I have an experiment for you king of random. I really like your videos and I have seen you help ppl with curiosity I wanted you to do this small experiment. Take three jars Label them 1,2,3 One should be able to handle high pressure and other low pressure and the other one a normal one. Put water in those containers and then pressurize, vaccumize(if that's a word) and then put all the three containers in the freezer. Then which one freezes faster and which one slower. Explain in details Thank you. Like if you want him to do the experiment Edit: you can replace water with other liquids to insight us more or for fun!
My dad is the owner of a small business where they design and manufacture electronics and they actually used this metal platting technique for one of their client's project, pretty cool
Hey i had this awesome video Idea while i was doing my studies last night. If someone who knows Optical branch of physics is reading this they will appreciate this. So if you put a source of white light and the light passes through the prism, placing a screen in front of it you will get a rainbow formed. But if you set this up in vacuum, theoretically the rainbow shouldn't form as speed of different components of white light is same in vacuum. I hope i see this get implemented. Much love to TKOR team ! Keep going strong !
You should nickel plate a copper plated nickel. Then put it in the fire until it turns golden. Also, fun fact, copper pennies since 1982 are 97.5% zinc. You could copper plate a recently minted penny and patina it to get that old copper penny look on a new design.
Fun fact . To nickel plate you first need a copper plate base or you can do a zinc base and it works as well ..thats the only reason it worked on a new penny
Recently my bank gave me some change that included a 1943 steel penny that looked copper. While it did stick to a magnet, it made a wondeful collection piece. For a few moments I thought I have a copper 1943 penny which is a very rare penny. Copper plating is easy, but glad to learn the nickle plating part. Thanks.
I specialize in plating, etc.....your Stainless spoon would need higher voltage, not so important the current...Try 12 or 24 V....It will get the job done...
Stainless already has nickel in it. Food grade 304 has two variants in the alloy. 18/10 and 18/8. The first number is the percentage of chromium, and the second is the percentage of nickel. (18% chromium and 10% nickel for example.) Even the, not so oxidant resistant, 18/0 still has 0.75% nickel.
First what type of salt are we talking about? Normal sodium chloride has a melting point of more than 800 degree celcius if the foundry can reach such heat casting with it might be possible
Stainless has a lot of chrome in it so you have one do a bit different process to plait it ,when I was a plating metal, we used a acid bath and high amps to plate the metal to start then in a low amp after ,the lower the amps the better it lays on the part. Thanks for showing us it was great to relive those days.
Woods nickel strike the Stainless teel first then copper plated, Woods nickel strike is 100% Nickel Chloride very acidic and will make stainless steel reactive to the nickel coating
That's interesting, I never considered that electroplating might not bond and could just be wiped off. However, now I'm wondering if this could be a new method of powder coating. That said, the two things that need to be plated are wire/electrical connections (or USB-C cables plated in gold), and heat sinks. Also, have you tried burnishing the electroplating (heating it)?
My chemistry teacher told me that Lithium Aluminum Hydride (LiAlH4) reacts violently with water and gives an explosive reaction. How about doing this experiment?
Khizir Farrukh LiAlH4 is pyrophoric (spontaneously combusts in air) so it’s extremely hard to handle and store as any moisture will likely react with it. If you want to see something v reactive on a video, try searching for “t-butyllithium” reacting
I think it would be cool to measure the continuity with an ohmmeter before and after the coatings on each item. I would love to see the differences in resistance if you ever end up doing this again.
Try cleaning surfaces with finger nail polish remover (Acetone) then alcohol. This system works well to clean surfaces for stickers or prep for paint. I use it in rc plane/car building. Works very well.
You can copper plate a piece of foil, but I don’t think there is a way that you will be able to just form copper in the jar without you forming it on something. You could possibly, however, melt down the pipe rather than using this method and kind of paint the copper onto wax paper or something. Paint very thinly, and then let it cool. (I have no idea if this will work, but it makes sense in my mind.)
Melted copper would just burn the wax paper. You have to roll out metal in order to make foil and it takes many, many passes with a ton of pressure to get it that thin.
