticed that!
What does centigrade mean?
Runner_Will the temperature in degrees Celsius. Celsius=centigrade. Centigrade is just old fashion
Runner_Will cents per grade.
degrees centigrade or degrees Celsius as it is also more commonly know as is the temperature standard in every country around the world apart from the U.S (which uses Fahrenheit)
Jordan Hogan thank you
Just usual degrees, but in the country which did send people on the moon
Cool timing with this video. I was watching another video on the Periodic Table of Videos channel about Nak. After learning about it on that video, I was going to come ask you about it if you have ever played around with it and bam, you make a video about it. The fact is was used as a coolant in nuclear reactors kinda blew my mind. Keep up good work and content!
"Things igniting is fine as long as you're expecting it"
Words to weld by right there...
11C is not a room temperature m8 😂
CJ636C65 he was saying that was the temp of the room he was in
CJ636C65 how not mate? Like, are you living in tropics or what?
probably the garage.
i need more nak reactions that’s awesome.
Wild Cody, that's fab.
It's always really nice to see a science channel use the metric system!
"Things igniting is fine as long as you're expecting it." -Cody Slab, 2018. Iconic.
I meant I love both of your channels! I watched both videos so you can get all the support you deserve.
Damn Cody coming in with the p.chem
New cody! Awesome! keep up the good work, didnt even see the video but no doubt its gonna entertain me and give me more scientific knowledge! Love you my man :) you will always be an inspiration to pursue my passion for experimenting with life!
That is really cool. I did some similar work with sodium aluminum and mercury. The sodium amalgam was on my glove and reacted with aluminum flashlight, causing the Al to oxidize and grow giant white snakes of the oxide that just will not quit.
I like the analogy of the ice and salt
amazing cody
Oooh! eutectic mixture. Got a really bad deja vu of my old chemistry teacher (who I adored-inspired me so much) when you said that!!
Shout-out to Mr Baker's chemistry class at Lincoln Christ's Hospital School GCSE and A-level Chemistry :)
Important information. Thanks.
You might be interested to know that galinstan can be used as an alternative to NaK for solvent stills. Organometallic and inorganic chemistry labs typically require extremely dry solvents, which is why they usually have a bunch of solvent stills boiling away with alkali metals in them: Sodium for toluene or xylene, potassium for hexane or THF, and NaK for pentane or ether. Even in academic labs, some people frown on using NaK because it is so dangerous, so galinstan can be a useful alternative there.
But how so, since galinstan itself doesn't react with water? Well, it can if you dissolve aluminium in it, which is easy enough to do: Just drop some aluminium granules into a beaker of galinstan, stir it around and it dissolves quite nicely, just like making sodium amalgam by dropping lumps of sodium into mercury. Don't use aluminium foil though - the high surface area means it tends to ignite when galinstan comes into contact with it and dissolves the oxide coating off.
The galinstan-aluminium alloy is still liquid, and having the aluminium in liquid state makes it almost as reactive towards water as NaK, so is effective for drying solvents. Magnesium also dissolves in galinstan, so that is a slightly more aggressive alternative to aluminium. The only problem with using galinstan is that it sticks to glass, forming a mirror surface on any glass it touches. The only way to prevent this is to coat the surface of the glass with gallium oxide, which is possible but expensive. This is done for the glass capillaries used in some modern thermometers, where galinstan is used as a mercury substitute.
Great video 👍🏼
Galinstan is the main thing in liquid metal thermal compound. It also has one of the largest differences between melting and boiling points of anything that's liquid at room temperature. That's mostly due to the gallium which by itslef has a range of over 2000 degrees between melting and boiling.
