Faraday's Electrochemistry: The Mysterious Nature of Oxidation 

You have a talent for putting the warmth back into cold hard science. It's as relaxed and aesthetically pleasing as it is informative. If "steampunk" is just brash and hollow, this must be "steamhippy" because it's calm and fulfilling!

These videos make me feel like a student in ancient Egypt!

This is how I wished chemistry should be taught. When I was in school, chemistry books would only talk in terms of electrons. Even though I knew what electrons are at that time, I did not like to start learning chemistry using the language of electrons. I wanted to know how chemists thought of discovering chemistry, not what they discovered.

I'm retired and have the widest interest in almost every aspect of this amazing planet. The way you explain things is a breath of fresh air. Enjoy and keep it real and hype free. 💯

Great video as always! I know how you feel about electrochemistry, it's a DEEP rabbit hole and is the closest thing to magic that actually exists. It can be ridiculously complex too.

I have never seen science so faithfully representrd as a process of questioning, hypothesizing, testing, and discovering. Bravo. Even as someone who technically 'knew' all this, after watching this video I feel that I more fully understand the threads that tie it sll together. Thank you.

You move the viewer effortlessly from the simple to complex. Bravo.

Neat video, but I'm curious about something unrelated: Where are you from, that many of your "o" sounds become "u"? "More" turned into "mur", "born" to "burn", but "or" stayed "or"

Fascinating and brilliantly presented. I love your unique take on the past scientific discoveries and how you bring them to life here and now.

Thank you I’m 76. Years old took chemistry in college but was never shown these experiments to get real understanding

With your hand-made equipment and teaching style based directly on the work of great scientists you could easily leverage this into a teaching career. But perhaps not in conventional academia.

Do I understand everything that's happening? Absolutely not, but you explain it very well lmao! Really getting me interested in chemistry in general

Excelent video about my favourite field of chemistry! glad i subscribed to this channel

I love how you talk like some old (al)chemist's manuscript. also more electrolysis (yay)

This is one of the most well put together videos I've ever seen. From the explanations which are detailed, easy to understand and without being dumbed down. Right to the visuals and hand crafted components. Literally a work of art.

I love your work you are a true chemist following there foot steps this should be though in university.

Amazing job well done how are you

First video I've seen of yours and WOW oh WOW. Beautiful, just amazing. Well done.

Thank you very much. I have seen all your videos that are available. Please make more!

I want to try and recreate some of these smaller projects, some of them are so simple like the oil lamp blowtorch that I'd be able to have loads of fun with.

Electrochemistry involves a lot of woodworking! :p

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this and all of your videos. Your videos are like conversations in which I don't have to talk, LOL! A question comes to mind and - abracadabra - you answer it!!

The most aesthetic battery, I’ve ever seen ..

Excellent video! I wish you had more viewers! Thanks a lot

Beautiful presentation. You lost me on several occasions. It may be helpful to show animated drawings that show what you mean also.

Love this man keep up the awesome videos

this video is a piece of art, just like your tools and apparatuses, glad to learn and enjoy at the same time, keep them coming!

This is, by far, the best science education/explanation video I have ever seen, and by god I've seen my share of such

love your content!! I've never been so invested in rust.

Dude .... film everything you do.. youre going to be a huge success.. brilliant videos brilliant concepts. Absolutely 💯

I don't know about egypt...that's all speculation. But the battery pile existed 80 yrs before there was anything to plug it into! During that time people were hooking up frogs, arms and various nerves. They were also discovering new gasses and elements and chemical processes. Electricity was a major boon to science, particularly chemistry and physics.

kiddo, youre doing great work. I could watch and listen for hours youre a brilliant young man by the sound of your voice. Love seeing these things youre working on. Thank you for making these videos

Here's an idea: Measure the intensity of Earth's magnetic field using only a D.C. power source, an ammeter, a switch, a resistor/load, a long wire and a compass placed at varying distances from said wire. I did this as a science fair experiment with my son in his middle school. Measuring the distance turned out to be the crucial, most difficult step. Reference the Biot-Savart law applied to an infinitely long, infinitely thin D.C. current-carrying wire. 😉

Excellent!! Clear real life explanations, exploring what happens in real worlds, nature, and its possible direct use to create new Natural works. It is the research we need to understand a lot of ancient still not understood works, thay we coulf still use and produce, in cheaper direct more efficient ways than many modern works with petrolwum for instance. T understand geoplymers and "stone" materials. Is urgent to research and recreaten possible old technics, not only in Egypt but Ancient America. Ive been trying to interest advanced physics academics, but they still dont see the strange facts all around, here in old Mexico. Your work is excellent and it will be fantastic if you go into old possible proceedings, for instance the producing and uses of lime. Recently, some people discovered the excellent making and use of what is called Roman cement or concrete. 👌🏻🙏🤗

This video earned a subscribe from me.. Great work!

