Move over AntHillArt, theres a new guy in town! So today I decided I was going to pour molten aluminum on something. I just finished a new propane powered furnace and I wanted to put it to the test!
I don't know why my brain jumped to watermelon, but I'm glad it did. What was going to be a way to waste the afternoon turned into an amazing discovery!
Those asking what it smelled like: Sickly sweet with base-notes of burning hair.
For those who say this is not science, I disagree. This experiment was a way to apply a lot of the things I learned throughout the years. I designed a burner for propane, and a special cement based refractory cement to withstand the heat.

Who the fuck wakes up one day and thinks,
'FUCK IT! I'm pouring me some aluminium in a goddamn Water Melon dammit!'
Harry John That's a good question.
The Reasonable Christian The guy who made the video. There you go
Thanks :p
+Harry me lol I will try it
+Harry John Its a technique used to cast unexplored voids as they are, specifically in ant hill art. Quite a popular method actually.
finally. watermelonium
Ha! Nice. :)

I am Natvie American and I do not like the taste of watermelon.
***** i am asian and the carebear cares
evon noy You of course aren't black but couldn't help coming in here and make your racist comment. You are an insecure idiot.
Don't ya just hate it when you're pouring molten aluminum in a watermelon but it splashes a bit and the grass sets on fire?
Eurgh goddamn it Patricia look what you've done
Yup
It's the worst.

Probably the most interesting channel on RUclips. Subbed.
This made some cool "art"!! This also made me subscribe!! :)
Hi its u :)) I love your content by the way.
Yooo
Whoah, is this an easter egg?
Skrim granmaaaaaaaa!
GAMER GRANDMA!
I never realized how strong a watermelon's shell is. The Aluminum just slide right off of it.
+Mono Kitty
Stick a water bottle in a fire. The water cooling the plastic is the only thing keeping it from melting for awhile.
+Person. pretty sure if the watermelon hull was dried it would just engulf in flames
+Mono Kitty
its a liquid. why wouldnt it slide off?
+Mono Kitty Of course, its a watermeloooan
+Fred H maybe because it's super hot.
i just wish you didnt show it to us at the beginning of the video, now im just thinking, i know what will look like...
techyin326 Yeah, but most people have a attention span shorter than a coked up goldfish. I had to show them something to keep them interested.
***** I love all the psychology that we come up with for youtube. One could argue that if the highlight of the video isn't in the first 20 seconds then the viewer will get bored and move on, or on the flip side the viewer might have been willing to watch the whole thing, but since they saw the end result in the beginning they don't need to watch the rest of the video. You have to find a perfect balance of immediate interest and attention grabbing ambiguity to keep the average view on board for the whole video.
Oh man tell me about it. Intros are very important. I always post my videos a few days earlier on facebook and g+ to see if anybody has any critiques. Do you ever look at your viewer retention in analytics?
***** Yeah I haven't looked at the most recent data for average viewer retention, but personally I won't watch a video completely if its more than about 7-8 minutes. (if its from a channel I have never seen before, if its from a channel I'm subscribed too though I'll watch up to about 20 minutes) Thumbnails are also really important. A good thumbnail (in my opinion) has to have punchy colors, the subject of it needs to take up about half the frame, the subject needs to have a high contrast from the background, and there needs to be a big enough lack of small details that when the image gets shrunken down to the size of a postage stamp it is still very clear what the subject of the picture is. Also I love it when the thumbnail shows just enough of the video's subject that you understand what the end result is, but it is just ambiguous enough to evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue that makes you want to find out more about it. I've heard that humans are a visual species that can sort through thousands of images in a matter of seconds. So having the picture that a viewer's eyes will be drawn to more than others is the real secret to success.
Magneto! Quite the picky one, aren't we? Imagine all the information you've missed out on due to such nonsensical limitations.
you could totally sell these pieces of art as fish tank decorations. your beads you electro melded, the watermelon, even the glass would all look epic in a fishtank.
This kind of reminded me of those amazing at home DIY copper crystals you made very early on your channel, except these aluminum series are made in seconds! Cool metal work!
that sculpture looks awesome :)
Thanks
it does look awesome
+Jurassic Tube I'd put it in a museum. :)
it sorta looks like a spine somehow
Hey Jurassic tube I agree my friend also I'd really love to put it in a museum and hey backyard scientist I really like your videos keep up the good work :) ps: can you please make a video where you pour molten aluminum into a toy plzzzzz.
That got me excited. The sculpture that came out of it is something that seems worth keeping.
maybe brass or copper too, i would love to see that, people talk about gold and silver and platinum, but i love copper and brass.

