When mercury gets mixed with gold the old time prospectors used to do the same thing to push the mercury out of the gold (but they used chamois leather not paper towel)
I was like, wait that works (it is a liquid so actually the only real reason I was so surprised is cause I thought the weight would make the towel break, but I forgot mercury is not water and doesn't weaken the paper towel as it goes through)
and cody acts like its nothing!! that blew my mind!!!!! i would think that mercury was too thick? dense? to make it through the tiny spaces between the paper towel weave

You can use this technique to "braze" some metals without heat, using a copper mercury amalgam. It's an ancient tech I had mediocre success with. I decided to quit doing mercury experiments, but happy you are willing to shed light.
And how advanced that technology needs to be to be indistinguishable depends on the intelligence of the one doing the distinguishing... as we've seen here, for some, something as simple as mercury amalgams will suffice.
@@argenteus8314 Has more to do with technological know-how rather than intelligence. Show something as simple as a radio to Rene Decartes and he would have lost his shit, even though he was quite a brilliant man.
@@Are_you_eyeballing_me But he wouldn't have thought it was magic, hopefully. If he was sufficiently intelligent, he'd wonder how it worked, but not conclude that the universe has no rules and that magic is real.
I was uploading the video and UA-cam was like "Hey we've selected you to be able to use this new thing, want to give it a spin" and I was like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Post Premiere Edit: I dont think I'll do it again unless the circumstance calls for it. It wasn't nearly as awesome as they described.
First pseudoscience tells me that mercury will give me autism. Now it tells me that mercury is a magic substance that will cure me of all diseases and bring me good luck. Figure that one out. Thanks so much for making this Cody! You're awesome
Not just regular, dangerous, mercury, mercury tightly locked in a compound that you only will get a few milligram dose every few years and will pass outside the body within minutes. But the massive chunk of mercury putty youre caressing with your hands every day for a ritual? That can only be beneficial right?
Just melt down lead on the indoor stove like I used to, hasn't done me any harm, I was fucked up before I started experimenting with chemicals and metals
@@Lilith-Rose it's not something I'd risk. Lead particulate gets stuck in every little corner. Even if it's in microscopic doses, it's still not something I'd want floating around where I live. I melt all my lead outside. I don't have a reason not to, unless it rains
@@TheFlipside aye I get that, that's what I tend to do when I can these days for larger batches, although I must admit that as a "passively suicidal" fairly heavy smoker with no outdoor space I'm not overly concerned about consequences especially when it's only a small melt or quick casting of a few ounces, I just make sure there's plenty of ventilation etc
@@Lilith-Rose yeah I definitely understand where you're coming from. But I'm 17 so still have quite a bit to lose from overexposure to lead, and I currently enjoy having all 5 senses working just fine :P Tho I don't get the chance to do this as much as I'd like. Even when I manage to save up enough for a good one or two pounds of lead or some cheap low melting point alloy, I have to work with cheap, constantly breaking equipment
In school, we had terrible chemistry teachers made me hate the subject so much for so many years. You managed to change my mind a bit. Although I wouldnt do experiments with it, my understanding is growing and i am liking it more and more. Thanks Cody for the science!
I’m a dental hygienist and yes amalgam fillings are still placed. They’re stronger than composites for larger fillings or when the tooth can not be kept dry (composite fillings will not adhere to the tooth if saliva is present).
When I heard Cody talk about fillings, I instantly researched it. Yeah. It's still used. I have 4 of them... One of them recently. I haven't gone insane yet, so I guess we're good!
I can second that. The longevity per cost for amalgam, especially for the large fillings, is very appealing. I'm told they're more prone to being sensitive while they're still green, but I don't think I've ever had issues. I will say though, eating acidic foods with a fresh amalgam filling tastes pretty terrible.
Dream Services International Amalgam restorations don’t tend to crack under thermal loads like composites. When a composite restoration is cured under UV light, it shrinks a bit. This can lead to small fissures where microleakage of bacteria can set up decay underneath the restoration. There is some evidence to suggest that amalgam acts as a pathogen killing agent where if there is micro leakage around the restoration, bacteria won’t flourish unlike composites. Also, amalgam tends to expand a bit as it transitions from plastic to solid phase.
