That's what I was thinking too, I would be interested to see if he could get higher filter qualities out of the charcoal by being selective with his starting material, rather than doing the extra work to 'activate' it.
My thought was actually using that pith for building electrodes -- either a superconductor or carbon battery. It'd be cool to get a closer look at the structure with a microscope so we can see exactly how porous it is.
Even I am missing some videos. For instance there was one where I came to class late (after getting there early to set up camera) and fixed a squeaky door in front of everyone. I thought it was a pretty cool video but when I went looking for it yesterday it was gone. I dont have a copy anywhere so its like it never happened.
@@theCodyReeder Maybe it'd be in your browser history if you had it unlisted somewhere? It gets difficult to keep track of everything once it all piles up anyways.
@@zedg7473 Yeah charcoal takes thousands or tens of thousands of years to break down naturally, so if he buries it it will either be carbon neutral or slightly carbon negative.
Pretty lucky to have parents that support all of the cool stuff you do. I think about that every time your dad makes an appearance. I'm sure they never expected to raise a celebrity, but I think we all know they are damn proud of you.

I haven't looked, but I'm willing to bet no one else on UA-cam, or possibly the entire internet, has ever said the hardwood charcoal tastes so much better than sunflower charcoal. Lol, I love these charcoal videos.
Could planting/caring for the native sunflowers help stop erosion and just overall be good for the soil and animals? All as part of the reforesting the ranch project?
They're great at soil remediation but for your purpose, it would probably make more sense to use a nitrogen fixing cover crop that's edible (like clovers).
@@ClareAndAlec it was just a thought because they seem to already grow there abundantly. I'm certain there are crops that are strategically more useful but then you have to plant and care for them again.
after 2:56 when he pauses after mentioning that the sunflower stalks are kind of like bone marrow, Cody is definitely considering what might happen if he tried to charcoal bones.
when i was in college we carburized some steel, its a similar process to what your doing. you seal a low carbon steel in a box of charcoal and heat it and it introduces carbon into the steel. but whats weird is that the steel would get that gold blue coloration to it similar to those sunflower stalks. it didn't have the color all over. it was very splotchy.
I never thought in my life that I would be curious about charcoal and how it feels or tastes. Cody, you can make anything into an interesting and captivating subject. What's next? Charcoal infused cookies? Can this happen
Cody, the colored tint to the charcoal is probably Thin Film Interference from a very small amount of leftover volatiles that didn't manage to boil off during the pyrolysis. If that's not it, it could be a refraction effect from the left-over hair like fibers on the outside of the stalks. If it's the hairs, you'd be able to wipe it off pretty easily.
You are the best youtuber ever in my opinion! Im always super excited to watch your content whenever something new (and old content) from you pops up! Great and creative work as always Cody! :)
Random guy, "What's in the bag?" Cody, "I'm on a detox diet." R.G. "So what's in the bag?" Cody, "My snacks!" R.G. "What snacks?" Cody, (Procedes to pull a piece of charcoal and eats some) "why? Did you want some?"
Couldn't think of anything to comment so here's a recapie for pancakes all-purpose flour 2 tbsp. sugar 2 1/2 tsp. Baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/4 c. milk or buttermilk 3 tbsp butter, melted 1 large egg vegetable oil for brushing pan In large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, butter and, egg; stir until flour is moistened. Heat frying pan over medium heat until drop of water sizzles; brush lightly with oil. In batches, scoop batter by scant 1/4-cupfuls into skillet, spreading to 3 1/2 inches each. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly and edges are dry. With a spatula , turn; cook 2 minutes more or until golden. Transfer to platter or keep warm on a cookie sheet in 225°F oven.Repeat with remaining batter, brushing pan with more oil if necessary Enjoy
1) With as porous as it is, it seems like it could make a good filter 2) Certainly the gold color is some thin coating. Are there shellacs lacquers, or oils that can survive the char-coaling temperature? Certainly some oxides would.
People talked about unlisted videos up above, for the record there used to be an archive of removed/unlisted videos (complied by fans) on the codyslab subreddit. It should still be there, including a personal favorite video demonstrating copper thermite.
I think that gold tinge might be from the Sunflower oil that may have been leftover in the stalk, I know even when I burn dead ones they bubble sometimes! And the oil is very gold colored!
The goldish tint, my guess would be that the oils contained in sunflower plants is the reason for the goldish tint, as i think the oils evaporated under the temperature and because the oil vapour could not escape, kinda turned into carbon while "condensing" on the fiberous charcoal of the actual plant?
At first there was gold obsession and Cody ended up trying to eat it. Then there was mercury obsession and Cody ended up trying to drink it. Now he has charcoal obsession and he is trying to eat it. Please chose your next obsession carefully.
Hey Cody, Maybe the golden taint of the sunflower charcoal could come from the pigments, possibly because the heat required for it to burn away is higher than the heat reached in the barrel.
The colors on the stalks could be a form of thin film interference, like the colors of tempering metal, titanium oxide, and oil on water. Others mentioned the high oil content, and I have to agree that it's probably related to the oil, and its decomposition products, but the fact that its not just gold, but can form many colors makes me think that its depositing a film on the stalks during the process, and the different thicknesses are causing the different colors
Hey Cody, the colors look like the thin film effect from the oils baking out of the plant matter. It's the same reason soap bubbles or oil slick has color, and also the same reason temper colors in steel look the way they do. That's my bet at least. EDIT: Because the taste was bitter, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some residual tarry substances that cause the flavor and colors. You can also see the blues and purples when you and your dad were picking at the barrel earlier in the video.
Anybody else have visions of Cody chilling on the couch at the end of the day, with a big ol bowl of hardwood charcoal? “Cody’s hardwood, taste the farm”
Oils render, they turn into more complex tars. I think that explains the golden discolouration you've noticed. Imagine baking some potatoes, or chicken, or pizza, or pretty much anything... after a while the tin you bake on appears to be covered in some tough-to-remove golden layer, which will turn brown or black if it becomes thick enough. It's the oil.
You have observed a sheen on a charcoal before. My guess would be oils. However, I don't know much about this. Out of curiosity, I have asked chatgpt what it thinks the sheen might be. Here are its possible suggestions: 1) Mineral Content: Plants accumulate various minerals from the soil, which can affect the coloration of their ash or charred remains. Sunflower stems might have a higher concentration of certain minerals, like potassium or magnesium, which can impart a golden sheen when charred. 2) Silica Content: Sunflower stems are known to have a relatively high silica content. Silica (SiO₂) can form a glass-like coating when heated to high temperatures, potentially contributing to a sheen. 3) Lignin and Cellulose Composition: The cell structure of sunflower stems, primarily composed of cellulose and lignin, may also play a role. Upon charring, the unique breakdown of these compounds might result in a sheen due to the formation of graphitic structures or other carbon-based compounds with reflective properties. 4) Oil Residues: Sunflowers are oil-rich plants, including their stems to a lesser extent compared to the seeds. Some of this oil might not fully combust during the charring process and instead transform into a thin, carbonized layer that reflects light differently than pure carbon, giving a sheen appearance.
The gold is probably due to a pack of multiple thin (semi)transparent charcoal layers. You get an interference stack, just like stacking sheets of thin plastic. It can create all kinds of colours and a metallic look.
My guess on the gold colors is small amounts of unreacted stalk and combusted stalk. The heat transfer in that barrel system is probably not great with how little surface area is present on the outside relative to the volume of packed airy sunflowers. There could be pockets of cooler air (still hot) that don't carbonize some of the more stable molecules. Also there is no way you got all the oxygen out of the barrel so actual combustion products are likely present. Qualifications: B.S. Chem Engineering and B.A. Biochemistry
I’d imagine a ton of the charcoal you’re making would be very interesting to use as a drawing material. I wonder if the golden gloss on that sunflower stalk would actually appear gold-ish or just look like a strange kind of vine charcoal.
You should try to Charcoal Hemp sticks, some varieties grow very thick stems and they are quite dense and fibrous, plus they grow very quick and only in one season
YES!!!! LATE CARBONIFEROUS PARK IS STILL ALIVE!!!! I requested an update on the one year anniversary but that came and went. Any chance of an update video soon? Are the invertebrates any larger in the high o2 environment?
I suspect this charcoal will burn a lot quicker and not produce much ambers, since as I understand it, it has much more surface area, and it is less dense than hardwood charcoal. I wish you tested it, like burned one piece of sunflower charcoal next to a piece of hardwood charcoal

