      Kerosene is probably cheaper than the electricity he'd use to distill an equivalent amount of oil, not to mention the time and effort. Firewood doesn't appear to be abundant for long term post-SHTF processing. Maybe if he developed a way to distill it with direct solar heating, but the return on time investment is still an issue.

      You mean as is done with many other materials?
      Such as pressing with heat, and the reason for using steam is that it works with light volatiles and is limited more in the level of heat applied, and is better for getting essential oils when there is so much more dry materials than there is oil. This is the same process that is used to obtain Rose oil and many others. However it does not work with oils with a much higher boiling point than water.

    Well done!
    Many years ago, a 4-H Teen Leader raised a crop of black sunflower seeds (common name: Russian sunflower), they are oily as the dickens. He pressed the oil out with a modified cider press. It used plates with smaller and more holes. This brings me to the question, is it more efficient to press and then cook or just cook? Next question is would a solvent work better like acetone in the beaker and a layer of water in that (I forget it name) on top of the beaker. The 4-H Teen Leader ran his tractors and combines on the sunflower oil in 1981 and still to this day. He filtered the pressed oil through old denim jeans and then a diesel fuel filter. Ain't not bad science, for it's day.

      @@mikebrooka9395 that is very interesting to know. Farming in the US must be very different to the UK with all that space. It's unimaginable to think of any oil crop being mulched in the UK. Also sunflowers are a strange choice as a nitrogen "green manure" . The farming I am familiar with uses plants like clover & alfalfa which fix nitrogen to soil while alive, and again when mulched as they are still soft & green. They are also perfect grazing for animals. Sunflowers are extremely fibrous by the time they flower, and by the time they seed they are like a cross between a stick and a rope. It's hard to imagine them even breaking down in a season. May I ask, do you know where the income source is for grain crops like wheat? Is the money straight from commercial buyers or is it government subsidy?

    • @mikebrooka9395
      @mikebrooka9395 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@dfpguitar kind of depends. Some farms sell to commercial buyers under a contract. Most of the smaller farms sell to a local co-op that stores the grain until market value goes up and then they put it on railcars for its 'final' destination. Some years, the government will see the market value too low and pay farmers to not grow wheat at all. This all stays true for all commodity markets. It gets deeper, but that is the tip of the iceberg. Oh, the sunflowers fo degrade a bit faster than you would think when plowed under. As for nitrogen, we use anhydrous ammonia. It kills everything and sets in a lot of nitrogen (that is usually the case for wheat only farms). Old fashioned farmers will rotate legumes one year and wheat or cotton the next.

      dfpguitar Generally no subsidies for grain producers, although it can happen. Usually to trigger that a natural disaster needs to have happened or something like a significant foreign subsidy has unexpectedly come into play. (Russia or China). This is generally for only one year as the farmers are expected to be smart enough to change crops if they aren't going to make any money farming what they were farming, or like my parents who couldn't afford to keep farming because of low wheat and barley prices, had to sell their farm and find new work.

    Hmm. You might want to try just a straight distillation. The sticky components are probably less volatile than the stuff that you got. I've found that if you wrap something like that (2 liter?) flask loosely in aluminum foil and let it hang over the sides of the hot plate, you get pretty even heating.
    It might also be interesting to see what you get if you put the plant in your ball mill. Definitely a lot more surface area then.

    It's not gumweed that they used, it was Rapeseed, or canola oil. I actually worked on this project with ARA. We used catalytichydrothermolosis, basically putting a water/canola oil mix into a supercritical state (very high heat, very high pressure). The product came out crude, and we shipped it for refining, so I don't know what that process entailed, but it was quite interesting, and very flammable. From what I understand the yield made it more expensive than standard Jet-A, but it was renewable, so they wanted us looking into it anyway.

    If you're looking for interesting solvent extraction to try, I've wondered about a Soxhlet style device using butane, so instead of heating it at the bottom you refrigerate the top to condense it, and it boils itself out of the distillate at ambient temperature. You've certainly got enough experience with pressure vessels and cryogens to give it a go.

      Kain Yusanagi Used to? The extra virgin olive oil gets it's name because it's the one obtained with the first cold press of the olives, then comes the virgin oil which gets heat pressed from the remains of the first press and then the rest of olive oils which are unlabeled as extra virgin or virgin are extracted from what's left with solvents. This is the process from 2000 years ago and still aplies today.

    • @rustygear9370
      @rustygear9370 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It could be possible, eventhough I tried this receipe with other plants with more oil content :
      - First dry the plants under sunlight for few days (not too long or they will lose most of the oil, just the right amount of time to let them crush under stress)
      - Crush them into fine powder (the point of drying)
      - Put them back in distilled water, in the same proportions you make with pancake dough.
      - Let them inflate covered overnight, the mix will be more firm
      - Place them in press between alternate layers of fine mesh stainless steel sieves
      Water should draw out with oil, heating the layers around 70°C will make oil more fluid and ease the process.

