Mad Science: MELTING Metal with Sunlight


Boys look at that which is absurt.
How are my friends?
Welcome back
Today we are off
The sun is shining hard and there’s not a cloud in the sky
The sun is burning fiercely, so I grabbed my solar torch …
because there was a reaction to use it
I used the reaction Christi because they wondered if you could melt metal with the giant magnifying glass
We are now going to try because there is no better time than today.
The metal melting experiment I took three different metals to work with
The first is: tin.
Video with Collins Key
we melted the tin to fidget spinners
I also Aluminum “muffins” that have been acquired by melting cans
as well, we use a “muffin” of copper. that we made by melting ball sleeves.
the melting point of the metal is very different
tin has a melting point of 250 degrees Celsius.
the aluminum melt around 660 degrees Celsius
and the copper melts at around the 900/950 degrees Celsius
I did this and Celsius say to my international fans. (thanks)
I started to fidget pewter spinner I made with Collin
that we keep direct sunlight and we’ll see how long it takes before it is melted
if at all
Some of you will recognize sun burn
This is a lens that came with a huge TV, and acts as a large magnifying glass
which ensures that the light is combined in a strong laser beam
if we spray a little water on
then we can see where the focus is
The separate is that I can keep 2cm from my finger without feeling anything
but if something comes in then burn it directly
because the focus is about 1100 degrees Celsius
what is called should be enough to melt metal, how crazy is that
Okay, now we know exactly where the focus is
Let’s take one of our metal, let’s start with tin.
and let’s keep it quiet in focus
OK, our focus is right there
if I had to spray you can see it
The below is thick and very thin here
and the thin piece we want to put our metal.
Watch your eyes, because this is going to be bright
I try to focus more searching again
I can see a piece of melting metal there
if you look at the bottom you can see melting
This I must keep focused
oh, wow dribbled just a piece of metal on the ground
guys, look at this. This is crazy. by keeping it just in sunlight is melting.
with
OK, this would seem to melt with sunlight without any problem
I think all my Tin spinners suit
and they all going to melt into the muffin pan
OK guys, I have just a shelf placed on the solar burner
I’ve done the spinners in the tray
and when I put it on the shelf, it should sit exactly in focus
this way I can keep them stable in one place
so the sun can work completely
without that I’m shaking in focus
we will see
solar power, do your job
this seems to be the perfect focal point
in a few seconds you can already see that it begins to melt tin
metal melts with sunlight
and fast too
you have to see, it just trickles away
like it’s nothing
and this is only solar energy
You can see the bath of molten metal at the bottom
it goes so fast that I want to add a piece of tin
I’m going to add this piece of tin
This we have not melted ton I was with Collin
therefore we have a full “muffin”
as the sun melts it then we are talking about the same strength as me Burner
you can see exactly where the sun hits
and it immediately begins to melt
We are now metal melting in the sun
so cool
I have to point it in the fire for maximum heat
but keep all the liquid metal
it is on the ground still molten tin
It works
in fact, now I have the whole thing in’ve thrown it melts like an ice cube melting it
Everywhere I go the sun sham
can I decide where it begins to melt
it is almost completely melted
this little thing called
Yes, it is completely melted
it is completely liquid
I get the “skin” off
and then I let it cool
molten tin, the sun!
I now ask myself
How would react to aluminum sunlight
a small update, I’m confused by the results
I had hoped that sunlight would melt aluminum
but we have been here for the past 20 minutes
and repeatedly changed the focus, but still nothing happened
I’m sure this muffin is hot now
but it is still not rendered any form and I do not know how long it will take
but the tin hardens
and we can turn around and beat out the tray
but happens with the aluminum
there is nothing
and if we can not melt aluminum, we can not melt copper
it is hard enough to melt the
it is only the amount that we want to melt
we now have a lot of tin
but there is a point in the middle where it is now very hot
but nothing else happens
so it does not rise fast enough, and if nothing aluminum melt copper is already not melt
I’m sure this thing is very hot
you like to listen what makes it sound like I have to throw water
was extremely
it seemed even so that possible was about to melt
and perhaps it would be to melt after 10-15 minutes
but it is in any case not convenient in order to melt metal
Let’s look at the tin
the interest of the tin is that it has all of these bubbles at the bottom
I wonder where that came from away
the bubbles are completely around
it is not really smooth on top
it looks like craters on the moon
the solar burner will be hot enough to melt tin
it is almost hot enough to melt aluminum
and it is not hot enough to melt copper in large quantities
but can melt a shell casing
let’s try the last project
OK, be careful that I do not with my head in the focus bowl
that would be crucial
where is the focus? here just about
my brains me now for kidding or is it started smoking
that’s a good sign, it’s already changing color
I’m going to play with the focus
it seems like it should be here
it creates a white layer on the outside
there is probably a reaction site to find
it is probably very hot but I see no smoke or anything
I think it is great when it melts
look it is so hot that the wood is burning
it is, in any case, is called
it leaves behind branding on the wood
but it is still melting
I must be honest guys, I had expected that this sleeve
would melt
I think it is not going to melt because the sun is too far below
We should have done this sooner
but it is certainly so hot that if you put it on wood burned wood
it is still very hot, even though we were not melted
and I think that’s good to know, because you do not always have perfect circumstances
a brief summary of what we tried today
We went to see sunlight or metal could melt, we used three types of metal
copper, tin and aluminum
What we found today was special, tin melted immediately
when we tried the aluminum muffin we put it
for 15 minutes in the sun, while there were no visible differences
it was hot enough to boil until it went even evaporate the water
but it is not melted
whether or not would melt after a time, who would say
The reason we did not melted muffin
is not the temperature, but the amount of
and if aluminum would not work
copper would certainly not melting, but we did try a sleeve
and under some circumstances, it must be succeeded
it worked for me smelen screws, so I wondered why we would give no copper sleeve
Anyway, it’s good to see that it does not always work
the place of the sun, the season and the temperature
are things that influence whether or not working
it is possible to metals such as tin, gallium, and probably also
but metals such as
aluminum, copper and gold, I do not think it will work
but it was still fun to try
and we have learned something new today