I would like you to try making through-holes/vias on a circuit board (pcb). This means doing: Making a pcb from copper clad circuitboard with the drilling of the holes first. Then painting the holes with conductive ink. Then use your copper sulfate solution to copper plate the pcb (or the now conductive holes). Next make the rest of the pcb (toner transfer method or milling). When finished, plate all tracks and pads with nickel. Hope you will choose my idea! 😉
Go over to Cody's Lab. He has a whole series about metal mining and refining and a couple of the episodes are about extracting metals from computer scrap. There's a lot more to refining metals than just "throw it in somewhere hot".
you should invert the current for the spoon to make adhesion eating a bit of the metal before trying to put copper on it, also bending a curve to your anode so it could help the middle process, should look more like an S trying to keep a nearing point away from the edges. 2 anode will help having a stereo deposit and one in all coating.
Hunter Leeth I was about to say that because I wondering if I could do this but with aluminum so I can plate my 1920 wheat penny and sell it off as the rare aluminum wheat penny 😂. But the guys who check coins would probably be able to tell it's a fake haha.
I would love to see you trying to remove hard water spots from outdoor windows . I tried every single tip on the internet and every available product, with no success!
It would be cool, but bare copper is not recommended for prolonged skin contact. Also, it tarnishes very quickly and that tarnish can stain your skin green for a few days. A clear coat of some sort would deal with all of those issues though.
I have an experiment for King Of Random. Take the 2 jars: 1 nickel acetate and 1 copper sulfate and mix them together to make something multi-colored! I hope you guys do this activity I am a huge fan but never comment on one of your videos!!
carolyn mmitchell How can it make frozen SALT water? I am saying to react Sodium with Water in the presence of liquid nitrogen. Sodium + Water ---> Sodium Hydroxide, Not salt
hey TKOR you can do a kinda same experiment by heating a penny made from before 1981 and heat it for a certain amount of time you can make it brass(golden color) or get a new penny from now In days and heat it and it will turn a silver color
One thing that be cool to try is copper or nickel plating something like an egg, and then putting that in the vacuum chamber and seeing what happens. Maybe try a normal egg and a hard boiled? Maybe also an egg that’s sat out in vinegar and has no shell and bouncy?
Its really hard as the boiling point of hydrogen is -252°C or 423°F But still it may be possible with a vaccum chamber as we can make solid nitrogen inside it
Some mineral processing industries use a suspension of magnetite (FE3O4) powder in water as a "heavy medium" to separate less dense minerals from more dense ones. Magnetite for that purpose is sold by the truck load. With a few phone calls you would probably be able to buy a 50 lb sack of pulverized magnetite.
Try plating the little lead figurines that are used in gaming such as D&D or Warhammer. Maybe also some cheap jewelry. Someone else had great idea of bullet lead.
Can you try mixing molten aluminum and molten copper together and see if it is conductive enough to be plated? Or can you just make some different alloys using aluminum and other metals?
Hello Random Kings. I wanted to suggest an Idea for a plating project (I myself am new to plating so it might be completely useless). I know you tried casting some metal poke balls a while ago and I wanted to run this idea by you and perhaps give you an inspiration: Giving the metal poke balls some color by plating the top with copper and bottom with nickel or even leaving bottom as is. I am curious if it will even stick to the ones you made.
Might be a little late, but have you considered coating a pocket knife blade? I know a stainless steel blade wouldn’t work but a chrome vanadium maybe???
I would like to see a definitive demonstration of how to do ELECTROLYSIS for removing junk and gunk from metal. What solutions work best and the lower limit of current. Thanks
very nice vid buddy,,i am glad to see you using the fine steel wool as i am using this now to clean prep my parts then giving them a quick acid and water rinse before plating and it works where before i was failing,i cant believe how fast my dime turned to shiny copper where before it was going muddy and black and it wiped off easy,,learned alot every time
Wondering if you know If copper will adhere to steel header bolt. The reason I ask is because in the past my steel bolts welded themselves inside of my aluminum head. Hoping copper plating will eliminate the problem. 😊 TY kindly
I have been doing this for years. I use steel wool on a Dremel. By hand doesn't do it. Just puts scratches on the coin. Nothing works better for me. Don't even have to clean it other than rubbing with a qtip and iso. If it doesn't plate to your satisfaction. Hit with Dremel again and repeat process. Never had to do this more than 4 times. The plating has remained on the coins for years with no sign of wearing despite being handled over and over
It's most likely not the steel wool you're thinking of, like the scratchy kind that feels equivalent to 220 grit sand paper.. He's talking about the kind that's actually met for buffing and polishing, like 00 to 0000 grit (fine to super fine) ...i used to fabricate counter tops, the darker the surface, the easier it is to see ANY miniscule scratch.. If u don't have an MX pad on hand, steel wool is definitely your best bet for a shined surface
Turn a penny gold with NaOH, zinc, an evaporating dish, and a hot plate. NaOH and zinc go into the evaporating dish that goes on the hot plate. When it begins to boil stick the penny in the boiling mixture and watch it turn silver. Then, wash the silver penny off and put it directly onto the hot plate and watch it turn to a gold color. Finally, wash it off again and it will become a shinny gold color instantly. Very fun and satisfying and highly recommended. Have fun!
