In terms of testing the purity of the diy chemicals, it might be really interesting to have a "scoreboard". Basically have a list of the purities you have been able to achieve, and use that in part to determine where you are in the historical tech tree.
The dark color in the solution is probably from carbonaceous material and iron salts. But most of your nitrates here are bound as calcium nitrate, which is far more soluble than either sodium or potassium nitrate. So you have to precipitate out the calcium. You do this by adding carbonates. And what better source of carbonate than potash. Well potash, K2O, is not woodash which contains potassium carbonate but far more calcium carbonate. So you have to purify your wood ash too.. in part by calcination. Once you've precipitated out the calcium, you separate the sodium from potassium nitrate by successive fractional separation (sodium nitrate is more soluble than potassium nitrate and potassium nitrate is more soluble in warm than cold water...so you heat the solution, allow it to cool and collect the precipitate that forms right under 40 C. Crystalize that... then redissolve and heat and cool and collect.
You mentioned chemicals being one of your biggest hurdles, and that is the same for me when I run my thought experiment where I am sent back in time/isekai'd/zombie apocalypse/dr stoned and have to rebuild modern society. Chemical processes we use today have been brute forced after hundreds of years of experiments, and I doubt any chemistry class will teach you how to create the ingredients with primitive means. So thank you, this is vital information that I will never need but want just in case.
Hey Cody you should check out Sengoku Komachi. It's a manga about industrializing feudal Japan from Oda Nobunaga's court and there was a chapter dedicated to using chicken poop to help making gunpowder. Great video!
Can you make a book where you take everything you learned in all your videos and give us a step by step process on how to go from nothing to the modern era using absolutely nothing that we didn't make ourselves, in as quick and energy efficient a way as possible?
I'm waiting for when Andy reaches the 1900's. Imagine building a radio from absolute scratch, or a movie camera, a TV set; Knowing him, he might just build a functional Saturn V rocket & head to the moon!
So chicken shit is such a good thing, every time someone calls you that they're actually complimenting you?!? I was about to contact BetterHelp, but now I feel so good about myself I don't need them anymore!
I didn't watch this episode just because I have watched like 7 other episodes and everyone of them you didn't get the thing you were working on to work what have you Accomplished?
The Channel Codys Lab did a series where he made gunpowder (it has long been taken down) but he utilized a Niter bed to make nitrates from Urine, hay and black tarp left out in the weather.
Once you've processed rotted poop, the solubles are a mixture of nitrates. Adding wood ash (which contains a lot of soluble potassium compounds) will cause a *displacement reaction* forming more potassium nitrate from the other nitrates, and exchanging with mostly hydroxides, forming Calcium and Magnesium hydroxide, which can be separated.
I really hope this is an old contract for the Better Help sponsorship, and that we won't be seeing them on your channel in the future. Nobody should be supporting a company that sells customer's private health data to advertisers for a quick buck.

2 things about recrystallisation: Use a minimum amount of hot water to fully redissolve the salt. NEVER let all the liquid evaporate to dryness. The whole point about recrystallization is that impurities are left in solution whereas your product crashes out. You can combine the leftover liquid ("mother liquor") of several recrystallizations and boil it down a bit, in order to recover more product.
Hey, so I'm not gonna be sticking around after this. I appreciate what you do--it's genuinely great content. But BetterHelp, as a sponsor, is functionally a data harvesting company that sells data from some of the most vulnerable people to other companies for marketing purposes. It is resale of deeply personal data, in direct conflict with their statements. I wouldn't be so adamant abuot this, but frankly, this has been known information for quite some time at this point, and yet you still chose to work with them. I know these videos take a lot of time, manpower, and yes, MONEY to make. But this is irresponsible. And it feels foolish to expect better after this, considering this has been common knowledge for quite some time at this point, and yet you still place their name at the top of your video description. I like what you do. But I cannot support that. As someone who's struggled with mental health issues, it's deeply disturbing to see such disregard. I wish you the best, and implore you to, perhaps, vet your sponsors better.
Yeh as a mentally ill person I think this is where I peace out too. Everyone knows about BH, even the commenters encouraging HTME to "get that bag" admit to not watching the ad reads. I enjoy this channel but I'm gonna start voting with my watch time.
Drop the Better Help sponsorship! Their "therapists" have suggested that self-deletion might be the best option, suggest "just don't be gay" as a solution for abusive parents and because they don't get paid for unscheduled consultations, they regularly ignore or hang up on off-hours emergency calls. Not to mention that the platform, itself, (unlike the "therapists"), is not restricted by confidentiality laws so they can and DO collect, store and sell your information to third parties, costing their customers potential employment, loans and insurance premiums. Better Help is worse than no help at all.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NEVER USE BETTERHELP!!!!!! DO NOT USER BETTERHELP!!!!!! Their "therapists" ARE NOT VETTED whatsoever. You're just as likely to get a fundamentalist weirdo who hates you as like, actual help. Need actual therapy? SEEK OUT AN ACTUAL THERAPIST IN YOUR AREA - many of them do remote appointments!

