Making a ridiculously heavy tungsten suit (it broke my body)

Heavy things are normally big. But what if a heavy thing could be small? I wonder if that small thing could be me. Well, that is something that I've been wondering for a while now. And today, we've finally decided to get to the bottom of it. And to do that, we just

need this. Four mystery buckets of mystery substance and a giant scale that's meant for dogs. , man. And yes, we will finally be able to definitively answer that

question. And personally, I think that I should be able to get to at least 500 lb while looking virtually the exact same. That's impossible. Okay, before you say that, the secret

lies in these buckets. the secrets in here that will make everything maybe still impossible but less impossible. I think it'll be possible. So, we'll pop it open. And that's it.

And that's it. god. Bring it over to the dog scale. And

look at that. 99 lbs. Yo, I should say it's it's just a crap ton of tungsten shot. And that is what's in pretty much all of the other buckets.

Got this one here. More tungsten. And the last one is a bit different. It's powderized. Oops. Tungsten. This was a bit of a mess up. I didn't mean to buy this. Well, I tried to double up because we're going to be

double up because we're going to be using it for another project when we try to make tungsten cubes. But for now, we'll just god. unload everything. - . This bag has some

problems with it. Look at that. Look at the beads. my god. This feels That feels so weird to put your hand into. But whatever. We will put the whole bucket on. The goal now is it needs to be at

least 340. Okay. So, we got at least 340 there. And now when I stand on it, look at that. 520 lb. Yeah. So, all of this, if we can get

that on top of me, not on top of me, sorry. If we can get that on me, well then we're in business. So, we're supposed to get all of that on you without you looking any different. That is the goal. Okay. So, how are we going to do that exactly?

exactly? Well, it's a very it's a very simple process. That's where the bags here and the duct tape come into play where we just have to put it in the bags and then tape it to me. Okay. All . And why are we doing

Okay. All . And why are we doing this? What do you mean? I knew that was a cat. That was a Why are we doing this? Yeah. To answer a question. All . Yeah, you're .

god. Okay. So, we'll just take a scoop. We'll be very careful because the likelihood of this glass shattering is, I feel , very high. But either way, pour it in the bag.

Okay. god. And how heavy are we trying to get one of these bags? I think I want to get to 50. So 45 48. Okay. 50. Okay, that's it.

Man, that's one. That's a lot. But , it doesn't for 50 lbs. It doesn't really look that much. It's really not. It's the power of tungsten. Wow. yeah, I should probably Did we even mention anything about tungsten? No. it's it's just really dense. I think it's the it's one of the cheapest

it's the it's one of the cheapest dense things we could have gotten that isn't radioactive or deadly. Nice. , that's a good thing. Okay, so we got to get this off the scale. This bag is going to explode if I manipulate it improperly. So, I'm going to turn it on its side.

Okay, it's dearing. And now we're going to have to do some reinforcing. And we have a big stack of duct tape. There you go. This is all Gorilla tape, too. We decided to go for the powerful stuff because we figured that, , we

need all the help we can get. So, I don't know how this is. What's the weakest part of the bag? I guess I'll go this way. I feel the seams are the weakest. Yeah, most likely. Okay,

Okay, that's not bad. That's pretty good. There you go. 50 lb pack, dude. That's amazing. And the idea now is that we just have to make a bunch of these and then if we

strap Velcro on it, it might stay against my leg. But I'm realizing now though that's it's not really going to be that hidden. I'm going to have to wear the baggiest pants in the world. yeah. Let's try my shin.

This is not This is not consolidating I wanted to. Do you think I can put two of these on my legs? No. No. And then I can wear bell bottoms. I don't think there's big enough bell

bottoms to do that. Wait, this is perfect for the body. you could you could easily hide that here and you can

wear four packs around the stomach. I feel that's going to be pretty hard on your legs though if you're carrying that much on your torso. It is what it is. We want to concentrate the weight on your legs. This still going to be 150 on the legs, but it'll be 200. I'll be a little

but it'll be 200. I'll be a little bit topheavy. That's fine. So, yeah, I think that's the plan for now. We'll make three more 50 lb packs. All , there we go. Four packs.

