Those silver crystals in the cell are just beautiful. I don't know if it would be worth your time to pick them out whole as they get big enough and encase them in acrylic. I think that would be a cool desktop sculpture people would buy mounted on a sreetips stand.
Sreetips, I never get tired of the " new " light addition. It really brings the color of the cemented gold out. I know you didn't have to use or buy it to do your work and it's for your viewers and I truly appreciate it. ❤

That little bar had a shine to make someone drool. You could see the purity in the reflection on the bar. She's a 10 and .999+ for sure. Thank you once again for taking us along. The SO2 is champ. You are going to have to start pouring some silver bars, Sr. lol
Lovely little bar of gold :) You did it again mr Sreetips ... love to see that flashover moment when the solution suddenly clouds over with gold dust ... very satisfying phenomenon I wager, when witnessed in person... the ultimate manifestation of all the work that led up to it
That is some of the best looking silver crystal I’ve seen in your videos. Cell #2 is outstanding. Never seen that kind of growth in such a short time. Is that a result of the new power unit or the new way you have created the shot. Or both? The gold bar is also outstanding. There’s just something about that silver crystal in that blue solution that’s absolutely mesmerizing.
These gas precipitations are always brilliant. I was reading the comments and saw your explanation on why you label everything, as a creator myself, I totally get it (I watermark mine in the corners). Will say again those gas precipitations are magic, yes it did look like chocolate milk 😁
To calculate the theoretical yield of the silvercell per amp per day: The charge of 1 electron is 1.6E-19 Coulomb. One amp is 1 Coulomb per second. So 1 amp equals 6.2E+18 electrons per second. A mole is 6.0E+23 atoms of silver. Thus 1 amp delivers 1.04E-05 mole of silver per second. The mol weight of silver is 107.8 gram. Thus 1 amp results in the deposition of 1.1 mg of silver per second. That is 4 gram per hour, and that results in 97 grams of silver per day per amp.
Next Sunday I go buy bulk jewelry to start stocking up. I like science. I like gold and prospecting ⛏️ too. Acid based cleaners don't freeze, mostly. It's cold again up north and I have to empty my hazmat van nightly so nothing freezes. Thank you for sharing with us. Excellent Work Sreetips 🤠 that's a lot of gold from waste recovery. Why you should always save everything and rinse everything.

