@@thomaslaparnestudenthbhs6439 I'm sure you know this, but for anyone else who reads this, argon works slightly better than nitrogen, but is way more expensive.
Another very absorbing video. Even though I may never reproduce one of your experiments, exactly, you present ideas and knowledge that is transferable to other areas of examination. Your demonstration of issues and the stimulating content are far more interesting than your contemporary RU-vidrs. Thank you for your dedication to quality.
3:14 Is 95% alcohol that 190 proof alcohol mentioned here? What is the reason for different scales? So many questions. Please try help me/community to understand.
I second that motion. It's not often that I glean as much universally applicable useful concise information as i do from your lectures. Thank you for your tremendous contributions toward free public education. You bring the chemo to an epidemic of cancerous misinformation.
From one Alex to another, don't feel too bad about that cut on film for everyone to see. We appreciate all the blood sweat and tears that go into these videos, a little more blood this time but you know it happens... I hope you heal up quick! And I always appreciate your roving hand carrying shots keep up the good work.
Learned slowly how to cut things really effectively and fast. About 3x faster than the spouse and she isn't slow. Knives are nice to keep razor sharp and pro chefs tutorials about cutting things like the onions are way too complicated. Cuts make the master bro.
ohh I assumed the reason he did not want to show was due to monetization, since youtube is pretty strict with blood etc. I know a few science youtubers that have gotten into truple due to this. And its a sad reason to have your channel closed to (even if only for a week or 2)
I always feel as though I have gone to a college chemistry class with your videos. Your methods of teaching and explaining what's going on make these chemical processes understandable as well as entertaining . You almost had me reaching for my car keys to go get a tank of nitrogen. Don't know how else I would use it, but at least i would have it. Thank you..
Interesting, as always. BTW: the chef's way to cut a lemon in half is to hold it between finger and thumb, creating an arch with your hand, with the axis of the lemon horizontal. Then you can safely introduce the blade of the knife, with no risk of cutting your fingers.
As always, thank you for interesting and informative content. I rarely have time to watch longer videos, but I schedule time to watch yours. No one on RU-vid condenses as much quality information into a given time frame as you. Thanks again!
I did this once, but I don't have knife skills, cut the tips of my knuckle skin off instead of my finger, on 2 knuckles. Was actually worse than just cutting my fingers as would keep splitting open all the time due to it bending all the time.
Very interesting video. I have been in the chemical industry for 45 years. My specialty is distillation and I have experience with phase separators! Thanks for all of your excellent videos.
31:00 Not everyone has a tank of nitrogen: You can buy a product called "Bloxygen" which is argon in a small can with a straw. After opening a can of stain or whatever, you add a shot of that before closing the can. It makes a heavy layer so you don't have to fill it up the void in the can completely.
One of the few ocassions that i can remember that the unsolicited presentation of a commercial product results interesting ;) Only trying to be humorous, no bad blood at all, friend.
Gas mixtures do not form layers. Argon will not sit in its own layer, it will mix with the rest of the atmosphere in the vessel. If you want to flush out air, you have to add a minimum of that volume of argon.
this is the second knife incident you guys have been involved in!!!.. i appreciate the lengths you and your family go to to bring excellent science to us. stay safe!!!!
I hope Alex recovers quickly! I saw that cut as his knife was dropping any my heart sank, best of wishes to you both! Side note. 212 f° is 100 c° Either our gracious and most honestly most awesome host was frustrated with doing conversations or distracted by concern for his son.
I've learned so much from this that has nothing to do with the oils them selves. the end of the video was most of that. and it applies to things i didn't know i was wanting to know. this is great! while i don't plan on extracting essential oils. i did want to know how it was done. but I've also learned how to preserve other things that are sensitive to light, hat, and oxygen degeneration. something i didn't watch for but am happy to have learned or rather re-learned and can actually apply. i knew many of the concepts and applications of them but not how "I" could apply them to my situation. again thank you!
Thanks. That's the way we handle most of the videos we post, the project itself is the star of the show, but the science that surrounds it contains much of the value.
Can I add a note on the potential additional reuse factor of your lemons? Are those old lemon skins now worm food? They say you can't use lemons for worms but since you removed the limonene and I assume most of the citric acid, the peels should be ideal as compost. Also the end of the video when you talk about all the preservation techniques was super insightful. Thank you for that.
