- I make aluminium metal from dirt.
there are a lot of chemicial reactions in this video, here is a list of the main ones:
feldspar to clay;
4KAlSi3O8 + 4H+ + 2H2O = 2K+ +Al4Si4O10(OH)8 +8SiO2
clay to aluminium hydoxide and silicious acid (unbalanced);
Al4Si4O10(OH)8 + H2O + H+ = Al(OH)3 + H2SiO4
Aluminium hydroxide forming from aluminium chloride;
AlCl3 + 3 NaOH = 3 NaCl + Al(OH)3
aluminium hydroxide calcination;
2Al(OH)3 = Al2O3 + 3H2O
eletrolisis of cryolite solution (overall);
Al2O3 + 3 C = 2 Al + 3 CO

Pro Tip: Never drink any sort of fruit juice when you're at Cody's house...
Are you referring to the piss he collects in bottles
@@xi-Jinping-1st no, because in most of his bottles is dangerous stuff like strong acids
@@hyperhektor7733 he also has a collection of piss he showed in one of his videos I can't remember the reason or which video as it was a long time ago I watched it
@@xi-Jinping-1st he doesn't collect piss xD, it was for an experiment, making gunpowder from piss. I think it had to do with the fact that the piss had to be refined like wine (over time)
@@hyperhektor7733 Lol the thought of a respected chemistry whiz (pun intended) making a video to show off his piss bottle collection is hilarious 😂
Cody is quite possibly "The most interesting man in the world" He probably doesn't drink beer, but when he does he makes it himself out of some kind of rock, honey and a bolt of lightning
Reading this at two o'clock in the morning after work is actually the best thing ever. I love it.
IdahoRodgers USMC Shane he doesn’t pronounce it correctly.
Hahahaha XD XD I almost spit out my coffee reading this!
Honey flavored lightning beer, try it today!

"And to be honest I've had enough people calling the ATF on my behalf saying I've been making pipe bombs"
ahahahahaha
*proceeds to make pressure cooker bomb
I don't get why people bother him lol, he's doing science and not hurting anyone ya know?
@@tempestindustries9446 But if you were the neighbour you would be scared, if someone living near you was randomly making explosive chemicals, you would wonder why and get worried about your own safety.
@@weeho8763 ya but his neighbour is about 5 miles away or more did u see where he lives its awesome place no1 around first miles sum people are A-Holes for calling the ATF on him they got nothing better to do with there lives misery loves company
first pour boiling hydrochloric acid over the foot, next poke with highly electric pokestick into molten aluminun on a also highly electric fajita pan. lastly pour said molten aluminum over ventilator power cord. this is the stuff im subscribed for!
He's so clumsy and messy, it is a wonder he is still alive .
@@weemanling Melted butter is his kryptonite though, so we just need to make him cook toast.
why use boiling HCᶫ
when you could use boiling piranha solution
don't forget the moister around molten aluminium
It is like NASCAR racing. Nobody is paying that kind of money just to watch cars drive around in a circle fast - they are there waiting for the crashes and broken bodies. It's human nature, like when you drive by an auto accident. We all slow down, and we all look - and, even though we don't say it out loud, we all know what we're looking for - and the mild disappointment (mixed with relief) when it isn't there to see.
It's videos like this that make me feel like you're a genius

"Who else do you know who's made aluminum, from scratch, at home?"
Earlier: "So I've come down here to *one of my mining claims*"
Impressive work, but I also don't know many people who own mining claims :)
most people see a rock as completely useless material, or a weapon.
we need more science users...
I mean it wasnt an aluminum mine
I want a mining claim. We don't have any precious metals here in my state though.
In my country they cost nothing, the only real cost is the paperwork to ensure no one reclaims your claim as their own.
it's only 30 or so cents in USD for a square meter of land.. pretty damn cheap
I work in an aluminum foundry, and we monitor the iron content of the aluminum using samples out of the melter. When the iron content gets too high, we add strontium to bind with the iron and remove it; iron makes aluminum parts brittle. Magnesium is also added to strengthen the aluminum.
Thanks for the insight!
Man, make a video!
Greetings
Сделай видео!
Cody put a piece of his shoe into the solution, it shall do the trick...
Q
"Who else do you know who has made aluminum, form scratch, at home?"
Cody, you know that most people don't have hydrochloric acid and sodium hexafluoroaluminate just hanging around their kitchens right? You know what we also don't have? Oh wait.. MINES!
He's like a dwarf wandering through Moria and is like "What, you don't have gems blessed from the Lords of Valar here? I'll grab some from under the sink!
(Love the content Cody!)
love the comment ;)

