"Here is my little baggie of product, which took me over 5 years to make." That's some high quality stuff Cody :b
And then he melts it on a spoon
Grubgotkicked cdfu
@@samalbury9183 And grinds it into a fine powder.
this is the first time I have seen somebody use a spoon to melt some powdered stuff from a plastic bag in a responsible way. good job Cody!
"It can live on this rock next to the potato"
Bravo, new favorite quote.
Ikr
YES
thats what i wanted to say
did you find a new favorite quote or is this still your favorite
"[...] along with some of my other experiments I had in the freezer."
Sounds like my freezer growing up...
@@atrumblood Forgetting about your leftovers for 5 years doesn't count as an experiment.
I've wanted to try this for a while. Thanks for checking it out!
if you want a grey tin sample feel free to hit me up!
Cody'sLab hey Cody! I love your science experiments and I would LOVE grey tin. But you don’t know me. ;P
cody, thanks for inserting both Fahrenheit and Celsius, it makes understanding the process a bit easier without having to convert. Keep up the good work ! :D
Why am I not surprised that Cody's apartment doesn't have any furniture in it?
Apartment?
+Matthew decker
I live in an apartment while attending college.
I stand corrected, The more you know
+Cody'sLab where has your "world tour" video gone?
+William Jennings omfg Spartan decor..... xD pls no
I love your videos! Instead of coming off as a kind of "know it all" guy (like another channel I won't name), you sons like you're actually discovering new stuff together with the viewers. And your sheer enthusiasm and flashes of "oooh, I have an idea on what I'd do next!" is not just entertaining, but also contagious.
Well done vids, sir!
at 5:10 Cody starts to turn into Dexter from Dexter's Laboratory
At *_DEES_* temportur
lOl
Truly Infamous I
Hahaha
hahahaaa thats hilarious
Oh my lawd I just looked at the sub count and I was expecting like 200k because the last time I looked at it was at like 5k, but 1.88mil? Congratulations Cody! I now feel old tho.
Cody are we ever going to see Mercury removed from tuna? Or maybe from some old refrigerators?
+DIY stuff
yes eventually ;)
+Cody'sLab awesome, thanks
+DIY stuff There is only about 0.5 mg in a kg of tuna. It would take a lot of fish to produce a visible amount of mercury.
+DutchPhlogiston how about getting it from vaccine, all he need is about 1000x the amount he need from fish :P
+Leone +Leone If you're referring to thimerosal which contains trace amounts of mercury, cody's going to have an incredibly difficult time finding them because they're not typically used anymore. however it's still very popular in tattoo inks.
Your enthusiasm is appreciated. Good video
German wikipedia lists -48°C as ideal for the fastest transition (the tendency to convert rises with falling temperature, but the reaction speed gets lower with temperature). It also states that metals like Aluminium or Zinc actually increase the rate (although some like Antimony or Bismuth decrease it).
Why were you looking at the german wikipedia page? xD
JEDi Gamer
Because I always check multiple sources (you should, too, and not only wikipedia) and my first language is German. All the english sources seem to have copied the "approximately -30°C" (most even use the same sentences you find on wikipedia), so I'll go with the "-48°C", because there has to be a reason someone specified it to within a degree. ;)
superdau Interesting, thanks for the info!
+JEDi Gamer
Btw. for such things as numbers you can even check sources in languages you don't speak at all. You may be far from speaking the language, but it doesn't take long to get a feel what someone is generally taking about, be it Spanish, French, one of the scandinavian languages, maybe even Russian. Just try it!
In this case most list values below -40°C and many of the experiments that show this use a temperature that low as well (that's more a hint for Cody now than you I guess ;) ).
By Far the coolest channel, I'm subscribed to almost 200 channels and, Cody's Lab is the most informative/entertaining. Keep it up Cody! Well Done.
It's like Tin cancer.
right!?
+VertigoFrost Where i'm from we call it tin plague.