I have a very productive Meyer's Lemon Tree in my greenhouse in Tacoma Washington USA. It produced 8 and a half dozen full size ripe lemons a month ago and the tree is getting bigger. I hope to have hundreds of lemons next year.
With all due respect, having brine (with an equilibrium temperate below that of pure water i.e. zero) flow through the condenser will create a higher "delta T" and hence a higher "delta Q" which may help condensing more vapor. Thermal energy required to convert the ice to water is provided through heat exchanges in that ice/water pool and will determine the rate you melt the ice, if water is not circulated back; if it is, then using brine instead of pure water will make the condenser work better but will melt the ice faster. Thanks, I highly appreciate and enjoy your thorough educational videos.
That's a good ouchie! For lemon juice in a fresh cut, I think Alex was very restrained, I would have been demonetised for at least 2 minutes! The Limoncello could have been used medicinally, it's rather nice :-D
As someone in the UK just getting into distilling alcohol (Illicitly) as it happens, I found this and your previous video invaluable as it explains the technicalities in an understandable way. Cheers.
I think you will find that you have produced a mixture of two oils. One from the zest of the lemon, and the other from the pith. Some chefs insist on just using the zest, and remove just the outer yellow coating with a zester. The pith tastes different and would spoil the flavour. However for marmalade you use both parts of the lemon. Extracting the Zest Oil might be possible by using a small press, as there is so little of it.
Another way to remove dissolved gas from liquids which is common in chemistry labs is to employ a schlenck flask or rubber septum/cannula and a gas manifold controlled by a 3 way valve. The material to be degassed is placed in the flask and attached to the manifold which is attached to both a vacuum pump and a source of dry nitrogen or argon. The flask is placed in extremely cold media, such as rubbing alcohol and dry ice or even better, liquid N2. The material, once frozen, is then allowed to just start thawing, then is gradually exposed to the vacuum. Gases are almost completely insoluble in solids and have extremely low solubility near their melting point. By repeating this freeze/thaw cycle several times until no more gas is evolved, the liquid can be almost entirely degassed. At that point the flask can be backfilled with nitrogen or argon, ensuring the liquid only contains the inert gas in the container headspace.
I like to keep my knives razor sharp. That way I always respect the blade, and really pay attention to what I'm doing. I've had plenty of cuts through the years, but only very minor ones were from knives.
You can obtain d-limonene also from orange peels. The oil is widely used in industrial cleaning as a replecement for chlorinated solvents. A mixture of ultra pure d-limonene and petroleum distillate is used for cleaning electronic equipment. Major warning is that some people are allergic to citrus products and cannot tolerate the smell. A few people want to label d-limonene as a potential human carcinogen because it causes cancer in male rats, but it's a very weak argument. Does nothing to mice, or female rats, just male rats.
Fingers, toes, ears and nose don't have anastomosis, so serious damages to these parts of the body could severely compromise the circulation to the affected parts. When it comes to hand injuries, since we are so dependent on our hands and fingers, they should be seen to by a hand surgeon. Tendons, nerves and the vascular system of our hands are very tightly packed, so more serious injuries to hands and fingers need the specialist touch of hand surgeons. They often work together in teams with vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons. When it comes to oil extraction, I have an idea. In the lab when we want to break up cells to get to specific parts, we use an Ultrasonic Cell Disruptor. They're not cheap, but if you really want to get to the highest yield possible, making such a device could be worth while the effort. I imagine that such a method could yield some extremely interesting results in producing the most expensive essential oil in the world: Rose Oil. Rose Oil is very unstable to heat. The way that precious oil is made is by covering to plates of glass, which are non-reactive, with a carrier oil. Then rose petals are placed on the bottom plate and the set up is covered with the top plate. Normally some pressure is applied. After several days, the carrier oil, which now contains this very expensive Rose Oil, is scraped off and bottled. I figure that you maybe would be able to do that with an Ultrasonic Cell Disruptor much more quickly and efficiently, if you could keep the pulp (rose petals and carrier oil) cooled somehow. ⚠ If you do try this, remember heavy duty ear protection and don't touch the business end of the apparatus!
