Molten Aluminum Vs. Lava Lamp

Описание: Join the science discord!   / discord   Ever wonder what would happen If you poured molten aluminum into a lava lamp? Me neither. Well, you voted, I listened! Some of my viewers on my Facebook, and G+ pages suggested that I pour molten aluminum into a Lava Lamp. That sounded awesome so I set out to buy the biggest one them make..27"! After I got it, I was sad it was going to break because I really liked it. I hope this video gets enough views so I can buy another one!

I melted down about a pound or two of aluminum and poured it into a lava lamp. I had 4 cameras to capture the carnage, but only two turned out worthwhile. Aluminum melts at 1,221°F (660.3°C), so this stuff was HOT. I knew it would go down to the bottom and crack the glass, but I was not expecting the aluminum to cool in a neat shape. Moral of the story, pour molten metal in things.



I read all my comments, but sometimes I miss a few! If you need help with a project you are welcome to email me :)

On my Facebook, G+, and Twitter page I post questions, polls, and sneak peeks into my next video. Im always looking for my fans input!
