Hutchison Effect: Steel Rubber Composite Cold Melting

In this video I show a rare 2006 Hutchison Effect experiment involving a steel and rubber composite slowly melting without heat, which I have sped up by up to 60 times speed. This material was brought by Mr. Chan whom visited John Hutchison from China for filming. The composite was cut using a hacksaw before the test started, and John says it is made of a hard rubber material (similar to car tires) with a steel frame and other steel parts. Mr. Chan states this is a shock mount, and is possibly used in Navy ships or in other heavy electrical equipment. Note that during my earlier livestream, John says the rubber material is called "Bakelite".

The composite gradually melts, while not burning the plastic Styrofoam placed underneath - which John points out as he says there is no heat involved in this process. Also captured in the experiment is brief periods where one of the composite blocks starts turning and moving towards the bigger block, as well as short periods of the block oscillating rapidly. Absolutely fascinating stuff!

I will upload a shorter and faster timelapse of this experiment soon so stay tuned!
