    4000 comments in, I'm not sure if someone else has already mentioned this, but pure copper is notoriously difficult to cast even into simple shapes like your gear. You really ought to alloy it with about 1% silicon or 0.25% phosphorus to make it more fluid and deoxidize the melt. You can easily order various "master alloys" of copper-silicon or copper-phosphorus to make alloying simple.

      It was in English, is called metallurgy. Any metal object you use in your everyday life, from a fork to your car, was made in this language. Its a language far more common than English

    *HEAT THE SAND BEFORE POURING THE COPPER*
    You heat your sand so copper doesnt get solidified as fast, and you melt the styrofoam BEFORE pouring the copper, so you can remove it fast enough to not impact the sand humidity.
    You can do this easily with a torch.

    • @chrislinda3623
      @chrislinda3623 7 лет назад +10

      This was my first thought when he was complaining about the object cooling to fast. The reverse of this would help him with breaking all his glasses with liquid nitrogen pre chill them.

    • @jasonmckinney4715
      @jasonmckinney4715 7 лет назад

      my thoughts were also to heat the sand in an often... Will melt the Styrofoam and raise perhaps they mould breaks apart as the moisture in the sand flashes to steam? can green sand be made with something like high temp coolant? when the water vaporized the only place to go is up the center columns...

    • @rasput1n6
      @rasput1n6 7 лет назад

      I was thinking about an oven at first, but you destroy the sand's humidity also, what makes it stick together and not just fall like well.. sand.
      The idea of getting the sand moisture with another fluid with higher boiling point is also very interesting.
      I hope our favourite airliner finds a way to solve theese problems ^^

    Household Styrofoam insulation resists burning and melting. Try using some floral foam or Styrofoam made for cheap food coolers but don't use Styrofoam with the occasional blue bead in it, also fire resistant.

    • @ryanmarshall8925
      @ryanmarshall8925 7 лет назад +2

      agreed cheap white Styrofoam seems to work the best but I have had terrible results and awful luck with the floral foam, the kind I'm getting simply just doesn't burn! definitively check for those little blue stripes!

    • @mevofr
      @mevofr 7 лет назад +5

      rock all of the silicates melt at around 1200 c they solidify around 600 c
      copper melts at 1085 c
      aluminium melts at 659 c
      brass melts at 900-940
      so it probably wouldn't work

    If you were to make a steel (or anything that can withstand high temperature) version of that sandbox, would you be able to heat up the sand to a point where it is still solid, but allows you to pour the molten copper in and give it a bit more time before it solidifies, due to a smaller difference in temperature?

      not saying you're wrong it is just a hard way to make napalm. -
      formula - Gasoline (Octane) (C8H18) Benzene(C6H6) Polystyrene (C8H8) ----- where acetone is (CH₃)₂CO - --- there are many ways to make it.
      where you want the polystyrene to be consumed not just gelled, making more imperfections in the casting, he could have made a 2 part mold with risers to allow heat to be trapped and contaminates float away

    I have seen brass casting done on PBS. They used wax and plaster to cast the mold. Object was fashioned from wax and suspended in plaster with an opening to the top of the mold. After plaster set up, molten brass was poured into mold and let cool down. After cooling down, plaster was smashed away and the brass object was all but done. Some trimming required. The use of wax worked as fuel to keep the metal hot while casting. Check it out sometime.

      It will be weaker, becouse the the crystalline structure of the second metal wont have many bonds to the other one.
      Its almost the same as if you were welding at low Amperes and welded too fast.

    • @WragglesRocks
      @WragglesRocks 7 лет назад +5
