Turning a BLOB into PURE SILVER! 

Turning a blob into pure gold is pretty sweet. Turning the waste into pure silver? Now that's what I call a silver lining

Seeing you handle silver with your bare hands assures me that you're not a werewolf. That's always nice to see in content creators

my anxiety levels when he drank the juice 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

The Breaking Bad references were so unbelievably shameless that I can only respect it.

6:00 @Modern Goldsmith that isn't giving the reaction room to breathe. That is playing with your health and potentially your life. You are adding water to a concentrated base here which results in explosive heat generation. It is one of the basic rules of laboratory chemistry to never add water to concentrated acids and bases. You only ever do it the other way around. As A matter of fact: there have been explosions with several casualties in Frankfurt (Germany) because water was mixed to fast with concentrated sulfuric acid! You gave me a literal heartstopper here!

The gold and silver videos were some of the best videos I've seen on RU-vid in a long time. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

I've recently finished my chemistry graduation and I must say I truly love your videos, using chemistry as a tool to do your work is amazing and I wish I could do the same! As for the Glucose part, one possibility I thought is, since it is a solid, it doesn't get as much contact with your reactant, hence the slow reaction. When you use a Glucose solution though, the solvent makes the Glucose more available in the medium, speeding up the process, an interesting test would be to use a glucoese solution right away, maybe that way, the reaction would be less vigorous!

So essentially when you add NaOH into AgCl solution, you make HCl. But when you add water the reaction is highly exothermic and it boils like at 5:30.

Cheers to giving credit to Sreetips and NileRed! 👍

Considering the last video had the "Forbidden Orange Juice" which was gold mixed with acid over ice (which I can only imagine being very corrosive and toxic), the fact that you toasted with Actual Orange Juice in a smiliar beaker over ice is both fitting.... and giving me horror flashes of you mixing the two up and having to be rushed to the hospital........ but great video!

This series was surprisingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for the great content.

0:40 Breaking bad from wish

I literally just got finished watching your gold blob video and find you just posted the silver one. what timing

This videos are a great example for the difference between learning by force (school) and learning by interest. I hated chemistry in school. And no teacher had the time, or took the time to explain their enthusiasm for this class. So, the only thing I learned in chemistry class was… it’s boring, you only need it if you want to become a chemistry teacher… and it maybe killing you. Now I watch these videos, thinking: „Man THAT IS COOL!!!“ Thank you for showing a cool side of chemistry! ❤

I love how the videos are nic and short and straight to the point with little excess talking or video!

Your video was excellent! I used to refine silver out of a sodium argentothiosulfate solution from my photography studio. Reminds me of my childhood! Keep up the good work and love that you are using the proper PPE for your videos.

These were so fun to watch! Cheers for sharing your experience and learning how fun and rewarding chemistry really is! Gorgeous pieces.

Loved all aspects of the video!The chemistry, the humor, the Walter White impression everything was on point.

I'm grateful your so thankful, I'll stick around. You and sreetips my boys!

Its cool to see the goldsmith side of this. I watched nile red's video on his gold melting, so it was cool to see the other side of things too

Props on this series! It’s clear you’ve put a lot of time, attention and research into the chemical processes for both the gold and silver. I love your making videos, but this has been a super fun detour 😊

Great video! Sodium hydroxide and sugar is my go to method with AgCl. That violent reaction you had was probably due to excess lye. A rule of lab safety is add concentrated acid(or lye in your case) to water but not the other way around. That said, great result! Don't forget to test your stockpot 😁

thank you for making these videos love your videos

Cheers to giving credit to Sreetips and NileRed! . This series was surprisingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for the great content..

0:45 science yes

Hey, if you want to dillute an acid, add it into water and not the other way around. For most acids the dillution process is exothermic (=releasing energy in the form of heat) as far as I know. So the little water getting added immediately boils & reacts like in your video (or worse).

What a fun journey you took us on. This was great. Thanks!

Turning wasabi lettuce into silver, alchemy! Really interesting to watch alongside the gold blob. Bravo

I love your video's and am a big fan of NileRed and Sreetips channels as well. Thanks!

Such a freaking epic series! I love rings but would LOVE to see any other kind of jewelry. Earrings, necklace, bracelet…tiara? I cant wait to see what you end uo making!

Love your videos, would definitely be keen on one of the study classes. I’ll need to check your website out.

Well explained 👏 👌 I love this!

I really appreciate that you made two parts!

0:51 bro was looking like walter white lol😂😂 Btw cool video

These videos are definetly my favorite!

Enjoy your narration and film shooting style / edits. Good stuff.

That's so cool to see the refinement process, makes me want to learn chemistry

this was another awesome video! I'm not a chemist either, but I sure loved watching the process! Thanks for the chemistry lesson! It's probably not enough to make a money clip, but that would be a good use for it!

Loved both video's hope to see much more chemistry from you...😮😮😮

That was interesting! I like your Style, Great job.

i've loved all your videos so far, but these last two were so unique and interesting, i am amazed by your talent!!! you are such an interesting and creative person :) also the editing skills are on point, it all feels so natural. Big fan from France

I was thinking with the silver and gold you could potentially make really REALLY cool rings or pendants based off of the shape of their atoms? Maybe use notching or something to create the electron pattern? I just think you could really come up with something unusual and very modern but also as a commemoration for your first foray into the chemistry of producing gold and silver from ore/melted blobs of varying metals!

So glad the algorithm suggested this, amazing work!! Ur a wizard essentially.

