So if I used this spoon in the tropics where daytime temps are over 30degC, the spoon would simply melt every day and solidify every night?

Noo the spoon is made of gallium and aluminium alloy Aluminum is actually a quite reactive metal ,it readily react with water The spoon is covered with oxides of metals so they donot directly expose to the atmosphere. When this spoon dipped in water the aluminum oxides layer can't form thus enabling the aluminium react with water

The spoon will melt every time you try to put it in your mouth cuz it melts at 29°c and your body temperature is around 37°c

I made a gallium spoon once, and since my coworker had just made new coffee, I poured myself a cup and put the spoon in and began to stir. After the spoon had begun to melt, I took it out and shouted "What the fuck Josh, how hot is this coffee? Why the hell would you make it so hot? Are you trying to make me FUCKIN DIE when I drink it?" Needless to say, he was very confused, and I'd say that overall it was a success.

Reminds me of what happened when I tried to eat aunties curry. Except I was using a stainless steel spoon.

Just reading the book "The Disappearing Spoon" by Sam Kean, all about the periodic table but written so well that even I am entertained by chemistry and physics. He describes this joke in one of the early chapters.

It's a nerd thing. And besides, the spoons are pretty interesting to chemistry teachers (melting point demonstrations, etc.)

that spoon dissovled faster than my relationship

That's a quite good April Fools joke. Just replace dad's coffee spoon ....

Imagine trying to drink soup with this and you just see a shiny puddle of grey in your bowl.

This reminds me of the Tom and Jerry episodes when the spoon melts in tea

So awesome! This video is totally going to make my "Adopt an Element" research project!! I might even get my own spoon :)

that looks like the stuff the terminator is made of from the second one :D

2 questions how the hell do you mold it back to a spoon? (without it going everywere) and how much are they because this is pretty dam cool :)

You fool! You fell for one of the classic blunders!

@132456ish: when it's molten, it still is a metal. Metal can be in a solid, liquid and even gaseous form depending on temperature. it melts at 30C/86F, and boils at 2204C/4000F.

a gallium spoon can be bent, but if it's done too fast it will break like glass. If you'd drop a gallium spoon, it will break apart into shards

Oh that's really cool. Didn't know much about the properties of gallium. That's really fun watching it melt. It almost looks like Mercury in its melted form, but unlike it, its not toxic XD. Thanks for sharing your demonstration. I'm wondering considering you might know on this subject more than I. What purposes can gallium be used for?

@surispliff5241

12 years later maybe you know lol but gallium is used in electronic circuit and some application due to its property face to pressure (gallium tend to melt under high pressure, like water. While most others materials tend to solidify under high pressure)

Pretty much guarantees we can't have that kind of spoon where I come from.

Honey, my spoon melted again!

Fuller Brush Man did that,he showed a demo how a brush handle can be turned into a stabbing weapon and after it was done put the brush back in boiling water to retain it molded shape.

Woooah that was cool totally wasn't expecting that! lol my mouth went :O

Plot twist: it's a gallium spoon.

@ZangetsuBullet: a gallium spoon weighs about 14 grams, but you would need around 20, otherwise it's difficult to handle with the syringe

That actually made me laugh.

you are brilliant!

They are often used by scientists for a typical prank where they give them to people to stir their tea and the spoon melts into the tea. So there's one use :P

lol Thanks for the cool prank at the end.. I wasn't even thinking it but now I am.

*goes to a coffe shop and buy a cup of hot coffee and replace spoon with gallium spoon*'HEY!MY COFFEE IS TOO HOT!MY SPOON MELT'

I didn't even think of his prank until he mentioned it. i think I'll try it out

What?!?!? Omg that's amazing.

@Jameslikespudding: you could let the gallium solidify in the water, and then take the lump out. Why would you need to boil the water?

my mental health but it's a spoon

@AiAiTheMonkey: ordinary spoons usually don't melt in a cup of warm water. Otherwise, they look the same

Much love Chuck.

your friend: yeah just let me stir my tea *stirs tea* your friend: wtf you: LOOOL

I would give that to a friend next time he's mixing his sugar into his coffee :P

*marketer* "It's just a simple spoon... and you see, this is why it is not microwavable."

