The correct answer was “D” and the winners were selected randomly, using http://www.random.org, from the list of everyone who answered correctly and submitted their email addresses to qualify.

In this video I’m giving away 3 electrified plasma balls, to 3 different winners.

“MindBender Trivia” is really just an excuse to give away some cool prizes. Pick your answer at 0:53 to qualify for the drawing, or choose below.

This video was not directly sponsored by Vat19, but I like their stuff, so am giving them some free promotion. 🙂

Extra info:

I’m always interested in ways to give back where I can, and for over a year I’ve wanted to have some fun giving away random prizes. Finally I’m in a position where I can make this happen!

My goal is to be able to do this once a week, or perhaps even more.

These videos are made to be supplemental, and shouldn’t take away from regular project videos or quick clips. Instead, they are bonus videos simply made to recognize and give back to you, my loyal supporters.

Thanks much for being a random citizen. And whether or not you win anything, please know I appreciate having you on board, and am excited to see what crazy cool things we can do together in the future.

This was an original idea (original to me anyway)

WARNING: Microwaving gummy bears will produce a very hot and sticky syrup that can burn skin. This project should be done with adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, may result in serious injury. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

2 years ago, one of my brothers gave me a set of Star Wars ice cube trays. But rather than using them for ice cubes, I wanted to try something different.

I typically make my own gummy recipe and make LEGO gummies with a custom mold I made a few years ago, but this time I got a bag full of gummy bears to make it even easier.

I have always melted them on the stove, on low heat, but that was taking upwards of 10 minutes. So I randomly tried putting a batch in the microwave for a few seconds, and was amazed by the result.

Just a few seconds in the microwave is all it takes to make a cup full of molten gummy syrup. I don’t go longer than 15 seconds at a time because if you go too long, the syrup will start boiling and bubbling up out of the container, making a big sticky mess in the microwave.

In some cases, 15 seconds is all it takes. But if that’s not long enough to melt everything, try another 10-15 seconds.

I recommend using a glass container for melting the gummies. Plastics could melt or warp.

This idea could be adapted to make custom gummies of any shape and size. Enjoy!

Project Inspired By:

This foundry is an original design, which comes after months of experimenting, and over 10 different prototypes. The functionality is founded on ideas I collected while searching the internet for foundry designs.

WARNING: Charcoal foundries can reach temperatures in excess of 1,000ºC, which is well above the melting point of hobbyists. This project should only be attempted with adequate knowledge and training, proper protective safety gear, and in a fire resistant area with adequate ventilation. The sparks flying from the foundry can ignite fires, and the fumes from burning dross can be toxic. Use caution and common sense. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

This video is a quick overview of how I made my backyard foundry.

The insulating lining probably isn’t as resilient or long-lasting as a refractory cement, but it can be made quickly and cheaply with very common materials.

In my experience, the sand/plaster lining is durable and lasts long enough to satisfy any backyard hobbiest, so long as you’re gentle and respect the foundry. Slight cracking may occur after a few firings, and that’s normal and doesn’t affect performance significantly. I haven’t had to replace a lining yet, but if you wanted to, it would be really easy to knock out the plaster, and mix up a new batch, reusing the steel pail.

I made 10 different prototypes and experimented with various ratios of portland cement, sand, perlite, plaster of paris, water, and even kitty litter. I ended up favoring the galvanized steel pail, and a mix of 50% plaster of paris, and 50% play sand, by volume, which was inspired by a video by NightHawkInLight “How to Make a Soup Can Forge” http://bit.ly/IBSoupCanForge

All my materials were from Home Depot. One bag of play sand ($3), and one bag of plaster of paris ($16) are enough to make 2 complete furnaces with lids. The steel pails were $10 each, the U-bolts were $1.50 each, the plastic buckets were $2.27, making the total cost for two of these furnaces $46.54 ($23.27 each). Spray paint is an optional touch, and I used “Burnished Amber” to give mine the forged bronze look you see at the end of the video.

Full step by step instructions will be in the tutorial on January 13th

The purpose of my backyard foundry is to demonstrate the most basic setup for casting metals. However if you plan to attempt this approach yourself, some important things to consider beforehand are as follows;

– Soda cans work really well, however aluminum cans are one of the worst sources for aluminum to cast with, and some soda cans in the UK are actually made of steel. The alloy was meant for extrusion, so is not the best for casting. They also produce more dross (slag) because the thin walls oxidize quickly and the plastic coatings on the cans add impurities. A better source of aluminum for casting would be cast aluminum items from thrift stores, like electric skillets or small engine blocks from lawnmower shops.

– The crucible I used was steel, but it’s important to note that steel can be soluble in molten aluminum. It’s possible that when you lift the crucible out of the foundry, the bottom can dissolve out and drop molten aluminum onto you feet and onto the ground. A good refractory crucible can be purchased for about $30 online.

– Lastly, casting over concrete poses risks of steam explosions. If molten aluminum falls to the ground, it can superheat the moisture in the concrete and cause it to spall (steam explosion) where the aluminum lands. This can potentially send hot concrete and molten aluminum spraying everywhere. When possible, melt and pour metal over sand to minimize risks.

Note: Wearing polyester gloves like the ones I had in the video is risky because the material can melt into your hands if you get splashed by hot aluminum. This can potentially leave burns where the metal lands, ringed by plastic burned into the skin.
