Winnowing is the word that describes using the wind to separate wheat from chaff. A magnetic field can do the same and be a bit more controlled, allowing particles to be graded into different bins according to size and magnetic composition after several passes. Better not to have the particles stick to the magnet and then disrupt the flow though!

Hey Cody! Let me propose another experiment on this topic. Since you are surviving on Mars, imagine that for some reason you have lost your oxygen and are forced to urgently get it by electrolysis of water. But what to do with excess hydrogen? Just burn it? You'll waste your oxygen again. But we know that there is a lot of iron oxide on Mars. And if you burn iron oxide in a hydrogen atmosphere, you get pure iron and water again. That water, which can again be decomposed into oxygen for breathing and hydrogen. This way you don't lose water, but you only need to add iron oxide over and over again in this cycle. And there is a lot of it on Mars.

@RingingResonance

2 ай бұрын

So you're basically recycling the hydrogen to separate the oxygen from the iron. Some energy could be recovered from the burning process and reused with a "waste" product of iron that could be used to build structures. All it needs is LOTS of energy and a source of water/hydrogen to replenish the reaction hydrogen as some gets lost or wasted in the process.

magnetic separation isn't codys idea as mining use's magnets and water to separate the magnetite sands

If you do this again, I strongly recommend adding some borax in the sheets to act as a flux. It makes the iron separate out MUCH better, often into a single pure lump

One idea to get a more compact lump would be to add some charcoal powder mixed in with the magnetite in the stuffing of the "burrito". The carbon will dissolve in the molten iron making pig iron which melts at a lower temperature and is more fluid, thus allowing the globules of molten metal to coalesce better.

It's depressing how few scientists also get into psychology. When you get millions of viewers someone has a meeting about you on the platform you're on to see if they can create an ecosystem of similar content. This involves mapping out Cody's behavioural patterns and targetting him with content that will make him crank out related content. Someone who values privacy as much as Cody will surely be disturbed by that. I imagined the following conversation taking place, "we got these independent science guys working on fuel injection and sodium metal, see if you can get the psy ops department to get Cody on this too, have him make a video" Then from Cody's perspective random things start to pop up that make him mad. Surely there is nobody out here on the Chickenbase he thinks, I got security cameras. Cody probably doesn't have a group of ex-military tech guys covering his property. KZread does though, and Cody is the cash cow for targetted ads. Sucks how small the planet is for an international organization.

It makes no difference to me, I'm watching it all... I hope you still enjoy making them, dude (at least as much as I enjoy watching them).

(speaking of iron...) My kids and I love your content, and watch it as part of our home school 'infotainment' time. We recently conducted a chemistry experiment where the results surprised us, and we can't find an explanation online: We put polished iron nails in 1)water, 2)hydrogen peroxide, and 3)a sealed jar of air(control), HYPOTHESIZING that the one in the H2O2 would oxidize most rapidly (since H2O2 is a known oxidizer). After a day, the nail in the WATER was visibly oxidizing and the water was stained a dark orange, but the one in the H2O2 looked identical to the control. Same result after a WEEK. At that point, we put the CORRODED nail from the water into the jar of H2O2, and it immediately started to react--with bubbles rising from the iron oxide and a precipitate forming in the bottom of the jar. WHY is it that the H2O2 doesn't appear to react with the naked iron, but DOES react with the iron oxide? We couldn't find ANYTHING online to explain this, and thought of YOU as someone who might have some insight into the results of this puzzling(for US!) experiment. Great content. You inspire citizen scientists everywhere :). -TIm

@isaacallgood3673

I'm not Cody but I have a hypothesis, the clean iron nail had very low surface area and might have had a different variation of oxide on its surface, did you make sure it was not galvanized? Also when you put the pre oxidized nail in the h2o2 it most likely had much more surface area due to the surface being etched by the oxidation. The oxidated iron on the saltwater nail was probably more permeable and allowed the h2o2 to react with the raw metal underneath, rather than the smooth uniformed nail originally in the h2o2. The uniform surface of the unoxidized nail might have still had a thin layer with little or no pores in the coating of oxide.

No talking through the whole video? Honestly the best part about Cody's videos is the little "he he" laugh at the end of almost all his sentences.

Cody, try this: After collecting hematite, try to put it into a blender to break down any leftover silicates and discard them for the subsequent magnetic separation to gain better purity. Then, put that new ground into the blender again and add foil pieces to achieve a more thorough mixed powder. Lastly, I suggest putting some sand on top of the thermite reaction at some specific point to seal the oxygen off to prevent the iron from being oxidized into pig iron. Best, thumbs up!