@@sreetips This is the internet, if you were doing something anywhere close to incorrectly you'd get berated for it. The fact that 99.9% of the feedback is enjoyment, praise, and curiosity, that says it all.
Another great video Sir. Is it just me, or is Silver cell 1 lagging Silver cell 2 in growth? I would be curious to see two measurements with the non HP supply. Actual output voltage under load compared to the reading on the supply, and seeing how clean the DC is on an Oscilloscope under load as well. It wouldn’t hurt to verify the HP, but in my 44 years in the electronics industry, my HP equipment has never let me down.
I have been watching for over 18 months now. It would be great to have a video to understand how you got interested in doing this and how you got the knowledge and skill. Did you work in this area eg science or is this a hobby. I find this all fascinating. Also I know you did a great video a while back using a whiteboard showing the gold and silver process and how the waste from one goes into the other. It would be good to repost that or refresh it.
@sreetips I love you videos and have always had a question. Would it be possible to have a kit created for a simple home user (without a fume hood) to be able to refine their own gold from paydirt bags for instance. I can see all the problems with this ahead of time, but if there was something where hobby placer miners or gold paydirt purchasers could refine their gold that would be amazing. I know there would be a decent cost to it, but if the kit could be used a few times before having to replicate that would be amazing. Talking trou oz or less of course.
im curious, are both your pws pure sine or modified and if that is enough to make a difference but my suspicion is the finer granularity of the impure shot, finer grain = more surface area = better current flow through the shot into the electrolyte and out the nucleation surface you should run the shot through a classifier to pull the fine shot from the coarse and run each cell off 1 or the other and see which has the higher performance so you can maybe modify your shot pouring rig to produce finer grain consistently
I am Curious as to what Effect the Power Supply WaveForm affects the Electrowinning Process. The HP Power Supply seems to Work much Better than the Older Unit. It would be very interesting to see both Outputs on an Oscilloscope to show the WaveForm.
hey sreetips, been a while since i commented on your videos. i love the bubbling process. its very interesting to watch the color change. keep up the great content!
I wonder if the participation would be faster if you could make the bubbles smaller. However I can't think of a way without restricting the flow or introducing places that could capture gold. Not like you could use a fish tank air stone. Anyway great video.
Correct. The book says to use a 1/4 inch opening on the delivery tube so it don’t get clogged up with gold. I actually did this reaction about ten years ago and used a pipette tip. It promptly clogged up with gold and I had to take it apart and clean it out.
Agreed. It's one reason why 200,000 of us are delighted to watch more or less the same things time after time. And no ads or product endorsements masquerading as info either. Love it!
Without weighing it I can tell you that it definitely weighs the same. In solution the gold is just bonded with other elements to form the compound H[AuCl4]. The atomic weight of the elements does not change.
Dang do u ever try to dissolve the remaining presous metals out of them win ur done with them? I've got a couple that are not in use anymore that need the metals removed!
What a wonderful video to start my day. You are the best, sir! Your labor has produced !❤ I think you've just created a rare classification for purified gold. 5/9s pure😂999.99😮 Or maybe even 999.999! The asking price per gram is spot on. Considering the labor involved producing this beautiful lil bling-bling 😉
the powder at 17.07 seems to adhere more to the clump of matter instead of being dilluted into the excess cleaning water to remove the waste water after treatment.
I'm assuming when you throw sulfuric acid in, you're trying to get it to combine with lead and it would form lead sulfate. Just curious what you would do with that if it did precipitate out since it's kinda useless. Just toss it? I really hope you keep doing this stuff for a while. It's practical chemistry and extremely fun and informative to watch!
Just kind of curious how much Pb one accumulates after refining, I'm guessing mostly Karat scrap. Do you ever do cupellations of your accumulated filter paper?@@sreetips
No. Karat gold doesn’t contain much lead. Occasionally some lead will enter the process when a repair is attempted with soft solder. Soft solder contains lead and tin. I add the sulfuric as a matter of routine because it does no harm and provides a big benefit - removing 100% of the lead as lead sulfate. And because that’s what the pros that I learned from taught me to do.
What I think would look really cool..if you could some of the silver crystal trees in a resin cube..with the same color as the electrolite and then and some light to it ....just a thought when you look in the bowls at the trees

@@taxesdeathandtrouble.1886 I would love to see different size bowls, different shapes, different current values, not sure what else can change. Maybe other methods of purifying the silver. Maybe some automation in there? How knows man.
I think 110$ per g is a fair price for all the work, tools, electricety and asides you put in it. If someone can't apeciate that, they have no buissnes been in your shop. Lovley bar Sreetips. It's so shiny. It always is when you use co2 gaz for gold precipitation. Thanks for sharing.
When you sell gold or silver on ebay, do you look up current gold prices and price yours based on that, or do you just set a price and if the gold jumps up or down, you collect the gains or eat the losses?
I try not to sell any gold. But if I need some paper to pay bills then I offer some. This piece is just some spare gold I had in my waste containers. Mrs sreetips sets the price. And if it don’t sell, then I get to keep it.
I wonder if running the gas through an aquarium bubbler would drop the gold quicker since there's be more surface area. (also wonder if the bubbler could handle being submerged in that solution without disolving.
I was gonna say i like watching you work with weapons grade metals and you dont say flashpoint every other word. It is nice watching the gold precipitate out. Flash ✨
The Latin for salt water (brine) is muria, so muriatic means pertaining to saltwater, and by extension to salt. So a muriate is a chloride and hydrogen muriate is muriatic acid.

Sell the silver Sreetips. Keep a bar for yourself and sell the rest. Its a lot of work you put into it all. The Dragon says keep it, fill a safe and no worries 😂
I’m grateful because I don’t have to sell any of my metals. They go in my treasury. I run my own bank and its deposits are backed by GOLD (and silver). All other banks back their deposits with; PAPER.