I like the news reporter walk in intro cody!
Reminds me of a educational show that would be shown in a elementary/middle school science class, in the best way possible.
Killspec reminds me of a meme
Hey what's up guys?
Anticonny scarce here!
carl sagan would be proud!
When Cody managed to move and refocus the camera with one hand while holding a red hot electrified carbon rod steadily in a pool of molten metal with the other. Badass.
The geology lesson at the beginning was my favorite part. Being a employee of the oil drilling industry the understanding of shales and how they become hydrated during drilling is key. Awesome video.
Seems some footage from a previous take made it onto the end of this video...
Oh noooo
Cody'sLab lol poor Cody were you sleepy when you edited?
Cody'sLab hey that's just more goodies for us!
Cody'sLab
would you like me to mail you some Pacific northwest dirt to test?
16:58 Did you really say aluminium there? ;-)
I can't even imagine what Cody would get into if he had an actual lab stocked with commercial grade equipment.
He'd probably have that fusion reactor up and running by now.
That seems like a low bar.
He'd probably have his own rocket to jump start the trip to mars.
I think he would create laser weapons and thermobaric laser explosives xDD
Probably just more people calling the ATF for no reason
Fools call ATF because they have no clue what a scientist is!!!
that news reporter intro walk was sooo spot on. loved the way you described the process that the clay goes through up to and through the fault-mine part.
The " walk and talk " at the beginning was very Carl Saganesq. Love it man
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Finally got all that iron and water out. *Pours product onto a rusty pan in the snow*
Matt Hunter Hahahahahahaha
How to turn a rock into tomato soup to orange juice to aluminum
By: Cody'sLab
15:20 stuff starts bubbling and churning with sparks flying, and arcs buzzing.
Cody: There we go, that's the way!
Back here in 2021 going over this series again. All this stuff is so fascinating man. We need to get the algorithm back on you.
The thumbnail says Aluminium. The title says Aluminum. i cant handle the dissent.
did I make a type-o?
Cody'sLab yes you did 😂
Cody'sLab yes you did 😂
Lol
Cody'sLab DID you? Illuminati confirmed
The mic makes a big difference. Love your vids cody!
shitbag i liked your comment cuz your name
same
Boby Bober For a second I actually thought you just called him a shitbag lmao
the141crew eh wasnt trying to call him that its just when you reply it makes it look like it cheers ;)
Never thought I would learn this much from making metal on the internet. Thanks Cody.
I am an electrical engineer with associate degree in Metallurgy. Very Informative video I learned a lot from your geology lessons and I love the aluminum electrolysis. The fan was cooling everything so fast that your electrolysis did not yield all the aluminum. I would retry the electrolysis in open air without the fan and I bet you'll get more aluminum extracted. Congrats this is how inventors worked and found new metals.
Aluminum was more expensive than gold until late 19th century because scientists had not yet figured out an effective way to isolate it more minerals.
Which is why the tip of the Washington Monument in DC is made of aluminum. Though ironically, the Hall process brought the price of aluminum down to more pedestrian levels around the time the monument was completed.
I got kinda mad when he said people were reporting him for making pipe bombs.. How damaged does a person have to be to report Cody like that!?!? Like WTF!?
Depends on how many of his pipe bombs succeeded in injuring them
HipposHateWater
xD
If the ATF is worth a damn they would have watched all his videos, or at least some of them, and they would see that he's not some extremist weirdo. However, white men aren't given a fair shake these days. I assume the ATF has to treat any report as very serious, so I don't blame them. The people who reported Cody should be investigated for wasting people's time.
i found it funny, because even if he wanted to make some pipe bombs or something his property is so huge no one would notice lol
Eion, don't talk like that, they were Kangz n shiet.
6:49 That's what Cody does to his enemies
omg hahaha
It's a silver bar with 99,9% purity, made by Cody from a special mountain near his house.

