  • Have you heard of the periodic table, Derek?
  • Give me an example.
  • AL for aluminium.
  • SI for silicon.
  • Amazing!
  • Uh...
  • Quartz!
  • Is that on the periodic table?
  • Our axe is not on the periodic table, but it is two-tone, and it does have a hardened steel edge.
  • The big question today is, what can this big fella do to the periodic table?
  • We're gonna start with the weakest.
  • Not necessarily the weakest, but the less densest.
  • Ah, yes.
  • So this is one gram per cubic centimetre.
  • I don't know what sort of plastic it is, but it's the most thickest bit of plastic I've ever seen.
  • I think it's in trouble.
  • All right, here we go.
  • Oh, two chunks!
  • That is a clean cut!
  • Ah, it's about half as heavy.
  • Was there a little bit of resistance?
  • Let's roll that slowly and then go to the next one.
  • Gawson, tell me about silicon.
  • Not to be mistaken with silicon with an E. You think about that.
  • Just let some oxygen go into your nostrils.
  • You've just found the most common element in the world.
  • This is number two.
  • 2.3 grams per cubic metre.
  • Centimetre.
  • Centimetre.
  • So, 230% increase in density to the plastic.
  • All right, nice.
  • Big.
  • Is it meant to be strong?
  • Silicon?
  • Yeah.
  • Heck no.
  • It's very good at insulating electricity.
  • I'll tell you what I like about silicon, honestly.
  • It knows who it is and it knows who it isn't.
  • So your prediction in this case would be it's going to...
  • Chop in half.
  • Two halves.
  • Nice.
  • Let's freaking learn something, boys.
  • What do you reckon?
  • Here's one for education, eh?
  • Hit the bell, bell.
  • Bye bye.
  • Yeah.
  • Bounce.
  • Give that a whiff, boys.
  • Give it a whiff.
  • Do I have to?
  • I don't know if you're really meant to, eh?
  • It's worth it.
  • I
  • Can't wait for who's up next.
  • I think it's this man.
  • Derek.
  • Oh, he's researching.
  • Silicon was 2.3 grams.
  • This is 2.4 grams per cubic centimetre.
  • So just a slight upgrade.
  • Oh, obsidian.
  • Why did Michael write it like that?
  • I don't know.
  • He definitely deliberately misspelt it.
  • Tell me about obsidian.
  • Educate me, Derek.
  • It's an igneous rock.
  • Oh. Formed from molten lava.
  • Generally is found in black, but in rare forms.
  • You can find it in mahogany or gold.
  • Maho.
  • I beat us out on gold, boys.
  • Back in the olden days, they used to use it for tools like spear tips, arrowheads and stuff like that.
  • We smashed a cube of this stuff with our giant hammer a while back.
  • Do you want to tell me, is it strong?
  • Is it going to survive?
  • No, I think it's going to shatter.
  • Oh, a nice reflection here.
  • And I can see you do a dance.
  • Woo.
  • Cargo balls.
  • Yeah.
  • There's bits everywhere.
  • Mahogany.
  • Can be sharp and can be rainbow.
  • Can you see that?
  • It's very glassy, isn't it?
  • It's like a shell on the sea.
  • Next up, we have a surprise inclusion.
  • Pykrete.
  • Welcome to the channel, Pykrete.
  • You've been asking for it for a long time.
  • It's basically water mixed with either sawdust or paper to make a really strong ice block.
  • Dreamed up by Geoffrey Pyke, heads Pykrete, to maybe replace concrete.
  • But it didn't really work.
  • In World War II, he proposed to build a ship and that didn't, wasn't so good.
  • Hey, Geoff, well done, mate.
  • You had a go.
  • You had a go.
  • Let her rip, mate.
  • Take out the Pykrete.
  • You know what?
  • It probably did hold on better than ice.
  • I'm genuinely impressed with the product.
  • It's not bad.
  • What's next, Stanford?
  • 10 kilogram glass sphere.
  • Density, 2.4 grams per cubic centimeter.
  • Oh, same as obsidian.
  • Actually, I've got a good one for you.
  • It's a perfectly elastic material.
  • You cannot permanently bend it.
  • What about when you heat it up?
  • When you heat it up?
  • Yeah, can you bend it when it's hot?
  • I guess you could.
  • Good follow-up question, though.
  • Yeah, I thought it was actually heated.
  • What else can I tell you about?
  • Oh, it's a, oh, if I get this word right, amorphous material.
