Being a genius is one thing. Being a genius that can effectively communicate like this is another.
@@kidmosey He is indeed wearing it upside down. Didn't even notice till I read your comment lol
@@kidmosey That's what geniuses do...they wear masks upside down and forget to put on their socks. It's in the job description.
@@LaoZi2023 I saw a documentary about Einstein and the Manhattan Project. He lived with one of the other scientists and they noted that he could not do simple things like tie a neck tie. There was also a story about him shaving without soap, so they got him a brush and soap, and apparently Albert was blown away by how effective it was. However, when the soap ran out, he went back to his old method without thinking about it. His head was on a higher plane that had no room for simple things.
@@LaoZi2023 If you have a large nose and try to put it on "the correct side up" the adjustor piece constantly slides down, especially when wearing glasses. If you are also working with fine particles, you literally can't constantly touch your mask with your contaminated gloves ever 30-50 seconds or you might as well not wear one, since you are rubbing it all over your face at that point
I'm really sorry for you. May be you'll find a solution so that the adjustor piece doesn't slide down your nose.
I never thought people could have problems like that m so sorry bro
It's insane how he makes these huge takes without a single mistake and without any unnecessary words at all.
He's a pro clearly and has been lecturing this stuff for decades I'm guessing... real-life Walter White
He said "twigger"
But yes. Incredibly well spoken
@@jrmbayne then twigger is the correct word
Richard Feynman's take on "knowing the name of something" vs. "knowing something". This dude knows shit.
He is really good, but he does take cuts, really well disguised tho.
As a chemist and materials scientist, I am floored by what I just saw. Fantastic work, and damn what a result! I honestly haven't payed much attention to graphene because it just hasn't been commercially viable. However, your experiment got my wheels turning, and yeah, a semi continuous process doesn't seem very far out of reach. Thanks for the inspiration!
Search- GRAPHINE OXIDE.
so graphene killing you in your vaccines gets you excited! Typical scientist.
The source off know haw is the Lord God Almighty, and every scientist is a growing brain in the earth know how
Like tesla have said his inventions was for the good of mankind in the future. As we can see it our days!
Who would sai that one single second light bulb ever made after 900 combination to discover tungstênio. And now it is impossible to know how many light are going at any time. So tesla was God inspired é. So thomas was also a do your self engienering;
Now this proccess is very enlightening demonstrating how much trouble is to produz graphene really is a benediction, because somev10 or more years when graphene was presented om the science world i was wondering how it is done?
of cause i tot mabe some iron scaillet in electric stow is all what it takes.
But now finally i learned so far today right now it take a little more tham an pênsil core to make this material which may make air crafts 10 time bigger and aableto carrier more cargo and passageiros with out have to ever land because many years ago popular mechanics showeed a flying circulating air craft capable of going around and be overtaken by a flying taxi who would transfer cargo wille receiving its arriving passengers and loading those who will start voyage in a moving never stopping flight because the loading deck will atatch it self-to transfer cargo and detach when done landing only the flying táxi rocket size sincronizando to just in time be ready to get in or out mutch like a bus going down the city people get redy to get in and or out no confusioon
So now we know haw those carriage from heaven is MABE made of some other product that can go trough the infinity carrying us like Elijah went. Because God has milhões of such vehicles up an down just as it is estates on the Bible!
Thak you sir. You are a realli scientist professor and a benefetor by these demos-- stration we already know jt is a great construction material we will be able to building next dor appartament in any flor and land or take of from the window at any time as fir building can be as far each other and steel it be a city!
JESUS RETURNE AND WE WILL LIVE THOUSAND YEARS UNDER HIS KINGDOWN TO LEARN ALL ABOUT. HOW TO CREAT MATERIALS t will so now we must repente and ask Jesus how it is done!
My limited mental ability doesnt know what he did, but it knows the value of (graphene) & graphite is common as coal = big-money!