@@il_vero_saspacifico6141 Agreed, I don't understand comments that just quote the video. As if everyone needs to be told what they have just watched...Thanks, if you didn't quote that specific part of the video I'd have completely missed it! They're just hungry for likes.
5:54 I'm glad you mentioned that because my thought was that it's just a paste formed of a liquid and a powder, which can be done with any liquid and powder (e.g. flour and water). It's what happens later that makes it solid, as you showed.
*Pre premier* I for one think premiering a video is a great idea. It brings in the community to chat before, and more likely after, the video "airs". Though I also agree its best used for feature videos, not every upload. Obviously Cody just wanted to test this and I reckon the audience engagement for this vid will be one of the highest he has. Everyone has the right to their own opinion but I'd like to point out that this is a test, and what do we love Cody for? Testing things.
I have an extension (VidIQ) that will calculate the engagement percentage of a video. This one falls into Incredible - 15%+. For a big channel with a popular video - that is amazing.

A couple of years ago while Scott Manley was streaming his UA-cam stream key was shown by accident. This allowed anyone to stream as him using his channel.

About the copper precipitation with ascorbic acid. You can vastly improve the yield if you react the copper sulfate with excess amonia and then add the ascorbic acid and some heat (I used a double boiler). If the concentration of the reactants is low enough and you also add a bit of antifreeze you can make copper nano particles that way.
@@vidhipatel9045 I am a bit too lazy for that and my english pronunciation is terrible. If you are really interested I can give you more details and I also have some pictures of when I did it 6 years ago. My goal was making thermal paste and maybe conductive paint. I did make thermal epoxy with a 50% copper loading if I recall correctly. It wasn't electrically conductive but initially its thermal conductivity was great however it degraded tremendously in a couple of months. I used it to glue the aluminium fins of a thermaltake sonic tower to the copper heatpipes and although I saw an initial drop in temps of about 10ºC once the nanoparticles oxidized it was essentially ruined and temperatures increased by about 30ºC vs the stock heatsink. Another problem was that one of the parts of the unused epoxy that was left in the syringe polymerized without ever touching the other part so it couldn't be stored either. I also had a lot of trouble separating the nanoparticles from the liquid medium, they would go straight trough any filters I had and the only way I could filter them was cardboard but the liquid would take days to go through and by that time they would be oxidized black, a small amount of HCL could remove the oxide layer and I would wash it with ethanol+ascorbyl palmitate to keep them shiny but there was no way for me to clean them well. A centrifuge would be needed and I suspect that even if purified correctly they would still oxidize when in use. Silver would likely work better (might need to tweak the reaction) but the cost advantage is lost and there is already plenty of silver compounds in the market.
Almost the same method was used thousands of years back to make RASA LINGA (LORD SHIVA LINGAM) in India by SIDDAS AND RUSHIS we can see these things live till date
Thanks for this demo, it does demystify. However, I am sure sadhguru mentioned that ancient Indians used to solidify Mercury, of course by using copper amalagams. Even in the video he was using a copper plate. The point i think he was trying to make is to show that ancient Indians knew some sophisticated chemistry imho. I don't think he is claiming that it is his magical powers that do that.
In the video, he literally claims what he is doing is impossible according to modern chemistry. This is an outright lie, unless he's completely ignorant of chemistry and is merely copying ancient methods (in which case he's still BSing, because he has no idea what he's talking about yet he's speaking as if he were an authority). If the second case is true, he really needs to watch this video!
The Premiere "feature" isn't going over as well as hoped. I've run into a few where the comments were overwhelmed with people pissed off that a "new video" showed up in their notifications that wasn't available to watch when clicked on.
the way that the mercury squeezes through that filter making that rain of tiny little mercury globs is more fascinating than the semi-solid mercury itself :D I'd gladly watch some more of that cool little effect.
I think that that is similar material to that in an over temp shut off device that they used to use in tobacco barns in the 60's. two hooks were molded into a slug that had cables attached to them that when the slug melted (the barns would get to 300°F or so, so they had to melt at just over 400°F) it would turn off the oil feed to the burners. Good video ! Tootles... Wade
You don't need to wear gloves when handling Mercury. It's the fumes you should avoid. Unless you have any type of cut on your hand. Including torn hangnails.
