According to wikipedia, the price for cesium is $11000 per kilogram, divided by 1000 is $11 per gram. If you have 84 grams of cesium, that means you threw $935 dollars into the pond and watched it explode. That is well worth the money...
@@WAVtbl As he pointed out, listed price is no way near the actual cost. The reason it cost so much to order Cesium is the insane shipping and handling that comes with a material that blows up if you look at it wrong.
**3 years later** Hi guys, Cody's Lab here. To celebrate 10 Million subscribers, I'm going to create a highly radioactive play button. *dips finger in mold* Well, I have 6 fingers on this hand now, but I'd say it's coming along nicely.
@@spamlord7570 Its used in Lithium Ion batteries because it's good at being used as a battery. You really dont want to touch lithium, which is an Alkali metal (reacts with water).

Really happy to see this Cody. I knew it wouldn't take long for you to hit this mark back when I found you at around 20k. It's well deserved! Here's to 10MM!
oh thank goodness im so glad its a joke that skin explodes on contact with water i thought id just been getting lucky my whole life havent showered or washed my hands or had anything to drink for a week so thirsty ty for helping me out here
I'm a welder and have to agree although admittedly I sometimes get lazy and will do a few quick welds bare handed but never a good idea I have several scars from burns do to my own stupidity
Merging two atoms is fusion not fission. Fission is splitting an atom. If he manages to fuse two atoms, he'll become the most famous person alive and solve all of our energy problems. Cold fusion has been sought after for many many decades.
He probably mistyped fusion, he only used one "s" and "u" is next to "i" on a keyboard, making it very likely that such a mistake would occur. And fusion describes the process of multiple atomic nuclei coming close enough to form a new atomic nuclei not merge.
So close to 2 000 000 subs!!! You can be proud of yourself Cody, cause we are! In fact, if we include the ones who unsubscribed over time, you already reach 2M different subs, just not at the same time.
The half life is far to short, and it is far to rare, so it's impossible to have a measurable amount for more than 20+ minutes. It's also highly radioactive.
walking cows is actually pretty common in Germany... once I worked in a more rural area and if I went home from work it did happen quite often that I had to wait for the cows to cross the streets first...
People might think that he doesn't know science but he probably wastes a lot of money for us to watch this video while he has to go through a bunch of trial and error.
Hi Cody, I have a great idea for your vaccum chamber. As we all know small devices produce some heat while working, but that heat quickly disappears in the air. What if you leave for example a flashlight on something which insulates heat from the walls. Will that overheat or it will radiate heat as an IR light like spaceships do?
someone more knowledgable than me said with the impurities he maybe got it to be worth 3-3.5k. He also needs tons of permits to sell the stuff legally, can't ship by air, and need to sell it to an approved buyer.
Right, well there's a number of things going on here. First, the cesium he distilled (from the much more stable and safe CsCl) isn't particularly pure, hence it wouldn't be worth as much. Purifying cesium is incredibly dangerous and expensive to do. Second, transportation. Transporting purified cesium is incredibly dangerous if not done properly and expensive in general. Third, since its such a reactive compound, I imagine you need all sorts of permits and licenses to sell it, not to mention taxes for this sort of thing, so even if the cesium Cody made was pure, and he could figure out how to transport it, he couldn't sell it to anyone.
Lol god I always get such a nostalgia burst when I hear that terribly mixed opening jingle for old Cody's Lab. I cannot believe he never fixed that. Why didn't he fix that?? hahaha.
You're quite a talented bloke Cody. Keep up the enormously entertaining videos. I'm surprised you have so many subscribers, being such a niche audience. Well done. Regards from one of your fans from England.
I heard somewhere that it's expensive because it's very hard to safely ship it due to it's reactivity. You can really only make it, and keep it where it is.
Very impure. Lots of cesium oxide, silicon, and chlorine can be found in his play button. I'd say there's far, far less than 84g of pure cesium in the play button. Plus, the amount of pure cesium in the sample would rapidly decay over time given the lack of proper storage conditions.
More like $3,500. Current price is $40.80 per gram (assuming 99.9% purity) - which i dont think Cody would have achieved due to the unreacted lithium and other contaminants. But still, not cheap.
He didn't buy cesium. He bought cesium chloride and converted it to cesium metal. A quick look on ebay, 50 grams of CsCl can be had for $25 right now. Without doing any math (to find out exactly how much is needed for an 84g play button), in Cody's first distillation attempt he added 200 grams, so $100. Another peek on ebay, 20 grams of Lithium is another $15 or so. Add in some steel pipe, a broken flask, mineral oil, welding rods, and energy, and yep, you're looking at about $200, not $8000. Biggest problem with having $3000-whatever worth of cesium is finding someone that would actually want to buy it, IF the government would even let him sell it w/o all sorts of licenses, taxes, fees, handling requirements, etc. His best option is to throw it in a lake.

That's because francium doesn't exist in quantities greater than an atom at a time. It's too unstable. Also, how do you know it's more explosive than caesium?
Francium is also super radioactive, it would be awesome if they could create a lump of it, but there going by reactivity relative to the other alkali metals there's a safe assumption that the reaction would be greater, but i doubt by much.
James Watson Well, I mean the lower elements just smoke or nearly explode. Cesium explodes on contact with water, creating an explosion that destroys glass, and Francium... It is unknown but the explosion would probably spit out radioactive material, and destroy it's container. I mean, if a lump WAS created, It would radioactively decay into another element. Good luck getting it with it poisoning you nor it decaying
100 grams of nearly pure caesium went for $535 two decades ago according to a thirty second google search. (I could probably find more recent data but im lazy) which is about $830 today. No where near $3360
Colin D I didn't look it up cause I don't really care but if I remember right Cody said it was worth more. I may have misheard, I don't think so but I'm not watching the video again. I'm sure I will never own or sell either.