This guy is just everything that TH-cam content should be. There's no clickbait and he's really fun to watch. I didn't know anything about Graphene until I watched this video and I didn't care about Graphene either but this dude makes such high quality content that now I think Graphene is really cool. My science teachers never actually got us doing these type of things, most likely because my school was full of inbreds that could not be trusted not to shove people's heads in desk clamps. The only thing we ever got to do was write about what probably happens... Science isn't based on studies, science is based on experiments. This guy does something good, that is hopefully teaches kids not to be dumb fucks in science that ruin education.
@foreverkurome Thanks for the laugh. You are so correct about the inbreds.
It's also easier to teach something without getting distracted by ppl making noices.
I dunno man, the risk of death was pretty clickbaity. Usually I'd feel betrayed, but everything else about the video was quality.
@forever Jesus, man, sounds like science was savage with you!
@@droidnick before I transferred schools my school was full of inbreds. We never got anything done. Funnily enough never ended up hating the sciences though.
Few years back I mentioned your channel inspired me to re-enter college to further scientific studies as an adult. It was scary at first due to the amount of self-doubt from being away from the education system for decades. I'm a sophomore now and getting mostly A's. I love every minute of being in class in learning and challenging myself. I just want you to know the profound impact you play in a stranger's life. Thank you! 🙏
as an adult u have the advantage of maturity to help compared to most of your peers.
@@jhoughjr1 The maturity helps, but for me going back just a few years later, I then had a clear purpose and goal. That gave me the focus and motivation to do whatever was needed, even in the classes I didn't much enjoy.
It took a minute to get back into the student mentality, but after that, the class work was easier than I had remembered. Also having just a few years of independent life experience game me so much more to draw from in the humanities courses.
Two of the best decisions I have made in life were dropping out of school, and several years later, going back.
Did amphetamines have anything to do with it?
@@bobweiram6321 I thinks that's ironically mostly the kids who have little interest in what they're learning simply trying to get the class over. When you have a deep interest in something no drugs are needed to focus on it.
@@thirtythreeeyes8624 Coding is my cardio. Crafting, my caffeine.
The translation of academic literature to practical implementations, with a perspective of real world applications is fantastic. Not to mention how entertaining and educational this is. Truly a gem of a channel!
THIS is the way the early pioneers pushed the envelope. A paper published about a discovery would result in a multitude of duplicate attempts to test the authors premise. Very cool.
that's what engineers are there for.
@@peppybocan Check out Charles Goodyear, self taught chemist. Or James Joule, hobby scientist, or Michael Faraday, a man with little formal education. "When we consider the magnitude and extent of his discoveries and their influence on the progress of science and of industry, there is no honour too great to pay to the memory of Faraday, one of the greatest scientific discoverers of all time." In their day, they were the explorers of the new frontier. They did these kinds of things. Trying to duplicate the lab results and prove or disprove theories. I admire them for their curiosity that drove them to discover. They paved the way. You don't have to have a degree or grant money from the government to make a difference.
@@stxrynn Michael Faraday.. In my opinion maybe the greatest scientists of them all.
@@stxrynn engineers are there to build stuff on a large scale. Chemical plants where things are produced in tonnes not in grams. My father is a chemical engineer. Building plans is where engineering shines.
I’m so happy that you’re finding success on TH-cam. You’re doing such a big service to humanity by making these informative and entertaining videos. Props to your video team for making these videos look and sound good too!
From the last few words, this video alone had 105 million views and the subscription is closer to 950k than not. I really hope you get your million. You were given a gift being able to teach and have fun doing it and you're using it wisely I really wish you all the success in the world, seeing you smile and laugh at science in action when the epoxy seemingly even outdid even your own expectations made me smile too! I subscribed a while ago but don't follow youtube notifications much but I saw this in my suggested and had to watch as with any of your videos when I see them come up 😊
I really love the “walking into another room” way of transitioning from one experiment to the other! Please keep filming and editing like this!!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Editing has leveled up
Yeah, that was great!
