    I don't know enough social media-ing to know if you'll ever see this (or to find any other way to contact you), but what size (OD x Height) does the outer can need to be in order to fit inside the furnace? I'm a TIG welder in a stainless steel pipe shop, I may be able to dig up some scraps and knock together a stainless version for you, I don't know how well a 300-series (all I regularly have access to at work) will handle that kind of heat though.

    Most of it is still in the chloride form. A better question is what happened to 65% of the lithium. To which the answer is: measurement error, the oil and oxide coating the metal has weight but doesn’t contribute to the reaction. Side reactions, from water in the salt and air in the chamber. And metal that did not react, you can see it burning when I opened the chamber.

    To improve the yield, consider grinding up and stirring the Li in, instead of just throwing it in as chunks. Even if it becomes a liquid eventually, it's not going to mix good enough, the molten mixture is too thick for a good mix.

    I don't know if Cody mentioned this, but the reverse reaction can be sped up even more by raising the temperature of the KCl + Na solution, because the forward reaction is exothermic. So you end up using Le Chatalier's Principle in two ways: removing a reactant, and increasing temperature.

Secondly I notice you have a slight tremor in your hand which is unusual in a young man such as yourself. Have you had your blood checked for metal levels lately? When I worked in gold assay we were monitored for lead. My blood/lead levels were detectable and safe. It really is invaluable to have such information. Thanx for the vids!!
