Extracting caffeine and making a potent energy drink to survive school 

If you’re going to put that much caffeine to make the “redder bull” you need to get better scales. Good video.

I gotta mention, you can be a bit more aggressive with the sep funnel. It does form an emulsion if it was done too vigorously, but if the layers doesn't come in contact with each other with the highest surface area possible, the yield will be decreased significantly. I'm talking from experience.

That's about enough caffeine to kill 2 adult men, lol. 3000mg in a drink has actually happened before. An Australian energy drink company screwed up their math and a bartender died when she drank one of the first cans from that batch.

Well done extraction!👍 Entertaining presentation, that's exactly my kind of humour. 😆 Very appropriate safety precautions and warnings. It's a pleasure to watch such planful work and the attention you pay on each step (I especially loved it how gently you washed the tiny filter residue). Three little hints: - An electric grinder isn't very expensive, but facilitates shredding immensely. - Foodsafe substances can be dried very well in the kitchen oven. - Coffein sublimates rather than it melts. I guess it just gave off remaining moisture here.

The caffeine extraction is one of the best extractions I've ever made btw: very nice video and I'm Polish too

Your Polish coffee tree is most efficient! It even bags the coffee seeds for you!

Rip snail 🐌 😢

Infra-red bull

Awesome that you drank it! Confidence in your chemistry! I remember my lab partner and I in organic chemistry saw a whole jar of powdered caffeine on one of the shelves in the lab and so we joked about snorting some. The teacher overheard us and laughed with us but told us that it probably wasn't pure enough to safely snort. lmao Had it not been one of our earlier classes during our year of organic chemistry, I probably would have joked back at the teacher that maybe we should run an extra experiment and run a few distillations to sufficiently purify the caffeine. lol Bet it would have really hurt if we seriously tried to snort it though. Ouch!

How funny would it have been if that snail started flying

@13:14 You managed to kill the snail... The Snail !!! (look it up , its a meme)

F in chat for that snail.

Love that spot-washing of the caffeine crystals in the vacuum filter, and your ribbing of Nigel, both executed perfectly.

The ślimak in the beaker was actually a slug, not a snail, as it has no shell

Just found your channel, instantly subscribed and binged all your videos! Much love!

Beautiful !!!

I love this. You're like a middle ground between NileRed and Explosions&Fire. Keep up the good(?) work.

"Isn't that beautiful?" To me it looks like a combination of lard, fiberglass and cotton balls.

10:50 that ethanol looks a lot lower than the first experiment 🥴 that little beaker washing the crystals = half a bottle Yup seems right to me 👍

wallace hammering along with you had me in tears

After two videos, this being my third, I am completely obsessed ❤

add any kind of powder to a drink with carbonated water will start foaming because powder has a big surface area there is a kids experiment called dancing raisins were the raisins are drop in to soda-pop the rinkles collect bubble and flote to the top they pop it sinks down and starts over

This is a great chemistry channel, you deserve more subscribers (but all I can offer is one more)

Keep making videos like this and you'll be rich enough to buy some big ol beakers in no time :)

Good video 🐌

I wonder how difficult it would be to mass produce caffeine chemically to use as a pesticide.

3g of coffeine? heart palpitations here we come :D

It has at least 100% of the LD 50 in every can, guaranteed.

17:46 Forbidden cotton candy...

I found caffeine pills that are just pure caffeine in gelcaps. This is easier to measure out small quantities than bulk powder, as each capsule is 200mg. That makes it easy to use when making a batch of my own drink recipes.

Nice one! Greetings from Germany!

forbidden cotton candy

when you were pounding those tablets in a bag, with a hammer. I'm thinking. Seems that that would be the perfect use for my coffee grinder. It grinds down to 00, for espresso . It would probably still benefit by going over to the (mortar, pestle). But it would be a really good first step.

19:40 my unintelligent self wouldve started drinking the foam so it doesn't overflow 💀

Nice video, but one thing.. you should probably get a glass plate or something to rest your equipment on top of... DCM and other solvents, even Acetone could just destroy the finish on the lovely wooden floorboard you got there

What concentration of dichloromethane and sodium carbonate should i use?