Dude I think it’s a cultural misunderstanding. When Sadhguru says solidifying mercury at room temperature, he is not talking about making a mercury compound. He is talking about making the pure mercury element solid at room temperature. What you did is add another metal to it which changed it properties. What we do is make it solid without changing its chemical composition. We have done it for thousands of years for certain purposes. Misunderstandings are the reason invaders destroyed cultures and temples.
@@tamilmysticssamoogam2993 You've misunderstood the purpose of this video by assuming that the Sadguru is always honest and right. Cody is debunking the bluff of the fraud baba. If that alleged Godman has that knowledge of solidifying 'pure' mercury on his palm then why hasn't he evinced that in front of scientists? You know, he can't. Because he's a Con-man.
F A B what Sadhguru is capable of or not is not your business, nor is it mine. It is a fact that solidified mercury has been used in thousands of temples in Tamil Nadu. And this Video is simply showing making a mercury compound which has different physical properties than pure mercury while claiming to make mercury solid at room temperature.
@@tamilmysticssamoogam2993 Okay, then why don't they teach the procedure of mystically 'solidifying' mercury at room temperature? Why people like you take religious bullshit at face value? Ask questions or people like Jaggi and 'golden egg puking' Satya sai will make a fool out of you.

You should just premier all the videos YouYube doesn't allow and then remove them afterwards. That way you still get donation money but UA-cam doesn't have time to hit you with channel strikes while it's live.
@@YodaWasSith Well, depending on how -bad- good the video is, it may only have been demonetized but that wouldn't matter too much cause he'd have gotten donation money.
Well, not only do I believe that this would result in losing streaming ability, but I also believe it'd result in a strike/possibly termination of the account. You're still violating ToS and it's not hard to see that. That's not even mentioning the people who literally just run around reporting streams/videos because they're bored. Not sure why they do it but even on this video, there were 20 people who disliked the video before it was up for a minute. You're gonna light up like a Christmas tree as soon as you start streaming unallowable content, and if the algorithms don't take the stream down, then surely active moderation will.
They _do_ use 'em in teeth nowadays! I just had a Mercury amalgam a few months ago. They wear well and the gamma of the alloy keeps improving to allow the use of less Mercury.
I can see this being pretty usefull in some field repairs of electronics. Not sure of the alloys resistance but it seems like you could do a room temperature "solder joint" and let it harden over night.

@Sangita Singh yes that small amount makes it a compound. Yogis make pure mercury into solid.. Not by adding anything. Its very common in south India and south Indian temples. If you don't know about it, I can't help you. Read up rasavaidhya
Sadhguru is not adding anything to the mercury in the video. Original full length video of the consecration is available on UA-cam. Why don't you watch it before typing?
@Sangita Singh lol I'm exposed? What is exposed is your ignorance. When did he say add things to copper to make it solid???? Give me proof. Show me one place where he says add something to mercury to make it solid.
He was doing it for real.😒 But I won't insist you to believe that, don't believe, you just do One Thing! Take a camera with you and also youur Cody if you want, He will show it to you again, and you then can see it to your own eyes. And how come This Cody is using Amalgam and made it to Mercury. Where SG made actual liquid mercury to solid Mercury, and even touch it with his hand. Don't even think saying, "because he is a fraud", because first, he is not, second, you don't know that!
@@tiedeman39 Proving in the sense, if only Sadhguru can't do the same infront him. He should go there, and watch for himself. Better than watching it on videos, right? If He can he may take some of the best scientists with him. And as soon as possible I would say, because the dude is already old, and in few years after a certain project he is doing, he will take Mahasamadhi, means he will left his body. The truth should be out before that in the public's naked eyes for better understandings for everyone, right? Because one thing I know about science is nothing is impossible. Just cause this dude couldn't in the existing way that should be done, doesn't mean it can't be done. Isn't it? Noone in the time of Galileo, Copernicus ever believed Earth was round and it was Earth that circling around Sun, right? This network we are using, just a century ago was something out of fantasy books. So go out there and proof it wrong. You may go too, if you want to. If it would've been in my hand, I would liked personally tour him and you there. But unfortunately I can't in this point of time.
Edit: Come to think of it, it might be pretty interesting to see a video on the mechanical/thermal properties of different amalgams. And you definitely seem to have enough metals floating around to compare all sorts of blends. Original: Actually, dental amalgams are still pretty common for molar restorations, where the color difference isn't a concern. Gonna get a chuckle later. Next time I eat something, I'll have to remember that it took multiple "miracles" to chew it.

