Metal Refining & Recovery, Episode 23: Recovering Inquart Silver 

That's my thoughts. At this point, I think they might start making up reasons to pull his videos.

Why would they pull his videos? Hes awesome...

If you pay his Patreon you can watch the videos while they're Unlisted, that's usually when they're taken down, before most people tend to watch. That also means the people (or person) that reports his videos is a Patreon supporter. Unless it was automatically taken down but his "How to make Nitrogen" videos (old and new) get taken down by reporting.

Why tf are they taken down though? ...

I don't know, Cody said he doesn't know why he's being targeted because King of Random and many others have similar videos that aren't being taken down. Even his old video that I subbed to him for was "Making Gun Powder from Urine" was taken down and that's been on RU-vid for like 6+ years

lol the irony

lol

Σωτηρηε Ντασκας why's it ironic, I must be out of the loop

sorry i not know good english

Dylan Gracias I totally agree with you.

Quality comment

:D

was expecting something not dissapointed

ahhhhhh, this is such a wonderful comment. I hope seeing stuff like this makes him feel as warm and fuzzy inside as it did me, lol. keep learning! ❤️

@@brandonknight7240 bunnies! :D

This is what its all about! Sharing knowledge and experience. Just rememeber to pass it on to anyone who succeeds you!

Until the widespread development of electrochemistry that's exactly how it was done.

Next up: using iron to refine the copper.

Hes just gonna work his way down the alchemical scale till he reaches lead and wisdom

You could actually use zinc powder to drop the copper out of solution

Deatheraux or aluminum

Hey, we have the same profile pic!

Freizeitflugsphäre I would say best chemist. Best physics teacher is Yearney.

Ben M oh cool! Haven't heard from him until now!😃

Ben M could you send a link to his channel? Cant find him...

Lol, this is true. I could actually see him being a collage chemist teacher. Tbh i think it would be awesome if he came to me school for a week.

He knows his Stuff! He had a Strong Family Background in Science and Mining. But, I wish he would use his Safety Glasses. He's going to get Platinosis! No Cure, and it is a Silent Killer!

Maybe but which is changing? the wall clock or the camera?

My guess is the camera since it seemed like every time the clock was off the image would have been harder to compress due to something changing or perhaps it took a little time to readjust to a different amount of light.

Nice

Something smells fishy here

Cody'sLab did you have a conversation with yourself? Isn't that post from your second channel?

More like Uranus

Yes but Jupiter has better PR...

That's what I was thinking! You could start a business selling those lol.

Hmm, a $400+ lava lamp with hazardous chemicals? Shut up and take my money!

What he said though should have people picking over eBay though. Cody might have made so much money, he's buying up more now 😁

I heard of this thing called freedom of information.. Cody's been proponent of it quite some time. Because the value of the gold was so essential on the video, it was kinda weird to then censor one number because of "concern of public jumping the gun". What made those people in Patreon so trustworthy that they wouldn't start hoarding gold from ebay? Buck a month makes you smart? People with access beyond paywall do know what to do and the others don't? Yeah, that was not the Cody's proudest moment. Besides that, i am happy subscriber and will be long into the foreseeable future. // No one is immune to criticism

Alaric Balthi the object, is Cody doesn't seem to be the best at costing out every consumable used. Chemicals and electricity are part of the cost. If he calculated in time, it would probably always be a loss at these low volumes.

lightdark00 you have tp take into account that cody does either recyle some of his chemicals or make some of his own.

@Alaric Balthi: I think the idea is that if a bunch of his patrons jump on a bad investment, it's hurting a lot fewer people than if a few of his subscribers jump on it. (Also, if they have money to be patrons, they're less likely to need a good ROI to get by.)

I was wondering why he didn't use an air stone, maybe this was to reduce the amount of nitrogen dioxide that was produced from the inquarting? Can you eleborate if you see this Cody?

How does one go about casting in that shape?

“Monolithic turd” lol

+vmp916 easy way would be to use one half of a waffle iron :D or just do like Cody did, except instead of digging out a trench in the mold, dig out a grid.

Or screw casting altogether and use ezaf to acquire stripped copper wire zero need to remelt and could have hooked up to a DC converted power supply with a zinc cathode/ anode to expedite the entire process and a stir bar/ airstone really would not have helped unless the mix was kept at a constant regulated / elevated temp which would have also expedited the process

I appreciate how you care enough about the quality of your comments to edit them even if no one ends up seeing them.

