- Not just the brightener - an all-in-one solution - without cyanide, fumes or hassle - I promised to share this on a previous video you can buy the solutions on our shop at secure.workingi...
it covers both bath plating and brush plating or wand plating - Наука та технологія
Over three months without any videos then three in as many days, my life is complete :) Seriously though, it is good to see you posting again.
lol - cheers mate
The plating room at one of my employers was used for Nickel coating various cases for power semiconductor devices. They first plated with Copper (when necessary), then Nickel was plated on top of it, for best adhesion. Copper headers only needed degreasing, de-oxidising and then Nickel plating. The solution looked like yours, but it was in big baths, maybe 20 cubic metres in volume.
Nickel salts, as you say, are very toxic, and also carcinogenic. Skin allergies are ten seen with them, too. The plating shop, therefore had everything under what were essentially fume cupboards, but on a larger scale. This was necessary in order to extract the Hydrogen Cyanide which was released during plating. Good protective gear (face mask, suitable gloves, coat, boots, and splash apron) was also worn by people in there.
On one occasion, an extractor fan failed, without an alarm sounding, and nobody noticed, because of the noise of other extractors. I walked into the shop, noting that a couple of women had gone to the canteen, complaining of headaches. The smell of almonds was unmistakable, so I hit the alarm and vacated the area. Headache and sore throat are among the first symptoms of cyanide poisoning.
One big problem with HCN is that if the concentration builds slowly, most people cannot smell it. Women often smell it even less readily than do men, partly because they wear perfumes. Thankfully, nobody was incapacitated, and those affected (most people in there) recovered within an hour or two.
_This experience highlights the need to at least ensure good ventilation, and in many cases, to work in a fume cupboard, when working with chemicals. This applies especially to Nickel salt solutions, in the case of FWG._
Thanks for the demonstration, Robert.
I used some of your old videos to make my nickel plating solution. The one where you used muriatic acid and black nickel oxide from a ceramics supply to make nickel chloride comes to mind. Back when you didn't have a vent hood and had to shoot the videos outside. Would love a follow up on any of those old battery experiments (if you still have them) and what you learned from them. It's been an interesting progression to see, and I do inexplicably miss the old banjo intro.
It still makes me laugh/smile to hear the audio quality gripes in the comments (1st thing I do after the FWG logo is max out my volume and lean in) - I'm surprised they don't complain about how fast you speak when you're excited about something since I usually set UA-cam to 2x speed, but have to bring it down to 1.5x or 1 depending on the technical nature of your content, but you do normally slow down for the technical details. It works though and there may even be psychological advantage to this technique - it's very easy to maintain focus.
Thanks for the video - can't wait to see your next discovery.
Rob, that was brilliant and impressive ! thanks a million for sharing your ideas and knowledge for free to public. you're DA best man !
cheers mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering Cheers Mate.
Straight forward, hands on, in front of the camera demonstration. Excellent 👍
cheers mate
What do you call a couple of scientists that do batteries together?
Cell mates.
lol, good one.
lol
Is that a current joke?
That is fantastic, great to see your progress in all these different areas. Wish you dig up even more great stuff! :D
cheers mate
Thanks Robert. You provide invaluable information and inspiration to so many who would otherwise not have such assets at their disposal.
cheers mate
love the work mate! keep on keeping on! to share is to share alike, too many want to keep their cards tight to their chest at the detrimement of the whole. one love :)
cheers mate
I keep looking for videos from you that give updates on past projects but sadly I cannot find them. Maybe you get bored, or never finish your projects but whatever the reason I do wonder what happened. Projects you started but I see no updates on... Manufacturing the paper battery. The little car that you were going take cross country. The hemp battery. The Cr32 format rechargeable button cells. Many others. Please follow through with grand status update on all past projects.
I live off grid in Colorado, and would love to implement your work into my battery bank. I currently use four 6V 240Ah batterries in series/parallel giving ~12V 480 Ah. Longevity, maintenance and toxicity are the prime issues. I am not set up to replicate your work on a large scale, but in your opinion - could this be done for ~ $2000 American? Being recharged by an 12 V charge controller off of a medium sized solar array?
Cheers, I love your work.
Thanks for sharing. Those solutions look really awesome. Tell us about the conductive plastic. Are you selling those too? And conductive throughout? So it's like a more robust form of graphfoil?
cheers mate and no i am afraid we aren't selling it
Very impresive and congratulations for your work. I appreciate the fact that you work on many areas in the same time with your batteries and supercapacitors. Can you, please, describe more the conductive plastic or how can we make it ourselves? Thank you for sharing your work!
its a carbon black filled polyethylene mate caplinq do it
@@ThinkingandTinkering thank you, what is caplinq?
it's a company mate - just do a google search
do you have a recipe for making electroclean solution?