Hi King of Random can u guys try electroplating other metals on top of a casted gallium sculpture and then melt the gallium out to see if it leaves a hallow shell
You should take piece of copper, like a pipe or something and first coat it in nickel. Then copper. Then nickel. Then copper. Then nickel. Then copper. Then nickel. And so on, as many times as you'd like. Then you shuld try to sand down to the base layer on one spot. I think it would become a really cool effect. It might look like the topographical parts on the map or something like that! =D
So, I feel obligated to say if you can do this why not make a voltaic cell. Electroplating is very similar to making a voltaic cell. To make a primary voltaic cell you need copper(II)sulfate (aq), copper, zinc sulfate (aq), zinc, 2 non-metal containers, a tube to connect the solutions, cotton to plug the tube, and sodium chloride (aq). Fill the containers with the different sulfate solutions. Put each metal into the containers with their matching sulfates, copper with CuSO4 zinc with ZnSO4. Plug the tube ends with cotton and fill the tube with the sodium chloride solution. Connect the containers to the tube. Connect the metals with the wires and the reaction will begin. The copper (cathode) wants the electrons more than the zinc (anode) can hold on to them so the zinc loses its electrons 2 per atom to be exact creating a ZnSO4 with a +2 oxidation state the electrons transfer through the wire to the copper where they attach themselves to a CuSO4 and turning it into a Cu and a SO4.
Just a heads up for anyone who may do this - Make sure you are VERY careful when boiling distilled water as it can become superheated. (If agitated it could spontaneously boil and throw scalding water and steam on you.)... I say this from experience lol Make sure theres a nucleation site of some kind in the water before microwaving it. (A piece of wood, small pebble, anything.)
Certain processes are only suitable for certain materials, and certain materials can only be coated with certain processes. For example aluminum has a specific chromate conversion coating process, whereas you would zinc chromate steel. Even as someone who works in metal fabrication I’m still a novice in platings/coatings, it really is it’s own profession with its own expertise.
I've done this but I used actual 99.96 pure nickel plating electrode. My problem is that it seems to build up much to fast anymore. I'm not sure if it's because my solution has built up so much or because I tried to plate some speaker magnets however I dip my items to be plated in hydrochloric acid to clean them before plating as I've seen in other videos. I also used the vinegar solution to plate with copper and my items come out a solid deep but dull copper pink color. Still pretty cool.
If I want to nickel plate something that isn't already copper, can I copper plate it and then nickel plate it afterwards? Will it have the same effect, or will it have a completely different effect trying to make it that silver color?
Nate, for cheaper Nickel head to a local vape store. People who use temperature control in homemade vape coils use Ni-200 (pure nickel) and Ni-chrome wires (80% Nickel and 20% Chromium). Much cheaper than guitar strings.

I wanted you to do this small experiment.
Take three jars
Label them 1,2,3

Put water in those containers and then pressurize, vaccumize(if that's a word) and then put all the three containers in the freezer.
Then which one freezes faster and which one slower.
Explain in details
Thank you.
Like if you want him to do the experiment
Edit: you can replace water with other liquids to insight us more or for fun!
dhruv thakur I have seen you on
Action lab...
dhruv thakur higher pressure = longer, lower pressure = shorter
to much thing to read in this comment makes me feel dizzy.

I believe that there is only one 43 copper penny not accounted for.
Can you try extracing Mecury from fish?
iu6 is that a reference to chubbyemu?
ask codys lab
Youd need a lot of fish to do that... Also, CodysLab is planning to do it. Just wait for his video.
You know mercury is fish comes from water pollution.
iu6 Easily, induct variable current greater than 3 Amps in short term ionizing. Problem solved and fish kinda cooked.
