I've been binging hours of Cody's older videos, like the older refining videos, and I've learned 2 things. One: I've been watching your videos for a lot longer than I've thought, and Two: I've remembered why I love your videos so much. Your content has made me a smarter person over the years, and has helped me realize my love of science. I've always loved science, and your videos have been an outlet for that. I'm still young, I've got my whole life ahead of me and can still make choices about what I'm going to do with it, and these videos have helped me figure out what career in science that I'd like to go into. Please, never change Cody. Keep making videos. I'm just one of the many people whose lives have been changed by your content, and I'm sure many people have similar stories to mine.
I don’t have a witty comment about the piece of glass and using the iodine on the cut, but small things like that are part of the character of this channel that I love so much.
We tried to do the same thing in chemistry class, but for us it didnt work anywhere near as good as for you. Still not sure if we did something wrong or just had the wrong kind of seaweed :/
Check out Cody's 2nd channel CodysBlab to see the less impressive results using a different type of seaweed (Nori). The amount of iodine by species is pretty different. Also he uses 2 kg? in this video, thats a fairly large amount of seaweed i think.
Hey Cody! I'm a freshman biochemistry major in college and in class we discussed acid equilibrium with relation to solubility and precipitation, and I instantly thought of your precious metal recovery series when you used strong acids to make precious metal solutions and purify the gold or silver! Thanks for making great content!
So stoked to see comments like this ! Go check out nile red too he's another guy that might inspire you guys too .. ane if Cody sees this *tips hat ,good work as usual dude !

+electronicsNmore: In U235 fission reactors, Iodine 131 forms among many other nuclides when U235 fissions. In order to extract the I 131, they heat uranium oxide fuel elements in a container. The elemental iodine vaporizes and solidifies on the container calls. One of the big problems for reactors is when there is a leak. Iodine easily escapes since it vaporizes easily, even at room temperature. They give the population potassium iodide pills (KI). The idea is that our body uses the non radioactive I 127 for making the 2 hormones in the goiter instead of I 131. I 131 is used as a radioactive tracer to detect goiter problems. The half-life is 8 days. It might be difficult to detect the I 131 by now.
Well, you can extract starch from flour and nitrate it with the usual mix of acids the same way you do with cellulose. You can probably guess how that behaves
@Hernando Malinche There are many types of rocket fuel. The simplest combination is oxygen + hydrogen, but many high-energy chemicals have been tested and used as such.

Hey Cody, I must say your videos have been keeping me entertained and interested over the last couple of weeks as I'm sort of binging through and I want to express my gratitude and respect. Much love. I also want to use this opportunity to share something you probably already know, but I haven't seen so far in any of your videos, which is Gallium attacking Aluminum alloys. Usually Gallium won't react with Aluminum because of the protective coating of aluminum-oxide, but if you scratch that up and coat it with some liquid Gallium, a couple of drops can slowly eat away entire bars and turn them into something so brittle you can break it with your bare hands. Fun to watch the Gallium work under the surface of the aluminum oxide layer and eat the metal from the inside out. What's also interesting about this is that the resulting aluminum-gallium alloy reacts fairly heavily with water, producing hydrogen gas and aluminum oxide and leaves the gallium to be fully recoverable. I would absolutely love to see you work out a video with that explaining these processes, or perhaps exploring the possibilities of using this reaction as a fuel or energy source. Again much love for your work, you are amazing!
@@alfoncejean8826 Astrophysicist here. Kelvin Luk is basically right: Hydrogen, most of the Helium, and some Lithium was formed in the Big Bang. (Beryllium though is mostly formed from fission caused by cosmic rays). Most of everything else comes from dying stars -- either supernovae of massive stars, white dwarfs, or the outer layers of low mass stars. Also interesting is that the heavier elements (especially above atomic number 44) mostly come from merging neutron stars, which is a pretty rare event! Some notable examples: Almost all oxygen atoms were synthesized in massive stars and released in the supernovae. You might think that iron would also come from exploding massive stars, but since it's in the core, not a lot of it is actually released by the explosion -- instead most of it comes from exploding white dwarfs. For mercury, most comes from low mass stars. Almost all gold and iodine came from merging neutron stars, which if I remember Avengers: Infinity War correctly, is also true for Mjolnir and Storm Breaker. :P
I agree. I loved the mine videos and now they're all private. People need to toughen up and stop ruining everything for the rest of us. I'm sure whoever it was only looked at the title or was mad their comment got no likes.
@@niekpauwels9569 my brother made a shirt in his sophmore year of high school(2003ish), he had a bag of rings and would just add a row and spin the shirt on his torso, he even cut the rings during class too.

