Today, we’ll do a couple of tests with Proto-Ler.
We have previously shown how to make their own Proto-Leather
as well as several cool experiments you can do with it.
Today we have to make some experiments, as a couple of people have previously asked.
We are going to do 4 different tests today with our Proto-Ler:
We should try to freeze it in liquid nitrogen, we should try to burn it in our furnace,
We will try to create a mold out of our Proto-Ler
and finally, we will try to cast liquid metal in that mold.
The purpose of the video here is to test our Proto-Learning in different ways
to see how it behaves in different circumstances.
We have seen in a previous video how to produce Proto-Ler
but let’s go through the process again.
Here we have the 3 ingredients we use to make Proto-Ler:
Silicone 1 calf ring, fruit color and corn starch.
Let’s start by mixing a few small portions of Proto-Ler
with which we can experiment with cold and heat.
Keep in mind that this has a very strong odor
then prepare your Proto-Leret place with good ventilation.
A little tip for when you work with Proto-Ler:
As long as it’s sticking to your hands, there’s more starch in it.
Outstanding, now I have made my first portion of Proto-Ler.
I now split it into 2 to make 2 different shapes:
One of them I make a ball.
The other half I make for a small flat plank
as we can easily dip into the nitrogen.
Here I mix another small portion of Proto-Ler up
and this I form into 2 flat bars, which we can test in the melting furnace.
Okay, let’s make a small portion of Blue Proto-Ler
Okay, let’s do some blue proto-clay
and make it into a mold with shape like this 3D-printed octopus.
It does not look pretty blue, snare black.
It will start coloring as soon as I start mixing it.
We just make a simple pressure mold, but this is squid.
So I push Proto-Leret down over the 3D figure
so it gets a good even layer of laughs.
Excelent! Now we have a couple of cluttered figures
Let’s see what happens when they are dipped in liquid nitrogen!
As you can see, the clay is very flexible.
It can bend, it can be compressed, it can be twisted, it can be stretched
so now we’ll see if this changes when it’s frozen.
Therefore I want to try 2 things:
First, I’ll let it down in the nitrogen until it’s cold
after which I will pick it up again and let it go up.
Then we will see if it has changed.
After this I would take this Proto-Ler put it back in the liquid nitrogen
Until it’s frozen solid
and then I’ll see if I can break it in 2 pieces.
I also have my little Proto-Ler ball, which seems to be able to jump.
Let’s see if it can still jump after it has been frozen in liquid nitrogen.
See where it boils as it gets warmed up by the clay.
Soon, however, it will cool down again.
Wow! Even that part of the clay ..
Okay?
I did not expect that.
It splashed ..!
because of the cold, and fell completely into the cup.
Part of it was down in the liquid nitrogen, while some of it was rising.
When I carefully tried to touch a little
øhhm .. ran it and broke down.
The piece that was not immersed in the nitrogen fell down there.
Excelent. I now pour the nitrogen into another mug
so I can get the pieces of Proto-Leret out.
That was strange. It sounds like a kettle or ceramic.
Listen once.
Okay. Let’s pour them out sometime.
Oh boy!
Our Proto-Clay is ..
just broken completely.
Well, I do not follow the order
but when I have an extra piece, I will try to break it.
Yup. No resistance at all.
It is very fragile.
It almost feels like breaking a piece of school crest.
Very well. We let the pieces get up again
to see what happens.
I am looking forward to finding out if they become as flexible and flexible as before.
Right now they are obviously not quite flexible
and breaks without the slightest touch.
They just go spontaneously in pieces of just cold, which I did not expect.
While we wait, we can put the ball down in the nitrogen
and see what happens to it.
My guess is that it will also shatter.
The bubbles get smaller, so the Proto-clay is cooling down.
Hmm. Wonder if the ball cracks or not.
It’s a pretty cool effect. The nitrogen vapor just flows just over the edge of the mug
because after running down the sides as if they were stuck.
One can see that the vapors go inward along the slope of the iceberg.
Okay, I do not think it gets colder.
I heard one little message but nothing else
let’s pour the nitrogen out and get the ball out.
Lets see what happens.
Oh!
It ran into my hand
just as it came out of the nitrogen.
I wondered if it was because of the heat from my hand or from the air
or if it was just the point of splashing, whether it was because I was moving it.
Well .. I was going to test its jump ability.
Now I think I want to see if it will splint. Let’s try.
It actually jumped. It just did not jump like a jumping ball.
Nothing. It is not splintered properly
Small pieces just fall because it’s already cracked
when it was down in the nitrogen.
Let’s make it up and see what happens.
It looks like almost little wings.
They will be rubbery, but that’s not the case.
Our first piece of Proto-Ler is now completely thawed.
