Not Even A Mark Left As Steel Worker Slaps Molten Iron
Molten steel is about 2900 degrees and this bold steel worker passes his hand through molten steel. Is the man some sort of magician or a yogi or can science explain this phenomenon?
Yes, and its called Leidenfrost effect. The Leidenfrost effect phenomenon occurs when water touches a molten surface, with a much higher boiling point. At that moment, an insulating layer of steam is generated. This vapor layer, like a repulsive force, keeps that liquid from boiling too rapidly. So you can stick your wet hand in an out .
Needless to say dont try this at HOME !! So take a look at this video.
Its crazy how watering your hand properly can protect you from the heat of molten steel. Just be sure the water doesnt evaporate to quick or you will end up like Anakin Skywalker.
