Silver Cell Harvest Hand Poured Silver Bar 

Correct

Since the sterling silver is a refining material that he uses in his refining of gold, and this is a byproduct of his work, and he can turn around and recycle his refining material for additional profits for his business, I don't understand the public service announcement lol I think we can all deduce that you need base materials to eloctrolitically refine pure silver from, and that it isn't just coming from the void. Thank you for your incredibly pedantic and utterly useless disclaimer.

@@barberjr1742honestly I’m glad he wrote that and was searching the comments for someone to explain what was going on.

Thank you for the explanation. I just couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that he is “growing” silver.

@@barberjr1742the average person doesn’t understand even the basics of chemistry. The title is purposely misleading

Some of our elements are stunningly beautiful, for sure. Then of course, there's the really dangerous ones, and the really ethereal ones. All are amazing in their own way, I think.

I'm at the age where that tinkling electrolyte required a visit to the bathroom.

I've been watching his videos for a long time, I have learned a lot, I think I'm almost ready to start a refinement of gold from jewelry, which will give the the opportunity to start a silver cell, getting nitric acid is a bit tough it seems, not many if any places cary it on hand

​@@damiansullivan9728yes, this does seem to be an issue. i havent had much luck prepping myself. what I might have to do is make some via other means. i cant justify buying a couple gallons if i don't end up getting into the hobby.

I too have been bitten by the silver bug. I absolutely blame Sreetips and a couple other RU-vidrs. It's a good affliction to have though. I am starting small just experimenting for now and not trying to refine any huge quantities. I am dealing with only silver for now, I don't feel comfortable playing around with gold and possibly making a very expensive mistake. As far as nitric acid, I just started out by buying 10 one ounce bottles from Amazon. They also offer larger bottles at better prices. It's more expensive than quantity yes, but like I said, I'm starting small. You can also get quartz stir rods, beakers, ceramic wool, basically everything you need from there. I'm sure there are many other places as well. I hope to have a cell up and running by the end of June. Good luck to you if you have a go at it, and stay safe.

Thank you!

Yeah it looked a bit dangerous at the end there. Having another person on that last step (pouring) would be ideal.

I’m starting a stack of 2 kilo silver bars.

That was my take too. All that work to grow and process it. It must become a part of you at some point. I've done business with JMB for a few years now. 😇🤑🤣

That’s why they set the price at about double its true value.

Actually, the price is only about 1/4 of it’s true value.

@@sreetipsyeah I saw that you explained that in another comment. Good man I wouldn’t sell it at the current spot value either.

Very cool visual effect. I agree.

Don't understand trying to sell at $50 a ounce when an ounce of silver plus buy premium today is around $30 a ounce. Am I missing something here?

Here’s what’s missing: I really didn’t want to sell it because I know when silver gets to a hundred bucks then that bar will be twice as valuable. So, if I do make a sale, then I’m not going to let it go for the grossly undervalued thirty bucks (with premium). If I can’t get fifty, I’ll just keep it. Time is on my side. Hope this helps.

@@sreetips I see that makes sense. Understood. What did you start out with in the silver cell to make the silver?

I refine gold. I use sterling silver, that I buy at estate sales, to refine the scrap gold. I recover the silver from that, melt into shot, and run it through my silver cell. The cell converts the impure silver (about 980 parts per thousand silver) to high purity four nines fine (9999 parts per ten thousand) pure elemental silver metal. The impure silver is added to the anode basket. The anode basket is suspended in the silver nitrate electrolyte. I pass an electric current through the impure silver. The silver dissolves, passes through the Dacron filter, travels through the silver nitrate electrolyte, and deposits on the stainless steel bowl (the cathode). The bowl is connected to the negative pole of the power supply. The process only deposits pure silver on the cathode. So I’m refining the impure silver, into high purity silver. When it’s full, I harvest the pure silver crystal, put it away and forget about it. Then I repeat the whole thing again.

Also, I wonder if you couldn't scoop out that silver with a stainless spoon, once you've got it scraped down.

Probably could

I dread rinsing the silver off

I'd bet good money he has casted silver bullets.

Fun fact: The Sreetips family has been providing silver to the Helsing family for generations 😂

🤣🤣😂😂👍

For Sreetips Try a pasta sauce ladel/scoop combined with the scraper to move silver across from the stainless steel bowl to beaker until it gets a little lighter. Don’t want to get sore wrists and or risk dropping kg of silver everywhere!

​@@danger3_255 That's a great idea! Hey @sreetips ! Got any way to cast some high purity silver bullets? I bet they'd go over REALLY well at the eBay store

That’s exactly how I do it.

I would recommend emptying the bowl in a fine strainer (over a large beaker).

Close to five nines.

Heisenberg.

Thank you!

Thank you

Sound right

Thank you, I have an electric furnace. But it takes longer than the torch does.

$3500 for $2000 worth of silver? I would just assume go buy 2 kilo bars from hero or monument, they have very low premiums on those size bars they also come with a serial number and a stamp from a reputable refinery so they are easy to resell. I'd be interested and I know you have a lot of time but $50 per oz is way to much, it could be a very long time before we ever see that money back, silver is finally just starting to come to life again after years and really it ain't much especially if you consider it's supposed to follow gold and gold is on fire.

Goooood evening!

​@@sreetipsGuten Abend

Could you run the silver back through to refine it further?

@@johngalt2506 You could, but it is a waste of effort (it already is about five nines).

Helllllo you two 🌺🌺🔥

And there’s something primal about melting with fire. Especially when the metal is SILVER.

I just try to keep it simple

Great idea. At least a special Sreetips makers mark.

this was why i bought my gram of gold sponge just to say that i have something from one of my favorite youtubers

With that nitric in the electrolyte I would recommend plastic, but otherwise the same idea. As a side benefit, you can use it for a first rinse immediately after.

@@apveening Good thinking!

TBH, they're probably too fragile.

That would definitely make some unique jewellery! Epoxy would have hard time to get to all nooks and crannies of the crystal, but the bubbles left might produce some nice effects on them. Ultrasound might break up the finest branches, but not sure.

​@@ottolehikoinen6193vacuum cure the epoxy, that'll pull the air bubbles out right quick.

@@LexYeen It might break the crystal, though. Trial and error will tell us. At some point, someone's going to stop commenting on here and just get up and DO it. When they do, I hope they tell the rest of us how it went.

Not so far

he's the man on the silver mountain (Rainbow) FTFY.

@@gregdrew874 👍👌

That time lapse was near the end of the run with the filter clogged and current flow, and therefore silver consumption, was slow. I’ll do another from the very start with a clean filter and it should much faster and more dramatic.

Thank you

Thank you

What does that cost to produce?

@@icedragon1000 i got my impure gold and silver from old jewellery and computer hardware bought from pawn shops and junk stores, all together i have about $600 invested

The price is terribly high.

Sreetips wants to buy, not sell!

I’ll do another but this time at the beginning when the filter is clean and the silver gets consumed much faster.

Fine mesh screen and curved spatula, thank you.