I thought I'll have smth like a nilered video but no, I realized it when you played music in the beginning, I don't remember I ever heard music in nilered

This is what the F1 racing team use to fuel it's cars. Also makes a good jet fuel for the F22

I have the exact same scale you have. 😮

Caffeine tolerance level: Narcolepsy

Amazing job well done how are you love your work

6 hours = 5 Lab minutes 😂👏

Where can I get your Redder Bull??? I am in EU

yo that's the track dankpods uses

Panera lemonade recipe

Infrared Bull?

Did you use caffeine before this video?

I have heard that in industry caffeine could be extracted from tea production waste (tea dust). Frugal yield of your method suggests the existence of more efficient techniques. Am i wrong?

caffeine isn't "quite addictive" per se; it's not completely non-addictive, but its risk is fairly low compared to alcohol and nicotine, the other two most common legal recreational psychoactive substances.

13:37 Has it really to be a separate step? Why not ad a good amount of spirit and heat the mix to 45C until boiling stops? Then just add more spirit, if necessary.

6 caffeine pills in one drink!

If you drink this you will be able to taste music and hear colours

Yeah you can buy 5 g of pure caffeine crazy without a good scale u can easily overdose. U need a good scale that can measure accurately 50 to 100 mg. 1 g of caffeine could kill.

That chloroform clip was funny

And I thought the Panera Bread Charged Lemonade had a lot of caffeine

Dude could you please do the experiments I cannot find any answers to? Can you dissolve sugar in salt-saturated + water solution? What happens if you throw salt through a stream of salt-saturated +water solution? Will it be dry after leaving the stream?

19Minutes: Dude, it was nice to knowing you....hahhaha

Any alkaloids can be extracted using this method though the alkaloid may be weak acid or weak base? BTW nice "The redder bull"😂

Not even snails are safe in the polish hood

Coffee plant became coffee post

if you extract it from tea you are going to get a lot of theobromine contamination

If you drank that ... seek medical help . ALSO: you could have extracted the caffiene in the 95% ethanol by itself .. you didnt need to mess with the DCM at all.

If that pan is non-stick you gave yourself cancer. GG

you may wanna put the mic a little closer to your mouth and maybe try to talk a litlle slower. especially in the beginning of the video it was little hard to understand you. it might help if you used some kind of mic-passthrough so you can here yourself talk. great video

twice in my life I took 1600 Mg of caffeine. You do NOT want to consume 3 grams in one sitting. It will not be fun.

An animal commited suicide in your beaker. Welcome to the RU-vid Chemistry Club! 😂

I like your accent, where are you from?

caffeine

I overdosed caffeine accidentally once (I did something like 1.5-2g) (i am not a heavy caffeine user... and the pills had more than I expected and I didn't check), it was one of the worst experiences of my life, easily. And I have overdosed on other things when I had more problems in my life, (never lethal LD-50 overdose amounts, but severe overdoses nonetheless, that should have gone to the ER). It was the worst by far, I truly felt like I was dying, because I guess I was. Funny how American healthcare works where I didn't even go to the hospital or ER bc I would rather die than have the debt lmao hey! we have the same brand of kitchen pans!

Ohh boy, do i see a cross over episode with ChubbyEmu in the near future?! "A amateur chemist put 3 grams of caffeine into a redbull, this is what happened to his heart"ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sylqJ0NEVJw.html

poor snail...

i wish red bull came to this comment section

Such a shame I can’t drink this bc it’s not edible

Couldn't you just throw the pills in water filter out the cellulose and then boil off the water?

that was a homeless snail aka a slug

nice but where do u buy chloroform? lol

OMG POLSKA

Ahoj

polish chemistry

There isn't an "x" in "espresso"

"Ethanol is toxic" Ethanol has a higher LD50 than caffeine.

899th like, nice

YOU DRANK THAT????

Amateur is apt for this channel. But I love to see the process of growth/discovery/experimentation. Even though I could perform this 100x better I still enjoyed watching lol.

I let my digestive tract extract my caffeine. Most efficient method, usually 100% yield. ... jokes aside, unironically get a coffee grinder.

Lol... That's fucked up man

3000mg of caffeine is like LD99

Do you have discord? I would like to chat with you
