Gallium Vs Aluminum & 14 Different Metals! How Will they React? Find Out!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2019
- Testing liquid metal gallium vs aluminum & 14 different metals to see how they react to the highly corrosive property of gallium. We'll be testing common metals, such as zinc, tin, brass, copper, steel, chrome, aluminum, nickel, bronze, stainless steel, magnesium, silver, lead, and uncommon metals such as bismuth and indium. After the application of gallium, we will wait 24 hours to see if the test metal was damaged or corroded by the gallium. Gallium vs aluminum and much more!

Amazing video! You put a LOT of time and effort into this one! Always a big thumbs up and I do watch the commercials to help support your channel. Thanks again and looking forward to your next video!!
Thanks for watching Todd! Your latest video gets another big thumbs up. :-)
I m an big fan of project farm and subscriber notice PF coment and here to sai helo . One more thing looking for a video of yours of course about small gas generators if the do what they sai. 🇧🇷 Leonardo Queiroz thank you Todd!
Drop of Gallium VS engine?
Thank you for this great experiment! I was curious about this question too and you answered marvelously!
You rock the periodic table man way better than I remember from high school chemical metal class. I do remember my heavy metal music courses tho.
Great job on this! Best comparisons.
Thanks Blake! Please share the link.
How this only has 11k views in 08/21 is crazy…. The content is way to good… much respect
YT screws me over on the majority of my videos. Glad you enjoyed it.
This was fantastic. Always nice to see proper experimental procedure being observed. I'm sure most of us are familiar with the properties of common metals, but would have been nice to include control groups for each unaffected metal for reference.
Great video, keep up the great work.
Thank you! Unfortunately YT pushes all the wrong videos. A lot of time went into making this video....
THANK YOU , FOR YOU AND RUclips
Awesome! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Please share. Thank you
Excellent excellent!!! Thanks! Great testing
Glad you liked it!
Yes i like this video!.. Pretty helpful too, don't want to fly through Gallium rain... 😂
Not sure what you mean unless I was riding an aluminum bike. Gallium will not harm you directly.
Cause a planes aluminium it would dissolve in rain
Great Work!!!
Thanks! Be sure to share, so far the video was a waste of my time due to the lack of views.
@@electronicsNmore Will do Chief, the System Stinks!!!
Hey Doug. Late on my comment. I watched this last night. Great job ! with the testing. All my best buddy.
No problem. Thanks for watching and supporting my work!
To me, this video is very ASMR and relaxing.
Glad to hear that!
so if you want to make a container out of metal to hold gallium, use nickel or steel.
For the non reactive metals, can you retest them with a sequel over a longer period such as months?
You could also add gold in there, you can buy 1 gram or smaller at 1/50 to 1/100 oz bars for an affordable price.
By the way, this video is one of my favorites on RUclips, and I've come back here like 3 times now. xD its also been super useful since I have a lot of gallium, and I'm trying to design new fuel systems that take advantage of gallium's low melting point.👍
the bismuth at the end was very interesting
Thank you for watching! Be sure to check out my other videos and share.
Excellent video, this is exactly the sort of videos that I want to make when I make a channel! I was searching for this information for so long! and you gave such good information! can you try gallium with any other metals you didn't try in this video?
you said: *"the metals were all strong except copper and indium"* I would have to disagree, tin and lead are very soft metals, in fact, you can scratch them with your bare hands. and bismuth is very brittle and also not very hard, aluminum and magnesium are softer metals as well.
Good job eliminating all potential variables. True science right there 👍
Excellent video !!! You answered several questions I had except Gallium and gold. Your Silver test was not pure silver though Please redo these tests with pure, Platinum, Titanium, silver and pure gold (not 24kt gold). I can not find anything on these reacting with Gallium. Time for an update.
Interesting stuff! Does it seem like like the Gallium may have strengthened the Bismuth?
Watching this with no sound and I can’t help but imagine Bob Ross narrating this
Would be interesting to know which chemical properties the materials that got effected have in common, for the gallium to infiltrate the structure.
I think it's the lattice structure of the metal.
www.tec-science.com/material-science/structure-of-metals/lattice-structure-of-metals/
They all seem to be really close to Gallium on the table.
