Dude, you have THE BEST element/ experiment channel on RUclips
Totally agree!
Seriously! And even among his other videos, this one in particular was a big favorite of mine. Love it. Love the way he explained how his additives worked, showed their chemical structure, touched on how certain functional groups affected the process, etc. Absolutely amazing video, 11/10
i tell ya this video will get ALOT of views
@@BothHands1 I see you in every science video
NileRed would fight you
Imagine jumping in a bunch of leaves in autumm.... Made of nickel
That would hurt
What if they were made of Nickel..ous Cage?
@@CaveyMoth no
Ouch
Imagine jumping in the solution holding an electrode
This was one of my favorite of your videos ever, i loved the trial and error, perfecting your process along the way, and the results are stunningly beautiful. I loved the explanations of why certain additives were used, and how they improved your electrolyte solution. This was such an amazing video, thank you! I never could have imagined it would be possible to metal plate and organic non-conducting material. Fascinating
The mystery to myself of how organic materials, such as leather baby shoes, are metal plated has finally been solved.
For best "paint" coverage with least shape distortion, do several light passes with the can keeping it about 6-10" from the object being sprayed.
If you are doing several items at the same time then the layer on the first item should be dry by the time you finish the last one. Takes a bit of patience, but if you care about preserving the shape and lines then it pays off
Chemistry is awesome
He who persists, wins.
I never realized that making bronzed baby shoes involved so many steps and so many trade secrets.
Thanks for keeping up with this experiment, there isn't enough quality content available on this topic. I would love it if you would create a comprehensive tutorial on your method that covers everything you could possibly need to know.
Yes that is needed
0:49 wow, what is that strange chemical compound brightening additive?
oh, it's black strap molasses!
Those moles sure have to give up a lot so we can electroplate stuff.
@@kenpickett9317 lol

Thanks again to use your own voice!
Yeah! It's one of the reasons I love this channel so much.
Love the new experiment series! Thank you for also showing all the failed attempts! Very interesting!
My father was a chemist. We loved to go with him to his lab. Greetings from Arizona USA!

@@NichtNameee Lol
Greatings from Portugal. Thanks for using one portuguese euro cent
When I saw the coin I came to the comments to see if someone else noticed.
Well done! My wish for next week: How to get a Xmas tree into a standard beaker...
Best comment on the thread 👍
We actually do nickel plating in 3 or 4 tones, well copper and tin too so it is great to see the smart one here also does things we can do from scratch. We are very happy now and hey we love this channel always it is a great place to allow for thinking outside your normal daily ways. Thank you. Lance & Patrick.
Your English has improved greatly over the years. If you work on your "th" pronunciation, it will be perfect.
Impossible for Russians. :-) Zey are eggzample zet it'z impossibull to do zet for zem. ;-)
No! I love his accent.
Well....that was a job well done...the chemistry, the reasoning, the explanations, the learning from disappointing results, the endresult and the editing...all of it.
I don't think this has been addressed so I want to mention it. The fact that the copper layer gradually propagates over the surface instead of covering it at once, means that the conductivity of the graphite layer is fairly low. This has to be taken into consideration either by adjusting the initial current or by using a better conductive primer.
Cannabis fan leaves would look great coated in nickel
Did that also, but with copper only. You can check the results on Alalit profile on DeviantArt.
I just nickel plated my knob it looks stunning!
I'm sure you feel like a duck head 😂
You should plate eggs and send them to how to basic. Good publicity.
Tinplating of Copper is also fun and also pretty easy. You just need to dissolve some tin in hydrochloric acid to form tin(II) chloride, then just add some thiourea to the solition and you are basically finished. now just dip any copper into that solution and it gets coated with tin (because of redox flipping).
great videos! love your channel!
I should try it, tin is better than nickel ?
“… I got zis ugly fing.”
Just broke me. 🤣
Your trial and error process is amazing!!
I've not been doing things "right" as My only successes with plating have been on iron and copper with nickel (using sodium bicarbonate and additives) and iron plating with vinegar and Morton Lite Salt, and additives. the iron requires putting foam on the end of an iron strip, soaking the foam and then scrubbing the part until plated for good results. The solution oxidizes so doesn't stay good long, but the plating itself can get thick enough to pick up a penny with a small neodymium bar magnet.
Very helpful as I am just learning how to electroplate. This video covers as much as twenty others I have watched and then some. Good teaching is a rare and valuable skill and you have it my friend.
Wow this guy is good at electroplating..Keep up the good work and upload more frequently..
I loved your cat
Trial and error, the mark of the true scientist.
I WANT to Thank YOU so much For YOUR video... it’s much thank you
Heck yeah! A new video! 👍👍👍
Awesome video! Love your content, i watch you all the time. Can't wait for your next video.
That's the best and most informative video I've seen so far on copper/nikel electroplating.
While looking for bright nickel plating found this video, explaining very simply to understand...Thank you for sharing ....
I swear if you were my chemistry teacher in high school instead of the granny who only succeeded in teaching me how to fall asleep in class, I'd have gotten into a university. Please use your mad skill to mix up a time portal solution and apply for a job at my high school in 2010!
A fun explanation. Thank you. Might I recommend you try physical vapor deposition. At least for the Cu layer.
When the Russian you learnt in school only helps you understand half the intro... feeling proud yet disappointed that I was once a B grade student .

