Some of the greatest discoveries of humanity have been finding practical uses for former waste products. Gasoline for example was originally a worthless waste product from making kerosene, considered to unstable to have any practical use.

It wasn't enough to grow long lead crystals like he intended, but it surely was enough to make lead sponge.

The fact that you had the knowledge to intuitively cause an interesting reaction without knowing about it beforehand says a lot about your talent as a chemist. I'm seriously impressed.
This is either a joke or someone who doesn't fully understand how a good portion of scientific discoveries are made, a lot of discoveries are made by complete accident, say a failed experiment and then just trying to have some fun with it or similar.
@@the_undead You have truly mistaken what he and/or she is saying... It's either that; or you're purposefully misconstruing the words of this kind person.
@@the_undead Allow me to explain for someone who is purposefully *OR* non-purposefully ignorant.
EntropyOnline is speaking of Nile's reaction. He and/or she is speaking of how he (NileRed) could generate such "an interesting reaction"¹ in regards to Nile's limited or no knowledge on the component that was created. (Which then proves his prowess as a chemist)
If you're still confused on the "interesting reaction part"... it implies (from context) its somewhat fascinating his analysis can be close to the mark.
@@Galaxivist and allow me to explain to you how the mind of somebody with autism works. Somebody with autism will always take what they read at face value with The only exception being if it is eluding to a concept that they already understand so an inside joke for example. So unless it is an inside joke that they already get or something to that effect they will take what they read at face value especially if they have seen people who are that f****** idiotic in real life before, because I have seen people who would genuinely say something like that not as a joke or an exaggeration or whatever but because they genuinely believe that for concepts that are much MUCH easier to understand.
Having high functioning autism is simultaneously a blessing and a curse because you are easily going to be the most literal person in the room or in the discussion thread or wherever you currently are, and if what this particular group of humans is talking about is something that deeply interests you you are probably going to be the most knowledgeable person on that thing unless there's somebody who does that professionally and has been doing it for years now, and you are going to go into so much detail that unless it is a topic that interests them they are almost certainly going to be bored within 5 or 10 minutes. You also get smart asses on the internet who try and open your eyes to the obvious misunderstandings that you have a lot of the time who think they're being so helpful or are doing their best to piss you off when it's like yes I know I've tried to correct these flaws but I can't.
And I know I can't because I've tried and tried and tried and then I tried some more and then I gave up because spending months or even years doing basically the exact same thing with absolutely zero progress when you can't think of any better way to do what you're trying to do kind of just leads to you giving up and deciding you know what I'm going to go do something more productive than waste my time trying to fix a flaw that I don't even know how to fix when it's only a minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things

Even if they're not novel, it's fun making discoveries in the lab. You get so excited. It is a bummer that someone else found them first but I never get enough of finding new things even if they're only new to me.

I left some electroplating solution in a closet for too long (I think it may have been contaminated with zinc) and a very similar sponge can form with copper. The solution was originally a very high concentration copper acetate and water solution, and I think that some zinc dissolved into it over time. I found it recently and noticed a weird wiggly solid sitting at the bottom, and that’s when I remembered this video.

Would be cool to see if you could form a mold or something to protect against radiation, I believe lead is used commonly. But this being mixed with water and lead, might block more radiation (but would need to keep hydrated) with a thinner layer.

Make the container much deeper ... several meters ... so the reaction is completed before bottom is reached.
Before the bottom, you could place a net of some sort, catching the sponge, so it can be lifted out without being squashed at all.
It would cost so much money