@Meyutch The spoons are used in the classroom to teach about the melting points of the elements and such, so there's a use for them.

I clicked on an ad of a KZread video, which led me to another KZread video. And that's this video.

that's pretty cool.

Моя эизнь теперь никогда не будет прежней))))

this is freakin cool.

Glad you noticed!

Omfg cool I am looking forward to getting some of this stuff (not with spoon mold tho)

@antonioamdpaula: Because gallium is a metal, it's a good conductor of heat; it partially cools down my fingers, and absorbs heat. It takes longer to melt than let's say a spoon made of chocolate (poor conductor of heat)

that's the most unscientific thing I've heard all day!

Gallium looks like the stuff from Terminator 2. Lol

Top 10 anime plot twist.

How did you prevent it from sticking? What kind of cup did you use?

You see kids, there's this thing called "sarcasm"...

Hahaha ima give one of those spoons to my dad when hes drinking coffee

I warned you not to touch my icecream spoon...

@ege1993 Actually yes, gallium will do that. There's a video on here of someone holding a stick of gallium, and some smaller bits of it, in his hand for about 5 minutes and it does eventually melt in his hand.

That's some terminator 2 shit right there.

@01318ip: gallium is a metal (good conductor of heat) so the heat tends to distribute evenly throughout the spoon, and partially cool my fingers. It takes longer for the surface to melt than let's say a spoon made of chocolate (very poor conductor)

@antonioamdpaula true but it's not hot enough to melt it very quickly and either way 37.5 c is your core body temp not the temp of your extremities

Is it easier or harder to bent a galium spoon than a steel apoon?

@chuckles1252 well you know how cool metals get brittle because they are too frozen...does gallium get stronger the more cold it gets? like is it a metal that should be used in winter?cold temperature places.

its like that liquid metal dude in terminator xD

@gamer5122: since gallium is a metal, it's a very good conductor of heat. The heat of my hand is readily absorbed and distributed through the spoon, and the spoon partially cools my fingers. If it were made of chocolate, it would melt a lot faster because chocolate conducts heat very poorly.

Where did you get a pure gallium spoon?

so THATS how chuck norris cuts a hot knife with butter...he cuts a gallium knife :D

That looks like something out of terminator 2!

@ZEROskater9898 I don't think the T-1000 was made of gallium... But they did melt him in molten steel, if I remember correctly.

ill using this in the restaurant!

@Jameslikespudding when he says solidify it he mean cool it down. put some ice in the water and reduce the temp and the gallium will become solid again

That bald kid from the matrix wasnt bullshitting

@dylanpdx: simply let it solidify! in that respect gallium is like any metal, it will solidify, and you can retrieve it from the water and recast.

if you freeze it does it get stronger?

How do I remove the gallium? If i pour the water wouldn't I accidentally pour away the gallium as well?

damn.....thats a shiny spoon

@RhythmzWoW: Because it melts at 86F and the label said so when I purchased it

oh god, the T1000 has returned

Gallium's melting point is about 86°F (30°C). The skin on his hand was probably more around 65-70°F.

you can melt gallium in your hand

Is it safe to drink the water after since the gallium sinks to the bottom of the glass?

He likes it, actually

Yes, which is why it's not safe to stir tea/coffee/other with it since there's a risk of swallowing the metal. If you eat with it, the spoon will dissolve in your mouth, since body temp is roughly 98.6 degrees Farenheit.

Now how do you get it out of the water

@HugeDeek you could just wait for it to freeze and then fish it out with a spoon (unless that was your last one)

who else came here because of a video of old man doing this saying this is acid dudes and at the end he drinked it

If the melting point is 30 degrees C and body temperature is 37 degrees, would it melt on your fingers as you held it?

Stiring drink. "WHERE THE HECK DID MY FAVORITE SPOON GO!?"

Would be one heck of a way to get your tea to get a metallic after taste after stirring the sugar wouldn’t you say?

So this is how David Blaine did the melting nickel trick

Can you please explain what is that solution.