20% HCI Solution
Man. These videos are really astounding! It’s really got me going, and I’ve already grabbed some materials to do some experimenting myself. I am curious about why you’re using tissue paper over a polypropylene or PTFE film? What makes the paper a better solution? Is it a trade off between voltage handling and energy density?
Beautiful presentation. Well done on all counts.
cheers mate
Great work again Rob! Thanks for sharing
cheers mate
Is it possible to just plate the current collectors onto the active carbon sheets? I’m thinking that it would give a good connection.
Dint expect Rowan Atkinson was gonna teach me nickel plating
That looked like a really nice finish. Will you be selling suitable power supplies as well Robert? And thanks for sharing :)
Superb ! Amazing what you keep on coming up with.
cheers mate
Surprised to hear you say about only four plating materials, then excluding gold (fair enough) but what about tin plating?
All my home made PCBs I used to tin plate just using tinning solution, a plating bath and NO electricity! Nothing easier!
Warming up the solution somewhat to around 40-50 °C will speed up the plating but I just used to leave it at room temp for around 10-15 minutes. Job done and also comes out more or less shiny.
After a fresh water wash and drying off that's all the processing required. A ten to 20 second rub with a polishing cloth will shine it up even more and makes soldering to the pads easier even than gold, especially with 60/40 solder.
Just tried buying the 3-pack and the website keeps saying 'Billing Province is not valid. Choose from ... Málaga ... ' yet my address has the province set as Málaga.
I was trying to pay with PayPal.
Can i just email you the details and you send me a paypal money request ?
sorry mate - emily runs the shop side - please email her at emily@fwgltd.co.uk
Hi @aga if you could email me the details of your order I can progress this for you. My email address is emily@fwgltd.co.uk. Many thanks, Emily.
Hi rob nice to see back on line after a long absence. Have you tried this method to attract/coated other elementals to stick to Graphene/lithium etc to super capacitors, or battery’s as an electrolyte, or as a thin coating on the separator. Could it be used for this In someway to benefit battery’s or capacitors.
dunno mate - i haven't tried it - wrth a try tho
Would it be attracted to grafoil and coat it. Are you limited in the number of metals that can used in electroplating. Could you used something like vanadium/lithium would the be attracted to any carbon surface and plate it. Would this mean you would not need to use a binder plus you know you have a ver even coating of the element you used. Could this reduce the manufacturing cost of battery’s or capacitor
i don't know mate - try it and see
8 th signals R. S. M would love your channel wanting more polishing done
ok - cheers
I would be more than happy to buy the kits if someone could point me to a video or whatever that would show me the specs on a finished device charging time amp hours voltage etc. I know you have put so much time in this and you deserve to be well compensated for your time in all of this but I need specs.
the kits are about experimenting mate - i have n idea what you will come up with as for a guide - there are videos
Hope the nickel donor material was pure as pure, or else you have possibly contaminated your nickel salt solution? keep up the good work.
it was pure mate - but cheers
@@ThinkingandTinkering All good. Thanks for persisting in this technology
cheers mate and thanks for the hint - it is appreciated and i forgot to say it inthe video - so folks - be warned lol
the sound is horrible :(
Try cleaning your ears some time. The sound is fine in my device.
@@tamaseduard5145 what?
The audio quality on your videos is getting even worse than some of your earlier videos, may I suggest you take a look at a youtube channel: Mr Carlson's Lab and ask him how his audio recording is always perfect.
mate - we're in a lab not a recording studio
Good show ole chap
cheers mate
Can one plate it with silver ?
these are zinc, copper and nickel solutions....we haven't done a silver one...at least not yet
Do you have solution for Silver plating???
Hi,
I know that this is an old post but If you look at his videos, I’ve seen an all purpose solution video that he made and he explains how to use the solution interchangeably, hope that helps 😊
Love It
cheers mate
Monetize and keep making frequent videos for an income
i think we need to mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering a comma would do you some good in that sentence LOL
no tin, for pcbs?
fraid not mate
Love your videos, but audio needs work, Robert!
Volume is fine, try turning it up on your end ;)
sorry mate - i agree with Karl - most comments now say audio is fine - it might wellbe aproblem your end
@@ThinkingandTinkering Not a level problem-just sounds echo-y :)
that's because it's a lab and not a sound studio mate
@@ThinkingandTinkering Actually my Volume is on 100% and i can barely hear you. Also the audio is out of sync with the video. (i'm using Asus laptop 2019)
I have just wasted 9:23 minutes of my life watching an infomercial.
Why don`t people watch their own videos. This guy for me spoke so quickly I had difficulty understanding him. I gave p
Can't understand a word your saying.
First
SO?
awesome lol
please don't be mean - i monitor this channel and remove mean comments and ban persistance meaness, My videos get a lot of views and folks compete to be the first - it's very nice they do that and kind of flattering - it is certainly not a reason for being mean