Straight to the point! Thank you Kevin!
Those pour skills are less than adequate.
ShadowKnight7171 Scrolled down just to see if someone had already posted this LOL
Oh well, at least he didn't set things on f- ...oh
ShadowKnight7171 Yes, his skills were very.... pour
Oh the puns, they're fruitful......
I'm sorry
Jon Ames pourful puns
Me and my sister tried this and she got burns to 80% of her body.
What the hell man?
Hey guys, just back from the hospital. My sister is in an induced coma right now. She has third degree burns over most of her body from the molten metal that exploded all over her.
I'm obviously devastated. I'm going to bed now cos its been a long day, but I'll update you guys tomorrow when we meet up with the burns specialist who flies in tomorrow. Thx for your support.
Excited Kevin Let's see those matrix dodge moves as high velocity molten metal is splattering towards you.
You sound like a fucking chil- oh wait, looking at your profile there, you are a child.. what are you doing on the internet without mom?
Lil' Kevin is using RUclips like a big boy now! Making dumb comments because... Why?
Ben Watts Bullshit lmao
Hey Mad man!!! I saw you on Off The Ranch, and being that I can personally relate to your random creativity I thought I would reach out. I love the creativity and positive energy that you express/send out. Much love from Nebraska dude!!!
Awesome!
First after four years
2nd after 4 years
I've seen a lot of pourings into ant hills but never thought of the results of something like a watermelon. I wonder what else would be interesting to do this with :o
***** Hey I didn't know you watch him. :D
General KittyKat :3 Can't you see it's fake..
It's actually not because if you move your cursor on his profile picture it says he has a couple million subs.
Oh the irony ;)
And is supposed to be verified
Oh, i just saw his google+ acc. Screw RUclips with "improvements", you could see if it was verified before by just looking at the comments. My apologizes
I love how everyone is like "look at the molten aluminium solidifying in the melon" and the dogs just like "ooo melon"
Dog don’t eat it!
First channel with no clickbait and quality content I've seen in a long time. Thanks
“You wanna see me get hurt??”
*The entire Internet*: Yes...
This just went nuts level viral. Wow, proof that one youtube video truly can set your channel on fire.
***** This video had less than 100 views the night I posted it. when i woke up, it had over 1.2M and is now about to pass 4 million views! It also gave me 20,000 subscribers i am so grateful :)
***** thats going to be a nice paycheck ;)
***** aww you must be really happy about it :) I love your channel you are amazing!
Yup, this was crazy. I have never seen a RUclips video gain so many views so fast. Too bad I couldn't use RUclips the day this video came out, I would have been one of the first to comment :(
but, uh, danisnotonfire
How awesome is it that just the one watermelon he chosed to pour Molten Aluminium in, had a small dinosaur skeleton in it! What are the odds?
I am TOTALLY subbing. All your vids are so cool- Mark’s too... I knew science was amazing.
The outcome is awesome... This is purely original art... A piece of it is one of a kind... 👍👍
It's Aluminium actually
Daniel Parsons Depends.
Daniel Parsons its actually adamantium
***** but the English language says aluminium
***** If we're being pedantic then there's three ^ ^
Daniel Parsons Except its not. You guys from the UK are getting annoying. Both spellings are correct. In American English, it is Aluminum. In English in the UK its Aluminium. So, you're technically right and wrong at the same time.
interesting use of a watermelon. did you keep the aluminium piece
***** Yep! It sits on a shelf with all my other trinkets
***** Have you seen the videos that are done like this in ant hills? (not very nice to do that to ants) but it's similar to your sculpture
He mentioned the ant sculptures at about 1:50 in the video so I will assume he has lol
+S Ann I believe they only pour it into ant hills that are known to be empty :)
+Simon Christensen pretty sure they do it to kill the ants :)
I didn't think it was going to explode but didnt expect it would get into the seeds!! And it looks really neat! Just joined your family.
Fantastic, I want to try this! Thanks for sharing
Starving children in africa could have drank that molten aluminum.
U GOT A SERIOUS OBSESSION WITH MOLTEN ALUMINUM
+DragonTigerGaming You didn't saw Tito4re and his obsession with molten copper
+Sugrufactory you did't saw.
Maybe he got a lifetime supply
Nah, Its just easy to get
There was also that Red Hot Nickel Ball
If you ever decide to sell the molten aluminum watermelon art I'd be interested in buying one. It looks pretty cool. Looks kind of like a silver plant.
Alternate title:
“Florida man make watermelon and fed it to his dog as prank”
Stop with this "Florida man" business.
I'm just here to debate the spelling of aluminum.
***** aluminum or aluminium :)
Very worldly answer!
Yes you are :)

