Man Puts His Bare Hand Through A Stream Of Molten Metal

In the video, posted on Wednesday a bald-headed man hanging out in a metal smelting plant removes his protective gloves crouches by a small waterfall of glowing white hot metal and smacks the stream with his naked hand like a bear pawing at a river. He does it three times and doesn’t even flinch.

Upon seeing a video like this the natural impulse is to think this is fake but man in the video used a physics phenomenon known as the Leidenfrost Effect.

The Leidenfrost Effect named for the 18th-century German scientist Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost that discovered it describes the remarkably potent natural shield that's created between a hot liquid and a cooler surface when they first come into contact.
