How to make carbon nanotubules at home with a microwave

- This is something i have been thinking about doing for a while. It seemed to work but see if I really made carbon nanotubules you'd really have to do a bit more investigation - Any how it certainly was interesting. Materials I have developed since this very old video are available at our webshop at www.workingink.co.uk.

You have most likely produced some few layer graphene/Iron (III) chloride intercalated compounds here. I use a similar recipe to make graphene, but instead of using a microwave you can dehydrate the sample and then exfoliate it in hydrogen peroxide solution, dehydrate and repeat a few times to get just a few layers of graphene.
Have you heard of damascus steel? It is wet crumbled iron mixed with finely chopped plant material and covered with clay and cooked into steel. The strength is mythical and they recently found it contained nanotubes from a thousand years ago! The wood must contain polyphenols and obviously carbon. And the iron is the catalyst and allows you to reach extreme temperatures without it boiling.
" A research team in Germany published a report in 2006 revealing nanowires and carbon nanotubes in a blade forged from Damascus steel.[5] This finding was covered by National Geographic[6] and the New York Times.[7] Although certain types of modern steel outperform these swords, chemical reactions in the production process made the blades extraordinary for their time, as damascus steel was superplastic and very hard at the same time. During the smelting process to obtain Wootz steel ingots, woody biomass and leaves are known to have been used as carburizing additives along with certain specific types of iron rich in microalloying elements. These ingots would then be further forged and worked into Damascus steel blades, and research now shows that carbon nanotubes can be derived from plant fibers,[8] suggesting how the nanotubes were formed in the steel."
Yeah? That's quite the fantastical theory. Do your homework.
Great video! I look forward to you future endeavors!
Now that it’s been 8 years, have you come up with any better methods for this? It sounds like you don’t know if it’s actual carbon nanotubes or not. I know this is an old video but I hope you see this comment. If you do have more ideas on it, can you make a video about it?
yes re try this vid pls would be cool to see what you can do or try with it now
I'm glad that this video has actual science unlike most with titles like this thx for the awesome video
So I watched it again and I'm not convinced anymore. How do we know the heat didn't just kick the polyphenols off the iron and destroy them? Also even if there is carbon on the iron how do we know that it isn't just the iron in solution still conducting? Could you show me some papers that would lead one to believe nanotubes were formed in a procedure like this?
Interesting, very interesting. Thanks for the video.
I checked out your video on crystal batteries - and like all good work it set me thinking - there is just so much to do - the world is truely a fascinating place - i reacently got some sodium silicate for another experiment and i have a fair bit kicking around so I will try some of your ideas and let you know how i get on. At them moment i am working on a cheap and easy way to get graphene so i hope to mix the two. This started because i was looking at conductive inks to make an energy collector
Bruh
The black carbon nanotubes are in masks also ? How to get ride of it when are inspire in our bodies ? thanks
brother audio needs nanotubes to help it .
watch this th-cam.com/video/O6ZsqFWXOaA/w-d-xo.html
I agree. Not enough people read the comments. They are just heaving with good ideas
these are the guys i want in my lab. lots of good ideas in the comments.
1:32 is what ya looking for
Hi Robert, i am back to watching most of your video's again LoL
could you tell me if adding the tea and iron 3 mix to the carbon mix is actually doping ?
regards kev.
i think the iron is catalytic for the formation mate
one of your older vids i missed, while the audio is much degraded/less well recorded, love finding new things. just been playing with carbon nano dots. made with urea, cirtric acid, and water in a microwave. now i need to find my volt meter and see if they are conductive. and how they dry out.
Cheers mate but I solved this problem by buying a new camera and microphone lol
I looked at the video - which I liked - a lot and I have added replicating it to my 'to do' list. At the moment I am trying to come up with an easy way for people to make graphene at home. The production methods are quick but the collection methods are slow. Mostly because of my limited equipment. but thanks for your comments and i will keep on working on it.
i am having lots of audio problems that i am trying to fix - i thought i had but i am sorry - i seem to have made it worse - when i play it back on my ipad it is terrible - it's ok on my pc and fine in my video editor - I will keep trying to get it right.