the way that the mercury squeezes through that filter making that rain of tiny little mercury globs is more fascinating than the semi-solid mercury itself :D I'd gladly watch some more of that cool little effect.
Best premier since Halo 2
I have a question: when it welded to itself at the end of the video, did you scrape the oxidized layer off? Or it didn't care?
Thanks So much for Sharing this!!
I think that that is similar material to that in an over temp shut off device that they used to use in tobacco barns in the 60's. two hooks were molded into a slug that had cables attached to them that when the slug melted (the barns would get to 300°F or so, so they had to melt at just over 400°F) it would turn off the oil feed to the burners. Good video ! Tootles... Wade
Scientific curiosity: "Maybe I can use this for something."
You don't need to wear gloves when handling Mercury. It's the fumes you should avoid. Unless you have any type of cut on your hand. Including torn hangnails.
I'm going to have to try this now.
That stir bar is neat!
*MIAOW* “urgh there’s a cat on me” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Internet claims solid mercury at room temperature is magic...
*Cody*
“Hold my beer”
Hold my mercury
Dude I think it’s a cultural misunderstanding. When Sadhguru says solidifying mercury at room temperature, he is not talking about making a mercury compound. He is talking about making the pure mercury element solid at room temperature. What you did is add another metal to it which changed it properties. What we do is make it solid without changing its chemical composition. We have done it for thousands of years for certain purposes. Misunderstandings are the reason invaders destroyed cultures and temples.
@@tamilmysticssamoogam2993 You've misunderstood the purpose of this video by assuming that the Sadguru is always honest and right. Cody is debunking the bluff of the fraud baba. If that alleged Godman has that knowledge of solidifying 'pure' mercury on his palm then why hasn't he evinced that in front of scientists?
You know, he can't. Because he's a Con-man.
F A B what Sadhguru is capable of or not is not your business, nor is it mine. It is a fact that solidified mercury has been used in thousands of temples in Tamil Nadu. And this Video is simply showing making a mercury compound which has different physical properties than pure mercury while claiming to make mercury solid at room temperature.
@@tamilmysticssamoogam2993 Okay, then why don't they teach the procedure of mystically 'solidifying' mercury at room temperature? Why people like you take religious bullshit at face value? Ask questions or people like Jaggi and 'golden egg puking' Satya sai will make a fool out of you.
your videos are amazing man
I love this dude’s videos, I just get so interested❤️👌
Make a mould of a key with this stuff
Let’s see if we can get to 200 likes on the vid before it starts
Cody & Mercury, the greatest love affair that UA-cam has ever seen !!
Thanks for this useful post
Indians knew doing this thousands of years before
If not millions
True
Nature Did it Before the Indians
@@agent1787 🤣🤣🤣🤣 we are talking about humans here. Because you people belong to flat earth society. You are gelous of hindus Knowledge and science we get it. Dont cry darling.
Islam or Christainity ki ma chod ne wala lol why tf r u so toxic
"mreow!" "Ah... there's a cat on me" hahaha!
Interesting presentation. Excellent explanation
I love cody’s lab
Thanks for the tutorial, now all my family and friends can be blessed with the luck of Parad Shivalinga without the expense
Cody! You Better not be Gassing us up.
Wish there was more content uploaded. Love these videos so much..
Perfect and fantastic !
4:56 "The Most Satisfying Video" content right there
"There's a cat on me" - Cody's Lab
That is insanely cool
Very good experience Cody I love you
You should do a video series that focuses on debunking pseudoscience. I bet that would be a hit!
"There it is, a solid chunk of mercury-copper (& cat hair) amalgam." :) The magic is in the cat hair. My house is extra magical right now.
i always love your videos
Super cool demonstration, thanks for sharing! (Your cat thought it was pretty cool too lol. Gotta love cats, always trying to be such good little "helpers"!)
You should just premier all the videos YouYube doesn't allow and then remove them afterwards. That way you still get donation money but UA-cam doesn't have time to hit you with channel strikes while it's live.
How to lose streaming ability on UA-cam: A comprehensive guide^
@@YodaWasSith Well, depending on how -bad- good the video is, it may only have been demonetized but that wouldn't matter too much cause he'd have gotten donation money.