I was actually just about to attempt this myself using seaweed straight from the beach. I was thinking about using either chlorine or electrolysis to oxidise the iodine from solution, hopefully I'll have a go at this soon.
Watching this was certainly more fun than working on my two papers. And well, I've always wondered how much iodine is in seaweed, so that was a superb reason not to be researching on Husserl, Heidegger or Merleau-Ponty... Thanks for the upload, Cody! Hope you're doing well! Xx
Really love your channel man, you have the most interesting videos. Such a wide range of stuff, and all pretty unique compared to what you normally see on youtube. I'm glad a channel like this is successful.
Weird question of which anyone is allowed to answer, but a potential good to know subject. Iodine is used to reduce radiation absorbtion into the thyroid gland, but is it a certain quality, type or quality of iodine?... Or can you literately consume seaweed to get sufficient amounts?
Between approximately 1800 and 1880 (or 19th century, if you prefer), there was an industrial sector in the UK based around burning seaweed, for basically the same purpose demonstrated in this video. It actually started as a way to manufacture soda ash (sodium carbonate), since burning any sodium-rich organic matter will leave carbonate salts in the ash. But it was soon discovered that the ash was also a source of iodine, which was more valuable and therefore made the industry more profitable. It was also a bit of a bonus for fishing trawlers, since they always scoop up seaweed in their nets: Instead of dumping it back into the sea, it would be delivered to the seaweed burning furnaces, for a small but worthwhile fee of course.
The way you described where Iodine comes from makes me want to go and buy iodine from pharmacy and hold it in awe as if it came from the moon. And then keep it on my desk at work, as any Star Trek fan would keep enterprise model on their desk.
Now, I have done some research. I thought Smoot was just slang for how far away something is, but Smoot is an actual unit of length. So there you go! :D
Well put it this way: This video was filmed, edited, parts re-shot, re-edited, posted to patron, re-edited, parts re-shot, added text, more edits to make everything line up properly, rendered, uploaded, and published all while I didn't sleep once throughout. I think you can see at least 3 day/night cycles go by. and looking at the timestamps on the files on my computer it looks like I didn't go more than a couple hours between filming or saving something.

Well put it this way: This video was filmed, edited, parts re-shot, re-edited, posted to patron, re-edited, parts re-shot, added text, more edits to make everything line up properly, rendered, uploaded, and published all while I didn't sleep once throughout. I think you can see at least 3 day/night cycles go by. and looking at the timestamps on the files on my computer it looks like I didn't go more than a couple hours between filming or saving something.
@@theCodyReeder I appreciate the dedication, but that's unnecessary stress for you. Everyone can wait a day or two more for a video. If this is more of a rule rather than exception, please rest more, your body will thank you 10 or 20 years from now. I'm fairly certain everyone around you would appreciate a well-slept-Cody as well.
@@theCodyReeder 3 days? Now tell me how you make your amphetamine.
Cody'sLab jeez... 3 days? I want some of your seaweed...
@@theCodyReeder I noticed the tremors too, glad I'm not imagining it. Dude, don't mess with your neurology just to make videos. Maybe lay off the mercury for a bit?
“Now I’ll cut down on air pollution.”
Sir, you’ve earned my like.
dangit cody what did u do to ur knuckle between frames of breaking up the seaweed??!?
I actually have no idea it just showed up.
@@theCodyReeder obligatory plug about PPE :P
probably torn up on the inner walls of that heating thing.
Cody is too cool! I grew up watching Bill Nye. Now I watch Cody's Lab ❤️
I would really like to see you get titanium oxide from pastries!
That would be amazing!
@Cody'sLab
iodine just casually forms in the heart of a dying star that took billions of years to even get to that point
As a ceramicist and kiln maintenance technician I am highly offended by the misuse of your kiln.
Just kidding. I am not a fan of Paragon kilns anyway. Skutt and Evenheat are superior in build quality.
I always appreciate the usage of obscure units of measure.
You should try to extract the calcium out of milk.
It's good to see you back in the lab, keep it coming.
But where are the patrons' comments from 6 months ago?
How about, if you are so salty, just become a patron.
Give money for someone's work? Ha ha ha ha....noooooooo
@Ungregistered User and you'd know he spelled patron correctly, but it seems that you don't.
Am i the only one who loves these kind of videos?
In my country, we add iodine to all the salt available in stores.
What an ingenious innovation!
Just like alot of countries worldwide. They don't call it iodized table salt for nothing!
I live in Boston and I appreciate your use of the smoot measurement system.
Could you do a homeopathy debunking video science style??
Lol, this comment must be in jest.for those that don't know.. he has just shown homeopathic treatment (Thumbs up)
@@resemblanceoftruth2049 It's more homemade than homeopathic. Think "like cures like".
