what’s up guys we are back in the lab today and this time with a couple of new
today and this time with a couple of new
today and this time with a couple of new toys these are a couple of real-life
toys these are a couple of real-life
toys these are a couple of real-life pokeballs you may have seen floating
pokeballs you may have seen floating
pokeballs you may have seen floating around on the Internet
around on the Internet
around on the Internet I got this one from Denmark them from
I got this one from Denmark them from
I got this one from Denmark them from the what’s inside channel where they cut
the what’s inside channel where they cut
the what’s inside channel where they cut open a metal pokeball so if you want to
open a metal pokeball so if you want to
open a metal pokeball so if you want to see what they look like on the inside go
see what they look like on the inside go
see what they look like on the inside go check them out this one’s from the Devin
check them out this one’s from the Devin
check them out this one’s from the Devin Supertramp channel where they produced a
Supertramp channel where they produced a
Supertramp channel where they produced a video on Pokemon in real life a couple
video on Pokemon in real life a couple
video on Pokemon in real life a couple of good quality videos if you want to
of good quality videos if you want to
of good quality videos if you want to see them go check them out the links are
see them go check them out the links are
see them go check them out the links are in the description these things don’t
in the description these things don’t
in the description these things don’t actually belong to me I do have to give
actually belong to me I do have to give
actually belong to me I do have to give them back but while they’re in my
them back but while they’re in my
them back but while they’re in my possession I thought it’d be fun to cast
possession I thought it’d be fun to cast
possession I thought it’d be fun to cast them in silicone so we can make exact
them in silicone so we can make exact
them in silicone so we can make exact replicas and have our own silicone
replicas and have our own silicone
replicas and have our own silicone pokeball mold for casting whatever we
pokeball mold for casting whatever we
pokeball mold for casting whatever we want
want
want I have explicit instructions to give
I have explicit instructions to give
I have explicit instructions to give this pokeball back in the same condition
this pokeball back in the same condition
this pokeball back in the same condition I received it the funny thing about this
I received it the funny thing about this
I received it the funny thing about this is when Devin lent this to me he asked
is when Devin lent this to me he asked
is when Devin lent this to me he asked me not to scratch it up but to return it
me not to scratch it up but to return it
me not to scratch it up but to return it in the same condition I got it if you
in the same condition I got it if you
in the same condition I got it if you set your pokeball down they fall forward
set your pokeball down they fall forward
set your pokeball down they fall forward so there’s definitely some electronics
so there’s definitely some electronics
so there’s definitely some electronics or something waited inside that makes
or something waited inside that makes
or something waited inside that makes them go facedown I would rather that
them go facedown I would rather that
them go facedown I would rather that these things sit upward-facing at a 45
these things sit upward-facing at a 45
these things sit upward-facing at a 45 degree angle or flat so when we design
degree angle or flat so when we design
degree angle or flat so when we design our molds we’re going to have two
our molds we’re going to have two
our molds we’re going to have two designs they come out a little bit
designs they come out a little bit
designs they come out a little bit better like that I notice on the bottom
better like that I notice on the bottom
better like that I notice on the bottom half here I can wiggle it there’s a
half here I can wiggle it there’s a
half here I can wiggle it there’s a little bit of play so that makes me
little bit of play so that makes me
little bit of play so that makes me believe that there might be a way to
believe that there might be a way to
believe that there might be a way to separate these two halves we gently work
separate these two halves we gently work
separate these two halves we gently work around the edges you can actually see
around the edges you can actually see
around the edges you can actually see that there’s a clasp under there there
that there’s a clasp under there there
that there’s a clasp under there there we go okay cool so our pokeball does
we go okay cool so our pokeball does
we go okay cool so our pokeball does separate into two halves you can see
separate into two halves you can see
separate into two halves you can see it’s actually got three latches to hold
it’s actually got three latches to hold
it’s actually got three latches to hold together and this is why it’s top-heavy
together and this is why it’s top-heavy
together and this is why it’s top-heavy it’s got this really heavy metal button
it’s got this really heavy metal button
it’s got this really heavy metal button near the front and apparently there
near the front and apparently there
near the front and apparently there aren’t any batteries in this so that
aren’t any batteries in this so that
aren’t any batteries in this so that makes a lot of sense as to why it’s not
