I've said it before, but it bears repeating. It's very generous of you to openly share your insights, methods, etc with us all. So many others seem to hold onto what they think is proprietary and their's alone, disregarding the education and passing along of knowledge. Along with your interesting and entertaining refining videos, they all make fir GREAT content. Keep it up and thank you. 👍

I cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us. After watching this 10 times I finally felt like I was ready to build my own. I’m an IT professional and work in film and television, not a chemist. You explain everything so clearly and explain the reasons behind your decisions. I’m happy to say my silver cell is up and running. I made a few modifications that may help with uniform crystal growth in the bowl to help others. Just use a copper strap around the entirety of the bowl. It’s not much more expensive. The silver crystal grows concentrically around the bowl at roughly the same rate. Keeps it off the center anode basket longer. Just wanted to share my findings as you do freely.

Welcome back my mentor, ive already built mine using your design and got 1.6 kilos of Silvet Crystal after 10 days, all thanks to what I have learned from you

Great video, I have built several cells according to your design, and purify copper. I get about 750g per week from each one. I use old computer power supplies, because I have many laying around. I refine copper and melt it for material to use to forge hand made items. Thanks for all the great sharing.

Holy smokes, thanks for letting us all know how to make such beautiful crystals like you do. Such a detailed vid you gave us all. Much appreciated man!

I was just talking to my wife about doing this. Keep up the great content Senior Chief. And any 300 series stainless is non magnetic, but the 400 series is always magnetic.

Excellent techniques: reminds me of my very first job as a trainee analytical chemist in 1966! Great video! Cheers from Down Under.

This refining process is extremely interesting. I recently discovered copper ore, with gold and silver being secondary metals and I have since been interested in how exactly metals are separated from ore. Very cool🤙

Fascinating to see you make the silver cell and these silver crystals are so pretty. 👍

Great video. I love learning about precious metal refining at home. I would love to see how you handle your waste and how you dispose of the end waste solutions in one video. Keep up the good work.❤

Hi just want to say I ran across one of your videos yesterday and I'm seeing how to make the silver cell today on a separate video. I am so intrigued with this. I am definitely going to do this. I've never done nothing like this. Before but you make it look somewhat simple. Bless you for sharing this information with the world.

Thanks for a well spoken and easy to understand and formative video.

Very generous and accurate explanations. Thanks a lot to share your knowledges and experiences.

Good to see you. I gotta say I'd been hoping to see another one of your awesome videos soon. You didn't disappoint 🙌 Thank you 😊

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and well done for answering the same questions over and over without freaking out! 👏🏻

Thanks for all of the knowledge that you are providing in your videos.

Thanks for making these videos. I've only scratched the surface of what you've uploaded, but you've clearly put a lot of work into these videos. 15 or 20 years ago, a resource like your video catalogue would seem unimaginable outside of a university classroom or an apprenticeship.

Excellent video. Very easy to understand and to practice.

Excellent update from the one you made a few years ago. Thanks and best wishes! 👍😎🇦🇺

Very well done Sreetips! Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!

Cristaline silver sold on the market increased 5000% in 2023, all seems to relate to sreetips teaching the masses how to electrolyse silver.

Hi, Most folks don't know there are 2 types of stainless steel. One like this and a magnetic type that really isn't stainless at all. They achieve stainless on the addition of nickel and or other white metals in the mix with high carbon steels. This is a great setup. Little time and resorses aside from the power supply to invest in. Ever since meeting you I have wanted to build one of these systems as I create a lot of super fine filings contaminated with a file treatment called "Burr Life" produced by Rio Grande down there in LA. I have accumulated a couple pounds of it over the 6 or 7 years I have been saving it. Not really enough to justify making a system like this but who knows, a possibility in the future eh. If I remember I can send it to you for refining for a cut of the procedes ? Thanks as always. Top notch work here this fine day old friend !

Another awesome video! You're an excellent instructor! Thank You. Jim in Phoenix

Master, you opened my eyes of how much I waste just for the Gold process, You taught me within my gold feline, the silver waste, actually covers the shipping cost. You R so Awesome

The most relaxing videos, if you added ASMR to the title I am sure you would have way more subscribers which of course you do deserve at least 51 million

I'm honestly interested in the silver cement powder set up you made. Could you do a video going over that? Also thank you for the knowledge. What is pure silver good for exactly? Coins and value? I'm sure jewelery and tableware need to have other elements added to make it more stable or harder

Thanks for the video Sreetips. Silver refining videos are my favorite for some reason more steps I guess is what I like about it. Thanks again sir.

Wow, I just ran across your channel and I am blown away at what it takes to "create" precious metals, thanks for sharing.

