Let's see if this guy cracked his hands with his gallium

Gallium is a colorless metal, which can melt in the palm of your hand but turns metal from hard to soft.

Gallium (Gallium) , has an atomic number of 31. This is a substance that does not exist in nature, but is easily found after the aluminum, zinc smelting reactions . and extracted from aluminum hydroxide crude oil.

Predicted to exist since 1871 by the scientist Mendelev, Gali was first named 'eka_nhôm' , and appeared in the periodic table of research by this brilliant intellectual.

Gallium has an extremely low melting point - only about 30 degrees Celsius , so it can melt in the palm of your hand. Completely friendly to humans, but can destroy glass, metal . is the highlight of this unique chemical element.

And in the video of YouTuber LockPickingLawyer, we will see firsthand this nature of Gallium. When exposed to aluminum, it will create a compound capable of destroying the rigid nature of aluminum. This is a very useful application if you want to unlock it manually, for example.

With gallium, breaking the lock becomes extremely easy.

What is amazing about this chemical reaction is that we do not need to do much but let Gallium promote its use. Just a little bit on the lock and rub it on the surface that the other compound has formed. After that, Gallium spread itself around and almost covered the entire lock. After waiting for about 5 hours, the lock has become extremely weak now.

Breaking the lock is not the only use of Gali. The researchers found that this aluminum-gallium compound could be used as a new fuel source. As in the video above, when this compound is added to water, it releases hydrogen gas.

Using this compound to unlock it takes a lot of time, so it is not the best option if you want to apply this trick to become a thief. However, it helps to know that an extremely simple chemical reaction can completely change the chemical properties of a substance.
