Hi
am I cool
I regret this comment, sorry
Ok
Used cars for sale - slightly acidified/melted/crushed but with GREAT history.
No comment, let’s fix that!
First reply!
"slightly crushed"
ok
Hey MakersMuse you should do a video making at home retainers with 3D printer!
William is 100% the type of person to enter a video unannounced and I legitimately couldn’t tell if he actually did until everyone else showed up
"unannounced"
He doxxed his way in
What a thrill ride this video has been, Mark! The breakdown of the experiments was fascinating and your humor really added to the experience. A very innovative and exciting way of presenting science! Looking forward to the next showdown at CrunchLabs. 👌🚀🔬

Ight bro don’t glaze
Quit yapping lil bro
He’s not gonna let you hit bro
Bro doing tricks on it
Two videos in a few days. What a treat! Thank you to Mark and to the whole entire team. I'm sure there are a lot of people who help make these happen. Happy Thanksgiving!
Honestly some of the best content on the platform when engineer RUclipsrs get together to do whatever shenanigans they feel like.
Now this is peak big kid content. Makes me feel like I'm back on the playground. Thanks for this, Mark.
I still can’t believe you can do all that to a diamond! I never would have guessed how tough they are..I’m still too scared to try it myself though 😅
How is there not a comment here
@@Epicly2cause he posted it 2min ago😂😂
hi
nice comment lil bro
Your my favorite youtuber
What a line up for a video. Mark Rober is easily one of my favorite content creators. I love the editing style and music choice :)
he literally just invited all the safety third members together to destroy stuff. how fitting.
I've never actually seen acid at word before!
And I'm amazed nobody got hurt. None of that looked safe.
Great video 👍
I do not know why we all needed this video, but we definitely did. Thank you, Mr. Rober. For always providing premium content, even when we didn't know we wanted it.
Any time these guys all get together, you know it's going to be massively entertaining!
Nigel used a weaker acid solution because he knew they'd be keeping the cars they'd destroyed at the end, truly a mad genius
As is expected 💪💪
Aqua Regia is one of the strongest acids in the world buddy. Its hydrochloric acid + nitric acid....Crazy strong
That sucker has a long life ahead of it too
@@nuonchann5299aqua regia is not even close to being the strongest acid in the world "buddy".
@@nekomimicatears Which is why I said ONE of the strongest
I love how you guys thought fire extinguishers would stop lava… Mark, never change, you’re the best
This is straight up one of my favorite videos I’ve ever watched. It’s a crossover between a bunch of my favorite RUclipsrs just doing their things.
I love the glitter bombs and other pranks, those are goated, but as a big fan of engineering/science YT this held a special place in my heart seeing all my favorite creators that I already watch collab together. Fantastic stuff guys.Used cars for sale - slightly acidified/melted/crushed but with GREAT history.
Sod off, bot.
I am glad to see William and Alan Pan in a video again. We all need some silliness at the helm sometimes o7 may you go far Will and oh Mark Rober too
1:48 Mark’s hand wash detector is coming in handy!
This video will be #1 on Trending
ふ
LOL
7th wait I have a brain what am I doing?
Hi
Way to go Mark! Thanks for managing our team so well!
this episode is really starting to feel like a TV show - especially the car segment. I like it.
The six science greats of youtube finally collaborate. This is truly historic🎉
I knew that acid was really, really corrosive. What I wasn't expecting is how lava can be so strong and fascinating at the same time. Great video!
This episode was awesome. It kinda felt like a super nerdy and exceptionally smart version of Jacka$$. Perfect combo!
Having Will, Nigel, and Kevin was great. Please continue to do stuff with them.
My farts are better than Mark’s farts 💨
I’m stuff.
wulzy
@@teslacactus1135 ii love gd cologne
It was great to see you all together, needs to happen more often!