@@TabooGroundhog cringe bro

Where the hell did all my spoons go? - Cody's mom

Sicko! LOL

Maybe she still does.We're just not allowed to see them 'cuz Cody's dad would get mad.

What nice things?

no

First you have to extract the titanium from ore with a stream of chlorine gas at high temperatures, then it has to be heated to like 2200 degrees with a reducing metal under an inert atmosphere in a steel reaction vessel and held at that Tempe for a few days until it's done reacting. It's not really something you can do at home.

me usually I understand the videos but I have no idea what this glowing blue stuff is

O I could just react the copper carbonate with charcoal. ;)

+Cody'sLab The charcoal method is indeed a better alternative as the iron method would be much slower.

ooo nice Then you could allow the saplings to uptake the CO2 produced

Nah just take the copper solution to the scrap yard as is, let them deal with it

Manh Do que hongo

You still dont get to demand anything from anyone just because you are struggling financially.

gacekky1 answering turninator. But I'm not so sure now I understood what he is talking about.

Arne Schwarz not everyone has the money just throw at people

hmm might take another 5 years to develop the technology but we're making strides

Average People I would buy one for sure

That was gypsum board.

I assume it is because it gives a better surface area than if the copper was all smooth.

And a ceramic plate would explode from the thermal shock

Int theory yes, you'd have to use Lithium to get the Chlorine to switch over from the Sodium. In practice this would quite difficult and expensive.

@@GlebReawer could also use electrolysis of molten table salt

Nitroglycerin burns just like gunpowder, In-fact its used in some smokeless powder compositions. now if you made a shaped charge and focus the energy of a bunch of detonating high explosives into a metal cone then you can darn near get orbital velocities. and actually If you get the cone to compress some hydrogen and focus that onto a thin piece of metal foil speeds up to the escape velocity of Jupiter (60 km/s) have been obtained.

rail gun

Cody'sLab thats incredible. I know about shape charges, but I didnt know they were that fast. Wow. I have a question: Would it be worth trying to salvage the guts of my catalytic converter if its old and clogged? Thats my project for today, should i keep it or toss it?

I didnt know that either ...but is isnt possible to shoot them like a rifle, i thought is would be possible to shoot faster with better explosives. Taofledermaus shoot aluminum balls at very high speeds, but he reached the maximum velocity.

Yay 1 Hi Yay. The answer is, unfortunately not. Most millitary propellants make use of an explosove rather than gunpowder. Smokeless powders are normally based on nitrocellulose (we call them single-base). Medium calibre ammunition will normally use two explosives (hence double-base). Currently the state-of-the-art for large calibre weapons is triple-base (you guessed it - three energetic materials. The muzzle velocities, though are all on the order of a 1000 m/s - the fastest projectile I ever designed was a sub-calibre fragment simulator fired from a 30 mm weapon and it clocked at 2700 m/s. The reason the velocities achievable do not scale with the "potency" of the explosive is that it is not the explosive that is doing the job. What is really happening is that tge energetic material releases lots of gas when ignited. This gas, at high pressure, expands and it is the expansion that drives the projectile. The projectile velocity is limited by the acoustic velocity (how fast sound or a wave can propagate in a gas) in the gas driving the projectile. The acoustic velocity can be calculated from sqrt (gamma×R×T) where gamma is the ratio of the specific heats of the gas, R is the specific gas constant, and T is the flame temperature. It is gamma and R that is killing us, the flame temperature is normally aroind 2500-3000 K for energetic materials...gamma will always be small (close to 1) for very hot gasses and R is the universal gas constant, Ru = 8314 J/kg divided by the molecular mass of the gas. Most explosives when reacted ti completion produce CO2, H2O and various oxides of N - the molecular mass is then also normally in quite a tight band resulting in a R value of close to 300 J/kg. This sucks since the sqrt of 3000 K x 300 J/kg is 948 m/s. For my fast projectile we used a propellant that produces a high gamma and a low molecular mass. This is exactly why we use light gas guns to propel very fast projectiles - the molecular mass of the propellant (hydrogen or helium) is so low we can get very high acoustic velocities.