200 lb of tungsten. This can go I feel this can go on my body. Yeah. Not as much as I It just doesn't look that much. Yeah. But either way, at this point, we have our four bags and now we still have some left, but the idea we had was that

we'll do just 25 lb bags so I can put them on my legs and stuff. That's it.

We got six 25 lb sacks, four 50 lb sacks, and together that's 350 lb. That's wild cuz that does not look 350 here. No, but either way, that's it.

And now we can I guess we can start strapping it to my body. This is, , a very exciting moment. So, the first step we need to do is get

this onto my legs. And to do that, I believe we just need this, a bunch of Velcro. Our original plan was to just straight up duct tape it to me, but I the idea of having this suit being something

idea of having this suit being something you can take off and put back on easily. But anyway, let's get some stuff on my shins. There we go.

There we go. god. Okay. All . Moment of truth. Okay. I just got to get up. My body just doesn't feel it's

meant to. , my knees. This is only 150, too. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm cooked. I can't put

Yeah. I think I'm cooked. I can't put more than this on my upper body. Also, these need to have some suspender system to keep them on. Yeah. Okay. Now, we got to do the torso. Okay. The idea here

is I'm going to combine the packs to make a chest pack and a backpack. I wonder if the tape is just is even going to hold this together. I think that's it. That is the

preliminary 200B weight vest. Let's see. my god. It holds it though. You can't say it doesn't hold it, but in its current state, there's no way I can lift it and

state, there's no way I can lift it and put it over my back. So, I think I'm going to try putting it on the ground and then getting up with it. Okay. my god.

Wait a second. How does this No, this is impossible. What? I have to lie down this and lift it over my head. No, I can't I can't do this with 100 lbs. That's obscene. Wait, why don't Yeah. Okay. Wait, hold on. Hold on. What? You're going to help? Yeah.

on. Hold on. What? You're going to help? Yeah. It's If you drop it on my face, I'm going to I'm going to die. Okay. So, you're going to help me. Okay. Let's go. Do not drop it on my face. Don't drop it. Wait. No. No. I don't this. It's not going to help me cuz I'll be on the ground. Okay. So, okay. Whatever. Just do it. Just do it.

okay. Whatever. Just do it. Just do it. Okay. Do not drop off it. Let go. It's fine. It's fine. One second. Get strapped here. Here. Straps are way too long. Help me. Help me.

my god. I sit. Okay, you're up. No. This is This is disgusting. This is This is horrible. No, I don't want to I'm going to explode my Wait, wait. don't. , it hurts the shoulders so bad,

dude. It's not possible. There's something wrong here. That's way That's insanely heavy. Yeah, we might have to go back to the drawing board here and figure out how to get this on. How do you even get up? Help me. It's also slippery. I know.

Help me. It's also slippery. I know. That's the worst part. Help me, dude. You're , dude, this is Okay, this is brutal. This is the last ditch effort. You guys got to tank 100 lbs each.

You guys got to tank 100 lbs each. Okay. And now you guys, if you drop it, you will just annihilate me. We'll try not to eliminate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we all have to squat at the same time. , no. You guys have to squat slowly and your squats will get easier.

have to squat slowly and your squats will get easier. Just do not I'm good. Do not let go until I Okay. Keep going. Keep going. I'm I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. You're zero. Zero. my god, I'm so strong. You did it.

did it. I really didn't think I had I feel I'm melting into the ground. It's okay. I can walk, dude. Be careful. Be careful. It's okay. You can walk. Yeah, I Dude, you're going to need a really big shirt to cover this. It looks your shoulder's about to pop out. , everything's going to pop. But wait,

It looks your shoulder's about to pop out. , everything's going to pop. But wait, just wait. Okay, you can take it off me. Okay. All . , thank you. We're good. Okay. Wow. I'm very happy with this, but I do think that we I think we do

do think that we I think we do distribute the weight. Yeah, we need to distribute it. Even though we even though I can hold it, I still think it needs to be distributed. Yeah. We did it. We did it. With a ridiculous

amount of duct tape and a bunch of Velcro, we were able to make the entire suit. And yeah, it's pretty simple. Here we have just a bunch of ankle weights or leg weights, I guess, adding up to a

nice 200 lb. Then we built a an amazing high-tech belt system that has another 50 lb and it will also hold it on my waist just to try to balance the weight a little bit and not break every

weight a little bit and not break every joint in my body. So yeah, I'm very proud of that one. I'm also very proud of this one. We re-engineered the weight vest. It's stronger than ever and half the weight. So, we got 100, 50, and 200

for a total of 350. And yeah, all I have to do is get this on my body. And if I if we do that, then I officially weigh at least 500 lb. , it also might break my body, but I guess we'll see.

