NileRed it’s cool to be in the KZfaq science group

You and cody should do a colab! I bet he could get better results in your lab and it would be cool seeing both of you working on this!

NileRed ah my favourite youtubers together 😍

NileRed Colab!!

that's what i wanted to say that Wow he got nile red's glassware amazing

you are my new favourite reference-based youtube account.

Or was it 15 hours?

Cody'sLab :D

Or was it 27 hours

Or was it 39 hours

i bet cody slept only an hour (i suspect he sleeps while standing) and wants us to think he's normal so he wound the clock forward 2 hours. got him!

dang. someone figured it out.

I was actually expecting some of these chocolate coins tbh.

Skult nah I don't think so

skult u traitor giant loving buttmuncher good comment tho i like u

Wolframium lol

lol, he'd know if his bar was tungsten because he'd have to heat it up six times hotter to melt it, for one.

Cheezits I totally agree, I always was slightly interested in science and chemistry in school, but never quite understood a lot of it. I've learned more from Cody on KZfaq than litteraly every science course I've ever taken.

Honestly, more kids interested in Chemistry would probably be a bad thing... that shit's dangerous.

yaksher educate them. Not educating them is far more dangerous then chemistry

Im A kid and i love school but cody is more engaging to me

Cody also apparently has far more cash than the average school does for science. Gotta love how he causally x-rays a roll of gold foil that he spent a few grand on with a device that probably cost just as much.

stonks?

@@canigetsubs-pm7hz stonks.

Rose gold is so beautiful. It's my favorite color by far!

Cody is a genius. None of his videos suck.

Micah Philson I agree

😅😅😅how is that possible

one of the only channels where I see a video and click, no matter the content.

my favorite is cody's mine

Coneshot nah he lives in the middle of nowhere

Good joke though.

he lives in logan in the week he said on a video

Ahahuhahuhuhahuhahah! Nice Joke! My ass dropped out! =D

yeah really, he has no idea what is on the other side at any time, you can see he exposed himself to a dose of bromine already, he means well cept he might be on the spectrum

Goat milk

Yep, I was thinking he would make like $1-2k, but you spend hours and hours, plus the price of chemicals not taken into account.... not worth it if you try to make profit. But totally worth it for the science :D Thanks Cody for having the time and money to do this.

You gotta add profit from youtube and it's probably very worth it. ^_^

KZfaq doesn't pay him, they don't like chemistry videos on their platform as it's "dangerous." Patreon is where he gets most of his money.

KZfaq has been cracking down on chemistry and shutting down channels.

Yes but I was talking for everybody that would like to try that to make a profit. Not anyone will get thousands of views. Plus I doubt his KZfaq earnings from such videos are very high.

Bjørn-Oskar Rønning the one where he burns down the house to refine out the gold?

Craig Hills That's what we in the business call "doing a William osment"

Matt G oof

Matt G to soon

Matt G so we are waiting for Cody to do a Willy O huh?

I wonder... what would happen... if you fed them with a diluted gold/sugar solution... most expensive honey ever?

lol bromide poisining

Well, gold ions are toxic^^

martijn ellenbroek stop it stop it. It hurts. LoL

In before the FBI shows up

Good guy cody

2 of my favorite KZfaqrs! Too bad KZfaq is having a crackdown on chemistry videos with channels like yours, NurdRage, styropyro, etc. I think chemplayer got shut down, what a shame. Fuck KZfaq and their stupid platform, this is some of the best content out there, it’s like they want their site to be filled with cringey videos and bullshit.

KZfaq is completely corporate, so yes, they DO want their platform full of mindless dross and NO, they don't want information disseminated.

Yup favorite youtubers

he canibalized an industrial sized fan in the last vid

Science with Katie coming from Cody, it could very well be Uranium laced chocolate syrup hahahahaha

Science with Katie I see you every where I go like in the comments of gmm

Science with Katie but.. Your name is science with Katie? How would you not know this was scientific glass. Guess you are a cute girl, probably the reason for obliviousness😉 jp

So I guess I wasn't the only one!