13:42 - I think it could be the concentration window in combination with fine crystals from the powder that stay in suspension and get dragged in between the granules (crystallization nuclei) + the amount of zinc granules added? Also "scratching" the surface of the granules could make some different effect.
Do any of them float like pumice?
Do they absorb liquids or filter like activated charcoal?
Can they be molded and carved then dried and used for plastic casting?
Does the surface area make the lead react faster in reactions?
Can it be used in place of a more expensive catalyst in any reactions?
Using it as an electrode, does the increased number of nucleation sites allow it to split water more quickly or produce a higher yield of O2 and H2?
HOLY SHIT THIS MAN GOT THE QUESTIONS!
please someone upvote it!
Ill look into the floating question and the filtering.
It would definitely react faster than normal lead, but i dont think it can really replace any catalysts (I could be wrong though).
@NileRed in science, you'll never know what will happen next after a discovery ;)
I've had great success making silver sponge using the same process, it has some very interesting properties that I must show.
Maybe the height of the container allowed the reaction to take place more thoroughly before depositing on the bottom. This could explain the difference in the small scale.
the lead sponge before being taken out looks edible and i want to eat it
You should send those to Cody's Lab asking him to guess what kind of a rock is it without checking your channel
It would be a great collab
Yeah, that's nice. Send a great guy a chunk of high surface area solid neurotoxin and tell him it's a random rock. Next we can send him some solvated mercury salts and tell him to try and figure out what sweetener is in it.
I wouldn't expect Cody to lick it as the first test but I get your point
You can get poisoned by lead without licking it... same way mercury can poison you.
No, you can't actually
Oh really? Okay then am idiot goodbye.
Extract the stuff that makes you cry from onions.
That's just onion juice it vaporizes very quickly so to extract it would require a vacuum with no suction so unless he's going to space I don't see that happening anytime soon. But I would love to be proven wrong go ahead nilered
It's just juice man
Wow lead sponge is something that i learnt today . Nile red is the only channel that suprise me (keep up the good work).
I realize this is an older video, but still wondering what the thermal conductivity is. The stuff reminds me of aero-gel.

Spongelead Zincpants.
turning the lights off and using the flashlight looked really cool imo, its awesome to see white powder being dropped into clear liquid and turning black
I love when scientists get excited over new discoveries
this could be used as an alarm switch since it is conductive and brittle, so placed on faults or places where friction movement is expected you could make cutoff switches/triggers
i thought lead wasn't conductive but af you add a conductive powder or something it may work as a one -time switch
I'm not sure though

You were so close to the first PN junction commonly used in electronics:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_detector_(radio)#Whisker
I found it especially ironic you used the meter on the diode(PN juunction!) check function, which also reads out the bias voltage of the PN junction, without landing on the thought of it nearly being a diode. Galena (the crystal form of lead ore, often on a piece of quartz when found in nature) was typically used often with just an ordinary safety pin's point being used to make the PN junction.
Oneday you might also try messing around with germanium to make a germanium diode which can also be used to rectify AM out of the air. They're very effecient and take about half the voltage of a silicon diode. Come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen the voltage of a Lead diode ever posted anywhere on the net.

What about electroplating it with something like nickel or aluminum, and melting out the lead to form a sort of metal aerogel?
There's a similar method for the production of Raney-nickel, an extremely active hydration catalyst. You form a Nickel/aluminium alloy and etch out the aluminium witch conc. NaOH, but you don't an "aerogel" like product, in fact it's quite dense.

Doesn’t really make it illegal, Canada has alright gun laws
Canadian gun laws aren't bad, they're just poorly written by idiots who don't know better. Things like aks that already are "prohibited" b/c they are automatic also means that anything that looks like an AK, even if it is considered "non-restricted", are automatically illegal simply b/c they are considered a "variant". Basically, if it looks "scary", there's a good chance it's illegal here.

well theres a point to it , if you get a ak thats semi auto if you know enough you could probally just make it into a full auto and gangs could definitively have a network to import them from the us ready to be made full auto
I think this would be a really fun thing to use for sculpting. Since it's clay-like, you could carefully shape something that would later look like a common rock with minerals on it

4:33 There is another Nile talking like a whisper.
Making sponge of a catalyst would probably make it more efficient.
Not sure it's the best way to do it though.
7:02 i thought you put your whole arm in there and got concern
It might be interesting to try getting some zinc wool (like steel wool, but zinc), and seeing what the structure is, the longer strands of zinc might add a good deal of strength.
I imagine the first time someone thought of alchemy was when they somehow grew lead crystals, or something very similar.
Those shots of the powder going in could be used in a movie. Looked cool.

you mention that if we have ideas we should post them in the comments, so here's my idea.
how about repeat the process to get the lead sponge, except this time instead of drying it using an oven and heat, maybe try drying it using a vacuum chamber.
this should prevent the formation of oxides or any coating on the surface.

I personally believe he's correct that the reason he wasn't able to recreate it the second time was cause his concentration wasn't the same. He started out with a low concentration then ended with a lower concentration. His second run through, unless I missed something was a much higher concentration of acetate
