Dry Water - The STRANGEST LIQUID On Earth!

So scammers can advertise "waterproof" products using this. Lol

The crazy part is that it isn't flammable despite being super volatile and immiscible with water. It is volatile and with extremely low viscosity yet has a high density and molecular weight. Truly a weird set of properties to coexist in one material..

Finally, i can shower without the water being so wet

Gordon Ramsay: "This water is dry"

I would like it to see it frozen.

That's an incredibly interesting way to see where heat is on a motherboard

I've actually been looking for 3M Novec for ages. Turns out they're the perfect fluid for liquid cooling computers since you can submerge an entire motherboard without the risk of electrical failure

Actually it is already used for cooling in some data centers. The liquid may be expensive but you only need to buy it once, as it's not getting lost in the process. What they do is they add little heat spreaders to CPUs, which also helps to transfer heat faster to the liquid and everything runs inside a completely closed tank so that evaporated liquid cannot escape.The cover of the tank has head spreader on the inside and a massive cooling system on the outside, so that evaporated liquid will condense at the cover and fall back into the liquid, just as shown with the glass of ice water. Of course you can build the same thing with air cooling but the liquid transports heat much better than air does and because of that you need no fans so there are no movable parts involved that may fail. Also nothing will get dusty or dirty over time. You can also use water cooling to avoid movable parts and dirt, yet water will be a problem if you ever get a leak in the cooling system. And you don't need a lot of that fluid. As soon as all parts of the system are barely covered, the cooling system will work reliable. The fluid is not really "cooling" the system, its task is just to transfer heat quickly to the actual cooling system sitting outside of this tank. The real cooling system will use conventional air cooling or water cooling but it can use massive components, as it doesn't have to fit onto tiny chips, it's a big rig on the cover of a big tank.

They did it They made the "is water wet" an actual topic Why science

“it releases dangerous vapors when exposed to ultraviolet light” then he shines a blacklight all over it 😂 lol

I work with this chemical daily (Specifically 3M Novec - HFE7200 (75°C boiling point). It is very fascinating for a liquid to evaporate faster than brake cleaner and have no smell. It also doesn't cool down skin like acetone or isopropyl alchohol. The only thing is these fluid are very very expensive at about 512$/Gallon. He also didn't mention most of these can still flow at very low temps as well. For Novec 7200 it remains a viscous liquid until -70°C. And it has a very high thermal coefficient of expansion. About 1.4x volume from cold to hot. this also means the density when its very cold is nearly 2x that of water and when warm its still about 1.5x heavier that water.

Me watching youtube instead of going to sleep: Hmmm yes dry water.

Well. I didn't think I needed to make a dry-watercooled PC...

ACTUALLY: The reason why it doesn't make paper soggy has nothing to do with viscosity. It is because water forms H-bonds with cellulose hydrating the fibers.

Proceed to turn my grandma aquarium into a gaming rig

C6F12O as "dry water" , seems legit. It doesn't even have a single hydrogen atom in there.

Holy shit i didn't expect you will drown whole PC in it! What a legend

The only thing heavier than this water is his accent.

Novec is similar to 3M Fluorinert. Fluorinert was used as the cooling medium in the Cray-2 supercomputers back in the late 80's. When I worked for JBL around that time, we also used Fluorinert for amplifier prototype testing as we could run them at full power without the need for heatsinks by running them submerged in a tank of Fluorinert.

It's so weird seeing the smoke from the match 'floating' on the vapour layer.
