This Guy Pours Molten Aluminum Into His Watermelon. The Result Is An Awesome Surprise!

Sometimes the most unexpected scientific experiments can produce art?!  Now that winter is finally over and we are getting close to watermelon season let’s watch an awesome science experiment! “The Backyard Scientist” of YouTube fame wanted to see what would happen if he heated up aluminum and poured it into a water-melon that had been partially hollowed out.  What made him come out with the idea?  He was expecting an explosion.

Well, that is not what happened.  The molten aluminum found its way through the watermelon through tiny channels that  “connected the seed chambers to each other, and this caused this awesome casting to happen”, said the experimenter.  Unintentional art was the result! Mother Nature works in mysterious ways and this watermelon experiment is no exception.

The most intricate casting occurred, which resulted in sculptures that many modern art lovers would be pleased to own.  I wonder how much this would go for at the right art auction? Anyway enjoy this awesome experiment, show the kids and remember, don’t try this at home!
