hey guys I’m Nate welcome back to the
king of random today we’re going to be
trying out something a little bit
different in that this whole video is
going to be one take we’re going to show
you an experiment from start to finish
without cutting the camera to several
different angles we wanted to try this
because it gives you a better sense of
what it’s like to really do an
experiment in real time unfortunately
that does mean that when I garbled my
words our trip over something we’re
gonna leave that video footage in
hopefully there won’t be too much of
that not too long ago we had a video
where we showed you taking lithium
batteries and lighting them on fire they
kind of exploded and then burned with a
really bright magenta flame and it
looked really cool a few people
commented pointing out that we should
try taking that same lithium and
dropping it into some water that’s what
we’re gonna try today because lithium
should react with water and hopefully
we’ll get that same bright pink flame
now as a first test I have a strip of
lithium that I’ve already taken out of a
battery and I’m just gonna try lighting
it on fire with a blowtorch check out
our setup we’ve got here we’re gonna
take one battery will show you taking
the lithium out of that one we’ve got
these three batteries which are already
partially open but not completely and
we’ll be removing the lithium from those
I have here some lithium that I’ve
already taken out of one of the
batteries and now we’re gonna try
lighting that on fire with a blowtorch
and see if we can get that pink flame
we’re looking for let’s come over to a
slightly drier spot I don’t want to put
it down on the water because as this
experiment may indicate it should react
with water here’s a dry spot get the
blowtorch working glasses on
Wow
there we have it a fairly exciting and
almost violent reaction that may have
even put a little divot in the concrete
pad that’s pretty exciting so now let’s
look at how we get that lithium I have
here a an ultimate lithium battery and
you have to have the ultimate lithium
kind or it’s something else entirely
different inside so let’s take a look at
opening one of these up it’s just a
piece of plastic sheeting around the
outside I’m using our wire cutters to
undo the crimped metal holding the top
of this battery on there we go this
little top piece pops right off
now we kind of need to peel this
kind of like we’re opening a
weird-shaped tiny little metal pan
[Music]
now we can see what’s inside of our
lithium battery here it’s a roll of some
plastic a couple kinds of metal and some
chemicals but different parts of metal
or attach to the positive and negative
ends of the battery let’s see if we can
pull this whole roll out not really sure
what the best way to do this is open up
the casing a little more still this is
the part we usually just edit right out
of the videos because it’s not very
exciting to watch but as I said the
point is to really see what it’s like to
do an experiment in real time sometimes
it’s not super smooth there we go
so now we have a tab that’s part of what
connects the metal strips inside to the
housing we can set down my tools here
now we can start to unroll this and just
trying to make sure my hands are dry so
I don’t start setting anything off as I
unroll it we’ve got two strips in here
this one back here is our lithium and
I’m not 100% sure what this one is
honestly but it smells kind of like
rotten eggs so it might have sulfur on
it or something all right now the whole
video is going to be one take until
after I’ve said my finished closing bit
and then we’re going to show you some
other slow-mo behind-the-scenes footage
kind of so our cameraman is going to get
those cameras started now and then I’m
going to drop this lithium strip into
our bowl of water alright here goes
lithium in a bowl of water boom
pink flame and orange flame and lots of
smoke beautiful that reacted so quickly
– ooh and then it popped Wow I think
that actually started melting the glass
on my bowl holy cow check this out like
there is a rough patch here and I it it
could just be something built up on the
surface but I’m pretty sure that started
etching down into the glass that’s crazy
well I’ve got some other batteries
already torn open
oh that broke the glass
well that’s exciting that’s not even the
part where oh there we go it started
over here where it had heated it up and
then it just cracked all the way along
here and opened that up down there well
that’s the kind of thing that would
usually be thrown into random happens at
the end of the video
well the bowls already broken but I’ve
still got a couple of batteries probably
don’t want to let those get wet
actually let’s uh try tossing one of
those in see what happens this could be
stupid to me well it’s in the bowl it’s
gonna try and unwrap one more and throw
it into what’s left of my bowl most of
my bowl is gone but it’s still holding
some water
[Music]
there it is
[Music]
there’s the edge gloves are all wet so
I’m a little nervous about touching this
all right there’s our lithium bundling
it up you don’t wanna start those
cameras again or should I just throw it
in all right I’m just gonna throw it in
here we go and it ignites again whoo
there’s a bright little burning ball of
metal in the water
very cool well our battery that I just
threw in there seems to be corroding a
little bit but it doesn’t look like it’s
actually going to go very far it is
wrapped up in other pieces of metal and
in some paper and whatever the other
chemicals are in there but there’s a
chunk of our reactive lithium you know
are still very much broken and ruined
bolt these things happen
bowls aren’t too expensive for you but
there you go
lithium torn out of a lithium battery
stripped of its other wrappings and
whatever else is around it crumpled up a
little bit and then drop into water it
ignites beautifully it has that super
bright pink and orange glow to it it’s
really cool it’s a very fun color and
overall this is a pretty fun and easy
experiment and you can see exactly how
long it took you know it’s not that easy
to open the batteries that was the
biggest delay is watching you slowly
peel back the metal shell of the battery
not exciting I know but hopefully we
made up for it by showing you how it’s
saying how exciting it is to drop our
lithium right into water that really
burst into flames very entertaining Lee
and obviously gets really hot hot enough
that it melted the side of the bowl
which thing cracked and is now worthless
next it’s run away but it’s a cool
experiment and I’m glad that some people
commented in the other video that we
should try this out and it way it was
fun it’s really fun to do I’m not saying
that you should do this at home but if
you do do at home you know try to be
very careful very well ventilated area a
little too much ventilation today
honestly wearing gloves is wearing long
sleeves as wearing glasses just be
extremely careful if you do anything
like this thank you for joining us for
this video today remember to come gear
yourself up with products and merch at
the king of random column see you there
less crumpled-up let’s see if it still
lights on fire hmm not so much this
random happens it’s a different cut I
know