Learning about science can be fun in video games. So can using things you learned and then almost forgot. For example, I learned a few things about aerodynamics and balance when I was a kid trying to become a pilot, and then I made use of it all building space planes in Kerbal Space Program. PS for the diamond, you should've used an oxyfuel torch for your wildcard. Encasing it in lava sealed it off from oxygen, but diamonds will burn. You should've hit it with an oxidizing flame.
So fun fact about the anvil mark was using. Thats a common one sold by harbor freight, they do not harden their anvil's work surface like most normal anvils would have. Therefore the diamond was actually harder than the soft steel. While diamond is harder than regular soft steel it would be much more of a challenge if they tried denting a hardened steel anvil
Clearly they need to get in touch with one of the blacksmithing channels on RUclips and test that diamond against a real anvil! 🤣 Or maybe a power hammer!
AMEN@@FirefuryAmahira
would love to see nigel was allowed to use all types of chemical stuff. would be cool to see something like a big thermite reaction on the car
Way to give yourself a HUGE advantage Mark! You're not stuck with acid or lava as your only tool of destruction, you get to tailor your method to your target.
This is the kind of thing we dream about when we were kids, and Mark Rober is doing it IRL!
Nobody asked
@@actuallyarbitrary4444ok bruh 😂
Didn't expect to see you here
Except he is screaming too much
My farts are better than Mark’s farts 💨
Thing is a flame would be more effective than lava with the diamond. But the fact that lava didn’t just burn it, since its made of carbon, still surprised me
Here for Nile Red 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Love Nigel’s channel!!
More collabs with these guys please!! I love the energy!
You just know he’s gonna do a science monologue when that one song comes on and I’m always excited when it does
Its nice to see NileRed do what he does best. Great collab!!
The fact that mark can just get his hands on Lava and acid to the amount he can cover a car is crazy
This video will be #1 on Trending
@@ThisGuyDannyyy I hope it will!
Ya dude could probably get a vat of poison
Daddy
ikr
@MarkRober muito bom seus vídeos cada dia com novas inovações
Great way to show why tools that are used for heavy duty cutting are diamond tipped. 😄
After watching the ice part, I think it's safe to say that Mark is a pyromaniac (he really likes fire).
Honestly it would be cool to see Nigel, Mark, and Kevin as superheroes relating to their use of destruction in this video.
the fact that william just showed up uninvited is so amazing and the most william thing william could do
You know the video is going to be crazy when Mark decides to collab with Nilered and Kevin.
Second best collab
Nilered:science
Mark rober: engineering
Kevin: both
They were all on the safety third podcast too if you want to see more of them together
Yep
Yes
11:25 I don’t get why Nile didn’t choose the wood bat since wood has a buncha carbon acid would’ve eaten through it pretty easily (compared to metal at least)
I thought Mark was gonna shatter the diamond at that certain angle! Drat! I was hoping he'd win that one!
I believe a diamond can break more easily if excessive force is applied at an angle perpendicular to the alignment of the atoms inside it..
Or something like that...
Overall, very fun video to watch!! Thank you!
Should have let William get in on this more. He’s the only one with the courage to commit to a task at the expense of his own health.
The engineer of all people thought he could smash a DIAMOND with a HAMMER. lol. Also, this missed a perfect opportunity for THERMITE!
Great video as always!
I love to see this genius get so excited about this stuff. Mark, you're incredibly gifted!!
I'll admit, I was rooting for Nigel as I'm a huge NileRed fan, but everyone did awesome, and Kevin did the most satsifying destruction.
considering that his car was the only one still able to be driven back with after it was over did he really loose in the end?
@@cosmosyn2514 imagine it finally gives out in the middle of nowhere
@@thaumargaming3646 better than walking the whole distance lol
@@cosmosyn2514 well I mean he still had acid in his engine which can’t be amazing for the car
why didnt he use Pirana Solution??
I’m far from a scientist, but if he would’ve just hit the diamond with the point up, it would’ve shatters into a thousand pieces.