Good lord that audio is the worst I have quite a lot of audio problems but I thought I had fixed it - it would seem not - I'll try and something about this
Wow the carbon nanotube are no joke, but from tea, laymen would be baffled
I once tried to mix carbon with Iron nanoparticles. As soon as the dry mixture was exposed to air, the iron rapidly oxidized and got so hot it burned off the carbon.
great vid.
+Patrick Tien cheers mate
Take your sample to a lab that has an electron microscope. You will be able to see exactly what you have made. Great video keep up the good work.
one day maybe lol
That's a great experiment may you write steps cuz no matter how many times I see this video .. I still can't hear the words clearly... but I need it fast please
Sorry for commenting on such an old video and hopefully I am able to get a response from you, but at 6:35 in your video you mention that you mixed the carbon substance you created with a "Ball" metal?(sorry if I heard it incorrectly, but I'm curious to try this experiment and want to make sure that I am using the correct materials).
Never mind I figured it out through subtitles, Great video, Cheers!
ball mill mate - normally i use zirconium balls to help prevent contamination
lol - awesome - cheers
Can we get an ingredients list?
can you make carbon nanotubes from graphite? (a form of carbon) I researched that they make a pencil lead out of graphite.
but can u suggest me any particular field please ?
Amazing.
Has there been any confirmation on the actual formation of nanotubules since this video was uploaded?
+ItsScienceDude no mate - it's an old vid and i am thinking about revisiting it when i get time
One of my favorite experiments (acid+sugar)...of course doing this as a kid...without knowing what was going on (before taking any chemistry courses)
it's an impressive demo mate lol
Back in uni, I would "smuggle" small amounts of Sulfuric acid and Alkali metals. Now I have my own collection/stock of chemicals. I wish could experiment with superacids, but I would be wasting it on insignificant reactions.
i don't know mate - sometimes it is just fun lol
2013 and this guy couldn't find a decent camera???
nope i couldn't - it was a bit of fun and got better
It got MUCH bettah ;)
lol - cheers mate
thank you so much best wishes
cheers mate
Excellent
Do you think one could add more water and make the film transparant and stil conducting?
It would certainly be something to try
Could you use kapton tape ?
hello, I don't know nothing from all this but is interesting.just i want to be free from all systems control as,and now i make plans for my new house from the earth to have free energy.you make very good work to show the people how you working for free energy,thank you. and I want ask something. can we use also rod carbon from old bateries to make experiments and take graphene? (sorry for my english is pure)
you can use it but your results will be poor - like anything you get better results the better your materials
Robert Murray-Smith thank you sir..I wish every good for you..keep walking!!!
cheers mate
yeah why not - sounds good.
I tried this in my microwave and now it's totally tubular.
this video is not clear,please can you write down what you did it in this video and about the washing the cnt how can i filtrate the solution in order to get solid cnt
+azhar kamel no mate - i am sorry - i am not likely to do that - it is an old video and if i get time i will revisit it
the sticky side was never conductive. The film was always conductive only on one side.
It seems it is iron tannate not carbon nanoparticles or any other nanoparticles. Tannic acid in the green tea complexes with iron and gives and bluish black colour
ok - cheers
@@ThinkingandTinkering why would so.eone go out of they're way to discourage🤔maybe protecting the idea for themselves. It's a sign you are on the right track the more fuss they make. Otherwise there wouldn't be so much attention paid. Thanks for the reassurance.
sir I am a new student in nanotehnology I want to choose something interesting in project will u please guide me I have done hons in physics .thank
+Rizwan Sohail I am sorry mate but you need to speak to your professor for that
Any idea where I could get this in bulk I'm thinking about making a body armor jacket that's flexible and lightweight.
