Nuclear Engineer Reacts to NileRed Aluminum and Mercury Amalgamation

Nuclear Engineer Reacts to NileRed Aluminum and Mercury Amalgamation

[GameDesignerJDG]

Nile Red is one of my favorite YouTubers. I'd like to see your reaction to one of his more complicated organic chemistry videos like turning latex gloves into hot sauce or latex gloves into grape soda. There's also a couple videos where he makes aerogel. The chemistry is relatively simple in that video, but he has to delve into some engineering and physics to get the final result he's after.
Edit: vinyl, not latex.

Fun fact, aluminum oxide is the base mineral sapphire is made of, so basically every piece of aluminum you have ever handled is covered in a few atoms thick layer of polycrystaline sapphire.

As to amalgams, Lock Picking Lawyer did a cool video where he destroyed an aluminum body lock with gallium.

I'm a nuclear engineer, and I use your channel as continued education lol.

Ohh my, you actually did it! Hurray! You're genuienly one of my favourite reactors. It's fresh seeing people with actual knowledge watching these videos, who can tell you at least something about the topic and doesn't just know high school science. Please keep it up! Nile's videos are great

[MichalKolac]

Please continue with the bobby brocoli reaction

Mercury is very dense, but also has a very low viscosity. Sloshes like water, but is 14 times heavier.

This is for sure one of the most beautiful reactions that I have seen Nile perform.

nile redand blue has many great experiments like making soda out of vinyl gloves, great channel to keep checking out 😊

I'd love to watch him react to as a contrast to Nile's videos.
His sulfur nitride video is one of those things that i go back and watch from time to time, which is weird bc it's just some chemistry and a funny guy.

[TheMilkMan]

If you want to see some fun chemistry that is explained and shown in the same way by him you should watch his grape soda from plastic gloves, hot sauce from plastic gloves, and cherry soda from paint thinner. Not much you can add to the video, but it is a fun watch haha

I'm glad Youtube recommended me this gem of a channel. Keep up doing these buddy!

MDMA is currently being used to treat PTSD, existential distress in terminally ill, and many other diseases. When it comes to drugs; Just Say KnoW. Use a test kit and be informed.

We actually had some reactors that used a Magnesium-Aluminium alloy for the fuel cladding.

[ArkhamHedler]

From what I remember, Fukushima was also a hydrogen explosion, but it wasn't the reactor that exploded, but rather the hydrogen that leaked into the reactor buildings and ignited, and caused the buildings to explode, but the reactors themselves were intact.

Bro's regretting going the nuclear engineer path and not the chemist path.

[szymonnowak]

From NileRed's videos, one of my favourite ones is about chromyl cloride. It's rather short presentation of the compound but mesmerising to watch.

[quillclock]

just a lil image here and there helps visualize what you are talking about. i googled "fuel rod cladding" while you were talking about it to help me understand

[napoleon]

Yay more NileRed reactions, awesome. I love it when you give us plenty of cool nuclear knowledge. Don’t get me wrong I love Sam Onella, but personally think you should stick to reacting to mostly science videos.

If you are interested, Nile red also made 3 cleanup videos for all his mercury waste

Correction: 2 Cleanup videos and one mercury recovery video
