This is what happens when you empty liquid aluminum into a tank of water polymer dots

What do you do when you have a vacant fish tank and thousands and a large number of water-polymer dabs? Assembled the two, warm some aluminum (yes, that is the means by which it's spelled) to insane temperatures, and pour it all in. That is accepting you have the right gear for delivering liquid aluminum in your backyard- - hold up, you don't? All things considered that is the thing that the Backyard Scientist arrives for, so watch his most recent video above to see the stunning consequences of this trial.

In the event that you haven't seen them sometime recently, water polymer globules are so amazing. The Backyard Scientist purchases his in little packs from Vat19.com (where they warmly name them "spitballs"), and you should do nothing more than pouring them in a compartment of water, mix them around a bit, and in a couple of hours, they'll have expanded in size, retaining around 200 times their weight in water. Regardless of the fact that you're not endeavoring to reproduce this investigation, simply purchase some of these things, at any rate, they're super fun.

Having emptied around 10,000 spitballs into his fish tank, the Backyard Scientist strengthens the sides with acrylic sheets so they don't get harmed by the aluminum. At that point, he benefits what in any way patio researcher does - he asks his wellbeing googles-wielding canine to conjecture the aftereffects of his analysis. Science Dog enthusiastically envisions blasts.

We come back to our lawn aluminum purifying office, and inside of 15 minutes, around a kilo of aluminum is intensely hot and glowy. Other than very nearly decimating his submerged Go-Pro, the trial is a win - as the liquid aluminum is filled the tank, it keeps running between the water polymer dabs as it cools to make a stunning, completely one of a kind figure.

"In view of the way the aluminum snakes through these water dabs, it promises no two will ever be the same," says the Backyard Scientist.
