Magnesium hydroxide Mg2(HO) decomposes to MgO + H2O above 350c. And magnesium oxide has many more uses. one of which is cement. Of which I find magnesium oxide and fused silica to be interesting. Robert Mury Smith did a video "all about magnesium oxide cements"
Your video is so complicated! If you want to make sulphuric acid, do electrolysis of a strong copper sulphate solution with a platinum coated electrode at 5V 4.5 amps. Then afterwards concentrate the acid by heating and boiling off the water until you see white smoke then stop. You are left with conc Sulphuric acid.
This is a great vid but just to note. There is nothing wrong with the CuSO4 crystals people buy, how do you think that are made? If you want to say your CuSO4 is so pure, put a number on it. Just to be clear, your copper was filthy, you used a flower pot and standard plastic tub, so how pure is your CuSO4 exactly.
❓️❓️...I thought these garden pots come with a drainage hole 🕳 in the bottom as a standard. Do you have one without a hole? Would marine putty work to plug up the hole?
Computer power supplies have 25 to 30A at 5V, but there are modifications with examples on the internet, I don't remember exactly, but I remember that you cut a coil and it supplies 25V maximum.
If you need higher voltage and current? I bought from EBay a few dc to dc boost converter. From 18 volt battery I can take to a maximum output of around 80 volts and 20 amps. I bought 2 units and bridge them to get high output with less heat on converter. Great for reviving my dewalt cordless batteries!
Im trying to make a similar solution for copper plating bullets but i havent used miralax. I didnt make my own copper sulfate since i didnt know how and never looked into it, but the plating is very thin and flakes off so im just going to dump a bunch of copper sulfate into it and some salt and use thicker copper plates since the pipe i used before is now all gone and basically dissolves into the solution in an hour or less. Ive been avoiding acid to minimize safety concerns plus this seems to be how other people are doing it anyways
pot: close the hole with hotglue and put black negative cathode in it ; container pur red + anode ... inside the pot get magnesium oxide... outside the pot copper sulfate.. filter all.. then re do electrolisis of the copper sulfate solution to remove unreacted epsom salt..
brother would be very helpful to me how to prepare a solution for precious metals such as gold, I live in Cuba and here there is no way to get solutions, greetings
I think I mat have reversed the power supply leads. On my first try the water in the pot turned blue while the water in the chamber stayed clear/milky white.
Hi from Chile Jason, Is this solution a "flash copper solution", alkaline? If so, is your solution better than a patent formula that a saw in the web: Chloride Copper (II) + Oxide Cupric + Chloride Ammonium + EDTA + Acetate Sodium and polyenthylene Glycol? Thank for your videos!!!!! Cheers, Rodrigo
I googled magnetic street, since I don't know what it is: A magnetic stirrer or magnetic mixer is a laboratory device that employs a rotating magnetic field to cause a stir bar (or flea) immersed in a liquid to spin very quickly, thus stirring it. But what if I don't work in laboratory?
Magnetic stirrers and magnetic stirrer bars are not too expensive to buy, however, you can also make a DIY (variable) magnetic stirrer, which is what I did and pretty cheaply. Here's a link to an online video tutorial ua-cam.com/video/yZnEK9fKvnA/v-deo.htmlsi=MyYNdrjYnCf2g46C
I Have Done This For Like 10 Years Now, This Is A Good Way, But I See Some Flaws , But I Can Make A Video On HOW I DO IT ! I Do It With Copper Foil, Twister Copper Foil Put Together Like 5 Of Them , Around 3 by 5 Cm Sheets So The Area Gets Much Much Bigger For Copper To react, For You I Would Recomend To Drill A Bunch Of Holes Into That Copper Pipe And Dont Pancake It, Leave A Small Small Gapp In Between :)
Question: Even though sulphuric acid can be replaced by other chemicals, isn't it still the best option - if you can get it? I ain't no chemist, but sulphuric acid (H2SO4) sounds like the ideal solvent for copper sulphate (CuSO4).
sulfuric acid aka battery acid works great on its own but the real secret to electroforming is you are using a solution of various acids to take advantage of their mixed properties
So, are these mental hospitals with borders actually somehow better off without being able to buy ordinary chemicals so you can do workshop stuff? I don't get it. Why do they have you have to make your own acids as a precursor?
Rob T, in some countries you've got psychos who think it's cool to throw sulphuric acid in the faces of girls who have spurned them. This started out in Pakistan and has spread to other places as well. Where I'm from (Colombia) the gov. has had to restrict the sale of sulphuric acid to industries that can show a legitimate need. If you're a hobbyist, forget it.