I got this when I searched for octopuses mating. Don't ask why.
Why?
DOLANS EVIL PARASITE BROTHER!!!!
Why?
some people put really wierd tags on their videos
*octopi
Thank you for not making this video unnecessarily long
Really cool results!
wow are you guys fucking serious youre so CRUEL! that watermelon had a SOUL! that watermelon was SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER!!!
bloodlucky hahahahaa like that episode of Family Guy lol
+bloodlucky
You should've read the comments when this guy poured molten allumium into a fire ant nest. People were freaking out, despite how dangerous fire ants are.
MrsPaul
haha that may be why i made this comment lol
+Ustes Greenridge III Yet lawn pesticide is a billion dollar industry...
+bloodlucky You're a black guy?
pro tip: don't show the finished product in the very beginning of the video! What will compel me to keep watching after seeing what I came to see?
Well, we dont know where it comes from so we might want to see the video.
That's what made me want to see the video in the first place jackass
what do you feel now, after discovering that you can make aluminum plants with water melons?
Wonderful job.
I have never seen this before
You have created an aluminum potted plant.
darthkotya I want one!
Yay! Aluminum!
+darthkotya i thought it ;ooked like that too, if that were on the market, i'd buy it.
Yay!
you could pit it in a vase thing inside of the metal foundry
This man got more aluminum in the grass then in watermelon
0:58 So no one's making a dirty joke about that?
HHHHHH
i thought of that also
G
ok
Go back to reddit please
Dude. This channel is amazing. I have been watching this the past 3 days. I will be sharing.
are the seeds inside the aluminum now?????
that's what I want to know
They were disintegrated.
Pretty sure those seeds don't even exist anymore
seeds can withstand a LOT of shit
You could sell those castings and pay for future vid. I wouldn't mind one in my house
Yeah I'd totally buy one!
Sooo freaking cool and beautiful at the same time
these are nice dude.. innovative
This channel should be called molten aluminum v.s. Random objects
Shit went viral. Good stuff, congrats! :) You deserve the views.
Epic
Man this channel always brightens my day
I love your work

So awesome meeting you guys today at Pirates!
@1:13 that right there, stabbing without your thumb on the end of the handle, good way to cut yourself. I learned that the hard way, severed a tendon that resulted in the loss of mobility in a finger. *LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!*
Bejho Uhuy *PALMFACE*
First digit on the pinky doesn't bend.
+Doug DaBest yes it does mine does anyway
***** lol
+Doug DaBest Shit, I can definitely see how that would happen. If he stabbed hard enough his hand would've slid down and gotten cut on the blade which was only 1 inch away from his pinky. Is that the finger you lost mobility in?
edawg792 Yup, the teeth slid along the joint. *shivers*
Wolverine knows exactly how that watermelon felt!
10/10 - so simple to melt aluminium and somehow get a device that doesn't get absolutely MELTED by it to pour it in.
Cool thanks for sharing this
Is it me or does this give you shivers down the spine?
So those pods that are connected to the base of the casting are where the seeds were?
+CodeKillerz yes

No matter what people say about this stunt at least this is video proof that nerds can get a hot girlfriend after all. Good job dude.
Tommy Berezin I think she is pretty but the fact that she is with a grown dude pouring molten aluminum in a watermelon in the middle of the day moves her from the cute to the hot category. Lets face it how many attractive women would be interested in a guy who does this in is spare time.
W Lee Thanks! We have known each other for a long time and she supports me whatever I do, that makes her a 10 in my book.
That's awesome!
yeah
back yard scientist you are on outrageous acts of
science!!!!
That's how they made Wolverine.
Would someone care to explain to me all the watermelon black people stuff going on in the comments? What significance does a watermelon supposedly have to the color of your skin?
I thought it was common knowledge that black people love watermelon, Henessy, and fried chicken. Very stereotypical but commonly joked about in American culture at least. Don't know about other countries.
+jilijub I dont like watermelon.
+20buckman12 Hennessy cognac? Expensive taste...

For some reason it looks satisfying.

I use the same gloves whenever I do my backyard experiments!
Hi Backyardscientist, I love ur vids and I really enjoy watching them. Last year I found a silver coloured nugget in the bush and didn’t know what it is, and I want to show it to you so you can tell me but I can’t, i thought it was platinum, then silver, then lead but it’s probably aluminium but I’m not sure. Keep up with the awesome work and I will keep watching
