[@ganaraminukshuk0]

Then what's Galnakinstan, a merger between two countries? If the demonym for someone from Afghanistan is Afghan, and Pakistan is Pakistani, what's the demonym for Galinstan and Galnakinstan? Galinstani and Galnakinstani? If we alloyed together iron, cobalt, and nickel and called it Feconi, do we call those people Feconians? Are we gonna have a Galnakinstan-Feconian war?

[@ganaraminukshuk0]

Me again. Rewatched the vid and the first alloy made in the vid was gallium+indium, or Galin. We have Lenin and Stalin, so who's Galin?

[@jamestrotman3238]

honestly its channels like yours and NileReds that i keep my interest in chemistry. I can truely say your a role model for me.

[@BlazeABD]

its 23c in my queens island.

[@diogoayres7953]

in here it'd probably be a bit over 25°C unless it had rained recently or it's night

[@gytux0258]

well in this case it was the temperature of the room he was in. Not Room Temperature.

[@randomrcprojects3754]

He’s in a outdoor building

[@SnareX]

Welcome back to codys lab. Today we're making a mess

[@WarioNumberOne]

When will you make a Cobalt and Dysprosium alloy? A CoDy slab!

[@ganaraminukshuk0]

You'd also need sulfur, lanthanum, and boron for the slab part (CoDySLaB).

[@debug9424]

+Ganaram Or make it a slab

[@JohnCena-gp4dx]

Would be an interesting alloy. Nd2Fe14B is a strong magnet as is SmCo. Neodymium and Samarium are both rare earth metals (lanthanides) just like Dysprosium and Lanthanum, so they have similar magnetic properties.

[@NSaw1]

cody I challenge you to make a neon light.

[@Partyaap050]

yes!

[@MeinsDeins11]

Yes and after that combine the neon gas with some helium to make a laser

[@NSaw1]

oooooooooo yes that to!

[@bravojr]

I double that challenge, Cody I challenge you to make a NEON FLOODLIGHT

[@theCodyReeder]

Neon light that says "Cody'sLab"... ok its on the list!

[@Krawacik3d]

I have a NaK I have a Galinstan Ugh! I have a Galnakinstan

[@MuzikBike]

Galnak is a pretty interesting language, won't lie

[@hanswoast7]

Cody doesnt need safety precautions. If he loses an arm, he'll build a new one. Robotics aint that hard, right? Otherwise maybe, he will just regrow it. He'll figure it out. Keep calm.

[@scotthannan8669]

Hans Woast - he seems to have a NaK for this stuff

[@Ktulu789]

So today I learned: A) Indium, tin and gallium melts below body temperature. B) Aaaand... metals reflect IR from the room around them, which totally makes sense for a mirror, but normally I would not think about such phenomena! That was 2 minutes in the video, and I keep learning? Cody you are awesome! :D

[@gunnerwolf]

I work for Natural Resources Canada and I'm part of a team building a galinstan loop that take waste heat from an industrial source and generates electricity 'in theory'. We're in the early testing phase now but maybe one day galinstan will be used to generate electricity.

[@JohnSmith-cw1lf]

gunnerwolf I doubt it.

[@Joel-hr1uw]

Wouldn't that really just be converting energy instead of generating it?

[@CallMeTess]

@@Joel-hr1uw thats technically what generating energy is, you're just taking energy from other sources into something usable.

[@charlieboyzname]

Thanks Cody still loving the uploads after watching for some time now ...I’ve been rewatching some of the earlier uploads and well...you where much younger then and I realised just how long I’ve been watching Cody’s lab! Thanks for keeping me entertained for that time, I’ve enjoyed the journey and look forward to continuing...providing you don’t get banned completely!!! Charlie UK

[@Ivo--]

When the video is still 360p you know it's fresh. :)

[@Cr125stin]

I literally just purchased some of this alloy. I knew nothing about it a week ago and suddenly you make a video of it!