Cool video. I have a question... Does the oxide layer of aluminium protect it from the gallium? Do you have to get rid of the oxide layer to get the effect?
I don't think the gallium would react with a layer of aluminum oxide.
Gallium easily breaks through the oxide layer.
I have an aluminum bicycle seat post stuck in a steel frame.
I’ve seen an example where gallium can be used to eat away the post.
My concern is the steel frame. From your video it seems that it would be safe at least in short term.
What can I use to completely neutralize any effects of the gallium on the steel over time.
Which metal will have the same effect on steel and brass like the gallium has on the aluminium?
7:23 So that's how E.T. was created.
I thought it looked like an alien also. :-) Thanks for watching! Be sure to share so videos like this don't end up being a waste of my time.
can ailon react with gallium
Just came to say copper and other metals can be softened or hardened with heat and pressure. Hammer that piece of copper and it will not bend as easily. heat up that brass and it will bend with little force.
Is there a way for me to color it
That straining sound...😂😂😂
could you make a video of nickel gallium alloy
What about alliy wheels? Aluminum and magnesium alloy?
Hmm posted the same time as project farm. Hmmm lol nice that you are branching out to experiments. I assume this was more of a quick fun things to do. Do you take suggestions? Now let's see what project farm posted... :)
I've done experiments before. It wasn't quick, a lot of hours went into filming & editing this video. I now upload videos mostly 5pm Thurs, but sometimes Mon or Tues at 5pm.
That last metal 😅 it will be an interesting discovery if a corrosive agent for other metals actually strengthens bismuth only
Thanks for watching!
I feel sorry for zinc and magnesium since most people probably just think they're aluminum.
It's supposed to make steel brittle but probably takes a lot longer than aluminum.
I wonder are certain everyday metal objects like nickel coins or washers somewhat bullet resistant so you could make a homemade style vest???
Everything is bulletproof, if it's thick enough. :-)
Would it react with thallium since that's in the same group as aluminium and gallium and indium
it probably would, but I wouldn't tests it, given how incredibly toxic and rare thallium is
a conclusion of all the test results would've made the video much better, also would've gotten you to 20 minutes lol. I always do enjoy your videos but when doing these many tests it's nice to have the data pulled up at the end.
I don't do that because way too many people would skip to the end to get the results and go. Bad idea. It makes all my hard work a waste of time.
@@electronicsNmore Very true haha i didn't think of that. great video though
I think you should give people that choise if the video is well put together i will watch other ones
I felt the same way that you needed a recap and I'm going to fast forward to the parts I want to see anyway it's just really frustrating
If put in the water is it behave like aluminum generating hydrogen?
Would gallium have an effect on any metaloids such as silicone, germanium ,arsenic etc
Not sure, you'd have to look that up. Thanks for watching!
How does mercury compare to gallium? And why don't they mix?
So Zinc, Indium, and Aluminum were really bad. They all border Gallium on the periodic table. Tin is just diagonal to it too. Perhaps try a follow up with Cadmium, Germanium, and Silicon?
Can confirm, reacts ever so slightly with silicon, if left for days or weeks I bet it would have a noticeable effect.
Can't say much for cadmium or germanium however..
I'd love to cease experiment with zinc alloys commonly overused used for cheap locks and various device cases
What happens if you leave them for longer?
Probably more corrosive effects would be observed on some metals.
Please try amalgamating bizmuth and gallium and then melting and recrystalising . I wonder if there would be effect on it
How it reacts with gold?
Very little affects gold, so I'd gamble and say nothing.
i think that once its cooled down it wil turn into a frikandel speciaal
0.925 Silver ?
What do you think.
It’s not dissolving the indium it’s alloying with it to form galinstan minus the tin, and galinstan is what computer enthusiasts call liquid metal thermal compound used to transfer heat from cpu/gpu to heatsink
Makes sense.
excuse my Britishness but the periodical table clearly shows two i's sir
If the gallium is still soft after that period of time it must be pretty warm in that room
Gallium has what's known as supercooling, which means it remains liquid even several degrees below it's freezing point, my own gallium remained liquid for hours before it finally solidified, and that's at 20C in my room, if his room is even slightly above 20C it could remain liquid for much longer.
