Dont put gallium on pressurized stuff it could explode. Also, water is wet.
Be careful out there man. Anything pressurized could possibly kill you. Stay safe
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?
Bro I love your videos, but the one thing is you gotta be careful with yourself. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL!!!
Exploding a full bottle of cO2=not a good idea!! (Unless you wanna get hurt)
get some cheap engine with an aluminum block and melt it with gallium while its running :)
I can imagine gallium bullets being used in the future against robots when they take over
TheBigSpicy Great idea xD
that might be good to shoot at enemy submarines or planes. Obviously I'd rather not have war, people causing each others deaths is SO sad!

Picking up a compressed gas cylinder that's being slowly eroded by gallium...... Is this a new form of Russian Roulette?
definetly
I agree, this guy doesnt know what he is doing!
Probably the only reason it didn't explode is because the cold of the gas escaping likely stiffened the weak metal. But brittle metal is worse because that makes dangerous shrapnel.
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.
This is extreme hot potato.

Oh, and they like hire you to destroy the old bike when the kid gets a new one. You wear like a muscle suit to make you seem like a macho man.
I bet every time he watches this video, he regrets that. There was still a load of pressure in that tank that was getting more and more brittle as he was holding it. Wow!
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.
@@libtrs838 dry ice is not strong enough to hold back the pressure of a pressurized CO2 canister. At least not If it's out of pressure where it can spin the canister or send it flying or similar. Maybe if it's a mostly depleted and at two atmospheres of pressure but definitely not at 500 plus PSI, You need steel, titanium or carbon composites to reliably hold back such pressures in an affordable and man portable container
@@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.
This is actually amazing. Even the places that don't come in contact with gallium become brittle and weak.
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.
@@HiltownJoe yup
6:55 you can watch it spread through the aluminum plates here, I wasn't expecting it to behave almost like a catalyst.
@VFT - WHAT?? It only effects aluminum if I remember correctly, like he said it's none toxic to humans.
@VFT - WHAT?? because he isn't made of aluminum. Gallium atoms penetrate the crystal lattice, introducing imperfections and mechanical stress
What was most amazing to me was the way it spread (diffused?) to “rot” parts of the bike and scooter so far away from where it initially came in contact :-0

Watching you hit a pressure vessel with a hammer that was structurally compromised is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever seen a smart person do
Don't worry he's a pro he knows what he is doing
Also getting up close and handling/tossing around a high pressure CO2 canister that has been compromised as well.
Florida man dont care!
It really was something a "pro" would not have done.. Pros also don't throw venting canisters that can potentially spin up and break an ankle or something. Also: no.
He hit the fire extinguisher after the pressure had been released. Hence the hissing noise you heard.
12:10 - I'm really kind of surprised you would handle the tank in your hands, knowing that it's compromised and could explode at any moment. Yikes!
Worse, his *bare* hands.
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
I spilt gallium on my school bleachers without knowing it did this to aluminum, good thing they had a plastic covering
Playing with a pressurized tank which has had its structural integrity reduced to almost nothing is a great way to get a Darwin award.
Except that the pressure was already let out. What are you on about?
@Robert Nelson LMAO, you're clueless if you think a crack lets out SOME pressure and stops.

I have a question!!! Is the aluminum still recyclable after this or would it keep contaminating everything it touches ?
Nope. It doesn't destroy the aluminum, it makes an aluminum alloy that is much weaker than pure aluminum. Gallium can diffuse into a number of metals this way.

What about filling a hollow point bullet and capping it off with wax, or some other type of polymer, that will protect it until the bullet impacts?

Most modern car engines have aluminum parts. Cylinder heads and often engine blocks, for instance. I wonder if gallium mixed with gas would flow through the fuel system? Could you achieve a large enough concentration to cause damage without causing obvious performance problems until the aluminum parts fail? As it moves through the system, would it be more a catastrophic failure or just cause the part to wear out faster? If I could afford a few cars with the sole requirement of "engine technically runs" I'd be really tempted to experiment...
Just putting it on aluminum the Galinstan didn’t do much but once you added the water it looked like it disintegrated the metal and was more destructive that Gallium. Was that not actually the case? Was that just a visual illusion? Because I’m confused why you didn’t use that for the experiments if it did that much damage.

Just realized. Gallium is best for results you can easily see, but galincide allows you to cause much more damage, but requires water. So, that’s good if you want to be able to do it when you want, not before, not after (a ticking time bomb!). But, just gallium allows quick destruction!

I’d really love to see what happens if you melt aluminum that’s contaminated with gallium and then let it cool. Is it still brittle or does it make some kind of amalgam
That is an amalgam that is being formed when you put gallium on aluminum. Actually I guess it would be more properly referred to as an alloy because they are thoroughly mixed just like in an alloy it's just the properties of this alloy are absolutely horrible for literally every application except for possibly not see-through packaging but then you just contaminate everything and gallium which isn't ideal for anyone who works with aluminum ever