[@Klaevin]

why do liquid metals all have to be either dangerous or sticky? :'(

[@mistypixstudios6304]

ya who would have thought that a "liquid" would be "sticky".

[@Asdop.]

[@mistypixstudios6304]

Âsdop good. What about it

[@Maric18]

mercury isnt sticky

[@mistypixstudios6304]

[@adamskythief8238]

This video is 100% a science video, but somehow like 78% ASMR… Glass clinking, metal alloys burning and crackling, the sound of brushing, bubbling, stirring, tapping and so on. This is oddly satisfying to listen to.

[@hakon5873]

Seriously, i watch this video and others religiously

[@Verrisin]

"It's kind of interesting how it's *igniting* as I rub it around on my *fingers.* " - That's not a sentence you expect to hear every day. XD

[@r1w3d]

I was literally just in Walmart looking at a liquid metal thermometer made from this liquid metal. Never heard of this alloy and now I'm glad you did this vid👍

[@melvingroenewold6630]

Cody could you please show a way to purify bromine because the video’s i’ve seen are very chaotic

[@zanpekosak2383]

[@theCodyReeder]

While NileRed didn't do it very cleanly he did it well enough that I probably wont make a full video on the topic.

[@AguaFluorida]

This might actually be my favourite Cody video so far!

[@dallebull]

i wouldn't consider 11C "Room Temperature", More like Garage Temp. x)

[@rdizzy1]

Yeah he's crazy to have such a low room temp, fuck that shit, I'll keep mine at 22-23c.

[@dallebull]

At least! Ambient temperature would fit better in this case. :)

[@kdrgaming3344]

Best science videos out there. Your channels are some of my favorites

[@bdf2718]

Frozen mercury cries when you bend it. This stuff farts gently when you drop it in water.

[@jdsimpson8292]

Excellent video! Learned that Mercury is not the only liquid metal at room temperature! Thanks

[@karhukivi]

Depends on the temperature of your room. In hot countries gallium is liquid but not in cold countries unless you have the central heating on very high above 29.76. . Caesium is also a liquid above 28.44C and rubidium at 39.3C.

[@luckycharms8282]

Will we see any gardening videos this year?

[@RockHardRundy]

The noise that the metal made with the water when you were dropping it in water was very satisfying.

[@ignasb]

Sell it to LinusTechTips! they're obsessed with it! :D

[@emmanotsostrong]

Unrelated, but what are the odds that Cody gets invited to use Float Plane early?

[@pitchforkntorch]

[@Alex-dy5ep]

Is it? I think it's very similar to what the "liquid metal" TIM is made of.

[@mr.specter1300]

I was thinking about that if that's the same liquid metal

[@dELTA13579111315]

Thank you Cody for mixing Galinstan and NaK, because I have access to both and I've been tempted to do it lol

[@TheFIoridaMan]

Does the alloy leave a residue like liquid gallium does in your hand. Like graphite from a pencil?

[@beefjerkykoolaid]

Awesome video, Cody! You are the 21st century Mr. Science.

[@atriyakoller136]

Edit: thanks for breaking the stereotype about most Americans wearing shoes indoors, it was interesting. Also, thanks to Cody for answering my question. Let me break a stereotype as well: Russia is no longer Soviet, the USSR fell apart in 1991, and not many people are communist here. Some people enjoy the way their life was in USSR, some don't. But well, if you already know that, then no offence taken on the jokes :) Edit 2: I am saying that 11-12°C is cold when inside, if outside - it's fine. Right now (March 17th) it's -9°C in Moscow and it feels hot due to windiness. I personally can be okay up to -20 degrees, if colder - well, more clothes to put on. But as for any indoor place (especially at home) - this is what I write about below. _______________ As a Russian I find it absurd how your room temperature is just 11-12 °C. It's too cold for normal room temperature. In fact, the least room temperature that is considered normal here is 18°C and the most is, I think, 25°C (which is already a bit too warm for me when I need to move around the room a lot). I remember freezing at 14°C at school during winter, but since we were mostly sitting down in class it was explicable, plus, negative 25° didn't really help us keep warm during the trip to school :D I wonder if this is why many Americans leave their shoes on at home - because it keeps them warm...

