Thumbs up for Primrose! :D That movie legit gave me nightmares as a kid haha. I wanted to upload this in 4k but RU-vid is having problems with it :/ oh well. I got some new materials for my foundry that should let it get even hotter, let me know if you want me to try more LAVA!!
I’m a bit of an expert at mixing lava and water. Here’s a tip: if you add lava directly to a water source, you get obsidian. If you pour lava near the water so it pours over the top, the water turns to stone, but if it’s flowing water instead of a water source, it’ll turn into cobblestone.
Most objects would need to be hotter than 5500°c or 9932°f to emit UV rays. That’s typically the radiation peak of visible light. (Of course its different given the compound that’s being heated)
I was hoping to find this comment. Though I always thought it was 10,000 degrees or more. Regardless, it’s not a heat source we’d run into any day. It’s basically the surface of the sun. Of course the sun itself is millions of degrees hotter.
@@julievanderleest not to ruin your thought. but actually, the surface of the sun is 6000 degrees hotter. but yeah the CORE of the sun is 15 million degrees celcius.
Your lava has to be at least 3000 °C hot so that a small amount of the rays emmitted are in the UV spectrum. At 6700 °C (5700°C is typical for the suns surface) your radiation peak is at the border between the visible light and UV.
Indeed, especially if you're a from the Philippines. There are about a hundred, and about 23 of them are active. A year ago the Taal volcano erupted forcing lots of people to flee.
I have the exact opposite, I am extremely interested in volcanoes Could be because I’ve never seen one irl combined with me being Dutch and having no worries about natural disasters
if you were at the other end of the pool i wonder if it would be very hot, its boiling the water around it so i wonder how far and how fast that heat would reach across the whole pool
I'm not an expert in any regard, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't make the opposite end of the pool crazy hot or anything because of the high specific heat of water. It's the same reason why the ocean temp doesn't change as much between seasons as the air and land.
I legit made a comment of: TheBackyardScientist has made the [Achievement] Hot Stuff ... TheBackyardScient has made the [Acheivement) Ice Dunk Tank Challenge ... The BackyardScientist has made the [Achievement] We Need To Go Deeper - Then I found this comment.
wow... the coe of that sodium glass plate actually held up a lot better than I imagined... when you hit the plate in the center the entire plate started expanding like crazy... The edge of the glass plate was still cold, which was actually acting like a retention band around the plate - which was expanding from the center. When you over lapped the lava on to the edge of the plate in to get it on the aluminum, the glass was able to expand enough on one side of the plate, breaking the cool ring, and that caused it to shatter, which is why it blew outward the way it did. (If you did that on purpose for camera effect - BRAVO!) If you bring the glass plate up to about 800-1100 degrees first and then place the lava on there, the glass will have a much better chance to hold it. (Also if you use a borosilicate glass)
flowing lava/lava source + (on top) water source: stone (from water) flowing lava/lava source + (on top/side/under) flowing water: cobblestone (from either) flowing water + (on top/side) lava source: obsidian (from lava) water source + (on top/side) lava source: obsidian (from lava) this should have made stone
8:33 I like how he almost eats it. Feels like I can hear his thought, like "Dude would be so cool to try this chicken grilled on lava... Nah, too gross, maybe another time" But another time never happens in reality and I think he forgot about it anyways
My welder gives amazing UV burns to my legs when I wear shorts. But I guess that is from the arc. I wonder why I didn't seem to get UV burn from a plasma cutter which is much much hotter. I do however get a lot more splatter burns with plasma