@@luisff7030 lead not silver
then he vaporize the body and separate the diffrent elements
I'll just say that the voice work put into this one is GREAT. Good job, Cody!
Next episode, Cody makes a quantum computer from the dirt under his fingernails.
Laughing Man tbh i would not be surprised 😞
Laughing Man lmao
"Who else do you know who has made aluminum from scratch at home?" NOBODY CODY THAT'S WHY YOU'RE THE BEST!!
Codyyyy!!! I love the footage from your previous take at the end! It shows who you “refined” your presentation skills into a calm, collected scientists/engineer. Keep doing your awesome work!
brilliant stuff... i actually worked in aluminum smelting for sometime... its good that you had fan running.. fluorine gas emission is a big problem. Nice job Cody!
Yay! More precious metal refining! You're awesome Cody!
Precious if you're in your 300s.
i wound not call aluminum precious.
I would. Without it what would we use to fill its place?
Ethan Owens it's not a precious metal. it's a useful material in a lot of everyday applications, but, it's not precious.
Kevin ateahelicopteronce Gipson yup by the 1890s it was only worth the equivalent of about $10 per pound ... it's price drops with the price of electricity... for obvious reasons
9:30 First time I've heard Cody annoyed xD
Really liked this vid. I like the ones were you get metals form rock from scratch. Its nice to know what is feasible, and how much effort it requires. Im a creative person ,with a small budget. So i gain alot of info by watching you,and i figure if you have difficulty with something,its probly to hard for me.
So thanks for all the time and effort you shared.
Your experiments are great, really creative and entertaining, but your comprehensive explanation of the underlying theory of what you're doing is what takes the prize. This video was awesome. The scenery you were able to choose to do the recording was a great way to illustrate the theory.
Intro be like hey what's up guys it's scarce here
Close, but like Graves, no cigar. He didn't come from behind a tree :/
What the hell am i doing. I have an ap chem final tomorrow and im sitting here watching a guy process dirt
Iprodeltaelite I have a engineering final and a earth space science one
I don't have jack shit to do...
I have a chem final tomorrow as well. I've tricked my self into thinking this is relevant. Which it kinda is right?
Well, you must be fun at parties.
how did you do on your final?
Very cool.
You have a good way of explaining what you’re doing and how the reactions occur.
That’s helped me ENORMOUSLY.
Thank you!
This episode was so amazing! It is so hard to find quality geology videos and this was such a fun process. I am inspired by your channel, thank you for sharing.
where the hell do you find metal bricks at?
I made it from some scrap bullets
Well thanks for responding.
Question, have you made a video on sound and vibrations? i would be cool to see a video on destroying stuff with sound waves. like glass or paper.
it*
im sure there was a video where he made them from lead bullet shells or summat. it was cool ep try find it
"Lumanum"
"Marine armnimals"