+VertigoFrost wikipedia refers it as tin leprosy. ;P
+Cody'sLab More like tin Herpes since it's manageable but can come back. :P
+Cody'sLab can u do more mining vids
This has got to be one of the best channels available.
i dont know why i watch your videos, im not even a chemist. Some how, some way, i keep watching your videos, like, every single day
Idk because chemistry is still cool?
I feed off of Cody's knowledge like food XD
im a huge science nerd so I cant stop watching
you are easily the smartest person on RUclips. please never stop what you do, it's amazing
Am I the only one laughing my ass off at the fact he keeps a potato just sitting next to his window? 8:30
probably... you can replant them and grow them yourself doing that.
You my friend are the first RUclipsr that I actually watched all the videos and kept up to date, love your content you know what your talking about and looks like you love what you do keep up the work entertaining others and me as well, also learning little more then I ever knew on the experiments you do in your videos, Thanks for your content, and have a good day.
instead of cooking up heroin Cody cooks up tin
I also made grey tin in my freezer. My starting material was metallic tin from Rotometals. There seems to be a lot of questions about how pure the tin needs to be for this experiment to work but I found the Rotometals tin sufficient. It also took several years for mine to convert.
I had no idea that you could "seed" the conversion with a bit of grey tin. That is very interesting!
"Little baggy of product" uh huh right Cody.
I can't help but smile when you laugh Cody, I like what makes you do that.
Every time I see any of the intros to your videos I always think it says "Cody Slab"
Cody is one of the reason why I love chemistry too much...
Dude! I love your videos. I can't wait for them!
This was incredible!!!! Very cool to see it all, thank You for putting this together and sharing it with us!!
It seemed like the tin was being "corrupted".
We don't discuss the gem war here
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
i would prefer you respect terraria here my guy
King Jordan Heeeey, thats pretty Steven Universe.
Quick, build a Hellevator!
Cody's channel might be my favorite out of all my subscriptions, so freaking interesting. Keep up the good work and keep having fun man!
Simple enough to do. Great video!
I love this channel. I am majoring in Software Engineering now, but I've always missed three classes ever since I finished high school. Those classes were chemistry, physics and geography.
random tiny vortex on the left at 6:13
Not very random, heat causes air to rise and as cool air replaces it you get a vortex
I love your enthusiasm for your experiments. You make me wish I paid more attention in chemistry
moms will be moms, I remember I made a model of the planet mercury and my mom slapped it out of my hands and threw it away, because she thought I was playing with chemicals.
Joshua Pierre if my mom were like that, it would happen to me every second day.
Joshua Pierre wtf???
Good video! My memories of tin was back in the 1960's when my cousin and I were the teenage mad scientists. We had no computers available back then to distract us so we had an idea to carve out ingot molds out of blocks of wood and melt metal in solder pots for them. He had solder bars to work from and I had tin. His fell with a thud on a surface but mine was lighter and had a golden sheen and made a clink on the hard surfaces.
Hm...a coin video next? Can't wait! 😏
Same
+CyntrastGamer He will maybe be making batteries from coins?
that was a lot of poundage of coins there at the end... wonder if he's gonna separate the metal and make ingots
+James Davis or he could use them as currency like they're meant to be used
TheDominickel you're an idiot
i love that you put snippits of the next video in the last ones, it gets me hyped to watch you haha
Why don't they do more channels liky Cody's? It's outstanding!
+Александр Санников whos THEY?
I think We have More then inoff from Codys lab,
After watching your videos for a few months I've actually got very interested in chemistry and I can't wait for a chemistry class. I love your vodd
Vids
5:11 Cody seemed to aquire an accent for the words "this temperature" Lmao
Wow Cody I just realized you're at 241k subs! I've been watching since around 5k subs and I've loved every vid I've seen. You're one of the last few real youtubers who dedicates their time to do what they love. Keep up the great vids man.
He's over 2 million subs now.
It's unusual where you cool something to speed up a reaction, well, at least I think so lol.
Cody you're like a wizard dude! This is my favorite channel.
Who's sick in bed watching Cody too?
Me
+Matthew Plascencia yeah i have a bad cough.