@@TechIngredients don't overdo it though. Like anything. Keep the editing crisp and snappy. Nobody has time for transitions or fillers in this day and age.
(Also, your glove color changed so I didn't buy it. Do it intentionally with subtle Easter eggs for profit!)
Finally, a use for my electron microscope! 😂
Man, I wish you were my neighbor. I would volunteer all my time just to learn from you!! You rock!
"Hello Neighbor" while peeking over a fence, or "Won't you be my neighbor" neighbor?
You are really a great teacher of science and lab experimentation. You certainly can hold people's attention with your demonstrations and explanations!
Thanks!
After watching the whole video I found myself genuinely excited after seeing the change in the bending modulus of the epoxy from carbon black to graphene. Your channel really is a golden find!
I do not usually comment on TH-cam videos, but have to express my congratulations for the great job you are doing in this channel. My PhD was in Chemistry/Materials science and I can't believe how well you are presenting these subjects. Kudos !
Thank you very much!
I laid a tile floor for the president of a composite materials engineering group that developed the materials for forms making for Lockheed Martin. He gave me some very interresting protype high ductility iron composite material samples as a gift and a flashdrive containing some documentation on how to use the materials for post forming machining, as well as old pictures of the material being put to work at LM! 😂 I bet we would love to play with this stuff, if he hasn't already. It's amazing the people you run into!
I am sure you two would have loved to chat. Lol
@@aaronschocke2147 that sounds friggin awesome! He just blew your mind lol
@@doncarleone973 Oh for sure. I wish I had more time to sit and listen to his stories. My Dad's best friend's dad was an aerospace engineer who owned a company developing and producing high precision bearings for NASA and aviation. From just the two times I have been blessed with the chance to sit down with him, I already felt like I have known him a lifetime. He is so full of life and sharp as a tack. We sat on the upstairs catwalk doing a puzzle and talking about all kinds of stuff in science until 2:00 in the morning!!! Just to sit and listen...
Your demonstrations are extraordinary, thrilling. You put a huge amount of thinking, designing, and engineering into them - and also into your easy-to-follow explanations of complex processes. You deserve 5m subscribers and I hope you get them. Bravo!
Wow, wish most teachers were like him, school/learning would take on another level! It's amazing how much time is wasted in our modern day schools with useless information when you could be learning like this! Top content 👍💯
That’s by design! The wealthy and “powerful” (notice I use the quotes to condescend this because I believe no earth dwelling human is truly powerful) do not wish to educate, but indoctrinate the youth. A civilization of brilliance and geniuses would see through most of the charades and gimmicks used to exploit profit and make the false economy go round and round. God forbid people become educated and fully understand that currency has no tangible value and the banking system is entirely based off empty promises. Since so many poor people buy the narrative, they’re willing to trade the most precious commodity known to human existence, time. All for what? A piece of paper that claims they have worth. Quite despicable really. Point being, they need uneducated useful idiots to make them enough money to fund the brilliant scientists exclusively working for them and to their benefit. Without that upper hand, how would they continue to maintain their perceived class rank? It’s all a fugazzi bud. Now you see!
I totally agree, I drank what I thought was milk in a glass jar when I was a two year old kid and it turned out to be turpentine so I died 5 times my brain completely rewired itself and I from there started having issues with learning like everyone else turns out I have my own way of learning and it's actually less complexed and reaches a point in only a fraction of the time. The point we all learn in different ways sometimes in cross-referenced patterns that shorten the thought processes. This brilliant men is non-stressful in his thoughts which is actually very easy to understand and enjoyable to hear, I can lesson to him all day.😮
Amazing video! In the papers I read from Rice they mentioned an annealing step for the graphene, but apparently that's not needed to achieve great results as you have. Really great job on this.
New epoxy catamaran build with graphene epoxy, please.
Dr. James Tour should win a Nobel Peace Prize. He is involved in so many new technologies, which is revolutionizing the world. He is also a man who gives credit to his students when it comes to the discoveries they made. He's a great humble man.
