Is an easy way to do it? Like I want the metal straight out of yellow and not convert it into any tetrafluoride etc.. any ideas? This seems wayy to long

"Extremely radioactive" "Grind it into a fine powder" Cody, you better have a respirator on. I personally would not go near that without a full SCBA suit.
There’s this man who ate uranium powder in small amounts for like 40 years to demonstrate that it’s not as dangerous as the government makes it seem and he died of old age.
It was probably taken down to prevent some cletus from trying to be a big brain and doing something unbelievably dangerous without having a extremely deep understanding of what they are doing
@@BacklTrack you are implying that intelligent people need these videos to know how to conduct chemistry experiments like that. People who are smart enough to execute this aren’t here on this channel to learn how to do it. Cleetus mother fuckers who want to are, that’s what I’m saying
@@gangstercomputergod9362 xD even with the knowledge of how to enrich uranium let's be honest it's too expensive for most people. The cheap way uses multiple centrifuges that are pretty massive. Just one of them probably costs as much as a house, let alone multiples. And I mean you could use smaller ones I guess but it would take literal years
@@tacticalbacon158 there are other methods to enrich the uranium, the Manhattan project used a different enrichment process, it was kinda cheap but very slow
Uranium fever has gone and got me round Uranium fever is spreading al around With a geiger counter in muy hand Gonna learn about uranium in Cody'sLab...
The worst part is you search this because you heard if was taken down and you were curious, now you're on a watch list. Edit: Goddamn mfs really hate jokes
Attention my FBI agent: I am watching this because it is neat. I know literally nothing about sciencey stuff. Please do not come to my house, I am sleeping after this video. Thanks.
I kinda feel bad for the army of people who look into that stuff. I can't imagine how many keywords trigger a boring and tedious investigation just to be sure.

i watched this video in Cody’s channel when it come out, theres nothing wrong with the video, anyone that search into depth find much more detail information about refining uranium on other parts of the internet.
It is very interesting, if nothing else, that he discusses the waste problem. Even on a small lab scale, the amount of waste and contamination is bracing.
Ho God, I'm so so so grateful for Reuploading this highly valuable and motivating video, you holy person! I've been looking for this video for a long time, but I just now told to my self "let's try it again, maybe after 6 months something had changed" and to my surprise, God heard my prayers!!! I cannot be grateful enough and to show you my appreciation for your honorable act. God bless you! (I've even started to talk like a Christian, and I'm not one. It's a miracle, hallelujah!!!)

@@zinckensteel Its a matter of context. it turnout that if the human body is not exposed to very small amounts of very specific (which ones I don't remember ) types of radiation; there is less vitality, & resilience. Hope your life if fabulous.