You don't really need too much nitrates for making sulfuric acid, you can burn sulfur that makes sulfur dioxide, then absorb it in a solution that contains nitrates, the nitrates will oxidize the sulfur dioxide into the trioxide releasing nitrogen dioxide into the air, which will oxidize in the presence of oxigen back into the nitrate ion, which comes back into the solution, making it a catalyst.
Y'know that game/exercise where you think about taking your modern knowledge and going back in time? Realistically, 99% of us would, at BEST, just assimilate into the time we go to and live as regular folk, upset at all the stuff we know about, but can't actualize any of. Unless you're a chemist... AND geologist... AND physicist... AND engineer... AND half a dozen other high-level industrial professionals WITH all of the historical knowledge of how to do EVERYTHING primitively (no oscilloscopes nor multimeters nor lab-grade chemical dealers in 17th century Italy) or as they were done originally... That's why I love this channel: the struggle is real!
You could probably do pretty well in most instances. Especially if it's after agriculture was invented. As long as that is the case you could work with the scholars of whatever period you are sent to. You have to keep in mind a lot of the stuff he is doing is centuries old. Sulfuric acid has been around for over 1000 years. So have most of the chemicals featured in this video. The main key is to tell people what can be done. Like paper making for example. You could simply tell someone that you take plant matter and water mixed together to make paper. You don't need to know how and you don't even need to show them. If they are motivated enough they will take what you told them and run with it.
That's how I discovered this channel. I was trying to figure out what I could invent if I woke up in Rome (we'll just assume that I magically learn fluent Latin and somehow acquire the necessary funds). So I was looking up some old technology on UA-cam and I discovered How To Make Everything.
@@Imaboss8ball that's the trap of the game. Language alone could be insurmountable, for instance, if English is your only language, then if you go back too far before 1400, you'd be nearly incapable of communicating with anyone. if you speak a love language, like spanish or italian, you'd still have a steep communication curve, but less than for English. However, if you're in Spain or Portugal, your experiments could run afoul of the Church, and you could end up dead. Let's say you surmount all those hurdles: What is Sulfuric acid called before it was called "sulfuric acid"? what's it called in Renaissance Italian Alchemy? if you know how to make it, what're the Ores called in that day and age? Where do you get them? Does some Italian Lord own the lands you want to mine? without being a born noble, how would you secure those rights? Would you risk torture/death to poach the minerals? anything you'd want to use, you'd have to make, which means making the thing to make the thing to make the thing you want; which means getting the raw materials from nature. Most advancements throughout human history haven't been notable b/c they were invented at all, but because they were industrialized, or were industrial advancements in and of themselves. a lot more things that most people realize are dependent on massive industrial infrastructural advancements. For instance: Every Chemistry Experiment where you mix chemicals first requires those constituent chemicals and materials to be manufactured, purified, distilled, and processed. just knowing chemistry is useless unless you know the industrial engineering to make the Things to make the Stuff. So communicating with the scholars of the age (which may be nigh impossible if you're not already rich or noble-blooded) guarantees little more than potentially giving away processes to others who'd steal them and leave you destitute (the fate of MANY inventors throughout history) or, if it challenges established wisdom, could get you escorted out, laughed at and ignored, or drawn and quartered. with "option 4) lauded as a genius" a distant, last-place possibility...
Congratulations on successfully making sulfuric acid! Here's a few of the many (more) uses you'll find for it: *Making hydrochloric acid from NaCl (Which in turn is very useful) *Making nitroglycerin from nitric acid and glycerol *Making flavouring agents from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (i.e. Fisher Esterification) *Making the lead-acid battery (I would prioritize this, personally) *Converting ethanol into diethyl ether (useful solvent, anesthetic, diesel engine starting) ...and of course many more.

They do not help anyone, they make problems worse, people in these positions need to go to the right people, spending time on this app is wasting valuable time. The community knows about their shit by now, I hope we do not see this again. Just noticing this is a month old so, hopefully that's all sorted by now.
Why do great channels keep accepting sponsorships like betterhelp that has proven through multiple instances they arent great, both with their whole unlicensed therapists in the beginning to selling of personal data to 3rd parties.
