Proto-Putty in Liquid Nitrogen & Other Crazy Tests!


Welcome back friends! My name is Nate, and thanks for watching with!
Today we make a few tests with the Proto-Clay.
We have previously shown how to create their own Proto-Clay
and several cool experiments, YOU can do with it.
Today we make some experiments that a few people previously have demanded.
Today we have to create 4 different tests on our Proto-Clay:
We should try to freeze it in liquid nitrogen, we should try to burn it in our smelter,
we will try to create a mold out of our Proto-Clay
and finally, we will try to cast molten metal into the mold.
The purpose of the video here is that test our Proto-Clay in different ways
to see how it behaves under different conditions.
We have in a previous video seen how to make Proto-Clay
but let’s just go through the process again.
Here we have the three ingredients we use to manufacture Proto-Clay:
Silicone caulking 1, food coloring and corn starch.
Let us, to begin with, mixing a few small portions Proto-Clay
with which we can experiment with cold and heat.
Recall that this has a very strong smell
so made your Proto-clay, well ventilated area.
A little tip for when working with Proto-Clay:
As long as the stick to your hands, it takes more mejsstivelse in.
Good, now I made my first batch Proto-Clay.
I share is now up to 2 to make two different characters:
The one I make a ball.
The other half I make a little flat plank
we can easily dip into the nitrogen.
Here I mix another small portion Proto-up Clay
and this forms I to two flat bars, which we can test in the furnace.
Okay, let’s make a small portion of blue Proto-Clay
Okay, let’s do some blue Proto-Clay
and turn it into a mold having the shape as here 3D-printed octopus.
It does not look quite blue out, snare black.
It will begin to take color as soon as I start to mix it.
We’re doing just a simple press-mold, but this squid.
I press all Proto-clay over 3D figure
so it gets a good smooth layer of clay.
Excelent! Now we are a few hardened clay figures
let’s see what happens when dipped in liquid nitrogen!
As you can see, the clay is very flexible.
It can be bent, it can be compressed, it can be twisted, it can be stretched
so now we see this change when it is frozen.
Therefore I will try two things:
First I leave it down for nitrogen, for it is good cold
then I will take it up again and let it thaw.
Then we will see if it has changed.
After this I would take this Proto-Clay put it back in the liquid nitrogen
Until it is frozen solid
and then I will see if I can break it into 2 pieces.
I also have my little Proto-clay ball that seems to jump.
Let’s see if it can still jump after it has been frozen in liquid nitrogen.
See how it boils as it heats up the clay.
Soon however, it will cool down again.
Wow! Even the part of the clay ..
Okay?
I had not expected.
It splintered ..!
because of the cold, and completely fell into the cup.
A part of it was down in the liquid nitrogen, while some of the stack up.
When I gently tried to touch around a bit
øhhm .. jumped it and broke.
The piece that was not mired in nitrogen fell down.
Excelent. I’m leaning now nitrogen into another mug
so I can get pieces of Proto-clay out.
It was strange. It sounds like tile or ceramic.
Listen again.
Okay. Let us pour them out sometime.
Oh boy!
Our Proto-Clay is ..
just gone completely to pieces.
Well, I do not follow the order
but now that I have an extra piece, I will try to crack it.
Yup. No resistance head.
It is very fragile.
It almost feels like to crack a piece whitening.
Very well. We let the pieces here thaw again
to see what happens.
I am looking to find out whether they are as versatile and flexible as before.
Right now they’re obviously not very flexible
and break without the slightest touch.
They go just spontaneously break of just cold, which I had not expected.
While we wait, we can put the ball down in the nitrogen
and see what happens with it.
My guess is that it will shatter.
The bubbles becomes less, so Proto-clay is cooling down.
Hmm. I wonder if it cracks or not.
It’s a pretty cool effect. The nitrogen vapor flowing barely over the edge of the mug
after running down the sides as if they stick firmly.
One can see that the vapors go inward along mug slope.
Okay, I do not think it gets colder.
I heard one little smack but not another
let us pour the nitrogen out and get the ball out.
Lets see what happens.
Oh!
It jumped into my hand
just as it came out of the nitrogen.
I wonder if it was because of the heat from my hand or from the air
or whether it was just about to shatter if it was because I moved it.
Well .. I was going to test its jumping ability.
Now I think that I will see if it will shatter. Let’s try.
It jumped actually. It jumped just not as a jump ball.
Nothing. The shattering not right
Small pieces fall only by that of the already cracked
when it was down in nitrogen.
Let’s let it thaw and see what happens.
It almost looks like small jelly beans.
