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…

Making a ridiculously heavy tungsten suit (it broke my body)

From NileBlue. Pre-order the NileRed BZ Reaction Kit – https://inqfactory.com/nilered For a while now, I’ve been wanting to see just how heavy I can get, and in order to do this, we’re going to need a lot of tungsten.

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. Two chemistry professors called us on that claim, so George visited them to run definitive tests on their expensive instruments… and he accidentally discovered that Coke is doing something they haven’t told ANYONE about.…

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

I Used to Think Citric Acid Was Easy

From Reactions. While it looks easy on paper to make citric acid at home, Chem Thug runs into some pitfalls trying to extract it from some citrus fruit and mold broth. Even though we discovered getting it out of lemons more than 200 years ago, it’s still tricky chemistry to pull off. Watch him struggle…
