back to the king of random today we’re
back to the king of random today we’re gonna be trying an experiment that a lot
gonna be trying an experiment that a lot
gonna be trying an experiment that a lot of you have asked to see we’re gonna see
of you have asked to see we’re gonna see
of you have asked to see we’re gonna see what happens if we pour molten aluminum
what happens if we pour molten aluminum
what happens if we pour molten aluminum onto dry ice and the opposite and see
onto dry ice and the opposite and see
onto dry ice and the opposite and see what happens if you drop some dry ice
what happens if you drop some dry ice
what happens if you drop some dry ice into some molten aluminum we’ve got our
into some molten aluminum we’ve got our
into some molten aluminum we’ve got our furnace ready to go and we’ve got a
furnace ready to go and we’ve got a
furnace ready to go and we’ve got a large block of dry ice so let’s get some
large block of dry ice so let’s get some
large block of dry ice so let’s get some aluminum melting and prep our dry ice to
aluminum melting and prep our dry ice to
aluminum melting and prep our dry ice to see what will happen this is some of the
see what will happen this is some of the
see what will happen this is some of the same aluminum cable that we’ve used in a
same aluminum cable that we’ve used in a
same aluminum cable that we’ve used in a previous video it’s a pretty cheap
previous video it’s a pretty cheap
previous video it’s a pretty cheap source of fairly high-grade aluminum
source of fairly high-grade aluminum
source of fairly high-grade aluminum now while our furnace is heating up I
now while our furnace is heating up I
now while our furnace is heating up I said I also want to prep our block of
said I also want to prep our block of
said I also want to prep our block of dry ice and what I’m going to do is take
dry ice and what I’m going to do is take
dry ice and what I’m going to do is take this drill bit and try and drill a sort
this drill bit and try and drill a sort
this drill bit and try and drill a sort of core hole out of the center of it I
of core hole out of the center of it I
of core hole out of the center of it I don’t want to pour the aluminum on and
don’t want to pour the aluminum on and
don’t want to pour the aluminum on and have it all just flow right off I really
have it all just flow right off I really
have it all just flow right off I really want it to stay in contact with the dry
want it to stay in contact with the dry
want it to stay in contact with the dry ice so hopefully I’ll be able to make a
ice so hopefully I’ll be able to make a
ice so hopefully I’ll be able to make a small well in our block of dry ice that
small well in our block of dry ice that
small well in our block of dry ice that our liquid aluminum can sit in let’s
our liquid aluminum can sit in let’s
our liquid aluminum can sit in let’s give it a shot
give it a shot
give it a shot I’ve never tried drilling into dry ice
I’ve never tried drilling into dry ice
I’ve never tried drilling into dry ice before
all right I think that is a pretty good
all right I think that is a pretty good well that will hold our liquid aluminum
well that will hold our liquid aluminum
well that will hold our liquid aluminum nicely and it’s still at least in these
nicely and it’s still at least in these
nicely and it’s still at least in these thick below where I’ve drilled out so we
thick below where I’ve drilled out so we
thick below where I’ve drilled out so we should have a good insulating layer
should have a good insulating layer
should have a good insulating layer still our drill bit got nice and cold
still our drill bit got nice and cold
still our drill bit got nice and cold drilling into our block of dry ice
drilling into our block of dry ice
drilling into our block of dry ice looks like our aluminum is just starting
looks like our aluminum is just starting
looks like our aluminum is just starting to melt inside the crucible now
I think our aluminum is now pretty well
I think our aluminum is now pretty well molten and before I take it and pour it
molten and before I take it and pour it
molten and before I take it and pour it into our block of dry ice I also want to
into our block of dry ice I also want to
into our block of dry ice I also want to try breaking off a small piece of the
try breaking off a small piece of the
try breaking off a small piece of the dry ice and dropping it down into that
dry ice and dropping it down into that
dry ice and dropping it down into that aluminum I’m not sure how much if at all
aluminum I’m not sure how much if at all
aluminum I’m not sure how much if at all it will react I know that regular icing
it will react I know that regular icing
it will react I know that regular icing will balloon can have a sort of
will balloon can have a sort of
will balloon can have a sort of explosive effect and I am a little
explosive effect and I am a little
explosive effect and I am a little concerned about that with the dry ice as
concerned about that with the dry ice as
concerned about that with the dry ice as well although I don’t think we’ll have
well although I don’t think we’ll have
well although I don’t think we’ll have that violent of a reaction so our
that violent of a reaction so our
that violent of a reaction so our small-scale test of dropping a small
small-scale test of dropping a small
small-scale test of dropping a small piece of dry ice in will involve me
piece of dry ice in will involve me
piece of dry ice in will involve me being able to be away having some
being able to be away having some
being able to be away having some containing walls so if it does splash
containing walls so if it does splash
containing walls so if it does splash I’m not in as much danger and overall I
I’m not in as much danger and overall I
I’m not in as much danger and overall I think it’ll just be safer to test it out
think it’ll just be safer to test it out
think it’ll just be safer to test it out on that scale first I’ve got a small
on that scale first I’ve got a small
on that scale first I’ve got a small chunk of dry ice let’s see what happens
chunk of dry ice let’s see what happens
chunk of dry ice let’s see what happens if I start by just dropping this little
if I start by just dropping this little
if I start by just dropping this little piece into our Lumina all right
piece into our Lumina all right
piece into our Lumina all right dry ice being dropped into molten
dry ice being dropped into molten
dry ice being dropped into molten aluminum 3 2 1
it’s just kind of floating on top of it
it’s just kind of floating on top of it I’ve got a few more tiny pieces I’ll
I’ve got a few more tiny pieces I’ll
I’ve got a few more tiny pieces I’ll drop those into we are seeing the late
drop those into we are seeing the late
drop those into we are seeing the late in frost effect in full force
like let’s try this with a slightly
like let’s try this with a slightly larger trunk to see if it makes any
larger trunk to see if it makes any
larger trunk to see if it makes any difference well it dropped it and it
difference well it dropped it and it
difference well it dropped it and it fell in I dropped from high enough that
fell in I dropped from high enough that
fell in I dropped from high enough that it actually fell into the aluminum
it actually fell into the aluminum
it actually fell into the aluminum instead of just sitting on top and it
instead of just sitting on top and it
instead of just sitting on top and it made just sort of one big bubble sitting
made just sort of one big bubble sitting
made just sort of one big bubble sitting on the surface of the aluminum it’s not

floating on the surface there there we
floating on the surface there there we go there’s our first test seeing what
go there’s our first test seeing what

happens if we put a small chunk of dry
happens if we put a small chunk of dry ice into the molten aluminum now I think
ice into the molten aluminum now I think
ice into the molten aluminum now I think it’s time we scale it up and pour a
it’s time we scale it up and pour a
it’s time we scale it up and pour a bunch of that molten aluminum down

inside our dry ice block what do you
inside our dry ice block what do you think is gonna happen
and three two one that’s a cool like
