I work next door to a Machinist 39 years ago that built a go cart with small Hydrogen peroxide rocket he built in his machine shop. Using silver plated screens and stack many in the tube and by forcing the liquid hydrogen peroxide in to the rocket created the same reaction your seeing, except 0- to 60 in 4 sec , and only on off it was some thing to watch him build em and run it it was insane
1: The hydrogen peroxide he used had a much higher concentration than the 3% in this video. 2: The silver mesh has a much higher surface area for the hydrogen peroxide to come in contant with increasing the reaction. And 3: You're somewhat comparing rocket science with a fairly simple science experiment.
i landed here after reading somewhere that hydrogen peroxide would dissolve a silver coin, and i didn't believe it but wasn't willing to sacrifice any silver to find out. probably wouldn't risk my microwave either so, thx for posting!
You didn’t leave it in long enough to satisfy the proper oxygen needed; it takes hours for the right PH level to clean those metals phenomenally trust it’s how I clean my gold & diamonds; you will be amazed how clean your jewelry gets…
It's the high frequency waves in the microwave oven that speeds up the reaction, not heat. Vibratiinal frequencies disturbs the reaction to create new reaction in the same spot. An ultrasonic bath can do the same. I've done it with silver and it was breaking down peroxide at an akarming rate. Probably could ignite the oxygen it produced. Rocket engines and jet packs have used silver as a catalyst with pure hydrogen peroxide as the fuel. Once seperation of H2O2 is accomplished and a catalyst reaction of silver in pure hydrogen peroxide heats the solution up to 600 degrees celcius by steam, oxygen is then burned and used as thrust, Crazy eh. My next experiment, replace the platinum mesh in a salt chloronator for swimming pool with a silver mesh and replace salt water with hydrogen peroxide, And a few droos of liquid ozone. You want to create breathable oxygen on Mars you say? Need to create massive amounts of Nitrogen to add to the mix and were on our way.
Any metal can be put in a microwave oven as long it does not make an antenna,that why you can put a spoon in one, but not a fork or you get fireworks, lol Aluminum foil has rough edges that create a antenna
Myth busters proved that a lot of metals can be put safely in the microwave - steel wool is the one to be mindful of as well as a few others... I once put a frozen loaf of bread in the microwave to thaw it out and forgot to take the twist tie off... Eep!!
No, it's a catalyst. It causes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide, but is not a part of the reaction. The silver will get a little tarnished, but nothing happens to the gold.
What happens if you leave the silver in the hydrogen peroxide will it dissolve and become part of the liquid ? I am wonder can I use this to refine silver ?
Tim D Stevens The silver is a catalyst so technically it's not reacting, the hydrogen and oxygen are. So the silver will remain the same weight but it will tarnish from the oxidation.
uuum.... why should gold or silver react?.?.?.? its a CATALYST that means its not beeing dissolved or attacked! also its not crucial to wash it, because it will decompose anyways on the silver!
My use tarnish jewelry cleaner for my $coins collection and 50 cents coins and my $ Susan B. collection.. And it's beautiful. Your silver coin looks awful
I noticed that the gold coin was a $50 1oz coin. I don't understand how a 1oz 24 caret gold coin can only cost $50 when gold is being traded at almost $2,000.00 per ounce? Are you sure it is *solid* gold coin?
Two different things. One thing is the money value, this is $50 or whatever they put and other thing is the value of the coin, the real value at the market. This last value is now $1283 an ounce. Of course nobody will use this coin as a legal coin ($50). Some decades ago it happened that the metal price was higher than that of the coin and the coins began to disappear and were hoarded by people. BTW this is a collection coin or goild investing bullion.
The concentrated H2O2 will act much faster than the weak store brand. I'd be amazed that it dissolved gold. As far as the platinum, I don't think so. I owned a company that electroplated precious metals. We would buy titanium, niobium or colombium expanded mesh anodes plated with dinitroplatanic (DNS) acid or chloroplatinic acid and get electrodeposited surfaces of 250-500 microinches. We used these as insoluble anodes in gold, ruthenium, rhodium , palladium and even platinum electroplating tanks. So nothing touches platinum. Especially OTC dilute 3% H2O2 from the store. I know. I am in the middle of making a silver hydrogen peroxide solution to be sprayed (dry fogging) into operating rooms, etc. to disinfect for viruses, bacteria and fungi. Silver loves oxygen! And will hold onto it until it meets up with a nasty microbe. Amazing technology. Look up silver hydrogen peroxide. It might be one of the only ways to fight this virus.