Hi NightHawkinlight, I love your videos too brother. Especially the starlight one.
You should collaborate together
@@ezekielnow425 Well ... Dr Tour works a second job as a fraud. That probably puts off a lot of people. Certainly puts ME off.
The range of scientific disciplines you demonstrate in such a professional manner never ceases to impress me. I know people who specialise in some of these fields that can't explain the concepts as well as you do.
Thank you for all the information and inspiration.
Thanks!
The problem might actually be the specialization. The different disciplines are arbitrary distinctions within a universal scientific method. Generalists have an advantage once they have enough experience.
Yeah.. free education on such a high level is astonishing. Maybe add a crypto adres for tipping maybe.
@@TechIngredients Indeed, specialists can get too lost in detail and end up in a "can't see the forest for the trees" situation.
How you manage to not to be the "master of none" trope is what is very impressive. It's hard not to spread one's self too thin.

This man is the perfect science educator, he deserves the top place on youtube. I am telling every student I meet to watch his videos and subscribe. I cant describe how grateful I am for his extremely informative videos. Well done and thank you.
He is pretty good at explaining things, but isn't his mask upside down?
I can only imagine the amount of behind the scenes time and effort by you and your son that go into making and editing these incredible videos! Outstanding work to both of you! This one in particular was hit out of the park at so many levels.
Thanks!
The medical technology coming with graphene will be next level.
@@magnitudematrix2653 Not just medical. Energy storage, composites, building/construction, energy production, thermal management, etc. Many different areas and fields could benefit from high quality, true graphene because of the unique and extreme multiple attributes.

Absolutely captivating, was glued from start to finish , very glad to have found this channel, will introduce to my son as well , thank you very much
I really like how you explore all the corners of every experiment compared to scratch the surface. Can’t wait for the “we ain’t done yet…”
As a regular blue collar guy who is fascinated by the world around me I’d just like to say I find your videos to be fantastic. From your clear explanation and wit it’s honestly a pleasure to watch. Thank you, and the camera son, so much.
Hey brother, glad to see another B.C man watching,I'm sure you're thinking same thing I am so I'll bring my welder if you can find us some Glass tube ---look out J.B weld--- were coming lol
An absolutely banger of a video, great in every way and very informative! Thanks for this, definitely subscribed.
Thanks!
I really appreciate your videos. Very excellent in breaking the information down so it’s easy to digest while still covering as much technical information as possible in videos which aren’t too long to watch while I make myself dinner or take a lunch break.
This is... by far... the best channel on TH-cam. I really mean that. You guys are AMAZING. Thank you for all you're doing.
Wow, thank you!
By far....

Universe balanced? nope. oh well. Lesson learned? meh.
From the very first video you published to this one, you have never failed to impress me with your knowledge of whatever subject you present, the thoroughness of your processes and procedures and your absolutely unparalleled pedagogic skills.

I wholeheartedly agree :)
Same here. I was going to bed an hour ago. And I couldn't stop watching this until the end.
Almost one hour pure solid entertaining knowledge, never been so thankful to find a channel like this.
Welcome!

It is very interesting but alot of responsibility still fun to work with graphite. I enjoyed working with graphite and the honey combs
this was amazing. knowledge freely given. both liked and subscribed, also transcribed. thanks very much.
I often watch science videos, but this video is the best one I've watched so far. There's nothing too much, no frills, and I learned a lot. to share as much as possible. Thanks a lot.
That just blew my mind. Amazing video. Excellent explanation. I come from an electrical engineering background and seeing that set up was pretty cool. Havnt been in the lab in over 25yrs. Look forward to future videos.
This is the best channel on TH-cam by far. Better than any university classes I took.
It is so entertaining to learn this way, seeing science in practice and being used to do useful stuff. I learn so much with you.
I really wish this channel grow much more and thrive. Just keep on doing!
Thank you so much. Best wishes
100%. Makes nanotech look easy. Amazing channel.
