In today's video,

在今天的视频中，

we're taking a look at what happens when you combine super glue with a warm borax solution. 語法

我们来看看把502胶水和温热的硼砂溶液混合会发生什么。

The result will surprise you,

结果会让你大吃一惊，

and I'm not saying that in a clickbait way. 用詞

我这么说绝不是为了吸引眼球。

I mean,

我的意思是，

it surprised the heck out of me, 習語

连我都惊呆了，

so it'll probably surprise you too.

所以可能也会让你大吃一惊。

Here's the basic idea. 表達脈絡

基本的想法是这样的。

We'll dissolve some borax into some hot water

我们将把一些硼砂溶解在热水中，

and then we'll add super glue to it in increasingly large quantities. 短語搭配

然后往里面加入越来越多量的502胶水。

We'll then watch what happens when we introduce a large quantity of our super glue into the borax solution very rapidly.

接着我们来看看如果我们非常快速地将大量502胶水倒入硼砂溶液中会发生什么。

First,

首先，

let's get a pot of hot water and add our borax.

我们拿一锅热水加入硼砂。

Warm borax solution

温热的硼砂溶液，

and an eyedropper full of cyanoacrylate or super glue.

和满满一滴管的氰基丙烯酸酯，即502胶水。

The super glue catalyzes immediately on contact with the boric acid, 短語搭配

502胶水一接触到硼酸就会立刻催化，

and it comes out in these really cool patterns

并形成这些非常酷的图案，

that just kind of look like pieces of plastic floating through water

看起来就像漂在水里的一块块塑料，

or maybe pieces of coral or something organic.

或者像是珊瑚之类的有机物碎片。

I don't know.

我也不知道。

It's really bizarre.

真的很奇怪。

At this point,

此时，

they're also completely catalyzed.

它们也完全被催化了。

They're not sticky anymore.

它们不再有粘性。

There's no super glue left over. 短語動詞

也没有任何多余的502胶水残留。

It's just catalyzed plastic.

只是被催化成塑料了。

Not terribly durable.

不是很结实。

It feels kind of hard,

摸起来有点硬，

but you can usually just tear them apart if you're determined.

但如果你执意要撕，通常可以把它们撕碎。

We've seen that the super glue turns white when it hits our borax solution, 表達脈絡

我们已经看到502胶水遇到硼砂溶液会变白，

and I think we can add a little bit of color using some alcohol ink.

我觉得我们可以加一些酒精墨水来增加点颜色。

You can see that it mixes in quite well with the super glue.

你可以看到它和502胶水混合得相当好。

It doesn't cause it to catalyze or anything like that. 語氣意圖

它不会导致胶水被催化或者发生类似的情况。

So now let's see what happens if we drip some of the orange super glue down into our pot. 語法

现在让我们来看看，如果我们把一些橙色502胶水滴入锅里会发生什么。

We definitely have managed to dye the super glue and dye the plastic that forms 語法

我们确实成功地给502胶水上了色，同时也给塑料上了色，

when we inject it down into the borax solution.

这是在我们把它注入硼砂溶液时形成的。

You may have also noticed that it was going a tiny bit slower this time, 表達脈絡

你可能还注意到，这次它的反应稍微慢了一点，

and that's actually due to the heat.

这其实是因为温度的原因。

It reacts a lot quicker in very warm water,

它在非常温热的水中反应要快得多，

and now this has been out here for just long enough to start cooling down. 語法

而现在这杯水在这里放了有一会儿了，已经开始变凉。

To scale this up one step, 短語動詞

为了进一步扩大规模，

let's make a slightly larger batch of our borax solution

让我们做比刚才多一点的硼砂溶液，

and then fill this tray.

然后倒满这个托盘。

I want to see if we can draw cool designs using the super glue right into the liquid.

我想看看我们是否能直接在液体中用502胶水画出很酷的图案。

It's not the prettiest crown I've ever seen, 語法

这不是我见过的最漂亮的王冠，

but it'll do. 語氣意圖

但也凑合。

The King of Random Crown,

The King of Random 的王冠，

a little bit different from how we're used to seeing it maybe.

也许和我们习惯看到的有点不一样。

It really just looks like crystal growth or coral or something.

它看起来真的就像晶体生长或者珊瑚什么的。

We've got this big glass cookie jar,

我们有这个巨大的玻璃饼干罐，

and we're going to fill this up with hot borax solution.

我们要在里面装满热硼砂溶液。

We're then going to dye some of our cyanoacrylate glue

然后我们要给一些氰基丙烯酸酯胶水上色，

and fill a small water balloon with it.

