Exactly what I came to comment pennies are made from zinc nowadays cuz it's cheaper than copper

The copper lining would contain it unless your hole is further down large etc. Ive dissolved the zinc leaves a copper shell that's actually well able to hold its shape

​​@@kashr6862! 😂 they are made from zinc with a copper cladding. Much thicker then plating.

They're still copper plated, which is what's oxidizing

@@yooowhatupribs he's referring to the zinc melting out the hole drilled. Plus the Plating wouldn't keep heat or react exactly like copper. Otherwise they'd just plate or clad other Metals for power lines vs expensive copper. They sometimes use aluminum but never for houses business etc. As they once did and discovered the al actually gains tension aka shrinking w voltage over time. Loosening from fixtures. You can plan around it to a degree like larger wire means less shrinking per volt. But it's still a copper is king kind of industry. Notice the ground cables aren't ever copper on power lines. Good stainless or galvanized steel will work.

Dang it, I wanted to use this to heat mah tent safely with no open flame while camping... just say no to deth via toxic fumes.

Why not just do in it a well vented area and not hover your face over it? Everyone knows some type of fumes happens when heating anything up let alone heat and something that is already not good for us as it is. Then again, too much of anything is bad for us.

@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris One-half of a drop of acetone catalyzed with copper inside of a two-person tent is considered by the CDC to be "Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health". Toxic doesn't mean "it's not good for you", it means that every bit of it tries to kill you. If you operate such a "stove" with ventilation sufficient to be safe, then you won't be able to derive any benefit from the stove aside from direct radiation; you can't heat a tent or the like. Of course, do what you wish, but you may want to look into it a little more deeply before deciding that your rationalization is a closer reflection of reality than the warnings of the NIH (who operate the NLM) indicate. To reinforce the danger of ketene, consider that the currently accepted level of ketene concentration considered to be Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH), according to the CDC, is 5 parts per million. That level would be reached if you were to catalyze one-seventh of a gram (0.1429 g) of acetone inside of a 4x4.5x7 foot tent; the whole penny would likely be disastrous to anyone in that space. This works out to about a half-drop of acetone conversion causing an IDLH event. I don't know the mechanism of action of ketene upon the body, but I'll take the expert's opinions regarding exposure and toxicity.

Yep, 1982 pennies were the last year they were made with mostly copper.

@@SilntObsvr Don't worry. He will spend a lot of time collecting a bucks worth of pennies only to find out they're no longer made out of copper. So when he starts trying to make them turn red, they will suddenly disappear.

Assuming breathing acetone fumes all day is a side effect you enjoy this is actually much safer than burning candles in a cardboard box. The hot copper is catalysing oxidation but with no open flame. Spilling it would only create spilled acetone. Which would feel very cold on a cold night and you might consider setting yourself alight to stay warm

Would a copper coil be just as effective?

@@oddlyspecificmath Yes. Reasonably clean solid copper wire actually works a little better (pure copper instead of 25% nickel) and you can bend in any shape you like before heating.

Would a copper plated steel penny work? I was trying to read the date before I noticed that it wasn't a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the penny.

@@TimothyEBaldwin Copper plated steel at least won't melt before it gets red hot. It seems like it ought to work, but how long the plating will last is the question. Copper plating is typically thin (cheaper that way), and the oxide that forms at high temperature isn't as well bonded to the base metal as the plating is; eventually the plating will be fully oxidized and will flake off, leaving you with (rusty, by that time) steel that won't catalyze the acetone oxidation.

Would a space heater work?

This is true. Some are bronze, and others are copper-plated zinc. The change-over was in 1982.

Same principal as a catalytic converter in a car. There are some old lighters that just use a wire to ignite a gas or wick. I think its platinum wire.

So would acetone work better than lighter fluid?

@@Will-pi6gn I guess it would depend on the metal. Lighter fluid is naphtha, so I'd imagine any hydrocarbon would work to different degrees.

Excellent user name, Bilb. Rats off to ya!

Nope, as long as the penny is coated with a thin layer of Cu, it will work. It's just a catalyst, no Cu is consumed.

You caused me to look up catalyst. Thanks @@alexandrevaliquette3883

nope, itll work in 2023

It will work with newer pennies (their surface IS still copper) but IT'S VERY DANGEROUS!. Pennies after 1982 have zinc inside a thin copper shell. Zinc has a much lower melting point than copper, and the zinc could melt and drop out as a glob of molten metal into your beaker of a VERY FLAMMABLE LIQUID which would boil and splash everywhere.

Break out your Wayback machine.