The old bias.The video one is looking(politics,tech,entertainement) is ALLWAYs the best on youtube. Otherwise you wouldn´t look it 🤣.
As an inorganic/nuclear chemist from the 1960-80s, these demonstrations are excellent. While there were films back in the day, they were rare. Your channel is my recommendation to current students. Congratulations!
As a carbon based lifeform from 1990 to present time, this demonstration was brilliant and better than most science teachers could come up with.
I’m 60+ retired and really enjoy these videos although I will never need this knowledge, I value having it .
This is the most amazing video i watch in my entire life !!! I was astonished with the properties of the material and with the explanations. I subscribed right now (and by the way you have almost 1 million subscribers ! God Bless ! Thank you

Found this channel by accident, so glad I did. Great Channel.
A year ago I bought the book "Graphene" by Les Johnson & Joseph Meany and found it to be a facinating read but your video really brought home the amazing properties of this material. Your teaching style captured my attention for the entire hour and you explained things in layman's terms that were easy for me to understand. Great job!
Thanks!
I'm not a science person -- I enjoy learning and think it's nifty, but I don't know a whole lot -- and I wanted to thank you for how accessible this was, without it feeling like you were "dumbing it down" for me to understand. You're a fantastic educator!
thats the great part about *good* teachers, you *can* become a science person by listening to enough of them.
really sad how good teachers are in such short supply
good on you for watching it!
If you enjoy this; you probably ARE a "science person", you just never realized it.
I don`t know you Sarah.. but I know you are a hell of a lot smarter than you think you are.... `dunning kruger`
For sure! Almost every episode is like that for me to, but the episode that hooked me for life has to be "Shaking Buildings Over a Mile Away!" th-cam.com/video/l9CI6KSV560/w-d-xo.html 🙂 Every time I watch it I can still not imagine what neighbors were thinking when this happened. WOW!!
Why do I always delay watching these videos? I get scared by the length and a supposedly mundane subjects, but after some weeks of delay I always end up glued to the screen for however long it takes. Amazing educational skills.

@@MrNeverseemeNH hi
I listen at double speed. Once you get used to it, you will never go back.
Some of these comments are just amazing :). Thank you 'Tech Ingredients'; excellent video lab/lecture on an excellent subject.
I was glued to the whole video. Well done.
I love how this was not just a "and now we have graphene, that's it" but that you demonstrated measurable and reproducible results with the epoxy rods. That actually blew my mind on how cool this stuff is.
I was surprised you can just grind it up and add it to stuff. I thought there would be some process in which it would need to be delicately separated an... nope! Shake 'n pour baby!
@@zef3k It's not like you're strong enough to break the bonds lmfao. That's the beauty of the material. It's such a hard-ass that once it's done, you can't fuck up. If it broke, it's not graphene. No loss.
@@Enderplays12 Well I mean more that it could be used as an additive in such 'small' amounts. I previously thought it had to be manually manipulated into a usable object for some reason.. x.x
I built a 16' fiberglass/carbon fiber canoe years ago (using epoxy resin and graphite), weighed about 22lbs iirc. And the whole time watching this, all i could think about was how much lighter and or stronger it WOULD be with graphene.
Also, imagine for aircraft, where weight matters much more.
how would you have made it lighter? would have have done so by changing the design? perhaps by decreasing the size and/or quantity of certain support structures? I would think that if you used the same design.. it would essentially be the same weight.. but would be much stronger at that weight?
@@manp1039 Basically, if it's stronger, it doesn't have to be as thick
@@RoughSmoothie Yep, or possibly even cheaper. Might be able to buy more simple weaves and get the same results. But at a certain point, 2lbs isn't much more practical than 22lbs since the disadvantage of the canoe is no longer weight, but the exertion spent carrying it through winds and bulky awkward navigations.
@@manp1039 If you are using stronger material, you can use less of it.
I never imagined I'd have the patience to sit through an hour long graphene production video but your explanations were so fascinating it flew right by. Thank you. I almost want to try to set up my own production facility now! Lol.
