No it's an extra purity step I do. You can just extract into the ethanol but it will have more mixed components in it. That's all. You can use other organic solvents too. Shellite is just cheap and accessible, is very volatile, and doesn't leave residues.

My pleasure 😊

It's just and 02 censor socket. You can get one at any hardware/AutoZone like store

They eat a LOT! Fill its crop up sever times a day at least. They start to self feed pretty early, which is handy, but will continue to feed off formula well into adulthood if you don't stop at some point. It's important to slowly ween them off fluids onto solids as they grow. If he's a month old you must be doing OK. :) good luck

Hey dude :) I flew in opposite direction this time. I'll try find you a link. ..

Here's two links to them on Facebook. I thought they were here too sorry. Add me there and I can send u the powerbox fried shots ;) I also checked it today... I have no meter installed. This is insane. Like no meters!

If u look ontop of the big green hill it's there ^ Im the only house on the property. The second white structure is a shed. :)

They are primarily insectivorous. So any insects you can get may help. They are omnivores though and will supplement their diets with anything they can find. So you often see them in bins eating scraps of everything. This isn't a good diet for a growing chick long term, but it shows that you can feed it things like bread or meats or vegetables etc. They will need protein supplemented if this is the case. Protein powders can help there. I buy a formula made for insectivorous birds. It's basically crushed bugs and nutrients that you sprinkle on food or make into a slurry. Try small pieces of meat etc. Size accordingly to chicks size. How big is it? On a dripper?.. or eating on his own yet?

@@ProfessorKenny his not been able to eat on his own. The same size as the one of the video.

He's going to need something... try a little porridge. If u dint have a syringe or dripper, you can bend a teaspoon etc. But he's gonna need an increase in protein soon. Most birds can't tolerate lactate so don't use milk. Only water with the porridge. Try an find something like mince meat at try get him to eat tiny bits at a time. Eventually he will chug it down off a plate. For now he needs u to feed him every few hours at least. And provide constant warmth

@@ProfessorKenny ok .Will do so

Sure, but probably just cheaper to use synthetic analogues. Nonetheless, if you get to that clean crude point in my video them it's just one extra step. Classically Methylation by heating the oils with methanol under strongly alkaline environments, or ethylation using ethanol and the same process. This adds 2 carbons instead of one so is of little consequence. In fact it's safer to work with due to the relative toxicity of methanol. This is called FAME, fatty acid methyl esterfication...(or for ethanol, FAEE, fatty acid ethanol esterfication). A layer of free fatty acids is liberated which is a direct fuel (diesel equivalent) or concentrated target oils like pigments, aromatics as terpenes, or omega 3s etc. These can be purified depending on the oils stability and size amongst other methods. Each chain differs in length so differs slightly in its boiling point. They can be separated under special distillation conditions (like when short-path distillation apparatus). They also elite from columns at different rates for similar reasons. Being free fatty acids, they are prone to oxidation. It is prudent to collect and store cold under low oxygen (or even nitrogen or co2 streams). Buffers can help preserve sensitive targets too. I have also achieved esterfication using strong acids instead of alkaline with success. As long as we are at more extreme pHs the reaction will cleave the fatty acid chains from their glycerol backbones (ie- TAGs, DAGs, MAGs). Hope that helps.

@@ProfessorKenny Thanks for the response! I figured it would always be cheaper to use artificial counterparts. I just want to see if its even possible to and to learn first hand why its hard to produce natural flavor without some kind of biological method with yeast.

Not too hard. Just a little messy and time consuming, but very possible. Give it a crack. I'm here if u get stuck at any point ;)

Insectivore formula and lean mince work well. 😊

It's not much at all man.... it really isn't; but it all came from only one skin! ;)

Thanks :)

Subbing back :)

Thanks so much :) Hundreds of vids on science and nature... go crazy ;)

They share the same bad rep here. They are pretty amazing if you observe them over their life-cycle. The growth of that beak, the development of metallic sheens on feathers, that crazy neck and huge wings! Although I will admit they emit a gross smell, *I think it is an oil that makes them less palatable (?). This little guy STILL visits the property, but keeps pretty far from me. Most of my releases forget me, well, that is if I did my job right. Can't have them too domestic or they will have lower survival rates out there. Toward the end they need to be weaned off people. Despite how imprinted they seem to be, it isn't difficult for them to revert back to a wilder state. Seamus was special, I will never forget him. :)

@@ProfessorKenny thank you for the replay Wow that’s so interesting thanks for that bit of info that’s awesome what you do 😇 I always wanted to know why they smell that dose make sense

Yup, it sucks - we love them.

They will keep eating milk if its an option. So start exposing them to solids when they are young. By a few months old they should be weaning more and more off milk. I find those baby fruit and vege puree packs are really convenient and a simple transition. Especially toward the end, make sure they are only getting native foods, to aid their chances of survival. As much as bananas and things are tasty and nutritious, they simply aren't available out there in the wild. A fussy possum may eat less and have lower chances once released. Fortunately, they aren't fussy by nature. Born survivors, with a little help when they're young... just like us. :)

@@ProfessorKenny thank you they're about 5 in with tail but really small I think they're at least one month

Keep feeding them milk formulas for a while. But you may notice they at least nibble or taste solid foods if you present them. Try a slice of banana or something soft. Use it supplementary until further weaned. Is it a ring tail or brush tail?

Curiosity. I used these methods on algae. I was simply testing how universal it could be :)

@@ProfessorKenny sounds good. Do you think it is possible to extract te protein and starch from the skin?

Definitely .. I just completed an algae Protein Extraction. Check out Terran Sky on Facebook ;)

Not mangroves. Mostly just She-oaks (Casuarina). And on Bribie Island, Queensland, Australia.

Thanks man. I loved the train vid you shared a little while back too. :)

Thanks :)

Thanks :)

Thanks, and Welcome aboard to the Terran Sky :)

2 peels.. unknown species (a common domestic variety)

Only 2 peels??? How ml that you get?

Mere milligrams or a gew drops of concentrate. Here some is diluted in ethanol as shown in the video

To be honest i'm so stressful because i already extract oil from banana peels using n hexan 1:3 g/v then evaporated by used rotary evaporator and get very little oil...

Well yea... there's not a great deal of oil in it to begin with. What did you expect :) Why do you need a lot of it? What's the purpose of the extraction . Also, hexane will only grab heavier saturated fats, that's y I use ethanol ;) Grabs polar and neutral lipid

Very little. If you're lucky maybe a couple grams. Assuming you started with dry substrate

@@ProfessorKenny we are trying to make biofuel using banana peel do you think it is possible?

Of course its possible. Organic life has fatty chains to extract. There are simply higher yielding species that we prefer, like palm oil or for me, microalgae. If its do help repurchase banana skin waste then sure go ahead. If you're setting out specifically to make a fuel from a plant, then there are simply far better options available

@@ProfessorKenny the thing is we are trying to use your method to extract oil from banana peel. Then, after we get the oil using your method we will add methanol and catalyst mixture to make biodiesel. But how many ml do you think we could get from 1 kg of banana peel?

@@ProfessorKenny we saw some videos here on RUclips that used vegetable oil then they add methanol plus catalyst mixture to make the biofuel. So instead of using the vegetable oil could we use the extracted oil to replace the vegetable oil?

Thanks :)

Thanks :) 1st time flying it. Hopefully my next vids are better