    You should try and use alcohol instead of water to extract the oils next run ;)

    Try a large scale extraction of this

    Just a question for the intelligent people who watch this channel.
    Would it be viable to use techniques similar to what is seen in the production of marijuana concentrates to extract oil from plants such as gum weed? For example using butane or isopropyl alcohol to strip some of the plant's oils and then purging it off to create a stronger oil form of that plant? I am unsure of whether these techniques would be used only on marijuana due to the active chemicals within it (thc-a) and only focusing on extracting those specific chemicals along with turpeines and cannibinol etc. Or would these processes also work for the creation of essential oils from other natural sources. Another technique would be to press the plant in a hydraulic press between to heated plates as in the creation of rosin, another extract of cannabis. I'm just curious as to if these processes would work for creating essential oils from a variety of plants, or if people use these processes to obtain concentrated forms of only the naturally occurring psychoactive chemicals in marijuana specifically.
    Cool video anyways Cody loved this one, just as much as all of your other videos! I'd love to see you try and take some Damascus steel and process it to seperate the two metals.

      Probably the best technique would be to pulverize the plant material, then do a supercritical CO2 extraction - which is indeed the process used for high purity cannabis extracts. It's also used to extract delicate essential oils for fragrances and a whole host of other such uses. CO2 is cheap, non-flammable, and non-toxic - and thus at least theoretically ideal for use in industrial quantities, which is something that would be essential if one wanted to extract amounts of plant oil useful for fuel, especially if the oil is not strongly localized in a seed/bean [as with soy] that could be processed in other ways.
      sCO2 doesn't require really extreme conditions - warmer than 31.1C and at 72.9 atmospheres and up. That's a reason it's becoming ever more popular for this sort of thing. Cheap, relatively safe (definitely no fire danger from the solvent) and no residues left in the product.

      @@FurrBeard I honestly had not even considered using super critical CO2. My initial thought was of course something like butane, but I can definitely see the safety benefits as well as the industrial usage. How would one purge off the CO2 that would remain in the finished product? As someone doing it at home I'm sure just letting it naturally vaporize would probably be the cheapest easiest way. But depending on its vaporizing rate it could take a while. I'm not sure exactly how long it would take but if it would be a problem I'm sure a simple double broiler would purify it fairly quickly. Or possibly a vacuum chamber. But that leaves me with another question. If one were to use a vacuum chamber would you have to determine the vaporizing pressure of the oil to know how far you can take the vacuum before worrying about losing any of the final product? I am very unfamiliar with vacuum chambers but they are fascinating to me and I would love to try some experimenting if I could ever afford one.

      @Aimless Studios However, considering that it's in the desert, it's a relatively low-infrastructure way to get a diesel/kerosene analogue.
      Soybeans (oil) & wood (wood alcohol) to biodiesel is probably more efficient (and can produce charcoal as a secondary output), but is less practical in deserts & desert-like conditions.

    • @TheAttacker732
      @TheAttacker732 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Aimless Studios Wood alcohol, methanol, is a byproduct of making charcoal. It isn't a direct byproduct, rather it comes from the carbon monoxide the wood lets out as it's heated in the charcoal producing process. I believe copper is the most common backcountry catalyst for methanol production.
      A few gallons of methanol is enough to catalyze most of a drum of vegetable oil into fuel suitable for diesel engines. Modern diesels can be surprisingly picky if you're forced to keep it in an emissions-test-passing configuration.
      However, I'm looking at this in the context of fueling vehicles. As well as the context of my area (wooded with lots of farmland), where soybeans have to be rotated through to replenish the fields. If we need to grow soybeans anyways, might as well make fuel from them. The remaining biomass feeds animals or goes back into the ground, although it could be turned into fuel as well.

    Pack your distillation column with glass wool next time. The increased surface area provides surface area for the vapor to condense on, effectively increasing the length of the column and greatly improving your yield. It also traps more of the volatile compounds in the sap, making it smell more like flowers.

    Although the military probably made this comment first, it seems like this plant has a lot of properties that would be beneficial on a mars colony.
    -makes concentrated, liquid fuel
    -CO2 scrubbing
    -feeds pollinators
    -produces bulk cellulose for ruminants, construction, cellulose to ethanol bio-conversion, composting, and soil production
    -compact
    -low water requirement

    In BHO (butane hash oil), you would use butane to strip off the trichomes of the plant material to get your extract then purge it off with heat and/or a vacuum pump. I wonder if the butane method would yield more oil from the plant you used or the distillation method you used. Cause I think solventless extractions run for more $$$
