Also Guys, thank you all very much for watching!
You can get heptane and diethyl ether which are both useful extraction solvents from distilling starting fluid
While fermenting urea gets broken down by bacteria - you might want to sterilize the container to preserve it for a longer time while collecting.
What are the decomposition products?
@@magicponyrides Ammonia and Fulminic Acid, if I recall correctly. The equation should be (NH2)2CO → HCNO + NH3
Of course, please correct me if I'm wrong.

@@me0101001000 Thanks!
Ive done some pee chemistry, the best solution to that issue is to freeze the pee in a chest freezer.
You know what they say: when life gives you lemons, pee on them and make quantum dots
If i had a nickel for every UA-cam chemist I watched extract urea from their pee, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
I have 3
Ibn Sina did it to discover phosphorus in 1213
14.7GB of piss boiling footage good lord there's websites you could sell that i think
You should definitely explore this topic further! Making different coloured quantun dots with natural or easily available materials!
I plan to record a video about different types of the quantum dots and showcase some nice observations I made along the way :)
Please !!
@@Amateur.Chemistry that'd be awesome, keep up the good work!!! Can't wait for the videos!
@@Amateur.Chemistry since heat favors elimination reactions do you think that using the microwave at a lower power level for a longer time or just drying it out without the microwave would form less double and triple bonds? Possibly adjusting the color?
@@Amateur.Chemistrysir love your video so much I made what you all made in your video I love your video more than Nile red and sir can I heat with blow torch I don't have microwave sir
Love from india
In classic amateur chemistry style he has made the most out there thing possible 😂
Following the path of the great Mr.Red, he would approve for sure
To do this, I quickly peed 500ml of urine into a beaker
You deserve a Nobel Pees Prize for your efforts
I love this video, it's a really cool example of microwave synthesis!
If the formic acid would evaporate during the process, I suggest trying to heat it in ethylene glycol under reflux, but it will take more time.
I've seen some process for making diaminofurazan by heating the reagents in ethylene glycol for hours. That substance was usually made by dehydration reaction in a hydrothermal reactor.
Thanks! I might give this method a try sometime :)
I nagrode najlepszego sąsiada dostaje ....
why is nobody talking about the fact that this guy said he collected around 4 litres of his pee over MONTHS? this is an abnormally small amount of pee for that much time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is slowly becoming polish nile red, count me in!
8:35 Forbidden coffee 💀
Your videos are getting better and better!
Thanks man, it's so nice to hear that from you :)
19:55 didn't expect to see a Cisowianka bottle in a chemistry video, a surprise to be sure but a welcome one. I'll be making quantum dots in the inorganic chemistry lab, at my university, next month and your video got me hyped even more
As someone who has done some pee chemistry. Get a chest freezer and freeze the pee, that way you avoid dealing with fermented pee which means less smells and no losses of urea to microorganisms and hydrolysis.
What papers did you use/refer in this?
taking cooking to new level making quantum dots in microwave from piss and lemons
For future microwave video content NileRed has a video on making plasma where be shows how a
There is actually a simple camera trick you can use to film through microwave screens. Steve Mould has a video about it called "How to film inside a microwave (two ways)"
Wouldn't it have been easier & less smelly to get the urea from Adblue ( diesel exhaust treatment) ?
It definitely would have been less smelly but I did this whole extraction just to show that its possible which doesn't mean that its in any way practical :)
4:14 the horrible future ahead of you combined with how adorable "begin the boiling" sounds when you say it is just cruel.
Excellent video 10/10
this has the energy of 2015 nilered and I mean that in the best kind of way, congrats on joining the youtube piss chemist club as well :3

