Touching Hot Molten Metal Without Getting Burned By Wetting Your Hands. - Video

When you touch hot liquid metal with wet hands, your skin won’t get burned as long as your hands are still wet.
Why?

Because the water on your skin instantly evaporates, creating a layer of gas between your skin and the hot metal.

This means your skin doesn’t come into direct contact with the metal, so you don’t get burned.

This phenomenon is called the Leidenfrost effect and only happens when the surface temperature is way above the boiling point of the liquid.
Done by experts—definitely not something to try at home!
