Well... when dealing with metal that melts at 1220°C, his shorts could certainly melt along with his leg hairs, skin, muscles and even his very cell DNA could start to disintegrate. Many things could go wrong, many things...
@Robert Shaffer i think its cause of 2 reasons: 1, only one company makes the SCAR, whilst there are many that make an AR. and 2, lots of R&D went into the process of the rifle. It literally is Special Operations Combat Assault Rifle, so. Not even common for military to have it.
I think you need to measure how long a bullet takes to melt when submerged in molten aluminum, then use that data to estimate how much aluminum a bullet would have to travel through to be melted by it. Wouldn't be accurate exactly because its not accounting for the initial temp of the bullet, nor the extra conduction of the bullet traveling through the aluminum, but it would get you an upper limit.
Good point, but its probably not the same distance as in water. IDK if its the waters density or surface tension or what that contributes to the number, but its very likely to different with aluminum, I'd guess shorter.
Think about putting an ice cube into a drink, or even a pot of boiling water. The water is much hotter than the ice. Does it instantly disappear? No, there is a limited rate of heat exchange. It takes at least several seconds. A bullet is passing through in 1/1000th of seconds. This is made worse by the fact that the bullet will have a pillow of compressed air in front of it that insulates it from the metal. I wouldn't be surprised if the bullet never even touches the aluminum by the time it exits the can, just from the air cushion around it. Bit of a silly hypothesis by BYS, putting a bullet on steel wire and dunking it would demonsrate it's going to take several seconds to melt even if it's lead (let alone copper).
It makes sense- the amount of time the bullet is in contact with the molten metal is tiny, so the amount of heat transferred should be pretty small too. Personally I was more curious if the density of the molten aluminium would do it. I know it's a fairly light metal, but it's still twice the density of water, so I'd expect it would help. I liked how much it splashed though, and the smoke rising up from the grass looked really cool!
Kevin: _"I know what I'll do, I'll fill a very thin, uninsulated metal can TO THE BRIM with molten aluminum, then run across the grass with it, wearing only sandals and shorts. What could POSSIBLY GO WRONG?"_ 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I swear this dude dose not understand safety some days. Like really. You shout have leather boots and thick denim jeans as a basic. All clothes must be cotton so they don't melt or leather to deflect it
So now instead of a solid metal projectile hitting me, I can have a load of 1000° molten metal tear through my chest cavity and liquifying my internal organs. Thanks!
For closer shots with the high speed camera you should either get a high zoom lens or a reinforced shelter for the camera so it can get close to the action. I’d love to see a video of you creating that.
A long time ago, I, and some drunken confederates who were taking classes at Penland School, emptied the magazine of my pistol into a large gather of molten glass. the lead melted and flowed out and left little copper flowers behind. after it was annealed, one of the guys cleaned up the bottom and turned into a paperweight for the director of the school, and he didn't kick us out.
@@TheBackyardScientist back then, the glass studio was at one end of the building and us anvil-whackers sere at the other. it was handy to the giant propane tank out back.- i forget his name, but he got like 3 gathers, a huge glob, and ran down the building, and det it on the floor in front of a stunmp sith an anvil
@@gafriglebit the molten glass was a floppy blob on the end of a blowpipe. in some ways ,glassblowing is like throwing a pot on the end of a stick, and you can only touch it with tools.
@@TheBackyardScientist I can translate: "We were drunk and playing with molten glass and guns. We shot into the melted glass until the gun was empty. The lead melted, and leaked out the bottom. Thus leaving the expanded copper jackets suspended in the glass. they were shiny, and shaped like flowers."
I think that a comparison of the penetration of a backstop would be useful, taking into account the greater energy dump when using fluid metal instead of water. Perhaps gallium or mercury, or maybe even molten lead.
Very cool experiment! 👍👍 Personally, I didn't think it would stop the bullet in the manner that you anticipated, because at the speed the bullet is traveling, it wouldn't have enough dwell time in the aluminum to cause the projectile to completely melt. That being said, I would love to see what was left of them after exiting.
This was a really interesting video, I have some theory’s that I think you could possibly try in the future 1. The 223 is a rather thin bullet and is going really fast and I think to fast for the aluminum to even come in contact with maybe get a round that is slower so less powder behind it and the bullet itself having more surface area, maybe like a 500 magnum idk cuz that’s still going super fast but you could always just drop a bullet into the bucket of aluminum 😂
i dunno why u would think it would melt - its not inside the molten liquid enough time for it to melt...its like when u wave your hand thru a naked flame and dont get burned
@4:34 I kinda wish you pulled the slug out to show the audience the true size of the .223 slug, then talked about how a slug that's about double the size is delivering ~30x the joules due to its delivery mechanism. edit: math

0:40 That could be a decent hypothesis, except bullets are lead coated with copper on the outside. Bullet's haven't been made with 100% lead since like the civil war era.
With heat, it all matters about amount of time enduring the temperature of the molten aluminium. Shooting the bullet, especially through a rifle because of the increased velocity, does not allow for the time it takes to melt the bullet. Time is the key. A long enough container of molten aluminium would stop it.

