SCIENCE MEETS ART in this really cool video you are about to watch. YouTube’s “The Backyard Scientist” demonstrates how adding polymer beads to water creates an environment that will allow molten aluminum to turn into magnificent pieces of sculpture.
When he pours 10,000 tiny polymer beads into an aquarium filled with water, the beads absorb the water, becoming nearly 200 times their weight! They provide an environment for the molten aluminum that he dangerously heats, to be transformed.
He amusingly interviews his dog, providing him with protective goggles which he reluctantly dons a pair for himself as well, and then procedes to throw the molten aluminum inside the tank of water.
You simply won’t believe your eyes as the aluminum becomes solid and he removes each unique piece from the large tank. Voila! Instant truly beautiful coral-like sculptures that I, myself, would like to own. Let us know what you think.
Have you ever seen anything like this before? Enjoy! 🙂

This Guy Pours Molten Aluminum Into His Watermelon. The Result Is An Awesome Surprise!
Sometimes the most unexpected scientific experiments can produce art?! Now that winter is finally over and we are getting close to watermelon season let’s watch an awesome science experiment! “The Backyard Scientist” of YouTube fame wanted to see what would happen if he heated up aluminum and poured it into a water-melon that had been partially hollowed out. What made him come out with the idea? He was expecting an explosion.
Well, that is not what happened. The molten aluminum found its way through the watermelon through tiny channels that “connected the seed chambers to each other, and this caused this awesome casting to happen”, said the experimenter. Unintentional art was the result! Mother Nature works in mysterious ways and this watermelon experiment is no exception.
The most intricate casting occurred, which resulted in sculptures that many modern art lovers would be pleased to own. I wonder how much this would go for at the right art auction? Anyway enjoy this awesome experiment, show the kids and remember, don’t try this at home!
