@@lajoswinkler The IUPAC recommendation on the capitalization of names of the elements has recently been changed to recommend that they be capitalized the same as common nouns.

For those who were wondering if *other stuff* gets collected, boiling point of: Lithium 1330°C Cesium Chloride 1297°C Tin 2600°C And Caesium 670°C The molten tin spacer was a good idea.
And he used 1400 °F= 760°C for the furnace. So the Caesium would evaporate and escape easily at its boiling point of 690 °C leaving a gap for cross-contamination of at least 570 centigrades.
There are a few channels where I find everything they post interesting, I’ve been subscribed for almost 4 years now and the day cody’s uploads didn’t make my day are yet to come.
Beautiful and ingenious method! I'd compare this procedure to the metallic Sodium method without eletrolisys explained by Nurdrage. This video is marvelous, thank you Cody for the great content, keep doing this stuff!
As soon as I master distilling cesium with plumbing materials he comes out with a new and better way. I used the cody way of using random materials for the retort, with the thunderfoot way of using a BBQ grill, only I upgraded to a gas powered blast furnace. It worked great! I recovered several dozen grams of cesium and had a lot of fun with it.
Most of it is still in the chloride form. A better question is what happened to 65% of the lithium. To which the answer is: measurement error, the oil and oxide coating the metal has weight but doesn’t contribute to the reaction. Side reactions, from water in the salt and air in the chamber. And metal that did not react, you can see it burning when I opened the chamber.
@@theCodyReeder What is the more expensive reagent here, lithium metal or caesium chloride? So you could've added more lithium, but my first research shows, that their value is about the same, then it probably wouldn't help much. You only trade in more lithium to use up some more of the caesium chloride present. Maybe you would contaminate the caesium metal with lithium metal condensate at some point!? So you may want to test for the lithium content in your product to dial-in the stoichiometry!
Before I forget, you should get a second carbon monoxide detector for when you do your tank experiments. You're one of my favorite UA-camrs and I want you to be around forever.
Love Cody’s chemistry vids One of a few that do things in a way most people can figure them out No fancy devices or chemicals we can never obtain Cody is one of the best
To improve the yield, consider grinding up and stirring the Li in, instead of just throwing it in as chunks. Even if it becomes a liquid eventually, it's not going to mix good enough, the molten mixture is too thick for a good mix.
Love all of your chemistry and metal purification videos, the solutions you come up with are elegantly simplistic. Your dedication to ingenuitive experimentation gives me inspiration to continue trying new things even when I only have simple tools and common materials at my disposal. If you put Cody on a deserted island he would have an autonomously irrigated farm, up to code housing, and motorized vehicles as fast as he can pull the materials out of the ground.
I can't help feeling like there's probably a gadget at a kitchen supply store made out of stainless that has exactly the shape you need. Probably intended for something else entirely but just begging to be repurposed.

Let's just assume that Cody already has his own personal team of inter-agency fans from the FBI, ATF, NEA and NRC who know the device that the neighbours are talking about even before they call the hotline.
Another great build video. Basic science. Engineering. Results. I appreciate the discussion of the pros/cons of the method as well as the recommendations for improvements, in the best tradition of citizen science.
Cody: successfully distills cesium. Me: makes a small hydrogen explosion trying to distill the much gentler sodium. I think I'll stick to electrolysis to get the lighter alkali metals for now :P
I don't know if Cody mentioned this, but the reverse reaction can be sped up even more by raising the temperature of the KCl + Na solution, because the forward reaction is exothermic. So you end up using Le Chatalier's Principle in two ways: removing a reactant, and increasing temperature.

Even the furnace upside down. No one said you cant. I like the line its not a stupid idea if it works.
Really cool video. They should show this in chemistry as real world application of the laws we learned would make things interesting and keep kids interested.
Hiya Cody. A few quick points. As a CSO I am begging you not to use an angle grinder without a guard. As a First Aider I dread the day I attend someone with half a cutoff disk in their head. Secondly I notice you have a slight tremor in your hand which is unusual in a young man such as yourself. Have you had your blood checked for metal levels lately? When I worked in gold assay we were monitored for lead. My blood/lead levels were detectable and safe. It really is invaluable to have such information. Thanx for the vids!!