I caught myself holding my nose while watching the video. 😂😂😂
Good for for you I wish I'd have done that before my sense of smell depleted!🤣😂
Nice video i have a suggestion. You tested the quantum dots with acids what about bases?
Great video. Thanks for doing it. Where are you from btw?
Thanks! I am from Poland
Try to make Quantum dots with tartaric acid and urea
7:50 forbidden coke
I noticed "cisowianka" and I knew that you are a pearson worth following
I'm watching this while eating cornbread at 1 AM
😅
I did research on carbon quantum dots like this, Citric acid and ammonium bicarbonate has a super high quantum yield (glows really bright). Totally awesome vid!
Two things I happen to have a bit of, please explain?
@@petevenuti7355 I believe it’s very similar to the formation of metalloid quantum dots, but citric acid serves as an effective starting material for making a conjugated system (which makes the quantum dots glow brightly). Adding ammonium Bicarbonate allows for further conjugation.
what is the ratio? is it the same and the microwave process is the same?
Nilered would be proud
When life gives you piss and lemons, make quantum dots
Beautiful !
Is this a pee to high explosive tutorial under cover ? anyway great video
Lol
Large plastoc container and some bellowed HVAC tubing attached to a blower could have just blown it all outside like a fume hood and saved you from having to burn your house down to get rid of the smell
You can also try ozone to get rid of it. Its probably not great for central AC, but get an Ozone generator with a pump and stick the tube into your AC return on a 40 minute timer and let the AC pump it into the whole house. Make sure you and your pets are not exposed to it
5:38 forbidden pepsi
I wonder if it is possible to use sodium formate or sodium acetate in the reaction to keep the acids from evaporating.
Oh boy. I guess the video's sponsor would have gladly provided any amount of urea to save your lab and sense of smell... :)
Having tried to use few months amount of own piss for chemistry experiment as child I commend your efforts and gag reflex.
The only issue with sugar quantum dots were contamination like mold or bacteria.
I can smell this video through the screen
Hello again :) @Amatuer.Chemistry . please can i request, as an amatuer (and many other amatuers) do a vid nobody has done. Nobody has done it. Please can you do a vid of vacuum pumps and their connections? What type of pump? tubes? oilless? or no?, names of different connectors?, pipe material to use?.. and importantly, when NOT and what NOT to use in terms of chems /reactions/temperatures etc. Please and thank you. Many thanks again :)
Could you make it in ampoules to test if red could be made?
so you're telling me quantum dots were this easy to make the whole time?
Yup. I was also amazed when I first found out :)
Can u Make it Lase ? .. and try methanol for solvent too
Can you link the papers that you used to plan the synthesis of quantum dots? I'm curious how the cientists discovered this procedure with these molecules. Thanks in advance.
If you get a blow torch you can turn your test tubes into ampules and then i brt you could make red ones with formic acid then break the ampules open when the reaction is complete
Maybe, but the pressure form the boiling formic acid would probably make the ampoules explode
Doesn't alot of chemicals react with Aluminum foil? It seems to be used in a ton of videos anyway so is there no danger from spills using it?
Also, was supposed to add it in my other comment...
In regards to changing the colour of the dots...
I know you experimented with a few different solvents etc.... But did you try different times/temps when cooking them in the microwave?
As from what I understand that would effect their size?
The videos I've been of people making cad based quantum dots, when they heated the mixture on the heating plate, the hotter it got.. the more the colour changed.
Just a thought 😎
what if you extract sulphur from bones
What about adding formate or acetate salt on top of the formic or acetic acid?
Best thumbnail ever?
that is very cool appreciate it
You can cut a hole in the mesh from the microwave as long as it is smaller than the wavelenght of the microwaves (2.4Ghz = 12cm) so cutting a hole 6x6cm is no problem :)
Or just drill a hole in the back so you can tape your phone to it. Works great!
Thanks for the tip, I will try to use it in future videos :)
Half a wavelength would still allow for transmission. I wouldn't go over 1/4 wavelength and even then it might be wise to do some calculations and take into account the evanescent waves before potentially placing anything sensitive too near the hole.
Being naturally derived and soluble in water, I wonder if it would kill a plant? Or make it glow?
Definitely should be a Things I Won’t Work With
Quantum piss spots is a more fitting name no? xD
Would not the Blue we use with Desiel engines be of use?
