An anvil floats in mercury
(13) | 01/06/2018 | Translate: The user Cody Don placed an anvil 50 kg into a basin with mercury, to show us that the anvil floats. This phenomenon occurs because the mercury density is almost twice the density of iron. Also, the density difference is such, makes the anvil floating mercury much more easily than a stick in the water.

Making cement from ash The Australian user Primitive Technology, It creates a kind of cement using wood ash and tile. After mixing the ash with water, its warm again and mixes it with tile in water. The final mixture is solidified after several hours and becomes very hard, like cement.- How to make charcoal in the forest The user of the Primitive Technology channel, He shows us the old charcoal creation method, with the use of a dyke. Coal is a fuel that Burns at higher temperatures than the wood from which it is made. This is because the initial steps of burning remove volatile components of wood (as water and resin). The result is a virtually clean fuel that burns with the highest temperature of the wood, smoke-free and with less flame.
- Millions of fish on the shore Huge schools of fish flood the coast of the Philippines' Saranggani province. This strange phenomenon may be the result of an oceanic process in which colder water is pushed to the surface of the ocean, bringing nutrients, including plankton, the diet of these young fish. As a result, fish were trapped in shallower areas, reaching the shore.
- Building a simple hydrogen generator The user of Youtube "Skill Make", he shows us how he makes a generator from old batteries that decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen, to create hydrogen gas.
- Playing hopscotch on a slippery surface A group of friends play hopscotch by different rules, on a slippery plastic mat. The player should carry a basin of water and empty it at the goal.
- Rainbow on a cloud On August 21, 2022, residents of the city of Haikou in Hainan Province in China were able to observe an iridescent cloud. Iridescent clouds are a diffraction phenomenon caused by small water droplets or small ice crystals scattering individual light. The light refracts giving the cloud a colored appearance.

- A dog plays alone with a stick In Baggs, Wyoming, a Border Collie has fun throwing a stick into an irrigation canal and then runs through the grass to catch it a little further by jumping into the water. He then returns to continue the game.

- LEGO against balloon with water TikTok user Jimmyzou, place LEGO figures in a circle, and then dropped a balloon filled with water in the center of the circle. The balloon falls on a needle and pops, while the LEGO figures fall at the same time when I hit them with water.

- A frozen fish comes back to life Experiment with a fish that has been frozen and thrown into a basin of water. After a few minutes, the fish thaws and returns to life. Many Arctic fish, Antarctica and the North have evolved to adapt to such conditions. Some types of cod, flounder and other polar fish have a reduced metabolic rate and can produce specific hormones with antifreeze properties. These hormones are called glycoproteins and reduce the freezing point of fluids in the body., which allows them to be kept at low temperatures for a short time.
- A dog makes a big dive In Vancouver, Canada, a passer-by records a dog diving from a great height into the water to catch a stick. The owner explains that he likes to do this. It started when it was a puppy and gradually jumped to a higher altitude as in the video. The dog was adopted from a shelter and is believed to be the result of a cross between a pitbull and a labrador.

- Why should not you put water on an anvil Blacksmiths often take pictures as they strike a metal at the anvil, with a spark bursting everywhere. This explosion effect is created by putting water on the anvil, heating steel to its melting point and then tapping the steel on the anvil. The blow creates a blast of steam that launches many sparks, but it is quite noisy and dangerous.
Did You know that the vapour of mercury is very toxic? Poor boy…
First of all, the mercury boils at over 350 degrees Celsius and only a few atoms have evaporated (and few atoms do almost nothing because the absorption time is very high) , then he too is not stupid and does not stand directly with his nose above the mercury and also the mercury is much denser than the air so the vapors are basically stuck to the ground, quindi il ragazzo non si è fatto quasi nulla…
This is “the force of gravity”, only density.