Useful information even after 2 years lol, I bet that gallium piece of yours is long gone by know so it won't matter but oh well XD
@@igameidoresearchtoo6511 nope I still have it
@@kingsyergoo Damn, well, great for you then.
It takes one year for gallium to effect copper.
The video just shows short term effects. Thanks for watching!
Estoy acá por ciencia de sofá
¡Gracias por mirar!
So...
Gallium makes bismuth metal a little stronger?
Hmmm... interesting!
Also magnesium
That bronze was sintered.
how about mercury? my mom always said never let mercury touch your gold necklace
gallium and indium = galinstan, galinstan = non toxic mercury.
GalInStan = gallium + indium + tin (stannum in Latin).
The led got harder
you missed out iron and cobalt
Can't test every metal unfortunately. I put a lot of time into this video, and the views should've been much higher. I'm glad I didn't spend more time making the video. Thanks for watching
@@electronicsNmore oh thank you sir, nice video btw. I came across a compund anti seize made of nickel. Im doing some fun experiment with magnets,before I buy it, I would like to know if it is magnetic. could you confirm please.
@@johnnewman3221 I have no idea, I don't have any on hand. There may be very little nickel inside.
@@electronicsNmore ok, please reply if you find any in your country sir.
Please preform Gallium v Gold and weigh the benefits of each. As I believe gallium is the universes conductor even to the earth. Run experiments please and let me know thanks.
3:40
It is scary to think that some nutso could launch a relatively small amount of Gallium into orbit to permanently ground all spacecraft.
That is not a steel lock
Triggered right at the start lol
Aluminium is the proper name, no matter if your British or not.
Good Lord just DO it! lol
Gotta let it stay on the steel for 3 months maybe
What about titanium?
That's a mystery. 😁
@@electronicsNmore You should try it if you can get your hands on some titanium. I think it would be interesting
Not worth the time. Way too many people on YT watch the wrong videos and don't share. YT also hides my videos way down the search results, even though they're much better than many other videos on YT.
Just don't drop you aluminum/gallium alloy into water
its 15 metals, not 14. edit: misread title...
Read the title. Gallium Vs Aluminum, that's one, then I also test 14 others.
@@electronicsNmore oh, oops...
also, thank you soooo much for this video, I have come back here 3+ times for the useful information. I'm trying to find new sources of energy that are cheap, that the average person can use, and I have stumbled across one that uses gallium.
ARE YOU A WIZARD?
Bismuth got stronger with gallium
Gold ??????
I only had 14K, not pure.
Mercury does the same chit to Aluminum. Turns it Crumbly prior to Digesting it.
I have Mercury, but it's hazardous. Not good breathing in the vapors that are given off.
@@electronicsNmore LOL, Mercury has been demonized . No one gave a chit about it when I had every tooth in my head stuffed with the stuff. No one gave a crap about it when they Pushed for everyone to use Florescent Light Bulbs. Mercury is no more dangerous then half the crap under most Kitchen sinks. Brain Washed. The same can be said for Lead.
@@pulesjet Far from brainwashed. LOL I had all my amalgams removed back in the late 90's. Mercury has no place inside the human body.
@@electronicsNmore I'd have no teeth if I went that rout. As a Prospector I use Mercury from time to time. Like most anything else in the world it can be dangerous. It's not inherently Dangerous. Handled correctly it present no threats. Brain Washed. Any damages done would have happened prior to you having it removed. Neurological.
@@s1iznc1d34 Only when heated to high temperatures.
Like si vienes de ciencia de sofa
What?-no gold??
Or platinum, for that matter?
I'm glad I didn't, the video was a big waste of my time. YT hid it so far down the search results that inferior videos got way more views.
electronicsNmore
Damn! Was *curious* to see if gallium could react with gold or platinum. (Oddly, seem to be unable to find any info about this online...)
Thanks for saying it correctly, it’s definitely ALUMINIUM Hahaha 👌🏼😂
Can put this on the towers , walk away and they all fall down
Great video where science is concerned but isnt it a felony to destroy federal currency lol
Nope, no crime.
the sound of the dental pick on the metal made me want to blow my brains out. maybe turn it down a bit next time and add coments over the video
LOL. No one else complained.
Me thinking fda guidelines are bull shit. 1 drop can take down a plane.
Gallium made the bismuth stronger it looks like