Not one bit. It actually helps keep your solution cleaner. All copper pipe in USA has phosphorus in it & I only use it and it works great. When you’re done with your piece just clean the copper as usual and use it again if there is any copper left. The black holds the copper like together to help it not fall to the bottom of the tank. Get it from Home Depot of Lowe’s.
I wonder how sulfuric acid harvested from old batteries would preform as an acid source. its crazy how very minor changes make huge differences. like one of my tanks I accidentally let non distilled water into my solution and the minerals made some really neat effects the copper lays flat and tight but it has these wrinkles in it like a really old persons fingers
It would most likely have a LOT of contaminants in it from the cell plates etc.. shouldn't use tap water for the same reasons according to other channels & sources
The old part would be the bad part ,, some automotive parts houses still carry and sell battery acid which is a pretty good chemical before it's exposed to lead in car batteries
I don't understand how electricity is flowing through the wall of the flower pot? Is the flower pot made out of a conductive material or did you remove the stopper from the bottom of the pot?
@@barryliebenberg8272 Terracotta is a clay based ceramic fired at a low temperature. (A basic glass) The hole in the bottom is put there for drainage. I do have some of the pots that seem to leak through the material, I do not think they are old fashioned terracotta clay pots. New, are these pots labeled as to what they are made of?
You also need to realize that electricity can be punched through several mediums you would normally think were unable to conduct electricity and that’s the way we need to think of it. Insulators have a rating basically they will stop a certain amount of energy before the energy will find it way through. For instance you could do the same reaction he is doing here inside of a condom instead of a clay pot. In this scenario moisture wouldn’t explain why the electricity can pass through it. Just know that you can force electricity through the wall of an “insulator” if it’s thin enough and your current is right.
What if you can get copper sulfate but not sulfuric acid? I can only get acid in 18L containers and would honestly just rather not use it if possible. Any tips?
Hey Jason, I have copper sulfate available to me but not hydrochloric acid. If I were to use a solution of copper sulfate and distilled water, would lowering the PH of my solution be sufficient? Or am I missing something?
You are going too fast for me. Use salt use no salt and then use NoSalt but then dont use NoSalt. I'm sorry i don't understand no more. I'm also translating Englisch to Dutch in my head so that slows me down even further. I just wanna make a simple solution. I can get some chemicals in the hardwere store. Like sulfuric acid, LH lemmon acid (to clean coffee machines) And acid for a 6V car battery. I can buy salt, sea salt and salt with no jodium. And i have the good ol Baking Soda and the normal Soda for laungry. Perhaps you can help me come up with the best recepe. Greetings from the Netherlands,, Kitty.
Do you have a specific purpose in your videos that you don't tell about the mistakes you made, but you hope that no one notices when you've messed up or forgotten something? Here you made at least two mistakes, but neither of them you admit. What value do you think there is to the viewer in a video that shows obvious mistakes in the event, but you want to hide them? When someone who doesn't know enough about things yet and does the same thing as you - wonders why it doesn't work? And when he doesn't get it to work, the surprise is even greater when he sees that mysteriously your version started working? What is the benefit of such opaque content to the viewer? You think you get credit for that? It may be that the uninitiated consider you their great hero or superhuman wizard when YOU make what they can't make work. Or else they'll label your video as one of those who just do scams - content that the thing you're presenting has no chance of ever working! Is it good for you?

How do you deal with waste?
So you just need a DC power supply.. like a 24 volt 7amp battery charger.. I have one of those.. does 12 or 24v @ 7amps for truck dual battery systems

i have a question. why did the pipe form a black residue around it? what is it ?
It’s the phosphorus in the copper pipe. Harmless.

Fill a pot with water - the side will soon become wet - the wet surface makes it conductive if the liquid conducts electricity.