Science with Katie I thought it was one of those cakes where you pour molten chocolate on and they melt and reveal something

Guys I found another Justin Y.

ninjA!!!up up up

I want him to make his own diamond

Stop

dont give hime idees or nvm do give him idees it could be fun to watch

This explains nothing to me. All I still see is bad ROM code, and that that ROM should be swapped out with next-day service by a technician who flies in at the company's expense. Cody stated unequivocally that its not a hardware issue with the instrument.

Alright. You want more, I'll give you more. The gun works by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. It has several different x-ray beam energy settings (10, 20 and 40 keV or something like that). When you bombard an element with x-rays of a particular energy they re-emit photons ranging from the hundreds of eV to tens of keV (I think due to core electron ionization, as opposed to valence electron ionization). The mode you choose determines the x-ray energy and for some x-ray energies, the fluorescence of certain elements is indistinguishable from the fluorescence of others. This is the case for Alloy Mode. "Fix it in ROM" you say. "That r dum" you say. No, actually, the problem is deeper than that. Core electron ionizations tends to have relatively high half-lives before an electron from somewhere else drops into the missing electron slot, on the order of 10's of seconds. If you take a sample with the tube energy at 40keV and then switch to 10keV to get a different spectrum, the data will be contaminated by non-decayed core electron holes from the test at 40keV. In my original comment I wasn't sure which of these two explanations to give. This one is much harder to understand although it is more broadly useful. Also no one had told me "fix it in software" yet.

I did the same "not listening for 30 more seconds" but immediately paused and rushed for "Dude, wait, wot? Wolfram!? Y ain't dere no Aurum? Woot!" =D Thanks for the heads up m8. Sometimes the comment section really rocks!

vertex rikers: its interesting when you look for the manual for it, its easy to find but it says its not to be distributed or copied in any form. I'm don't think they quite get the concept of the "internet".

Well, many times such clauses, even tho 90% futile, are being added just to give the provider an edge in a hypothetic court case - like when someone creates a huge archive and redistributes without permission. Guess that clause ain't considered effective (regarding personal use cases) even by the provider =)

I caught that, and came to ask the same question.

No, I just dont sleep much.

@@theCodyReeder :( sorry man

Atlas WalkedAway Even then, the profit is never going to be that huge. But! You still need to remember, that the time spent is paid off through You Tube; perhaps even much more than the time's worth. So in the end Cody had made good profit; not much, but still, good profit.

Plus gold is good investment; you never know when the economy is goning to shit in the future, the dollar collapses, or inflation hits sky high levels. Gold on the other hand,, retains its value throughout the ages.

black ops Gold retains its value until the very first time that it even remotely seems like we might have a viable plan to mine asteroids or other celestial objects. Call me a blue sky dreamer, but I'll stick to most of my reserve being food, weapons, equipment, and land.

Nate Yeah, I hadn't even thought about the reagents and the wattage. Suckage.

If the economy goes that far south, few people will want gold. They will want food, water, gasoline, and medicine. You can't eat gold. No one will buy it when they're hungry.

Andrew McMidget visits my Chemistry channel

Damian Reloaded An anti-vaccine person? Your brains must be more dashed than the sentence you just wrote.

He was mocking anti-vaxxers actually, hence the 'lead-poisoned conspiracy-believing parents' part

Stephen Beales Didn't realise, anti vaccers are so stupid it can be hard to tell.

Verlisify didn't know you watch Cody

Hello there :3

Fuck are you doing here dawg

There is a reason Verlisifys videos are blacklisted by youtube... He is drama cancer...

of course it does! ;)

Digit975 Good luck on your tests, you're gonna need it

I find Cody is quite useful for geochemistry studies, he taught me all about fire assays and inquart which came up in my second year university exams. So yes!

Hey, something I get!

Funny seeing comments like this, and knowing you've probably already graduated.

me too :/

Håkon Nessjøen lol, fortunately it only took a couple minutes.

he probably makes more from viewers than what thats worth. what a good effort, i hope cody keeps this up for years to come

Honestly I've "made" far more off the tax savings then anything.

Cody'sLab hahaha oh shit yeah mate, maybe I should buy some gold and deduct it

How do these tax savings work, for us not living in stange freedom lands overseas? We have to buy our stuff out of pocket and no taxbreaks or anything, getting skinned on any purchases too. Got myself silver and gold Perth mint dragon bars yesterday, I am METAL (read with death metal growl) now too ;)

Cody'sLab I guess you can write off all of it as a business expense.

