Now I am going to tell you more about some expensive and toxic substances. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Buy platinum group metals. They're valuable because of their rarity and their use as catalysts in many chemical processes. They don't really get used up in the reactions and can be reverted to their metallic state.
@The European Bee you don't invest by buying it physically. You loose to much on taxes this way (think VAT, PIT vs CGT). You invest in stocks or commodity on financial markets.
@@ccriztoff Because he makes the videos for Estonians first.
@@poat3453 Recycling? Pt group metals? Sifting through street sweepings might pay off. Or just accept the end-of-life catalytic convertors as your stock for a few species.
I am currently paying CAD $250.00 per troy ounce of 99.99 pure Palladium
@@sznikers or get it out of the trash, refine it at home & tell the government nothing !!
I am currently paying CAD $250.00 per troy ounce of 99.99 pure Palladium
most of that cost is for chemicals to clean it up.
It worked, my $50 gold is now worth $500. The only downside was, that the chemicals cost me $450.
Lmao
$550, you forgot to add sales tax. Lololol.
@@matthewyabsley 😂
nitric and hydrochloric acid? they're both very cheap
@@matthewyabsley & shipping
I think compounds for biology are still the king of expensive compounds, like some toxins, like a amanitin which can cost +100€ for 1mg. There are of course much more expensive compounds but even commonly used ones like probes and enzymes are super expensive per mg
Plus ordering radioactive molecules. I remember ordering radiolabeled drugs as marker substrates that were very expensive. I'd like to see a video on how they synthesize radiolabeled molecules with the radioactive atoms in specified positions. I have some idea, but haven't looked into it. I'd especially be interested in the logistics behind it as some can't be stored for a long time and there's low demand. Not really related, but I remember one professor ordering a $30,000 rat and also placing an order a new mass spectrometer and associated equipment that was just over a million at work, though I can't remember if that was for one or two. That one made me really appreciate that other labs at school let us use their equipment.
HP printer ink is also very expensive.
@@MaxMuller0 not as expensive as primary antibodies
Copium
Particle physics definitely wins in most expensive materials. Anti-Hydrogen is $1 billion per mg.
Such an amazing video, so informative! Thank you.
Great video my Estonian friend! Keep up the great work !!
I knew I was right about the accent!
I have most of those metals. I think it's time to diversify and see what lab equipment is needed (and cost). Thanks for the idea.
I could listen to this guy read the phone book and be entertained. The intonation of his accent is just great.
It's quite the opposite for me, and the fact that either the video or the audio is lagging behind a significant amount of miliseconds makes it even more unbearable.
Regarding the superconductor, it's much "worse" when you want to make usable "wires" from it to make magnets. You need the YBCO to be almost perfectly single-crystalline, which requires vacuum deposition techniques. The endproduct, a thin tape, costs in the order of 50 euro per meter these days (but quickly going down thanks to private fusion power companies like, Tokamak Energy, ordering thousands of kilometers of the stuff)
1:10 As I know the D₂H can also be separated from ordinary water by freezing it. Deuterium has a bit higher (~ +0.1C⁰) freeze temperature than H₂O
You cannot almost certainly control the freezing process to such a subtle degree, or rather decidegree to be precise. So I'd say it can't be done in real life.
@@LuisAldamiz you dont need to freeze 100% of the water
For example start with 100 liters and keep partially freezing it like 50 % each time
After a couple cycles you will have a smaller amount enriched with D2O
Or just use electrolysis or aluminium NaOH like cody did
@@koukouzee2923 - Is it actually done? You seem to be talking of an actual technique.
@@LuisAldamiz I never seen it done (the freezing method) but theoretically it should work
But the aluminum NaOH and electrolysis are legit
I'm planning to do it one day it's in my projects list
Chemistry is such a beautiful science
Ima have to watch this video at least 100 more times! Thank you for this. 🥂
Main problem for most of the people would be finding the place to sell such products. I admit that it can cost more than the original reactants but finding a buyer for me would be hell I guess
Most of us just cooked up some in demand products instead of weird rare chemicals. But i guess there is a difference in risk with the hive method.
@@Sentient.A.I. actual ai acomment?
