months ago and I realized that fidget

months ago and I realized that fidget spinners were a thing I reached out to a

spinners were a thing I reached out to a

spinners were a thing I reached out to a few different companies to get some

few different companies to get some

few different companies to get some prototype samples and Brandon king of

prototype samples and Brandon king of

random style the problem is not all fidget spinners are created equal and I

fidget spinners are created equal and I

fidget spinners are created equal and I went through bucket loads of samples

went through bucket loads of samples

went through bucket loads of samples trying to find some that I liked and

trying to find some that I liked and

trying to find some that I liked and after months of going back and forth

after months of going back and forth

after months of going back and forth these are the only two that I settled on

these are the only two that I settled on

these are the only two that I settled on because they’re both made of metal and I

because they’re both made of metal and I

because they’re both made of metal and I like the way they look I also noticed

like the way they look I also noticed

like the way they look I also noticed the spinners that only have two sides

the spinners that only have two sides

the spinners that only have two sides seem to wobble when you turn them back

seem to wobble when you turn them back

seem to wobble when you turn them back and forth which is no good and a lot of

and forth which is no good and a lot of

and forth which is no good and a lot of spinners seem to have problems with

spinners seem to have problems with

spinners seem to have problems with their bearings they just don’t work the

their bearings they just don’t work the

their bearings they just don’t work the way they should so I finally got a

way they should so I finally got a

way they should so I finally got a product here that I’m proud of and ready

spinners not sure how long they’ll be

spinners not sure how long they’ll be here because the purpose of this video

here because the purpose of this video

here because the purpose of this video really is to take all the extra samples

really is to take all the extra samples

really is to take all the extra samples fire up the metal foundry and see what

fire up the metal foundry and see what

fire up the metal foundry and see what happens when we melt them all together

happens when we melt them all together

happens when we melt them all together now for this experiment I’m going back

now for this experiment I’m going back

now for this experiment I’m going back to the backyard metal foundry we made

to the backyard metal foundry we made

to the backyard metal foundry we made with the kayo wool and I’ve got various

with the kayo wool and I’ve got various

with the kayo wool and I’ve got various sized crucibles here and I don’t think

sized crucibles here and I don’t think

sized crucibles here and I don’t think we’re going to need this huge one so I’m

we’re going to need this huge one so I’m

we’re going to need this huge one so I’m just going to use this middle sized one

just going to use this middle sized one

just going to use this middle sized one here you remember how this works we’re

here you remember how this works we’re

here you remember how this works we’re going to just stick a couple of gas jets

going to just stick a couple of gas jets

going to just stick a couple of gas jets in from the side

oh that is awesome now looking at these

oh that is awesome now looking at these spinners most of them seem to be made of

spinners most of them seem to be made of

spinners most of them seem to be made of aluminum some of them are made of brass

aluminum some of them are made of brass

aluminum some of them are made of brass but in either case I’m going to using

but in either case I’m going to using

but in either case I’m going to using this Rocha way as a flux it’s just 100%

this Rocha way as a flux it’s just 100%

this Rocha way as a flux it’s just 100% boric acid that’s going to help the

boric acid that’s going to help the

boric acid that’s going to help the metal melt down a little bit quicker and

metal melt down a little bit quicker and

metal melt down a little bit quicker and keep it a little bit cleaner all right

keep it a little bit cleaner all right

keep it a little bit cleaner all right our foundry has heated up and it’s ready

our foundry has heated up and it’s ready

our foundry has heated up and it’s ready for melting I think I’m going to start

for melting I think I’m going to start

for melting I think I’m going to start the melting off with this spinner here I

the melting off with this spinner here I

the melting off with this spinner here I call this my ninja spinner because it

that because I’ve shaved down the side

that because I’ve shaved down the side here and I think the whole thing is

here and I think the whole thing is

here and I think the whole thing is aluminum except for the steel bearings

aluminum except for the steel bearings

aluminum except for the steel bearings on the inside let’s go ahead and top it

on the inside let’s go ahead and top it

on the inside let’s go ahead and top it in

that’s holding up pretty good so far

that’s holding up pretty good so far look at the tip of the spinner right

look at the tip of the spinner right

look at the tip of the spinner right here you can see that starting to melt

oh it’s gone look at that midget spinner

oh it’s gone look at that midget spinner has just become a blob of molten metal

has just become a blob of molten metal

has just become a blob of molten metal so the first ones taken down here comes

so the first ones taken down here comes

so the first ones taken down here comes fidget spinner number 203 one

oh ouch oh my god

oh ouch oh my god I just exploded all over my face I think

I just exploded all over my face I think

I just exploded all over my face I think the battery and those LEDs just exploded

there we go see Roach killer to the

there we go see Roach killer to the rescue and that’s what our flux does is

rescue and that’s what our flux does is

rescue and that’s what our flux does is it helps prevent the oxygen from getting

it helps prevent the oxygen from getting

it helps prevent the oxygen from getting down there and bring out the zinc so who

down there and bring out the zinc so who

[Applause] clean crystal is a happy crucible

quick update guys we made the poor it

quick update guys we made the poor it was successful and we ended up with five

was successful and we ended up with five

was successful and we ended up with five digit spinner ingot now we’re just going

digit spinner ingot now we’re just going

digit spinner ingot now we’re just going to let those cool down for a minute then

to let those cool down for a minute then

to let those cool down for a minute then knock them out of the tray and quench

knock them out of the tray and quench

knock them out of the tray and quench them in water and then set the most

them in water and then set the most

them in water and then set the most shelf where we can use them for some

shelf where we can use them for some

shelf where we can use them for some future project they look perfect alright

future project they look perfect alright

future project they look perfect alright I’m going to flip this thing over give

I’m going to flip this thing over give

I’m going to flip this thing over give it a little bang on the ground oh that’s

it a little bang on the ground oh that’s

it a little bang on the ground oh that’s what I was afraid of they’re actually so

what I was afraid of they’re actually so

what I was afraid of they’re actually so hot that they’re melding with the steel

hot that they’re melding with the steel

hot that they’re melding with the steel in the muffin tray which means they’re

in the muffin tray which means they’re

in the muffin tray which means they’re going to be really difficult to get out

and we did it oh you can see some of the

and we did it oh you can see some of the crystal structure left over on the

crystal structure left over on the

crystal structure left over on the inside that looks really cool

[Music]

[Music] so we successfully did it guys we took

so we successfully did it guys we took

so we successfully did it guys we took all of our rejected samples and melted

all of our rejected samples and melted

all of our rejected samples and melted them down together and this is the alloy

them down together and this is the alloy

them down together and this is the alloy that we’ve created it’s some kind of

that we’ve created it’s some kind of

that we’ve created it’s some kind of aluminum brass alloy I’m not sure what

aluminum brass alloy I’m not sure what

aluminum brass alloy I’m not sure what ratios but it does look very brittle

ratios but it does look very brittle

ratios but it does look very brittle similar to the stuff that we tried in

similar to the stuff that we tried in

similar to the stuff that we tried in the previous experiment now what I’m

the previous experiment now what I’m

the previous experiment now what I’m actually going to end up doing with

actually going to end up doing with these I have no idea though probably

these I have no idea though probably

these I have no idea though probably just sit on the shelf until I can think

just sit on the shelf until I can think

just sit on the shelf until I can think of some purpose for them and future

of some purpose for them and future

of some purpose for them and future experiment but apparently that’s what
