Some people use those big youtube earnings for Ferraris.
Cody just uses it to buy more gold and mercury to play with.
Ferrari from gold next?
Solid Mercury Ferrari next with even more clickbait in the thumbnail
It's cheaper than Lego
Does he really need more mercury? he has enough.... Cody, no more Mercury.
Ferrari from mercury, wax and liquid nitrogen next. Fueled by home- made uranium
"There's a nugget of gold in there!"
All I could hear was a prospector saying "THERE'S GOLD IN THAT THERE GOLD!"
Other prostpector say YEAH THAT THERE IS GOLDSEPTION
I’m thinly of the dude from Rudolph. “Silver and gold”
Goddam you made my day
There’s gold in them there gold
Bro I was thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
"Hey guys! I found a nugget of gold!"
"Oh cool. Where?"
"Inside this ball of gold!"
sounds like something fry from futurama would say
Here because of the face

I'm pretty sure Cody made the thumbnail and title like that as a parody, or maybe satire to show what TH-cam has become.
Also so he doesn't incite violence.
Yeah I can’t believe people are missing the obvious satire
...need not apply. that's what the sign said anyway.
Having actually made up this title (Over on Cody's facebook page if you don't believe me); yes it was a parody. And I originally had it say [NOT CLICKBAIT] at the end as well to make it more obvious. That being said, I think Cody def. could be better at drawing an audience with titles and thumbnails sometimes, even though some people seem to think you lose integrity - I don't. I think that TH-cam throws wrenches in the machinery constantly, and as a creator, it's your job to make do the best you can with what you're given. If that is "TH-cam faces" and clickbait titles, does it even matter in the end? Isn't the content what we should be caring about if we're actually Cody fans? I sure think so
I like to think he does the weird thumbnail nonsense just to make fun of the weird thumbnail nonsense. Also, if he's inconsistent about it, that would be better.
He'll change it later on

TheScotsmanWho if it was from 2018 why would it be colorized lol
because the camera was black and white
Wut? Oh u mean 12018.
Don't say that, he will get another strike on his channel! Kinder eggs are illegal in the US!

Nope platinum ball filled and embedded with diamonds is more expensive
@@ariesleo7396 not only did you reply on a 2 year old comment but you also had nothing important at all to add
$42,000 at 2k per ounce
@@ariesleo7396 I had one for my cat. Doesn't work at all. Had to bin it.
No diamonds tho
After careful consideration I have concluded this man has the most interesting channel on TH-cam.
3:36 The world's most expensive slap bracelet. You should have had Guinness certify it.
Bruno Bronosky the cheap ones would always be like razor blades inside and would come out and cut you
Bruno Bronosky ii
heck i remember cutting myself with one, i was bleeding like hell
the cheapest ones are actually made from metal measuring tape.
Good thing you mentioned it's stored in a safety deposit box. It'd suck for someone to break in because they think you have gold lying around in a sock drawer.
your right the thief might die in the attempt wouldn't want him to get a drink and accidentally find codys mercury stash instead Or worse his mouthwash.
Maybe it’s inside a sock drawer inside a safety deposit box. You can’t be too careful.
•puts crowbar into the garage again•
Aww
Nah silly that's where the explosives are.
"Safety deposit box" is code for sock drawer...
“Hey, dude do you have a tape measure?”
Cody: oh yeah, sure *Whips out solid gold foil”
That was my thought lol.
Cody your thumbnail tactic worked lad. well done.
Is this cody's version of flexing?
A G yep
Lmao
He only flexes because he loves us
You ain’t seen this in yo life
This cost yo mama’s rent
I think so
Wow. I'm glad I stuck around for that acid etch at the end that looks cool
Once again, acid reveals the (hidden) reality.
what does it do?
daniel Cardwell it got dissolved the gold dust that got into it from the sawing.
When you hammer the foil together, you create areas of greater and lesser density/hardness, that dissolve at different rates. When you stop the reaction and wash it, you end up with a texture, where the softer areas dissolve more than the harder areas. Etching also emphasizes grain boundaries in the metal.