For the final reduction its a lot easier and cheaper to use magnesium. Make a buffer of magnesium oxide for the graphite then ball mill the dry uranium fluoride with magnesium and some calcium or magnesium chloride as a flux and fill it. Top off with more magnesium oxide and sand. Slowly heat in your furnace under a slow argon purge. Make sure the magnesium is in excess. Also works well to free thorium and lanthanides. The thorium will form a metal sponge, but the lanthanides and uranium form ingots. 👌
@@innacrisis6991 well, the human body has been exposed to small amounts of uranium over millions of years because it naturally forms in dirt. So the human body has developed and evolved a slight resistance to a small/moderate amount. But to something man-made which the human body has not evolved against, like plutonium. You should probably get some protection. Hope that helps. (Though ofcourse, it will still have an effect. Im just saying we have a slight immunity.)
The original bag of stuff that was freshly ground up was the most radioactive at just over 5000 disintegrations per second.. there are 4000 to 10000 disintegrations per second happening in your body right now and that's completely normal.. it shouldn't be so scary now that you know that you're already more radioactive than the original bag of powder
Dear FBI agent: I have no intentions of doing this, I just love watching science stuff. Nile Red mentioned this was taken down, and I just wanted to watch this cuz..science
I hope you're well after handling that stuff Cody. It's too toxic to work with @ 30,000 CPM. Gloves don't shield all the rads and beta is an electron traveling at varying speeds up to (but not at) the speed of light. Try this, put a sample of the material in the black glove and set it on a stack of photographic paper overnight. See how many of the sheets were exposed by rads.
watch Galen Winsors lecture. Radioactive danger is overhyped beause the gov don't want the public making their own platinum group metals and gold; they also don't want uranium bricks heating every household and stopping the gov holding heating energy hostage over wagecucks.
30'000 cpm from natural uranium means 500 Bq, which considering an alpha decay energy of 4.267 MeV for ²³⁸U translates in a total radiation dose (which you wouldn't get unless you keep the sample constantly in direct contact with your skin) of 0.35 μSv/h, which is about the same level as the natural radiation background. He'll be fine.
Not buying the wet crushing excuses, then he has a "splashing problem." Yeah but a splashing problem doesn't get into your lungs. This whole thing gives me the heebie jeebies with the near complete lack of environmental controls. The chemistry/science is amazing, but amazing watching someone else do it. I don't want to be within 1/4 mile downwind. Edit 2: I'd imagine the FBI (and probably EPA) was interested because he's making a radioactive contamination problem, not that he's trying to make a weapon. And for those complaining about the government, I don't want some dude dispersing fine Uranium dust into the air in my neighborhood.
Natural uranium is a very weak alpha emitter, there is little radiological concern with all of this. You get a much higher radiation dose by taking a random flight with an airplane.
@@hmbpnz The highest count was 30'000 cpm, that's 500 Bq, which for ²³⁸U which decays with an energy of 4.267 MeV, means a total radiation dose of 0.35 μSv/h. The natural background is ~0.3 μSv/h. There is very little risk unless you literally start snorting all the powder.
Codys disclaimer at the beginning didnt seem very legally sound. Make sure you know chemistry if you guys wanna recreate anything im doing. Hes putting alot of faith in his audience not being stupid.
I've learned so much from cody. it's a shame that things like this are being restricted and censored. Genuinely good information, and we'll never be actually doing this anyway...
He's probably got the exhaust piped to the outside (who knows with Cody) but I assume you mean that it's not sucking up all of the dust since its not in a proper enclosure.
The problem with dust is not the dust you can see, it's the dust you can't see. Dust particles can get so small you don't see them. Being so small, it lingers in the air for hours, if not days. When it comes to wood dust, your body can actually process bigger dust particles. But when they get down to under 5 microns, your body can't deal with it and it just keeps causing microlesions. With time, this can give you wood allergies, or even cancer. I don't want to imagine what uranium dust and those fumes would do to you. It's really difficult to get rid of dust. People spend thousands to try to get rid of dust, you'll always leave a surprising amount behind. He's going to have uranium dust behind cupboards for years.
Man, I would have loved to see a radium paint video. I heard that it is the phosphor that dies, not the radium in watch dials. I've looked to see if you can just steal the phosphor from an old oscilloscope, but didn't find any answers. Anyone on here know if that would work to restore the glow on an old watch dial?
Yeah, the feds made him take it down. I asked why and got a good answer from a friend which was "would you like it if terrorists had a "how-to" guide for making Uranium?".
@@BackYardScience2000 you fail to understand making large amounts of uranium is a lot of work and very expensive, not only is his method inefficient for larger amounts it’s just not even worth while because if different soil or ground composition. Lastly you can’t buy enough Uranium ore to make a bomb and not be on a list.
@@BackYardScience2000 Also, um good luck enriching that much lol. Pretty much useless otherwise. This is just a proof of concept and there is no use in nuclear power or wepons with metallic uranium. The process is also open source. The only thing the feds didn't like was the UF4 as that is the only illegal part iirc.
You all fail to understand that you don't need to make a nuke to make a bomb with this stuff and you don't have to enrich it. Ever heard of a dirty bomb? They spread radiation far and wide and if nobody is looking for it then it goes unnoticed and a large amount of people can be exposed to large amounts of radiation. Also, you don't have to buy the ore. Who the hell would buy that much oree to make a bomb with? That's idiotic. You can go out and collect literally tons of it off the ground in certain spots. Do you all even science? It doesn't seem like it. Also, I was just relaying information about what THEY made HIM do. You all act like I was the one who made him take it down. Lmfao! If you're gonna get mad at someone, get mad at the feds who made him take it down. Don't shoot the messenger. Also, maybe know more about what you're talking about before making such assumptions about what a terrorist would want it for and be able to do with it? Maybe you'll make less idiotic comments and you might not shoot the messenger next time. 🙄
A documentary about the Soviet Union collapse made me search more info about Uranium enrichment. I think I’m gonna be on a CIA list now since I mentioned Soviet and uranium enrichment in the same sentence. It’s just for educational purposes mr goverment dude.
