This guy pours molten aluminum into a fish tank.. What happened next was the coolest thing ever!
Some people don’t think that art and science can go together, but this super cool experiment by Backyard Scientist completely disproves that theory!
YouTube user, Backyard Scientist, is known to do a lot of unusual stuff such as different weird yet interesting tutorials of science experiments which he do in his own back yard. And their latest experiment involves pouring molten aluminum into a fish tank full of water beads to observe what kind of exciting designs were formed as the molten metal run down.
First, he started collecting his materials for the experiment. He prepared a large fish tank, three pounds of water polymer beads, a forge, molten aluminum, and a protective mask.
It took him hours to fill up the whole fish tank with polymer beads. After that, he melted the aluminum until it turned red hot. Before he poured it down the fish tank, he placed his GoPro at the bottom to capture a different perspective of the experiment.
As he started pouring down the molten aluminum, it cooled down and instantly solidified creating a unique amazing sculpture.
When Backyard Scientist took out the aluminum it has been transformed into a stunning work of art. He repeated the experiment for several times. According to him, every aluminum sculpture that came out from the fish tank is uniquely beautiful. He thinks that it closely resembles a coral. But he said that his garden or any other place could benefit some artistic tough from the aluminum sculpture.
The experiment may seem simple and amazing; this is not a DIY experiment for the rest of us. The molten aluminum can be really unpredictable which why it should only be handled by a professional. For those who are not, we could just safely admire the experiment’s results from our screens.