Havent watched yet, but if the answer isnt gold, Im gonna be pissed
Good- I don't know what I expected in hindsight.
spoiler, it's gold.

Who needs a Gucci belt when you can have a belt made of solid gold?
"I'm not dumb enough to leave this in my house..."
*Nervous Laughter*
Personally I'd never leave that in a deposit box lol
Forget Cody's safety deposit box! We'll just vacuum his floor.
MM420 imagine that
"Officer, someone broke into my house!"
"Did they take anything of value or leave any evidence?"
"No sir, but they cleaned my living room and my workshop."
"Oh and they took the dust bag from the vacuum"
At this point I'm pretty sure that Cody also contains more gold than average.
It probably all almagated with the mercury inside his veins
Me: Driving around wondering what random stuff people might be doing.
Cody: Outside playing with a $25,000.00+ ball of gold.
My guess is gold
Mr. Mannn your first congrats
lolz
I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm gonna say I agree
That etching at the end is MASSIVELY satisfying. THANK YOU!
I know its kinda unfair to make another request of Cody after he delivered on something so stunning as this, but a high resolution (4k or above) image or even just a few seconds of video of that effect would be gorgeous
verdatum it would look so pretty if the polish stayed on the inside
Yep ! Looks like a damask steel pattern, but made of gold .
yah, would love to see him do a PT/AU dama ring/jewelry...
This little project you did could be considered an Art piece! That natural formation inside the ball was actually very interesting.
Another great video Cody. Thanks for being you......Your honest curious integrity shines through every time. keep'em comin bud!
Sputter a gold thin film onto a pair of glasses and make yourself some space-ready shades, no one else is going to have a pair of those.
*goes to trending*
Faces everywhere. It's kinda creepy how these companies like TH-cam/Facebook are using these algorithms/AIs.
i figured the 'trending' was just paid placement with a couple 'real' trending like how restaurant mashed potatoes are box flakes with one 'real' potato for lumps to make you think the whole thing is 'real' potatoes. same with restaurant guacamole. this makes the 'trending' page, maximum profit with a sprinkle of authenticity.
They are making Cody have to try to conform in some way to compete on trending spheres, it's unfortunate. Let people be creative and authentic. Kind of how we got this far, right?
I don't get it why you say this is clickbait. Clickbait means that you "Bait" a "Click" with a lie. You can see everything the title says and the thumbnail shows in the video
I think it's the younger fans who write the 'algorithm'. They love a happy or surprised face!
like it's about 50% paid ads and 50% popular videos. But not *just* popular, it need to have some other secret ingredient... Pure views doesn't get a video to trending, nobody really knows how videos get on that list really other than TH-cam.
Maybe Cody is on to something, and a smiling face helps the algo decide it's a "good" video...
I just love how Cody is obviously rich but he'd rather be a nerd and let us nerd out too. Thank you Cody
Judging by the state of his phone, I'd say he is either not rich or not used to "riches" which really aren't that huge, just a nice amount
Mark Dombrovan Just because for you a new and shiny phone is a sign of being rich, doesnt mean cody values it too. His phone was working fine (I dont know if thats still the case) and there is no reason to replace it. Not all people have to have the newest best things, even rich people.
@@Zuckerkome exactly.. you dont become rich by spending money..
@@Zuckerkome Yea its an iphone it'll be throttled till it's a brick soon enough by Apple.
@@cancer_sucks PREACH!!
5:13 I figured you being Cody’s lab having made all the things you have, you would make this metal flattener motorized instead of that tiring crank 🙏🙏
The "sphere" stuck inside is quite impressive, the cavity it left looks so smooth and shiny.
Oh, and loved the "behind the scenes" of the thumbnail ! :p
I am so glad, that you are still the good old cody without the stupid grind for views.
Yes i agree. Cody's one of the very few ytbers that i enjoy watching. I like the way he acts, and his mindset behind things.
Love watching you work with gold , it is such an amazing precious metal
Been watching since the 🐝 keeping and this channel is still putting out awesome videos. Good job on your success cody, you deserve it
Amazing video. You forgot the obligatory red arrow and circle on the thumbnail ;)
and boobs. maybe an * illegal * in the title
you forgot *GONE SEXUAL* * GONE WRONG* *IN THE HOOD*
Yall are forgetting about *NOT CLICKBAIT* (You'll be *SHOCKED*)
Aqua In that order?
Dont forget "I ALMOST DIED"
Answer - Gold.
i came here to make this comment, thank you
same actually
Spoilers! Gah!
My disappointment is immense and my day is ruined.
Mind - Blown
Ur vlogs are so cool to watch I'm glad I found them it gives me something else to watch when I'm not doing anything and I can learn a lot from watching
I love Cody, been watch his channel for years now currently revisiting some of his old ones
I do hope this goes trending. It is pretty interesting. I was amazed how beautiful it looked when you took out the nugget from the middle
Cody: the only human to make a solid gold geode.
that gold ball vibrating is because you cody, you sir have made it get very close to critical mass. . . much further and it will collapse and then explode and produce another big bang. A universe within a universe, and one where you and me are gods
Welcome to fantasyworld :D
Don't you have crypts for us to solve?

