Making bouncy metal!
Added 2024-08-28 22:14:50 +0000 UTCHey guys, it has been a while, but I am happy to say that I am finally back with a new video. Let me know what you think!
Also, I am working on getting out videos a lot faster and I am hoping to post a few more before the end of the year!

Nile, I know this is completely unrelated, but what heating mantle do you use?

2025-01-04 18:18:10 +0000 UTCWow... Guess I'm going to start making arc melters. I mean hell I was going to make one for my self for fun with my tig welder... That being said, 14k isnt too far off depending on whats included... I can also tell you right now its not the arc that's doing the melting, it's the resistance to electron flow that causes the most heat. The arc plasma isnt insignificant, im pretty sure it has a place in "Destroying" oxides and other impurities, but the majority of the heat produced is resistance heating.

2024-09-24 22:12:25 +0000 UTCI love that we knew what you were cooking up for a while since the Open Sauce promotion video. Also I would love to see a picture of your cat.

2024-09-02 23:30:54 +0000 UTCEvery time I wonder when the next one will be and then you bounced back. Literally. The only thing I’m wondering is how the metal glass is so bouncy! I see that it is high strength but low stiffness but beyond that it’s kind of wild how it’s working. If anyone knows those super bounce balls, I wonder if it’s possible to make one even more super if it had a metal glass core.

2024-09-01 21:23:36 +0000 UTCThat would have been putting a pretty darn high thermal load on the computer heat sink 😂 😂 😂 – good not going that route. Anyway, pretty cool project as always. 👍

2024-09-01 08:54:17 +0000 UTCI admire your dedication and perseverance when doing these videos! Most of the successful channel gets copied in a few years but not yours...we can all see it why! Months of planning, dedication and knowledge of the subject and expensive stuff! Thank you

2024-08-30 06:47:26 +0000 UTCNicely done!! I really enjoy listening to your explanations of everything

2024-08-30 04:50:10 +0000 UTCQuite impressive end results. Beryilliosis only happens if you are allergic to it, but there is no easy way to test for Be sensitivity. Being as cautious as possible is the best way to prevent exposure, and I'd say you nailed that goal with your safety practices observed in this video.

2024-08-30 01:26:34 +0000 UTCfor real...when you think about all the machines he buys and the chemicals and so on!

2024-08-29 21:58:53 +0000 UTCthat's what I thought...there must be another elastic metallic glass without beryllium... (berylliumless elastic metallic glass. We could call it BLEMG which in my opinion is metal 🤟 as fuck)

2024-08-29 21:49:14 +0000 UTCYour videos are always so tightly cut and engaging. Great work! I was very afraid the copper crucible would melt with molten iron on top, that cooling must be pretty amazing.

2024-08-29 18:19:24 +0000 UTCHow is this different from the iron in an anvil returning the energy put into it?

2024-08-29 11:15:23 +0000 UTCI think the mold wasn't filling completely because the exhaust valve was blocked by the metal dripping on it and immediately freezing. Maybe if the valve was placed at the top of the mold it would have had a better effect? Anyway, a very interesting project. I'm glad it worked out!

2024-08-29 11:00:10 +0000 UTCGreat video! The blob tail of the disk could have been responsible for it being not bouncy, absorbing the energy like a tuning fork.
Rémi Héneault
2024-08-29 09:32:57 +0000 UTCMaybe try to make disks out of a newer metallic glass alloy? It seems plausible that whoever made those disks used vitreloy-1 because it was one of the first and a newer alloy might be as good or better. Also less dangerous.

2024-08-29 04:54:15 +0000 UTCIs there a chance you could send the two less functional to a public school (random draw style as well)? I have to imagine most highschool chemistry teachers would love to demo it for their students.

2024-08-29 02:51:43 +0000 UTCI work for a company that specializes in Beryllium products, so I am interested to see how this works out.

2024-08-29 01:33:12 +0000 UTCThanks! I also really wanna find a way to make them easier and more quickly (and higher quality).

2024-08-29 01:33:05 +0000 UTCExcellent one! I have let the discord know!

2024-08-29 01:24:56 +0000 UTCWow. I watched Steve's video when it came out, and I was really sad the bouncy metal wasn't available anywhere. Nice job figuring out how to make it and especially over coming all the obstacles!