I like how the entirety of the ‘minium ‘minum debate is sidestepped with this pronunciation.
Mostlyharmless1985 It is quite fascinating how such peons think that proving which is right over which is preferred is intelligent and worthwhile to speak about in this day and age.
I love the new production value. Amazing
Classic humor embedded with an incredible amount of knowledge. Thank you for a great presentation, Sir.
9:23 pour straight onto you feet :D
16:04 even better molten metal on wire :D
So funny :D
But he played it off so well. Barely stopped talking and did a little foot shuffle, nothing happened move along.
In Cody's Lab, feet melt your acid.
Cody is making a mess in this one lol
1 MIL BROOO !!!!!! Congratzz!! I will never forget my first video,minecraft series,long time ago,fell in love with you,and then you were not famous at all at that time and I knew you'd get famous pretty fast,couse your creativity and knowledge about everything you do is just amazing and soo calming,just beautiful to watch,listen and learn!
I love the safety protocol.Excellent work.
How many people are calling the ATF on you? Seems like they might eventually figure out they are getting punked
I know, seriously?
Matthew McKellar When he said that I felt bad for him because he's just trying to make a living and people have to be assholes and ruin it for him.
Boss Penguin Ruining Cody's day and wasting the time of the ATF, both are bad things in my book. Would suck to get investigated
Trouble is, they may know its a BS call, but they've still got to waste time checking it out. Wonder how long before Cody is on first name terms with the local ATF agent.
Agent: Hey Cody, its me again.... you making pipebombs?
Cody: Not today, jst the usual thermite and black powder.
Agent: Ok, just had to check.
Darren Poulson They probably know the routine enough for both parties to clearly understand what is and isn't off the reservation.
Call it alumininium to piss off everyone at the same time.
If this were the 1700's you could make yourself rich.
It's 2017 and he could still make himself rich if he wanted to. Hell he will likely end up doing it anyway as a byproduct of screwing around with science stuff on the internet for fun.
richhagenchicago well we didn't have a lot of these technologies in the 1700s.
richhagenchicago No electrolysis in the 1700s.
Or Napoleons best friend
Richard's Workshop or get stoned from being a witch... I'm joking I know they didn't do that in the 1700's.
I keep getting shivers down my spine at the time that he poured that mixture into the bottle , and it didn't go in... But Cody is a cool guy man , much love! He thought me more chem than any other teacher I had in my life!
The intro hill scene reminded me of Scarce's face reveal lmao
La Flama Blanca I have expected to hear "hey what's up guys it's scarce"😂
La Flama Blanca "hey whats up guys Cody's lab here."
@ 0:40 "hey whats up guys it's cody here"
that into was trippy as hell. You look far but sound close :o
Al Capone He is using a lapel/collar mic so he'll always sound close. Stay off the good stuff, Al.
he has a mic on him, haha
guys i know. didn't he just say in another video he bought it and was gunna use it? It just still looked and sounded a little trippy :)
There really many intelligent chemist on UA-cam. One of my favorite things about yours is your ability to do them with fajita pans, empty juice bottles and drain cleaner. I appreciate bringing it down to the level of us plebians.
Great stuff, Cody. Watching your videos from the ranch has really rekindled my fascination for geology!
codys lab is my absolute favorite channel
I love these videos where its super from nothing to create something
Verlisify Hi Verlis, didn't know you watched Cody.
Verlisify Why are you here? lol my brain hurts
To make Aluminium all you need is some Aluminium Oxide which we can easily make... Oh. Also Cryolite which is quite rare so I'm just going to buy a sample.
Interesting, why are you here?
I can make Verlisify salt from scratch...
All you do is take Verlisify mix in a little cheated pokemon and voila!!!
Now you do have an extremely unstable element so be careful with it, but if you skim the top and collect it in another jar you will have Verlisify salt...
One of your best videos to date!
Very captivating, very informative, very interesting!
Would love more of these types of "lecture" videos.
Hey Cody, I love your videos. They are so cool, you inspired me to start doing things that you do in videos. The thing you do are amazing!! I’ve only attempted the very simple things in your videos because I still don’t know a lot of chemistry!
Hey Cody! There is a predicted solar eclipse in 2017 that will cross Idaho. Maybe you could make a video about it and drive to a predicted location for it.
Oh right. Now to edit the comment.
Yep...and that isn't far from Idaho...

