In today's video, I'll be making a DIY Automatic Melting-point apparatus! This device easily and automatically finds the melting points of compounds which is very useful in the field of chemistry as an easy and cheap way of characterizing compounds!
Enjoy! :)

Cheap thermocouples can be off as much as 5C. Pt100 and pt1000 are easy to use and once calibrated (water and tin for a two point calibration)
Hopefully he is aware that thermocouples don't measure temperature, but only a difference instead. Therefore it is mandatory to have second sensor of different type at cold side, to accurately measure room temperature.
Damn, nice job. It looks like something you could buy. I like the night time projects with the crickets in the background.
oh the hero is back
Wouldn’t call myself a hero lol
@@PyrotechnicalScience just who else'd sacrifice his wellbeing to spread information and make poison using old recipes?
This is real cool, it's sad to see the video has so few views 😞
Way underrated channel. That's one of the most impressive things I've seen from sciencetube.
5:12 you got soooo lucky I'm glad you're okay!
I cringed right before that as while I'm not too experienced with chemistry and all the dangers etc.
I am pretty experienced using power tools. The fact that the part and the drill bit did not hit you is sooo lucky my friend. Also, surprised the bit only bent and didn't snap.
I absolutely love your channel. Youve helped inspire me to enjoy chemistry again
Glad I did!
This is really cool! I definitely need to find someone in my area who knows electronics and coding. Between something like this and the Birkland Eyed (or however you spell it) reactor I want to make, all I really need help with is the electronics part.
I’m working on making a schematic and a list of parts and the source code so anyone can hopefully recreate! Soon as I get that done I’ll let you know!
@@PyrotechnicalScienceawesome, that’s really cool of you! Thanks.
@@PyrotechnicalScience That sounds awesome. It really looks like a fun project.
Hey there!
Professional painter and amateur paint maker/art historian here! I left a comment on your arsenic/Scheele’s green/Paris Green video, but I wasn’t sure how to get in contact with you any other way but through comments, lol. If you would ever be interested in doing a collab, I would really love to mull some proper arsenic paint for ya! I have a channel based about art, color theory, and historic paint pigments, so I think that it would be really fun! We’ve accrued about 23.75 million views so far (in the past six months, I’m a pretty new channel) and I would be super happy to promote your channel too- I’m obsessed with chemistry and art! :) let me know- no pressure, just thought it would be fun!

I've been wondering if anyone was going to do a professional mulling with their pigments. This could be a cool collab to see, he's a pretty congenial lad. I'm sure he'll get to your comment at some point, but he's also frequently active on his community page. PoorMansChemist and some others have done Scheele's, Paris, and others too, just in case you're not already aware of that.
Where can I found the code? And that s a type e thermocouples ?
Also would like to take a closer look at the schematic
Currently working on a schematic which I’ll post and let you know!
Really cool !!
Where did you get that fibre optic cable, I’ve been looking for a while, and all the ones with a metal constructions with threaded ends are above the 100 dollar range
Got it on eBay for only like 15$, search high temp fiber optic I see one for like 16ish dollars, hope that helps!
i thought the 5v was 5v power out. Arduino can handle 15V if i remember correctly
You can power the ardunio through the 5v out pins if your using a regulated 5v supply
@@PyrotechnicalScience i suppose ya can but kind of defeats the point of the arduino's on board regulator . a better IMO option is to run the hole system from 12V into the Arduinos power jack and external regulators to run the external electronics. would be good for this system, you would have 12v for the relays the heater and light and use a 5V regulator for the LCD , keypad thermocouple. the arduino's onboard regulator can only supply a few hundred mA so not great to hang too much off it . meh great project all the same
So cool ❤❤
I like your creativity and your hands-on approach. Also, making a proof of concept prototype, as you did, is the right way to go, before tackling a more finished product.
However, you really need to brush up a bit on your camera skills. Your sound is either too weak or too indistinct (your diction isn't always understandable I'm sorry to say), and the image is making me a bit nauseous by your sudden camera moves. Please invest in a (cheap) camera tripod. Here's another tip, if a shot didn't work out too well, just shoot it again. It'll save you quite a bit of editing afterwards and it'll make your videos much more enjoyable.
Cheers for your effort. Happy holidays ! Thanks for sharing your video :)
