Yes you are correct about inefficient but if you need nitric acid and you dont have a distilation set up with lab glass this is one way to do it. Its much better to use sulfuric acid and potassium nitrate together as a poor mans nitric lol glad you are trying out other methods Ernie, i think its awesome and you are doing great my friend!
@@garrettmillsap Thanks Garrett. I’m going to give that a try in a couple of weeks. Next week I’m going to do the distillation procedure. We’ll see how that goes. I still don’t have much patience for this stuff but I’m getting there, it’s interesting and I enjoy learning this. Thanks for the encouragement. Take care Garrett 💪🏻
I have frequently made fuming by way of distillation. Its easy and safety was also a simple process. Its almost as easy as this and you end up with such a superior product that this makes no sense to me any longer . Initial cost for flask fittings and condenser tube was under 100. I used brown glass bottles to store it and the stuff i made three years ago is still smokin when i pop the cap .
@@danglss76 Hi Daniel, any relation to Greg Gagne the baseball player? Thank you for your insight and input, I deeply appreciate it! Yes, I am aware of the process you mentioned. The purpose of a lot of my content is most of my subscribers in everything I do are beginners. I do my best to bring everything I do to their level of understanding and what they can comprehend. Then slowly bring them to the level of where I’m at. In a week or so I will be doing an episode where I will use a small distillation process to make a stronger Nitric Acid which most of my subscribers will be able to make and use. I understand that individuals who are more advanced in what my channel has to offer can easily get bored. I appreciate what you have to share with me because I have learned from individuals like you who make me and my channel better and safer. If I can use you for a reference to communicate with should I have any questions that may come up would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Daniel and thank you for being here with us.
@@SV_Try_Magic Hi, I hope the two of you are well. Yes, I have one. I like to do various projects in various ways. Some of my subscribers really have nothing to work with and I like to educate them that there are more ways than one to do most things. Knowing that some ways are more effective than others. Thank you for your insight. I deeply appreciate you being here with us. Take care 🤗
@@AquaDonkeyProspecting Hi AD, thank you and may your Wednesday be prosperous. Would you be able to email me, I have some questions I would like to ask you about Patreon? Thanks AD, d_on707@yahoo.com
@@ObsoletePencil LOL 😂 Thanks OP, that’s great! You would not believe the individuals that would flip out if I went PPE LESS. It’s a vicious group that group 😂😂😂
@@JesperLauritsen-m7z Hi, great questions! I’m not sure how strong it is because there are many differing factors in each procedure and the individual performing the process. But this is a very weak version. Yes, it can be used for Aqua Regia. Either next week or the week after I will do a distillation process to make Nitric Acid. This version will be stronger than the last one. And can be used for Aqua Regia. The real poor man’s acid for Aqua Regia is mixing your Nitrate with Hydrochloric Acid with your gold without performing the two processes I mentioned above. I hope I answered your question and that it is helpful. Thank you for joining us! It’s great to have you here. Take care.
@ You’re welcome and thank you my brother! Your question has prompted me to do an Aqua Regia project to see how effective this Nitric Acid I made will work so we all can see it. Thank you!
@@a3skywarrior929 Yes sir, it’s a pretty good way to get some nitric. Next week we’re going to make a stronger version of this. We’ll see how it goes. Take care my AU brother 💪🏻
Thank you, I am part of the Au family now.

Very interesting and informative Thanks Ernie for another great video
@@mandybrown7758 Hi Mandy, thank you and you’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Nitric acid is one ingredient to purifying your gold. Take care 🤗
awesome bro
@@CornelioLigat Thank you my brother, I’m glad you enjoyed, Im happier that your here with us. Take care 💪🏻
I think i drove by you yesterday when i was dropping off a truck i was towing,silver city
@@jasonenlund4210 Hi Jason, it could have been my son, I was home all day. Please make sure you get my attention when you see me
🚙💨👀 take care 🤗
You need a reflux condenser to do this properly. You should be able to get one with a basic organic chemistry set.

You amaze me, Ernie ! A man of many talents!!

Imagine going through an entire life and not getting a single scar.
I'd be embarrassed.
Don't be so scared of a little acid burn.

How strong is it ? 🙂
can it be used for aqua regia ?