hey cody, the charcoaled pith might have a high internal surface area just like activated charcoal
That's what I was thinking too, I would be interested to see if he could get higher filter qualities out of the charcoal by being selective with his starting material, rather than doing the extra work to 'activate' it.
Thinking that too, but probably would be much better at getting to use all the surface area, simply because of the more open cellular structure.
I was wondering about that too. Also how it would compare to willow charcoal in black powder.
I was thinking too, about fluctuations in quantum fields
My thought was actually using that pith for building electrodes -- either a superconductor or carbon battery. It'd be cool to get a closer look at the structure with a microscope so we can see exactly how porous it is.

@@theCodyReeder I would love to see that. Sad times
sunflower seeds are high in oil, ~50% in dry weight, maybe the oil is the reason for colouration
I was just thinking that. Some kind of polymerization similar to what happens with a seasoned cast-iron pan.
No it's from the sun.
probably that. Didn't he get something similar when charring softwood (juniper, IIRC). 580nm or so, for the gold.
RBuckminsterFuller once I saw that coloration on the charcoal I also instantly thought of seasoned cast iron pans. Makes sense.
i was thinking it was a thin film of gold deposited
Given the high porosity of this char, would it be a better filter medium?
I can definitely taste the potassium in it.

way off topic but i Think a minecraft wither rose looks similar to this. it could be craftable by smelting a regular rose.
The gold is probably due to a pack of multiple thin (semi)transparent charcoal layers. You get an interference stack, just like stacking sheets of thin plastic. It can create all kinds of colours and a metallic look.

Cody you should do this with some almonds just so you can say "this really activates my almonds" when they are being charcoaled.
It's never truly charcoal until Cody taste tests it.
Gold slick is probably just natural oils in the sunflower that cause a oil sheen. Probably similar to how motor oil on a wet road is a rainbow color
YES!!!! LATE CARBONIFEROUS PARK IS STILL ALIVE!!!! I requested an update on the one year anniversary but that came and went. Any chance of an update video soon? Are the invertebrates any larger in the high o2 environment?
