What Happens When You Heat This? #shorts #science #experiment #shortvideo #science - Video

Can you really dip your wet hand in molten metal and not get burned? MythBusters tested it, and the Leidenfrost effect explains why. Physics and science experiment explained in 30 seconds. ⚠️ Do not try this.

Adam Savage's famous MythBusters test shows how the Leidenfrost effect builds a vapor barrier between water and extreme heat, the same reason water droplets dance on a hot pan. Curious how the Leidenfrost effect works, why a wet hand can resist molten metal, or whether this myth is really busted? Here's the thermodynamics in plain English.

Never try this yourself. Molten metal causes severe burns.