What with carbon? The x-ray wont pick that up...

Cody'sLab Honestly not sure. If we were fusing glass to gold, acetylene would total mess that up if the gold were melted and cast using acetylene.

the fact that the xray wont pick it up is even more reason to not do it sonce you wont be able to quantify the contamination

thats probably beacuse you were trying to get the gold to react, or at least form some wierd alloy or mixture. pure gold is probably fine because is unreactive and carbon wont bond, the worst is geing that wierd crud on the surface.

Industrial acetylene has phosphine in it, hence the smell. Maybe the crud comes from gold phosphide?

More likely a rounding error of 99.99%

It wasn't necessarily 100%, just enough that the XRF was like "yep its pure tungsten"

100% +/- 1.3%

No he definitely worked at Aperture Science

brian faini surface contamination can skew results but they beam only penetrates a few nanometers

see this is why it needs another video. Put it this way a sheet of gold as thick as aluminium foil will block all the return x-rays while aluminium foil will block almost none. also since people keep asking the x-ray emission coming off carbon is so weak that even the air is enough to stop it.

Cody'sLab another video on that would be fantastic. Seems like a really interesting tool.

Might be the best money you ever spent, although that software update feels like a ripoff.

It IS a rip rip off. Probably just a few bytes of code that are changed.

KZfaq has almost banned making money from Chemistry videos.

easydoz1 I think one of the KZfaq employee don't realize that it's a educational video

I think youtube is forgetting about what makes youtube popular... Its high quality creators...

I got an ad...

I never saw any advertisment on Cody's videos. I just use an ad blocker like any normal person out there. :P

well the you-tube "auto thumbnail maker" thought this looked most like a face.

Cody has the brain of a scientist but the heart of an artist :)

Where are you getting chlorine? Is your NaBr crude? Small amounts of NaCl in NaBr forming Chlorine would oxidize leftover Bromide. So you could use NaBr in excess. Sorry if I'm overseeing something obvious. But thanks for the upload I was shocked how fast the gold reacted.

Mircea Crafter software issue

yeah he mentioned it a bit later on in the video

What happens when you comment without watching the video

yeah, It is set up for detecting trace amounts of gold and so when I test something with a lot of it the software is like "wtf! ummm... oh I see must be tungsten!" I can fix this issue by sending it in and paying 1000$ for an update but its really pointless since I can look at the graph of energy returns myself and see that it is detecting gold.

Mircea The explanation makes sense for a $2400 instrument. Not ~$24,000, or whatever it was. I'd want a software guy to come to my door in a Mercedes and swap out that ROM, stat.

what I had.

@@theCodyReeder glad to know you understand the rich thermodynamic properties of frozen goat milk...at one time is was a highly guarded secret...

I got it for a steal of 15,000$ you can contact Olympus and they will set you up with a demo, classes, and might let you have one for 30,000$

xD

wow, half of a huge price, nice catch!

*PETAL CRAZED CABBAGE* you can filter it to get rid of impurities or distill it into its main components

You could filter it to remove contaminants and particulates and I do believe there are machines that can take oxygen from the air and leave most of the other gases behind but I am not sure, air itself is a mixture so I don't know if you could refine it. Hope that helps.

what do you even mean?

I'm assuming by air you are referring to oxygen, the breathable part of air in which case yes. Talking about just air as the mix of gasses then also yes but nothing pure

Any gas is breathable as the word only defines a mechanical function of the lungs, you can breathe pure carbon monoxide just as mechanically efficient as you can breathe pure oxygen for a certain period of time, though it would not be advisable to try either.

you check the /subscriptions page at all?

that is weird...because of all the years and complaints of peeps i always land on the sub page and it shows everything, and if i missed something, i just look on the left side at the subbed channel names and they'll have a number of how many i missed from them...and i do get all 870channel vids on the sub page...

so random...

What? xD

yes, unless you use too much, neutralize the acid, and drop out everything.

What about the second part of the question :)

What about saying thanks for taking the time to answer one of your questions?

lol whoops

thx for noticing