This is a really cool video! What is the difference between lava and heated acid?
My kids are huge fans, and they were curious who manufactured the crucibles used in this video as my husband works for a major crucible manufacturer. Thank you!
8:35 Acetone would've been much more interesting since plastic toys are made of ABS, but it's technically not an acid, so I'm guessing that's why sulfuric acid was used instead.
im happy to see William having fun hes like the mothers home cooking of create channels
I think william osman showing up despite the fact that he wasn't invited is one of the most in-character things i've seen from him
My farts are better than Mark’s farts 💨
So true lmao classic william
Showing up uninvited... how can you even blieve that?
honestly if it wasn't for the filming at Crunch Labs I would have guessed this was William Osman's second channel content. Surprised he didn't bring his own excavator.
@@dziubo1 we all know it was just a joke but it’s still funny
Hey Mark. I've been wondering lately. Would it be possible to achieve a focused lensing effect with heat distortion?
That’s a really nice interesting idea. I hope he sees this.
Thank you Mark for translating into Russian and other languages
Потрясающе, спасибо за 20 минут интеллектуального и инженерного удовольствия!
in the part with baseball bats, i would be dying from laughter when Mark would just casually pull out an industrial woodchipper
The addition of Will, Kevin, and Nigel was awesome. Please bring them on more often.
nigel is my fav science youtuber
Kevin literally risked his arrest record for science gotta love the guy
agreed
you know theyre real scientists once they get contacted by the government lmfao
Easily one of the best collabs I've seen on this channel. The Science Boys™ are a total force of chaos and watching them collaborate with Mark (and his outrageous budget per video lol) was AMAZING. More collabs with these folks, please!
(Also William Osman as the "unexpected" referee was hilarious and fantastic)
You know it's going to be crazy when NileRed is involved
Very fun video, glad you got the Safety Third crew on.
Mark pulling up in his car was the MARKEST thing I’ve ever seen
Hmm, using some concepts you could probably make a self-boring acid liquid that cyclicly deposits the material around the outside of the pool and circulates
I love how mark genuinely loves to work with all these other RUclipsrs without any kind of competitive attitude towards anyone and supporting everyone while doing so
Only on screen
Joined two months ago seems like someone comments it for him
@@LinkZeeGee😂😂😂
@@LinkZeeGeedefinitely not only on screen. They’ve all had a relationship for at least a year or two.
@@chadlipscomb It's a joke my boy
Having never seen one of your videos and being a fellow scientist, keep on inspiring!
Funnily enough Mark, your hammer could’ve easily broken that diamond. ActionLab broke a diamond by smashing a diamond with its point up so that’s why yours didn’t break 😁
The collaboration on this vid is sooo incredible.
I really appreciate your videos! My kids and I love learning from your stuff!
Honestly to even the odds Nigel should have been allowed to use any non-metallic, non-high explosive chemistry he wanted.
It would have been way too easy.
Acetone for the Legos.
Gallium for the bat.
CO₂ tablets for the car to starve the oxygen.
Power tools to disassemble it
Im pretty sure nigel could come up with something capable of dissolving pretty much everything if he can change in between rounds
@@tylerduncan5908
Galium would take too long, so he would still not win for that one.
No offense to Mark, but Nigel is my guy. He is probably less than half my age but reminds of every cool science class experiment I had growing up. Watch his stuff almost daily.
Theoretically, would it be possible to dunk a turkey in lava and perfectly cook it?
Bro I don't live in the USA, but one day I found your channel looking for something to entertain me but there really is no video that I don't enjoy, and although I'm not a kid anymore, I really admire everything you do to teach the new generations a more fun way to see science, I really admire you, you are amazing thanks for entertaining me with fun and educational science!!!!
I freaking love these collabs!
I’m genuinely inspired as a teacher. Thank you.
