Melting Gallium with a Flashlight 

try putting a lens infront of the 32000 lumen flashlight to focus the light into a fine point and try melting a hole through gallium figures

Focus the flashlight with a mini solar scorcher and compare it to the actual sun!

Try combining the flashlight with the solar magnifier

Stormtrooper: You melted the droid I was looking for! Nate: I'll melt you too sucka!

Since gallium melts at 85.5 degrees Fahrenheit, you could melt it in your bare hand.

Make Nordic gold. It is 89% Copper, 1% tin, 5% zinc and 5% aluminium.

Start of the video: let's melt gallium with a flashlight! Halfway through the video: let's let Nate screw around!

The torch was so bright that it hurt my eyes through the video lol

It is nigh to impossible to significantly heat a shiny piece of metal with the light output from an ordinary flashlight. This is true for multiple reasons. 1) Even at 32,000 lumens, the total radiant output of the flashlight is only 47 watts (One lumen = 1/683 watts of visible light power). 2) Most of the beam was not hitting the lego figure (less than 10%). 3) Virtually all of the photons were reflected. Below is the explanation. In a shiny metal, photons (light) interact with both 1) the valance electrons of the metal lattice and 2) the electrons in the conduction band. Some of the photons impacting the metal surface are absorbed by the electrons in the conduction band. At visible light frequencies, conduction band electrons collide with the lattice electrons at a rate faster than the frequency of the visible light photons. This (conduction band electron-valence band electron interaction frequency > visible light frequency) works to prevent the absorbed energy in the conductive band from being passed on to the valence electrons in the metal lattice. Because the waves do not penetrate deeply not many of the conduction electrons see the incoming wave and not that much overall energy is absorbed. Most of the energy is reflected by the first few layers of metal atoms in the lattice with a spectrum that depends on the scattering properties of these particular metals atoms. In your experiment, the gallium was close to the light, and as the flashlight grew hot, some of the air near the flashlight was heated as well (through simple conduction). This air, heated by conduction, passed some of that heat on to the lego figure, again by conduction. Thus, it was primarily conduction and not radiant heat that melted the figure. So yes, the flashlight did melt the gallium figure, but through its by-product of heat. The photons (light) did not play a significant role. A simple way to confirm the above would be to find the isothermal zones around the flashlight, while it is on. A thermal camera or a quick-read thermometer can do this easily. Then, place two figures in the same isothermal region - one directly in the beam the light and one outside of the beam of light. Simple observation would detect whether the energy from the photons has any meaningful effect. Thanks. Always glad to see your videos come out.

Make them of REAL metal. I mean make working iron Legos 😍

Idea List _______________ 1.Gallium Paper 2. Paint with gallium 3. Gallium in a heated hydraulic press 4. Try to make diamonds with a hydraulic press and a blowtorch

Pour molten metal in water I hope this is the next video!

Can you try making a DIY energy maker. Like a Solar panel or Wind turbine

Mr beast: melting metal with 1000 flash lights.

2:52 lets see how he takes the *YEET*

Seems a bit OP plz nerf

it started off as melting metal with a flashlight. Five minutes later... Nate: Let's melt it with a blow torch!

Maybe try with a high power laser? Since the heat is focused, you might test if you are able to melt a hole straight through. Alien death ray?

7:14 when darth Vader gets angry

U know those tomes when u wake up at 2 am and ur eyes burn when u turn on the light, imagine waking up at the same time with someone flashing that light at ur face

Could you try flying a small drone in the vacuum chamber

The King of Random meets The Action Lab.

They just all watching each other melt into liquid that they once were

6:53 that face it made me die laughing 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

7:24 Archimedes did that with is death ray in greece 2200 years ago

Paint galium with blackest black and flash it with most powerful flashlight.

What happens to snow in a vacuum chamber?

Can you put Elephant toothpaste inside a vacuum chamber

What are these death screams

High powered flashlight + Solar Scorcher = ???

You guys never disappoint! Even though the flashlight didn't work too well, you guys still melted stuffs!!!!!! Made me happy.

*Stormtrooper commander:* _listen up, troops! If any one of you don't watch your heads with these doors, you'll be the troop at __7:16_

If you put the galium figur on glass or something like that and heat it from the bottom would you get a better result with it melting or not?

What happens if you combine this flashlight with the solar scorcher?

6:49 The most funniest face Nate made

PLEASE KEEP USING THE RETEO INTRO! Maybe not all the time but like, once a week maybe, that's be great

*Try and make an alloy with gallium and other metals!*

PLEASE put a coconut in a vacuum chamber! like if you want them to do this!

Could you plzzzzz try popping popcorn with the flashlight???

Make a baked potato with the flashlight. In fact, how about trying a number of different cooking experiments with it. Simplest, boil water. Then fry an egg sunny side up. Scramble an egg. Fry bacon. Fry a pork chop. Fry T-bone steak. Toast some regular sandwich bread. Toast Texas toast (you know, since it's like two or three times the thickness of regular sandwich bread will it take longer to fully toast). Toast an English muffin. Toast a bagel. Fry a porterhouse steak. Fry a hamburger. Cook a hot dog. Make pancakes. And the ultimate, roast a turkey. Test to see which of these it CAN actually accomplish and how long it takes it.