Acid on the foot at 9:22....
.༼ಠఎಠ༽ What do you mean acid is dangerous ? Don't believe you.
{ --------- }
Ahuratchek
:-). It was a good concentration too. You could see the concrete being dissolved/etched.
electronicsNmore I've read somewhere that hydrochloric acid does not react instantly with skin so it's okay if you mess up a little.
Ahuratchek
It does, I've acid washed and painted many garage floors in the past, and use it in the swimming pool(muriatic acid). You can feel your skin getting itchy before the burning starts. Does not take long either, UNLESS you have very oily skin.
You can tell there's a subtle jump cut right before he says "aluminum chloride". I assume he had an alkaline on hand that he used to neutralize the acid that spilled, but just cut that out.
Well written and presented episode Cody! It’s cool to see how your professionalism continues to grow. After watching this video I totally envisioned you hosting a show on NatGeo or some other science channel. Good work!
This is great. I've seen so many people say it's impossible to make aluminium in "at home" conditions.
after a solution of HCl and other crap dripped on codys boot an awkward silence followed
9:20
nice replacement for blips
the quality on this video is HUGE!
I too hail from the land of Utah, and your pronunciation of 'lum'num is spot on.
Episodes on this channel become better and better. You almost reached a "professional" TV Science-Show level. Keep going and one day your video will be shown in school !
Nice video Cody. Your editing and filming skills are improving every video. Keep up the good work.
Hey Cody, great video! You have a skill and ability that most of us don't have. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Geology --- Watching this has shown me one more thing that I know NOTHING about and have never even thought of studying, but CODY was(is) a very attentive student. Wow...when he points it out, I can see it...but would never have had any idea there is so much knowledge written in the rocks.... totally good stuff.
9:22 Dumps hydrochloric acid on his boot. Says nothing. Like a boss.
I think those boots are steel-toed
@RLS0812 its hot acid so its way more ractive when it contacts the skin, i wont call that "nothing"
The start feels like the start of a science tv show :D
Other than the camera quality, there isn't much to improve!
been watching your videos for years! love em! this is probably the most educational (to my perspective) I've ever seen. why am i just now seeing it? ranks right up there with the nitric acid one.
Good job Cody!
Wait, did you actually have an ATF rep show up at the ranch or something??
that's BS if they did
😂 that intro reminded me of those 90s educational videos
i could watch these videos for hours. you have the bob ross personality that's really calming
I'm amazed that the electrolysis worked. I thought that's impossible in a non-indutrial setup, but you did it!
Cody I liked the dialogue at the beginning of the video you remind me of a teacher walking around like you were lol
I love your channel man.
Searched everywhere for a video of small scale aluminium production finding nothing but making alumina, theory or industrial videos. Of course it's Cody that actually pulls it off!
Wow. This is a great presentation.

Of all the things you have done, this is the first one where I thought 'this has to be unsafe' when you used a welder and a pan to electrocute molten metal lol
Not to mention all the wet conductive fluid on the ground ;)
Well, it was only 6 volts, wasn't it? Might hurt a bit if it (for some reason) arcs, but should otherwise be safe.
That is so cool Cody. Thanks for the videos
Cody you got me thinking about what the northernmost aluminum mine is and why that area was able to form the proper conditions that led to the minerals being created.
Love your videos, Cody! Keep up the good work!
and the tortoise wins! Sorry, this was just too good. ;)
Cody'sLab technically he's a turtle.
Cody'sLab Your the best!!
Jayden Em *you're
This guy deserves more subs
Wow! Just, absolutely blown away! To produce aluminium, at home, outside, in the snow, on a lump of cast iron using the Bayer process!
Seeing that shiny ball of aluminium popping out of the set cryolite had me squealing Cody!
That was one hell of a project! Masterfully done!
Nice one mate! ☮️😎
(Now, at $2,405.15 per ton... 🤔)
Awesome video! Thanx for showing us cody
looool nice Carl Sagan intro walk
Wait why are people reporting him to the atf?
Alex Coutinho wat
I think it's because his neighbors think his pressure tubes are pipe bombs
Great video, thanks! All the video's in which you extract something from nature are great. Iodine, heavy water, mercury, aluminum, very interesting and entertaining to watch. And you seem to be the first to demonstrate their extraction on youtube too.
The amount of metal extracted from that size rock gives a nice initial reference for just how much ore is needed for something even as small as a can.
Jeez Cody, stop making pipe bombs. GOSH.
Lol 7 years ago wow

But you have feed the bull ants with kangaroos before you can touch it.
Not that hard.. you just punch them in the face..

A hundred duck sized horses are smaller than a horse sized duck, so I'm going with the hundred duck sized horses.