Actually that did happen in the form of a temporal causality and manifests the universe as a active simulation by the sustenance of balance in order to sustain the intrinsic quantum loops of the post temporal reality.
Love the etched half at the end. Awesome video.
Ah yes, golden fruit by the foot.
Bwhahahaha!
An actually interesting whats inside channel is what Codys Lab was secretly all along. The only key difference from the other whats inside channel is that this one is actually interesting
8:10 Hey its okay hes just a scared little ball of gold
Turn on sub-titles and go to 7:55
[Applause]
And then Eric is scaping from it lol. Must confuse the hell out of deaf people.
Put the ribbon in the roller and then weld the ends together, then start rolling! See how long you can make the loop!
LJTwiggy Hell yeah!! I'd like to see that too!
Play some Golden Oldies while you're at it, so it will look like you're listening to a golden 8-track!
Twist over once for Mobius strip.
Sage TX I was thinking that, but he might have gotten confused. However, it would have the most even coverage.
This would be cool, The only issue with the Mobius Strip is that he'd have to pull the roller apart to get the mobius gold ribbon out.
I used to be a goldsmith for several years. Never seen a vibrating gold ball but I did make a ring before that had a noticeable pulse at approx. the same frequency as a human heart. It was creepy but it stopped after about 10 seconds. Only happened once and I made hundreds of rings etc
I have considered this possibility but I made several hundred rings and other jewelry (mostly from scratch). It was only one time and I remember it very well. It was a silver Ring with approx. 95% Silver and 5% Copper in the alloy.
After making so much jewelry I think I can tell but who knows what the explanation was for this. I don't have the ring anymore. I don't know where it is right now,sold it, so it is not for sale ;) ....
Such a joyful thumbnail. Thanks for the happiness, Cody x)
Dude, you have just inspired me to get back into gold panning down here in GA. Thank you so much!
DID you find any???
The crystalline structure of the gold after etching was absolutely beautiful!
Rolling the ball across the table was great! Obviously, i trusted you when you said it was heavy, but the sound of that gave me a much greater sense of it. ❤️
This is my favourite video you have made that was awesome at the end!!!
oh my gold! that etched result is stunning!
The worlds most lavish cat toy.
Cody finally getting into the clickbait scene... 10/10 Cody
Will DePue The face is amazing
alittle bit ashamed too be honest... gonna miss the low-sub count cody
Will DePue I hope his channel stays like it is grant Thompson's channel went to shit and now all they do is stupid click bait videos for little kids
Duh Phok, why? Cody hasn't changed at all. His videos are just as wholesome as ever. Plus can you even call this clickbait? He *did* actually show us what was inside the $25k gold ball. You can tell he isn't taking it seriously at the end either, he's just having fun with it. Why's it matter what the thumbnail and title are? I watch CodysLab for the videos, not the titles...