This video is really good keep up the work❤

You could use it for some kind of family jewelry. Maybe a small pendent for everyone?! I kind of like the idea of using it for a sentimental piece (or pieces) :)

Fascinating video! If you ever go through the process again, you should totally try to make precious metal clay. It's exactly this powdery form they use to make it, mixed with an organic binder.

Fascinating video. Im going to watch your gold blob video right now. Do you have any videos on platinum?

Another awesome video!

5:37 The liquid was saturated with silver oxide, so the sugar had "no room" to react.

@5:45, your solution was too concentrated to allow the reaction to proceed - adding water thinned it out enough the reaction continued briefly.

hands down one of my new fav youtubers

impressive from start to finish !!

4:38 "cordless drill" also the cord in the background

As a Chemist, drinking from the beaker just sends shivers down my spine...

I knew I KNEW Nile Red spirit was infused in both videos. So fun! Thank you for sharing!

Nice reference! Sreetips is goated!

good job with the blobs

5:10 a spoon full of sugar helps the silver go down, the silver go down.

The music used when heating the powder is so relaxing!

this is the only time that Ive stopped the video just to like and subscribe lmao this content is awesome!

@1:23 mhhh, the forbidden wasabi

I clicked on you gold video thinking it was a NileRed video, however I wasn't disappointed and the journey was great. Great to listen too aswell (although the hard breaks in music are a bit uncomfortable), soft voice, good audio. I'm going to check out some of your smithing now. One big problem: As someone who takes safety in the lab very serious (I burned my nostrils once by smelling acid full on) I can't agree with someone drinking out of a beaker or any chemistry glassware, doesn't sit right with me, really bothers me, even as a very well meant transparent joke. But keep on with the rest, and good luck.

Ngl the gold video was the first video of yours I’ve seen and this is the second, and that breaking bad bit made me like and subscribe

Very interesting to see this and your last one where you created the disk of gold. I'd love to see the process where either of these were made into jewelry.

Could you do a video in which you collect all the dust and dirt from your shop and look how much precious metal or even stones are in it?

Amazing video!

It’s impressive that you can say the names of the results and oder material’s I’ven not doing chimica class. I did it and it’s still difficult to name dose names in 2 seconds. RESPECT. Love your contents😊continue like this

25 grams of silver? The standard weight of a silver coin is about 28 grams, so maybe you could make a custom silver coin? Maybe with some gold inlay? Just a thought.

2:16 The forbidden avocado smoothie (Edit: is it a forbidden mocha milkshake?)

Nilered actually made me watch this video (both this and the first part), chemistry is really interesting!

Pure and solid information similar as your refining results!

This is now a chemistry channel

You completely earned the sub from me for that Walter White bit! I COMPLETELY did NOT expect that and it was hilarious XD

For washing steps you can use a separatory funnel to reduce the number of washing steps, make it easier to separate layers and prevent the loss of any silver

9:19 I'm surprised that the torch doesn't blow the powdered silver out of the crucible ? 🤔

1:14 forbidden avocado

Older video, but i find it fascinating. Awesome shoutout to nile red. Watch a lot of his vids

what a genius channel idea, this content is awesome

0:01 why was the breaking bad theme just sneaking in.

bros in walter white’s RV 💀

I like this dude, good sense of humor.

I love these videos..I dont have the set up to even try any of this but its interesting..

Bro it tuned to german 2:34

Turning a blob into pure gold video: "I'm not a chemist and this is the first time i'm experimenting with gold." Turning a blob into pure silver video: *"Jesse, Jesse we must cook."*

This guy is low key my hero 👏💪

I’ve recently have been experimenting with this urban mining thing . However I’m not as a good chemist as you in fact I failed chem in high school . Your technique and procedures are great and more accurate. But as this is only a hobby for me I like the burning method which is good enough for me. Watching these videos motivates people to do better so thanks . Your narration is simple to understand sometimes funny . Good job . Keep going

THIS is how you teach chemistry to a young impressionable audience. Numbers and letters cannot compare to hands-on demonstrations and an actual payoff at the end!

Do the copper!

Thanks for doing this too.

It's really cool to see the beginning to the end of this process.

10:40 When you are drinking some orange juice but you remembered that you've left the meth in the oven

Wow! I wish you could turn my blob of a marriage into something valuable!!

a fresh prospective is just what we needed many thanks

I was always taught and I alwyas taught that you should NEVER drink from any glassware (beakers included) that come from a lab or are for lab use. Safety first, then a "drinking" glass of OJ! Excellent job, I found you calm voice over came my "hurry up" want to see the gold and silver. My patience was rewarded at the end of your videos. FInally, it "goes to show" that you should never throw rocks away unless you are certain that there isn't treasure in each one!

This guy is the absolute definition of unwasteful. Didn't even forget about the junk leftover from the gold refining process that a regular person, maybe even a chemist, wouldn't even give an eyebrow raise to and getting ample returns in silver for it? Now that's what I call dedication that paid off! Also, the editing quality seems to have not even slightly decreased from the amazing previous video, I'd even call it better! Amazing job with this :>

1:09 No kidding, for a secondI thought this was cabbage... What is wrong with me ?

Nice video turning waste into silver 👍 👍 All that bubbling and hear when you added the water was it's exothermic reaction with the excess sodium hydroxide.

You got +1 subscribers. You deserve way more from the hard work

Did you get in trouble drinking orange juice from a beaker in a yellow suit? 😆

4:50 pls why are you yousing the drill like that . poor light bulb