oh yes pee chemistry, the best kind of chemistry
Maybe I missed it, but did you try different citric acid, urea ratios?
Imagine if quantum dots were discovered by a crazy guy microwaving his pee and lemon juice
ah, following in NileRed's footsteps ;)
I like the microwave 5000 too, I have an idea where this name might have come from...
Are this Typ of Quantum dots suitable for dye Laser material?
English word for today - lant: "stale urine, formerly collected for its ammonium content, used esp in household cleaning and manufacturing processes".
I'm amazed you didn't use *diert* this time
Edit: dang it, you did use that word in the video
Phosphorus was discouvered by piss chmistry! Theres nothing wrong with piss chemistry!
Your quantum dots in water under ultraviolet light look like the several pieces of uranium glass dishwater I own also when exposed to ultraviolet light.
😂 I hope you're paying your dad well for all the repairs on that vacuum pump. You what you could do? Buy a new pump 😉😂 sorry. I couldn't help myself. Great videos mate 👍
I know that I could buy a new one but repairing this poor pump over and over had become somewhat of a tradition on this channel :)
Does anyone know why the carbon quantum dots fluoresce more strongly and intensely in ethanol than in water? Or does it just seem that way in the video?
Are you sure the original crude urea doesn't fluoresce? I mean it's pee and pee does from the proteins.
Amazing how pee and lemons can give a nobel prize.
Chemistry for the win my fellas.
First time seeing one of your videos and I think I might be here for awhile 😅
I feel like we are very like minded, I needed similar bits n pieces to try and make nitrogen doped titanium dioxide.... Of course I don't go to a chemical store... I go to the service station to buy a litre of AdBlue (Liquid Urea) and then to my garden shed to grab some liquid ammonium nitrate 😅🤭
bro got beef with pee
Może zamiast kwasów można użyć ich soli? Sole już nie są takie lotne.
Could you use urea and an Acid instead of nitric acid. Would Phosphoric acid or Hydrochloric acid work?
You need to check if those urea salts are soluble. Since virtually only nitric acid is used for the separation, I guess that's unfortunately the case.
how did you survive this? I tried it after I watched your video. I had urea and citric acid on hand, and just the microwave part smelled terrible af. 😅😅
edit: but it just worked, like Todd would say.
Ew did you wash it off the hand? Hope u r ok (and not stinky)
@@owlredshift Not this on hand it means I own the needed chemicals
edit: and I have the right tools and know how to handle it. I do chemistry as a hobby too.
@@Robin-sw1cc well but did it burn or feel gross or bad or anything, it's ok even professionals probably make mistakes sometimes
@@owlredshift Definition "on hand": 1. near to someone or something, and ready to help or be used if necessary: 2. near to someone or….
edit: you mean on MY hand
@@Robin-sw1cc no no no i want trying 2 be mean. sorry friend. This is my fault.look my advice is long time ago I tried one of those little hand grippy things, you squeeze em over and over. Got bored and I got some of those balls that you rotate around. they were metal and had dragons on em and made a come sound,,, got em at local SWAP MEAT 4 80 dollars The man selling said they were cursed. But on the end t he grippy thing was by far the best way to get better definition in hands. of course this is just me and an 'ectdoteal' as they say. Good luck with ur journey
I just finished a course on highschool chemistry (akin to AP Chemistry with ochem) how much more do I need to know to understand this video haha
I'm ready to donate my pee for discovery of wormholes 😂
Благодарю, опыт повторил ( не из мочи)) - получилось.
Putting the P in pigment :p
We need a piss collab with nile red
Gotta love the pee side of youtube
Привет из Москвы.
Спасибо.
Интересно, можно ли получить белый фосфор из мочи?
It is possible, as per the orginal Brandt's method. But since urine is over 95% water, and the phosphorus compounds are just a fractions of its dry mass, it's just not efficient.
Bones/ bone ash or phosphor fertilizers are a much better starting material.
sounds like it wasn't as environmentally friendly as you thought
man the nile red video was one thing but this video had me gagging ;_;
Bear Grylls will be proud of you!
Early bird comment xD
I wouldn’t use pee and lemon juice in it but for a tattoo how would they do?

OK... I thought you were niel red at first 😅

Hey, ur from Poland?
Yes
I highly question the claim of QD here. Sorry, it just seems far to likely that some florescent organic materials' were carried over or created as tar which would be expected given the purities involved and reaction conditions.
The products of the reaction are definitely quantum dots, it works that same with pure, lab grade chemicals and there are a lot of papers that support it.

hmm
Oh no piss chemistry
