    If you pay his Patreon you can watch the videos while they're Unlisted, that's usually when they're taken down, before most people tend to watch. That also means the people (or person) that reports his videos is a Patreon supporter. Unless it was automatically taken down but his "How to make Nitrogen" videos (old and new) get taken down by reporting.

    I heard of this thing called freedom of information.. Cody's been proponent of it quite some time. Because the value of the gold was so essential on the video, it was kinda weird to then censor one number because of "concern of public jumping the gun". What made those people in Patreon so trustworthy that they wouldn't start hoarding gold from ebay? Buck a month makes you smart? People with access beyond paywall do know what to do and the others don't? Yeah, that was not the Cody's proudest moment. Besides that, i am happy subscriber and will be long into the foreseeable future. // No one is immune to criticism

I learned a lot from watching both videos, it's amazing how these things can just be turned into liquid and then powder, and then bars again. I never liked chemistry and found it boring, but you sure have changed my mind there! Amazing stuff, I hope you get a billion subs!

    Or screw casting altogether and use ezaf to acquire stripped copper wire zero need to remelt and could have hooked up to a DC converted power supply with a zinc cathode/ anode to expedite the entire process and a stir bar/ airstone really would not have helped unless the mix was kept at a constant regulated / elevated temp which would have also expedited the process

    Could you do a Titanium refining video? Probably not worth your money or time to do it in practice. But I'll be happy with just an explanation of the process. Just want to know exactly how hard it is. Ti is as abundant as Aluminium, but tougher by weight. The reason it isn't everywhere is because it's so costly to refine.

    First you have to extract the titanium from ore with a stream of chlorine gas at high temperatures, then it has to be heated to like 2200 degrees with a reducing metal under an inert atmosphere in a steel reaction vessel and held at that Tempe for a few days until it's done reacting. It's not really something you can do at home.

This is exactly the reason why we know how to refine metals, because people sat and figured this stuff out, and it is awesome to watch modern people using these techniques outside of a laboratory environment.

    is there any reason why you don't put your metal bars on something like a ceramic plate instead of a wooden plank? seems to me that currently you'd have to clean them off, but if you used an old ceramic plate (or even a graphite mold or something similar) that wouldnt be the case.

    Hey,Cody I have a Question for a long time : If you double the speed of a bullet it will get 4 times as powerfull. But our gunpowwder is limited to something like 1500m/s. Would it be possible if you use nitroglyzerin or or other high explosives to rech speeds like 2500 m/s or even more ? Not with a regular barrel but maybe with a long cylinder out of steel with a very small calliber hole? I asked that question on reddit, but then it was gone:(

    Nitroglycerin burns just like gunpowder, In-fact its used in some smokeless powder compositions. now if you made a shaped charge and focus the energy of a bunch of detonating high explosives into a metal cone then you can darn near get orbital velocities. and actually If you get the cone to compress some hydrogen and focus that onto a thin piece of metal foil speeds up to the escape velocity of Jupiter (60 km/s) have been obtained.

    Yay 1 Hi Yay. The answer is, unfortunately not. Most millitary propellants make use of an explosove rather than gunpowder. Smokeless powders are normally based on nitrocellulose (we call them single-base). Medium calibre ammunition will normally use two explosives (hence double-base). Currently the state-of-the-art for large calibre weapons is triple-base (you guessed it - three energetic materials. The muzzle velocities, though are all on the order of a 1000 m/s - the fastest projectile I ever designed was a sub-calibre fragment simulator fired from a 30 mm weapon and it clocked at 2700 m/s. The reason the velocities achievable do not scale with the "potency" of the explosive is that it is not the explosive that is doing the job. What is really happening is that tge energetic material releases lots of gas when ignited. This gas, at high pressure, expands and it is the expansion that drives the projectile. The projectile velocity is limited by the acoustic velocity (how fast sound or a wave can propagate in a gas) in the gas driving the projectile. The acoustic velocity can be calculated from sqrt (gamma×R×T) where gamma is the ratio of the specific heats of the gas, R is the specific gas constant, and T is the flame temperature. It is gamma and R that is killing us, the flame temperature is normally aroind 2500-3000 K for energetic materials...gamma will always be small (close to 1) for very hot gasses and R is the universal gas constant, Ru = 8314 J/kg divided by the molecular mass of the gas. Most explosives when reacted ti completion produce CO2, H2O and various oxides of N - the molecular mass is then also normally in quite a tight band resulting in a R value of close to 300 J/kg. This sucks since the sqrt of 3000 K x 300 J/kg is 948 m/s. For my fast projectile we used a propellant that produces a high gamma and a low molecular mass. This is exactly why we use light gas guns to propel very fast projectiles - the molecular mass of the propellant (hydrogen or helium) is so low we can get very high acoustic velocities.

    Cody puts a lot of time into making these videos; coming up with an idea, preparing for it, doing it, filming it, editing it. It's not a trivial amount of work. Chucking a couple bucks in the hat to show your appreciation is something you should do anyway, if we all did Cody would be able to spend a lot more of his time making this content that we all enjoy so much. We have to support the things we love or they will die and it literally only takes a dollar or so when we all contribute. I've seen channels that I enjoyed but didn't think to support turn into KZread turds full of clickbait, over-reactions and worst of all a tool for soulless advertiser shilling and it wasn't their fault they just needed to make a living and because people like myself didn't think to support them they were forced to either stop making content or turn to garbage. Really shocked people are complaining about Cody holding back a bit of information that isn't even really necessary for what the video is about he always said this isn't for making money it's for enjoying and learning through the process.

The cyan appearance of the solution in this vid was extremely pleasing to my eyes. Berol (or was it Steadtler, I forget, it was in the 80's) made a pencil with the colour named as "Sea Green", the solution you had was pretty much the same.