University science professors?
@@JAKASHA420 no but im a chemistry enjoyer
also, the people buying such compounds are probably not interested in a couple of grams that some nerd made in his/her homelab
Always on top sir, thank you!
one of the many downsides of these process is that depending on the reagents used, you may not know the contaminants in them so it could add a significant ammount of impurities to your product that could havle a drastic effect on the price. one place might buy your 5 grams of Chloroauric acid for whatever ammount, but if its only like 95%-98% pure the place might not even want to buy it. from what ive gathered from metal refiners and chemists who do stuff like this, any significant ammount of impurities will tank your earnings, plus even if your product is pretty pure you still have to buy pure reagents, which are expensive, so this is really only viable if youre doing it in a large scale (50+ gram ammounts).
That an excellent point, very true, the impurities tank the price
Purity is always where the cost comes from. Anybody can stick a few chemicals together in a bowl and call it a finished product.
@@amicloud_yt same can be said for females, it can look good but the value is in purity. If she has contaminants from the whole football team nobody wants it.
Since it not up to standards for serious chemistry haha
@@oscarbear7498 uhhh what a weird attitude. are men alright? ya'll fuckin crazy. glad i am a lesbian
@@oscarbear7498 dude wtf
Speaking of Tritium -- they synthesized it in my home town 👍 Joint venture with DuPont at the Savanah River facility...
Anyway yesterday i acquired the book "History of DuPont at the Savannah River Plant"
It goes into a TON OF DETAIL about the original design of the HEAVY WATER extraction plant built here - Different iterations of the target and cladding designs...
Even discusses how they changed the equipment around to start targeting Tritium for development of Hyperbaric bombs
Tons of original photos also 👍👍
In the GS system to acquire heavy water the Hydrogen Sulfide started forming a "condesate" with the DO .... Eventually the condesate displaced so much water that the whole interior of the tank collapsed 👍👍
They collectively "scratched their heads" 🤣
Also for safety reason they installed a "neutron poison" tank.... The operator could pull a cable and release the poisson into the DO and stop the reaction... That was the 3rd protection... used if the gravity fed DO doesn't work for some reason
While in Washington last time my relatives didnt understand why I wanted to go to the Dupont Museum...
For them, I was going to see Lycra, Spandex and textiles. Ahhh the sadness I felt...
I love industry / history books. That must be a great book to read :)
How is it made? I only thought it could be made by bombarding lithium with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.
@@malcolmabram2957 you are correct - that's what they did except they never "produced electricity" with the "reactors"
They just bombarded STUFF 👍👍💥💥
very interesting!! those reactions are beautyful! thanks for the show!
We should look at the price of antimatter.
It is VERY energetic when annihilating typical materials.
And needs even more energy to make. The only way it’s synthesized is from the most powerful particle colliders in the world
But you cannot effectively make antimatter except in tiny amounts in particle accelerators, keeping it away from regular matter is also extremely tricky (vacuum and magnets are required), so all kinds of impractical. That's why antimatter is so extremely expensive, almost invaluable.
Oh, you’ve been watching TH-cam also. Good for you
Good luck ever producing - let alone capturing and storing antimatter lmao.
Antihydrogen has been stored for less than 20 minutes at CERN in the past - one of the most capable facilities in the world for such a thing.
This was super informative and cool!
Bob Lazar claims to have 228 grams of Element 115, which of course provides the anti-Gravity drive for the saucers at Area 51. He should be a
very rich man, but says he misplaced the material somewhere along the way. lol
Another great video. I learn so much from your channel.
The way he manipulates chemichal compounds makes him look like a modern day DaVinci. I love this channel!
It’s just chemistry, but yeah it’s really cool
@@edma06 Da Vinci hand't a great interest in compounds, but later in life when he worked for the military
Thats a good shirt
And the reaction looks cool...pyrosynthesis...
At 5:02 are those old long-arc xenon lamps that you've repurposed into fancy plasma tubes? That's awesome. I've got a (presumably functional) long-arc lamp sitting on my desk that I was planning on doing stupid Nd:YAG stuff with.
I'm getting into this process in a way, I'm buying silver gold strontium copper and more to make glass colors for artists to use.
