[@aster_nova]

I don't see him wearing a filtered mask for the Alumina(?) dust, and 1/3rd through the video it seems obvious that the plexiglass isn't going to shield him when he pours it, they also haven't taped down the wires. He doesn't clean up the toxic dust before going to the next stage of the project, and he doesn't keep track of his materials like his gloves, leaving him to leave the active area and search for it, then he discards it to the floor. I mean, I haven't done any chemistry, but these all seem like, pretty obvious hazards and dangerous failings that are all reasonably easy to address? Like his lab methodology seens really bad :(

[@aster_nova]

@@watermelon4man408 The dust is pretty close to the edge, are you sure it would be picked up by the fume hood? 🤔🤔

[@PogoLogo352]

@@aster_nova There's definitely a difference between the dust you see laying on the surface, which is big and kinda clumped together, and the dust that the fume hood collects. So when something (like wind or them accidentally touching) disturbs the dust on the surface it will give off tiny little dust particles into the air. (Compare it to the dust laying under your couch and the dust that comes out of the couch cushions if you hit it) Those will be sucked up by the fume hood without problems. The "bigger" dust won't and thats okay, because them breathing wouldn't pick it up either. But in general I'd like to note that he knows what he is doing. He wore the gloves, long sleeves and glasses. If he or his friends really saw a major hazard in what they're doing, they would have adressed it.

The crucibles you are currently using are good for silver, gold and aluminum. Copper likes to eat through the crucibles you are currently using. If you plan to melt any other metals like copper or iron you need to use graphite clay crucibles. You should constantly check on the copper because. The longer you leave it exposed to the high heat the higher chance you have all your metal oxidizing. You should use copper or aluminum instead of the tin. Because they're melting temperature is much higher than the tin’s.

Not sure if that’s all correct, but they were making a circuit that was capable of producing blinding photons of light, where they reached something like 16V and the fan-thing spun off and hit the board behind them, as this massive crack was heard from the light being produced.

It's correct that the Leidenfrost effect creates the explosion, but Derg is incorrect. It's not about cooling faster, although the lower submersion does help the pressure buildup. You can see the first one didn't succeed because the fluid stream didn't break apart and the Leidenfrost effect formed a chimney for hot gas to escape from the bottom and prevented pressure buildup. The second time we see the drop separating and getting covered from all sides. What matters is the water cover, a lot of it. I hope this explains it.

The phenomenon of the explosions is called (creatively) "Vapor Explosions." I had a nuclear engineering prof tell us that it happens during reactor meltdowns when the molten core hits the coolant. It has to do with the water penetrating the metal then vaporizing, breaking it apart creating a chain reaction. If I remember correctly, it results in shards sizes in the microns. The guy said Oakridge paid him to figure out how to make it not happen while the DoD paid him to figure out how to make it happen even more. It was an interesting 1 credit seminar

[@WhiteTrash89]

Great video! Pyrometallurgy is my favorite. I "grained" precious metals for a few years on a large scale and the constant explosions were hard to deal with. Our solution to calm it down a little bit was to get our water moving with pressure washers / high pressure inlet-outlet lines, and to have the water VERY cold. We played around with different alloy mixes as well, but didn't ever have any solid results. As far as why it happened to us, we assumed it had something to do with the copper content of the alloy, the amount of slag and impurities in our materials, and the Leidenfrost effect creating those steam pockets beneath the solidifying metal. We once poured a little too quickly and launched a stainless steel tank with 150 gallons of water well over a foot off the concrete!

It's a fume hood. It's got fans on the top and massive filters and recirculates the air so the air flow goes down at the opening forming a curtain of air and goes up in the back so the bits go away from you. There is a clear plexi door that comes down but I've never seen him close it.
