Calm voice, interesting topic. Especially, the explanation of the magnetocaloric properties of Gd! Would be interesting to have a more in depth exploration of that...
Please get tuned into facts, 1. anti gravity is a product of the center field of a magnet. 2. the center of a magnet when vibrated will repel water 3. If you vibrate granite rock with the center field of a magnet at the correct frequency it will turn like butter. that's just the beginning it will play a Hugh part of our country's future. The anti gravity is only applicable to none iron type material such as glass or plastic. If you have a bar magnet simply tap the center near a trickle of water and watch the water move out of the way. Tap the center field on any none metalic surface and watch it loose weight. You can not use a sign wave type vibration it must be saw tooth . A sign wave signal contains the centerfield, that's what pushes AC and radio signals around the world. A sign wave has three elements on an oscilloscope you only see the two , On a scope you see the positive cycle and the negative cycle you never see the most significant part of the cycle and that is the center field that produces the energy to push the energy forward!!! There is allot to be learned about the magnetic center field .. Please help spred the news ..
Great video, thank you. I shall try the Curie test out with my physics and metallurgy students, see if they can think of a methodology of magnetic strength. Learnt a lot as a high school science teacher.
Good point! My room temperature here in California was about 72 degrees F when I did the Curie point test. If my winter thermostat was set for a low house temperature, chilling the gadolinium in the freezer might not have shown a difference!
Would you add a sequel explaining the neutron absorption properties further? When absorbing neutrons, does Gadolinium then become a different isotope? Does that isotope decay (what half-life?) to another element(s) or is the neutron eventually re-emitted, perhaps at a different energy level?
Good question. I hope to do another video about gadolinium, but the short answer is this: Gd has several naturally occurring stable isotopes and adding another neutron results in another stable isotope. So adding a neutron does not change the atomic number. There is some radiation emitted but no decay into another element. Gd remains Gd.
Of great importance to everyone. The linear compounds of gadolinium are toxic and are not eliminated from the brain. Cyclic compounds are less toxic and are difficult to eliminate. The contrast substance used in MRI investigations can be linear or cyclic. And even if linear compounds are prohibited in a country, you may be surprised to see that linear compounds are still used. Find out what the reality is, don't leave yourself in the hands of those who do the analysis!
Subscribed. You see too many chemistry videos where all they might show is some chemical reactions with the element or a couple different forms of it and a brief description of why it's unique. Now all of these are cool and should be part of the video, but I really appreciated some descriptions of real world applications and the uses and reactionary properties of the element. Keep up the good work. I assure you I'll be eagerly watching

Interesting. My Nd sample is not attracted at all to the strong NdFeB magnet I used in the video. Wikipedia indicates pure Nd is actually anti-ferromagnetic at very low temperatures.

I was administered Gd several years ago. However, I did not know it was in a trial phase. Next day I developed uncontrollable severe itching resulting in bleeding. After these many years the itching occasionally occurs. Is this stuff still in my body, and, is it linear or cyclic? How can I rid this thing?
Warning -I took this stuff as a contrast agent for an MRI. The nurses warned me that it can cause side effects and advised me not to take it but i couldn't reach my Dr. at that time so i took it. I had a terrible skin condition similar to eczema for over a year after. Then it finally disappeared. When i asked my urologist about it later, his response was that it was very unprofessional for those nurses to tell me it could be harmful, totally neglecting the fact that i suffered for a year with an unnecessary illness. He is now my ex-urologist due to this and other errors that he made on me and i will never take it again for any reason.
She was very unprofessional. As a nurse she may have some idea of her area of expertise but a specialist doctor will have a lot more, and of the patient. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing indeed..
Nurses seems to know more than the doctors they work with. Doctors regurgitate what they learned in books or what the cdc or drug regulators say, nurses notice patterns in actual patients. Doctors are more susceptible to biases from the medical community.
There is an assumption that the gadolinium was responsible for the condition she experienced (something not seen with its widespread use). Everyone wants to assign blame or causation without attempting to seek evidence.
The minor metals trade organization indicates that Gd world-wide reserves are more than 1 million metric tons. Most of the reserves are in China (as well as production), but there are significant amounts in other countries including India, Vietnam and Brazil. (also in the US). Current Gd production is reported to be about 7500 metric tons/year. The extraction process is difficult and produces toxic waste so mining must be done carefully to minimize environmental damage.
Gd is almost as common as tin in the earth's crust, but it is distributed only as a minor element in minerals and is difficult to isolate. I paid about $70 for my 100 g sample of Gd. That's about 10 times the current price of silver and 100 times less than the price of gold.
Might make an interesting ferrofluid. Wonder if its low curie temperature could allow it to transfer heat effectively in a targeted range by changing the buoyancy within a magnetic field as temperature changes. I saw you could purchase 200 and 300 mesh powder for .3 and up per gram. Links to documents that are specific about its magnetic properties would be nice? I saw reference to anti-ferromagnetic and am not clear one how it behaves in a magnetic field based on temperature.
I agree. It would be interesting to experiment with a gadolinium ferrofluid. An internet search brings up research articles concerning Gd ferrofluids. Although the articles reference potential refrigeration applications, I suspect there may be other applications relating to gadolinium's temperature-dependent magnetic properties. Thanks for posting your thoughts!
@@science4man Thank you for responding. How about using gadolinia, Gadolinium(III) oxide, based ferrofluid. It is white so I would consider adding a thermochromic pigment for effect. If such a ferrofluid worked wonder if mixed with a magnetite based ferrofluid would result in them noticeably separating under influence of magnetic field.
@@science4man very interested in water desalinization, and i had heard/ read that once the salt water is "transformed" to drinking water the brine that is left over contains lot of minerals including Gadolinium. I was really interested to find out what other materials there in the brine and are they "useful"? Thank you
This so called AMAZING element destroyed my life! … so keep playing like a kid… it destroyed my kidneys and brain for which they say I will never recover…
The magnetic properties of Iron, Cobalt, Nickel,....and Gadolinium, is a fine example of the antipodal affect demonstrated by the optimal form of the periodic table which is a circular calendar containing 6 different cycles, which is formatted by functional correlation methods. the four quadrant toroidal shape gives us not just tantalizing endless antipodal relationships but each quadrant also follows the fibonacci sequence from the center out. This in turn also gives us the instantaneous correlation of the primordial elements Tin- Ytterbium, with the 20 standard amino acids in the alphabetical order, which was self forming. These correlate by function and sequence. image at timeskool The first 36 primordial elements, have immediately noticeable antipodal relationships with the primordial elements Tin - Ytterbium, and this works in both calendrics, and chemistry. periodicity is our next frontier, Time has flavors and functions.
Great video. No distracting loud music/noise and no distracting people's faces to look at.
I'll never take gadolinum for granted again
Chuckle, chuckle.

Sounds like GD might make a good cosmic ray protective shield for spacecraft?
So what countries have a lot of Gd? And how expensive is it?
I was filled with Gladolinium when I watched this.
Is gadolinium common or rare? Is it expensive or cheap?
