When covid was more prevalent, climbing gyms that I went to only allowed people to use liquid chalk. I'm guessing the idea is that it's pretty much hand sanitizer. Some gym only allowed liquid chalk as well as it makes less mess than the powdered stuff.
Pressure treated wood is made the same way, by putting the wood in a low pressure tank and then admitting the treatment liquid and allowing air pressure to push it into the pores.
Really cool! I have used that a lot (mostly for deadlifts), but didn't know it can absorb THAT much water. Also the liquid stuff was interesting. I haven't tried that type, but interesting to know how that works as well
Very cool, it's like a magic trick! I actually have a job doing something similar to this with food, we use big vacuum chambers to lock flavors and other ingredients into the different foods we make!
1:05 if it is porous enough to suck up oil, why isn't this substance used to clean up oil spills? Like the Exxon one in the 80's? There's even oil, still, leftover in that area from that long ago.
Because its a solid and solids are hard to control so they can move it to the oil and some it all up. The liquid oil soaker is much easier to handle because it can cover a wide area in a short time and is easier to clean up. It might work if you crush it into powder but i dont think you wanna be inhaling any of the stuff
i knew it would be gym chalk! i love watching asmr videos of people crushing the blocks, they make a lovely sound. so interesting to hear about the science behind it!
I love to watch gym chalk asmr, and I was watching it just before this video. Love this video as I've seen asmrists struggle with dyeing their gym chalk blocks 😆😆
James, you should know by now that BetterHelp is the Established Titles of therapy. I won't give a like to a video with a BetterHelp sponsorship, no matter how good the video is.
All them brains and you didn’t think of picking up the chalk and holding it on top of the bottle while turning it over. I get it when you can’t see the picture for the details.

@@TrashMaster82 ppl who care about safety
the alchohol chalk would be a great practical effect for a movie where someone gets frozen or frostbitten
or turned to stone by the medusa.
There is a similar magic trick effect called “Absolute Zero”!
"all work and no play..."
i’ve seen liquid chalk and it works like that
yup exactly, very common sight if you been around climbers
2:15
i feel like THIS is how they get that “instant freezing” effect in movies n stuff without actually harming anyone
i thought the same thing.
Yes
Would be interesting if the vacuum test also had blue water to see the difference in the inside structure of the two.
Yeah. I couldn't see any difference between the two
Instead of spraying liquid everywhere you could have put the block on top and then turned both over together
fr he pisses me off sometimes
This is the Action Lab version of those fake game ads with terrible play😂
The ferrofluid all over the place...
You'd think he would have learned after the first one 😂
Yea, can’t watch the video because of that lol

My hands were so dry after this video
I absolutely despise that feeling when you watch someone else's hands get so dry, it just rubs me the wrong way
As one who messes with portland cement (the grey part of concrete) every now and then it was making me think of that.
It is incredibly drying.
My hands felt super dry after watching this video

Interesting!
Isn't liquid chalk just regular chalk mixed with alcohol?
@@-TK- ...yes...as shown in the video we just watched
It should be safer to use as there would be way less getting in the air to breath too.
@@nvcnc i just watched the first minute and went to read the comments lol.
betterhelp has a history of shady dealings. you shouldn't take sponsorships from them
That chalk is so thirsty, it has 10 Tinder profiles 😂
💀
I don't know why he didn't just cover the bottle with the block and flip them both upside down, rather than trying to flip the bottle so quick lol
Yeah that was fucking annoying lol
He did He did With the first one
I think he stopped giving a damn after he failed the first time.
-also the pores probably stop the block from forming a seal on the bottle so it's pointless to try-
No episode of Action Lab is complete without the vaccum chamber.
WE MUST HYDRADE THAT BLOCK
That's basically a real life Minecraft sponge 😮. It would be interesting to see anti-flammable objects made using it.
Have you ever heard of aerogel?
It's similar.
@@MadDragon75 yeah it is but I think aerogel is not made up of magnesium carbonate. Also it is hydrophobic....
It also dissolves in water

As a climber, this video is pretty cool. Honestly I thought making liquid chalk was slightly trickier
Colored water in a vacuum would be awesome to see, thank you for another great video

Wish I was a thirsty block
You're just a thirsty bloke
I've seen a few at the pub
You should have used the blue color water for the vacuum test to see how fast the cube soke up the water
Then... the cube would just appear blue anyways.
@@BlueBerry20071 Not where there's no water. The "bubble" would still be transparent.
@@metern yeah... but the cube would still look blue. Looking at something with a blue lense over it, makes it look blue.
@BlueBerry20071 Of course, you're absolutely right. I wasn't thinking that the cube would look blue from the outside 😂
@@metern right. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Wouldn't be action lab without the vacuum chamber 😂
True😂
2:21 I'm not into "magic tricks" at all. But this visual effect could be used in a magic trick to convince the audience something is freezing.
Hold up, hold up, you can't just drop the line about the instant pickles and walk away like nothing happened!
Previous video. I think it was a short from Action Labs. Cool video, and I think less than two weeks ago.
2:20 wow, this thing has a hell of a prank potential. For example, imagine me giving you a handshake with my hand covered in this😂
I was thinking this winter "look how cold it is" then stick my hand outside and it instantly "frosts over".
@@Chezboi30003 yeah, good one too!
Really cool!
I have used that a lot (mostly for deadlifts), but didn't know it can absorb THAT much water. Also the liquid stuff was interesting. I haven't tried that type, but interesting to know how that works as well
I like to watch bouldering sometimes and it is now very common to see them using liquid chalk. I wondered how that worked. Thanks.
I would've colored the water in the vacuum pump as well, to make it more obvious how far it had penetrated into the material
Today, I learned how industrial pickles are made

Tip with the liquid chalk: you can use this as an easy frost breath/freeze spell/icy blade effect for cosplays and such

You can and should actually measure how much water absorbed by regular and vacuumed chalk bricks to see the difference.

Ok the liquid chalk was pretty badass
Bro just invented a new climbing meta with that hand trick
liquid chalk is really nice for rock climbing, since it doesn’t cause a cloud of dust when you use it
Should have colored the water for the vacuum test too.
Did you use the Ferro fluid chalk to hold the normal chalk in the vacuum chamber?
The only acceptable Thirst Trap for November
I like how he said it would absorb all the ferrofluid and then proceeded to dump the ferrofluid everywhere including nowhere near the block lol
