Yes. I was just thinking that he sounded a bit like Dr evil and minime aka dr klaus schwab and dr mengele and fraudci a tad. Just a tad.

In addition to being excited to see what you do with it, I also have nostalgia from my own work with cesium. I only needed mg of it though. Seeing big tubes of it sloshing around is powerful bait.

Did you work with cesium professionally or as a hobby? And what was the cesium used for?

Elias and Advanced Tinkering collab, probably the most excited I've been for a collab for a while now since Elias is planning on doing some crazy stuff like making n-butyllithium. I also wonder if you could possibly improve yield by using lithium powder, obviously it probably wouldn't do much since the lithium is molten anyways but it possibly could as there would be more surface area and so the reaction would go faster (possibly even thermite-like similar to the magnesium-NaOH thermite which would not be good if it does, you'd have a thermite making cesium)

Wow that flame shower when removing the flask scared me. :D Very nice Video, and I am really happy you were abel to increase the yield so much! I can't wait for our experiments!

Never boring!

Wonder if there are some pretty cesium metal complexes 🤔

Hello I am new to the metal elements and I will be ordering some Cesium Metal Element in April. I've found a good supplier for Cesium Metal and the other metal elements. I enjoy watching the videos and thank you for being here

...excellent video! congrats on your success of such a greater yield! you are obviously getting much more experienced and comfortable. thats what is making these videos so great. Thank you for the perfect explinations, it really helps the lay person like myself.

...90%+ !!!! congrats!!!

Awesome video!!!

does cesium react with mineral oil? could it bit an option to have a small amount of mineral oil in the receiving flask to isolate the cesium from oxygen for easier take-out?

@AdvancedTinkering

It does not react with the mineral oil but with oxygen and water dissolved in the mineral oil. So it's not an option for high purity vials. But we will use it to protect it while removing small amounts for the experiments.

I know you said it's low purity, but I think you had a lot less oxide in this one, it's wetting the glass a lot less and it's keeping the shiny surface better. I wonder if it'd be worth plugging it in future inside a "glovebox", just a taped on bag with a hole in it to let it vent.

Yes, I meant lower purity compared to my redistilled vial from this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKmYrttxnM-ecto.html This cesium will be used in experiments anyways. In a future run I will redistill it and seal it directly under vacuum like I did in the video above. That way there is even less exposure to any impurities and oxygen.

I wouldn't recommend using a metal kf clamp like you have on glass. From my experience in industry we only ever used those clamps when both ends of the kf connection were metal. I recommend the clamps made of wood or some soffit material with multiple thumb screws. This lowered the chance of breaking the glass

Awesome, thanks! I'm fully satisfied :) Lithium is weird stuff, I never knew there was a metal that you could cut with a knife like that! It's also used as a (disputed) antidepressant. And it's an awesome Nirvana song :)

AFAIK lithium is used as a mood stabilizer, not an antidepressant (there is a subtle difference), and it is very effective, there is no (scientific) dispute.

Is making cesium a good way to invest or the equipment is more expensive than just buying cesium itself, BTW your channel is so underrated keep it up and eventually you will more popular than nilered

@AdvancedTinkering

Depends on how much you want to make and how pure it needs to be. If you just want a small vial of cesium it's way cheaper to just buy it.

Why do you not reduce the cesium chloride with calcium metal? I have produced several alkali metals ( incl rubidium) by calcium reduction. Calcium is cheap and not very volatile.

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the videos. It depends. If you only factor in the cost of the cesium chloride and lithium, it's a few dollar/Euro per gram. But if you consider the time it takes me and the price for other materials like the still and oven, it gets more expensive.

What is the best way to clean your glassware from Caesium usage?

@AdvancedTinkering

2 жыл бұрын

Letting it slowly react with long chained alcohols decreasing the chain length gradually to isopropyl alcohol and ethanol. (Be careful, it could catch fire). When everything has reacted it can be cleaned with water. You can directly use isopropyl alcohol but it will definitely catch fire and the reaction is a lot more vigorous.

Cesium was named in the 1980s after a famous pizzaria which alfonso capone used to work at called little caesars.

Is it okay to keep a bunch of ampules of cesium in contact with each other in a case? I don't know how fragile they are, but if you dropped the case, would they break?

@AdvancedTinkering

Жыл бұрын

The vials have very thick walls. I don't think dropping the case would brake them. Nevertheless I would not recommend storing them this way. It was a short term solution until they were used.