I thought the microwave was going to explode, so stepped back from my screen 😂
Very cool. Thank you, I dont kmow how i had forgotten that this reaction took place. Subbed...
Thanks google
Will H202 take out copper spots from gold?
You put silver in the microwave? Did it spark?
Are there any other metals which act like the silver?
Platinum
I liked the part when you turned the faucet on.
Does this use silver in the reaction and is it safe to test this with a silver coin
What was the point of this video?
not for you to know , Me , I got it and understand it
For me to learn how to test my silver jewelry... 🤷🏽♀️
I'm glad you didn't damage your microwave with the silver....
Myth busters proved that a lot of metals can be put safely in the microwave - steel wool is the one to be mindful of as well as a few others...
I once put a frozen loaf of bread in the microwave to thaw it out and forgot to take the twist tie off... Eep!!
How come no sparks when you nuked that silver?
I Love physics !, thanks for sharing & i look forward to viewing your vids!.
Wtf?
I would buy a Japanese vehicle if I had a driver's license.
Always be good
what about 3% hydrogen peroxide with white gold? Bad idea since white gold has white alloys ?
@dino6861 I love physics too. But this is chemistry.
I know what they feel like, a while back I had $100 gold coin from Australia
You can microwave silver? Neato
Will it 'eat' the silver or gold?
If it does how do i get the gold and silver back?
No, it's a catalyst. It causes the reaction of hydrogen peroxide, but is not a part of the reaction. The silver will get a little tarnished, but nothing happens to the gold.
Thanks for the answer.
Would it eat other metal like tin or iron in rocks?
I'm not gonna tell ya what it does , get a chemistry degree to find out why
I'm sorry what was the point in that???
What happens if you leave the silver in the hydrogen peroxide will it dissolve and become part of the liquid ? I am wonder can I use this to refine silver ?
+Tim D Stevens No, I think the silver will just tarmish when exposed to the Hydrogen Peroxide.

Como, es que al meter la mano al peróxido, no le produce daño
uuum....
why should gold or silver react?.?.?.?
its a CATALYST that means its not beeing dissolved or attacked!
also its not crucial to wash it, because it will decompose anyways on the silver!
Im Also a big fan of hydroponic gardening! :)
Metal.... in a microwave. I was taught that was a major no-no!
@emaildoctor Metal can be put in combination microwave ovens , just make sure its On a combination setting!.
can the silver be recovered ??
these coins are not even needing cleaned.
My use tarnish jewelry cleaner for my $coins collection and 50 cents coins and my $ Susan B. collection.. And it's beautiful. Your silver coin looks awful
Try with Adamantium next time ^.^
Lol

$1,200 now
Wanna sell that coin?
@whiteelefants91 I was referring to the other vids on the channel but i also am interested in chemistry although no expert.
putting metal in microwave? not smart.
Canadian!
Turn the water off
wtf? this video needs to come with a serious warning
yaaaaaa we need more like it ...I know h2 o2 s secret now
Ancient Chinese Secret :) JZP CA GPAA
Not details
Try that with 35% hydrogen Peroxide and it will eat that gold coin or even platinum!
Robert Shrewsbury nope!

@dino6861 this is chemistry -_-
interzante
were can u get gold and silver
Try platinum next time.
Better yet palladium.