Hi MR sreetips thank you for the greatly detailed educational videos on recovery and refining metals it is a blessing to have this knowledge for personal use. Me personally I’m a new novice and was told in the past that this hobby wasn’t worth it. your videos helped tremendously to prove those acquisitions was wrong. Thank you for serving our country sreetips.

Have you thought about why the silver crystalizes on the cathode? I just think its cool but my guess is that it due to the direction the electrons travel. Our convention is to think of current as flowing from positive to negative but electrons actually flow negative to positive. So, the electrons are entering the electrolyte from the surface of the cathode. The moment they enter the electrolyte, they meet a silver ion. The moment that silver ion accepts an electron, it falls out of solution and since all this is happening in proximity to the cathode surface, which includes the surface of the silver crystals that have already formed, that silver atom falls right into place within the lattice of a silver crystal! 🎉 If I misunderstand anything about this someone please correct me!

A true modern day alchemist. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.

I love these videos. As a visual learner , thank you for taking the xtra time of producing this content. I restore vintage mechanical watches , cases, offer plating services, import gemstones and make my own jewelry thru lost wax casting. I own full casting, metalsmith, watchmaker studio. Self taught off of industry standards, principles and methods. Everything you show is a part of the trade I want to develop. I think the first process I want to start is making silver electrolyte. I have everything in here to make the silver cell. Nice constellation by the way. I specialize in vintage omega. I over haul , restore around 12-20 per year.

How do you make your electrolyte if you don't have pure silver crystals?

Sreetips, I was driving to Walmart earlier today and was thinking... My 7y.o. son is home from school for spring break and would like to attempt to put metals in and out of solution. Do you have any videos you recommend in your catalog that I could do with my son? Ideally, if you had some YT shorts or any video(s), I could follow along, he could watch from afar, would be great! I have done enough experiments in college to keep him and I safe at a small scale I would work with. I have a few laptops laying around some silver dollars. Anything I could do would be great, my son would absolutely be interested in this. It can be anything as simple as putting a penny in some HCl in a mason jar and tossing some zinc in there to cement it out (I dont know if that would even work). Sorry if this doesnt make sense, half asleep and been meaning to ask you this.

I am learning so much from you, you’re a great teacher and I was hoping to learn the entire process!

Thank you , that was very informative, I will begin my own silver cell now

I’ve been meaning to ask you, why not use the nearly pure powder silver instead of pure silver in the electrolyte to increase the usage of the impure silver in the system? You seem to have an abundance of that silver. Couldn’t you use nitric acid to dissolve the silver powder for the electrolyte instead of the pure silver Crystal you could be melting down and selling for high profit?

Thourly enjoyed this video. Great job describing the process, thanks. Peace. . .

I think I've watched you make this at least twice before and it's interesting every time.

Such a fascinating process. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Sreetip . Great video with a great explanation of what your process is . God bless you and yours.

This is something I will never do. But I will watch it and find it interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you sir outstanding information excellent video six stars

Thank you for sharing this method I really appreciate it an will use it myself

Thank you Sreetips! Your videos are invaluable. Id love to be able to do the things you show on here.

I love the content and thank you so much for the education. Two big 👍👍as always.

Sree my friend you give me hope. I'm in a very bad situation in my life. But brother you have given me hope that I can do this and actually get by. Thank you for your lesson and thank you for educating me. You sir are a great man and I thank you for giving me hope

Good ASMR video! Your voice is soothing and relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for showing me how to do this. You are awesome buddy😊.

Hello Mrs and Mr sreetips. I enjoy this clip. Thank you. I whis you a great day, and god bless you. Thanks for the passion you share whit us. Arne

God bless you for sharing your knowledge, I bow to you. Stay safe

ive seen your channel before but never appreciated it. Just subbed because of your demeanor and willingness to share knowledge.

Very amazing. And very well taught on what to do. I'm afraid myself that I will probably not ever try this because of chemicals involved, but none the least, you are awesome and you should have been buddies with Mr. Rogers. He would have loved you in his show. Kids would have come out the woodwork to watch creativity like this. Subbed for sure brother. And yes I'm a silver Stacker.

Your awesome for sharing this

Ahh the old saying stays true “it takes silver to make silver” 😂 this is awesome! Loving this series

Really great videos man. I had to watch a couple of your videos to understand that you’re recovering silver in a pure form from silver you previously held in an impure form. Many years ago when I was in college I worked in the darkroom in radiology at the local hospital. The solution we used to develop the films with was loaded with silver from the film. A company would come pick up our old solution every month to get rid of the “hazardous waste”. Even the silver from old films in the patients radiology records were recovered after being inactive for a time. I don’t think they X-rays use films that much anymore except for the portable X-rays and maybe dental X-rays.

