A red hot nickel ball on sand did not create a layer of glass as hoped, but I was able to melt some sand into glass with my HHO torch. SUBSCRIBE- shorturl.at/adk02 FACEBOOK- shorturl.at/ilrH2
That is what I like about this guy Even though the video was made to see what the ball would do to it, he satisfied our curiosity like he knew we would want him to, and used the torch on the sand :P
And no strip tease bs where people show what you want to see from the thumbnail but don’t show the full clip and make you look through a 20 min vid for 20 seconds of content
I have always wanted to say that, but I didn't want to sound like a creepy homeless guy who is looking through your window and loves how you snore at night.
I love how the guy is all like "YEAH! This is going to be awesome! The ball is going to turn the sand into glass!" And when it doesn't work he's all like "You know what fuck it I'll make the glass myself" XD
+\Enthusiasm/ And every fucking time i'm waiting this moment of silence because the sound of the blowtorch is just the most fucking annoying thing ever for some reasons
Sand to glass takes very high temp - but you could lower the temp needed by adding something - like CaO (lime) and Na2O to the sand. It works a bit like a "flux". So a mix 80% sand 10% CaO and 10% Na2O - you would get a different result!
I always thought about taking or not me but if he took his RHNB and dropped it into a girls butthole. Like when you watch porn and the chick has her anus fully engorged and he just takes his claps and drops it dead center in her rectum. I wonder what would happen.
I remember reading that heating sand does indeed create glass, but the glass it creates is unstable and soluble in water, which means it would melt if it got wet, and that they need to add in a few other things to make the glass stable enough to be useful.
I think you need to mix the sand soda to get it to melt into something like soda glass, don't you? Sand was used as cores for casting cast iron pipes for over a century (or is it centuries even?); melting quartz is difficult.
A kind of glass can be made from pure sand alone. You're thinking of window glass, where other things are added to the silica to reduce its melting point and increase its workability. (This "pure" glass will be quite brittle)
Most sand has a majority quartz content, which will melt and turn glassy at around 2,315 degrees C. The melting point of nickel is 1,455 degrees C.. Since it's glowing and still solid, the RHNB is probably around 1000 degrees, which isn't half what you'd need to make glass.
The melting point of pure nickel is 2651° F, and the melting point of glass is around 1500° F, I assume that's not pure nickel however, so it may have a higher or lower melting point. And as that's just sand, and sand is small rocks and pebbles along with some other things, AND since the nickel ball isn't actually melting, just red hot, I imagine it's probably not hot enough to make glass just by putting the ball in sand.
just so you know sand is used commercially to cool down tapered glass, they use and sand that is so fine its like water , to turn it in to glass you need something as hot as acetaline with no oxygen .
A home made fulgerite! The same sorta deal happens when lightning strikes the ground. If you dig it up, it's a long glass stone sort of thing. Cool stuff!
On a bar of Ivory soap that will be really cool. If you put Ivory soap in the microwave it makes a weird fluffy cloud. Maybe the RHNB will do the same.
the sand keeps moving and isn't going to be at a constant temp. if the grains keep jumping all over the place like that...it just takes longer to make the glass.