I bruised my knee..... if that counts, ye
+Wyatt Duncan I actually thought this was funny, i called in sick this morning from work because i have the flu.
Me
Holly cow Cody. the subs are rolling in. I never new you would be famous. awesome job.
just grabbed lunch and saw the new video
God is real
+Joep Stuyfzand fuk no
Snowballs25687 this gift can only be granted by someone with such power
Joep Stuyfzand it was granted by the mighty god named 'Cody'sLab', i don't believe in god honestly but i like tiny jokes about religion (the ones i can understand atleast) :P
+Joep Stuyfzand It's sad people are so brainwashed into disbelieving in God. They will wake up one day, hopefully it won't be to late.
Paul Hollowell Not sure if troll or serious
That tin forming looked like feathers, so cool.
I think the grey tin turnes into white tin of warmth, and when you pressed the spoon on the grey tin, it made friction, and friction makes heat. That is how I think the grey tin turned into white tin :♧
:)*
I mean the melting point of tin is like 450F or something. You'd have to have some SERIOUS friction to generate that kind of heat. Way more likely due to pressure.
I don't know what 450F is, but the melting point is 320-350°c
+Marius Haugen well a super quick google search will tell you that 450°F is equal to 232.2°C, and that is maybe a bit low, but around the right area.
Last I checked, that would work on melting small quantities of tin.
You are amazing, thank you for all the work you do for the awesome videos you make.
Hey cody!! Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram. BUY GOLD.
Man i love gravity falls.
MemoTV BUY GOLD
*BUUUUY*
or is it bye? 🤔
lindholmaren as
Nice shirt
Well well well, even the unexpected spanish inquisition takes my advice seriously. What a treat !
We'll meet again Bill.
I think it's really cool how it can spread like a seed. Awesome!
I wonder if the conversion would still happen in a vacuum
Oh wow, there's me asking Cody to make such a video on tin pest and it turns out he's done one already. Very interesting Cody, I did wonder if it was a reversible process and clearly it is.
you could say its a Tingot
4:20
Smoke tin everyday.
a tinny at 420
_(Please note this is for entertainment purposes.)_
This is pretty interesting. I put a glass ampule containing 10 grams of 99.99% tin in the freezer many years ago, it took only a year or so to completely turn into powder. Then I left it untouched, until I saw this video. From what I can tell, it's now an even finer powder than what I remember it to be. I guess the transition was still ongoing in the past few years when I'm not watching.
what would happen if you used it to make bronze?
I was wondering the same thing
darkels then he'd have some bronze? I'm not sure what you expected.
when melted it returns to metalic tin ,so nothing would change
You just created what I have been battling and try to avoid at all costs. I've had tin whiskers detune several pieces of radio equipment.
Hey Cody, can you make a a parabolic mirror using a heating element, recycled window glass. stannous chloride and silver nitrate? i thought to make the window pieces modular so that you can put multiples together and make the parabola. Love your show, keep up the good work!
Love watching your experiments Cody. You make science fun to learn about. Keep it up boss!
Ahhh! Gravity falls T-Shirt :o
I love that show!
You know you're a geek when this kind of stuff excites you. ^^
What's this video with the pennies at the end here?
looks like he is sorting between new zinc pennies and old copper pennies, presumably so he can melt down the copper ones to get more copper value than the 1c
+Rocco Croce i bet its the next one... in each video at the end he puts scenes from the next video (most of the times)...
Ah yeah I think you guys are right. Excited for this one. Hope he keeps upping longer videos.
+IamIUareU
correct, this is an upcoming video. wont be next though.
+Cody'sLab thanks for the content Cody
i am wondering if you could use a laser to heat up the powder enough to make it metallic you could 3d print with it.
dont you just love alotropes?
Not really
In an applied climatology class, we got off on a random tangent about tin cans. The professor mentioned that Arctic or Antarctic expeditions were a reason most of our cans are steel now because the tin would "turn" and the cans would become brittle (he admitted he was not a materials scientist and that he wasn't really sure what that meant or how it worked).
...and now I know!