I'm sorry for the guy getting cut. But great video. I want to add that lemon oil is great as a cleaner and saitizer, though it will burn skin and eyes if not careful. Also, lemon oil eats styrofoam as if it were gasoline. It will also dissolve, rather quickly, some plastics. The Sonic restaurant chain sells lime aides with real limes in them and is the cause of many of those drinks forming leaks where the skin of the lime and lemons are touching it, Happy New year and many blessings to you!
Of ALL of the videos done by you that I have watched, THIS one causes me to visualize you as Walter White, the Chemistry Teacher vis-a-vis Heisenberg, the Meth Cook. I mean that in the most complimentary way. Walter, before he lost his moral compass and despite his somewhat suppressed rage at 'the way his partners and ex-girlfriend treated him' in regards to their company, Gray Matter, was a superb teacher, as are you in this presentation.
Commercial extraction, at least for limoncello, separates the yellow zest from the bitter white pith. Most cake makers will have a lemon zester, because the zest is used to create lemon drizzle, and other lovely lemony things. They're really cheap, and very effective at just removing the zest. If you don't have one, a fine grater will do the trick (not the ones that are just holes ripped into sheet steel, which are more like a rasp, but the small blades). You remove the zest before squeezing the lemons. Not only would this greatly improve the taste/aroma, but you'd have much less pulp to deal with, and therefore less water as well. You wouldn't need the food processor either, so it's just as quick. I suggest you don't let your son use the grater. He's liable to grate off his finger tips. Clearly he didn't inherit your coordination, spatial awareness or mechanical thinking. I understand the desire for a father-son bonding session, and some of my most cherished memories are helping my dad with his various projects. However, your son really looked like an accident waiting to happen, and we didn't have to wait too long.
Dealing with 12 or so trees worth of lemons has resulted in racing heartbeat and CNS stimulation (quite alarming), due to trans-dermal absorption of Synephrine I believe. Freezing then thawing is a method of breaking open cell wall structures FYI. Maybe using a vacuum to boil off essential/volatile oils could be efficient & effective?
I was going to watch your group's uploads even without the fishing-lure headline. I expect if someone notices your videos they are already set in the algorithmic groove that would mark them as interested in experimentation. I'd rather we not all have to behave like cable news and tabloid newspapers to attract attention. Do consider some small tubes of super glue around your shop. It isnt the most suitable sealant for deep cuts but it can act as a compromise against getting stitches provided the cut is clean and we'll joined. Avoid stressing and frequently wetting the skin will give the wpund a chance to lap properly and it may be possible to avoid scarring all together. On the finger tips I expect scarring is very likely but ive never had opportunity to obtain stitches for deep finger cuts. For the only cut ive recieved that neither glued or stitched has scarred while all other cuts that have been glued show no long term damage. I truely had not expected a bonding glue to be able to achieve that in the year prior, so i can make a firm recommendation.
In your next batch of lemonaid peel the lemons and mix the sugar, the oil will be osmoticly drawn out by the sugar. The resulting slurry then gets mixed with the squeezed juice and water makes amazing lemonaid.
@@TechIngredients there’s a you tube channel called Food Wishes the video is “state fair lemonade”. It’s delicious, I’ll warn his speaking affection is a little tedious after a while but his recipes are pretty good.
Lol at throwing away the salt option (you could do the same with just acids). It remembers me my chemical engineer studies when I was the only one out of 300 to do it on my own (based on principles a teacher told us in a complete different matter) and end the lab work in less than half the time all others did, with even better yield and purity. Even teachers didn't understood what I did. 25 years later I find another teacher (a little older than I'm now) that ditches it before even testing.
i did my own essence of lavande and camomille , that work easy with disilation and essential oil collector , for a 5 liter of lavandae i got like 3 ml of lavanda oil
Clean it, hold pressure until the bleeding slow and then push the two sides together as well as you can and then superglue it. As soon as that is dry then but a butterfly across it. Get back to work.
Citrus oil is a great degreaser/ multipurpose cleaner... it's the key ingredient in eco friendly cleaners, plus it smells a lot better than the nasty artificial stuff.... The cleaner I use is like 10 to one with water for a bench top spray and wipe... The only question I have is do you need to add an emulsifier of some sort to get the oil to evenly mix with the water? I've heard it makes a great engine degreaser also... Perhaps you could explore the practical uses of citrus oil?
