Ive been pouring 7 different metals into a 24″ tall aquarium over the weekend, and the results have been super cool! I poured metals with different melting points to see if they had any different effects when they came in contact with water. From Pewter (350f/170c) all the way to Thermite (4000f/2204c). Some of them exploded, some of them sank and made molten metal drippy-castles, but they were all interesting. Here is a list of metals I used, and their melting points:
Pewter 338–446 °F – 170–230 °C
Tin – 449.5°F (231.9°C)
Bismuth – 520.6°F (271.4°C)
Lead – 621.5°F (327.5°C)
Zinc – 787.2°F (419.5°C)
Aluminum – 1,221°F (660.3°C)
Iron – 2,800°F (1,538°C) 4000f (2200 C) Reaction
I don’t have anything against the usage of celsius, or aluminiuminum. Im not calling you communists either, im just messing with you guys because you always yell about my pronunciation 
(but seriously its aluminum in America!)
I poured in the metals as soon as they were fully liquid, so they could not raise too far above the melting point and skew the results. This video is a great demonstration of the leidenfrost effect.
I will be uploading all the uncut footage in slow motion, as well as behind-the-scenes for you guys soon, I will post it on social media and in the video description. I could not include the whole stuff in the video, because 10 seconds at 240fps is 100 seconds long played back. It would get boring, but It is certainly worth a watch.
I read all my comments, but sometimes I miss a few! If you need help with a project you are welcome to email me 
On my Facebook, G+, and Twitter page I post questions, polls, and sneak peeks into my next video. Im always looking for my fans input!
