@@alekkowabunga3294 So you're saying that he withheld videos because of the dispute? Or that he is more active now that money is coming in? Edit - speculating of course. I don't want to put words in your mouth.
I mean it's sterile and all but... it's sterile... and it's pretty much only carbon. It sounds weird to say but if I had to eat shit then I would charcoal it first, there's a quote for you.
Cow manure does have a pretty low energy density, we build anaerobic digesters designed to run on farmyard waste, we've found that, by mass, cow manure produces about 1/4 the energy of crops like maize and about 1/3 the energy of chicken manure, though that varies greatly depending on their bedding
The nitrogen content of the chicken manure is also not to be underestimated. Talking about cow manure, the stuff you use is pretty fresh, right? There's a lot of water in it. But still... Seems like cows are pretty efficient at extracting the energy out of their food.
@@etuanno Yes fresh as possible, the longer it's left, the more it off-gasses and the less energy is left. The ratios don't get much better as it dries out because of this. Cows are an amazing way of creating food from land that can only grow grass, which is a surprisingly large proportion of farmland. Chicken muck has a lot of interesting properties when it digests, the nitrogen content is very high which limits how much you can add to most designs of digester. Struvite forms during the first stage of digestion of chicken manure, which is the most phenomenal fertiliser, but is difficult to deal with, because forms stalactite like structures that can build up in pipes.
yea that's what i was thinking about after watching this, the manure could be used to make some kind of natural gas and let the bacteria do the work. rather than cooking it all off for coal. still pretty cool small project, even though it looks messy
Cody, I just wanted to let you know that you and your videos greatly assisted me on my recovery from depression a few years ago. Infinite thanks for being my little candle in the dark:)
Watching YT videos does not cure depression. If anything isolating yourself on a private screen and sitting on your ass is the cause of a lot of peoples', "depression". Heavy air quotes because feeling bad about living a boring and pathetic life is not depression. No, that's the human brain's normal reaction to living like a piece of garbage, telling you to change something about your life. Chances are there's nothing broken about your brain. If you cured your depression, you did that, not Cody's Lab or the side-effect ridden SSRI's based on fundamentally flawed science that have tested within the margin of error compared to placebos for treating depression since they were invented. If you cured your depression, good for you. Give yourself some more credit and stop trying to garner sympathy from strangers on the internet. That's loser shit, you're better than that now, go for a run or something.
Just imagine being a cow with this dude who feeds you, build structures, obviously extremely capable, and you watch him picking up your patties like a poop gremlin. Nature must be so confused with us.
The only thing that's important about the material is the carbon content of the source material, and whether or not the impurities can be further reduced to just make the fuel into ideally pure carbon. Problem with charcoal (and why it's not used over coal/coke) is that the source materials used for charcoal are often not very dense, making the ensuing charcoal burn cooler.
Dude, Cody's out here living a dream, ensuring his survival if the world falls apart all while learning and teaching and just having a grand Ole time. I love the content he puts out no matter the length or quality it's all quality all the way.
You'll probably have to make yourself a "briquette" press, mix the charred poo powder with just enough wax to hold its shape then press it into briquettes, blocks, or bricks of charcoal.
I vaguely remember someone who made charcoal from coppiced willow and he had pipes from the top of the charcoal container down to the bottom that would allow the gases to mostly sustain the combustion once it got going. I think it came in from the side and brought oxygen with it so it would burn completely.
Actually, thinking about it, you could just add air holes up the side of the outer container to allow secondary combustion. You'd need the chimney to get the air pressure right, and maybe some kind of plugs to allow the heat to build up before letting the air in.
@@romanshorif2330It's a 2 y/o video. I remember watching it some time ago. I dunno what happened, but imagine my confusion when I had some faint memory of whay's gonn happen while watching a 'new' video
Hey Cody, I appreciate all these vids you make, you're the reason I decided to make my [crappy] channel. Keep up the great work! Hope you're doing well buddy.
I love the way you make your video's. They just ooze this early 2000's style of "here's something cool i did today and i had a camera on hand so maybe you'll enjoy i don't know". And man am I glad they exist in the way that they do. Thanks for sharing.
Every time you come out with a new video you filmed outside I get jealous. I lived out in the Washington/Oregon area and it was so peaceful and gorgeous out there. I miss the hell out of it. :) Thanks for the cool video!
When I saw the email about this being on patreon. I said to my buddy on discord "I bet he eats it." I havent watched yet but the top comment lead me to believe I was right. I just watched this video, again forgetting I saw it before and had the exact same thought "I bet he eats it."
