This laser blaster cuts through metal
From NileBlue. Laser technology has kind of gotten out of hand. WARNING: These lasers are absolutely not toys. They’re powerful enough to cause instant blindness if not handled properly. #shorts
Tasting 100% pure alcohol
From NileBlue. When making SuperBeer™ we needed to add 100% pure ethanol to concentrated beer flavor, and before doing that, I just had to see what it tasted like. WARNING: While pure ethanol is safe to consume in small amounts, that could change very quickly if done improperly. Please don’t try this yourself. #shorts
I Made Leather Out of Eggs Because of Dinosaurs
From Reactions. Scientists found collagen preserved in dinosaur bones that are millions of years old, which shouldn’t be possible since peptide bonds have a half-life of around 500 years. So naturally Alex goes on a journey to stabilize collagen herself. With eggs. Like you do.

These metals melt when pushed together
From NileRed. For a while now, I’ve wanted to try mixing gallium and indium metal together by shoving them into each other, where something interesting should happen. More specifically, they form an alloy that’s liquid at room temperature, and when mixed with tin, they form something called Galinstan. Galinstan is a lot like mercury, and…

Testing the purity of gold from dirt
From NileBlue. Ok so we just finished panning for gold using a bunch that Reggie bought off the internet, and by some miracle, we were actually able to get some gold. That being said, I don’t know why, but I’ve always assumed that gold is pure (24k) when found in nature, but that might not…

Finding gold in dirt
From NileBlue. A while ago we tried to use our XRF gun to figure out if there was any gold in pay dirt that Reggie got off the internet. Unfortunately the XRF gun said that there’s little to no gold in the dirt, however in the comments, there were mentions about panning it instead. #shorts
Coke Just Revolutionized Coke
From Reactions. Our last video about Mexican Coke made a bold claim: that Mexican Coke has no (unhydrolyzed) sugar in it.

Infusing apples with different flavors
From NileBlue. A little while ago we were successfully able to make an apple taste like just about anything. However, some of the flavors absorbed into the apples much better than others. So, to give the weaker flavors a better chance, we’ve decided to soak the apples for a full 24h. #shorts