quite a few companies sell it try ashbury carbons - i warn you it is expensive
You definitely don't want to do this for a armor project. They sell cnt epoxy resin for people to use. I'm pretty sure this did not make cnts, they aren't red.
jordan secrist you are quite right mate they are black but there is more in there than cnts - there is iron and tea nad that will be the reason for the colour - but if you look at the research you will see using iron nanoparticles to grow cnts in hydrothermal conditions is pretty standard - there are bound to be cnts in there - but getting them out is going to be a challenge
I commend you for your work sir
jordan secrist cheers mate
recording with very high volume =clipping.[ cutting the voice waves.]
make it with lower volume control.
go-volume control [ on the pc bottom line ] or [ control panel ] and adjust output volume.
Hi mate , if you trying approve that using SEM that would be great
the minute i get a SEM mate
My friend I don't think you are Making Carbon Nano Anything. No Offense You said it Was interesting (which IS TRUE) and You wanted More answers I think I can Help.
I Think; that when you Turned the iron chloride in the Iron Solution Black (Like Iron(II) Oxide); THAT was Iron Oxide Nano Particles I say so because it looks Just like the Sol-gel Process for making Thermate (a nastier Thermite) I is offen refered to as "Nano-thermite" Because it is composed of Nano Particles of the aluminum and Iron oxide, which (Predictably) increases their surface area and Rate of Reaction.
Anyway Iron Oxide Particles that's What You Made. I THINK. That is why it changed color from Black to Red in contact with air you turned you iron(II) Oxide (Which is Black) into Iron (III) Oxide (Which is RED).
Anyway Still Very Interesting I'll still Sub and Thumb up you
cheers mate
Would it be possible to use those Nanotubes using the recipe you laid out, as a power source?
well you could - but you would have to make the support structure too and that is by no means simple
Robert Murray-Smith
So in layman's terms you'd need to build something to contain and conduct it?
Shanethefilmmaker
sort of - it's a bit more like saying aluminium is good for making an engine - you still need to form it to make it work as an engine and it's more like that
Of course. I'm guessing the complicated part both the materials required and the way to shape it?
Shanethefilmmaker
yeah
Have you figured it out by now, if your hypothesis is true or false?
was curious about solar panels earlier, so i looked up how they worked, and than i read about how it uses silicon(as i understand it, atleast partly because of high conductivity). And than i remembered a random thing i read a few months ago about graphene and how its crazy conductive.
So now i really wish i knew more about chemistry so i could try making carbon nano structure based photo-voltaic panels. I have this hunch that it would do something.
What do you think?
it makes a ig difference mate - i use graphene in some of my solar cells
woot, . Maybe some day after i finish my comp-sci bachelors degree ill get a chem degree. I want to know how this stuff works.
Sean Halnon go for it mate - chemistry rocks lol
You can use tannic acid to reduce the Iron.
+gout cure yep - and tea - but i guess that's the same thing really
2:10 - Are you saying "orphans" in the green tea?
no
Thanks, thought it may have been slang for the stray electrons in a reducing agent
Can u tell me how to make nano crystal plz sir I want to do a experiment
the sound is not clear, i can barely understand what you say
it was an early vid - I have replaced the equipment - later vids are better
so do you have an earlier vid? with clear voice
medo sam no - later vids have clear voice and I haven't revisited this yet
ok
Robert Murray-Smith revisit it soon
I just used electrolyte from old calcium lead battery and put it to the sugar (old) ..but i did not see any reaction. ..i do not get it years before i used same sugar and other lead acid battery electrolyte and there was well kind of reaction.
Thanx anyway cheers, ike from holland.
Dear Sir , Thanks for your efforts but how in your mind solve sound problem ?
listen through one channel - I have since bought better equipment
May you provide me its like pls .
Thanks for reply .