That's rad, would be cool to see how much better it gets with some more design tweaking. I always love seeing a Cody's lab notification. Thanks for all your hard work Cody.
@@instrumentenfreak The distance is the most problematic thing. TF is in Czechia, Nile (and NurdRage?) in canuckistan, Ex&F in upside down land and backyard scientist is from the US if I'm not mistaken. But hell yeah! That collab would be sick!
Interesting video. Couple things meant in a positive way. teflon tape is a lubricant, not a sealer. Pipes seal when the tape is present because you can screw them together tighter. Drill bits only cut on the ends, not on the sides. While you can push away metal with a spinning bit you are also weakening the sides and will eventually ruin a perfectly good drill bit.
You know, my chemistry teacher was a horrible narcissistic woman. The only time she wasn’t piercing your ears with her screams was when she was talking about her “yacht” (sail boat with an outboard motor) or her sunny holidays. I was her class clown and whipping boy. I never learnt a thing from her because I couldn’t hear her from my ear drums imploding. I got a B+ at an intermediate 2 level (just below the highest high school level uk) having never done the subject before and learning everything from the guy who sat next to me ( all props to him). And this is why I LOVE Cody. Because he is so much like that guy that sat next to me. A good friend who is very good at teaching to even a dumbass like me!
Hey Cody, dropping a comment because I wanted to say that you seem like you're in a much better spot. I apologize that I haven't seen as many of your videos recently. I just remember when Grant passed away a few years ago, and how hard that hit you. You seemed like you were in a rough spot in life. I am incredibly happy to see you nowadays though. You seem much happier in life, and I hope what you were dealing with has gotten easier to manage. Thank you for the amazing content!
General question: Have you ever considered creating some content on refining and processing the minerals for the creation of silicon diodes and transistors? For those of us who will be stuck with the task of rebuilding the modern world, information like that should be more widely known. Love your channel man. I miss it when you don't post anything for awhile. Cheers man.
Ned: *writes the furnace user manual* Cody: "Nobody ever said the furnace had to be upright" Ned's boss "Dammit Ned, now everyone is going to sue us" Ned: "Had a meeting with the engineers, they say this is actually OK" Furnace engineers "Not this not okay, this is actually AWESOME!"

Even the furnace upside down. No one said you cant. I like the line its not a stupid idea if it works.
Lookin good Cody! Very happy into:)
Hey cody, long time fan here, just want to say we all really appreciate the effort put into your videos. thanks man!
This is really cool. Don't breathe the smoke too much though
Cody back at it again doing some good old chemistry. Missed this type of content. Keep up the good work.
0:53 what my hot pockets see after the microwave stop spinning
Really cool video. They should show this in chemistry as real world application of the laws we learned would make things interesting and keep kids interested.
Hiya Cody. A few quick points. As a CSO I am begging you not to use an angle grinder without a guard.
As a First Aider I dread the day I attend someone with half a cutoff disk in their head.
Secondly I notice you have a slight tremor in your hand which is unusual in a young man such as yourself.
Have you had your blood checked for metal levels lately? When I worked in gold assay we were monitored for lead.
My blood/lead levels were detectable and safe. It really is invaluable to have such information. Thanx for the vids!!
Hey Cody, you’re looking and sounding good! I hope you’re in a better space lately 🙏
I’m still waiting on the “Cody Brings You: Backyard Nuclear Reactors You Can Do At Home On A Budget” UA-cam series. 😊
He was getting close, but the Feds shut that down.
Watch Thunderf00t, he planted carrot seeds in radioactive soil, then harvested the carrots and ate then on a radioactive plate! 😂
That's rad, would be cool to see how much better it gets with some more design tweaking. I always love seeing a Cody's lab notification. Thanks for all your hard work Cody.
You and NileRed should see about doing a collab. That would be neato.
NurdRage and Thunderf00t should join too. Maybe even the backyard scientist and explosionsandfire.