Hooray! New video! I was confused at first when this video popped up, because you'd already done a chicken poop video, but I saw that it was in a fact a new one. I wish you could have told specifically what all you have in the apothecary now. The only one you showed before was sulphur. Maybe you could do a short in which you show all the chemicals you've collected so far. While I am looking forward to the telegraph, I do worry that you're jumping ahead too quickly. I want to see all the cool Mediaeval and early Modern stuff you've skipped over. You should've made a spinning wheel by now, which could then lead to a spinning jenny. You haven't even done a horsecollar (You could rent a horse to test it). I really want to see a printing press (and better paper than you made before), and a Jethro Tull-type seed drill (even better if you could include some actual Jethro Tull music in the video, but I realise that might be out of your price range).
Don't know if you tried but I just watched another vid which basically says that to make sulphuric acid you can 1. heat pyrite to approx. 600 degrees C (which will boil off the H2S from it) then 2. Add water. As for the battery, you already have lead and sulphuric acid, job done right?
Me: If I had an opportunity to send someone a text via a hand-made telegram, what would I send? Would it be something profound? Deep? Also me: Naaaah, probably just "BUTT FART LOL"
I think it's very important to stop for just a moment and explain WHY chicken poop is high in Urea, nitrates, and nitrogen. They eat a lot of insects. Same as bats, DEPENDING ON SPECIES. that's it, thanks c:
For everyone curious the modern process for H2SO4. You burn sulphur to SO2 reburn it with fresh air to SO3 lead that into high concentratet H2SO4 to form H2SO7 and bring this into water where it splits into 2*H2SO4.
Can you consider making some of the machines that reduced human labor in farming, making the Industrial Revolution possible? You can't advance as a civilization if everyone is farming! I really like your woodworking machines, and I think it would be cool to see a small mechanical reaper or threshing machine!
As you move up the tech ladder and prove you can make a particular resource/chemical from scratch, do you shift to using modern suppliers for i.e. your chemicals, for subsequent projects, or do you try to be as authentic as possible and re-make new batches of base chemicals for later experiments? This applies not just to the chemistry stuff, but the other things, like metalworking.
Now since you’ve passed the basic chemicals milestone you should try to leave the age of gunpowder by making nitroglycerin and therefore entering the age of high explosives. Also you should try to make other key chemicals like ethanol, methanol and hydroxides eg: sodium hydroxide. This will allow you to make soap to then be further processed into glycerin, a key component in nitroglycerin and from nitroglycerin you could follow in the steps of Nicolas Nobel land make dynamite.
Foxfire series has a story where a Appalachian woman shovels her chicken poop to make a red powder to fire her rifle. Perhaps a simpler, less scientific method just works? Ty anyways, wonderful series.
I would appreciate if you put chemical formula of a reaction on the screen every time you do something. Chemical nomenclature is not a subject often visited by non-native speakers and it would be seriously helpful. Chemical formula is pretty universal across languages.
I will never stop being surprised by the fact that chicken shit was an actual, strategic resource back in the day.
human urine was also a very important resource for leather production in the roman empire
@natholius1 Urine was used in the leather making process during medieval times as well! Human poop had its uses, too, though I can't recall what exactly aside from fertilizer
Chicken manure still makes great fertilizer.

Most advancements throughout human history haven't been notable b/c they were invented at all, but because they were industrialized, or were industrial advancements in and of themselves. a lot more things that most people realize are dependent on massive industrial infrastructural advancements. For instance: Every Chemistry Experiment where you mix chemicals first requires those constituent chemicals and materials to be manufactured, purified, distilled, and processed. just knowing chemistry is useless unless you know the industrial engineering to make the Things to make the Stuff.
So communicating with the scholars of the age (which may be nigh impossible if you're not already rich or noble-blooded) guarantees little more than potentially giving away processes to others who'd steal them and leave you destitute (the fate of MANY inventors throughout history) or, if it challenges established wisdom, could get you escorted out, laughed at and ignored, or drawn and quartered. with "option 4) lauded as a genius" a distant, last-place possibility...
How to make NileRed.
Not complaining.
The entire human technological base is built on learning how to throw stones, boil water, and spin things in ever more advanced ways.
I have 30 chickens, it must be my lucky day.
Congratulations on successfully making sulfuric acid! Here's a few of the many (more) uses you'll find for it:
*Making hydrochloric acid from NaCl (Which in turn is very useful)
*Making nitroglycerin from nitric acid and glycerol
*Making flavouring agents from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (i.e. Fisher Esterification)
*Making the lead-acid battery (I would prioritize this, personally)
*Converting ethanol into diethyl ether (useful solvent, anesthetic, diesel engine starting)
...and of course many more.
"How chicken poop helps kick start my industrial revolution"
Answer: Wake up, have a healthy bowl of chicken poop before proposing anti-union legislation.
Hi there Dr. Stone 😂
I can't believe you're doing a better help ad... That was shocking and saddening.
They do not help anyone, they make problems worse, people in these positions need to go to the right people, spending time on this app is wasting valuable time.