[@goatbot9733]

[@dancingtroll3823]

I think this is his lab or something

[@lajoswinkler]

Indeed, this is a disruption of a higher entropy mixture or maybe better to say bringing more order to a mixture. Quite unique video, well done. You can check the remnant alloy for any sodium or potassium by swirling it in water with few drops of ethanolic solution of phenolftalein. Even tiny amounts will increase pH considerably and turn it magenta.

[@ClockReview]

You know it's fresh when 360p is the highest video quality available

[@carolynmmitchell2240]

Daniel Smith 360p is the best, you can see what's going on and it don't eat your data super bad

[@Titan9731]

Of course you get liquid Metal after mixing two solid... This is why I don't understand chemistry. Is there a way to calculate this reaction before testing?

[@Draginea]

Yes. Probably a bit beyond first-year chem though.

[@theducksongrules]

Yeah, you can look at the phase diagram. I think the stuff he was saying about entropy can be used to qualitatively get the new melting point at any composition, but I'm not sure.

[@Titan9731]

Thanks :)

[@axavia]

So theoretically, if I had enough gallium and indium, and I alloyed them... I COULD MAKE A MELTABLE WALL TO ENTER MY EVIL LAIR!!! That would be so cool... I could just touch a wall and watch it melt like I had super powers!

[@denizbluemusic]

it would be more sensinle to just get the gallium

[@carbon5362]

Indium is $5 a gram. Start selling some lemonade.

[@draculicacid6927]

Now your thinking point outside of the box.your definitely onto something there

[@lloydevans2900]

You might be interested to know that galinstan can be used as an alternative to NaK for solvent stills. Organometallic and inorganic chemistry labs typically require extremely dry solvents, which is why they usually have a bunch of solvent stills boiling away with alkali metals in them: Sodium for toluene or xylene, potassium for hexane or THF, and NaK for pentane or ether. Even in academic labs, some people frown on using NaK because it is so dangerous, so galinstan can be a useful alternative there. But how so, since galinstan itself doesn't react with water? Well, it can if you dissolve aluminium in it, which is easy enough to do: Just drop some aluminium granules into a beaker of galinstan, stir it around and it dissolves quite nicely, just like making sodium amalgam by dropping lumps of sodium into mercury. Don't use aluminium foil though - the high surface area means it tends to ignite when galinstan comes into contact with it and dissolves the oxide coating off. The galinstan-aluminium alloy is still liquid, and having the aluminium in liquid state makes it almost as reactive towards water as NaK, so is effective for drying solvents. Magnesium also dissolves in galinstan, so that is a slightly more aggressive alternative to aluminium. The only problem with using galinstan is that it sticks to glass, forming a mirror surface on any glass it touches. The only way to prevent this is to coat the surface of the glass with gallium oxide, which is possible but expensive. This is done for the glass capillaries used in some modern thermometers, where galinstan is used as a mercury substitute.

[@mikewolf78]

Is this the same stuff as Coollaboratory Liquid Pro thermal compound?

[@Return_To_Sender]

These are the questions we need to know. You can buy 30g of galinstan for like 30 bucks. Conductonaut is mostly galinstan but I don't know what else is in it.

[@mikewolf78]

I wasn't aware of that Conductonaut even existed. I remember using the CLP couple of years ago, and this reminded me of it's mind boggling ability to stay liquid even at room temperature.

[@Return_To_Sender]

Conductonaut has the highest thermal conductivity @ 73 W/mk ...CLP is only 38.4....I use conducto on both my cpu and gpu, but I change my liquid coolant every few months so it would be nice to have a good supply of it.

[@CrimFerret]

Galinstan is the main thing in liquid metal thermal compound. It also has one of the largest differences between melting and boiling points of anything that's liquid at room temperature. That's mostly due to the gallium which by itslef has a range of over 2000 degrees between melting and boiling.
