we’ve tried a few different varieties of
melting down metal and pouring it into
clear ice this time we’ve got a bunch of
lead and we want to see if it has a
similar reaction to what we’ve seen
before or if we’ll get something new
here’s the basic idea we picked up a
whole lot of lead fishing sinkers from a
local Super Center we’re gonna throw
them down on our crucible and melt those
suckers down and while they’re melting
we’ll drill a hole about 60% of the way
through our block of clear ice mix the
two together and see if we can get them
to explode having the lead rest on top
of the block of ice is pretty fun the
heat from the lead gets transferred down
into the ice and it just carves a funny
lead melts at a much lower temperature
than the other metals we’ve tried so I
suspect this will go quite a bit faster
whoo here we go in three two one oh that
was intense that was a big explosion
whoo Wow shattered that block of ice
just tore it apart pop this off so it
stops lighting things on fire let’s look
at the damage on this one Oh our poor
GoPro got exploded off the shelf this is
the same GoPro that got brass on it
molten brass when we tested molten brass
in ice you can still see some of the
brass is still embedded in the GoPro
it’s still stuck there but still
counting despite a foreign body and
having just been blown backwards off the
table I don’t know what makes the
difference it seemed like when we did
aluminium and it exploded we had more
small pieces like it shattered whereas
the lead definitely tore the block of
ice in the feet I mean we have a good
spread we’ve got ice like six eight feet
away from the table and then just in
loss of big piece but it’s in mostly big
pieces there’s not tons of tiny little
shards and that could be that the ice
was colder when we did it with the
aluminum like it was cold in the dome
and so the ice stayed really cold
whereas today it’s fairly warm in the
dome and so maybe the ice wasn’t as cold
I know what you’re thinking ice is ice
it’s freezing cold but when we’ve done
this before it was actually like 1015
degrees Fahrenheit here in the dome so
it really was keeping it colder than the
freezing temperature of ice Wow where
did all the metal go can I have to watch
that on slow-mo I think it probably just
got
blown into the air or something like
that scattered which is why I was sixty
feet away outside the dome it’s mostly
gaunt like there’s little bits on the
table here and there but that crucible
was full I’ve had a tiny bit left in it
when I took it out poured it out we just
have molten formerly molten metals
strewn about on the ground of the dome
here we’ve had a lot of melted metal in
here we’ve seen this effect before we
have this sort of cone pyramid shape
left over this is where I drilled using
the Spade bit down into the ice and it
broke down away from that but you can
still see the point right where the
drill bit was here’s what remains of our
giant block of clear ice it’s pretty
well been smashed into a bunch pieces
it’s weird that it completely destroyed
the bottom one here is all of the lead
that I was able to find just scattered
around the table and when I poured some
out of the crucible trying to get it out
of our metal cup I’d say we have a fair
amount of it here but we’re still
probably missing at least 30 to 40
percent of it so some of that must have
just been scattered when the ice
exploded my only explanation
so lead-in a block of ice exploded the
ice salt we got to explode a block of
ice aluminum we got to explode a block
of ice copper and brass both didn’t
explode we had them cast somewhat down
in the ice we had them geyser up out of
the ice somewhat and those were both
really cool to watch but they weren’t
the explosion that happens from the
aluminum to lead now aluminum and lead
both melt at much lower temperatures
than brass the copper so maybe there’s
something there I’m still guessing it
has to do with this specific heat of
each material that we try with maybe
more testing is still in order