I specialize in plating, etc.....your Stainless spoon would need higher voltage, not so important the current...Try 12 or 24 V....It will get the job done...
Theo T basically a car battery
carolyn mmitchell car battery's are 12volt DC
What? in electroplating the important thing is current density... what do you mean by higher voltage?
Despite the simple fact that Chromium doesn't like taking electroplating? I mean, it's stainless for a reason.
Stainless already has nickel in it. Food grade 304 has two variants in the alloy. 18/10 and 18/8. The first number is the percentage of chromium, and the second is the percentage of nickel. (18% chromium and 10% nickel for example.) Even the, not so oxidant resistant, 18/0 still has 0.75% nickel.
Take Grant's G19 slide. Sandblast it, copper plate it then nickel plate it. It Should look pretty cool.
Put them on ebay: "rare copper quarters".
🤣😂😄
Bruh.... I mean your not wrong not every day you see a copper quarter
It's theorized that Ancient Egyptions used a similar technique for electroplating. It's one of the theorized uses of the Baghdad Battery
Try melting salt in the trash can foundry and if you can try casting with it
Edward Phillips I don't think you can.its a crystal not a metal so it would default to a cube... It what salt crystal looks
No, you can melt and cast salt, it definitely doesn't just go into a cube lmao
First what type of salt are we talking about?
Normal sodium chloride has a melting point of more than 800 degree celcius
if the foundry can reach such heat casting with it might be possible
Leo Tan Tito4re did it in a foundry like grants
What We Made did what you are talking about
Try casting a sword with the metal foundary then copperplate
Edit: Thanks for all the suport
The Kid Wilderness that sounds sweet
I from Lithuania
Can you melt rock please … loved the ☝🏻video.
He already did headass
Inactive Wall don’t be a potheadass
Awesomeness Brahadhish how is this relevant to the conversation?
If u melt rock it's lava🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Awesomeness Brahadhish that would make lava. I thing thats a little bit dangerous

Lets do this!!!!!!!!! TKOR!
It would be cool if you took something that you cast in the metal foundry and then plated it. Just tie all the projects together.
I miss the old king of random.I miss the DIY!!!!!!
This is pretty DIY.
Mmmm this is a great way to make slurp juice
Just say you don’t like the new guy because this is diy lol
I think it would be cool to measure the continuity with an ohmmeter before and after the coatings on each item. I would love to see the differences in resistance if you ever end up doing this again.
A basic ohm meter won't be sensitive enough, a Wheatstone bridge might possibly.
Try cleaning surfaces with finger nail polish remover (Acetone) then alcohol. This system works well to clean surfaces for stickers or prep for paint. I use it in rc plane/car building. Works very well.
So in theory, I could make all my stainless steel look like gold 🤔🤔😂😂🙌🙌
Cody Whitlock but you'd need 10+ grams of gold
Cody Whitlock I
You’re just everywhere aren’t you?
You can do it in practical too.
And it's being done economically
Go visit Cody’s lab
Can you make a copper foil using this method?
You can copper plate a piece of foil, but I don’t think there is a way that you will be able to just form copper in the jar without you forming it on something. You could possibly, however, melt down the pipe rather than using this method and kind of paint the copper onto wax paper or something. Paint very thinly, and then let it cool. (I have no idea if this will work, but it makes sense in my mind.)
The copper would be way to thin, it's like nao scale depth, it's not enough to even hold together, I may be wrong but my experience's would say no
Copperplate a sheet of stainless steel, then peel off the copper. Keep the process going longer for thicker foil.
Melted copper would just burn the wax paper.
You have to roll out metal in order to make foil and it takes many, many passes with a ton of pressure to get it that thin.
Stainless steel resists staining? Mind Blown
I have this video saved and I will soon be using this nickel plating method to make cooling channels for a project I am beyond stoked
I would like you to try making through-holes/vias on a circuit board (pcb).
This means doing:
Making a pcb from copper clad circuitboard with the drilling of the holes first. Then painting the holes with conductive ink. Then use your copper sulfate solution to copper plate the pcb (or the now conductive holes). Next make the rest of the pcb (toner transfer method or milling). When finished, plate all tracks and pads with nickel.
Hope you will choose my idea! 😉
Pencil Eraser works best for buffing.
what about trying to extract gold from a computer or phone with the foundry. this would be cool if it worked.
