I'd love to buy this guy's products but when I buy his paste it's almost dry when it comes out of the tube at home. I'd like the paste to have a little bit more viscosity. It's great to learn about the liquid metal product and the production process. I have been under idea it was more a hype word product than actual metal being liquid because the only liquid metal I know is mercury in analog thermometers and highly toxic. Gallium and indium reacting like noodle soup... So todays liquid metal will eat my CPU like an alien from an 80's movie when its oxidizing and being hydroscopic under that CPU in my moist mancave basement when it goes through the chrome finish of the copper contact plate of the cooler. TBD right
And yes now we must see what happens with those powders when they oxidize and self combust for science so we do not have to do that at home because we are curious motherflowers
Yeap German perfectly butchered

Another setup that can be perfected with Electric plasma generated Ultrasound technology. Search Engine: Acoustic holograms quickly assemble objects from particles or cells Ultrasound see viruses turn genes on and off Extreme 3D printing and Medical technology. Good enough system grab anything it can see = Is so small that you would not get it back out of your lungs. AHEM.. Small WONDERFUL.. Points at Ultrasound proliferation of Stem Cells and Stem Cell guidance to speed up healing They smaller.. Means less force to move. Taps Ultrasound scanner medical safety filters for frequencies They already know everything I say.. They just a little slow finding out what it means. Squints at Replicator in Star Trek and slides eyes to Elysium Medical bed Dust to Dust..

I LOVE the fact that Steve is not shying away from learning other languages, which, in the US, is such a speciality/feature rather than it being the norm.
Didn't realise that you knew German as well as Mandarin.
That's AWESOME!!!
When I first heard it, I thought that you were being coached by Roman for how to read the the ad, in German. But the more I listened to it, and how naturally it was read, this wasn't a one off.
I am also amazed by Roman (der8auer) and how lean his entire operation is. It's so cool that he's a material scientist/engineer first.
It helps me to build a LOT more confidence in his products.

I didn't expect a short course on metallurgy but it was very interesting and good questions were being asked. These videos offer plenty of knowledge. I have no use for liquid metal, but I suppose even regular thermal paste requires this type of knowledge. Roman is no joke and a lot different from what I thought when he had his cats chilling on the set. That is some heavy responsibility to run a company like that. This was a fine video and I enjoyed every minute of it. No fluff, at all.

Suprisingly coherent german. Props to that. Small note on that Hochschule is not Highschool, but basically a more applied version of University.
There is no proper term for highschool since germany doesnt have anything similar. Upper years are separated at year 5 into Gymnasium to take a later university degree, Hauptschule to get an apprenticeship usually in craftsmanship and Realschule for anything in between.
Also an amazing video. Love it. Very informational.

I love these factory tours. It's not like I'm gonna remember all of the science behind it - but it's still so incredibly exciting to see how this stuff works!
As a German, also huge thumbs up to Hyte and Steve for the German ad. I don't usually pay attention to sponsors because there's a high chance it's not available for me anyway. This ad will at least work in making me rembember the brand, well done Hyte, haha.

I know this sorta of journey must run you up all sorts of crazy costs.... But to be honest, I think this was one of the best videos I have watched. You build a lot of computers use materials etc, understanding this process gives you a huge perspective on how amazing these people truly are with what they are doing! Cheers Steve and team! (well done on teh linguistic skills!)

omg, that Hyte ad really got me. First I thought it was chinese. Had to rewind to realise, it was german. Didn't get it befor Steve said Ypsilon siebzig. Funny how brains work. I was so focused to expect english, that it really took some seconds. And I am german. born in Germany, living in Germany. That's crazy. But once the switch flipped: great job speaking german, Steve.

One thing that I found interesting is when the technician was handling the Gallium he did it with his bare hands, before he touched the Indium he put on gloves, we were told years ago that handling metal like this would contaminate it from the oil from your skin. Or is this you can handle one and not the other due to radiation or a different type of contaminant.

Perfectly stated for the application. Considering they are creating a metal alloy, not too far removed from welding, argon is the go to gas for the reason of cost. Nitrogen meets food safety requirements in the US and many other countries, and then helium as another example is far more expensive than the others per cubic meter.

2:55... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! AAAYE, GOOD JOB!! I didn't even watch the subtitles and I understood mostly lol. Gotta admit tho, the accent lol!! But u said it all in true german structure so, I KNOW u got some german assistance with that! Even I speak it in english (american) structure cuz it's just, natural), but good job!

ZnO nanoparticles in the air shouldn't be too bad since while we tend to say it's water insoluble it's really soluble enough that I can't imagine it would hang out in the lungs all that long. I'd worry much more about carbon nanotubes due to the high aspect ratio and size that is really quite similar to slivers of asbestos.

Thank you from germany! Very rarely buying stuff from people on the internet, but GN being a notable exception because it's also useful stuff (like mod-, mouse- and solder-mats), and I couldn't help getting the snowflake dice

I think Hyte just wanted to have some fun testing Steve’s german pronunciation. BTW very interesting video on the chemistry of liquid metal. Though one question I was left with was, are cooling solutions with copper plates then not recommended for liquid metal

I know this video is all about liquid metal and stuff but the way Roman's employer wears that apron triggered something in me that I never knew existed. The neck strap needs to go higher! An apron is meant to cover your your chest as well!

Steve, your mandarin is way better than your German. It even sounded bad to me and I'm English.
It was kinda fun though. Love the actual content too. And remember next time, don't ask can we try it Just do it!

I know you said these kinds of videos are underperformers, But I for one love all these factory tours. I like seeing how stuff is made. Appreciate all your work to make these. The german ad read was amazing!.....lol

Honestly, I'm surprised that liquid metal products are allowed on airplanes at all. I'm sure thermal grizzly packaging is perfectly safe, but I'm surprised the airplane safety people could be convinced of that.

22:42 i feel like it would not be too terribly difficult to automate that step. Mechanically screw on a new syringe, pop it off, and measure it's mass. Maybe adding the caps to them would be a bit difficult.

If you haven't, add GN to your SponsorBlock whitelist. Entirely, fully, definitively worth it. That ad read was brilliant.
And, really, really good. Love the little mandarin flex - just cuz. :3