Tritium is most commonly used in gun sights
Good list, I'll leave Os to others though :)
We can make a few of these compounds but never expect to sell them at the same price as Merck, Fisher etc.
Hobbyist cannot guarantee the purity / effectiveness of the compound / catalyst in the same way as those firms can.
It's the same issue with silver refining. Who need Umicore to assay twice refined silver ? It's gonna be 99.99% with or without their stamp...
If you can prove the efficiency you can get a decent rate for sure. This can be as simply as logging the exact quantities of each metal and reagent used and compare that to the mass of the end result. Obviously the hobbyist will have more loss than an industrial setup -- but people like @sreetips can produce high purity chemical products. (He mostly does gold / silver extractions and purifications, but the purity is 99.99% -- so an experienced hobbyist could produce similar results with the same level of expertise.
@@l_unchtime It doesnt matter ! One ounce of gold marked Umicore will always cost more than unmarked bullion no matter who refined it and how talented they are.
Always interesting:) thank you
Fascinating. I'm surprised that these pure elements are cheaper than compounds that contain them.
how often does a meal cost less than the ingredients used to make it?
@@axelpothier2957 when it's foraged .
Finally a new video, I realy like your videos.
Very informative video thanks for sharing
Great Video highly informative and interesting
Now if only I could find a company willing to buy chemicals from a random unknown chemist
Great vid! Good to see the kitty!
I want to know the exact type of induction furnace, and where to buy it.
I have experience smelting three metals together (iron, copper and aluminum) to test conductivity and others, so I need this furnace
love that accent bro, no sarcasm, true talk
pls do another videos like this!!!!!!
Also how much D2O did u manage to produce?
and t what energy cost?
Give some information, if antimony chloride solution is added to sodium sulphite solution, can antimony sulphite Sb2(so3)3 be made?
please guide
0:47 Fun fact. That heavy water is sold by Bob Lazar's company. The guy who used to work on government black budget anti-gravity tech in Nevada. He was on Joe Rogan in 2019
Oh yeah, I can see a government research facility purchasing chemicals I made in my basement. 🤣😂
i have trition aim sights to my hand gun, amazing stuff, i love to had it!
In terms of the gold compound What concentrations do I need the hydrochloric and nitric acid to be.
I know the percentages I just need to find out what the concentration is
Love it 💙
Sir if i dissolve pladium in Aqua Riga then how can i recover back tell me please ❤
Awesome video, looking forward to seeing what else you have on your channel!
i have tried to make my YBCO with your methods but it doesn't become supraconductor, have you use how much temperature and for how long ?
Where have you bought your beautiful "neon" panel ? I want the same !
Informative TY
Awesome, thanks.
Yeah, but how do you sell the compounds?
Physicists observed a strange new type of behaviour in a magnetic material when it’s heated up. The magnetic spins ‘freeze’ into a static pattern when the temperature rises, a phenomenon that normally occurs when the temperature decreases discovered the phenomenon in the material neodymium
Sir/ma'am can you please link some article I want to learn more about it
Best Science Video Ever!!!
Totally cool video! Smart!
Tritium is needed for fusion reactors.
You need it for the edges of the reactor for some very complicated reasons.
But there's basically none as it was thrown out as waste in most reactors that made it around the world. So fusion work is greatly limited by its supply.
thank god for captions
I have a diving watch with tritium tubes for illumination. I love it you can read it in any condition.
Nice that you show also TalTech :)
May I ask what the electric discharge display behind you is?
love the shirt my man
what metal oxide put to cement to make strong concrete ,only metal oxide
this will help me save a lot of money in a small business model maybe even sell the compound as an extra earner, so simple so elegant but i will stay clear of the osmium
Yep. How about that? One of my Proffs in grad school had figured out a way to easily and relatively cheaply extract platinum from cars' catalytic converters. He had one or two US Patents relating to those chemical processes. Made a barrel or two of $ to go with his other chemical patents. Often, just flipping through a chemical catalog will get your attention. People will also pay well for a nearly pure sample of a chemical that can be gotten cheaply in its technical grade form. So you don't have to know or do exotic chemistry, exactly, just be willing to do long, drawn out purification. Either approach might make you some serious $.