Awesome content as usual! It's always good to show all the prizes and pitfalls in a process. Some of the audience may not understand just how much work goes into your videos
I know this guy is smarter, I made alot of special shapes with a wire. Yes the wire is very long. So I put my model together testing around and It like a hover device now. I haven't tested more power yet lol I'd hate for it to jump through the roof or jump in the sky lol. I gotta contact this guy
To remove the oxygen, would CO2 work like nitrogen would? Because for anyone who doesn't have a use for a nitrogen tank can easily make CO2 instead using baking soda and vinegar (or citric acid after making lemon oil) or by lighting a candle in a closed space until it dies out.
Yes. However, I'd avoid methods that introduce other contaminates such as smoke or vinegar. Try those CO2 cartridges that they sell for carbonating beverages.
Thanks for the video, what was your yield of oil for the 100 lemons that you processed? Also, did the finger require stiches? Send my regards for a speedy recovery for your camera man.
If you melt a citronella candle and dip your finger in it and rub on skin you will not get a mosquito bite, sticks to your hair and and stays on. Don't wash off easily, works great
A year ago I cut my index finger open when I was using a pair of pruners. Oh it hurt like hell and there was blood everywhere but I managed to disinfect the cut and put the skin and flesh back together with superglue lmao It healed just fine
I use to use sweetleaf stevia drops for my coffee. I now use only honey. But ive aquired about 20 2ml? dropper bottles. They would be perfect for this i think? Dark green glass tho. How does green compare to brown or blue? Thank you so much for the vids and alex's sacrifice. (My sons name is also alex😉)
I think that if you were paying TooL softly in the background from those highly engineered speakers, your assistant would have been more focused and not cut himself. I may be biased though.
Since you were making essential oil, you should've used the principles of pseudoscience to magically heal the cut by dabbing 1 single drop of essential oil, not on the wound, but on the ankle opposite the hand that was cut to both cauterize the wound but also lead to 4 days of total consciousness for your assistant aka your looper. So, he'd have that going for him, which is nice. Gunga lagunga.
If you add enough sugar to the lemon juice it will become concentrated and preserved and it wouldn’t need to go in the freezer. This way you wouldn’t have to defrost a gallon to make one glass of juice.
ok so im going to pitch a proposal to my wife to get one of these reflux stills so I can make her a quart or so of essential oil. meanwhile the still will be good for 100s of gallons of distillled spirits. It's a win win :)
I'm new to the channel but I think I'm in for all the blood and injuries that happen here. Ok, but seriously, in my experience oil turns rancid after a year or so. Not sure what chemical process makes oil turn rancid but I thought it was a process that doesn't have to do with temperature/light/air exposure. Would be interesting to know if your methods actually help to keep the oil from turning rancid.
For a future show... I have had plumbers tell me to put magnets on my incoming water supply to my house. The magnets, I was told, makes the water atoms less sticky so my water heater works more efficiently with less scale buildup inside the tank. What is your take on magnets attached to your water supply? Thanks
It doesn't make sense. They are used in sewage treatment plants to grab onto metallic particles, but they don't make non ferrous atoms sticky or unsticky.
You can also use the oils in medicine. I discovered pine oil to be very efective against nasal infections (rub it on your nose or inhale) and I also use blend of oils to prevent funghi growth in a humid basement (rosemary, thyme, oregano, pine, etc.).
The thing is, the olfactory sense is directly connected to the kernel of the operating system of the mind ... like a driver on a PC. It does not pass through the conscious mind ... Ie a baby with no experience of the world has the same experience of smell as anyone else and will also pull a lemon face when given a lemon to taste. There is no processing by thoughts etc. to smell anything. You may have an opinion about the smell after the fact but that is a learned response. The way a smell affects the physical body in regards to how it makes you feel is more objective (the effect on the feeling is universal) than the subjective response so that is why they can heal by directly affecting the feeling response which is at the core of what meaning to be alive is. If you feel good or bad determines your health to very large degree so a good smell is like music to the ears for the nose. 😂😂
Way to hang on, Alex! "Yeah, I might need stitches, but let's finish filming. I'll just hold this blood-soaking rag to my thumb and keep filming while you keep on presenting!"
Top tip for storing liquids and minimising exposure to the air... Glass marbles. I used to do this with wet film developer chemicals. When you've used some of the liquid from a container, instead of trying to find and decant it into a slight smaller container, drop clean/dry marbles into the container until you get the liquid up to the top again. Then screw on the cap.
