    Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth subsalicylate, and it's possible to extract the bismuth from it and use it to grow metal crystals.
    This is a re-visit of a project that I attempted a few years ago: • How to Extract Bismuth...

      It's mind blowing how much influence a small video can have on someone's future. In my case, Channels like Nigel's are the reason I kept being interested in science and more importantly biochemistry. I never thought I had it in me but fast forward 4 years, I'm now one of the top students in my classes and even got offered some paid internships at my local research labs. Again I never even thought I'd understand anything but his videos (especially the one where he explained crystallisation) kept my curiosity going. Here I am, on my way to *hopefully* open my own lab.

    • @rawr6306

      Actually that’s precisely why I went into chemistry instead of biology! My HS chemistry prof was fantastic and actually let us play. Guided us in not completely destroying his classroom/labs but we still burned and melted a fuckton of stuff. He was tough, critical but knew how to push and challenge us. I know I’ll sound bitter a bit but sadly this sort of literal experimentation just isn’t allowed (liability mostly) any more and it’s made chemistry [wet at least] a lot less interesting. It’s like dissection in biology. I was dissecting fetal pigs and cats, pithing frogs and watching their hearts beat, hooking up gastrocnemius muscles to drum oscillographs and shocking them with different voltages to determine the most efficient and so much more in my 7th (yes SEVENTH) grade biology science lab (it was HS Advanced Placement level). This just doesn’t happen in scene classes today. I absolutely know and so appreciate the invaluable level of education I received. If only that was still happening…

    From a medical standpoint Bismuth is also sometimes used as a hemostatic agent. It helps stop bleeding. Which is why it used to be so effective in Pepto, a lot of people would drink it for peptic ulcers and maybe even early stages of small bowel Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis relief. We of course have much better and widely standardized methods of treatments and better hemostat agents as well but a very interesting element nonetheless

    I'd like to add another thing to 1:47 where Bismuth is used commercially; Due to its low melting point, it is/was also used as a fuse, to keep households from catching fire when high amperages flow. Although simple and relatively cheap, the downside of it is that the fuse cannot be repaired and you have to resort to buying new ones when one or many are affected. To add insult to injury, many old households including the one I live in still maintain such archaic methods while new or renovated households use switch circuit breakers.

      I think the most amazing scientific example is right there: 23 minutes of a video which are small cuts of hours of work, showing step by step of what not to do because of these reasons. Even negative findings are useful. Still, it looks pretty damn advanced, but that's the purest form of chemistry. Imo tho. Every science can be difficult, but difficult is only a way of thinking more. Its trial and error - getting data and converting it into context. Maybe, one person will see this and say: I'll try this tomorrow - maybe I can find a way.
      As much more numbers we get, more chances of this video having a solution.

      He always knows just what to say without sounding like a full on narrator and knows how to keep things interesting.