Is this the Ice Nine of tin then?
DON'T FORGET TO BE AWESOME!! Not sure if you got that from the Green brothers, but it still brought a smile to my face :)
gravity falls shirt!!!!!! thats absolutely my favorite show, so sad it had to end but the way it did flowed perfectly, so im not all too mad about it
How can people not like his videos there amazing and really good quality
time to go toss some tin in the freezer and hope something interesting happens.
+rallekralle11
Prepare to wait 5 years
Love the changing of colors. very cool...
i like your gravity falls shirt
Hear me out guys. At approximately 5:48 in the video, it appears there's a piece of Grey Tin to the left of Cody's right index finger that looks like guy's head.
Thanks for all you do man!
whats grey tin uses??
+TmanGaming Ever Heard Of 'Google'?
+TmanGaming wow such burn
TmanGaming But i love being an asshole to people who dont do simple things cause there lazy :(
idontuploadjustwatch shush ur not part of this
Snowballs25687 so why comment asking any question anywhere? how come you aren't berating this video if you can just google it? how come you don't berate all informational video if you can just google it?
Cody, you are an inspiration!
Moral of the story: don't keep your fuel in tin canisters if you're going to the arctic ;)
I told a chemistry joke..... There was no reaction.
anotha one? k
What don't you understand about copper? It makes perfect CENTS!
***** lol
+Marmadude I heard you lost an electron. you better keep an ion that
+12345Unicornio Are you positive?
What do you call a fish with two sodium molecules?
Two NA (tuna)
Budumtsssssss
Two scientists walk into a science bar. The first one says "Ill have some H2O" The second one said "Ill have some H2O too" the second one dies. Why?
H2O2 is hyrdrogen peroxide. he drank it.
Cody must be one of the few who uses water distiller for distilling water.
seems like you could use it to sabotage something made of tin
+thestalkinghead Only in siberia, elsewhere the cooling required would kinda give the game away, don't you think?
But do watch the gallium on aluminum videos, you could really sabotage something with that. Makes me queasy every time I think of it while driving my aluminum car.
+thestalkinghead it is actually a problem with storing older tin exhibits in museums, and old organ pieces etc in colder climates.
+thestalkinghead pure tin objects are quite rare plus you need really low temperatures.
Various crystal matrices also help catalyze white tin onto it's grey allotrope to get the reaction going.
dat laugh at 6:34
Cody. It's not pressure that turns the grey tin back, it's the friction, as the particles are so small they are easy to heat up.
OH YE GRAVITY FALLS!!!!
Talk about patience! Impressive!
Bet Napoleon wishes he'd watched this video before venturing into the cold
A better way to initiate the onset of grey tin is to take cold white tin and place a piece of germanium in contact with it. Germanium has the same crystalline structure as grey tin, and can behave as a seed for tin pest the same way a small amount of grey tin can.
+Bill Smathers Interesting, I wonder if this is why tin whiskers became a REAL problem with germanium transistors?
@Cody'sLab, The α-β transformation temperature is nominally 13.2 °C (55.8 °F). When you are crushing the gray tin with a spoon, you are increasing the temperature by transfer from your hand.
I hope you make a living out of this, Cody. I'd watch forever
Wow that was awesome. I can imagine this would have been an inconvenient conversion if you were actually making something out of tin only to find it had crumbled into dust on you.
you named your little ingot Cody Slab, thats adorable. xD
That's some nice tiyen. Tiyen tiyen tiyen tiyen tiyen.
Love this work, i see that your future is bring andc filled with money and gold my friend..
Cody my respect for you has grown due to that shirt
I've never heard of grey tin, thank you!
great video! wish you described the molecular structures and talked about chemical stability though, that would have made the video classroom worthy!
Allotropes are cool. Great video, thanks!
This process reminds me of Ice-9. Great video!
Dinner at Cody's' "... Where did you get that spoon!?!?!"
That Bill Cypher shirt! Woo!! Cody is a Gravity Falls fan!
Damn it... I forgot how to be awesome.. Thanks for the reminder Cody!
