Technically it's not liquid metal it's just an oil base with tiny pieces of metal in it.
Still very cool.
I've always wanted to play around with something like that but the setups are so expensive.
Spiky spinning towers of Doom. :tinfoil:
I have a medium sized bottle of this stuff. It's messy as hell, it doesn't come off of anything, but it's awesome :fuckyou:
If your refering to mercury, your risking your heatlh by just touching it. It's really super freakin toxic.

Actually as long as you have decent ventilation, touching mercury with your hands is harmless. And if you'd watch the video you'd find it's oil with tiny magnets suspended in it

How do you make your hand have decent ventilation.

I'm talking about the room you're in, to prevent you from breathing in fumes. The skin on your palms and fingers is too thick to absorb it.

Elemental Mercury is harmless. Just don't ingest too much. Touching Elemental Mercury is fine too. Though its just oil with metal pieces, but you still get the point. If anyone wants to do this, just mix a small bottle of vegetable oil with ink toner.
Awesome! Never seen this before!

I wonder what a setup like this consists of (the magnets and shit).

Thats good to know about mercury. I've got a bottle of it that weighs like 8 pounds. Im not sure what the liquid conversion in weight is.
I suddenly feel at peace with everything.
except anime fags.
i will always hate them.
Just think, there might be planets out there in the vastness of the universe where things like that happen naturally.