Go over to Cody's Lab. He has a whole series about metal mining and refining and a couple of the episodes are about extracting metals from computer scrap. There's a lot more to refining metals than just "throw it in somewhere hot".
You should go to your local Walmart to see if their change machines pick up the currency width, or there metal makeing
Salute Blaster the width added on is probably not enough for the best micrometers to detect
you should invert the current for the spoon to make adhesion eating a bit of the metal before trying to put copper on it, also bending a curve to your anode so it could help the middle process, should look more like an S trying to keep a nearing point away from the edges. 2 anode will help having a stereo deposit and one in all coating.
@The King of Random read upward the message, would help
Would love to see some old tools restored and nickle plated.
You guys should try anodizing aluminum!
Hunter Leeth I was about to say that because I wondering if I could do this but with aluminum so I can plate my 1920 wheat penny and sell it off as the rare aluminum wheat penny 😂. But the guys who check coins would probably be able to tell it's a fake haha.
Michelle Millet if you've ever held an aluminum coin you know they are so light they feel like plastic
Also anodizing isn't aluminum plating. It is a controlled oxidizing of the aluminum. It creates an extremely tough surface on the aluminum
Maas Morin never held one but I found a 2k copper wheat penny today lol
Do a video on chrome plating🤔
Chrome plating is expensive and far harder. I doubt this would ever happen.
Instead of Nickel wire he can use Cobalt, cobalt has a bluish tint that is very close to real chrome
Is this what they were talking about when they said alchemy?
I would love to see you trying to remove hard water spots from outdoor windows . I tried every single tip on the internet and every available product, with no success!
If your silver medal put to the experiment, you'll get a bronze medal.
Can you show us how to Gold Plate things ? A Gold Nail would be cool !!!
Brandon Allen same thing as what he is doing here just with a scrap piece of gold
Gypsy TV and you need aqua regia
Codys lab did that
You know how some wrist watches are gold plated. Wouldn't it be cool to take a cheap watch and plate the metal parts with copper?
It would be cool, but bare copper is not recommended for prolonged skin contact. Also, it tarnishes very quickly and that tarnish can stain your skin green for a few days. A clear coat of some sort would deal with all of those issues though.
Can you do this with gun shells ?
Kjell Bjorge that would look awesome. Also i don't see why not.
yes FMJ rounds are made like this
This is clever. When you fight vampires just silver plate the bullets
I wouldn't mess with the brass shells. It could make them more brittle and cause them to split when fired.
Yes Speer actually copper plates there hallow point bullets to jacket them.
Now that you've tried this, can you try anodizing other colors onto metal? Like a nice royal blue or purple?
I have an experiment for King Of Random. Take the 2 jars: 1 nickel acetate and 1 copper sulfate and mix them together to make something multi-colored! I hope you guys do this activity I am a huge fan but never comment on one of your videos!!
Will Sodium + Liquid Nitrogen react with water?
Khizir Farrukh basically it would make frozen salt water
carolyn mmitchell How can it make frozen SALT water? I am saying to react Sodium with Water in the presence of liquid nitrogen. Sodium + Water ---> Sodium Hydroxide, Not salt
Amazing, now do it with Gold!
cody's lab did that
Heh AC/DC
I love your vids by the way! :).
Heh Nickelback
How many bands are in this video?
hey TKOR you can do a kinda same experiment by heating a penny made from before 1981 and heat it for a certain amount of time you can make it brass(golden color) or get a new penny from now In days and heat it and it will turn a silver color
One thing that be cool to try is copper or nickel plating something like an egg, and then putting that in the vacuum chamber and seeing what happens. Maybe try a normal egg and a hard boiled? Maybe also an egg that’s sat out in vinegar and has no shell and bouncy?
Copper plate your gold play button
rip playbutton
Please make liquid hydrogen
Benny Paulose that's hard to do ya know
Elijah Wolf noice
Its really hard as the boiling point of hydrogen is -252°C or 423°F
But still it may be possible with a vaccum chamber as we can make solid nitrogen inside it
geetesh sonwani you mean negative
Thomas Glfs yup
That's a redox reaction,right? Because the copper solution gains electrons to turn from ions to atoms,hence from aqueous to solid
Some mineral processing industries use a suspension of magnetite (FE3O4) powder in water as a "heavy medium" to separate less dense minerals from more dense ones.

Now try to pay someone with a copper plated quarter.