Where are you from? Your accent is interesting. You say “Er” instead of saying “Or”.

I worked for a company that produced ozone cells. Ozone has the effect of oxidation on material that it comes into contact with. The cells that this company built were used in purification of water and ozone rich water to clean fruit and vegetables.

Keep at it . The future is magnet and graphite I see you used one I'm to old if you were in CT I would fund you I already know how to make a car run on water I did it in 70s and talked to Bob Lasar when he ran his jet car. I was only injecting it with gas to slow the burn rate but learned I got more power When I tried to run on water I got threats We all know what happened to Bob I wish we had a Town we could all work away from the colleges and professors who really are informant for big business Be free and release what you know Salt Water cars coming soon

Electrochemistry is the best kind of chemistry nyuhh

The Pyramid seems like it could easily be some type of electrical machine similar to this!! The water under it.. the stones used.. all the things removed from it long ago..

😍

Bonus points for using an oxidized finish on the wood..

Fun tip: popsicle sticks can be used as low tech ph strips. Hydroxide turns wood darker and acid turns wood lighter.

The science is well explained and interesting ; yet I am perplexed by the narrator's vowel changes

Volta got the idea for the voltaic pile from the `torpedo fish` They give an electric shock, and when cut open they reveal a stack of cells creating an electrical potential difference,

I fell like he is saying myrrh instead of more to test my OCD. - 6:02, out. You win.

i hope your have great, great grand kids and that one of them ends up with the entire collection of this handmade stuff and has zero clue who you are or why you were so crazy and good with your hands.

Excellent, could definitely watch longer talks. Great demonstrations and explanations 👌🙏 Making all your own kit too .... awesome

I see the so called "crisis in cosmology" but it's these properties with-in nature like the electromagnetic/electrical fields that fuel so much optimism with-in me that we will figure these things out soon. There are scales in our universe that are so immense, it's understandable if we can barely grasp them. Dynamic chaotic systems are hard for our simulations to comprehend. Especially vast systems. What if at those immense scales, we don't yet fully grasp how things fully work? Like density, friction, Electromagnetism, static charges, fluid dynamics, temperature, pressure, radiation, velocity, gravity, etc. *I think there is a lot left to learn about these behaviors on VAST scales throughout our cosmos? Especially when talking about scales of galactic filaments, multiple galaxies interacting, and many many more types of cosmic bodies & structures. We are getting better & better at certain things but some things are just so vast that it's understandable if we don't fully grasp them yet. I'm curious to see where things go as we advance our ability to measure & comprehend these things. Not just on large scales but the extremely small scale as well. When it comes down to our simulations, the smallest changes in our measurements can change so much. I just hope we figure certain things out with-in my lifetime. I'm really curious where future discoveries will lead us. My gut feeling tells me the answers are much more in our face than anyone truly recognizes.. Nature has a way of finding unique ways it likes to function and then once we learn that, we end up seeing Nature uses these processes in multiple ways across the universe. Regardless if we solve certain unanswered questions or not? I'll definitely at least continue to enjoy learning how Nature functions.

You would definitely like the anime Dr Stone.

Really nice video! I like the feeling of discovering through experimentation! Thanks 😄

This is the joy that science gave to every famous scientist.

🎉 iron crystals ARE very square. Many 90 degree corners and corners are points of initial decay by heat / energy. Making corrosion easier.

Thanks alot good sir....this is good stuff!!!

bravo 👏 first time seeing your videos. i’m hooked. you’re an incredible teacher and the devices you construct are beautiful

Your woodworking skills are amazing. Instead of quick and dirty test gear, you go the extra distance with something that looks good, as well.

Now direct the hydrogen produced to a dry cell of copper oxide or iron oxide. The hydrogen gas will donate an electron to reverse the oxide back to the original metal. This way, the hydrogen produced will react to form water and also provide current.

a piece of iron sitting or partially buried on the ground acts as a shorted battery... my chemistry professor always said that "rusting of metal" is an electrochemistry phenomena.

wonderful video. I especially like the last part with the 2 beakers of sodium sulfate solution. So the negative pole is producing H2 gas and the positive pole is producing O2 gas. Cool stuff.