@@arbiterprime2145 You will be shocked what extreme velocy ice will accomplish. And if you want to see bullets bounce off ice, add sawdust to the water before freezing it. That gets me thinking sawdust-ice projectile might be even more impressive...
So not being a scientist but a gun guy 5.56 has a copper jacket and basically you have to melt that case first the only way the liquid can get to the led is in the back if you used hollow points on the other had might be an interesting result 🤔
You might have had a different result using lead ball rounds (no jacket )instead of full metal jacket round. The copper jacket has a lot higher melting point than lead and it probably prevented the lead from melting and slowing down.
In theory the aluminum would melt the lead, but at the thicknesses of molten aluminum you had, and with the speed of a bullet, enough thermal energy can’t be transferred to the bullet to melt it (or the lead was at least still dense enough in molten form that it remained together in the molten aluminum) and was able to punch through the container and ballistics gel
To backyard scientists and his viewers: Here's why the aluminum didn't stop the bullet- www.quora.com/What-would-happen-if-you-shoot-a-gun-and-a-lightning-bolt-strikes-the-bullet A lightning bolt is many times hotter than a can of molten aluminum and it would barely heat a bullet up. The problem is that the time the bullet is heated is just too short. Hope everyone is enlightened after reading this XD.
The bullet actually went through the molten aluminum the first time too, if you use the keys to navigate the frames you can actually see the path the bullet takes through the gel and aluminum, and it shouting out at the other side.
@@amzarnacht6710 if you did an aluminum bronze with a really high percentage of aluminum maybe that would be light enough yet still have a bit of a golden color to it
Inconclusive, the 5.56 you shot it with has a copper jacket with a lead core. I'm fairly sure copper has a significantly high melting point than aluminium. You could try shooting it something else.
Even if lead has a low melting point you can't really heat it to that temperature in a fraction of a second by putting it in molten aluminum. The bullet is pretty much solid the whole time and i would guess that the metal container for the aluminum actually provided more of a protection than the aluminum.

Wouldn't be accurate exactly because its not accounting for the initial temp of the bullet, nor the extra conduction of the bullet traveling through the aluminum, but it would get you an upper limit.

Good point, but its probably not the same distance as in water. IDK if its the waters density or surface tension or what that contributes to the number, but its very likely to different with aluminum, I'd guess shorter.
Also both the bullets they were using are copper jacketed. Which has a higher melt temp that aluminum.
They should also test it against a solid block of aluminum the same thickness as the container of molten aluminum
Think about putting an ice cube into a drink, or even a pot of boiling water. The water is much hotter than the ice. Does it instantly disappear? No, there is a limited rate of heat exchange.

In theory the aluminum would melt the lead, but at the thicknesses of molten aluminum you had, and with the speed of a bullet, enough thermal energy can’t be transferred to the bullet to melt it (or the lead was at least still dense enough in molten form that it remained together in the molten aluminum) and was able to punch through the container and ballistics gel
“Inconclusive” Wink wink
Nononono, you can’t say “gun,” you gotta say “holey moly....” yeah, I’ll see myself out.
Xander Pheonix Over in demolition ranch channel we call them toys/tools
you made a fortnite reference.
i'll let it slide this time, but no more.
To backyard scientists and his viewers:
Here's why the aluminum didn't stop the bullet- www.quora.com/What-would-happen-if-you-shoot-a-gun-and-a-lightning-bolt-strikes-the-bullet
A lightning bolt is many times hotter than a can of molten aluminum and it would barely heat a bullet up. The problem is that the time the bullet is heated is just too short. Hope everyone is enlightened after reading this XD.
The bullet actually went through the molten aluminum the first time too, if you use the keys to navigate the frames you can actually see the path the bullet takes through the gel and aluminum, and it shouting out at the other side.
How about the old "liquid aluminium in an underground wasp/ant/termite nest?"
I kinda want to see how copper or brass would do
@@dELTA13579111315 I would imagine that copper or brass are so heavy they'd crush the tunnels and the result would be a blob.
@@amzarnacht6710 if you did an aluminum bronze with a really high percentage of aluminum maybe that would be light enough yet still have a bit of a golden color to it
Didn’t melt because of the speed it was moving at
“Yes it’s the fortnite gun lol” Is he the default skin than?
No just no
Inconclusive, the 5.56 you shot it with has a copper jacket with a lead core.
I'm fairly sure copper has a significantly high melting point than aluminium.
You could try shooting it something else.
THANK GOD you put the scar there cause if not there will be toxic 9yr just commenting "IS ThAt tHe ScAR froM ForTniTE?"
Please don’t make fortnite references. It’s 2019
Fortnite still the greatest. Don't suck so bad
Changing of the guard I hope your joking buddy
Fortnite is horrible due to the cancerous community and copying alot of games before it
@@AwesomeDesertTrains true
@@changingoftheguard7256 ngl angry birds rio is better then fortnite
I imagine this would be incredible difficult, but it'd be cool to see this test with magma instead of aluminium.
Finally a new video. Been waiting for so long
No that is *not* the Forknife gun, that's the Call of Duty gun!
Even if lead has a low melting point you can't really heat it to that temperature in a fraction of a second by putting it in molten aluminum. The bullet is pretty much solid the whole time and i would guess that the metal container for the aluminum actually provided more of a protection than the aluminum.