What happens to diesel fuel if you mix it with sulfuric acid.
It farts
I just pooped
You get an acidic solvent. I even doubt that they would bond at all.
Nuclear_ Nube your mother bonds
Something about Nate is off......
👇 if you noticed too
Hairyicejuice I know he seems so monotone and has no enthusiasm I noticed this in another video
Yea it’s kinda weird, Nate is so different from how he films nowadays
You need something called Steele activator for copper to stick to Steele. It's like a layer between the 2 metals to help it bond.
You can make a copper colored quarter by heating it up with a torch and dipping it in heat.. it is gas line antifreeze in a yellow bottle
Try pouring molten any metal into liquid nitrogen and pouring liquid nitrogen into the molten metal when it is still in the foundry
You should copper coat the blade of a pocket knife
Jacob Reid I've done an exacto blade at work, it's the knife I use daily
Now the quarter is worth 25c!
BUT A QUARTER IS 25 CENTS
A quarter is 25c😂
True tlh
r/woooosh
Wait
Can you try mixing molten aluminum and molten copper together and see if it is conductive enough to be plated? Or can you just make some different alloys using aluminum and other metals?

How about plating some fruit?
Fruit isnt metal
But some fruits have iron in it 😂😂
...
Aah am gonna make some gold plated banana
“mummy can I have a silver plated apple for my lunch?”
Make copper sulfate
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming ight bet dawg
a-lpha of Zeldaforme Gaming easy. Just dissolve copper in sulfuric acid.
The concentrated one
3.14159265358979323846264338327950288 ok, fine. Add hydrogen peroxide to it first.
Did someone say pie
Nah bro you just made a slurp juice
Chandler Seita yeah lmao
Might be a little late, but have you considered coating a pocket knife blade? I know a stainless steel blade wouldn’t work but a chrome vanadium maybe???
I would like to see a definitive demonstration of how to do ELECTROLYSIS for removing junk and gunk from metal. What solutions work best and the lower limit of current. Thanks
Can you try this with 9 or 24K Gold?
Why specifically those karats? What about 6? 10? 12? 16? 20? lmao
You should see if they work in vending machines
Vending machines use the ridges/size as a guide. They don't care what color the coin is.
First Comment and then watch
very nice vid buddy,,i am glad to see you using the fine steel wool as i am using this now to clean prep my parts then giving them a quick acid and water rinse before plating and it works where before i was failing,i cant believe how fast my dime turned to shiny copper where before it was going muddy and black and it wiped off easy,,learned alot every time
Hay,
Can you metal plate plastic?
Doing copper first then chrome or nickel?
It is impossible because plastic is bad conducter of electricity
Plate the end of a USB drive in copper
It wouldn't work
Leopard Mechanic you'd short the hard drive inside
i never said we should use it again im just saying it will look cool
Do it with Keys!
Can electricity light gas on fire?
Absolutely
derp
yes
Ofcourse, an electric arq can be something like 2000 degrees celcius
Durps
Have you guys done zinc plating aluminum with all different colors? Might be cool to cast something in aluminum, clean it up then zinc plate it.
Wondering if you know
If copper will adhere to steel header bolt.
The reason I ask is because in the past my steel bolts welded themselves inside of my aluminum head.
Hoping copper plating will eliminate the problem.
😊 TY kindly

Lol I was about to comment that 😆
You got ten seconds to run.
This should be titled "how to make metal currency even more wasteful!"
Buff it with steel wool?? Are you kidding lol??
I have been doing this for years. I use steel wool on a Dremel. By hand doesn't do it. Just puts scratches on the coin. Nothing works better for me. Don't even have to clean it other than rubbing with a qtip and iso. If it doesn't plate to your satisfaction. Hit with Dremel again and repeat process. Never had to do this more than 4 times. The plating has remained on the coins for years with no sign of wearing despite being handled over and over
It's most likely not the steel wool you're thinking of, like the scratchy kind that feels equivalent to 220 grit sand paper.. He's talking about the kind that's actually met for buffing and polishing, like 00 to 0000 grit (fine to super fine) ...i used to fabricate counter tops, the darker the surface, the easier it is to see ANY miniscule scratch.. If u don't have an MX pad on hand, steel wool is definitely your best bet for a shined surface
Turn a penny gold with NaOH, zinc, an evaporating dish, and a hot plate. NaOH and zinc go into the evaporating dish that goes on the hot plate. When it begins to boil stick the penny in the boiling mixture and watch it turn silver. Then, wash the silver penny off and put it directly onto the hot plate and watch it turn to a gold color. Finally, wash it off again and it will become a shinny gold color instantly. Very fun and satisfying and highly recommended. Have fun!