Outstanding Job Thank you

I see why other channels recommend you! Thank you

Thank you Sreetips. I'm always looking forward to the next video's.

I love the way you explained things. Most people, when they dominate a topic they talk like every once knows what you're talking about. You explained slowly, real teaching skills. 🎉 Thanks 🙏

yea man thanks for sharing all that you do ...its absolutely amazing ..your frickin awesome man

Wow... this is awesome. Thank you for sharing. I only

Who knew it was so easy....thanks man

Awesome video man truly awesome.

Goooood evening from central Florida! Have a great one!

Great video! Thank you for the info

I think this is very important and interesting content... especially in the economy we are all in right now and I thank you for sharing your experience and procedures with us.. God bless you

Awsome, just awsome 😅😊 I was just commenting earlier out of concern because of the lack of Sreetips in our lives 😃

Glad to see your back!

Very cool Sreetips , I was curious about what happened to you . I'm so glad everything is OK 👏👏

Seen ur vids, just saw the vid and came over to simply LIKE it, and watch later

Another good show, Sreetips.

My son and I been doing nickel plating but this is next. Thankyou for sharing

Thanks for the video!

Fascinating ❤

You Rock dude! Keep going!

Very informative, thank you. You could be a teacher. But then you'd have to deal with annoying people.

Your the best teacher

High purity silver crystal is beautiful.

Coolest video I've seen in 3 years

Very cool stuff 😮❤

Thank you good sir!

Refining is a darn good skill to have! I didn't even take chemistry in school, and that was probably a huge mistake.

Impeccable operation

great video!

10:20 The proper term for this is not filter, it’s diaphragm. This is because it’s not meant to preferentially stop passage of anything. All it does is slow down diffusion so that the solution around the anode can have a somewhat different composition than around the solution outside touching the cathode. This increases efficiency, because you want the cathode solution to be rich in silver ions and the anode area to be depleted in silver ions, and the conduction of the silver ions can be slow compared to their diffusion rate, which has a random direction, and you want to make the silver ions go from anode to cathode, not randomly. So the diaphragm limits diffusion and doesn’t slow down conduction much, and thus it selects for the conduction that you want.

Dude ur super cool! I wanna be like u lol. Teach me ur ways!!!

82👍's up sreetips thank you for sharing

Excellent.

I’ve been waiting for a new video and It’s always a good day when sreetips posts a video! Still think you’re a severely underrated channel and should be at millions of subscribers and viewers but Ik you’ll hit it one day

Mate, this is awesome

Thanks sreetips your videos are very helpful and educational! Quick question. Can you use copper to bring back the used silver nitrate electrolytes? I seen a video of yours we’re you used muriatic acid to bring back the silver. Also my first silver cell I did I used 998-999 silver for my silver nitrate and my crystal silver once melted had a low percentage like .996-.998. Does silver nitrate need to be made out of 99.99% silver to achieve 99.9%? Thanks again for your hard work making videos

Thank you for your remote mentorship. I've gone through Hokes literature as you recommended. Definitely the Old Testament on Precious metal refining. One question in dealing with waste stream. After transferring out from my Iron tank, I correct the pH to 7-9 to precipitate all the metals. The sludge just sits in my jumbo urn filters draining very little fluid. Can I drop the pH to 6.5-7.2 after precipitation before filtering to ease the process without causing the precipitate to impregnate the solution? If not, what do you do? I'm uncomfortable disposing of the gelatinous filtrate in my solid waste stream. Should I just wait it out to completely desiccate it or am I just being overly cautious?

This is a very nice system for refining silver. I have a 30 amp power station similar to yours. I use my set up to make colloidal silver liquid. Do you have any tips on making high quality colloidal silver liquid. I usually don't use an electrolyte, so it takes a longer time for electrolysis

This is really fascinating😮 Bit too much of a science experiment to do myself for my liking, but the outcome of what I assume will be a silver bar is appealing ! You showed some Stirling cutlery.....is that saleable to a Mint ? If it is I’d start looking in my local thrift shops 😉🙏

Thank you very kindly.

I enjoy your vids. Can I use a bigger bowl? What happens if it's not non-magnetic?

Thank you Sreetips. I always learn something from your videos. Question though, I read below that you are stacking silver because it is undervalued. I agree. Why not keep it as sterling then? How would you value your silver crystal if it does not have a stamp on it? I am stacking silver and want to create a silver cell mainly out of curiosity and interest. I am holding onto silver mainly for wealth generation e.g. passing it down to future generations.....Would I be able to sell the silver crystal on after completion of this project?

I watch all the videos. Repeatedly

Fascinating