  • When you hit it, there's no discernible weak point for it to crack down.
  • That's why you get the conical fracturing.
  • It's a cone-o-jony, won't he?
  • Effect again.
  • It's done the same thing.
  • Or the cone-o-jony, or the Hertzian crack.
  • Hertzian.
  • Hertzian.
  • Named after German physicist Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, which is one of the great names.
  • So the real question is, will it cone-o-jony?
  • How would you review Brett's facts then?
  • I'd give him an 8.5, that's very good.
  • Very comprehensive.
  • You really bought into that, yeah.
  • I'm up next with quartz.
  • I'm gonna absolutely wing my way through it.
  • Couldn't tell you a thing about it.
  • Just gonna see what comes.
  • No cone-o-jony, just pure and utter destruction.
  • Jeez, heavy.
  • 19 and a half.
  • Of quartz.
  • What can you tell us?
  • You ready to learn?
  • So ready.
  • Couldn't tell you a thing about it.
  • So quartz, not to be confused with the food court.
  • On my word.
  • No, no, no, we're off to a shaky start.
  • 2.65 grams per cubic centimeter.
  • Boys, when you think of quartz, I want you to throw your mind back to ancient Egypt.
  • Okay?
  • That's where we're starting from.
  • That's the first man by, I think, Horace Benutis.
  • Horace Benutis?
  • Pulled it out of the subcontinental sort of crust, if you wish.
  • And notice how it's quite pretty.
  • Oh, very.
  • Even prettier than you.
  • We know, we know, right?
  • We found it as jewelry in ancient Egypt.
  • And also we know that they used it for their shovels.
  • What?
  • They actually carved this stuff into shovels.
  • That's actually part of the way they widened the Nile River.
  • Can you believe it?
  • I'm trying to.
  • Like just the head or the whole shovel?
  • No, just the head of the shovel.
  • I've seen it.
  • Anyway.
  • And what else do you want to know, boys?
  • I mean, it's very brittle, highly brittle.
  • It's in the top 10 brittle substances, I think, in the earth, I read on one source.
  • People have commented that they want us to do quartz smashing for a reason.
  • That's why I bought it.
  • Do you know what that reason is?
  • Quartz smashing.
  • Yeah.
  • And not the food quartz smashing.
  • Sparks.
  • Oh, yes.
  • Is that a fact?
  • Oh, it absolutely is.
  • And we see that also in ancient Egypt, actually.
  • I'd give him a nine out of 10 for that.
  • I enjoyed yours more, I'll give him a seven.
  • How'd Horace go?
  • Very glassy as well, isn't it?
  • Quartz.
  • Aluminium,
  • Folks, is the most abundant metal on earth.
  • Do you know that?
  • Most abundant?
  • Yep, good start.
  • Most abundant metal on earth.
  • That's not true, is it?
  • Are you going to refute my sources?
  • Yeah, what else teach me, dear?
  • Aluminium, do you think it can rust?
  • No. Correct, it cannot rust.
  • How good's that?
  • It's recyclable.
  • Nice.
  • It's also tensile.
  • Did I get that right?
  • Oh, he's checking.
  • I might have said the wrong word then.
  • Ductile.
  • Ductile.
  • Ductile, completely different.
  • It means you can make it into wire.
  • Is it going to hold up to the axe?
  • Nah.
  • Really?
  • I think it's going to split it.
  • Here we go, for science.
  • Oh wow, it really stopped it.
  • Aluminium's strong.
  • What?
  • No, there's some crackage on the side.
  • What the smoke and smokes is that all about?
  • Some crackage, where?
  • Oh, that's barely crackage.
  • That's not even a crack.
  • That's the mark, but no real damage.
  • Well done, aluminium.
  • I'm going to do the random item next.
  • I'm building a fire and we're going to chop it.
  • Look at this.
  • She's brawling too.
  • I've been cooking up something as well going to.
  • Burger.
  • 15
  • Kilograms of titanium, four and a half grams per cubic centimetre, maybe 4.7. The best ratio of strength to weight.
  • Very good for airplane parts.
  • I think it'll deal with this quite well.
  • Get out of my hood.
  • I need my hood.
  • Finally I had a hood.
  • I need my hood.
  • Where did you just find an arrowhead?
  • You've got to be looking always on the ground.
  • That's lethal.
  • Is that from 3000 BC?
  • Titanium's in place and we've sort of left the fire going.