Used to watch you years ago and forgot the channel it finally stumbled across my reccomended again, i remember when you were digging the cave so glad i can watch u again 🎉🎉🎉
never thought i would be happy to see i could get anything from cow dung.... but, then i see its Cody and im here for every second of it! Cody, you rock! you are the savage of science! ♥️🙏♥️
hey Cody, I recently learned about making biomorphic SiC or TiC ceramics from organic templates after charing them. I immideatly thought of your charcoal series. I don't know how easy it would be for you to get the necessary chemicals, but if it is possible I think it would make a good idea for a video.
Cody I've been watching your videos for years now. #1 wow burning poop that's out there friend lol👍 and #2 I miss the old bee keeping video once a week or so. Plz start a bee keeping series if you have the time of course
It's just celluose ash. There's nothing particularly hazardous about it. You don't need to wear a respirator to protect you throughout every last minute of life despite what the person on the street still wearing an N95 in 2024 will tell you.
Cody, I have recently charcoaled eggshells, they were dried in my shed for weeks, the product has a slight 'alkaline smell' almost like a light ammonia but earthy smelling. its not a bad smell but it reminds me of old bone but definitely sharper. i was curious: through the pyrolysis (temperature on my heat gun pointing above the coals was like around 700-800 Celsius) have i created small amounts of calcium oxide? the shells are charcoal black still in shell form, no presence of ash, however there is a "sheen" on the particles and the intact shell pieces (similar to a puddle in a parking space from oil and grease). from your experience and knowledge what do you think my product is? and is it the source of the smell? or could that be from left over membrane on the shells?
Yes, the smell is from ammonia that form through the pyrolysis of traces of proteins. Possibly some urea also - it reacts with calcium oxide to make ammonia
Looks like he didn't get a chance to answer you form 2 years ago so let's do that now - eggshells are almost entirely calcium carbonate, heating them will drive off CO2 and leave mostly CaO - "quicklime".
@@Muonium1 haha thanks for the reply, i still got those eggshells sitting with the rest of my charcoal. it wasnt too troubling, i just assumed that it was calcium oxide and carbon residue. it does have an odd smell, kinda stinks, almost like something you would smell lifting a wet stone in an undisturbed area.
Idk if you are ever going to see this cody, but I just wanted to let you know how much your videos have helped! I am a biochemistry major now and I really have admired your videos for years! 🥺 thank you so much for sharing your work :)
Great video! I've always loved your channel man and I've always appreciated every upload. Sad that TH-cam completely hatched you that I barely get any notif even with them on but I always make sure to check up on your channel and binge watch you. Keep up the good work man!
I was at 1:47 when I realized he's gonna probably bite one of those. Cody, while I know your recent increased video cadence is unsustainable, but it has been quite enjoyable. Thank you!
Cody are you still testing dirt ball seeds at your parents ranch? Would be a great place to see some more plants growing there, even your desert property too.
ill bet that'd be great for filters , not sure about how itd do as fuel , still great work ,as someone whos enjoyed your work for many years its great to have you back !
every video its some small piece of ingenuity that amazes me. Burning the smoke in this one, magnetically separating the falling sand in the last one.... you mind is just a thing of beauty lol
@cody i belive that type of charcoal kiln is supposed be ignited from the top and allowed to burn downwards. That way the flamable gas from the charcoal retort exits the bottom flows up through the fuel. This has a heat regenerative effect through the whole system and it makes the most use of the woodgas.
Hi when I use to make retort charcoal, I found it work really well when I insulated the outside with a sleeve made from an older barrel just to keep it hotter inside, there by using far less material to cook the inside barrel.
A useful trick is to run a pipe from the top of the charcoal production chamber down to the air inlet of the fire. Any gasses that are produced that are flammable will burn up in the fire. This makes the production a bit more efficient and also reduces the pollution and smell from the process.
thats actually a pretty great video series idea. just grab a bunch of ordinairy stuff, or things that are interesting and see if it can be turned into charcoal.
I’ve been making biochar from horse manure and that is my experience exactly. I have to make sure it’s dry and load the retort twice. I like how easily the char breaks up in the niter box when inoculated with a brew of urine and chicken poo. In the garden even the fence posts are growing. Take care of yourself.
Seeing all that smoke coming off of it really explains the air problems in regions where cow dung is the main cooking/heating fuel. I knew it burned dirty, but not that bad.
Has the channel been remonitized (or how the fuck that should be written) yet? I so so so deeply love these raw-ish videos. Cody, if you happen to read this, thank you for being an inspiration for accepting failure and trying again, and again and stupid experiments that definitely don't pay off in money per se but give so much joy and knowledge of actual processes.
