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!
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.
dhruv thakur )
engrish
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 !
GLD_AV3NG3R COD and Fun Thanks man ! Hope it someday gets to the eyes of TKOR.
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.
Take Grant's G19 slide. Sandblast it, copper plate it then nickel plate it. It Should look pretty cool.
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.
It's theorized that Ancient Egyptions used a similar technique for electroplating. It's one of the theorized uses of the Baghdad Battery
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 believe that there is only one 43 copper penny not accounted for.
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
Thanks guys it helped in my studies. ❤️
Thanks! I will likely use this method in the future. So many great ideas in one location!
bro this is amazing I was awed!!
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
Put them on ebay: "rare copper quarters".
🤣😂😄
Bruh.... I mean your not wrong not every day you see a copper quarter
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
Cool experiment I learned a lot thanks 😊 peace from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
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
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.
very helpful video from start to finish!
Great video!
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.
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
Lets do this!!!!!!!!! TKOR!
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
This is so amazing!
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
Stainless steel resists staining? Mind Blown
Cool! I was actually want to know how to electroplate stuff. Lol thanks
If your silver medal put to the experiment, you'll get a bronze medal.
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
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
that was super cool :D
Oh cool, it’s nice to see the activity series have some uses. Like for fun..
Pencil Eraser works best for buffing.
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
thanks for the random knowledge
One reason why this video is fun im interested in electroplating and that's kinda cool
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
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.
this is interesting information. I will try to collect materials and try it at home
Mind Blown 🤯
Heh AC/DC
I love your vids by the way! :).
Heh Nickelback
How many bands are in this video?
Now try to pay someone with a copper plated quarter.
Works perfect. I did the same deal and it works out
You guys make science look awesome 😎
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
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".
Awesome!!
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
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
Amazing, now do it with Gold!
cody's lab did that
well done will try this out on my motorcycle nuts and bolts thanks
Would love to see some old tools restored and nickle plated.
Is this what they were talking about when they said alchemy?
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.
i like your all experiment
2:54 "DAWN HELPS SAVE WILDLIFE"
Like those DUCKIES!!!!
Copper plate your gold play button
rip playbutton
That's a redox reaction,right? Because the copper solution gains electrons to turn from ions to atoms,hence from aqueous to solid
13:57 , my favourite band
I have been looking for this since I found it on Cody’s Lab
(Even though it might not work on gold, it’s still a start)
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
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
Great content. Can you do something more complex, like silver plating on the copper things?
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 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
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.
I've learned alot of this
Wow.....very interesting.....id like to see a Damascus knife plated in copper.....you won my subscription!!....thnx for the great informative video......it is extremely helpful!!
Try pouring molten any metal into liquid nitrogen and pouring liquid nitrogen into the molten metal when it is still in the foundry
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
I have watched your all video
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.
Can we use 9volt battery instead of old charger???
rocky hudson yes
I dunno
i tried it a few years ago (with copper sulfate), and it works.
However, they are too weak for the second method
First Comment and then watch
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!
Fantastic
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
I want to see you freeze bubbles with liquid nitrogen or maby it would work with dry ice🤔
I think they've done that before
Gracie Mccall you cant freeze bubbles. They are air pockets
Gracie Mccall no, ni it won't. Common sense
Copper plate a TH-cam gold play button!
I'd love to see you plate a plastic 3D print or any other plastic item
That’s... not how it works...
Do it with Keys!
Can you try this with 9 or 24K Gold?
Why specifically those karats? What about 6? 10? 12? 16? 20? lmao
Take and copper plate one of the casted Master Swords you guys made. That would look wicked awesome!
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.
1,2,3....
*10*
LOL
11,12,13
14,15,16
*20*
Lol I was about to comment that 😆
You got ten seconds to run.
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.
Plate a bicicle frame! It looks cool!
That's so cool
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?”
Now the quarter is worth 25c!
BUT A QUARTER IS 25 CENTS
A quarter is 25c😂
True tlh
r/woooosh
Wait
I actually try this it totally works
Depending on how the TH-cam playbuttons are made, it would be really cool to see one of those plated!
Nah bro you just made a slurp juice
Chandler Seita yeah lmao
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
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
Counting with Nate!
1, 2, 3...
9, 10!
Can electricity light gas on fire?
Absolutely
derp
yes
Ofcourse, an electric arq can be something like 2000 degrees celcius
Durps
This should be titled "how to make metal currency even more wasteful!"
i think liquid sand would be an awesome experiment to show it looks so cool. you should check it out.
I used to do gold plating. had fun plating quarters. Sometimes do it at a gold show so people could see - then sell them for $2 ea.
