I worked for this man. One of the most inspirational men I have ever met. Thank you John Dinsley for setting my path straight, focused on God, and my future! Hope to see you again sometime very soon!
I guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
I don't usually have patience or attention span to listen to someone talk, so was hesitant to watch at first glance... but I was captivated from start to finish. You see, if something is of genuine interest, ADHD traits fall away. Thank you for educating us!
I was fascinated by this video. I found this while looking for DIY charcoal activation. I started watching and watched it while cleaning my bathroom. It was informative and interesting, and JD's delivery of this information is as readily absorbable as his products.
Thank you so much for this well informed video. I am a strong believer in activated charcoal. I made sure my children carried with them when traveling.
Charcoal is “activated” when it's heated to a very high temperature >600 degrees (>450 degrees w/the use of chemicals). This changes its internal structure making it more porous thus giving it a much larger surface area and making it more effective for things like color and scent removal. This is what "activated" means and how it's done.
Correct as per I mention very high 600-1000 degree with rapid cooling after done. Million or Trillion Porous you can seen on Microscope a small hole able to seen it and more adsorption effect.
@@LeeHill66 Cause, after adsorption full so need to reboil to refresh the bind the charcoal again to make it work!. Until, a certain duration it can no longer hold after used for so long.
Fantastic video!!!! My local tap water only has clorine in it an I'm looking to make a trickle box with activated charcoal to remove the clorine for aquarium. This was very helpful. 🙂
This is the video I was looking for. Thanks guys. I’d love more detailed videos with the chemistry and physics behind charcoal’s properties and behavior.
Very thorough explanation of it's production purpose and use. Thank you for acknowledging Gods hand in creating this to help us clean up our mistakes. Thank you. 10/10 Will share
For the smoke stacks for factories and plants, I wonder if in combination with these charcoal filters, there could be a stage in the filter where electrostatic charge could be used to draw the carbon onto a surface. That way there would be less emissions, and also the carbon could be collected and used for other things.
Great video, I'm getting some, I am an automotive painter and have been breathing through carbon filters for 30 yrs, never thought about it having many other applications. 👍
Excellent Teaching on the History and Benifits of Charcoal. Jesus is Amazing even through his Creation all Praise to God for this information Discovery. Thank you for sharing.👏.
John, I’m trying to engineer a large water filter for a village in rural western Uganda. Last year I dug a well in the village, but there are so many heavy minerals in the water that people are not drinking from it very much, or even washing clothes because the water seems to separate the soap suds from itself. I do not think I can get or make large amounts of ‘activated’ charcoal, but I can get large amounts of locally made charcoal for cooking. What if I made a 50 gallon charcoal only filter, do you think it would help with the minerals?
There are several videos on youtube that show a four 55 gallon barrel sand and carbon water filter... for just the situation you are talking about. I would post a link but RUclips deletes links instantly.
If I make chemically activated charcoal at home then can I use lemon juice to activate the charcoal? I've seen people do this but I am not sure the lemon juice truly activates the charcoal.
Thank you...enjoyed this immensly...was looking for simple method of oreoaring coconut charcoal. I use coconut to do cooking and oil and have coconut shells that I needed to prepare charcoal but needed help. Here I find more ..thanks a billion....🙏🙏🙏.... God bless.
Amazing. I would have rate this video as the best ever I have seen in terms of its educational value. I am into making bamboo charcoal and I am very keen to know which is better chemical activation or steam activation. If John can kindly enlighten me on this.
I love this video❤️❤️❤️❤️. I had to make sure I was buying the right material. I've been using activated charcoal for many years in fact most Filipinos ha e them in their refrigerator and around their house so I grew up with it. But I further learned more about its many benefits during my BS Nursing college days. Is was a must class for Philippine BSN program. Back home in Philippines I can just easily make my own for my air filtration and for my other use. I have bad bad allergies of pollen, wools, dust and odors. My sense of smell is very sensitive.
For those unfamiliar with Celsius, 400°C-1,000°C is equal to 752°F-1,832°F! The steel kilns used to produce steam-activated carbon glow red hot when in use.
Activated charcoal is a wonderful substance, I use it regularly to detox my body. With regards to water filtration: Activated charcoal will NOT filter out fluoride which is a neurotoxin added by governments to make people sick, fluoride also causes cancer. Fluoride is also the key ingredient in pharmaceutical antidepressants. So if you are drinking tap water you are being medicated weather you like it or not! I do not drink tap water as it almost always contains fluoride & chlorine. I buy reverse osmosis water to clean/prepare our foods in it When I use a TDS (total disolved solids) meter it has .0004 parts per million. I only drink distilled water as it is 100% pure and it is .0000 parts per million on the TDS meter.
