Summary:
In this video, Collins and his friend Grant attempt to make fidget spinners out of liquid gallium, a metal that melts at a low temperature. They start by creating molds for the fidget spinners and pouring the liquid gallium into them. They successfully create several liquid metal fidget spinners, including one with a unique design. They then test the spinners to see if they work, and they spin perfectly.
The video takes an unexpected turn when they decide to melt one of the spinners while it's spinning using fire and hand sanitizer. They demonstrate the safety precautions needed for such experiments and emphasize that viewers should not attempt this without proper supervision. Despite some challenges, they successfully create a solid metal fidget spinner using pewter and proceed to melt one of the liquid metal spinners mid-spin, resulting in a fascinating and visually impressive experiment.
