three-two-one oh dear hey guys I’m Nate
welcome back to the backyard today we’ve
got a fun experiment that we’re going to
try thanks to the suggestion of youtube
user robert VIP Ehrman Robert wanted to
know what would happen if we mixed
molten salt with you to the liquid
nitrogen or dry ice well today is not
the day for the liquid nitrogen test but
it is the day to see what happens if we
pour molten salt onto dry ice well we’ve
got our foundry we’ve got our salt and
we’ve got some dry ice
let’s try mixing them together now as a
first step what we want to try and do is
clean out our crucible all of the
crucibles we’ve got currently have a
residue from other projects in them this
one seems to have quite a bit of
aluminum built up on the sides so we’re
gonna try and chip out what we can then
fire up the foundry and see if we can
melt out the rest and shake it out so we
have on mostly clean crucible to melt
our salt in we do want a small reservoir
in our dry ice to pour the salt into so
it doesn’t just scatter all over the
place so let’s take our drill bit and
try and carve a hole down into the ice
just a little bit

Alex toasty
see how well molten salt pours out of a
crucible
[Music]
huh well it’s cooled down it certainly
bubbled a good amount but it didn’t
react horrendously violently at all at
least not yet I guess it’s still
possible to get there but even the salt
that’s just on our pavers has cooled
down to being solid just like our salt
inside our dry ice has as well let’s see
if we can tip that out there you go a
nice solid chunk of salt right there
I think the salt and our crucible is
still liquid try pouring a little bit
more in skimming some of this aluminum
off the top just melting more aluminum
goes
[Music]
oh I certainly wouldn’t want to get that
on me but it’s nowhere near the violent
kind of reaction that we’ve seen in
other people’s channels where they pour
salt into water that is still squishy it
definitely hasn’t cooled down all the
way
very hot also very hot still both very
hot
all right now I know this is probably
filled with aluminum and some other
trace metals but I’m gonna lick it
[Music]
surprise of all surprises it’s salty
alright now this is finally cold sounds
a little less cold but it’s also a
little bit thicker and it was poured
second so that makes sense now I’m gonna
try and break a piece off of this dry
ice we’re gonna see what happens if we
drop this dry ice into some molten salt
I know three two one
bubbling bubbling bubbling kind of not
even a lot just a little bit of bubbling
[Music]
the dry ice is disappearing a little bit
faster than if you just left it out not
a lot o one of our pucks broke in half
it’s kind of cool it’s got a like a very
smooth outside but you can see that the
crystalline structure has begun to form
on the inside as a cool ball let’s hit
this with a hammer exploded
now it’s rock salt we’ve got two more
experiments that we want to try and
we’ve moved to the dome just in case
things get out of hand which I don’t
think will be a problem but better safe
than sorry
so let’s melt up some more salt and then
try our next experiment
[Music]
because I’m not really sure how this is
going to react when it’s going down into
the crucible I have a plan for how to
dip it in there and keep myself a little
ways away I’ll take the dry ice and
secure it in a pair of tongs and then
I’m gonna use this extended grabber
thing to hold the tongs away from myself
and I’ll dip that down into the crucible
I don’t really think it’s going to
explode because neither the dry ice nor
the salt will vaporize rapidly the same
way normal ice would but it is possible
that some salt will cool down around the
dry ice for Michelle and then the
expanding dry ice will cause that to
break open so I do want to stay a little
bit away and that’s why I’m not just
gonna be dipping this directly down into
the salt
[Music]
ready
well it’s certainly bubbling well quite
a bit more of a reaction that I thought
we would get actually it’s spilling all
over our container
starting to slow down there it is
[Music]
now just floating on the top of the salt
[Music]
my tongs have become salted together it
was just so much salt that built up on
the tips it was in contact with the dry
ice so I think it just made it cool down
it’s like a salt weld that was pretty
fun we got a lot more bubbling action
than I really thought the last thing we
want to try is to take our salt and then
pour it on to a container full of broken
up dry ice so it’s not just pouring it
onto one flat piece of dry ice that has
a whole board into it in this case
there’s just going to be lots of pieces
and it’s just going to flow all over all
of it
[Music]
[Music]
all right
[Music]
all right here we go I’ll take the
crucible I’m just gonna pour it all over
that dry ice this could be exciting
ready three two one hmm I think I
expected a little bit more of a reaction
when that poured on the salt poured all
over chunks of dry ice didn’t react a
whole lot we got much more of a reaction
when we put it into the solid piece of
dry ice I found a whole board down into
it we got a lot of bubbling and popping
and it did stay in that chunk and rice
ended up casting that puck that was
pretty neat
molten salt versus dry ice the molten
salt didn’t react terribly violently but
it did bubble and splashed quite a bit
and it’s just interesting to see salt as
a liquid it pours very smoothly it’s a
pretty runny thin liquid – like it
doesn’t turn into a consistency like
syrup or anything like that
it’s almost as thin as water it seems
overall this is pretty fun thank you to
Robert for your suggestion of what we
should do check your youtube inbox we’re
gonna be sending you 25 bucks
hey guys thanks for watching if you’re
not a subscriber yet just hit the bomb
to get in the club if you missed our
last video or want to see it again click
up here at the top click down there if
you want to see what the internet thinks
that you should watch next that’s it for
now have fun be safe and see you
tomorrow