Feb 19 spot price for 24k is $71USD/g. Is there a reason why you’re asking an additional $40/g? I know your time and material are worth real-life money but when someone can go out and buy gold for cheaper, why buy it at a premium with no assay from you? I’m not asking as though I’m being rude, I’m just looking for some perspective.
No problem; There are two prices for every item for sale. The bid and the ask. The bid is what a buyer is willing to offer. The ask is what the seller is willing to accept. It’s just that simple. Hope this helps.
that would be the most painful chocolate milk anyone ever drank and i don't think i ever saw the so2 precipitation go like that, crashing out huge flakes of gold long before flashing over
so you want 2650$ for that. It sounds like a good amount of money, and since this is from the waste container that is pretty much all profit out side of the chemicals and energy and time and other supplies. But what I would like to know is, when you do need to find the gold, regardless of source, or rather across all sources, and after accounting for all the processing. Is this profitable for you to do? Like how much roughly do you make off of gold refining per gram? What are the most profitable sources to hunt for? Please make a video with all the financial analytics :D
Since this is my hobby (gold refining) I don’t track expenses for each batch. We buy gold at all different prices. I normally pay about 80% of spot. Peoples jaw drops open when I tell them. They usually have no idea how valuable their scrap gold is. Other times we pay a few bucks for several thousand worth of gold. Yard sales are the best. Estate sales. Consignment and resale stores. This is what Mrs sreetips and I have chosen to do. Sure beats punching a time clock at Home Depot to work for slips of printed paper. We get paid in GOLD, and silver. I’d estimate a typical gold refining with three Troy ounce gold ingot at the end of - less than a hundred bucks, all in. Not counting the metals.
Please see kitco.com and there you will see the current price of gold that is traded on the comex. But be advised, a large paper futures market exists that allows the gold (and especially silver) prices to be easily controlled. They can sell gold and silver that’s created out of thin air as futures contracts. Paper gold and paper silver. This enables them to easily control the price, and therefore demand, for physical gold and silver. It also makes the spot price, like all other numbers were being given, absolute garbage. We use the grossly undervalued “spot price” off kitco, to determine what we pay for the metals. Hope this helps.
I'd certainly pay the premium for a sreetips bar, knowing the effort that went in to it, for the same reason people pay so much for a VC AP PP Rolex watch
Im a little disappointed your spoons to the silver cells dont have Sreetips written on them lol

Does the Gold in solution [@6:08] when cooled weigh the same as the gold out of solution + the weight of the liquids that make up the solution ?
Without weighing it I can tell you that it definitely weighs the same. In solution the gold is just bonded with other elements to form the compound H[AuCl4]. The atomic weight of the elements does not change.
A volume of liquid with gold dissolved in it will weigh more than the same volume of liquid with no gold in it.

