Turning a blob into pure gold is pretty sweet. Turning the waste into pure silver? Now that's what I call a silver lining

Seeing you handle silver with your bare hands assures me that you're not a werewolf. That's always nice to see in content creators

my anxiety levels when he drank the juice 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈

The Breaking Bad references were so unbelievably shameless that I can only respect it.

The gold and silver videos were some of the best videos I've seen on KZfaq in a long time. Thanks for taking the time to make them.

6:00 @Modern Goldsmith that isn't giving the reaction room to breathe. That is playing with your health and potentially your life. You are adding water to a concentrated base here which results in explosive heat generation. It is one of the basic rules of laboratory chemistry to never add water to concentrated acids and bases. You only ever do it the other way around. As A matter of fact: there have been explosions with several casualties in Frankfurt (Germany) because water was mixed to fast with concentrated sulfuric acid! You gave me a literal heartstopper here!

I've recently finished my chemistry graduation and I must say I truly love your videos, using chemistry as a tool to do your work is amazing and I wish I could do the same! As for the Glucose part, one possibility I thought is, since it is a solid, it doesn't get as much contact with your reactant, hence the slow reaction. When you use a Glucose solution though, the solvent makes the Glucose more available in the medium, speeding up the process, an interesting test would be to use a glucoese solution right away, maybe that way, the reaction would be less vigorous!

I'm grateful your so thankful, I'll stick around. You and sreetips my boys!

Cheers to giving credit to Sreetips and NileRed! 👍

Considering the last video had the "Forbidden Orange Juice" which was gold mixed with acid over ice (which I can only imagine being very corrosive and toxic), the fact that you toasted with Actual Orange Juice in a smiliar beaker over ice is both fitting.... and giving me horror flashes of you mixing the two up and having to be rushed to the hospital........ but great video!

This series was surprisingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for the great content.

It’s impressive that you can say the names of the results and oder material’s I’ven not doing chimica class. I did it and it’s still difficult to name dose names in 2 seconds. RESPECT. Love your contents😊continue like this

I literally just got finished watching your gold blob video and find you just posted the silver one. what timing

This videos are a great example for the difference between learning by force (school) and learning by interest. I hated chemistry in school. And no teacher had the time, or took the time to explain their enthusiasm for this class. So, the only thing I learned in chemistry class was… it’s boring, you only need it if you want to become a chemistry teacher… and it maybe killing you. Now I watch these videos, thinking: „Man THAT IS COOL!!!“ Thank you for showing a cool side of chemistry! ❤

Cheers to giving credit to Sreetips and NileRed! . This series was surprisingly relaxing to watch. Thanks for the great content..

What a fun journey you took us on. This was great. Thanks!

These were so fun to watch! Cheers for sharing your experience and learning how fun and rewarding chemistry really is! Gorgeous pieces.

Props on this series! It’s clear you’ve put a lot of time, attention and research into the chemical processes for both the gold and silver. I love your making videos, but this has been a super fun detour 😊

I love how the videos are nic and short and straight to the point with little excess talking or video!

So essentially when you add NaOH into AgCl solution, you make HCl. But when you add water the reaction is highly exothermic and it boils like at 5:30.

0:51 bro was looking like walter white lol😂😂 Btw cool video

Loved all aspects of the video!The chemistry, the humor, the Walter White impression everything was on point.

Its cool to see the goldsmith side of this. I watched nile red's video on his gold melting, so it was cool to see the other side of things too

Your video was excellent! I used to refine silver out of a sodium argentothiosulfate solution from my photography studio. Reminds me of my childhood! Keep up the good work and love that you are using the proper PPE for your videos.

Great video! Sodium hydroxide and sugar is my go to method with AgCl. That violent reaction you had was probably due to excess lye. A rule of lab safety is add concentrated acid(or lye in your case) to water but not the other way around. That said, great result! Don't forget to test your stockpot 😁

Such a freaking epic series! I love rings but would LOVE to see any other kind of jewelry. Earrings, necklace, bracelet…tiara? I cant wait to see what you end uo making!

Fascinating video. Im going to watch your gold blob video right now. Do you have any videos on platinum?

Enjoy your narration and film shooting style / edits. Good stuff.

I love your video's and am a big fan of NileRed and Sreetips channels as well. Thanks!

I really appreciate that you made two parts!

Love your videos, would definitely be keen on one of the study classes. I’ll need to check your website out.

Loved both video's hope to see much more chemistry from you...😮😮😮

That's so cool to see the refinement process, makes me want to learn chemistry

Hey, if you want to dillute an acid, add it into water and not the other way around. For most acids the dillution process is exothermic (=releasing energy in the form of heat) as far as I know. So the little water getting added immediately boils & reacts like in your video (or worse).

I knew I KNEW Nile Red spirit was infused in both videos. So fun! Thank you for sharing!

thank you for making these videos love your videos

this was another awesome video! I'm not a chemist either, but I sure loved watching the process! Thanks for the chemistry lesson! It's probably not enough to make a money clip, but that would be a good use for it!

