Do not repeat the experiments shown in this video!
So today I am going to tell you about such a metalloid as germanium, which helps to immediately transfer information over thousands of kilometers, creating the modern Internet. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Germanium was used as the diode detector in the crystal radio I built when I was a kid. A lump of germanium metal was placed on a metal plate (I used an old style razor blade). A very thin wire (called a "cat's whisker" was gently moved about the germanium until a sensitive point was found and music from AM radio started in my headphoes! No batteries! Lookup kits for this. Nowadays they use a 1N34 germanium diode in the kits so you don't have to fiddle finding a good spot!
I also built a crystal radio set when I was young -- and yes, it too had the "cat's whisker" that you had to probe around on the germanium chunk until you hit the "good" part. :-)
I, too, have put something together like these crystal radios you described. But it had the exception 1N34 diode. Still worked great. Excellent audio from the earpiece. No batteries! Nice! Actually picked up several local and regional stations (at night some stations from Cincinnati and Chicago would come in.
ran a 20 meter directional aerial off mine as a kid, i actually forgot this; thank you for reminding me =]
Nowadays, in some parts of the world kids can't do this anymore... As more and more AM stations are going offline.
I also built one, and used germanium chunk even though I have germanium diode
i love how you go through the trouble of making videos in 2 languages. i can only speak english and i'm glad i can still enjoy your content.
What's the other language? I can only see English
@@johnapple6646 He has a 2nd channel (or 1st since this is the 2nd lol) where he posts his original videos in Russian, then translates them, voices them over again in English and uploads it here
EDIT: His main channel is Thoisoi, as this is Thoisoi2
@@johnapple6646dude ....
Did you think that on top of being a chemist he also learned how to speak like an old kung fu movie dub?
@@josephstarfirebahane820 I must have been drunk when I posted this comment lol, sorry wth am I even saying
@@johnapple6646 I was just kidding bro, you're good,
I just love the living tweedle out of your channel -- definitely in my top three TH-cam favourites!!! :-)
*THANK YOU EVER SO VERY MUCH* for producing such awesome content (and you have an adorable kitty as well)!!! :-)
Love your channel, man. You still do really cool stuff. Unlike other popular chemistry channels that have reverted to boring, elementary stuff.
Thank for presenting us this beautiful element. Its optical properties are facinating.
For each video you make about an element, I can't stop thinking about the possibilities that all elements offers to us, combined or not, and all the properties we might not have discovered yet.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I been trying to grasp the idea of semiconductor for far too long and your little demonstration explained far more than my university textbook did!
I really like your channel I always learn new things from you. Thank you!
This is the Voice Cover that Fits like this topic in Chemistry .. 😊👍
Naw. I think Thosoi is some sort of Slav. Germans are not Slavic. They are obviously Germanic.
Yeah they're def not Germanic
Slavs are everything but Germanic.
I have built many germanium diode crystal radios of AM broadcast, shortwave and even a CB radio receiving crystal set. It can even light up a LED when signals are very close.
It's came first in my TH-cam feed. I'm waiting till all the elements will be covered by Thoisoi.🙏🤠🙏
Just love this channel 😘
thank bro your videos made me love chemistry🤘🤘
i love your vids so much
11 months later I still don't get bored of this so interesting 😊😊
Best channel about chemicals in youtube....
Thank you for all the knowledge
also used in germanium doped glass for thermal imaging lenses
As always nice work
A video dedicated to the element which made watching your video possible! And, of course, thank you to your cat for their assistance 😊
Your channel is amazing.
i have the feeling every time you make a new video new elements get added to the periodic table
Love your videos.
Thanks to Germanium I could watch this video!
Through Germanium only I am able to Subscribe to your Channel. Thanks to it.

Thank you for making the best chemistry vids online, my Russian friend :)
Not just guitar pedals use Germanium Transistors in the audio world. "High end" audio equipment will utilize them as a tone enhancer or "mojo", as well as a selling point.
Nice, this has given me a very shrewd idea.
2:30 that was asked in my school viva. That how Resistance varies in semiconductors when changes temperature. I answered correctly. :)
Please sent the details from where you purchased all these samples.
Germainum Diode , Was How I Built My 1st Radio Receiver
Bless Up Earthling
Thank you for yet another great video!
very informative - top work
So Germanium increases conductance with temperature... I wonder if this element is the primary ingredient used for temperature sensing thermistors?
but Germanium transistors are in history books and in old guitar amps.
*but* does he say anything to say otherwise? No.
At 3.05 he states that transistors have been used since the 1950s
@@newtechgs7471 yes, but gone.
Sir what do you tell about copper wire.. at that instant i am not able to understand because voice is not clear in video.. can you please write it here
Can you make a video of the metal lawrencium?
nice vid man
Very good video!!!
Could you possibly do a video that covers the material properties of the materials used in the recent space probe that is researching the sun like never before. They tested some parts in a molten salt processor with the focused solar beam. The materials they have used are so facinating. Makes me think if we could use them to learn more about the Earth's inner core then ever before, since they can withstand such intense properties and still function well. Idk?
What about its use in thermal imaging technology.
4:36 the pronunciation of "devices" is almost sound like "давай" (means "come on" or "on me" in Russian)
which makes me chuckled as a RUS/ENG speaker XD
Please make a video on fluorine (F)
Thank you sir just in time
I clicked so fast man
Ok but what did you think about the video,quick draw mcgraw.
Same
Wow NERD alert 🙇🤓👍
Clicked so fast his thumb went through his phone, glass splinters and blood dripping he still manages to comment. Hardcore fan.
Saaaame! 😂
great videos, great content, great kitty