I have no clue what this video is about (about to watch) but I really hope there's some great way of idk, chemically turning cheap materials into more useful chemical precursors and being able to legally sell those as an individual to say, a small research lab, or online. That's my kind of modern day real life video game skill farming for money
The problem is even small research labs probably won't buy it because potential impurities aren't worth the money saved. Testing for those impurities and optimising the synthesis costs money, so in the end you will probably be just as expensive if you wanna do it properly. For use in your hobby lab it's probably good enough though
Fantastic video
Thanks for the tips, but I don't think I'll be messing round with aqua regia anytime soon. 😳
Great video
10:35 Don't show this to NileRed.
Remember to never drink heavy water--you'll get atomic ache. (From some 50's scifi novel I read, I don't remember which one)
Nile red drank some. Said it tasted sweet. IIRC
10:55 i was like wtf when that popped up because it's our tallinn technical university
1:50 I like your plasma tube on wall behind you, where did you got from?
you can make silver more expensive by making it into silver halides and making film, then photographing something very rare with it so the photo becomes valuable.
brightly colored experiments look cool!
OH i heard about this one!
There is an entire tv show about it I think it is called "Bad Breaking" or something
So how exactly would one go about selling these compounds, just call up places that do research and ask them if they want to buy some?
It will be hard to sell your auric compound without certificate of analysis.
But, sure, you can sell it on Ebay I guess.
I was happy to finally see more experimental chemistry 😉on this channel instead of just industry documentaries.
However, the English pronunciation was sometimes easier to understand...
Maybe switch to a natural-sounding computer voice? Or a voice actor? I know someone (not me...) who would certainly like to do that...
Dollar sign comes in front of the amount in almost all use cases in countries where it is used.
On my way to synthesis Nihonium and buy the earth
*Walter White Noises*
Edit: I know you dont make *Eh em* Rock Candy with metal
I have had one of them key chains for over 20 years. It still glows. I would love to know where the "15 year" half-life comes from. Unless mine is mixed with some other radioactive material 😟
It doesn't stop glowing after 15 years. It's intensity will be reduced to half after 15 years.
Yeah its radioactive material. Dude says it in the video
How about a video of weird, dangerous and interesting chemical reactions
alchemists: "called it"
Imagine discovering the process in which the creation of a super conductor material that forms the reactive properties without the use of liquid nitrogen
Thata gave me an idea
They are spending millions in that research.
Patent US 2019 /0058105 A
This is cool and all but where can you sell it?
What a video. Thanks
Always something fascinating! Can't get enough of your content dude! ❤️👍😎👨🔬⚗️⚛️
fascinating
Yeah than the diverentional between tritium space inbetween within and around the tritium particles release so match towart outside the the diverentional on the luminating layer creat resistance as the start running harder between boths ends for us to see light
Like the moon😍
I kept expecting his shirt to crash to desktop during the video
Source for element display?
Cool VIdeo, and the Cat is great.
Superconductive ceramic is used for solid state BATTERY technology.
Very interesting video.
NileRed made YBCO as well and his trial and error process. This video is still better because it gives other alternatives into making money with it.
Nice examples !!!
You sir, are a Richard Heart doppelganger.
You can also turn stone and paint into art. Work makes matter more valuable.
Αmazing! Thank you so much!!
Very Nice!!!!
make car rims from nitinol. Hit a pothole - collect insurance money. heat up nitinol - rims return to original shape - repeat hitting potholes for infinite insurance payouts :)
is a good idea to recycling the electronic waste. However you forgot to mention who is willing to buy your gold compounds 🥺😔.
It takes a lot of electronic waste to get any appreciable amount of gold from the ram chips. They do it in Africa with throwaway cell phones. They burn the phones in a fire and pick out the molten metals out of it to get a few cents...because that is all the buyer will pay...because it mixes easily with other metals and gets lost in the mix. Besides that burning the plastic is giving off a toxic smoke. It is a complex chemical process to get to pure gold. The ram chips are getting smaller so there is less gold in them so you need to burn thousands of phones. Hell, if I collect soda cans it will be faster to make money. & easier.
