me too

I said to myself, "No fucking way he actually did it, he'd need a swimming pool."

vaibhav That would mean he found a source of DAMN large masking tape...!😂

vaibhav 🍆💦💦😃

I was thinking, where the hell did he get that much Mercury?

Reminds me of that scene from austin powers

Hence the '5 minutes later' lol

black ops every slam = rotation reset O O F

I wonder what would happen if he used a Mecanum wheel

Saw it at 499 just had to like it

It could be very interesting. If it weren't for it being toxic

mieguistumas no. Actually you could but it would be more like crawling.

Absolutely you could swim....well something like swimming! I've seen pics of people in protective suits kinda walk/wading in huge cats of mercury!

Yea! Coppa: *Are you sure about that* Oh no... not you!

I mean he already walked on it!! Why would he wanna swim now?

When you have the liability of being a school that's responsible for hundreds of children with local media sure to show up, especially when science education is poor and safety procedures are barely taught leading people to think you can die from so much looking at mercury directly (sarcasm, but a lot of people think touching elemental mercury for so much as a few seconds can kill you or give you cancer or whatever), it makes some sense. It's a waste of time and money, sure, but no school wants to be faced with a lawsuit about something stupid parents think has to do with the mercury or arguably worse clever parents who know they'll be able to make some quick cash because it's very bad PR to have something like that go to court, no matter how incorrect and frivolous it is.

2muchtextbro

It's almost as if it's a complicated situation.

My physics teacher straight up told us he used to break open those suckers and play with the mercury as a child. Your school may have been on the right track :/

What school is that?

Werther's Original me too

I thought the same thing for a second there to.

lol yeah I thought the EPA was gonna have his guts for garters

I think you mean Count Cody

Oh, it's a CLICKBAIT, oh it's, bad, and he shouldn't... But anyway, cool video, who else is playing with mercury?

+Mustafa Ahmed _Imagine you are on one side of a Mercury lake, and there is a boat on your side._ _You have a bag of grain, a chicken, and a fox with you, and you can only go across the lake with one of them at a time. The chicken will eat the grain if you leave those two alone, and the fox will eat the chicken if you leave those two alone. How do you get all three, and yourself, across the lake of Mercury??_ Boom, *there's* your scenario!

Take the chicken first Go back Take fox Bring chicken on the way back Take grain Come back Take chicken

Just ask them to walk over it's not like they're going to drown

use an aluminum boat :3

Plot twist! All orphans are dead because of mercury poisoning due to mercury evaporation :D xD

Both covered in thickkkk oxidation layers. The mercury would have to sit on them for a while. As soons as it hits the wheels it's getting flung off. Also mercury doesnt "stick" to aluminum. It beads off

It's not gallium dipshit

@@noreason2701 you should do some research

Will Evans I totally forgot about that

@@noreason2701 Mercury also forms an amalgam with Aluminum. Dipshit.

Yeah... if only

What is it im kindof stupid

Will Moran Yeah , you are

And peeing in an apple juice jug.

Benjamin Meijer best idea ever

And add metallic cesium for good measure.

Clearly

Stating the obvious, dude... 😂

Yes! My comment got a ❤! Now my life is complete. Thanks, Cody's Lab.

Remember though, if you had to get out, you'd be "walking on the liquid" like Jesus!! Maybe only get a little mercury in your shoes :)

Nah, you'd fall flat on you face. I wonder if that would hurt.

Do it with 4x4 drive then if you can do it with a AWD sys. same volume of mercury minimize depth in favor of more horizontal drive area

Davinder, don't give away all my secrets man...

Yz250fTony I was thinking the exact same thing lol

I get it

@Keep it Dope a soft metal used in really powerful magnets.it's also a chemical element

House boat on mercury

If you have a platform you can for a while but it's relfective and also toxic.

The solar radiation wouldn't be pleasant, especially with how long a day is.

Making a house out of liquid mercury

And there's virtually no atmosphere, so you'd have to bring your own.

lol

Pand Not really swimming if your not submerged

I am sure cody is working on a set up and adequately mercury proof suit as we speak

I was just thinking to myself if you could dive into mercury.

Cody; when you see this, you need to buy a scuba/hazman suit and fix it up to a sufficient enough degree to swin in mercury. Tight swimsuit gloves and slip on waterproof shoes sealed onto the sleeves of your suit with silicone then duct taped carefully. The balaclava type snorkeling mask with goggles sewn in place and sealed off with copious amounts of silicone. Silicone along all potential points of entry for the mercury, i.e. along the zips of your suit etc. Breathing apparatus siliconed into your mouth. Silicone bath before hand. Silicone everywhere. Just become an amorphous blob and dive into that mercury. Your reward will be millions of views.

Pro reference

is this a thunderfoot reference?

