Pouring Molten Aluminum from 50 feet! What will happen? 

The company I used to work for gave me the same safety training you got, for the huge boom lifts we had to use. None.

I can feel the American army taking notes

He is worried about 'safety but never blinks at one handed handling of a pot of boiling aluminum while wearing shorts - the part that is actually dangerous.

You should come to Australia and collab with the boys from How Ridiculous and drop the molten aluminium off their 40 meter high tower,, would be good to see

9:50 The amount of times you replayed that clip is annoying but hilarious

"I always wondered" lol I love how your mind works.

“I am not one to care about safety so I am not going to” quote of the year.

0:23 me after work every day 0:55 how we know you're from FL

0:17 Me: Hey if you want high, ask How Ridiculous

6:58 Ants: The last war has come upon us! Stay strong! Hold!

I love your videos man. Layout and all. I may be 27 and with pretty severe depression but your attitude and style definitely helps me be happy and calm. You've helped me. And for that I truly appreciate you man. 💚🔥💨

Mmmm molten metal🤤🤤🤤

You definitely needed to be much higher for the first test without the strainer. One drawback to living in Florida, it's flat. LOL

“This is really high!!!” How ridiculous: “that’s cute”

Cool Video! This reminded me of the Coop’s Shot Tower I saw in Melbourne, Australia, where lead bullets were made by dropping molten lead from a tall tower (50 meters - 164 feet) into pools of water that would flash form them into their spherical shape. Keep up the great work! Cheers form Italy!

"I need to get high" "I'm already too high" "i know it doesnt look like I'm that high" great soundboard clips 😂

2:01 now this feels like information that the people that watch this type of channel should not be allowed to know

Lead shot is made in the same way but dropped from 140 to 225 ft inside a tower, the lead shot is collected in a water bath to keep it spherical. So maybe if you used a smaller diameter sieve and 3 of the lifts taped on top of each other, it would work

0:56 😂🤣😂 Love the authenticity!

Time for the Backyard Scientist to grab Mark Rober and head down under to How Ridiculous! 50 meter tower molten aluminum drop?

"I need to get high!" -Florida Man ( 0:23 )

This is like all my phobias in a 10 minute video

All I can say is you're freakin' crazy. To put it more eloquently, a true maverick. In all the best ways. Thanks for another awesome video

"I need to get high!" I got you fam. Just tell me how high.

For the aluminum/water explosion, increasing the conductivity of the water by saturating it with salt should help that. The explosive reaction between reactive metals and water is called a Coulomb Explosion, and has more to do with electric charge than most people are aware of. Another option is to add a bit of hydrochloric acid to the water, which will help eat through the oxide layer. If you want to get really nuts, using a lot of iron chloride in the salt solution will result in a much more violent version of the thermite reaction (chlorides instead of oxides in the reactants/products).

Love the falling camera following the drops down. Very clever. Great job.

9:04 YESSS 😂😂😂.That shot i love it

A "safety noose" 😂😂 dude I'm rolling

Wait till youtube reccomends this 5yrs later.

Finally a new video!!!! Love seeing your videos!

I live around 5 miles from you, and it's always fun trying to find where you film certain things since I'm familiar with the area! This field has me stumped so far, though! Haha

One of these days, he’s gonna burn his face off with all this molten aluminum stuff and his gravestone is gonna read “died by reenacting the end of Terminator”

Come to Australia and drop some molten aluminium from the How Ridiculous tower in Perth, Im sure the How Ridiculous boys will look after you

Ah gotta love a good ol Backyard Science video 😎 glad to see you're still alive and not in a federal pen 😁

Awesome vid as always thanks for making and posting 😂👍

1:58 this is dangerous information and should be classified lmao

4:43 My Teachers Mic on Zoom meeting's.

Safety noose that cracked me up 🤣

I wonder if aluminium would ever pull together into a spherical or raindrop shape while falling, the same way that lead does in a shot tower. It seems to me like maybe the oxide layer that forms on the molten aluminium prevents surface tension from pulling it together into a sphere.

If you could somehow get in touch with the guys over at 'How Ridiculous' I bet they would let you use their 45m (147ft) tower.

If you need to drop things off high stuff I recommend contacting the HowRidiculous lads, they're essentially experts at this point and they have access to a bigass tower.

I always forget about what channels I'm subbed to, then when they pop up again it's always a video to remind me why I subbed.