Seeing Mark Rober, NileRed, Kevin, and William in the same video is a dream come true 😁
The greatest dream of all time.
the science team
Yay. Willy Oz
You can’t forget Allen Pan
They are also all on a recent Safety First podcast video, discussing this video...
The Roblox world looks wonderful! I'm glad it's going to give more kids and curious minds a chance to interact with science in a fun way
Mark Rober and Backyard Scientist collabs are elite
I'd watch a top gear episode with these four.
13:57 who could have guessed that Mark was a pro rally driver in another life?
No but really, that looks a lot like a moment from Vilbrequin lol.
William better be in the next competition, he's literally the definition of a wildcard
My farts are better than Mark’s farts 💨
"For today's 'make a dessert challenge', Kevin is baking a pie with the power of refracted sunlight, Nile is chemically leavening, and using exothermic reactions to bake a cake, and I think Will is trying to... scream... a s'more into melting?"
*cut to the finale of the video, the camera focused on a vacuum chamber with speakers inside* "so we didn't expect that to work as well as it did"
I'd like to see Styropyro, he is a true wildcard
He’s OP.
Not the hand wash alarm going off though lol
The collab we absolutely needed
Mark is a low-key mad scientist ngl
These three together in one afternoon could go to Mars. They’re basically the avengers of RUclips.
Mark is slowly turning into a mad scientist. 🗿
What if you used the acid to deal with EV fires?
Like a contained payload that could put out fires in electric cars and is introduced in a way that is safe since electric fires can take anywhere from days to weeks to be put out, have the acid dissolve the sources
Im so happy nile red has now been recognised by a larger youtuber and getting to collab with mark. A guy who likes physics vs a guy who loves chemistry
My farts are better than Mark’s farts 💨
@@p-__ are you trying to poke fun at bots who post these type of comments?
@@Heggchandwichthat a bot
Yes Nile red is cool
id argue that nile is the larger youtuber. mark is a bigger 'default front page youtuber', but nile is a titan of the actual science yt community.
I don't think Mark has watched that much of Nigel's content... He has literally destroyed diamonds, hopefully he doesn't make soda out of that diamond 😂
Maybe matpat can make a food theory on thespice level of the sauce he uses compared to lava.
Well, now that we have a NileRed and TheBackyardScientist collab, im going to be forever waiting for the StyroPyro collab.
this is the most awesome collab i could’ve ever asked for
This felt super condensed like a diamond worth of sciene stuff stuffed into one video
I never thought I’d need NileRed, Kevin, and Mark in one video up until now.
Mark also was on their podcast, Safety Third!
Why? They're all science RUclipsrs. A video like this was inevitable
Don't forget William :D
I never thought I’d see mark rober and Roblox in one video
And Roblox being mentioned too is odd af
The diamond imprint in the anvil was pretty awesome. Reminds me of Gimli and the Ring!
Not surprised to see all these people here, William, Allen, Nigel, Kevin, and Mark are all and have been friends for years lol
For the car, i believe what happened is the lava pierced into the injection system, and by the look its a diesel, highly flammable fuel, so of course fire extinguishers were useless, sand would've probably done it
Greatest scientific collaboration ever.
This feels way less like a Mark Rober vid and more like, Safety Third goods around and I love it.
The damage done also depends greatly on the lava you use. Silicate lava (the melted "lava rock") is generally the coolest ranging from 800C-900C. Whereas Ultramafic lava can be almost twice as hot, ranging from 1600C-2000C (hot enough to melt steel and vaporize a lot of materials).
In addition fluoroantimonic acid, Carborane acid, or Magic acid would be much more effective.
🤓
the fluoro acid is TERRIFYING!!! there is no oopses allowed. that one needs an episode all to itself.
@@DumbOrangeFrogit’s a science channel deal with it
That and he only used orange juice amounts of it, instead of the cubic yards of it found in nature.
Go Team Lava!
@@DumbOrangeFrogyou're in the comment section of a science RUclips video 🤦🏾♀️
