Next week kids, fun with nuclear radiation!
#2: Yeah–it’s called the Sun.
SF6 barf. Yeah, hate it when that happens.
And there go the brain cells.
We were warned that heavy gases can keep oxygen OUT of your lungs and suffocate you. You might have to turn upside down to purge your lungs. Do not try that at home. Any helium is often time not medical grade, but might contain other welding gases which can cause you harm as well. Just not worth the risk to sound like a clown.
His white lab coat means everything is OK. The science is in.
Shut up, Pedro. You’re boring.
Lab coat guy needs adult supervision. I thought I was watching a potential Darwin Awards℠ winner.
I was wondering if there is a naturally occurring appropriately radioactive isotope of S, such that (radioactive) SF6 it can be centrifuged out and slowly concentrated so that we could build an S bomb.
Would this bomb be really smelly?
2 minutes of my life that I will never get back. God what kind of a total geek do you have to be to enjoy this crap. FAIL.
If the S6F gas was settling in the bottom of his lungs, why was it affecting his voice? It’s not the gas in your lungs but the gas flowing past your vocal chords that changes your pitch. I suspect a few deep breaths would have cleared it out as well (or better) than turning somersaults.
Tell your grand kids about Helium, they will never have access to it.
Out of the mine, up into space.
This was quite underwhelming! The blooper is the barf scene? Better to post vid’s from the fail site.
And next week we’ll be using the lab assistant to show why it’s a bad idea to smoke and do this with hydrogen.
So I assume this wouldn’t work in a dirigible. Silly comment, but I wanted to use the word dirigible.
#6 You use hydrogen in welding. Helium? I don’t think so.
#18 — helium is an important shielding gas used in aluminum welding
Thanks for the laugh. That guys a total geek, but then so am I. A good one.