Ahmed Sabah huh?
i got one better to make a carbon microprocessor use photosensitive paint with carbon (mixed and put in the processor then use light that reflects from the carbon and then let it heal and the remove layers with scotch tape or rinse and then test and use scotch tape if you find errors.
thank mr robert for this video but l hop you make a new video and make it clear because the voice its not good enough and I hop that you make all the steps clear thank you so much
later videos are much clearer in audio mate
What happened to the sound? A fan going nearby?
old vid so yes
what is zero peloton
The quality of this video is horrible. Is there another link to this video that isn't messednit. The audio is scrambled.
listen through one channel - can't remember which one - it was an early vid audio gets better in later vids - ihaven't taken it down because it is popular
robert murray-smith
robert murray-smith I absolutely love the idea that's why I was hoping you had re-recorded it or would. My son and I duplicate a lot of your videos and absolutely love following you channel thank you very much.
cmwatcds1
i will look at this again for you and redo - though the method might be different
what can be some of the uses of this?
well you could try transparent conductive films - so touchscreens, solar cells - or supercapacitors, or batteries, or add it to plastics to make them conductive or improve their strength or a whole load of things - try a google search and you will come up with tons of uses
Oh yeah you cant forget super cables, smart materials, and artificial muscles. :)
have you tried chicken feathers for nano tubes?
+Macro Engineering no i haven't but i have heard about that
I will work on it and will upload result in few days hopefully.
+Macro Engineering cool mate - give me a heads up will you?
the sticky side became conductive because you cooked off most of the sticky shit.
I don't understanded what did the green tea actualy do?
reduced and capped the copper
+Robert Murray-Smith what does that mean exactly?
the copper is in plus 2 valence state - the tea takes it to zero valent it also scavenges excess oxygen in the water and surrounds the zero valent copper to prevent re oxidation
sounds like an alien…..
is multimeter at 20k or 200k ohm
harpreet singh 20k i think - but i made this a couple of years ago
hi sir ya actually i was trying to make ink to make flexible remote control but not able to make ink which is durable as all mixtures tried till know get cracked after 30-40 clicks
harpreet singh you need to look at your binder system mate
can u suggest some binders which i can try out
harpreet singh there are just loads of them - PU, PVP, CMC, PVDF, PTFE, PVAc, PVA, etc etc etc - read up on binders
WOW can i hav the recipe?? how bout making damascus steel at home??
the recipe is in the vid?
thanks., looking forward to more experiment about carbon nanotubes at home. :D and have you confirmed if they are really carbon nanotubes yet.? THANKS.!!!!
Tea?? Are you making an "Improbably Drive" or Nano Tubes? :-)
infinite improbability drive definitely mate lol
7:27 middle fingers
omg the quality video hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!?!?!?!?!?!?!
fix your audio?
wait. Carbon NOT Conductive? and WHAT pray tell, type of Carbon it THAT? Amorphous simply mean without shape
it's just a short hand to allotrope naming and conductivity is a degree - at a high enough voltage everything conducts
OK Fair enough
My. Ears.
how can you make nano fiber?
what kind of nanofibre mate?
strings? /watch?v=4XDJC64tDR0
of what material mate - carbon? transition metal oxides? cellulose? - you can make a nanofibre of anything
carbon.. i guess.. cause its abundant never heard about metal oxides.. or cellulose.. i mean can they form solid metal oxides and cellulose.. i want to see how it turn into strings..
here's a video showing you how they make them th-cam.com/video/9SfnSEYmmms/w-d-xo.html
why upload incomprehensible audio ---- just desperate to see his face onscreen or summat??
yep - just love looking at myself - it's rampant narcissism and nothing else - I am frequently amazed anyone else watches it and even more amazed when someone bothers to comment - I guess you have very little else to do in a day - awesome
You might consider submitting your work to JOVE (www.jove.com/)
+Alvin Orbaek White at $2,400 per submission - probably not - but nice idea mate
isn't clear !!!!!!
+lili phy it's an old vid - i will redo
i have a better idea - you e-mail me - robertmurraysmith64@gmail.com
