Most people I asked predicted the wrong winner here. Go check out the new CrunchLabs Roblox game where you can build rockets with your friends and learn stuff! www.roblox.com/BuildaRocket
Mark trying to embrace his inner Marvin HeeMeyer and almost getting stopped by a 1/2 inch steel plate is seriously the funniest thing to me a tradesman. The known battle between guys on the tools and the engineers lives on and Id say this was a victory for the toolies.
Im so happy nile red has now been recognised by a larger youtuber and getting to collab with mark. A guy who likes physics vs a guy who loves chemistry
honestly if it wasn't for the filming at Crunch Labs I would have guessed this was William Osman's second channel content. Surprised he didn't bring his own excavator.
The damage done also depends greatly on the lava you use. Silicate lava (the melted "lava rock") is generally the coolest ranging from 800C-900C. Whereas Ultramafic lava can be almost twice as hot, ranging from 1600C-2000C (hot enough to melt steel and vaporize a lot of materials). In addition fluoroantimonic acid, Carborane acid, or Magic acid would be much more effective.
Easily one of the best collabs I've seen on this channel. The Science Boys™ are a total force of chaos and watching them collaborate with Mark (and his outrageous budget per video lol) was AMAZING. More collabs with these folks, please! (Also William Osman as the "unexpected" referee was hilarious and fantastic)
I love how mark genuinely loves to work with all these other RU-vidrs without any kind of competitive attitude towards anyone and supporting everyone while doing so
you should also get styropyro on it. hes pretty scary with electricity stuff and hes also a chemist. i think hed be amazing to bring on to show people the crazy things he does! i really love these dudes becoming more well known. but yes, please bring styropyro on, you could even have him and nilered compete in chemistry!
"For today's 'make a dessert challenge', Kevin is baking a pie with the power of refracted sunlight, Nile is chemically leavening, and using exothermic reactions to bake a cake, and I think Will is trying to... scream... a s'more into melting?" *cut to the finale of the video, the camera focused on a vacuum chamber with speakers inside* "so we didn't expect that to work as well as it did"
Love how Mark came rolling in like he’s whistling diesel <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="843">14:03</a> and then the likeness intensifies <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="980">16:20</a>
William showing up uninvited is just so ... William, its perfect. This was one of your best videos Mark. I love the glitter bombs and other pranks, those are goated, but as a big fan of engineering/science YT this held a special place in my heart seeing all my favorite creators that I already watch collab together. Fantastic stuff guys
The problem with the «lava» is that for any thing that contains moisture it will gain a heat shield, in the form of vapor. The vapor becomes isolation. And with the amount of liquid in that is in meat, it gets a lot of shielding compared to the time it takes for the «lava» to cool. This is the reason that when we blacksmiths harden steel, we have to keep the material moving, as to have constant contact with the liquid, and not just get the the heat shield preventing hardening from happening.
@@niazjaffar7022I mean it's sorta hard to get large amounts of super acids? Plus having to film most of these in a plastic box wouldn't be interesting to watch. Also they dissolve metals even slower than normal acids so it wouldn't have helped. HCl is actually the best at dissolving metals out of any acid alone and even more so when mixed with nitric acid so I believe he did the option with the best possibility of working. I will say for the I pad he should have actually used a weaker acid like Hydrofluoricixed with hcl to dissolve the glass and the metal.
The interesting thing about cars is that even though they run around 200°, they are also really susceptible to heat damage. Most cars walk a fine line between the oil not getting warm and overheating
I love how Nile and Kevin are just doing what they are interested in. Nile is interested in the chemical parts, while Kevin is interested in the more "natural" parts. I loved this video. Keep up the great work, Mark!
This video was so friggin' funny, from Mark missing the diamond on the first swing, pushing toys around rather than crushing them to a powder, Nigel chucking a brick at the beaker, the rulings from the ref, just hilarious. And then Mark comes blasting in like the Duke boys and complains that Kevin parked too close 🤣 What a witty group of people, love it!
I love these colabs. Mark’s excited, and yet somehow soothingly calm, educational energy mixed with the absolute ADHD chaos that is Nile Green, Backdoor Scientist and Big Willie is absolute gold! Moar pleeeeeeez!
What a thrill ride this video has been, Mark! The breakdown of the experiments was fascinating and your humor really added to the experience. A very innovative and exciting way of presenting science! Looking forward to the next showdown at CrunchLabs. 👌🚀🔬
I honestly expected the diamond to go crunch. Guess I underestimated how soft steel is. Plus, it being point-down instead of table-down helped it out in that regard.
@@kennyholmes5196 it would have helped if the anvil was propperly hardened as well. Hardness in steel is calculated by how deep a diamond is forced into steel when subjected to pressure/force. And with how far the diamond went into the anvil, it dosent seem like it was hardened at all.
Mark clearly made his choices for entertainment purposes. I just won't accept the fact that he actually thought he would smash the diamond on an anvil, dude just literally performed the most brute force hardness test 😂
It's not unreasonable to think it could've broken, in fact that was probably near the limit of how much stress a diamond can take before shattering. Just because something is extremely hard does not make it unbreakable
If anyone was wondering, a 1.2 carat diamond would be around $350 if it was lab grown, or about $1,300 if natural - perhaps cheaper but that's a reasonable retail value.
Two videos in a few days. What a treat! Thank you to Mark and to the whole entire team. I'm sure there are a lot of people who help make these happen. Happy Thanksgiving!
Mark: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="737">12:17</a> “This is the closest thing to a lightsaber I have ever experienced” Hacksmith Industries: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="744">12:24</a> That's true power. I know a metal artist, sculpture that uses this tool with his works. His workshop is like from another world. I never stood close to it because I'm only a keyboard hero, but while watching him in his work process, I've learnt to appreciate and to understand how power can be used to create beauty.
Regarding the diamond and Marks method... that's exactly the reason why us material testers use diamond indenters of specific geometries in different hardness testing methods :)
Technically Nigel was the winner, since he gets to keep a working car. The acid might've damaged the engine, but just by washing it with water, it shouldn't be beyond repair.
I'm a little surprised Mark explained the science behind corrosion, but not the Leidenfrost Effect, which is the reason why the lava was so ineffective against the turkey leg and ice.
@@vvmvx basically, two things with enough of a temperature difference makes a barrier between them. It's why something like liquid nitrogen drops can slide across a floor, but also why some really hot things like molten metals don't instantly react with water or ice (lava is molten rock, but close enough)
@@DarkFrozenDepths The cold substance specifically needs to evaporate rapidly for that to happen. Not just random 2 things with different temperatures. You can mix liquid tin and liquid iron without any problem, despite easily 2'000 °C difference in temperature.
And tonight on top gear... Hammond destroys a Honda with lava... James destroys a Honda with acid... and I destroy a Honda with an excavator "POWAAARRR"
The funniest part about the diamond is if he had simply flipped it over and hit it on the culet (the point) it would’ve probably cracked or shattered or at least chipped. Diamonds are strong, but very brittle and some of them don’t actually have a perfect point at the bottom because of it, the culet is slightly flat to make them stronger.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="818">13:38</a> Everyone makes this mistake. Don't hit it with the point on the Anvil. Diamonds are Hard. They are not Tough. Put the flat side on the anvil and hammer the point. That diamond will shatter.
Nile Red usually spends half a year or more (usually) planning, researching, and testing multiple iterations give Nile Red this time he would crush everyone.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="823">13:43</a> dude perfect did the same thing with a diamond. It caused a dent in the anvil, but the diamond did break. Only after more hits from the hammer as it is strong, but not impact resistant.