It only lasts 30 minutes if you goose it up to 2x playback speed .....What a well done video ....Be very careful with the juice ElectroBoom wannabee's......... This is no joke ........

Pure brain-candy, thanks. Subscribed. 👍
😘
Damn, gotta say I really enjoy the straight forward talk. You don't over explain anything, and it's easy to follow which isn't an easy combination. I had to pause near the end because your giving real life examples of application for even probably independent contractors is stellar. So many people talk about highly complicated subjects without this down to earth approach, and it's something that should definitely be in school more. "Why is this important? Where can I use it?" Fantastic commentary.
You're on the forefront of material science and making it fun and interesting. Thanks!
LOVE your workshop!
I’ve got to hand it to you. Your presentation style and ability to talk naturally to camera is better than many TV presenters.
This channel is such a (hidden) treasure. I'm learning a lot every time I watch one of your video's. I like to tinker and hobby around, though not nearly to the extent as you are doing and probably never have the resources for it. So seeing an engineer like yourself at work brings much joy!
One of the most exciting videos I watched on TH-cam ever, Science related.
Even dramatic at some point, all boxed ticked, thank you.
That is so amazing. Thanks for showing us this!
The implications of the method you mentioned at the very end are staggering. Graphene-reinforced composites on industrial scales may not be very far off in the grand scheme of things. What a time to me alive for material scientists
Exactly. I would enjoy a job working with someone to test Graphene in not just epoxies but also many plastics, resins & adhesives. I know of so many things that this would be applicable to. Especially in Aerospace, Nautical, DOD, & Manufacturering.
Armor was the first thing coming to my mind.

I kind of want to use this method to make the worlds strongest glue gun stick
@@novicenovathe.covid.jabb.
Yes....its in there Wilbur...
This was probably the most important, informative, and innovative videos you'll ever see on TH-cam. If you guys get the continuous production method going, you'll be rivaling any engineers alive today.
Can't agree more.
My wife can hear this video playing in the background while shes getting ready for work. She busted out in laughter when you asked "Now, if youre still watching." 😅
I have just watched (in awe) the Graphene video and even though I do not understand very much of it, I was fascinated!
Your presentation style is fantastic, thank you so much for making it easy for a non scientific person to follow.
I have liked and subscribe. Fingers crossed for you with the one million subscribers this year.
Please don't stop doing your video's. You have an amazing ability to teach in such a way that is informative, understandable, and very interesting. Love them!!
the value of this content is amazing. the fact that you share this for free on youtube makes it even greater!
Excellent lesson on graphene! This is the best video by far from any other teaching, in quality, in knowledge transfer, and clarity. Thank you!
Absolutely fascinating! I'd always assumed that graphene was effective only in sheets, imagining that it was as you see bonded carbon fibre. What an amazing material if used in even minute quantities within other types of material.
A wonderful video - thanks and an easy subscription!
I just assumed the whole thing reduced to black like paper that a breeze could tote off
I am shocked that it worked that well, especially considering the low concentrations! I think it would have been interesting to see it compared to maybe some kind of powdered steel or ceramic/glass in the bending tests as a comparison between non-carbon based materials. Also, further testing for pure compression, tension, and shear would be interesting to see, although difficult to make repeatable in a home shop. Regardless, great work!!!
That 0.6% produced 750% increase in strength. All doable "at home."
Yeah. The property wasn't really tapering off much. It's still almost linear and I'm not comfortable extrapolating. If 0.3 is about 400% and 0.6 is 750% increase. that makes a linear graph similar to y = 1166.66666667x + 50. the "+ 50" is probably due to the crude but effective measuring technique. It should be "+ 0." If we had a third data point, we could make a logarithmic function and then know how much graphene to add to get a specific increase in toughness. I'm just blown away by the results. I bet results taper off rapidly though. 12% graphene probably doesn't yield near 15,000% increase in toughness. I'm thinking it would yield about %3,000 increase, but it's really hard to say from these two numbers. This is so exciting!
