If you're on mobile... I would move along. Gratuitous GIFS are involved.

Ballistic Gelatin (AKA fake flesh)

Sugar

A bar of soap

Non-Newtonian fluid (AKA probably Corn Starch and water)

Sand

Beer

A watermelon

A cup (or two) of honey

a block of dry ice

Wax (AKA a huge ass candle)

Ice

A rib-eye steak

Glue

A bowl of Jell-O

A gargantuan gummy bear...

the same gargantuan gummy bear...

Oh bother...

Annnnd styrofoam (prepare for hnnnnnnng)

Cat tax

Bonus cat tax and Worcestershire https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgNjCSGFfYetqrZxlYiU8yWaBs-XMmdqg

These aren't as fun to watch without the satisfying plip noise when he turns off the fire.

That is not true at all. Watermelons mechanical properties don't breakdown, unlike say, ice at high temp. heat cap. & k value don't matter.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No, it actually is true. The cell structure keeps the H20 from heating evenly, as it can't move around from the convective forces, it buffer

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

s the heat transfer and the reason it does it so well is precisely the high specific heat capacity of water.