You killed the CHOSEN ONE!!!

How does Gallium act in a vacuum chamber?

Dear TKOR, please put gallium in the vacuum chamber, I wonder if it will fill in the lego bricks completely.

I have a suggestion, maybe use the flashlight on something that glows in the dark and see how bright it glows!

Blend ooblek and see what happens to the blender that would be a sick video :D

Lightsaber on a budget

love the small Q&As at the end

I think the T-1000 shed a tear for these guys.

I heard that gallium reacts with aluminium, can you try mixing them?

Use the giant flashlight with your giant magnifying glass

Mix potassium promanginate with glycerin like in the survival fire video, except also mix it with potassium nitrate.💥💥💥💥

6:50 I'm literally dying! 😂😂😂

try putting a magnifying glass aginst the flashlight and see if you can make it hotter like that

Light can excite the particles in some substances. However I think the most heat was produced from excess energy that wasn't converted into light.

"what is the most you've ever been hurt on the show?" * rolls up sleeves *

The Lego men falling forward on their face makes me think that they're thinking "I give up on life"

5:02 woah!! It's the indestructible pan from pubg!

Love the 80s intro

Melt gummies bears vs snakes vs sharks ; 'Bright light vs torch vs foundry vs microwave '.I believe that outdoor dome blocked off from wind, these burning may smell don't want that in home.

Me:what would a tiny flashlight do- ** burns eyes** *YEEEEETTTTT*

Lol

Why that intro looks like its from 1990.

Is it possible to melt a gallium Lego person with the world's strongest laser pointer??? Would love to see this as an experiment

*If you want a deathray flashlight there is only ONE option and its HID flashlight, and what could be better than the most famous flashlight of them all -- Maxa Beam -- shown in X-files, Jurassic park and many others. You can afford it now. It produces all wavelengths pretty much like the sun, not the fake heat from the resistance of the LED.*

3:10 why is every youtuber using that song

You should melt metal with a laser pointer

Now this is true satisfaction and satisfying video

Do magnets work inside a vacuum chamber?????? PLEASE do this!

use a laser to melt gallum

Should have made black 2.0 color(absorbes almost all light) Lego with a white background (which reflects all the light)

Experiment for the summer. Can you cook an egg on a pan in a dome made of vantablack material (a super dark material that absorbs 99.6% of light) with out aid of extra reflectors or magnifiers. I am curious how hot it would get on a clear summer day and if it would be enough to cook an egg.

Try and see if you can cook a hot dog with the flashlight.

You should put Mercury on aluminum and enjoy the results 😁

can you melt aluminum with this and a couple of focusing lenses

Can you paint on gallium and does it affect its melting point.

All I can think of while I’m watching this is help me I’m melting

Shine this flashlight through the lens on the solar scorcher. I wanna see what happens

I though it was a black light at first

Nate, you should try replacing the lens of that flashlight with a convex lens, then you can possibly melt the metal with the flashlight. You could also find out if it would work like a portable Solar Scorcher! -Puzzle-

Try focusing the light from the flashlight through either some convex lenses or bounce it around with a concave mirror - I bet you could do some really cool Schlieren Imaging with something that powerful.

Humans Against Violence on Lego Men would have a problem with this video. 🤔😜

Use that flashlight to melt the metal while it's in the vaccum.

d=1:06 TKOR logo=2:05 $=3:36

How about trying to roast a marshmallow with the flashlight? Or just melt the inside of it. Maybe you could see what brand of marshmallow cooks faster/better.

Liquid nitrogin VS 32000 lumen flashlight

Moths must be in love with you

Use that flashlight at night and try to find how far the visible light beam goes.

I think it would be so cool if you were to make some more Lego dudes and put them in a frying pan on a gas stove and melt them it would look so cool

I just translated this video to Spanish :) Hopefully it was worth it, cause it took a long time

Use a high powered laser & Solar Scorcher to melt gallium figures!

the nitro crush was beautiful best shatter of an object frozen then crushed I've ever seen way to go goes to prove ur blessed and doing things wright

Try casting gallium into paintballs. Try them regular, frozen, and maybe using some sort of heating system for the loader and barrel to try and shooting soft paintballs that splatter somewhat on impact.

Put gallium in the foundry

Try passing the light through a magnifying glass

Is it wrong that while he was “melting” the LEGO figures, I imagined how painful it must be. Especially - what I’m guessing is - the nitrogen one. And soonly after getting smashed. I just watched that like; “Oooooohhh, thaaat would huuuurt...” “Mmmmmhmhmmm.” “This is - somewhat- uncomfortable to watch.”

Try this experiment again but shine the flashlight through a series of magnifying glasses to see if it would melt the gallium with better results

That alot damage -Phil Swift

MAKE SODIUM LASSIGN AND REACT IT WITH POTASSIUM CYANIDE

HEY TKOR! YOU SHOULD MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IF WE CAN RECEIVE CALLS IN A VACUUM CHAMBER!

What if you cast a gallium spaceship (maybe paint it?), dip it in liquid nitrogen and stick a small firecracker inside of the ship then blow it up in front of a space background. And finally play the footage in slow-mo so it looks like a huge ship exploding in space.
