Field's Metal vs Aluminium

I test to see if a fusible alloy can destroy aluminium the way that gallium or mercury does.
I only tested the one alloy (mostly because I didn't have any spare cadmium) but I think anything with tin in it should act similarly.

"It's about 3 nano-lightseconds long." Never change, Cody.

One thing I've noticed in watching many of Cody's videos: He doesn't sleep...

HOW PEOPLE FIND THE LENGTHS OF OBJECTS. USA- imperial EVERYONE ELSE- metric Me-count with fingers Cody- “Its about three nano light seconds long”

As always good content that I can watch instead of sleeping

Cody's got his own table of elements. Luminum, Neodyminium, etc. Might need some Bletch on standby too :P

I actually thought you'd been awarded mathematics' highest honor and were about to do chemistry to your Fields' Medal because that's just how baller you are.

Maybe the alloy is absorbing into the structure of the aluminium and when you let it solidify again the crystals expand slightly, pushing the aluminium crystals slightly apart. Would also explain why it’s slightly raised on the surface

This reminded me a bit of the time Cody made grey tin.

Absolutely love the absurd units of measure you use in your videos. Please keep it up, it's become an Easter egg I've come to look forward to.
@uzm.dr.5645 4 years ago

Why did you use grams and celcius we dont understand this unit YOU SHOULD'VE SAID NUMBER OF ATOMS MEASURED BY PLANCK'S CONSTANT AND KELVIN
@buckstarchaser2376 5 years ago

The heat must have been keeping the local humidity too low to progress the reaction. That was pretty surprising that it reacted with water so aggressively. Seems like that could be harnessed for an emergency battery or something.

Whats this "luminum" he's talking about? ;)

"Ive got this peice of aluminum here, its about 3 nano light seconds long" damn you cody this is why i love you

It probably soaks in laterally faster than vertically because the angle would have been extruded. The grain structure of the aluminum would probably be stretched in the direction of the extrusion.

Next: Fields Metal on a Fields Medal!

Does Cody ever sleep?

Always a head scratcher when watching Cody, I will always love this channel

You always make mind stimulating, interesting videos! Been watching since 2011, keep up the great work!!!!
