      I hope you see this comment, because the irony of this is that he’s building the “chicken hole base,” which is his attempt at being completely self sufficient in a completely closed system, as a mars settlement would be. All he’d need is to make sure the base is apocalypse proof and the statement you made is 100% true

    I don't want to be "that guy", but gold isn't a platinum group element: the platinum group consists of platinum, palladium, osmium, rhodium, iridium, and ruthenium. However, gold is a coinage metal, along with copper and silver. One distinguishing feature between the true platinum group elements and gold is that the platinum group catalyzes the hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons and nitrogen (as in the Haber-Bosch process) at around 200 degrees Celsius, while gold does not. Interestingly, the row 1 transition metal analogues of the platinum group, iron, cobalt, and nickel also serve as good hydrogenation catalysts (nickel and iron for ammonia generation, and cobalt for forming formaldehyde), but the row 1 gold analogue, copper, is useless in this regard.

    I came here thinking, because I misunderstood the thumbnail, that Cody carved a ring from a rock, or taking it a step further, he melted the rock and made the ring from the molten results.
    Speaking of melting rocks, Cody, melt some basalt and spin it into fibers. Mix the fibers with resin to make a composite similar to glass-reinforced plastic, or use it to reinforce concrete. Or braid it into a rope. Don't know what I'm talking about? Enter basalt rebar into your fave search engine and let the learning commence.

    I enjoyed watching you getting your gold, haven't done that myself yet, but many other metals. Just ran across these, interested in cleaning up some gold myself, and then you got down to the "tar pits". They look far different than the last time I visited. They didn't have gates and fences then, one could get stuck one's self, then, of course there were people available to pull you out. That was in 62 or 63. There wasn't all that space and rocket stuff around back then either. Very good video of the shuttle, better perspective, with people and things all around, nice shots of the engine, and harnesses, electrical and fluid, I got to see much the same of engines of the Saturn V, some point in my travels.
    All in all, quite interesting look at a part of california I've been through many times, thanks, nice work all around. Semper Fi, John McClain

      @valken666 9 лет назад +5

      ***** Great!
      But there is cupellation, impure silver is melted with lead in a shallow dish made of bone ash, called a cupel. A stream of air is blown across the molten mixture, causing the lead and all the base metals alloyed with the silver to oxidize, whereupon they are either absorbed by the cupel or blown away. Pure silver is left behind. That would work?

    7:47 Question: When you have the zinc, with a mix of silver.
    Can't you separate the two metals without using acids?
    Instead simply use temperature to separate both out.
    For example:
    Would the idea of bringing the temperature up over 961 C thus making both metals liquid.
    Followed by lowering the temperature to something over 419C so that only the silver stays liquid and the zinc becomes solid and drops to the bottom or rises to the top?
    (Since the zinc has a melting point of 419 C & Silver has a melting point of 961 C.)
    Someone please educate me on what would happen

    • @Madrawn
      @Madrawn 8 лет назад +6

      Didn't he say that silver is "soluble" in zinc? I'm no expert, but I imagine it is like salt in water. When salt enters water it doesn't really "melt" so it also wouldn't become a solid again before the water it is dissolved in. But salt is an ionic compound and water tears those apart because it can both attract the negative and the positive ions. Why exactly metals dissolve each other / form alloys I do not know.

    • @moemara
      @moemara 8 лет назад +3

      Zinc has a boiling point of 907 so if you heat both metals up to 961 C the Zinc would evaporate and you will be left with the Silver.