Okay. I can't move.

I can't move. Try not to take such big steps, dude. Otherwise, I can't move. Drag your feet. No, it's okay. I just got to work out my quads. What? What muscles? Lift your

quads. What? What muscles? Lift your legs. Okay, we obviously Yeah, we have to fix the feet thing. But as of now, officially, if I were to step on a scale, it should read above 500. And

there is a scale all the way over there. But before we even test that, I feel we still need to do a bit of refining and we need to get proper clothes to hide everything. Then I will

step on the scale and officially see how much I weigh and hopefully I will look perfectly normal minus the ankles. Yeah, but we're going to work on that. We're going to figure that one out. There's something Yeah, we have to do

There's something Yeah, we have to do something about that. We did it. At this moment now, I'm almost certain that I'm the densest person on the planet. And how do I

person on the planet. And how do I look? Pretty good, dude. I And I guess all we have to do now is step on this scale and see what

my final mass is. Light work. Easy. god. What? What's the reading? Holy. Let me see.

Holy. Let me see. What is it? 528 lbs. About 527. We did it. You're the densest person of all time dude.

time dude. You think you could walk? I think a better question than that is, do you think do you think we can trick people with this? , wait, wait, wait. Is this is this why

wait, wait, wait. Is this is this why you did this? It I've done I did this for many reasons. Okay, just say yes or no. No. man, unfortunately not. But, , , okay, you look you look

How do I look from the side, though? You look better. I think overall it turned out pretty good. I think that as a prototype and proof of concept, we proved something

amazing here today. A, we showed that it is totally possible to hide at least 350 pounds of tungsten around my body. And I guess and that my body wouldn't shatter

guess and that my body wouldn't shatter under the weight. But this is just phase one, , with this proof of concept. We can now move on to phase two. And I'm excited for that.

But yeah, I think for now I'm h I need to get out of this. This is so bad. My legs are just shaking. god. I can't even move my legs.

I can't even move my legs. Do you want me to keep filming or just get this off of me, please? It's been a few months now and let's just say that phase 2 is going pretty

well. With that being said though, there is something else that I did want to mention which is that if you haven't already heard, we're making chemistry kits in collaboration with Vsauce and Ink Factory. More specifically, we're making a kit that will allow you to do

making a kit that will allow you to do the Bella Uso Zabatinsky reaction, which is one of my favorite reactions, and it's the inspiration for the logo of this channel. We also already posted a whole demo of the prototype kit back in October on our other channel,

back in October on our other channel, Nile Red Extra. And even though it was only a prototype at that point, everything went really smoothly. And I think the result that we got was really amazing. Since then though, we've been working on a bunch of improvements color coding all of the syringes and

color coding all of the syringes and reagents, and we're getting close to finalizing the instruction booklet and the waste disposal procedure. We've been also working really hard to fix a bunch of small technical issues and to lock down a company to source all of the

down a company to source all of the chemicals. And finally, we have an actual tentative date for the release of the kit. It should be ready to ship by late summer, which I think is really exciting. And I'm happy that everyone who has already pre-ordered it will

who has already pre-ordered it will finally be able to get their hands on it. For everyone who hasn't pre-ordered it, you also still have the chance to do it now, which I think is a good idea if you want to make sure you're able to get a kit when it's released. And you can do this by going over to

this by going over to inkfactory.com/nior red. On top of that, I also recommend checking out that Nile red extra video because even though it was just a prototype, I think it still gives a really good idea of how the whole final kit will work. And I think the end

result is worth the watch. But anyway, I think it's time to go back to working on phase two. And bye.