Not with a turbo but other then that i would think so but the pipe would probably have 6inches in or so

No.

That's a valid question, with water the exhaust just blows out but mercury is heavier so I'd worry about exhaust pressure

Jimmy Ostler, dont worry dude, im sure it has its safety squints engaged, n if you look real close, theres a tiny safety tie there to. All the PPE. Totally invulnerable. Sweat less bro.

No *seat belts* either! _GASP!_ The *humanity!*

It all floats to the top and mercury doesn't wet things, so you could do a reasonable job with a piece of paper towel. From there if you have other metals dissolved in it from the dust they will oxidize and tarnish the surface, and for that I guess you need to distill it. Cody's done that so you can go see the video.

Of course.

Arno nümuss Yes we should have solar panels parallel to the Rd pointed towards the mercury instead of the sun because the reflections are obviously more efficient, i just need a good kickstarter video to prove it

;P

Doubledunk, yeah cody will become rich ;P

Arno nümuss They even light up!

Ell Bennett na dude that would be AMAZING

JBpiification I'm coming orphans!! *splash* *car suddenly heats up giving off plumes of fog, car rises up out of lake spawning metallic tenticals. * *kids need therapy *

Ell Bennett whouldnt matter, aluminium oxide

Gallium destroys aluminum, not mercury

That rules out the F150 i guess

HKM BlackSun - Evil Count Cody the Benevolent, thank you. Blasting rights and One Thousand BEEEEES for every able body man, woman, and humanoid form homonculi! Praise be Evil Lord Cody!

Cody's E Lab? *E* for *Evil!* _BWAHAHAHA!!!_

HKM BlackSun fits nicely with his explosive arrows and Frost gun, as tools for evil

I was gonna comment that

You Beat me to it lol

totally.

Bump, would actually love to see this. I miss the Geology videos from back in the day, and if Cody just has to make more Mercury videos, I would love for this to be one of them.

@@PromptedHawk im curious also

His area has a ton of mercury ore. Who’s going to clean that up?

Sooooo....... Did you give the toy back to the kids! I wonder if he know Mercury vaporizes even at room temperature and the whole time he is over that pool he's breathing it in! Some people are dangerously stupid!

AQUILLA REFINING he did an episode discussing evaporation rates. You should watch it.

Renegade Roofing - It would be hard to drown in it, too!

I Wonder if he actually has enough mercury. Probably not.

He does not have enough, _yet_ *laughs in Cody*

Yeah, 4 boxes would do. If you made them circular, only slightly bigger than the tires themselves, you could float the car on less than 10l of mercury.

Give him some time 😂

He can easily get enough lol

Thats something I think he should test

The resistance is also more

Ruud Good point. It would be really interesting to test different types of propellers in different mediums to see how much the force output differs.

There'd be so much resistance that probably you'd twist off the prop shaft. Torque is a booger.

Experimental Fun the prop wouldn't even sinks in the mercury probably

Hanif Shakiba - It would make it slide sideways, more that turn. AWD/4WD would make it turn.

TheoCampbell - In theory, but the back of the vehicle wouldn't have much drag on the mercury, so it would slide, more than turn. It's the same reason that it didn't turn very well when Cody's vehicle was RWD; the front wheels didn't have much drag/traction.

Ideally you would have a drivetrain like a Lamborghini centenario where the back wheels turn opposite to the front wheels

AJman14 with Cody’s car the front wheels basically acted like rudders on a boat, while with a front wheel drive car it would be like combining rudders with turning engines. So it would turn better as there would be more force turning the car.

Ismo I left a comment "how.... the *FUCK* did you get that much mercury?!" before the video started 😂

Entropic see it works :D

or just bring it down to -32F with an industrial freezer

I'm saying it hasn't gone far enough

Kanglar yeah, he could have done all that math without needing to actually take measurments

I think his truck weighs more than 2700 lbs

SuperBrainAK I think because the vapour pressure of Hg is so high, and the atmospheric pressure of Mars is lower it'd probably evaporate even more quickly than on earth. If you had a lake of Mercury you'd quite quickly have no lake of mercury, and a whole area contaminated with Mercury vapour. Sounds healthy

ok ill wait to go to a planet where it is possible, colder and more gravity?

Colder and more pressure.

Jeeze guys. Leave the nerding-out to Cody ffs. Brian is just creating a hypothetical scenario that absolutely seems to jive with Cody's personality. The guy really loves his Mercury and i'm sure he'd love to have a lake of it. No matter if it were on Venus, Titan, or Earth. If you guys could think outside of the box you could easily come up with a solution for keeping Mercury from evaporating. Say, maybe a pressurized dome for example. Then you can shove your pressure levels up your ass :) Whatever the hypothetical case may be, i'm pretty sure the EPA would be all over him. Even on another planet. Talk about government overreach.

