in today’s video we’re gonna see what
happens if we use extreme cold and a
low-pressure environment to suck all of
[Applause]
guys we have some Orbeez leftover and
not just this little bag of Orbeez but
not too long ago we made our diamond
play button sculpture by pouring molten
aluminum that used to be our diamond
play button into Orbeez and we still
have most of those Orbeez we have tens
of thousands of Orbeez I think here and
well a few of them are burned from being
in contact with our molten aluminum for
the most part they’re still intact
they’re still Orbeez and we wanted to
see what happens if you freeze dry an or
B as we’ve explained in a couple of
other videos a freeze dryer works by
lowering the temperature and freezing
whatever is in the machine and then it
pulls a vacuum and then it warms up a
little bit and as it warms up all that
frozen liquid in there it gets turned
into a vapor it sublimates like dry ice
turning into a vapor but we’re doing
with water it does that at low
temperatures and very low pressures and
so it just sort of sucks all of the
water out of something without it ever
getting wet so we’ve got a lot of Orbeez
like we have so many Orbeez and we want
to see what happens if we take all of
the moisture out of an Orbeez just the
entire or beulah of Orbeez yes yes a few
of the big ones didn’t really survive
like a big piece of jell-o but we’re
still gonna try and throw those in there
to just see what happens we’re gonna
throw them in here we’re gonna add some
cameras some lights and we’re gonna see
what happens to Orbeez as you suck all
the moisture out of them my hope is that
they actually freeze together during the
freezing process and then maybe break
apart afterwards but I really want like
a block of freeze-dried Orbeez so we’ve
got a tray we’ve got some containers I
think we can fill these containers with
Orbeez and then we can also just fill
the tray around the container with even
more Orbeez let’s fill things up
[Music]
so again we had a few of these that like
got a little bit melted and you can kind
of see the residue of a plastic bucket
when we poured molten aluminum into a
bucket of Orbeez we lost some of it to
the the plastic and so we I’m gonna try
it and filter these out just cuz I don’t
know what that’s gonna do and I want
this to just be pure Orbeez let’s add
that’s a lot of warranty that’s a lot of
Orbeez and two GoPros saying the name of
our cameras actually turn them off they
have voice activation features which is
useful until you forget and say the name
and they both turn off on yourself
yeah cameras the name of which we will
not say are you drive here we go all
right so that’s the nine hours and while
that’s going make some more yeah why not
I’m all right better to have too many
[Music]
our bees are finished the freeze dryer
has completed its cycle it took a long
time we let this thing run for about two
days which is longer than a lot of
things need but or bees have a lot of
water in them it’s cool watching the
time-lapse of these just growing as well
and Kalle found a special one okay guys
for some reason we had a bunch of Orbeez
that were Prince Rupert’s drop shape but
I somebody may have accidentally broken
this one it’s a really just a tadpole
shape but it’s pretty cool sometimes
they just grow tails I wonder if it’s
more likely when you make larger batch
not necessarily because there’s more but
growing with this many together we’ve
probably got like ten thousand in this
jar and so three out of ten thousand
let’s open up our freeze dryer and see
okay that’s awesome those change I have
a plate of Fruity Pebbles now it’s just
like styrofoam yeah it sounds like
little styrofoam pebbles okay this is
cool this is one of the larger ones um
the color has like seeps to certain
parts but the rest of its just almost
like clear foam some parts of them the
water did not fully get vacuumed out
because somebody may have put a lot of
for these in there yeah definitely got
most of it out but it looks like we’re
it was thicker blobs together alright so
the stuff on the tray that we got really
dry this stuff in the bowls Oh
interesting it’s still that’s like well
it’s cold but it’s not frozen and the
big piles of it got very well insulated
so you can definitely see that there’s a
difference all of this stuff that’s on
the tray
this was an or B and now it’s just this
little plastic thing and I can just
smush it into dust or bees dust so
fluffy and light the new kind of war
he’s hired just look at this one so a
lot of these the color is like seeping
out that what is perfectly coal ball
okay new plan hmm pretty solid did
anything break off of that pieces feel
like I’ll be like broke at all though
here you go you try which are a solid
block of ice
you weakened that ice magnet against the
counter
that’s ice right in the middle that’s
just solid ice but the other like
squished together
Orbeez ice and like I think ice has
actually filled in all of the gaps
between where the Orbeez were gelatin
ice well we’ve also got a jar of warm
water here so this is pretty nice and
warm and warm water usually activates
Orbeez faster so I want to see what
happens if we start putting these
dehydrated bits into the water so let’s
start with this is one still mostly
frozen but not completely freeze-dried
or be
[Music]
Wow I was only a couple of minutes after
gelatinous I don’t think it’s all the
way through
no but it’s it’s still almost an or B
now the interesting thing is is how many
air bubbles are gonna know about the
size of the normal or B even if it is a
little misshapen though but it’s just
chock full of air bubbles there’s some
more like that one maybe we should put
in one of these whole chunks I want this
one
it’s just a cool shape goodbye friend
Oh pieces are just falling off of it but
the color is not really staying anymore
the biggest piece we got yeah so that
was one of the larger pieces of a larger
or B cup size of golf ball
now it’s foam see what that does
I don’t think this is gonna hold
together so I’m just gonna control it
yep and now it’s it’s back to Orbeez
texture but now it’s just like it’s
still like a normal or V and crushed it
up yeah pretty much comparison even
pretty similar yours is more crushed up
but but the texture is very very so much
so that’s a regular beat this was a
freeze-dried and reconstituted or B
how’s our brick doing Oh gross but that
underneath is it cool
no the thawed portions just scrape right
off leave the frozen parts together
someone should make popsicles that look
like that oh my gosh shut up and take my
money shut up and take my money so these
are ones that have dried out completely
and now I’m gonna throw those into some
warm water see what happens – are they
dissolving some of them had so little
cohesion he had his little little bits
floating down to the bottom
[Music]
as the really open ones absorbed water
you can see how they’re sort of turning
into or B shape but because they were
missing so much material they kind of
shred it as they freeze-dried that we’re
now getting like these frozen instead of
a sphere it’s just like a tissue e
substance this is basically just like
pre-shredded is hardly holding itself
this is awesome this was a solid chunk
earlier I was like squishing and
flattening out pieces and now you can
see that some of them have actually
started to like bubble up and go back to
their normal shape but stayed in a
kind of an interesting texture with
normal Orbeez like you can feel the
individual shape of each marble but
because of the way these have broken up
it’s just more of like a spa but there’s
one other thing I want to try is the
Orbeez now appear to all be fill of
bubbles and most of the time if you
throw Orbeez into a vacuum chamber they
don’t really do anything try it it
nothing happens but because these are
now full of bubbles I want to try it
with them so I’m just gonna pour off the
extra water and then slap the vacuum
onto our jar here
oh yeah those uh those expands turn that
off pressure back in see it decompress I
think I actually sucked a lot of water
out of those as well I’m gonna see if I
[Music]
[Music]
guys that’s not all we’ve always got
more for you to see that box up at the
top will take you to our latest video in
that box to the bottom is what YouTube
thinks you should be watching next hit
that bomb in the middle to subscribe so
you never miss out on the fun don’t
forget to ring that Bell and we’ll see in the next one talk to you them
happens if we use extreme cold and a
