Unique experiments with Gallium - liquid metal can melt at room temperature

Nobody knows, Gallium is such a soft metal that it can melt as soon as it is put on hand. To test the interesting properties of the metal, Slow Mo Guys YouTube channel slowed down their exciting moves.

Gallium is a special chemical element. At ambient temperature, it is a soft, silver-green metal. But when in liquid state, it is shaped like white silver and like a mirror.

Gallium is a special chemical element.

According to Wikipedia, Gallium is a liquid at temperatures greater than 29.76 degrees Celsius, above room temperature but below the human body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. That's why the metal often melts as soon as put on the hand.

Because of a rather special metal, Gallium is often used in many studies. Recently, the Dan and Gav guys continue to have a test with Gallium to see when they participate in the test and are slow to shoot, how the metal will react.

The video is titled "Pouring a Liquid Mirror in Slow Motion", roughly translated as "Close-up of liquid mirroring during slow motion".

Slow Mo Guys YouTube channel has performed liquid Gallium slowdown according to three different scenarios. For the first time, they poured it on the speaker to see how it reacted to vibrations.

Then they decided to pour it from a large cup into the plate below. The effect of dropping this liquid metal looks like a full mirror river.

The image turned slowly into the scene of pouring Gallium from a large cup.

In the end, the Dan and Gav guys decided to pour Gallium onto the empty surface to see what it would look like when something hit.

For details about how those scenes are, you can see the entire slow-motion Gallium test of Slow Mo Guys below:
