sodium acetate one is fake. sticking your hand in the stuff is an old lab demonstration teachers use all the time.

For those confused the "electromagnet" melting aluminum is actually an induction furnace which melts any metal via induced hi-frequency AC

Why is the solar steel not turning red before melting? I'm guessing not steel.

I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure neither water nor aluminum would be held up by an electromagnet of that power and size.
Onlyhereforthelaughs
"aluminum heated by an electromagnet" I thought aluminum was a non-ferrous metal, how does this work? O_o
cleverbeans
Aluminum is conductive and often used in industrial applications because of it's low weight and all matter interacts electromagnetically.
larrygogo
The electromagnet is inducing eddycurrents in the aluminum. The natural resistance of the aluminum turns them to heat, the aluminum melts.

It's a miniature induction furnace

Zappers42
What are you talking about? Ken Ham continued to spout his rhetoric while bill nye would back up his claims with scientific findings
ajilephoto20168888
He had no scientific findings. And Ken Ham, don't even get me started on that moron. I think we're in agreement on him.
ajilephoto20168888
You're joking right? Bill Nye closed his useless banter off with "it's a mystery, and that's what's beautiful about the universe."

That debate was like a precursor to the 2016 election. Petty childish fail. Ken Ham just happened to be better at it than Bill poser Nye

Julster
I don't see how people think this is fake.
spudcosmic
Because sodium acetate is harmless and doesn't get any hotter than bath water. People do this all the time in demonstrations.
DrCatbus
Because it doesn't get that hot, and if he was really trying to pull his hand out he would have liftet the jar off the table.
thewhifflingtit
If he'd tried to pull his hand out his hand would be out. The crystals have the consistency of slush, he's just hamming it up for the
thewhifflingtit
camera.
Julster
At first I got the impression that he's not trying to pull it out, but resisting the urge to pull it out cause I thought he was scared. ...
METHematics
Is the solar power vs. Steel in real time? If so that's crazy impressive and must be harnessed in my garage.
yy0b
It looks more like aluminum, steel would be glowing an intense white if it were gonna get hot enough to melt
METHematics
I thought that as well but I thought it might just be the quality or something making it look that way.
yy0b
I do metal casting, believe me, steel gets so bright you need to wear welding goggles to look at it safely

It's the filter they used for the camera. Someone posted the sauce further up.

HedgehogsAreSoAwesome
Actually it can't. That's not steel. Mythbusters did an episode and made a set up similar to that. Nothing happened even to wood
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
i think @mistersavage has some explaining to do :)
Bystandr
That episode was based on confirming/busting the myth that Archmedies solar mirror couldnt have lit up a ship. The legend has reference to
Bystandr
multiple mirrors being used, however, and we dont know what kind of mirrors he used. There are solar plants that focus enough energy to heat
Bystandr
molten salt and care must be taken not to overheat it as the focus can produce a temp over the melting point of steel (2600C). I would think
Bystandr
that would make it possible with large enough apparatus , though in this gif , its not steel being melted.
lemongrenadier
Am a blacksmith, can confirm steel actually gets white hot before it melts. That was actually Gallium or some other metal.
Popsicke
Yeah rumor is there's a nice polarized filter on the camera that makes everything look differently, color wise, that to the naked eye
lemongrenadier
Yeah, it was bugging me because I could see the temper colors, but not the glowing steel.
lemongrenadier
NVM, it is steel, just saw the video. I'm used to steel sparking because I heat it in an oxygen-rich environment. The pool of steel...
lemongrenadier
in the video was sparking from the atmosphere after it melted.
BGonz
i enjoyed it when you said some other metal

I seek truth, sorry.

It's the byproduct of baking soda + vinegar, actually. You can make it at home. It's also in a lot of reusable hand warmers.

TheCrystalWizard
Lemme break it down for you. Sodium acetate reaction shown here is recrystallization from a super saturated solution. Thus, heat is produced
TheCrystalWizard
This is the same reaction that is in reuseable handwarmers, and can be made from baking soda and vinegar. The person here (LABeast) is..
TheCrystalWizard
Overreacting to get views on youtube. NurdRage has done a similar video where he details the feeling/consistency of the salt, to snow.
philosopheusus
He has a YouTube channel called skippy62able. And at the start of the video, he mentioned that he made it at home. Must have made a mistake.
LantanaGrey2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_acetate#Heating_pad
RaynebowDeathtrap
.
Valaar
It's a very concentrated solution of solidum acetate. If the water is pure and without any perturbation, it can be concentrated above the
Valaar
2. saturation limit. When the guy puts his hand in it, it destabilize the system, causing precipitation/crystallisation of the excess of
Valaar
3. sodium acetate. Crystalisation is exothermic, so it releases quite some heat. It is used as hand warmer.
Jimb0nes

If I remember correctly, the LA Beast's roommate is a nurse, so he does have access to some medical attention.

maybe 130-140 is high enough to scold him. He went for medical treatment afterwards.

highteck9
Good point! And even if he wasn't trying to pull it out like it was some dare or something. He didn't even flinch.
FeelMoreLikeIdoRightNowThanIdidAwhileAgo
He wasn't trying to pull it out, it didn't trap his hand, the challenge was to keep his hand in the jar for a particular minimum timeframe.
skindredzakuska
Not saying it isn't fake, but The LA Beast claims something went wrong with his SA and if it was painful, as he claims, what you saw was 1/2

him keeping his hand in the jar for as long as he could. He's retarded. 2/2

Maboroshi1994
60 C isn't that hot. not really. it's about as hot as a fairly warm bath really.
SirButcher
What kind of bath you are taking? O.O I feel uncomfortable in 39-40C hot water, above that is starting to burn.
Maboroshi1994
i've done this reaction before. it really is no warmer than a hot bath. you may feel uncomfortable (and it is somewhat) but not burning.
SirButcher
I have this stuff in a hand warmer but I am talking about your bath! Putting your hand into 60C stuff and submerging your body is different
madetheaccountjustforyou
It's what makes your salt and vinegar chips taste like salt and vinegar. We eat it. I'm confused how it could hurt him like that.
kazini
If you use it to make a supersaturation solution it's the same thing thats in a hand warmer and gets decently hot actually.
ibeatjake
When the crystallization begins the sodium acetate releases a lot of heat in order to go from liquid to solid. While in liquid state 1/2
ibeatjake
it still has energy stored and needs to release it to become a solid however it also needs a crystallization point which was his hand.
Maboroshi1994
AFAIK it's fake. if it's not then i'm guessing the pressure caused by crystallization was painful.
ChronoKing
Heat of crystallization
Maboroshi1994
about 60C, bit toasty, not too painful. i was thinking more a crystal jabbing his hand with the confined space pushing really hard.

the temperature is too low for burns, that's about as hot as a smartphone under heavy load. hell my laptop's fan exhaust is warmer sometimes
spacix
You can get toasted skin syndrome from laptops: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythema_ab_igne but it's not a typical burn, more over time
DrBrogbo
Heat up a vat of water on the stove to 130°F and dunk your hand in before you try to compare it to completely unrelated things like that.
Maboroshi1994
I've also used that reaction while helping with a "get kids into science" thing. it's really not that bad.
Maboroshi1994
i frequently work with water baths in my line of work, 65C and up is bad, but the reaction is under 60C, bit toasty, but really not too bad
DrBrogbo
Still not at all comparable to air exhaust from a laptop, or the internal temp of a silicon chip w heatsinks and multiple layers between tho