I want the name of the episode in which you extracted gold from the deposits of a silver electrolysis basket ❤
@@abdelrahmanmohamed3200I’m pretty sure it’s called just that… gold from silver cell filters. Or recovery from
Silver cell filters maybe.. just go to his channel and scroll back about a year.
Search silver cell anode filters on my channel.
A towel now. Nice touch.
Have you ever used the " buffered " Sulphuric ( with the red tint )?
Liquid Fire, no, I have not because of the red dye.
That is wat I use! A good boil or distillation clears it right up! I usually just use it tho no side affects so far!
It was recommended to me, but Rooto is right next to the liquid fire at Ace Hardware, and it’s nice and clear, like reagent grade. The Data Sheet says it’s 93%
Do you know if it is just red dye, or is it something else? I can't seem to find anything about it.@@sreetips
I don’t know why the red is in there.
That new cell is working great. I guess that new power supply was worth it.
The silver are looking like a record yield!!
Amazing price if you can get it. Almost double market rate!
Witam i pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱 dobra robota 👍👍👍
Thank you!
You keeping track how many times you've sent this batch😂 to meet its maker oh 3 times thank you 🤠
Sell the silver Sreetips. Keep a bar for yourself and sell the rest. Its a lot of work you put into it all. The Dragon says keep it, fill a safe and no worries 😂
I’m grateful because I don’t have to sell any of my metals. They go in my treasury. I run my own bank and its deposits are backed by GOLD (and silver). All other banks back their deposits with; PAPER.
🧙♂️🔮I see stacks of empty cement silver buckets in the near future....
Wow that new HP is a monster! The juice has stayed the same as day one!
PS... It just breaks my heart to see you have to stamp the magnificent mirror-like loaf top of your bars..💔😭
Feb 19 spot price for 24k is $71USD/g. Is there a reason why you’re asking an additional $40/g? I know your time and material are worth real-life money but when someone can go out and buy gold for cheaper, why buy it at a premium with no assay from you? I’m not asking as though I’m being rude, I’m just looking for some perspective.
No problem; There are two prices for every item for sale. The bid and the ask. The bid is what a buyer is willing to offer. The ask is what the seller is willing to accept. It’s just that simple. Hope this helps.
@sreetips nice lesson
Always a very cool thing to watch be safe everyone
that would be the most painful chocolate milk anyone ever drank
and i don't think i ever saw the so2 precipitation go like that, crashing out huge flakes of gold long before flashing over
why are you pleased with th3e new performance of the new power supply? you just happy aint ya? or is it something in particular
so you want 2650$ for that. It sounds like a good amount of money, and since this is from the waste container that is pretty much all profit out side of the chemicals and energy and time and other supplies.
But what I would like to know is, when you do need to find the gold, regardless of source, or rather across all sources, and after accounting for all the processing. Is this profitable for you to do? Like how much roughly do you make off of gold refining per gram? What are the most profitable sources to hunt for? Please make a video with all the financial analytics :D
Since this is my hobby (gold refining) I don’t track expenses for each batch. We buy gold at all different prices. I normally pay about 80% of spot. Peoples jaw drops open when I tell them. They usually have no idea how valuable their scrap gold is. Other times we pay a few bucks for several thousand worth of gold. Yard sales are the best. Estate sales. Consignment and resale stores. This is what Mrs sreetips and I have chosen to do. Sure beats punching a time clock at Home Depot to work for slips of printed paper. We get paid in GOLD, and silver. I’d estimate a typical gold refining with three Troy ounce gold ingot at the end of - less than a hundred bucks, all in. Not counting the metals.
@@sreetips thank you, but what is spot?
Please see kitco.com and there you will see the current price of gold that is traded on the comex. But be advised, a large paper futures market exists that allows the gold (and especially silver) prices to be easily controlled. They can sell gold and silver that’s created out of thin air as futures contracts. Paper gold and paper silver. This enables them to easily control the price, and therefore demand, for physical gold and silver. It also makes the spot price, like all other numbers were being given, absolute garbage. We use the grossly undervalued “spot price” off kitco, to determine what we pay for the metals. Hope this helps.
@@sreetips it does thank you!
You could probably setup a third silver reclaiming station!
Having two running at once is enough for now. It’s like baby sitting so they don’t get in trouble. Especially towards the end.
That’s better than chocolate milk! Good video
the sulfamic acid makes sulfuric acid as a by product so the lead should be gone already, but it never hurts to be sure with a second helping
I add sulfuric acid no matter what. One of my mentors taught me to do that.
Spectacular looking gold bar Sreetips.
thats worth £1239 and a nice little finger tickeler bar of shineshine for the cause goodone mr sreetips your the wizard dude
Love watching the channel it's amazing 👏 😍 👌
As you went from the Gold to the Silver and back to the Gold was Pulchritudinous
Pulchritudinous means; beautiful. Had to look it up.
All this from the waste fluid. One mans trash is another mans' triple refinement to get to treasure.
I'd certainly pay the premium for a sreetips bar, knowing the effort that went in to it, for the same reason people pay so much for a VC AP PP Rolex watch
The difference in color is like night and day after the hcl boil
I'm pretty sure that video doesn't do the silver cells justice as far as how beautiful they actually are
Just in time video, I was starting to have a boring Saturday night.
Mmm forbidden orange juice.
Working late again Shipmate? Can't get over the Port & Starboard duty sections 🤣
Six and six! That’s some hard duty.
Wow. It's like that one scene in 'The holy mountain.'
Awesome video absolutely gold bar thanks for sharing sreetips
great bar nice video work too
Fantastic 😊
