      for people who don't know, Galium is a metal that melts in very very low temperatures (very low in comparison to other metals)
      Infact you can melt it with your hands if your body produces enough heat.
      Its a pretty cool metal, not very practical, but its a pretty cool science experiment. Just be careful to keep it away from other metals as it eats them away.

    When I was a kid, there was a man around my hometown that used this trick to entertain people at cookouts. He used a big cast iron pot and would build a fire under it, fill it with oil and deep fry fish for people. He had a bucket of water next to the kettle, dip his hand I. The water and grab a piece of fish out with his bare hand. People would pay him to come and fry fish for them at cookouts, like family reunions and such, just to see him do this. He was lightning fast (and had burns all over his arms from being splashed with hot oil). I always thought it was a HARD way to make a hundred bucks.

    I had no idea this was called the leidenfrost effect... I have been, however, since childhood, acutely aware of the fact that if I wanted to know if something was hot but I wasn't sure, to wet a finger (yes, spit works just fine) and then quickly touch the object. If it sizzled, it was way too hot. If it didn't sizzle, I'd feel the afterheat. Both cases meant "let it cool off".

      It is not dangerous, I have tried. Works with tin too. Doesn't have to be as hot as the stuff they used here though. It is a weird feeling, you can feel the lead pressing on your finger. And it will get hot if you don't get your finger up again in a hurry!

      people get hit by motlen metal all the time, ask any welder or angle grinder. that being said its probably a bit different. certianly in lower quantities, and generally harder metal that would solidify mid air before hitting you unlike lead that is more likely to stay molten for longer.

    • @ChadKakashi

      Lead would move differently than water so I doubt any drop would rise high enough to reach their hands when dipping.

  • @ChakraX2
    @ChakraX2 6 лет назад +4

    The reason why it didn't work at the leads original melting point was because it just hit that temperature. Any reduction of heat would make the lead begin to solidify again, hence why the metal stuck to the sausage. Since it was prolonged, the lidonfrost effect didn't last and thus cooked the sausage. It's why then it worked at 200 above it's melting point, because it was still at it's melting point despite the temperature drop.

    Works with liquid nitrogen too (albeit without wetting your hand first) and I'd try it any day. Takes about a half-second of constant skin contact with liquid nitrogen for it to evaporate and frostbite you, so shoving your hand into a cup of it and back out at 30ish mph is totally fine.

    The same Leidenfrost effect happens if you dip your hand quickly in liquid nitrogen, the liquid nitrogen boils as it makes contact, and does not transfer much heat from your hand to itself. This must be done quickly of course and your hand will get cold if you do it, and too slowly means you could freeze your hand solid

    • @ChadKakashi
      @ChadKakashi 2 года назад

      All I can think about now is how painful it would be to torture someone with liquid nitrogen. You dip the finger in until it’s frozen and dead, you take the hand out and break the finger with like the butt of a gun while the victims watching. It would be incredibly painful and psychologically scarring.

      +Kragatar Yes, like Daniel said, the Leidenfrost effect works with any very hot substance or surface. Lead is probably the more common example because, relative to iron or steel, its melting point is relatively low, thus making it easier to handle while still achieving the effect.

    • @Kragatar
      @Kragatar 9 лет назад +11

      Brandon Whitaker I foresee two problems with molten steel:
      1. It's thick and creamy, not liquidy like molten lead... it might be too thick to get the leidenfrost going.
      2. It's so hot that even if the leidenfrost effect did happen, the radiant heat from the metal might be enough to burn you through the protective air layer.
      But who knows... maybe it really would be possible. It'd be a cool experiment to do... but I'd use something other than my hand for the first test. :-P

This is important during freezing embryos because you want to freeze fast enough to prevent ice crystals from forming.

    Thank goodness for this, because before I knew the secret, I was constantly getting burned by all the molten lead everywhere.

    I love the myths that are so stupid you can't imagine it. Oh, sweet. It is "insulated" with steam. Steam can't hurt you! All it is is extremely hot water.
    ...wait.

      Ahhh, now I see. Your hand is covered in water and you just quickly poke fingers into the lead. I figured "dip your hand in lead" meant "dip your hand in lead".

      spraynpray I figured it meant what it actually means, which is "To plunge briefly into a liquid". What are you talking about? Also, regarding the steam, did you know you can actually deep fry ice-cream without melting it?

      legion999 Yes, the verb means that. But the noun "hand" refers to the "hand", not a finger.

      spraynpray The myth states "Dip your hand". You are welcome to try with your whole hand, if you can do it fast enough. They demonstrated the physics behind it with a finger, which quite frankly is what mythbusters are all about.

    It’s very ironic that in order to not be burned, the temp needs to be high.

      I think it's pretty self explanatory as to what would happen.. Lots of flames and burning one could imagine.

    Oh, this one's a classic! It works on liquid nitrogen too! Liquid nitrogen is roughly -200C, or -320F. Enough to turn CO2 into dry ice, liquify the oxygen in the air and freeze, then shatter flesh like glass. Your hand is extremely hot compared to liquid nitrogen, so a blanket of nitrogen gas forms around it and prevents the vast majority of heat loss. It's a nice, mild cooling feel, but it'll only save you for a fraction of a second, so be fast. Side note---freeze fruit in liquid nitrogen, it's delicious!