Amazing video, once I haved see at a store nikel plated leaves and o didn't know how the made it, now I know!
This is really top quality work, and your last one with the batteries too; great stuff! I love seeing the iterative process of experiments like this. The audience is out there for these kinds of videos, keep at it. Someone has to know how to help you get more exposure.
3:18 Holy crap, that magnetic stirring mechanism is awesome.
It’s actually in a lot of hot plates
@@PotatoesAssistant I've gotta get me a hot plate like that.
Cavey Möth
Lol yea it’s really useful
@@PotatoesAssistant I could use it to make spaghetti.
I always wanted to ep something. Thank you for the easy to follow instructions.
It would be amazing if one didn't have to dry the leaves before electroplating - so much of the vibrancy in a living plant is lost, but it's a cool video and proof of concept nonetheless! Looking forward to future developments
I would pay hard cash to hear this guy recite lines from horror films...
I love when he says "soliution" XD
titanium/copper/chromium electroplating/forming, thin metal foil coating, metal balloon electroforming
Excellent video! Thank you very much!
Super cool! beautiful leaves.
Immersing in benzotriazole can prevent copper from oxidizing in the air.
thank you for this vid! I had been getting too rough Cu plating results, but adding alcohol as a surfectant to a weaker H2SO4 solution in the plating bath helped make a smoother surface. Plating metallic items is more involved. I was spending too much time in surface prep. graphite spray is very fast! esp if you would do many parts
Congratulations on such excellent results 🏵
Americans: We won't tell you what's in our plating bath, but you can buy the magic liquid for $100 a liter.
Russia: Нет проблем, товарищ!
Really enjoyed watching this process of plating. :) great results!
This Is cool as heck.
Lookup at the damascene copper plating process. It uses polyethylene glycol (PEG), sodium chloride (NaCl), Janus Green B dye, 3-mercaptopropanesulfonic acid (MPSA). Also consider using acetic acid instead of sulfuric acid. It produces beautiful smooth copper plating!
Much much appreciated man.. Doing a great job... Absolutely love it
My grandfather was an electroplater. He plated my mother's baby shoes in 1944, and we still have those shoes, though we no longer have my mother. She passed in 2016.
Those looks great! Silver leafs! 👍 But how fragile the final products are? Is the metal coatings make them stronger?
Great video.
Fascinating, thank you.
I understand your English way better than of native American speakers, thanks.
Nice skills, the leafs look beautiful!
muy bueno como siempre,SIGUE ASI !!!!! gracias
Wonder if it would look better if you started with a lot less current. Most others ive seen uses 0.01 to 0.05A for a few hours first and then gradually increases it as the copper layer starts to grow to get it even on the whole surface
Very cool 👍👍👍
7:55 forbidden Gatorade
I would like to see a video on how to make platinum electrodes from its salts if its possible.
Good stuff. Keep it up and maybe you will get many more viewers in time
Love these videos.
Have you tried making only copper plating and the quickly spray it with lacquer(?) in aerosol?
In terms of the quality of the end product, you are overlooking the importance of the conductive paint. The nickel over copper resulted better because of the high copper conductivity.
Excellent work!!
Thank you for making a great video.. Well done, and you have such beautiful results.. Awesome..
Could you just nickel plating without copper plating?
cute cat in the end as usual! 😻
VERY nice work!!
Plate some cannabis! Literally 420 jewellery!
Did you try PCR - periodic current reversal to control evenness of plating?
I found that copper acetate gave a much smoother, brighter finish than copper sulfate. I used honey as the brightening agent.
did you use nacl while making make nickel acetate?
Interesting. I think casting could be easier if you are making a few pieces. Could make a one-sided mold in a plaster or silicon rubber (for pewter). The back-side of the leaf could be thickened with wax when needed.
If Egyptian knew this. Mommies would have been different
THIS is so amazing! Thank you for this video! 😍
I love this video! Well done sir. 👍
Very cool 🥰
Wow that was amazing, might have to try that one
Do a flower. :D This is beautiful.
I really liiked this one Thoisoi! Keep it up!
This is the coolest video
Nickel-a metal that has same properties as iron...hmmm,interesting metal.
:)
Is it necessary to plate the graphite coated object with copper first, then nickel? Or can the nickel be plated directly onto the graphite?
amazing work !
What an awesome video!
This is real research documentation
Thiourea can be replaced with Urea? Also the 2,7-disulfonaftonic acid can be replaced with more regular acid?
For brighter finish there must be beter agitation, best is to move the plated object fast in solution.
Brightener cant do it all, thats a high curent for bright coating.
It would be great if you make a nickel coated wreath
Beautiful work! You should sell them!
I tried to make nickel plating with nickel sulfate long time ago, but I couldn't get it. I will try again soon, this video was very explicative to me. An the all about the leaves was brilliant XD
So wait. I could take a plastic spoon, and make it a metal spoon? This is too much power!