The community knows about their shit by now, I hope we do not see this again.
Just noticing this is a month old so, hopefully that's all sorted by now.
Thumbing down because of better help sponsor. Would be a thumb up if not for that. Love the video, hate the sponsor you chose to sign with.
You should work with Nile Red to test the quality of your chemicals
Use the online survivor library if you want to improve your chemistry. There’s plenty of book PDFs on this topic
Really!? a Better Scam ad? try researching sponsors before accepting them.
7:28 the forbidden coffee
Why do great channels keep accepting sponsorships like betterhelp that has proven through multiple instances they arent great, both with their whole unlicensed therapists in the beginning to selling of personal data to 3rd parties.
PLEASE NOT BETTER HELP IM IN HELL WHO ISNT SPONSORED BY THEM AAAAAHHHH
also don’t use bare hands on lead plates
Why are you sponsoring a scam?? Please dont sponsor them!!
Hooray! New video! I was confused at first when this video popped up, because you'd already done a chicken poop video, but I saw that it was in a fact a new one.
I wish you could have told specifically what all you have in the apothecary now. The only one you showed before was sulphur. Maybe you could do a short in which you show all the chemicals you've collected so far.
While I am looking forward to the telegraph, I do worry that you're jumping ahead too quickly. I want to see all the cool Mediaeval and early Modern stuff you've skipped over. You should've made a spinning wheel by now, which could then lead to a spinning jenny. You haven't even done a horsecollar (You could rent a horse to test it). I really want to see a printing press (and better paper than you made before), and a Jethro Tull-type seed drill (even better if you could include some actual Jethro Tull music in the video, but I realise that might be out of your price range).
it sounds like the telegraph project is for their opensauce booth, i wouldn't worry about it meaning the other content is jumping ahead
i would suggest getting a fume hood for future chemical making moving forward
But if bro stops huffing lead fumes how’s he going to justify taking betterhelp’s money?

How to get the FBI to start paying attention:
U should collab with NileRed
With the potash you can now also make soaps, using iron pots as a catalyst to improve the yield.
Bro will get gta 6 bevor us
Don't know if you tried but I just watched another vid which basically says that to make sulphuric acid you can 1. heat pyrite to approx. 600 degrees C (which will boil off the H2S from it) then 2. Add water. As for the battery, you already have lead and sulphuric acid, job done right?
Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself watching a video about making chicken poop juice.🤯🤣
Me: If I had an opportunity to send someone a text via a hand-made telegram, what would I send? Would it be something profound? Deep?
Also me: Naaaah, probably just "BUTT FART LOL"
I think it's very important to stop for just a moment and explain WHY chicken poop is high in Urea, nitrates, and nitrogen.
They eat a lot of insects.
Same as bats, DEPENDING ON SPECIES.
that's it, thanks c:
Please stop taking sponsorships from BetterHelp! Not the kind of company you want to be subjecting your viewers to...
For everyone curious the modern process for H2SO4. You burn sulphur to SO2 reburn it with fresh air to SO3 lead that into high concentratet H2SO4 to form H2SO7 and bring this into water where it splits into 2*H2SO4.
"accidental chemicals" have led to plenty of breakthroughs (and disasters) throughout the history of science and industry...
Can you consider making some of the machines that reduced human labor in farming, making the Industrial Revolution possible? You can't advance as a civilization if everyone is farming!
I really like your woodworking machines, and I think it would be cool to see a small mechanical reaper or threshing machine!
But will you support the rebuilding of the Gaza society when its time? Dont be quiet like everybody else Andy, please!
As you move up the tech ladder and prove you can make a particular resource/chemical from scratch, do you shift to using modern suppliers for i.e. your chemicals, for subsequent projects, or do you try to be as authentic as possible and re-make new batches of base chemicals for later experiments? This applies not just to the chemistry stuff, but the other things, like metalworking.
Now since you’ve passed the basic chemicals milestone you should try to leave the age of gunpowder by making nitroglycerin and therefore entering the age of high explosives. Also you should try to make other key chemicals like ethanol, methanol and hydroxides eg: sodium hydroxide. This will allow you to make soap to then be further processed into glycerin, a key component in nitroglycerin and from nitroglycerin you could follow in the steps of Nicolas Nobel land make dynamite.
You should consider a collaboration with NileRed for chemical/chemistry things.
Foxfire series has a story where a Appalachian woman shovels her chicken poop to make a red powder to fire her rifle. Perhaps a simpler, less scientific method just works? Ty anyways, wonderful series.
I would appreciate if you put chemical formula of a reaction on the screen every time you do something. Chemical nomenclature is not a subject often visited by non-native speakers and it would be seriously helpful. Chemical formula is pretty universal across languages.