makes a lot of sense as to why it’s not
makes a lot of sense as to why it’s not working now these button cell batteries
working now these button cell batteries
working now these button cell batteries are 2016 and they should be 2032 for
are 2016 and they should be 2032 for
are 2016 and they should be 2032 for this unit but to compensate for that all
this unit but to compensate for that all
this unit but to compensate for that all we need to do really is just bend these
we need to do really is just bend these
we need to do really is just bend these wires up a little bit so they make
wires up a little bit so they make
wires up a little bit so they make contact let’s tuck the wires in out of
contact let’s tuck the wires in out of
contact let’s tuck the wires in out of the way and put the two halves back
the way and put the two halves back
the way and put the two halves back together and it should click back into
together and it should click back into
together and it should click back into place there we go and now we get a
place there we go and now we get a
place there we go and now we get a little light-up pokeball you’re welcome
little light-up pokeball you’re welcome
little light-up pokeball you’re welcome Devin don’t say I didn’t do anything for
Devin don’t say I didn’t do anything for
Devin don’t say I didn’t do anything for you now these balls are mostly filled
you now these balls are mostly filled
you now these balls are mostly filled with error which means if we put them in
with error which means if we put them in
with error which means if we put them in the container and fill it up with
the container and fill it up with
the container and fill it up with silicone they’re going to float to the
silicone they’re going to float to the
silicone they’re going to float to the top and that’s not going to be good for
top and that’s not going to be good for
top and that’s not going to be good for getting a mold we need to weight them
getting a mold we need to weight them
getting a mold we need to weight them down
[Music]
[Music] there we go I heard a snap awesome just
there we go I heard a snap awesome just
there we go I heard a snap awesome just like that our pokeballs gained some
like that our pokeballs gained some
like that our pokeballs gained some weight so we’re back inside and I packed
weight so we’re back inside and I packed
weight so we’re back inside and I packed these things full of as many rocks as I
these things full of as many rocks as I
these things full of as many rocks as I could get into them which has given them
could get into them which has given them
could get into them which has given them a significant amount of weight that’s
a significant amount of weight that’s
a significant amount of weight that’s gonna be important because we want these
gonna be important because we want these
gonna be important because we want these things to stay down at the bottom of the
things to stay down at the bottom of the
things to stay down at the bottom of the silicon so at this point let’s go ahead
silicon so at this point let’s go ahead
silicon so at this point let’s go ahead and fire up our hot glue gun gather up
and fire up our hot glue gun gather up
and fire up our hot glue gun gather up some acrylic and start mixing some
some acrylic and start mixing some
some acrylic and start mixing some silicones
silicones
silicones [Music]
[Music]
[Music] so check this out I’ve got two black
so check this out I’ve got two black
so check this out I’ve got two black dots on my acrylic and what we’re going
dots on my acrylic and what we’re going
dots on my acrylic and what we’re going to do is glue the base of the pokéballs
to do is glue the base of the pokéballs
to do is glue the base of the pokéballs on there so they angle up at a 45-degree
on there so they angle up at a 45-degree
on there so they angle up at a 45-degree angle then we’re going to take these
angle then we’re going to take these
angle then we’re going to take these five inch acrylic tubes place them over
five inch acrylic tubes place them over
five inch acrylic tubes place them over top of the pokéballs and use a bead of
top of the pokéballs and use a bead of
top of the pokéballs and use a bead of hot glue to secure them in place and
hot glue to secure them in place and
hot glue to secure them in place and make them air tight the only thing left
make them air tight the only thing left
make them air tight the only thing left to do after that is to pour in the
to do after that is to pour in the
to do after that is to pour in the silicone let them set and see if we got
silicone let them set and see if we got
silicone let them set and see if we got ourselves a polka mold now in my last
ourselves a polka mold now in my last
ourselves a polka mold now in my last silicone pouring video I didn’t explain
silicone pouring video I didn’t explain
silicone pouring video I didn’t explain how to mix up the silicone but there are
how to mix up the silicone but there are
how to mix up the silicone but there are basically two steps there’s the white
basically two steps there’s the white
basically two steps there’s the white runny silicone which is really icky and
runny silicone which is really icky and
runny silicone which is really icky and gooey stuff and then you have something
gooey stuff and then you have something
gooey stuff and then you have something called a catalyst which can come in
called a catalyst which can come in
called a catalyst which can come in different colors in my last video we