@@instrumentenfreak The distance is the most problematic thing. TF is in Czechia, Nile (and NurdRage?) in canuckistan, Ex&F in upside down land and backyard scientist is from the US if I'm not mistaken.
But hell yeah! That collab would be sick!
Please no Backyard Scientist. That guy is going to kill someone one day soon.
@@DrakkarCalethiel do you mean vancouver?
Explosionsandfire would be such a cool collab. He has almost the exact backyard chemist style as cody. That would be so fucking awesome.
Interesting video. Couple things meant in a positive way. teflon tape is a lubricant, not a sealer. Pipes seal when the tape is present because you can screw them together tighter. Drill bits only cut on the ends, not on the sides. While you can push away metal with a spinning bit you are also weakening the sides and will eventually ruin a perfectly good drill bit.
You could poke a rod up the distillation column and push the lid off.
I loved the "How It's Made" vibe with this one!
For the out-of context file:
"Got a little bit of leftover lithium" -- Cody, 2020
Great to see your back inspiring the world with this kind of science Cody.
7:53 - Actually 3.5g of lithium metal weighs closer to 3.5g, not almost nothing =)
@Jon G .. I'm going out on a limb here and saying It doesn't way closer to 3.5g but it ways EXACTLY 3.5g (+- measuring errors)
You know, my chemistry teacher was a horrible narcissistic woman. The only time she wasn’t piercing your ears with her screams was when she was talking about her “yacht” (sail boat with an outboard motor) or her sunny holidays. I was her class clown and whipping boy. I never learnt a thing from her because I couldn’t hear her from my ear drums imploding.
I got a B+ at an intermediate 2 level (just below the highest high school level uk) having never done the subject before and learning everything from the guy who sat next to me ( all props to him).
And this is why I LOVE Cody. Because he is so much like that guy that sat next to me. A good friend who is very good at teaching to even a dumbass like me!
Alkali Metal Converter . Hey that is the name of my Synthwave/Doommetal crossover band! ;-)
that sounds awesome to me, honestly lol
Happy to see another of these sort of video Cody. You’re looking well, happy to see it!
"I'll have someone make a stainless version" Sounds like something up This Old Tony's street... Colab?!
OH MY GOSH PLEASE
That's what I'm sayin! Get him a proper machined vessel made on the lathe from round stock.
I was thinking the same thing. ToT could use another side project. Especially one that involves welding.
Someone start a petition to make this happen please
We love watching the process. The science is a bonus win. Great work as always.
You look much younger and healthier without the facefuzz.
I think this video is old.
@@foty8679 its from yesterday on the date at 20:10
He doesn't always release his videos in chronological order.
Hey Cody, dropping a comment because I wanted to say that you seem like you're in a much better spot. I apologize that I haven't seen as many of your videos recently. I just remember when Grant passed away a few years ago, and how hard that hit you. You seemed like you were in a rough spot in life. I am incredibly happy to see you nowadays though. You seem much happier in life, and I hope what you were dealing with has gotten easier to manage. Thank you for the amazing content!
Imma make a rival channel called CodySlab where I just walk around and talk about concrete all day.
So, basically Practical Engineering?
Why would anyone like my comment, nonetheless respond to it?
Your hypotheses and experiments are excellent and edutaining.
This feels like watching Tony Stark building the Mark 1 suit with whatever he had laying around.
General question: Have you ever considered creating some content on refining and processing the minerals for the creation of silicon diodes and transistors? For those of us who will be stuck with the task of rebuilding the modern world, information like that should be more widely known. Love your channel man. I miss it when you don't post anything for awhile. Cheers man.
Ned: *writes the furnace user manual*
Cody: "Nobody ever said the furnace had to be upright"
Ned's boss "Dammit Ned, now everyone is going to sue us"
Ned: "Had a meeting with the engineers, they say this is actually OK"
Furnace engineers "Not this not okay, this is actually AWESOME!"
4:20 Whoa, that's pretty cool and surprisingly simple! It's one of those things where it seems obvious once you thought of it, but hard to come up with!