They will be rubber-like, but it is not candy.
Our first piece of Proto-Clay is now thawed completely.
Let’s check the consistency, and it is still as flexible as before.
It’s really easy to tear.
It is not nearly as strong as before.
It feels weird.
So you can tear it over, and it has a white film
on the outside that holds it all together.
The inside break very easily
but there are some on the outside little.
It’s pretty strong.
Okay, let’s try out one of the larger pieces. See what happens if we break it.
Uh, there are cracks.
Throughout. I wonder if it also happened because of the cold
I oversaw.
Yes it is .. Wow ..
Before I could twist it and ..
stretching it and crushing it together. But now..!
Now it falls just apart! Weird.
Wow. This goes even easier to pieces, look again!
Okay, that broke it straight over the 2 ..
Excelent, these pieces are thawed again
Let’s see if they still jump. They are, after all, not round anymore
so they jump certainly not straight up and down, but let’s see if they at least still jumps.
They jump since roughly.
Maybe a bit like losing an eraser.
It’s not like throwing a jump ball, but the jumps though.
Now our octopus ready! Let us befriend it and see how it apart.
Like this.
Uhh, it looks promising.
See so here! Does not look crazy out.
One can even see the details from 3D printed.
It seems to work just fine as a material for a mold.
You get all the details, if you press the clay
completely down and get all the little hooks.
If you have any casting plastic, I think this silicone clay will work fine.
However, one must never use Proto-Clay as cooking form.
There are a lot of chemicals in Proto-clay that can make food poisonous.
In just a moment we fire up the furnace, so we can try to cast aluminum in the mold here.
We also have two other pieces Proto-Clay, we throw in the furnace
and see what happens. Maybe they burn, perhaps melts.
Okay, our furnace heats up and begins to melt anything aluminum.
Meanwhile we try to dip this piece down in the heat, to see what happens.
Before heat it up, it is fine and flexible as the second clay was.
Let’s see what happens when it is complete.
Maybe it just burns. Who knows.
Oh, immediately.
Immediately breaking edge in flames.
It starts completely bubble.
It looks like a burnt marshmallow.
Simply. The writer certainly.
Cultivate just this ildtornato.
It smells funny, really. It smells a little fruit-like, like burnt pie
It must be the acetic acid from the silicone.
Interesting!
Although it has been burned thoroughly, it is still quite flexible.
Then the clay container that is part more of its properties when you burn it than when you freeze it.
It is a bit sticky, so maybe it started to actually melt when it burned.
Let’s see if I can tear it in two.
Yup, it can easily be torn, so it has thus become less strong.
There you see. Inside it is still red, the thicker areas.
Such. The aluminum is now well hot.
I will now pull it up and pour the liquid aluminum into our Proto-Clay mold.
Oooog the burner.
And now it flows beyond.
And it still burns.
The mold burner.
It’s still floating, so I keep well away from it.
If it starts to bubble and crackle.
Hoof. I blew out the flame, but the heat ignited it.
So we have poured liquid Alu into our mold
then quickly ignite.
So I do not think that Proto-Clay is a good material for a mold
for liquid metals.
We actually cast a little bit
the octopus’ head there.
It was not very smooth, lacking the tentacles and the mold is fired.
I was however a bit of head here cast.
That’s it guys, four different experiments with Proto-Clay.
We have tried to freezing it in liquid nitrogen,
burn it in a melting furnace, a mold made out of the cast and in the liquid metal.
It gave some mixed results.
When we froze it in nitrogen, I thought it would first freeze, thaw again after being normal again.
Man it cracked and broke all by itself.
And when it thawed and again, it was very fragile and hung not very well together.
When we burned it went as I expected.
It began to char, bubble and burn. It smelled bad and ignited.
And when all it profit nothing.
True, it was still flexible, but it is too gummy, black, smells more strange than before.
I do not recommend that you burn it. It really does no good.
To make a mold out of Proto-Clay worked well.
We caught a lot of the details on our 3D-printed blæksprukke
and we had a form that would have worked fine for different types of plastic.
But. Pouring liquid aluminum into it did not work very well.
Proto-clay ignited just, and the casting was not very good.
I can not recommend casting the metal in Proto-Clay.
We have learned a lot about Proto-Clay today.
If you have made something cool Proto-Clay, tell me about it in the comments.
I would love to know what you have found on.
Thank you for stopping by today. See you in the next video.
Talk to you later!
[Slask]
[Slask again!]
It almost looks like a long stick of cinnamon gum.
[Slask]
Oooog it’s everywhere now.
[Slask]