  • On the theme of fire and sparks, disappointed no sparks from the quartz.
  • Like the viewers, can you explain that?
  • Or do you think we got sold a dud?
  • I am titanium.
  • Charged!
  • There's your spark.
  • You got your spark.
  • Oh, look at the...
  • It's bounced it.
  • Charged!
  • Down it comes.
  • Here it comes.
  • Here it comes.
  • It is off the queue.
  • It was only on one side though.
  • Because it went...
  • That was freaking sick.
  • Wow.
  • So many.
  • Are you sure you didn't get quartz mixed up?
  • That's not quartz.
  • Why only one side?
  • If we put it like a diamond, so that the blade hits it and slides down it, could we potentially just get even more?
  • Bend me, shake me, any way you want.
  • As long as you eat me, because I'm all natural.
  • Cast iron, boys and girls.
  • Which is disguising itself as an anvil.
  • So cast iron is an absolute dog of a thing to weld.
  • People find it notoriously difficult.
  • That's what a website says.
  • Cause, boys, it's very hard.
  • It's like a truckload of carbons in it or something.
  • So what happens is when they heat it up to weld, it cracks.
  • So what I'm thinking, if I may digress here, by the way, what was it?
  • 6.8 or 9.8 grams per cubic centimetre.
  • Stand by.
  • I'm just thinking.
  • I actually think we might crack this thing.
  • 7.9. 7.9, yeah, well, nailed it.
  • You see what I'm saying?
  • Cause it's quite brittle and they can't weld to it.
  • So what I'm saying is we're trying to weld it.
  • Quickly.
  • In a sense.
  • Big welder.
  • Can we do it?
  • Can we do it?
  • Dropped it in half.
  • Next up is copper sphere and Heron's gonna drop some funsies.
  • 8.96 grams per cubic centimetre.
  • Part of the Statue of Liberty's got some copper in it.
  • And it actually oxidised.
  • That's why it turned green.
  • It's the colour it is.
  • Bet you didn't see that fact coming.
  • I can't remember any of the other ones.
  • Cause my late session cramming didn't retain much.
  • It's softer than most, yeah.
  • Where was it founded?
  • In what year BC did the Egyptians first use it?
  • 4,322 BC. And what's with these knobbly bits?
  • The knobbly bits are made by a hammer and the...
  • Have we got a different plate?
  • Alright, let's do it.
  • Gonna throw it like a pancake mix.
  • Serious gas.
  • That's fun.
  • But that's not even close to half way.
  • Big finale is here.
  • The big dog that's actually a small dog but he's real, real heavy.
  • Tungsten is here.
  • It's a really, really, really dense item.
  • Like, real dense.
  • I can't remember the number.
  • It's like 18 point something grams.
  • Maybe 19. Oh, maybe.
  • Between 18 and 19. It's an incredibly rare substance.
  • 80% of it's found in China.
  • It has a really, really, really high melting point.
  • Is it strong?
  • Highest tensile strength of all metals.
  • It's used as a substitute for gold.
  • They used to cheapen the gold by putting tungsten in it.
  • Just in the middle of the bar.
  • It was a bit cheeky.
  • Anyone else want to chuck in a fact?
  • We have a mine in Queensland that pulls this stuff out of the dirt.
  • Oh yeah?
  • And then they shut it down.
  • They said, boys, we're not doing tungey anymore.
  • You don't get enough money for it, you know?
  • This was donkey's money.
  • And then just recently, we've reopened the same mine.
  • Because the price of it's gone back in the tungsten game.
  • Because of all the machinery and stuff that's now being used in it.
  • And now we're born out of the earth again.
  • Our axe is in pretty good shape, actually.
  • This could be the last hit we ever do with the big fella.
  • Are we going to do it?
  • Yes.
  • Yes, we are going to do it.
  • Genuinely?
  • Oh, no.
  • No.
  • I spat out my water.
  • I know, you almost did.
  • It was good delivery from Blossom.
  • It was great delivery.
  • I think we'll get some good chips.
  • But I don't think we're going to shatter it.
  • What happened?
  • What happened?
  • It stopped it.
  • It's holding it up.
  • I think the axe might have finally met its match.
  • Look at that.
  • Give it.
  • Look at that.
  • That's a good chunk.
  • Oh!
  • Sparky galore.
  • That's almost the best shot of the day.
  • That's impressive.
  • What is that?
  • 44 Club, love you.
  • Great vid.
  • Have a good.
  • See you next time.
