This video came up in group meeting because my lab has just purchased about 5 times the amount of rubidium as they use in the video.

Of course, hopefully we'll keep ours from getting wet.

Excellent, I love the Hamster.

In tenth grade IB chemistry, my teacher showed us this with potassium, the rationale being that we had never seen such a powerful one before. A tiny pellet went into a large amount of water, and basically exploded.

EDIT: And Hammond forgot to mention that francium is illegal because it's kind of radioactive.

We should make Ce-tipped torpedos. Just blow open it's container upon reaching the target with a small amount of HE, let the Ce contact the water and Ka-blammo, and doooon't give me any guff about it being unstable and blah blah blah. I want explosions, I don't care WHERE it happens, necessarily.

Isn't that the show that got them in trouble because it was faked? The metals didn't blow up the tub, so they used explosives to get a nice shot.