Don't give him ideas! lol

Breaking news: heavy mercury wreckes dam

Would be a lot more effective (compact) than pumped hydro. Don't give environmentalists too many ideas.

That would actually be an amazing video, if Cody could find a turbine that could handle it (small model of course) - I'd love him to help demonstrate the increased power from the denser material falling an equivalent distance to water, and where extra losses may come in!!!

Ooh, yes, this! A pelton wheel of murcury! It'd sound like a spandau on crank. Toxic electro-motive joy!

thehipmyster Underrated. This would be an amazing experiment.

After that: A SpaceX Falcon 9

Or a golden car

how did u see this vid 4 days ago bruh?

When it was posted on Patreon days ago.

sometimes my grandad lets me poo in his garden

Tom Slade what the fuck?

MCPOONSMASHER Esquire yeah watching him has helped me to remember why I chose separate sciences in school, before the school beat the interest out of me

it floats just a lot less so.

I called it!

This video was uploaded today How did you comment on it FOUR DAYS AGO?!

Released not uploaded.

I see. Thank you for clearing that up!

Geon George And then realise its some older material. But its new to us

Melvin Jansen Doesn't matter. It's still new to me

Lol. Yeah. I had that same feeling.

@C Maybe that's only 5 percent of the worlds population mate get over yourself

It would deform pretty rapidly but would be a nice test. I could see some Steampunk Empire's upper class using them XD

There is already a record molded out of gold and it is currently on its way out of the solar system. It played just fine before it left earth...and is probably still in mint condition considering Voyager is still sending signals. The More You Know...

he just want some of that fortune.

Pseudo Memes Indeed my friend,black magic maybe.

x9x9x9x9x9 how did you edit that 4 days ago

rwl 04 patreon. I like to support the people I watch frequently on patreon which has benefits of getting early access to some videos.

*imperial march intensifies*

Because why would someone make a video which the other 95% of humanity using normal units can understand too, right? I have absolutely no idea what a gallon even is supposed to be, not even talking about the cubic potatos ...

Georg Hammerschmid 4.546 litres

** Us customary units - the US of course doesn't use the imperial units that its system was based upon, not the Si-Units :P

oh, 4 potatos? That's a lot. Got it now :-P

Reiss Cashmore He did a while back. If I remember correctly, his levels were actually on the lower end of normal. Cody is just as safe if not more than he has ever been.

Mercury will FUK U UP Cody, b careful.

elemental mercury is fine, its dimethyl mercury you want to worry about.

Bodie Hw - sodium too!

he doesnt live anywhere near the ocean lol

Probably, though I think it would greatly depend on how deep it was (too far down and the pressure outside the can will be greater than the pressure inside and the mercury will enter the can instead of the air escaping).

Canned "air" is usually something like propane or butane in the can.

nope it's usually refrigerant, there's no way in hell they would allow propane/butane to be used as a "air" can EDIT: well it turns out they used to be butane/propane in the past but they stopped using it

Witgang Younotube all aerosol cand typically use propane or butane as they can be a liquid at the cans pressure. Propane is also a refrigerant, called R290, I use it a bit. If by refrigerant you mean the massively dangerous ones that cause green houses, and previous ones that degrade the ozone layer, they do not use them, at all, to do so is a massive crime in civilised counties.

Joshua, please do some research before replying (at the very least read the introduction to the wikipedia article I linked). No, they do not use flammable propellants, and no, the fluorocarbons they use do not deplete the ozone layer. They ARE a greenhouse gas, but they are pretty insignificant compared to the carbon dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere (they don't "cause greenhouses" though, greenhouses are glass buildings). Incidentally butane is ALSO a greenhouse gas, as are the products of its combustion. From the article: "Ozone layer depletion: Gas dusters sold in many countries are ozone safe as they use "zero ODP" (zero ozone depletion potential) gases; tetrafluoroethane, for example, has insignificant ODP. This is a separate issue from the global warming concern."

Yes.

Except it wouldn’t go very deep

An aluminium boat!! :-D

I guess you mean unmixable fluids? The liquids would separate so the boat would only float on the less dense. if this liquid would be dense enough for it to float on that is. If it's not your boat would continuously sink deeper until you get to a liquid that is dense enough.

Carsten Koch each liquid was it's own scenario. What he said is accurate

Jerry McFletcher I miss What If on xkcd.

Daniel Foster oh xkcd is a Chanel. Thaught it was just an abbreviation. My bad!

same

? what

Opposite would be blender in a mercury with a lid

Ian glad you silly poopoo

very @@good-content

Imagine not using metric

The metric system is poopy peeper bummm bum

How many bathtubs is this?
