In this video, the YouTuber, along with their friend Grant, attempts to make fidget spinners out of liquid metal, specifically gallium. They create molds, pour the liquid metal, and successfully produce functional fidget spinners. They also experiment by melting the spinners while they're spinning, resulting in impressive visual effects. Additionally, they showcase a flaming fidget spinner trick using hand sanitizer. The video emphasizes the importance of caution and parental supervision when attempting such experiments.
1. The task at hand is to create fidget spinners out of liquid metal and specifically, gallium.
2. Gallium is a unique metal because it melts at a very low temperature, low enough to melt in the palm of one's hand.
3. The process involves creating molds for the fidget spinners, deconstructing the fidget spinners, and pouring the molten gallium into the molds.
4. The molten gallium is described as weighty and jiggly, and it feels heavier than water.
5. The gallium is liquefied by placing it in hot water, and it takes about 10 minutes to completely liquefy.
6. The process of creating the fidget spinners involves filling the molds with the molten gallium, setting them in the fridge to cool down, and then freezing the metal again to create the fidget spinners.
7. The fidget spinners are then tested to see if they spin and if they can withstand the heat of a blowtorch.
8. The end goal is to create a liquid metal fidget spinner that can spin and also melt mid-spin.