معي معدن ماعرفت ماهو كيف تفرق بالاحماض نوعيه المعدن مثلا الروديوم ايش ينتج من لون والا الجرمانيوم ايش من لون والا البلاتين أو الرصاص وشكرا
Better conductivity with heat...never thought this existed.
X-ray telescopes in space depend, not on parabolic mirrors coated with silver or gold but on paraboloid cylinders made of germanium. The X-rays would go right through if they hit a regular mirror but, if they graze the germanium surface, they will skip like a flat stone on a smooth water surface. That way they can be guided to a focal point.
A geometry question. If a 360 is achieved at each node of honeycomb pattern then by folding ect. And so on ,then the outcome is 360. But what is the motion
Love you keep growing
So we are using gemanium to watch a video about gemanium. Thank you for the interesting video. Cheers from Canada :-)
l love your video very knowledgeable
3:50 - video clips are mirrored
Pls do a video on amphoteric oxides plz
Dude... you rock!
If it’s used in radiation detectors-turning the radiation into usable current to set off the detector then Germanium is like a radiation conductor/acculturator?
It even absorbs light rays.
In a way it looks like it was about to start forming like bismuth crystals but it stayed in the lattice right before making those stepped crystal layer's.
How was this posted on the 4th when its still the 3rd?
50`s, 60`s. Germanium diodes and transistors. They were replaced by silicon because of back leak of 1.2V while silicon leak have .6V. Russian satellites still operating with electronics based on Germanium.
Can you explain what is heavy water, and D2O? And is heavy water drinkable. Also can you explain what is hard water, and how citric acid neutralizes hard water so it wont leave you shower walls stained, and your dishes spot free after you take them out of the dishwasher? I have watched videos explaining heavy water but left more confused and I really didnt understand it at all so I thought maybe you can explain it where a dummy like me can finally understand it even if it's just a little bit. Thanks and have a wonderful and blessed day! Stay safe!
Hard water is just water that has a large amount of minerals
Is it true that they used that in bracelets to dissolve lympnodes in the body
Хорошо что англичане тоже могут теперь смотреть видео на этом канале 🙂
Can you do one on Black Nitrogen???
Very interesting.
you can make a anti gravity when you combinate Germanium Palladium and Moscovium
*Zis element* 😂 *i love zis channel*
Odd im subscribed but utube did not show Thoisoi2s new vids
Please make a video on diamond
Ei polski lokooo. Te vejo aqui do Brasil. Como vai?
Interesting facts 👌💯
Love from India
Yes, I wanted this so bad
How about germanium 23? Have you heard of it?
I wish you were my high school chemistry professor
I want a Germanium Ring
Where the hell do you get all these materials????
It's a Toslink sighting! Everybody take a drink!
waiting chainesium episode
Im sorry i could nit quite understand that minerals name .silver8 germainium Silicon6 ?
Faltou a legenda em português😖
Love from Antarctica!
Jk in U.S.
My question is: is it possible to solder germanium?
Excelente 🆗👍🏻
wow,good video.
do this element support the leader?
Bro I absolutely love your videos. Could you possibly make some more crystal growing videos with more exotic salts that have never been used before such as lime green praseodymium salts?
vintage germanium fuzz goes brrrrrrrrrrrr
Given 2 samples of Germanium .
Both prepared by different methods .
Which sample has more resistivity ?
Germanium is germanium so I think there's not gonna be a difference
@@sinpi314 depending on the synthesis method nature of the output is varies . Crystal size will differ and thereby properties will vary !
@@ashwinnair9881 you never mentioned what the different processes were so...
Sige - silicon germanium in all mobile phones
You rightfully should have included carbon in the list of metalloids. Graphite is a semiconductor after all, as is diamond when it is doped with any impurities (pure diamond is a very good insulator, the best actually, but the hope diamond for example is a semiconductor because of its impurities giving it its blue color).
Actually the history of germanium as a semiconductor is a sad one, it is so much better semiconductor for making transistors out of than silicon producing far superior devices, but the germanium transistor industry never got off the ground since silicon is just so abundant.
Hi, today carbon is considered as non-metal element. Who knows, maybe in the future carbon can be considered as the metalloid due to its allotropic properties.
Video suggestion: doped LiNbO3 crystals using a phone battery and Nb off ebay.
0:48 thats the wrong map og germany at the time
the toslink cable doesnt use germanium. its cheap plastic for consumers.
Sir can I reupload your video in my mother language

( not for financial perpose)
Very long shot but anyone knows where can I find a buyer for scandium niobium thallium and holmium? My relative inherited a container full of those elements in oxide form and we got the materials tested at 99.9+% purity. No clue how to sell them. Willing to offer great discount or commission.
Try ebay
Make a video on plutonium

My votes for Unobtanium as the most futuristic element.
That's not an element
@@vivimannequin Element of the future. Lighten up Vivi! It's ok to have a sense of humor.