0:45 science yes

Nilered actually made me watch this video (both this and the first part), chemistry is really interesting!

this is the only time that Ive stopped the video just to like and subscribe lmao this content is awesome!

i've loved all your videos so far, but these last two were so unique and interesting, i am amazed by your talent!!! you are such an interesting and creative person :) also the editing skills are on point, it all feels so natural. Big fan from France

I was thinking with the silver and gold you could potentially make really REALLY cool rings or pendants based off of the shape of their atoms? Maybe use notching or something to create the electron pattern? I just think you could really come up with something unusual and very modern but also as a commemoration for your first foray into the chemistry of producing gold and silver from ore/melted blobs of varying metals!

So glad the algorithm suggested this, amazing work!! Ur a wizard essentially.

These videos are definetly my favorite!

Fascinating video! If you ever go through the process again, you should totally try to make precious metal clay. It's exactly this powdery form they use to make it, mixed with an organic binder.

Turning wasabi lettuce into silver, alchemy! Really interesting to watch alongside the gold blob. Bravo

what a genius channel idea, this content is awesome

That was interesting! I like your Style, Great job.

You could use it for some kind of family jewelry. Maybe a small pendent for everyone?! I kind of like the idea of using it for a sentimental piece (or pieces) :)

good job with the blobs

I’ve recently have been experimenting with this urban mining thing . However I’m not as a good chemist as you in fact I failed chem in high school . Your technique and procedures are great and more accurate. But as this is only a hobby for me I like the burning method which is good enough for me. Watching these videos motivates people to do better so thanks . Your narration is simple to understand sometimes funny . Good job . Keep going

This video is really good keep up the work❤

@1:23 mhhh, the forbidden wasabi

0:40 Breaking bad from wish

Very interesting to see this and your last one where you created the disk of gold. I'd love to see the process where either of these were made into jewelry.

Another awesome video!

As a Chemist, drinking from the beaker just sends shivers down my spine...

4:38 "cordless drill" also the cord in the background

hands down one of my new fav youtubers

Ngl the gold video was the first video of yours I’ve seen and this is the second, and that breaking bad bit made me like and subscribe

@5:45, your solution was too concentrated to allow the reaction to proceed - adding water thinned it out enough the reaction continued briefly.

It's really cool to see the beginning to the end of this process.

Amazing video!

5:37 The liquid was saturated with silver oxide, so the sugar had "no room" to react.

2:16 The forbidden avocado smoothie (Edit: is it a forbidden mocha milkshake?)

The music used when heating the powder is so relaxing!

Well explained 👏 👌 I love this!

I clicked on you gold video thinking it was a NileRed video, however I wasn't disappointed and the journey was great. Great to listen too aswell (although the hard breaks in music are a bit uncomfortable), soft voice, good audio. I'm going to check out some of your smithing now. One big problem: As someone who takes safety in the lab very serious (I burned my nostrils once by smelling acid full on) I can't agree with someone drinking out of a beaker or any chemistry glassware, doesn't sit right with me, really bothers me, even as a very well meant transparent joke. But keep on with the rest, and good luck.

Could you do a video in which you collect all the dust and dirt from your shop and look how much precious metal or even stones are in it?

Nice reference! Sreetips is goated!

You got +1 subscribers. You deserve way more from the hard work

5:10 a spoon full of sugar helps the silver go down, the silver go down.

You completely earned the sub from me for that Walter White bit! I COMPLETELY did NOT expect that and it was hilarious XD

impressive from start to finish !!

Pure and solid information similar as your refining results!

This is now a chemistry channel

1:14 forbidden avocado

Awesome!! I will have to visit your online store. 👍👍😁

25 grams of silver? The standard weight of a silver coin is about 28 grams, so maybe you could make a custom silver coin? Maybe with some gold inlay? Just a thought.

9:19 I'm surprised that the torch doesn't blow the powdered silver out of the crucible ? 🤔

Older video, but i find it fascinating. Awesome shoutout to nile red. Watch a lot of his vids

I like this dude, good sense of humor.

0:01 why was the breaking bad theme just sneaking in.

Did you get in trouble drinking orange juice from a beaker in a yellow suit? 😆

This taught me more about chemistry than two semesters of college. Thank you 😊

I was always taught and I alwyas taught that you should NEVER drink from any glassware (beakers included) that come from a lab or are for lab use. Safety first, then a "drinking" glass of OJ! Excellent job, I found you calm voice over came my "hurry up" want to see the gold and silver. My patience was rewarded at the end of your videos. FInally, it "goes to show" that you should never throw rocks away unless you are certain that there isn't treasure in each one!

10:40 When you are drinking some orange juice but you remembered that you've left the meth in the oven

bros in walter white’s RV 💀

I love these videos..I dont have the set up to even try any of this but its interesting..

The bit with the allen key in the drill was so intense! Waiting for the smash!

Do the copper!

Bro it tuned to german 2:34

This guy is low key my hero 👏💪

I saw part one of this video in my recommend, i watched it, look who earned a subscriber.

THIS is how you teach chemistry to a young impressionable audience. Numbers and letters cannot compare to hands-on demonstrations and an actual payoff at the end!

Turning a blob into pure gold video: "I'm not a chemist and this is the first time i'm experimenting with gold." Turning a blob into pure silver video: *"Jesse, Jesse we must cook."*

For washing steps you can use a separatory funnel to reduce the number of washing steps, make it easier to separate layers and prevent the loss of any silver

Good job, Silversmith

Wow! I wish you could turn my blob of a marriage into something valuable!!

1:09 No kidding, for a secondI thought this was cabbage... What is wrong with me ?