并把它装满一个小水气球。

We'll suspend that water balloon underneath the borax solution

我们会把这个水气球悬挂在硼砂溶液下面，

and then pop the balloon,

然后戳破气球，

instantly exposing all of that glue to the borax solution around it. 語法

瞬间让所有胶水接触到周围的硼砂溶液。

This should be fun.

这应该会很有趣。

Even though this is a nice thick very squishy mattress, 語法

尽管这是一款又厚又软的床垫，

they do manage to smash it down small enough that it fits in an impressively small box when it arrives. 語法

他们还是设法把它压缩得足够小，使其在送达时能装进一个出奇小巧的箱子里。

It is still a decent-sized box cuz it's holding a mattress,

I'm trying to use about half of the super glue

我打算在这个气球里

in the one balloon.

用掉大概一半的502胶水。

Perfect.

完美。

Okay,

好的，

No!

不！

Didn't have enough pressure.

压力不够大。

Yeah.

耶。

Ooh.

哦。

Orange and pink.

橙色和粉色。

All right,

好吧，

well,

那么，

it's going to have that much air in it.

里面就会有这么多空气。

Okay,

好的，

this time we're going to put it under,

这次我们要把它放进去，

squeeze,

捏住，

and then stab it.

然后戳它。

Ah,

啊，

it's amazing.

太神奇了。

Little pockets of the glue got trapped,

有些小团胶水被困住了，

It was just activating as they pull and leak their way forward.

在它们被拉伸并向前渗漏时才被激活。

Piece of my glove got glued in place onto the balloon.

我手套上的一块碎片被粘在了气球上。

That is the result of the super glue

这就是502胶水

catalyzing catastrophically and immediately with the borax solution.

与硼砂溶液立即发生剧烈催化反应的结果。

It's kind of weird.

有点奇怪。

It feels as if you took like thin plastic bags 語法

感觉就像你把薄塑料袋

and then melted it down into a blob. 短語動詞

融化成了一团。

So there's like really rigid parts, 用詞

所以有些部分真的很硬，

but then the edges of it are like very flimsy thin plastic still.

但它的边缘仍然像非常薄而脆弱的塑料。

I'm trying to just tear it in half.

我正试着把它撕成两半。

Ah.

啊。

I dip it down into the borax solution

我把它浸到硼砂溶液里，

cuz I don't know if there's going to be bits of it that haven't catalyzed,

因为我不知道是否有没被催化的部分，

and I don't want to get those all over my hands 短語搭配

我不想弄得满手都是，

and glue my gloves together.

然后把手套粘在一起。

Expands a lot.

膨胀了很多。

That is way bigger than the balloon I put down in there.

那比我放进去的气球大多了。

And this thicker portion is actually the line

这个较厚的部分其实是

along which the balloon ruptured. 語法

气球破裂的缝隙线。

So we have it it tore open right here and right here,

所以我们可以看到它在这里和这里撕开了，

and then these pieces were a little slower to move out of the way 短語搭配

然后在整个东西膨胀时，

as the whole thing expanded.

这些碎片移动出来的速度要慢一点。

So yeah,

所以，没错，

you can sort of see the egg shape of the balloon

你有点能看出气球的蛋形，

and then all the pieces that erupted out of it.

以及从中喷发出来的所有碎片。

That is a really cool reaction with a really cool result.

这真是一个非常酷的反应，结果也非常酷。

You know,

你知道，

looking at it,

看着它，

I'm not sure if I like the exploding balloon 語法

我不确定我更喜欢爆炸的气球

better or the leaking balloon better,

还是更喜欢漏水的气球，

They gave us these like cool snake things.

它们给我们弄出了这些像蛇一样的酷玩意。

Both of them I thought turned out really well. 短語動詞

我觉得它们两个的效果都很好。

This first one with the orange plastic didn't have the same result as the second one.

这第一个带有橙色塑料的实验，和第二个实验结果不一样。

That's because something about the cyanoacrylate glue

那是因为氰基丙烯酸酯胶水的一些特性，

makes the latex rubber of the balloon not be very stretchy. 語法

使得气球的乳胶橡胶变得不怎么有弹性。

So even though it was full of liquid and underwater,

所以，尽管它装满液体并且在水下，

it didn't really have any pressure to pop apart.

却没有什么压力使它爆裂。

So when I stabbed it,

因此，当我戳它的时候，

it didn't rip open.

它并没有被撕开。

It just sort of started leaking out of that one hole.

只是开始从那个洞里漏出来。

That's why for the second one,

这就是为什么在做第二个的时候，

I was actually squeezing the balloon

我在用针扎气球的同时

as I hit it with the needle,

实际上也在挤压气球，

and that made it tear open all at once. 講解

这使得它一下子撕裂开来。

Guys,

伙计们，

乐趣还没有结束。