Xander Luciano You and I have subscribed to Cody for different reasons my friend. I subbed to Cody way back because his videos were so educational (the Mine, hydroponic system, metal refinery and ect..). I too used to watch his videos for the great content and not the titles or thumbnails. Not that what he's putting up now isn't great, it's just changed into very mainstream channel drifting from its educational aspirations.
lol it has been a while, I almost had forgotten how much fun is watching your videos. You're so unpretentious person 👍
I have always wanted to do something like this. Not because it costs a lot of money but just because it's so fascinating to me how metal interacts with itself. So cool.
Cody is just about the only youtuber left whom you can actually trust when it comes to thumbnails and titles, bless you alchemy-Jesus.
Nick Grønsted I love Alchemy Jesus. That’s a great title.
That segment at the end was absolutely unbelievable, I got so close to my monitor to fully take in the sheer beauty of it, it really was something that I have never seen before! Loving what you're doing, and I love the thumbnail segment!
15:26 aka "Don't come and try to steal it from me."
Please keep making vids :) the colors of the solutions when you recover metals are amaaazing. 😆👍👑
Another amazing video featuring more gold than I will ever see in my whole life in reality. :D It's sad to see this channel struggle with TH-cam by being so good... :(
How is he struggling? He is playing around with 25K in gold your delusional.
Just continuously make a larger gold ball for your retirement savings. Once you're older the value of gold will make you a tone of profit and have the added benefit of watching your savings grow in the form of a ball.
or you could invest in a pension but wheres the fun in that
Yup, he should add to it only once a year, then he can cut it open and count the rings :D
RB I forget which kind exactly, but 1 of the platinum group metals went from like $800 an ounce up to $10,000 an ounce in 2008.. that's the metal I would collect and save.
That is wayyy more solid than i expected man. Nice work.
Rock on Cody! Love your videos!!!
Thumbnail look like the crayon kid lol
Looks like a soy boy.
Could the vibration be something similar to a Stirling engine? The loose inner piece would be displacing internal gases as it moves and they could be alternately cooling and heating against the unevenly heated inner surfaces
potently, sure the gold is thick from the surface to the "core" but gold is a good conductor so it may not matter... i don't have any other ways to explain it other than "SCIENCE!!!"
Oh because of the addition in the end it was in my recomms again. That is really cool to see the gold layers and what seems to be the crystalline structure.
Just found your chl, and you seem like a pretty cool dude.
Can’t wait to see your other vids.
This ball is like an onion. Which means that the ball is like Shrek. Which means CodysLab is just a huge setup to promote the release of Shrek 5's prominent character.