When life gives you lemons, add some sugar & brew some alcoholic lemonade! eg: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Dogs Alternatively, demand life take back the lemons, and burn down life's house! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ELkgiJD9KuM.html
"Are you feeling dizzy" may sound like a funny question to ask, but some people really do pass out at by the sight of blood, and sitting down might help prevent a falling injury that could be very dangerous to someone's head. It is a good to be aware of this possibility.
This almost happened to me when I cut deep into my finger with an exacto knife. My vision greyed out and I got tunnel vision, luckily I didn't collapse as I was standing at that time.
@@Ergzay It can happen quickly but if you ever sense that again, sit down quickly to reduce risk of injury. I've felt faint a time or two after an intense work out, and experienced that grey and tunnel like vision for maybe 5 seconds or so. I cant tell really, because fractions of a second seemed like forever. I think I pushed myself into a hypo-glycemic state, and I remember passing out once as a young child, and now as an adult I sometimes feel really nauseous, dizzy, clammy cold skin and turn a little green. Symptoms not uncommon to very low blood sugar.
@@kreynolds1123 I have had many seizures, and I have learned to very quickly, find a stable place to anchor my hand, as I carefully, lower my body to my knees. If I am still conscious at that point, I find a safe place on the floor, to put my other hand, and get my head to a place away from anything that could cause damage. All this in about three seconds, but very careful and aware, as I am looking for a way to safely fall, as the seconds go by. I don't know why, but for some reason, once my legs are bent, and I am kneeling on the floor, my head gathers awareness faster than if I were to try to tough it out on my feet.
@@Inertia888 kneeling I belive raises the blood pressure in your head a bit. I have no clue if that's related your clearer thinking or not. Then maybe there's a connection between blood pressure and some kinds of seizures. As Your knees bend, it queezes some blood up. It limits some flow to your feet. And if your heart is maintaining the same pressure, some of that flow is redirected to your head.
I hope Alex heals well and quickly! As always, excellent video where I learned some totally new things I can file away for use when a situation arises.
I enjoyed this immensely, I worked for A. M. Todd Company 1984-1995, an Essential Oils Brokerage. I was in the Jefferson Oregon Field Office. My primary function was delivering 50 gallon drums preseason to the peppermint growers, picking them up when filled with 400 pounds of oil, off loading at warehouse, dewatering, weighing, and inventorying them. When shipped out each barrel was hand loaded onto a semi trailer with a drum truck. 100 per semi trailer, makes me sweat just remembering! 80% chance when you brushed your teeth I handled the oil that flavored your toothpaste 😁 Great Video, Thank You!
im not saying the oils are a cure all but something's it works and its cheaper, colds/shuffy noise's ect. works wonders or at least for me and it's somewhat good for asthma ect. or cleaning up the house/car ect.
We used to supply Bitter Lemon Essence to Schweppes Nigeria, an about this time of year in 1990 the packing staff reported someone had switched the lemon juice barrels from rectangular steel ones to more barrel-shaped plastic ones, nobody'd noticed. The consignment had to go (Christmas eve), so they used them anyway. What was designed to fit a standard 20' container did - with packing! During the journey, it evidently shifted. On arrival, we had a report back, that the doors had become self-opening, and the f##k-truck driver had been deluged in lemon juice! Well it was puetic...
@@JelMain I was fortunate that the shipper we contracted with understood the "Special Assignment," of moving our product. They would send the same man nearly every time. His name was Elliot, we would take lunch together after I loaded the trailer, we became friends and I stayed in contact with him over the years until he passed away. Our loading dock was like some kind of demented test for a driver to back into, over the years I actually had several drivers give up. 100-102 barrels per load averaged 500,000.00 USD in value, depending on market. Cheers Rahere! Merry Christmas!
I wish Alex a speedy recovery. I had a similar injury and can attest to the fact that it's not fun. While I swore like a sailor, Alex acted calm and professional, especially given the fact that he was cutting lemons.
