Had me hooked on your channel after seeing the silver crystals , but it's amazing to see the refining process and to watch the precipitation process is still awesome to watch. Wish had a teacher that taught like you do when I was in school
No, when I first started I searched and searched for information about refining. There was nothing. I found RU-vid videos that had bits and pieces, leaving out critical details, then direct you to a site for a fee. Most refiners would rather take their secrets to the grave than share them with the masses. I just exploited this to build a channel.
It amazes me how FAST it cools from molten 1000C to being able to handle it in around 1-2mins later (yeah i know there was a cut but you see srees other pours with no cuts)
Cause the mass is small.....if it was a giant hunk of metal the size of a Hyundai,it's gonna take way longer to cool.theres only so much energy u can hold in a tiny mass. After all u don't expect an iceberg to melt as fast as an ice cube do u?
Good is one if the most conductive naturally occurring elements! This combined with its relatively low heat capacity (specific heat, coming at 0.129 J/gC°, for perspective water comes in at 4.184 J/gC°) means that it can bleed off alot of energy while storing very little.
@@Pr34ch gold isn't a "superconductor" sir. It is very very good at conducting for sure, but not a superconductor (I don't think room-temperature superconductors exist)
@@blazednlovinit true. One carbon based compound managed to apparently perform at room temperature a few years ago. Carbonaceous sulfur hydride. But you're absolutely right, despite this one exception only tested a few times - no room temp SCs
What a pretty bar . I just started pouring silver and learning alot. Made some nice bars myself but so much more to learn. That is a hell of a bar sir !!
"There is nothing, NOTHING, like the look and feel of pure Gold in the palm of your hand". In the entire course of human events. From the beginning of Human civilization until right this very second. Through the 1,000s of years of Human existence no person has EVER uttered a more true statement than that!
I wish I had a science teacher like you in my highschool I would have been so much more better with the sciences. I'm Old now and to far gone for you to teach.Hopefuly the younger people watching will realize that you are awesome 😎😎😎. I wish you the best in life and i thank you for for sharing your videos.
What a nice chunky BEAUTIFUL little gold loaf!! (technically not so "little" haha) Anyways, great stuff right there man!! It's fantastic watching you work your magic!!!!
Greetings Mr Streetips ... I live in India (Gujarat). I subscribed to your account yesterday! I had no idea how much 999 pure you could harvest from the Pentium pro chips I saw you do (thank you/shukriya). The Pentium Pro also had two separate chips inside so this doubled the amount of solid gold wire bonding that is usually found in a single chip CPU like the Intel 386 and 486 chips. Gold refining yields of the Pentium Pro have been reported to be as high as around 0.33 grams per CPU. These Pentium pro chips are Rs 1 each from a dealer here in Gujarat so I can get 1000 for $13.45 You will get 330 grams/11.78 oz of gold from 1000 processors. That is approx $20,664 or 15.5 lakh rupees at today's gold spot price of $66 per gram Rs 4889. So the math is clear if I was to process 100,000 of the pro series CPU's from Pentium over a period of 6 months. Here the cost of laboratory-grade acid is next to nothing ... Liquid Nitric Acid Rs 24 /Litre ($0.15) Hydrochloric Acid Rs 8 /Litre ($0.11) Sulfuric Acid, Grade Standard: Reagent, for Industrial Use, Rs 35 /Litre ($0.47) Liquid Bleach Sodium Hypochlorite Rs 11.50/ Litre ($0.16). It is worth investing in the butane and oxygen-acetylene torches/a fume hood (all of this can be purchased second hand) and some pyrex lab equipment with a magnetic mixing bar and some electric hobs for the nitric cooks (essentially everything I have seen you use). I have watched approx 11 hours of your content so far and I was also pleasantly surprised to see how much silver you pull out of the waste with the silver cell. I have always heard that harvesting metals from scrap electronics yield so little that it is not worth your time ... but this is clearly not the case when you know what you are doing and follow the methodology exactly! The only consumables are the acid and the gas for the torches ... everything else is multiple uses. I also see that getting to know all the local jewellers (for their scrap/waste) can yield some very satisfying harvest days. I saw you pull out a very respectable yield from 1.2 kg of scrap gold filled jewellery (that most would think to be junk). Even the scrap dust from the jeweller's table is worth a dumpster dive! This is *a black art* that is clearly not very well understood or appreciated in our modern culture. I have been studying gold and silver prices for over 18 years so I am very aware that the COMEX and LBMA mickey mouse scheme to keep the price surprised with the futures contract market is a Ponzi scheme that will collapse in the very near future. And for every kg of gold in the futures contract market, there are multiple people who think they own that physical delivery ... I have heard numbers as high as 7/8 people who all have a claim to each kg that is actually available in physical metal (the same goes for silver). In 2009 I was getting 1 kg (35.71 oz) of Silver for Rs 22,165 / $298.11 / $8.47 per oz which is so low it is not even funny! So as we both know ... harvesting metal from scrap is viable today when you know what you are doing but when the price of gold goes up to $8/10,000 per oz (and it will) and the price of silver hits $3/400 per oz (and it will) due to the increase of silver use in solar panels and the technology involved in electric vehicles putting demand on physical supply that can not be met ... the laws of supply and demand will not be ignored in the world outside of the COMEX or LBMA. Russia/China and India will set the spot price and New York and the city of London will be forced into compliance. When Russia/China and India have syphoned off all the available bullion at these mickey mouse prices and there is nothing more to be gained from the current status quo ... *expect an avalanche to happen!* At that point, you will need to have all the scrap you could allocate and I am including all gold fingers from any scrap PC and all the old cell phones you can find ... because then the lower yields you get from these smaller amounts of gold per unit *WILL BE WELL WORTH A DUMPSTER DIVE!* Keep up the great work Mr Streetips because I have not seen more viable content on this wasteland that we call RU-vid in over a decade *my good man!*
New subscriber 😁 dalm I love gold and silver and metals.. very cool video nice 🥈🥇🥈🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 specially when they melt it all and make something awesome with it
Man that is cool! When the bar starts to go from orange to gold is undescribable...just wondering why you dont have a 9999 fine stamp on the bar? Wouldnt that be more official?
Quick question the furnace that you used to incinerate your paper waste how hot does it get and if it got above 2200° why couldn’t you take the gold shot or powder put it into a cold graphite, mold place the mold in the furnace and melt it that way? Would it damage the graphite mold do you think it would work?