Hi King of Random can u guys try electroplating other metals on top of a casted gallium sculpture and then melt the gallium out to see if it leaves a hallow shell
Pls do not do this around kids because they will think that blue liquid is slurp juice
Can you use electrical tape to mask off certain parts of the steel and electroplate a design onto the steel?
yes, but not necessarily electric tape. Other tapes might work better by sticking better to the metal while submerged.
You should take piece of copper, like a pipe or something and first coat it in nickel.
Then copper.
Then nickel.
Then copper.
Then nickel.
Then copper.
Then nickel.
And so on, as many times as you'd like. Then you shuld try to sand down to the base layer on one spot. I think it would become a really cool effect. It might look like the topographical parts on the map or something like that! =D
Would you be able to make a video on how well copper or aluminum would work with putting it overtop something glass?
I'd love to see you plate a plastic 3D print or any other plastic item
That’s... not how it works...
So, I feel obligated to say if you can do this why not make a voltaic cell. Electroplating is very similar to making a voltaic cell. To make a primary voltaic cell you need copper(II)sulfate (aq), copper, zinc sulfate (aq), zinc, 2 non-metal containers, a tube to connect the solutions, cotton to plug the tube, and sodium chloride (aq). Fill the containers with the different sulfate solutions. Put each metal into the containers with their matching sulfates, copper with CuSO4 zinc with ZnSO4. Plug the tube ends with cotton and fill the tube with the sodium chloride solution. Connect the containers to the tube. Connect the metals with the wires and the reaction will begin. The copper (cathode) wants the electrons more than the zinc (anode) can hold on to them so the zinc loses its electrons 2 per atom to be exact creating a ZnSO4 with a +2 oxidation state the electrons transfer through the wire to the copper where they attach themselves to a CuSO4 and turning it into a Cu and a SO4.
Just a heads up for anyone who may do this - Make sure you are VERY careful when boiling distilled water as it can become superheated. (If agitated it could spontaneously boil and throw scalding water and steam on you.)... I say this from experience lol Make sure theres a nucleation site of some kind in the water before microwaving it. (A piece of wood, small pebble, anything.)
the best thing I have found for polishing is car polish you can get it in different grit even supper fine the swirl mark remover
I'm so mesmerized by those automatic wire cutters, and I want to know where I can buy my own!
ebay
You should make metal guitar picks and plate them in nickel or copper to see if they effect the conductive properties of the pick-ups.
Certain processes are only suitable for certain materials, and certain materials can only be coated with certain processes. For example aluminum has a specific chromate conversion coating process, whereas you would zinc chromate steel. Even as someone who works in metal fabrication I’m still a novice in platings/coatings, it really is it’s own profession with its own expertise.
i think liquid sand would be an awesome experiment to show it looks so cool. you should check it out.
try attaching lighter flints at the tip of an arrow and shoot it to see if a huge impact against a flat surface can create a bigger explosion
@thekingofrandom i actually nickle plating try boiling it on atleast 186 to 190 degrees add ammonia to keep the ph up
I've done this but I used actual 99.96 pure nickel plating electrode. My problem is that it seems to build up much to fast anymore. I'm not sure if it's because my solution has built up so much or because I tried to plate some speaker magnets however I dip my items to be plated in hydrochloric acid to clean them before plating as I've seen in other videos. I also used the vinegar solution to plate with copper and my items come out a solid deep but dull copper pink color. Still pretty cool.
Would adding magnesium powder to thermite cause it to ignite quicker?
If I want to nickel plate something that isn't already copper, can I copper plate it and then nickel plate it afterwards? Will it have the same effect, or will it have a completely different effect trying to make it that silver color?
hey guys! now I want to see the cristals you get by letting the water evaporate... and maybe the vinegar too?
what do you think?
One reason why this video is fun im interested in electroplating and that's kinda cool
Nate, for cheaper Nickel head to a local vape store. People who use temperature control in homemade vape coils use Ni-200 (pure nickel) and Ni-chrome wires (80% Nickel and 20% Chromium). Much cheaper than guitar strings.