Well, not only do I believe that this would result in losing streaming ability, but I also believe it'd result in a strike/possibly termination of the account. You're still violating ToS and it's not hard to see that. That's not even mentioning the people who literally just run around reporting streams/videos because they're bored. Not sure why they do it but even on this video, there were 20 people who disliked the video before it was up for a minute. You're gonna light up like a Christmas tree as soon as you start streaming unallowable content, and if the algorithms don't take the stream down, then surely active moderation will.
Ive never seen a premier on UA-cam?
Damn that thing looks stronger than a rock, cody is legendary!
chemistry is pretty wild, man
did you see AvE's latest chickadee engineering video? it'd be fun to do the same thing with your bees! Maybe find a queen to make see through!
IM SO PUMPED!
XD
thank you for your videos, i like them
They _do_ use 'em in teeth nowadays! I just had a Mercury amalgam a few months ago. They wear well and the gamma of the alloy keeps improving to allow the use of less Mercury.
"Aww, found a wrench"
*Uses fingers to open nut*
yeah. break the bolt, then its so much faster to use your fingers
“There’s a cat on me”
I can see this being pretty usefull in some field repairs of electronics. Not sure of the alloys resistance but it seems like you could do a room temperature "solder joint" and let it harden over night.
I like how your brain works. Keep it up!
What devilry is this?
You know Cody, if you did a live stream of one of your experiments loads of people would tune in and watch. I think you should do it!
Good job, Cody. This video has raised the mercury levels of the followers.
Your so freaking knowledgeable, working with you would be awesome
I love Cody's retort... "Well actually I can explain that pretty easily" 😂

@Sangita Singh yes that small amount makes it a compound. Yogis make pure mercury into solid.. Not by adding anything. Its very common in south India and south Indian temples. If you don't know about it, I can't help you. Read up rasavaidhya
@Sangita Singh ignorance of something cannot be a proof of non existence. If you don't know about yoga and yogis don't talk about them
Sadhguru is not adding anything to the mercury in the video. Original full length video of the consecration is available on UA-cam. Why don't you watch it before typing?
@Sangita Singh lol I'm exposed? What is exposed is your ignorance. When did he say add things to copper to make it solid???? Give me proof. Show me one place where he says add something to mercury to make it solid.
The guy literally touched the clay-like mercury
He was doing it for real.😒
But I won't insist you to believe that, don't believe, you just do One Thing!
Take a camera with you and also youur Cody if you want, He will show it to you again, and you then can see it to your own eyes.
And how come This Cody is using Amalgam and made it to Mercury.
Where SG made actual liquid mercury to solid Mercury, and even touch it with his hand.
Don't even think saying, "because he is a fraud", because first, he is not, second, you don't know that!
@@pallavsarkar2818 Wow, that's pretty desperate. Like most fanatics and zealots.
@@chocolate_squiggle
I challenge you to come and proof it WRONG!😒
@@pallavsarkar2818 Did you not watch the video? He just did
@@tiedeman39
Proving in the sense, if only Sadhguru can't do the same infront him. He should go there, and watch for himself. Better than watching it on videos, right?
If He can he may take some of the best scientists with him.
And as soon as possible I would say, because the dude is already old, and in few years after a certain project he is doing, he will take Mahasamadhi, means he will left his body.
The truth should be out before that in the public's naked eyes for better understandings for everyone, right?
Because one thing I know about science is nothing is impossible.
Just cause this dude couldn't in the existing way that should be done, doesn't mean it can't be done. Isn't it?
Noone in the time of Galileo, Copernicus ever believed Earth was round and it was Earth that circling around Sun, right?
This network we are using, just a century ago was something out of fantasy books.
So go out there and proof it wrong. You may go too, if you want to.
If it would've been in my hand, I would liked personally tour him and you there. But unfortunately I can't in this point of time.
2:18 gorgeous color.
💙❄️🌨️🌧️
Edit: Come to think of it, it might be pretty interesting to see a video on the mechanical/thermal properties of different amalgams. And you definitely seem to have enough metals floating around to compare all sorts of blends.
Original: Actually, dental amalgams are still pretty common for molar restorations, where the color difference isn't a concern. Gonna get a chuckle later. Next time I eat something, I'll have to remember that it took multiple "miracles" to chew it.