different colors in my last video we
different colors in my last video we used a red catalyst so in this video I
used a red catalyst so in this video I
used a red catalyst so in this video I thought it’d be fun to use purple and we
thought it’d be fun to use purple and we
thought it’d be fun to use purple and we mix this in on a ratio of 1 to 10 and
mix this in on a ratio of 1 to 10 and
mix this in on a ratio of 1 to 10 and that’s by weight silicone is really
that’s by weight silicone is really
that’s by weight silicone is really sticky stuff to work with so if you do
sticky stuff to work with so if you do
sticky stuff to work with so if you do get any on you it’s a real pain in the
get any on you it’s a real pain in the
get any on you it’s a real pain in the butt so this is why I’m wearing gloves
butt so this is why I’m wearing gloves
butt so this is why I’m wearing gloves so let’s slap a bowl on our scale
so let’s slap a bowl on our scale
so let’s slap a bowl on our scale measure out some silicone and then add
measure out some silicone and then add
measure out some silicone and then add 10 percent of the catalyst and mix it in
10 percent of the catalyst and mix it in
10 percent of the catalyst and mix it in thoroughly 5 pounds 4 ounces 2 grams
Oh 1 pounds equals 2381 point three six
Oh 1 pounds equals 2381 point three six grams answers my question so we want 239
grams answers my question so we want 239
grams answers my question so we want 239 grams of our hardener at this point you
grams of our hardener at this point you
grams of our hardener at this point you can see the consistency kind of looks
can see the consistency kind of looks
can see the consistency kind of looks like blueberry yogurt actually looks
like blueberry yogurt actually looks
like blueberry yogurt actually looks really good really nice and I forgot a
really good really nice and I forgot a
really good really nice and I forgot a cloth so we’re just going to set this on
cloth so we’re just going to set this on
cloth so we’re just going to set this on my workbench I’ll let that harden up
my workbench I’ll let that harden up
my workbench I’ll let that harden up later all right cool it’s time to pour
you can already see on this one trapped
you can already see on this one trapped air bubbles are starting to rise out I’m
air bubbles are starting to rise out I’m
air bubbles are starting to rise out I’m just going to help those along by
just going to help those along by
just going to help those along by getting a little jiggle hopefully those
getting a little jiggle hopefully those
getting a little jiggle hopefully those little doodles will help release any
little doodles will help release any
little doodles will help release any trapped air bubbles because if there’s
trapped air bubbles because if there’s
trapped air bubbles because if there’s anything trapped on the inside that’s
anything trapped on the inside that’s
anything trapped on the inside that’s not going to work out very well for us
not going to work out very well for us
not going to work out very well for us now you can see I made a ridiculous mess
now you can see I made a ridiculous mess
now you can see I made a ridiculous mess pulling this stuff we’ve got leaks
pulling this stuff we’ve got leaks
pulling this stuff we’ve got leaks coming through the sides we’ve got it
coming through the sides we’ve got it
coming through the sides we’ve got it spilling over the top you can see this
spilling over the top you can see this
spilling over the top you can see this puddle where the beaters have been
puddle where the beaters have been
puddle where the beaters have been leaking silicone and right now it’s
leaking silicone and right now it’s
leaking silicone and right now it’s extremely sticky we come back tomorrow
extremely sticky we come back tomorrow
extremely sticky we come back tomorrow when it’s firmed up and rather than
when it’s firmed up and rather than
when it’s firmed up and rather than having a sticky mess that whole thing
having a sticky mess that whole thing
having a sticky mess that whole thing will peel right off and clean up without
will peel right off and clean up without
will peel right off and clean up without any trouble at all
any trouble at all
any trouble at all so our real-life pokeballs are
so our real-life pokeballs are
so our real-life pokeballs are completely encapsulated in silicone
completely encapsulated in silicone
completely encapsulated in silicone right now we really have no way of
right now we really have no way of
right now we really have no way of knowing whether or not they turned out
knowing whether or not they turned out
knowing whether or not they turned out so did we secure them well enough to the
so did we secure them well enough to the
so did we secure them well enough to the base or are they going to float to the
base or are they going to float to the
base or are they going to float to the top you’re going to join me in the next
top you’re going to join me in the next
top you’re going to join me in the next video because tomorrow we cut them open
video because tomorrow we cut them open
video because tomorrow we cut them open rip them apart and take a look at what
rip them apart and take a look at what
rip them apart and take a look at what we’ve got thanks so much for joining me
we’ve got thanks so much for joining me
we’ve got thanks so much for joining me for this experiment I’ll be looking for
for this experiment I’ll be looking for
for this experiment I’ll be looking for you the next one doc you then