Not seeing a sensible reason why multiple governments would ad something to water to purposely make citizens sick, that's pretty darn goofy on a world wide basis and doesnt make any sense. They do it in the name of public health, and it does make a huge difference to dental health. Does it have unintended side affects, maybe; is it absolutely crazy to filter it out for your consume, probably not. Is it added to water to specifically make you sick - NO! But if your the type who believes any and every conspiracy theory suppose anyone's opinion wont have you rethinking anything.
Would anyone happen to know if the cloth would be good for a window a/c unit? We moved into a place with no central a/c, and found a used window unit but it smells so terrible when it's running. I'm trying to find a solution to still use it and not have a terrible smell when we want to cool off in the summer months.
First you must spray an A. C. cleaner inside the box and rinse everything carefully with a hose and blow it off with a blow dryer. You must wash it regardless no matter what!!
thanks for details... my question is what is the time or say numder of filtration .... in other words when we should replace activated charcoal in water filter......
That's a difficult question to answer. It would depend on what was in your water, and how much water you are using on a daily basis. Charcoal is like a waste receptacle. How quickly it gets filled up depends on how much waste the user has to get rid of. A household of one will be a lot different compared to a household of 5. Apologies if that wasn't what you were looking for. Feel free to text one us at the office for a faster response: (308)665-1566
I have cooked charcoal of hickory and washed the powder and dried it. Bought calsium chloride. Going to "bake" it. In this case what temperature would be effective? Plan is to put it isolated so when metall glows the carbon will not get directly in contact with the glowing metall. I can’t measure the temperature but im quite confident to make it cook by over 4-600celsius long enough and stabile. I have spent 40 hrs on it already
There are many videos on RUclips claiming to demonstrate how to make activated charcoal. You say it pretty much can't be done. As an average citizen, do you know a way for me to prove whether charcoal is activated or not? Great video by the way. I wish everyone represented their companies the way you do.
A good presentation.. enjoyed every minute of it.. I will get your book. I'm thinking of making my own "bamboo charcoal" for decoration as a hobby when I retire. What type of size of raw bamboo is required to produce those nice "bamboo charcoal" that you have at 8:14? I know hardwood/coconut husks, wood chips and bamboo would shrink during kilning.. would save me from making numerous experiments to find the right size if you could provide the answer.. TQ.
I am working on small scale aquifer charging well for public awareness that is why I need a large quantity of charcoal .After seeing your movie.So many new venues are open now for me.I am highly thankful for your effort Thanks again.
This is the most interesting thing I've seen on RUclips during Covid . Alright, in a couple of years. I'm going to obsess over the applications and potential of AC now. 👍
Hi A) please help me understand. Why normal carbon can cause so much damage that people in carbon fiber manufacturer must wear mask and carbon in the food is bad and this is beneficial? B) in what solution activated carbon bubbles and non activated does not?
Came across as a tech lecture very informative and yes a little long winded for normal RUclips viewers but for myself very helpful on the learning curve, would anyone know how to tell when the charcoal is exhausted in air filteration, yep you fall over lol but?? Also how about fart pads for office use?? ..
So basically, hard wood charcoal does the same job as activated charcoal just not as fast? Obviously depending on the intended use faster may be better but in general it's not necessary if speed isn't essential?
Did you say that the charcoal takes out chloramine? Or just chlorine??? Our city water has a mix of ammonia and chlorine which makes a tight bond and I did not know that you can filter that out?????
Thank you- so very informative- and I will definitely share this video. Now i am hoping i can get the charcoal product I am after from you. Thank you - for sharing your time, passion and knowledge.
@@erzsebetnilsson580 My friend's father has blood in the urine , and take activated Charcoal n heal, need to take charcoal 2-4 hours before take other supplements. Need to take for a while . I just buy 1 , in the past I use A.C n no side effects.
Thank you for the video information of activating charcoal and it's uses. I had just watched a video about using hard wood charcoal (powdered) and washed with pure lemon juice as the acification processing, straining through filters and using 200 degree oven to dry. Though you stated in your video the need for 200 degree celcius = 392 F, was the acification using the lemon juice (citric acid) and the heat OK to activate the charcoal? In an emergency situation it seems as though, by your direction in text, just powderizing the hardwood charcoal would work. P.S. I was waiting to hear from Daniel about the poison neutralizing of the soil using charcoal. You may have covered that but you had mentioned "Daniel" would show such and such. Again I thank you for the information and your desire to please our Heavenly Father.