What a trooper. He's leaking fluid and has probably got a good inch and a half sized hole in him and he's got a camera getting close ups instead of going to get stitched up. About 8 years ago working at a hardware store I had someone bump into me while holding a hack saw at the work bench in the crowded receiving room. The blade gently tapped the back of my thumb along the knuckle along one of the creases and left most likely a single layer of cells intact because when I looked to check it I watched the skin peel itself apart and almost passed out where I was standing because I could see under the wrinkly semi loose skin. Tendons are effing gross. And I used to be a butcher, but it's different when your looking into your own body. It still makes me nauseous since there was very very little blood.
You guys are the essence of what the internet should spread !! I wish many science teachers take exemple from your channel ! Thanks again for this awsome content!
You have to dig deep, but it's out there. I'm sure there are better platforms for a more curated experience, but I'm lazy and haven't gone looking. It really would be nice, tho. This also reminds me of why I stopped watching TV all those years ago: You used to find all kinds of interesting stuff to watch, but now it's all taken a BS reality TV spin. Well, that and there were less and less music videos to watch.

I'm reminded of a story from the classic book "Ignition!" by Dr John D. Clarke regarding d-Limonene. He worked at the Naval Air Rocket Test Station (which later became part of Picatinny Arsenal) and for a time in the mid 40's they shared test stands/facilities with Reaction Motors Inc. During this period the people at RMI were testing all sorts of unconventional concoctions for possible use as rocket fuels, and one of these was d-Limonene burned with WFNA (white fuming nitric acid). During this part of the program the area around the test cells was "blanketed with a pleasing odour of lemon oil", an occurrence so far removed from the kind of aromas usually generated by experimental rocket fuels that Clark felt it worthy of noting in his text. Thanks for another interesting video!
Off topic, but after seeing your series on epoxies I though to would be cool to see you tackle bioplastics. An hour or two of you guys talking about the core principals of bioplastics while running experiments on different formulas and how different amounts of this and that can affect the final product sounds like good entertainment to me.
From what I've seen on bioplastics is that they are made using non-petroleum sourced materials but end up still being plastics that have the same issue with biodegrading that traditional plastics have.
Yes please! One of my goals is to sustainably source all of my resources. Considering how much we use plastic this seems essential. (No essential oil polymer joke intended.)
I would really like to see this too. I've dabbled in trying out different approaches and recipes but I'm not as organized or methodotic as these fine gentlemen.
bioplastics are a plage for recicling ... try to mix Polyethylen and some Polyethylenlike biodegradebal plastisc and make some watertubes ....can u imagine what happens ? a company i know did go bankrup becouse they sold whitout knowing partial biodegradebals house water pipes .... and by the way nature alredy takes care of oure problem of plasic polution ... ther are more and more bacterias that can use everyday plastis and use encyms to breack them up ..... hmmm i see a real problem for my job future what if this bacterias did ther job to good ? we realy need stable plastic for our society :)
I think that's why he said he was only filling it 2/3 full. He can thaw it, add water and sugar, and it's ready to drink. My guess is that he's done this before and knows the ratios that produce lemonade to his liking.
You can also use sugar to extract citrus oils from the zest to make what is known as Oleo-Saccharum. You could have then used that citrus oil infused sugar in your lemonade to give it a complex flavor profile.
Grandma used to grate the zest of lemon and orange, then muddle it with sugar and put it in a jar and store it in the fridge. Never thought it had a specific name like oleo-saccharum
Some days ago I harvested olives and I made fine extra virgin olive oil. All the suggestions you made for preserving the essential oil can be applied for the olive oil too. I found the perfect excuse to obtain a nitrogen cylinder 😂. Thank you 👍
Liquid Nitrogen can also be applied via Qtip to freeze warts, only reapply if after the scab sloughs any of the wart survived. Plantar warts however, should be excised from the side of the foot by a Podiatrist, because the roots are deep & scarring can hurt like having a rock in your shoe... forever (gasp).
It is usually a man that talks like this, and we always need to give so many reasons to get something to "play" with even if in the end we are doing something for the benefit of everyone else. Wives are so tough to convince. Good for you!
I saw that cut coming the first time I saw him cut the lemon holding it incorrectly. BTW, superglue is a great instant stitch for minor cuts in a pinch. There is also liquid skin makes a nice addition to a first aid kit.
in his defence, he's a kid and most kids don't know how to cut vegetables and hold knife properly. But he handled himself excellently after injury though. didn't panicked, remained calm and kept chugging forward with recording without a single complaint
