I have a pound of mercury and that was hard to get. You did inherit a lot of that correct?

I like this vid much better!

A lot yes and I keep finding more, just the other day I found a dish soap bottle full of it in one of the old cars. But I’ve purchased a lot also; about half of what you see here.

I know you are not a mad movie scientist. But you kinda got the props and science for it. So a mountain lair... I mean fallout shelter in the works soon?

LOL that was great, can't wait to see the full edit of this. Keep it up Cody!

You never quite look as happy as when you're playing with a preposterous amount of mercury!

Will you have to distill it again now?

Very cool Cody.

Just like a kid splashing around in a super dense, very toxic pool! Which kind of makes me want to see it in a sprinkler, like how kids jump through sprinklers...

Probably not. Iron is essentially insoluble in mercury.

Well I did some research and it makes sense there is no gas dense enough to sink in liquid. I wonder if you couldn't replicate the scenario in some way to see if a plant will grow from air through water.

pure liquid mercury like this isn't toxic. It needs to vaporize or become a compound with something, and then it can become VERY toxic.

Cody, I loved seeing the mercury slide & dribble across the anvil back into the container. It was so shiny, beautiful and fascinating the way it separates!

There is, but you have to get it to a high pressure. Cody has done it in his "Can You Float a Liquid on a Gas?" video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsP4yMY-a6U&amp;t=996s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsP4yMY-a6U&amp;t=996s</a>

You might want to mention the somewhat unbelievable fact that you mined and refined this mercury... no?

Anonymous

iirc his grandfather acquired most of it though Cody did re-distill some of it

Have you ever tried making a mercury parabolic mirror by putting the mercury in a rotating bowl? I'm not sure how easy it is to make a lens suitable for imaging with that method, but I'd imagine it would be possible to use it for setting things alight, if the sun was overhead.