Solid lithium play button. To stop the annoying reactivity, just dunk it in bucket of water a few times! The water will help form a protective layer of oxidation, so the lithium stops reacting with everything. :)
i've also done stick welding with bare hands and actually it works. Unless you get a hot spark on your hand that hurts a little but overall it works just fine.
it really depends on how long you're gonna weld with it. you can end up with first degree burns from the welding, not the heat but the 'radiation' i dont know the english word. the rays.. what ever im a welder burned my chin because my weldin helmet didnt have a leather slap on it.
The amount cesium goes for depends on purity. I've seen estimates say $200, though that's what he spent on products to distill the cesium he had (which wasn't in its pure form.) So it could truly be anywhere from a couple hundred, to a couple thousand dollars.
You need to degas the RTV for your mold before casting. Just run it in a vacum chamber for a few minutes until it stops foaming. Much better results with no voids, etc.
You are the coolest dude ever and I would be humbled and honored to learn chemistry from you in person. The videos are very educational but they obviously can't show everything

Considering that he made several thousand just for recording that, money especially well spent
And he spent 200 so thats about 1135 dollars plus the time he put into making the cesium and recording the video

Cody when are you going to split an atom?
Gooby the question is, when is he going to merge two atoms! He said he would build a fision reactor
Merging two atoms is fusion not fission. Fission is splitting an atom. If he manages to fuse two atoms, he'll become the most famous person alive and solve all of our energy problems. Cold fusion has been sought after for many many decades.
christianled59 fusion reactions have been done
I said cold fusion. Fusion has never been efficiently done in controlled environments.
He probably mistyped fusion, he only used one "s" and "u" is next to "i" on a keyboard, making it very likely that such a mistake would occur.
And fusion describes the process of multiple atomic nuclei coming close enough to form a new atomic nuclei not merge.
So close to 2 000 000 subs!!!

I swear if there's a zombie apocalypse Cody's gonna make cesium plutonium grenades or something
I thought that it said “RADIOACTIVE” ☠️💀
Solid lithium play button.
To stop the annoying reactivity, just dunk it in bucket of water a few times!
The water will help form a protective layer of oxidation, so the lithium stops reacting with everything. :)
That's so metal!
xD
Dawg did you just light snow on fire.
That's the pond you threw depth charges in. I feel sorry for those fish
What fish?
***** Idk I just assumed the pond had fish cause I'm a silly boi
***** In that case, I feel sorry for that algae and those bacteria
I think he was making a joke that there arent any fish anymore
aeori Oh. Lol
your enthusiasm is infectious and it is a joy to watch your experiments
Welding with no gloves? How?
Gloves with a little buzz box = not needed. unless you have problems keeping your hands off hot metal. ;)
Cody'sLab who was the 1 millionth subscriber? i think i was close
well yes but getting it from the sun is far more probable.
i've also done stick welding with bare hands and actually it works. Unless you get a hot spark on your hand that hurts a little but overall it works just fine.
it really depends on how long you're gonna weld with it. you can end up with first degree burns from the welding, not the heat but the 'radiation' i dont know the english word. the rays.. what ever im a welder burned my chin because my weldin helmet didnt have a leather slap on it.
Do francium next.
Ninja lemur not likely
A man walks into a bar carrying a large block of francium. Before he gets through the doorway everyone in the bar is vaporized
Ninja lemur i also thought of it but its cery rare and risky
kek
U cant contain francium its too reactive
UA-cam sends him a play button and he makes his own using it, madlad
"lets throw it in a lake"
....aaaaaaaaaand there goes roughly seven thousand dollars...
He said it was only $200, though.
Richard Roller No, he made it with $200 worth of materials
80cesium cost like 500-2000 bucks.
The amount cesium goes for depends on purity. I've seen estimates say $200, though that's what he spent on products to distill the cesium he had (which wasn't in its pure form.) So it could truly be anywhere from a couple hundred, to a couple thousand dollars.
3:16 Happy 4th of July everyone!
"A FEW SECONDS LATER"
well, that was out show! thank's for coming!
Bruh you like un-stoned shaggy at 10:00
Hipster shaggy
You need to degas the RTV for your mold before casting. Just run it in a vacum chamber for a few minutes until it stops foaming. Much better results with no voids, etc.
the lack of security is striking. I am waiting for a Darwin award
You should make a cesium Fleshlight
That would definitely cause explosive ejaculation. Well, it would be explosive anyway.
Yeah, flashlights are for chumps.
*f l e s h l i g h t*
nah not a fleshlight
a *F L E E S H L I G H T*

you've got a vacuum chamber, why not use it to expel all the air bubbles from your moulds?
Cody is one of the probably less than 1000 beings that have ever lived on Earth that have dipped their finger in liquid cesium.
"sooo reactive with everything"
sounds like my ex
9:57 R.I.P. Grant Thompson
Actually 999k
You are the coolest dude ever and I would be humbled and honored to learn chemistry from you in person. The videos are very educational but they obviously can't show everything
I do not believe Cody threw 84g Cesium into the pond.
I feel he could live in a zombie apocalypse.
8700$ thrown into the lake
if the play button was to go in the lake
3 things cody, 1) love your videos 2) i think the reason its more valuable is due to difficulty storing it 3) $200 i could get my processor for that
*Sneezes* Whole face explodes
are you saying i can consume cesium sprinkled french fries (instead of salt) and be ok?
StoneTheMason _Music just dont drink water until its out of your system
Thomas Buddle hmm...that would be hard. Considering how thirsty i get after french fries.
what did the librarian say to the gamer?

never seen that one before
He told me "An open mind is like a fortress, with it's gates unbarred and unguarded."
If you get that reference, you really do play too many games.