Love your video, great delivery. I might look at popping some spaces between sentences on occasion, to give some breathing room between thoughts though! Overall, awesome work.

you say "or" as "er" in forth, born ,more, or etc.

keeping a close ion this channel 😂

Thank you for the time spent on making the video. While watching I have noticed that in the beginning you had shown magnesium and water without any electrical wiring attached, it caught my attention because the nature of the metal giving off a reaction which is very interesting, it's like a dry seed absorbing water and breathing.

Love this video, these experiments helped solidify some chemistry knowledge I already had!

Very nice I enjoyed it very much

This is my first video I watched from you and I noticed that 3 minutes after I started the video I wasn’t able to stop watching and I started to question myself why? The answer is the narrative is very organic that it’s basically pull me into the video to focus all my attention to the information that is being presented. Thank you for such valuable insight.

Using a positive electrode potential metal and a negative one. Aluminium and graphite rod work well. Zinc and copper. Basically the greater differential between the two the greater energy potential

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

My work is piping systems and there this topic is really critical. Thank you for this!

Bro you dudes need to like this mans video! I’ve learned a bunch of cool stuff 👌🏼

Nice video, subscribed!

Faraday become my role model as human being since i read his biography when i was 11.

Mesmerizing/

wow nice thanks

Myrrh = more Err = or

Informative, instructional, explanatory. Fluent and smooth. Very educational with many references. Truly, A great watch.

Great video. btw -- Your speech and phrasings sounds a bit like Styropyro.

"back and ferth"

You're an amazingly talented craftsman, scientist, historian and teacher! Really enjoyed this video.

Awesome project, your narration is very pleasant as well

The merr reactive metal makes merr voltage!!

As a fan of science and history and history of science.... I love your apparatus big time.

This video is calming me into a gentle reminder of that which I Resonate to. Thank you for offering me a way to educate myself further on this Incredible Subject. This is Exactly where we need to Continue Exploring and offer an absolute Service, to Hold Independence and True Freedom from the Grasps of the acceleration of Electromagnetic Death to life. Praise God!!!!!

Wow, I love your videos they keep getting better, I hope you keep up the grate work this is so interesting!

Causing reactions in chemicals using electrons alone.😊😊😊 AWESOME !🎉🎉🎉

Awesome video dude! Ty for the quality and str8 foreward/ no bullshttn informative content!! Stoked to have found your channel!!❤

As an electrician and electronic hobbyist of many years (god I can count that in decades now😅😬), I thought I had a fair enough understanding of electricity but you, good sir, have reminded me that we never do stop (and should not stop) learning. Thanks for teaching me something new. And to any younger folks watching this, you are all capable of great things, being smart is a decision, not luck of the draw. So don’t hold yourselves back.

that ph indicator experiment was very cool

Well, water can be had from air, from the atmosphere, in the form of condensed water vapor that is ever-present ... what may have to take place is, a dew point above that of the temperature of the iron object, in which case WV will condense on the iron body ... this can occur during radiative cooling at night, for instance.

And don't forget Mary Shellies futuristic dystopian science thriller "Frankenstein".

'Mōre' not 'mur', fōr not fur, fōrm not furm, nōrmal not nurmal, your speech impediment seems intentional and its off-putting. Eplure? Really 'Explōre'

Excellent

A demonstration of Benjamin Franklin's discovery of electricity would be fire

I can't wait to watch some "murr" of your videos. Lol just joking with you. But seriously, very interesting video. Informative, entertaining, detailed, and well put together. I'll have to watch some of your other videos when I get a chance.

Can you sell some of your devices. I am in Aerospace Engineering and I work with radio frequency, I discover something, and I will like to see a certain combustion reaction to a chemical compound affected by radio frequency.

This was a dope video How are you so well spoken and intelligent, yet butcher the sound of "or" as in "more" or "born" "source" etc. You pronounce it the same way you pronounce "burn" "fur" or "dirt' or "hurt" or inert.. Or and ur are not even supposed to be similar lol xD Its not as big of a deal as im naking it, it was just very present in this video. I like all your videos, but i cant ever unhear it when i watch them Oh perfect example. You pronounce form the same way you would firm. Do you know what im saying? Maybe im crazy xD

I have been dumbfounded by the sensationalism of the recent “dark oxygen” paper that was published. Apparently every human except for a few hundred have always believed fanatically that photosynthesis is the only pathway that creates oxygen. I mean galvanism is nowhere near modern nor is metal catalysis.

My 1990 chevy 2500 it will run just fine then the injectors will just stop then engine will die sometimes other times they start working again and engine will keep running. Any thoughts on that??? I just replaced the pump, roter cap, plugs, oil position sensor an on and on.