That is the cutest little boom lift I've ever seen

This was a great episode. And that shot following the molten aluminum to the ground was epic. Hope this style video keeps coming

01:45 The LPL would have picked the lock in the time it took you to say "I think I forgot the key"

6:22 the reason why water droplets are the shape they are is surface tension from hydrogen bonding and the fact that the water isn't changing state. The aluminium however has a cooling outer layer while also decent metallic bonding. Much like a volcano throwing out lava into the air. Looks just the same

this is such a cool video, I wish more people would see it

" i need to get high" followed by "so some how i swindled..."

It’s cute that you thought it was going into the tank so soon lmao.

I have had a bad day, this genuinely made me laugh

I'm wondering if it would make a difference if you pour the molten aluminium directly into a pipe/tube with Argon gas, so the aluminium can't make the oxide layer before hitting the water. And the aluminium would have a little more resistance on the way down, so you might be able to get a different shape, perhaps somting more resembling a droplet?

0:23 wait a minute

5:10 is almost like something out of a HowToBasic video

This has been one of my favourite backyard scientist videos. I like to think of you safety third team as the real life RU-vid equivalent of MCU Avengers. I wonder which one Kevin would be?

Jeez, you have changed since the last time I have watched you, nice job

when its 4/20: 0:23

10:15 shattersfying

1:17 I'm gonna take a gander and say it goes 50 ft up

You never disappoint man.

This seems like something The Modern Rouge would love to help with, especially with the tower they do tests off of

The chaotic energy that the Backyard Scientist brings to his videos is just...supreme entertainment. Really top tier.

"oh my gosh the grass is on fire" good times, yo

Great and interesting as always. Shame a lot of those brick chimneys are demolished. Maybe a disused thermal one.

Backyard Scientist, thank you so much for your content, I have a daughter and she really likes science and stuff, so I'm watching a lot of your videos and me and her are learning so much, thank you dude! Keep up the great content, hope my daughter will become a great scientist! ;)

You say you need guys with a really tall building you can drop stuff off... Collab with the guys from How Ridiculous when?

"I'm not one to normally care about safety...so I'm not going to"....bro had me busting out laughing in the middle of my office. LOL

Heavy equipment rental Agency:what do you need it for? I did a thing:.....I need to get high Heavy equipment rental: we can help with that.

The amount of cuts from the block of aluminum missing is just a wow

2:22 “I hate this. I’m not even afraid of heights” Not afraid of heights? 🤣

“A safety noose” that made my day

Research shot drops. It's how they used to make lead shot back in the day. Tall silo looking buildings that were tall enough for the lead shot to solidify by the time they hit the ground.

If you want to get the aluminum to explode when it hits the water, try adding sodium or potassium hydroxide, since that can dissolve the oxide and allow the aluminum to react. You'll know when it's basic enough when the cold aluminum reacts with it.

"I need to get high" -Florida man, 2021

Yay, Florida Man the Science Guy is back!

Backyard scientist out of context: “I need to get high”

Jfc!! 4:04 scared the living sh1t out of me! 😂

Hey, here is an idea for you. Look around for buildings that have been condemned, and ask if you can use the lift shaft instead of dropping it outside. No wind to blow the droplets about and you wouldnt even need to worry about being up too high, you wouldnt see it... unless you look straight down the lift shaft

I really liked the freefall cam. Such an unusual perspective.

Aww, he's acrophobic. I feel ya there.

It looked as is hundreds of sardines were being escape-artists when you first put the aluminum through the strainer. Haha.

"I need to get HIGH" XD

safety-noose....i cant stop laughing🤣

this man is insane

*cough* shot tower *cough* edit: yay you got there in the end :)

Lol, "I need to get high"

This is a great idea for How Ridiculous!

Just arrived to your channel after watchin that Oobleck of the show Street Science.

The How Ridiculous people have a forty five meter tower...you should try to do a collaboration with them!!!

Did he really make them move the pool and tanks instead of adjusting his position?

"I regret shaking the platform immediately" 🤣

2:30 am binge-watching backyard scientist vids instead of doing assignments. To the best of my knowledge forcing liquid Al through a similar set up of smalls to make tiny microdroplets ( then cooling by falling into a fine mist of water) is a production method for AlO

this is a simulation of me and my toilet after taco tuesday at the gas station

7:24 *It sprays like my Cat.*

Bruh I started dying when he said safety noose 🤣

i always wanted to rent one of those lifts for the 4th of july. seems like a great way to watch fireworks.

Could you suspend drops in a vertical wind tunnel? just need the wind speed at terminal velocity

Hey that's pretty coooool

*“Safety noose”* 😂

0:23 me when I get home from work