Let’s check the consistency, and if it’s still as flexible as before.
It’s really easy to tear over.
It’s not nearly as strong as before.
It feels weird.
So you can tear it over and it has a white skin
on the outside that holds it all together.
The inside of it breaks very easily
but there is something on the outside.
It’s pretty strong.
Okay, let’s try with one of the larger pieces. See what happens if we break it.
Uh, there are cracks.
Throughout. Wondering about it also happened because of the cold
which I overlook.
Yes it is .. wow ..
Before I could twist it and ..
stretch it and grind it together. But now..!
Now it just falls apart! Weird.
Wow. This one goes even easier, see you once!
Okay, it broke it right into 2 ..
Outstanding, these pieces are thawed up again
Let’s see if they’re still jumping. After all, they are not round anymore
so they probably do not jump up and down, but let’s see if they’re still jumping at least.
They are then jumping roughly.
Maybe a bit like losing an eraser.
It’s not like throwing a jumping ball, but they’re jumping.
Now our octopus is ready! Let’s freeze it and see what it’s like.
Like this.
Uhh, it looks promising.
Look here! It does not look crazy at all.
You can even see the details of the 3D print.
It seems to work just fine as a material for a mold.
You get all the details if you press the clay
all the way down and get all the little hooks with.
If you have some molding plastics, I think this silicone will work fine.
However, never use Proto-Ler as a cooking method.
There are a lot of chemicals in Proto-Ler that can make the food poisonous.
Soon we turn on the melting furnace, so we can try to cast aluminum into the mold here.
We also have 2 other pieces of Proto-Ler, which we throw in the melting furnace
and see what happens. Maybe they burn, maybe melt.
Ok, our furnace heats up and starts to melt some aluminum.
In the meantime, we try to dip this piece into the heat to see what happens.
Before we warm it up, it’s nice and flexible as the other clay was.
Let’s see what happens when it’s done.
Maybe it just burns. Who knows.
Oh, right away.
At the same time the edge breaks into flames.
It all starts to bubble.
It looks a bit like a burned foam trap.
Simply. It certainly burns.
Just drink this fire tornato.
It smells jerky. It smells a bit of fruit-like, like a burnt pie
It must be the acetic acid from the silicone.
Interesting!
Although it has been burnt thoroughly, it is still quite flexible.
So the clay keeps a lot more of its properties when you burn it than when you freeze it.
It’s a little sticky, so maybe it actually started to melt when it burned.
Let’s see if I can tear it over.
Yes, it can easily be torn over, so it has become less powerful.
There you can only see. Inside it is still red in the thicker areas.
Such. The aluminum is now hot.
I want to pull it up and pour the liquid aluminum into our Proto-Ler mold.
Oooog it burns.
And now it flows beyond.
And it still burns.
The mold burns.
It is still fluid, so I keep a good distance to it.
In case it starts bubbling and splashing.
Hoof. I breathed the flame out, but the heat ignited it again.
We have poured liquid aluminim into our mold
after which it quickly ignites.
So I do not think Proto-Ler is a good material for a mold
for liquid metals.
In fact, we have molded a little bit
of the head of the octopus there.
It did not get even, the tentacles are missing and the shape is burned.
However, a bit of the head was cast here.
There were boys, 4 different trials with Proto-Ler.
We have tried to freeze it in liquid nitrogen,
burn it in a furnace, make a mold out of it and cast liquid metal in it.
It gave a little mixed results.
When we froze it in nitrogen, I thought it would first freeze, dull up again after being normal again.
It cracked and broken completely by itself.
And when it was throbbing again, it was very fragile and did not hang well together.
When we burned it went as I expected.
It started to roll, bubble and burn. It smelled bad and ignited.
And after all, it does not matter.
Good enough it was still flexible, but it is also rubbery, black, smells more strange than before.
I do not recommend burning it. It does not matter.
Making a mold out of Proto-Ler worked well.
We caught a lot of the details on our 3D print inkjet
and we had a shape that would have worked fine for different types of plastic.
But. Pouring liquid aluminum into it did not work quite well.
Proto-clay just ignited and the casting was not very good.
I can not recommend to cast metal in Proto-Ler.
We have learned a lot about Proto-Ler today.
If you have made some fun of Proto-Ler, please let me know about it in the comments box.
I would love to know what you’ve found.
Thank you for looking past today. See you in the next video.
Talk to you later!

[Slash again!]
It looks like a long bar of cinnamon chewing gum.
[Slask]
Oooog it’s everywhere now.
[Slask]
Hello boys! I hope you have a great day. You are too wild and I appreciate you.
And I know everyone here on the team is grateful for YOU watching.
Thank you very much for seeing and supporting our videos.