YES!
Add it to some sort of LASER deposition process maybe...that could be really interesting
Would also be interesting to compare with ordered reinforcement, though how much carbon or boron fibre would 0.3% be
@@philipgwyn8091 Technically doable at home, but have fun with large capacitor banks. I'm not so brave, and I'm not even scared of dying.
I'll stick with focusing on making carbonized cellulose nanocrystals. Much easier, safer, cheaper, and can make in true bulk (many grams vs miligrams per batch).
This is incredible. I am astonished you were so successful with this, with everything I’ve read into graphene I didn’t think it was in our reach any time soon. I can’t wait to see more about this.
I stumbled on this video and decided to watch simply because I had heard of graphene, heard about its great potential and wanted to learn more. About halfway through I realized how much I missed watching "Mr Wizard" from when I was a youngster. Then I realized these experiments were way way more intereting than that old TV show. Very impressive. Happy to be a new subscriber and I will be looking at more videos from Tech Ingredients. Thank you!
Thanks and welcome!
That is one of the most sophisticated experiments I've seen on your channel, my congratulations on the success. 🎉
40:50 "If I test this and it performs like graphene, I don't care if I made marzipan" best quote ever! :D. Love the video, great format and delivery, very educational and entertaining at the same time.
I agree! However some of us are a little disappointed the experiment didn't include a rod with .3% marzipan for comparison
That would make JBweld way more useful than it already is by a long shot, thanks for your time and effort to make this information available to us
Just incredible information and demonstration! Thanks so very much!
I have heard Dr. Tour speak often about the development and capabilities of graphene. When I saw that you were going to create some, I HAD TO WATCH. You did a terrific job of explaining the process to a non-scientist. The testing at the end was the real kicker. The proof is in the bending! I subscribed. You're 1 subscriber closer to 1 million.
Ditto, now 2 subs closer.

A good tip when working with high voltages is to stand on an insulating mat and work with one hand. You will still get a shock but the current would be extremely low and it would not go through your heart as it can with two hands.
Listening to you has been very relaxing. Like potato chip bags being wrestled, or crunching if papers, very soothing. ❤❤❤
I was thinking about using this method on industrial (ish) scales. What about using a reaction vessel with a higher surface area to volume ratio, so you can increase the batch size without changing the cooling rate. A Cylinder gives you very little surface area for heat to radiate away relative to its volume.
What about a rectangular prism? You could make a thin but wide and tall reaction vessel out of relatively thick quartz sheets (I'm honestly not sure how you'd bond the corners, so this may not be viable). Allowing you to do many times the reaction mass that you're using here each time.
In addition, to allow for a more industrial scale, I could imagine using the reaction vessel as its own vacuum chamber. Because it's not a high vacuum (only 1/100th of an atmosphere) you don't need any exotic seals and could likely get away with simple endcaps that contain the copper electrodes, a sealing cap and an air outlet. You pre-fill the reaction vessel with an appropriate mass of carbon black, then fit the electrode endcaps in place and rapidly pull a vacuum on the relatively small volume. You could compress the carbon to the appropriate electrical resistance either by having a set compression ratio (that might require some unrealistic tolerances), or by just using gaskets on the endcaps and allowing the electrodes to move in an out, before locking them in place. You could theoretically automate this process, dumping out the reaction results into a container for later refinement. The main issue is that you could only have one reaction happen at a time, because otherwise the black body radiation from one reaction would just be absorbed into the next reaction, slowly the rate at which they cool. You could even go a step further and perform the reaction mostly inside a box with a high absorption coating (e.g. carbon black) to decrease the amount of thermal radiation that's reflected back into the reaction vessel (you may also need to actively cool the container so it doesn't heat up over time and reduce its effectiveness).
Anyway, I got this far in, then found realise the plasma deposition paper has a much more easily scalable method hahaha. Although I expect this could be done with a much cheaper outlay, even if the plasma deposition method would soon outcompete it.