I know this is an older video but I just had to say, if charcoal is essentially carbon, wouldn't it be a great thing if we could use the very same carbon we pump into the atmosphere to filter to filter itself out....?
John, highly appreciate with your wide explanation about charcoal that really inspire me of how useful of charcoal in our (better) life. Question in my mine now is what different of Carbon, Ash and smoke? Again thank you so much John.
? it recommends using PH 7 but PH 7 is neutral, so it's neither acidic or alkaline so how can that, get the desired effect at a lower temperature ? that doesn't seem logical, if you need an acidic effect ?
In 1999 Eiji Osawa, and colleagues at the Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan, demonstrated that C60 can also be extracted from wood charcoal. As a result, many researchers now visualize charcoal as a structure made up of fragments of these “Buckyballs”. Along with the discovery of nanotubes or “Bucky onions” there is the suggestion of new magnetic andBucky Onion electrical properties. It all sounds a little bit like science fiction. No doubt in time these latest models for charcoal will again be modified. In the meantime charcoal still mystifies even the informed.
Thank you so much for this education. I stumbled into your video in search of ways to deodorize and decolorize used vegetable oil for soap making. I was really confused by the difference between regular wood charcoal and "activated charcoal". I have now ordered the activated batch but in my impatience, I went to home depot and grabbed regular charcoal and started trying it out on a batch of oil. Questions: 1) Do you think the decolorization of used oil can be accelerated by combining charcoal with ascorbic acid? 2) How important is it to heat the oil upon addition of charcoal to achieve both deodorization and decolorization? I've learned a lot in a few hours and I'm grateful for people like you that took the time to share this knowledge on youtube.
Okay my understanding is that ascorbic acid is basically Vitamin C. I see no benefit in adding that for the filtration aspect of purifying the vegetable oil. Provided there is enough contact time between the charcoal and the vegetable oil it would effectively remove the color molecules for sure and the odor may be greatly reduced as well. The ideal charcoal for removing odors however, is a coconut shell activated charcoal as the pore structure of the particles is quite small. The small pore structure is perfectly designed for trapping and carrying out the small odor molecules. This does not mean that odors won't be removed using a hardwood activated charcoal, it simply means you may need to use more hardwood charcoal with a longer contact time to remove both the large color molecules as well as the small odor molecules. Furthermore, heat nor cold effect the way that charcoal works. As a result, we can safely say that if the oil is cooled it will likely add to increasing the contact time as cooled oil is thicker in viscosity that oil which has been heated. Whether one way is better than another is something you will have to trial for yourself. The difference between a regular charcoal, like what you may have purchased from Home Depot - I am assuming a wood based lump charcoal, and Activated Charcoal is that activated charcoal has been further processed with high temperatures of steam. This process will open the pore structure and increase the negative net charge of the charcoal thus creating an activated charcoal and giving it its characteristic pulling powder and adsorptive capacity to trap and remove contaminants, toxins and poisons.

I was really confused by the difference between regular wood charcoal and "activated charcoal". I have now ordered the activated batch but in my impatience, I went to home depot and grabbed regular charcoal and started trying it out on a batch of oil. Questions: 1) Do you think the decolorization of used oil can be accelerated by combining charcoal with ascorbic acid? 2) How important is it to heat the oil upon addition of charcoal to achieve both deodorization and decolorization? I've learned a lot in a few hours and I'm grateful for people like you that took the time to share this knowledge on youtube.
Okay my understanding is that ascorbic acid is basically Vitamin C. I see no benefit in adding that for the filtration aspect of purifying the vegetable oil. Provided there is enough contact time between the charcoal and the vegetable oil it would effectively remove the color molecules for sure and the odor may be greatly reduced as well. The ideal charcoal for removing odors however, is a coconut shell activated charcoal as the pore structure of the particles is quite small. The small pore structure is perfectly designed for trapping and carrying out the small odor molecules. This does not mean that odors won't be removed using a hardwood activated charcoal, it simply means you may need to use more hardwood charcoal with a longer contact time to remove both the large color molecules as well as the small odor molecules. Furthermore, heat nor cold effect the way that charcoal works. As a result, we can safely say that if the oil is cooled it will likely add to increasing the contact time as cooled oil is thicker in viscosity that oil which has been heated. Whether one way is better than another is something you will have to trial for yourself.
The difference between a regular charcoal, like what you may have purchased from Home Depot - I am assuming a wood based lump charcoal, and Activated Charcoal is that activated charcoal has been further processed with high temperatures of steam. This process will open the pore structure and increase the negative net charge of the charcoal thus creating an activated charcoal and giving it its characteristic pulling powder and adsorptive capacity to trap and remove contaminants, toxins and poisons.