oh you silly silly man
Go fuck yourself stop commenting
All you do is steal other peoples comments and get more likes cause people recognize you
Without watching video I think I can safely say there is gold inside the gold ball
Request/suggest a video on the Igoli process. Hypochlorite/HCl leach... Keep up the great work Cody.
For a while I lost your channel to the algorithm but I'm so glad I've stumbled upon it again. Your vids are seriously some of my favorites on this entire website
Lol made a patreon just for you dad
I guess the next step is to make a fabergé egg out of that gold, Cody.😉
Cody, You've probably been asked this dozens of times, but have you looked into making Aerogel?
Underrated comment!
Incredible difficult task, I'm sure you have already watched Nile Red's video: pretty complex stuff.
@@giovannipelissero1886 was that video even released when these guys asked about aerogel?
@@cancer_sucks oh sorry I didn't notice, my bad. I also thought it was something that could be done at home with all of those aerogel videos on the internet but after nilered's difficult and expensive journey I realized that it's really difficult to make a good aerogel.

THE MOTION ANSWER: The people commenting on how the oscillation might be like a modified Stirling engine are very close! The movement IS caused by a differential thermal expansion/contraction across the multiple inner spheres as well as adiabatic expansion in the gas content of the inner spaces, but the differential itself is not driven by gaseous motion or displacement, although it does play a minor role since the ball is in contact with the anvil which acts as a heat sink, but since it is a sphere the point of contact is tiny and thus so is the thermal transfer, relatively.
Instead, the motion of the balls is driven by a harmonic expansion/contraction in the surface area of the spheres, which itself is driven by the difference in the annealing rates of the outer and inner spheres as they first gain and then lose heat in sequence from the outside -> in. Using a point source of heating exacerbates this since there is also a major difference in heating/cooling rates from the point-contacts of the spheres upon each other which is dependent on the relative distance between the direction of heating and the direction of gravity, which is the resting-state point of contact for all of the inner spheres and thus the major point of heat transfer between them. Gold is not the only substance that shows this property as many metals with a high thermal conductivity and large crystal grain structures also show harmonic oscillation as grain boundaries are broken and re-formed.
Essentially when crystal grains in the material are broken under heating, they release mechanical strain as energy which causes a minute linear expansion/contraction in the material and on a (theoretically perfect) sphere this takes the form of a small force being imparted perpendicular to the surface. Thus, anything on the outside of the sphere is pushed outward and anything resting on an inside surface is pushed toward the center. This force is incredibly small but is magnified during high rates of crystal breakage/forming. Vibrations within the surface area of a circle/sphere are by definition harmonic in nature, i.e. why a wine glass "sings" and so given enough time and a reasonably consistent ratio of crystal formation/breakage, the motion of the inner spheres will settle into the lowest energy harmonic state.
You could easily test this by heating the gold sphere with a symmetrical heating element (non-point source) until you reach the point of full general annealing where mechanical stress is at minimum, which for 990 gold is something like 1400-1500 F. Then you SHOULD see the oscillation slowly become smaller as the internal spheres also reach mechanical minimum in turn from the outside -> in.
However, if you tried this and saw something different like the oscillation continuing or even increasing... well then that would be very, very interesting indeed!
Thanks!
Next time I feel like the smartest person in the room, I'll remember this comment and go find smarter people (like you) to hang out with!
W. Bush Yup. It's fun being the smartest person in the room occasionally, but life is more interesting when you aren't. (Though, even when you are the smartest person around, there are still things you can learn.)
Thank you Mr. President! But I can't take credit for it... I knew the basic mechanism more-or-less but there was I lot I didn't know - a good hour's research fixed me right up though. All people are smart and stupid in equal measure, it just depends on the area you engage them in ;)

XD so true lol
This is his job so you gotta do what you gotta do. As long as his content is the same, no one should care what his thumbnail looks like. If anything, trick people into watching this to get some education.
I didn't know you could weld material with just pressure and no friction. Thanks for teaching me stuff Cody.
Barnacules Nerdgasm you can actually tighten pipe fittings or stainless steel fittings so hard and tight (thats what she said) that you weld the male to female threads together.
never touch stainless bolts with a rattle gun, the vibrations cause the same thing
Get to ur videos Barnacules, IT geeking needed!
actualy they used to have problems with the old space missions the doors would weald themselves shut in zero G so they had to change things up
Barnacules Nerdgasm / In theory, it’s not really welding. The correct term would be ‘melding’
Love how you talk so openly about making a thumbnail and your ideas about the youtube system
That little gold ball is really cool. It's shiny, and rattle-y, and I like it.
Hi Cody,
mabye you could recreate the "Geiger-Marsden experiment", it would be fun to see that done on your channel since it involves gold (goldfoil) and something with radioactivity :D.
You could show us how it was done in the 19th century
As always i love your content!
I could totally do that.
This would be awesome :D
I am so glad you cut it open. I was dying to see what it looked like on the inside!
Very cool Cody, nice video :)
glad your doing good cody