The reaction products are toxic by inhalation. The copper surface of the hot penny catalyzes the oxidation of acetone. Hot copper reacts with oxygen in the air to produce a coating of copper oxide, CuO. Once formed, the copper oxide reacts with acetone, producing ketene and methane and regenerating copper metal. The overall reaction is: CH3COCH3(g) → CH2CO(g) + CH4(g)

It is.

Toxic af

How is it toxic ?

@@yoeyyoey8937 Ever tried breathing acetone? Try it and then ask that.

Yes! Ive always thought of ways to do this. Some sort of closed container with copper pipe running through it with openings on both side of the bottle or container. Put a fan on one side of the copper tube to move the heat energy. But considering acetone is incredibly flammable, sounds like a accident waiting to happen

I usually just put a bit of fired limestone and water in a sealed metal contained and the reaction gets super hot

I thought pennies weren’t made of copper anymore… otherwise they’d each be worth far more than 1 cent and people would just start melting them down.

Don’t hand warmers essentially work this way? Just using a safer reaction

The hand warmers from the 50's (Jon-E Warmer) work like this, uaing lighter fluid and a catalyst metal.

why do you phrase that like it's a problem? pennies already cost more to produce than they're worth, using genuine copper would probably end up making it worth more by its weight in copper than the value on the coin so you'd be better off melting a bunch down into ingots and selling them as scrap

​​@@frigid_metal9545pennies get cheaper and cheaper because they use literal scrap metal like TIN. I stand corrected... its Zinc. Even worse

@@frigid_metal9545 He didn't phrase it "like it's a problem." He's actually doing us a service, by letting us know any old penny won't do, that you need one of the pennies made before the mint switched over to copper-clad pennies.

​@frigid_metal9545 the reason he said that is because the reaction won't be sustained with a new penny because only the shell is copper. The inside is zinc. You need a denser amount of copper to sustain the reaction. This has nothing to do with how much pennies cost to make 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@christhut8140 🙌🏆

except diesel is way cheaper than acetone...

And poisons everyone living there, now saves even more on groceries and no longer has a need to heat the house

​@@josephvaughn6168Yeah, ketene is bad. One of the few things that can dehydrate acetic acid to acetic anhydride.

And dies from the highly toxic fumes....

This reaction has both. The flow is coming from the acetone evaporating and he heated the penny red hot before placing it in the beaker.

Did you miss the part where he heated the penny.

The flow is from convection.

Catalysts like powdered platinum group metals don't need to be heated, they'll start paper on fire if air is pulled through (e.g. filter paper)

It's actually not illegal as he wasn't trying to commit fraud by altering the currency.

Ahhh. It will eat through the tiny amount of copper cladding the zinc cored ones really quick I assume?

The copper wire was likely the more effective heat conductor.

@@outsider344 Zinc has a lower melting point that copper and at least that I know when doing that experiment the Zinc would reach its melting point when heating it up.

Of course. Always important when playing with The Jar.

depends on how pure the acetone is. my nail polish remover is just straight acetone

Try it. And who said that you must use a penny? Anything copper should work. Even trimmings from a plumbing repair or upgrade should be okay. Let us know!

also, even if it's not pure acetone it might still work. Looks like it's just relying on the vapor pressure, and the vapor pressure is pretty linearly related to the volume percent of acetone

Given the way it smells I assume the vapors coming off the nail polish remover are almost straight acetone. Might work fine

​@@StanErvin-yo9vl Copper pipe is the better option if you're unsure you have a 100% copper penny.

Zinc might melt though

@@windowsxpmemesandstufflol No "might" about it. Zinc melts a couple hundred degrees before red heat.

Zinc also releases toxic fumes... At the same temperature pennies glow red.

Orbex and Zippo both make these heaters, and have for about 50 years.

There is. They’re all just dangerous and not feasible considering the alternatives unless used in an industrial process and unlikely even then unless you need the byproduct for some reason.

Similar reactions catalysed by platinum and other precious metals are the basis for the catalytic converters that are used to reduce pollution from cars. The catalytic converter has a ceramic honeycomb inside that is coated in a thin layer of platinum particles, when hot exhaust from the engine containing unburnt fuel and oxygen flows through the converter the platinum catalyses oxidation of the unburnt fuel, converting it to relatively harmless CO2 and water. We don't use copper for this because it oxidises in the air and would become ineffective over time.

@@nerd1000ify wow thank you for that explanation

Yes except electricity instead of heat as the energy source. And platinum/chromium as the catalyst

No it isn't. "Burning" the vapours yields primarily Ketene. What is actually occurring is Cu-Catalyzed *oxidation* of the vapours, which yields Methanol, CO2, Formaldehyde, Acetic Acid, Formic Acid, and Methyl Glyoxal.

Methylglyoxal
