I'm pretty sure Cody made the thumbnail and title like that as a parody, or maybe satire to show what RUclips has become. Also so he doesn't incite violence.
I like to think he does the weird thumbnail nonsense just to make fun of the weird thumbnail nonsense. Also, if he's inconsistent about it, that would be better.
Actually, being inconsistent with imitating all the other thumbnails in existence tells me he's making fun of them. I mean, we already got that weird thinking emoji, the 200000 dollar water vs 1 dollar water thing, the red arrow thing with the words "what's this?" with a unsatisfactory explanation in the corresponding vid; I'm sure there are others...
Good thing you mentioned it's stored in a safety deposit box. It'd suck for someone to break in because they think you have gold lying around in a sock drawer.
your right the thief might die in the attempt wouldn't want him to get a drink and accidentally find codys mercury stash instead Or worse his mouthwash.
I know its kinda unfair to make another request of Cody after he delivered on something so stunning as this, but a high resolution (4k or above) image or even just a few seconds of video of that effect would be gorgeous
When you hammer the foil together, you create areas of greater and lesser density/hardness, that dissolve at different rates. When you stop the reaction and wash it, you end up with a texture, where the softer areas dissolve more than the harder areas. Etching also emphasizes grain boundaries in the metal.
The "sphere" stuck inside is quite impressive, the cavity it left looks so smooth and shiny. Oh, and loved the "behind the scenes" of the thumbnail ! :p
This ball is like an onion. Which means that the ball is like Shrek. Which means CodysLab is just a huge setup to promote the release of Shrek 5's prominent character.
i figured the 'trending' was just paid placement with a couple 'real' trending like how restaurant mashed potatoes are box flakes with one 'real' potato for lumps to make you think the whole thing is 'real' potatoes. same with restaurant guacamole. this makes the 'trending' page, maximum profit with a sprinkle of authenticity.
They are making Cody have to try to conform in some way to compete on trending spheres, it's unfortunate. Let people be creative and authentic. Kind of how we got this far, right?
I don't get it why you say this is clickbait. Clickbait means that you "Bait" a "Click" with a lie. You can see everything the title says and the thumbnail shows in the video
like it's about 50% paid ads and 50% popular videos. But not *just* popular, it need to have some other secret ingredient... Pure views doesn't get a video to trending, nobody really knows how videos get on that list really other than RUclips. Maybe Cody is on to something, and a smiling face helps the algo decide it's a "good" video...
Mark Dombrovan Just because for you a new and shiny phone is a sign of being rich, doesnt mean cody values it too. His phone was working fine (I dont know if thats still the case) and there is no reason to replace it. Not all people have to have the newest best things, even rich people.
Duh Phok, why? Cody hasn't changed at all. His videos are just as wholesome as ever. Plus can you even call this clickbait? He *did* actually show us what was inside the $25k gold ball. You can tell he isn't taking it seriously at the end either, he's just having fun with it. Why's it matter what the thumbnail and title are? I watch CodysLab for the videos, not the titles...
Xander Luciano You and I have subscribed to Cody for different reasons my friend. I subbed to Cody way back because his videos were so educational (the Mine, hydroponic system, metal refinery and ect..). I too used to watch his videos for the great content and not the titles or thumbnails. Not that what he's putting up now isn't great, it's just changed into very mainstream channel drifting from its educational aspirations.
MM420 imagine that "Officer, someone broke into my house!" "Did they take anything of value or leave any evidence?" "No sir, but they cleaned my living room and my workshop."
That segment at the end was absolutely unbelievable, I got so close to my monitor to fully take in the sheer beauty of it, it really was something that I have never seen before! Loving what you're doing, and I love the thumbnail segment!
Rolling the ball across the table was great! Obviously, i trusted you when you said it was heavy, but the sound of that gave me a much greater sense of it. ❤️
Barnacules Nerdgasm you can actually tighten pipe fittings or stainless steel fittings so hard and tight (thats what she said) that you weld the male to female threads together.
An actually interesting whats inside channel is what Codys Lab was secretly all along. The only key difference from the other whats inside channel is that this one is actually interesting
Could the vibration be something similar to a Stirling engine? The loose inner piece would be displacing internal gases as it moves and they could be alternately cooling and heating against the unevenly heated inner surfaces
potently, sure the gold is thick from the surface to the "core" but gold is a good conductor so it may not matter... i don't have any other ways to explain it other than "SCIENCE!!!"
For a while I lost your channel to the algorithm but I'm so glad I've stumbled upon it again. Your vids are seriously some of my favorites on this entire website
Another amazing video featuring more gold than I will ever see in my whole life in reality. :D It's sad to see this channel struggle with RUclips by being so good... :(
This is his job so you gotta do what you gotta do. As long as his content is the same, no one should care what his thumbnail looks like. If anything, trick people into watching this to get some education.
Just continuously make a larger gold ball for your retirement savings. Once you're older the value of gold will make you a tone of profit and have the added benefit of watching your savings grow in the form of a ball.
RB I forget which kind exactly, but 1 of the platinum group metals went from like $800 an ounce up to $10,000 an ounce in 2008.. that's the metal I would collect and save.
I used to be a goldsmith for several years. Never seen a vibrating gold ball but I did make a ring before that had a noticeable pulse at approx. the same frequency as a human heart. It was creepy but it stopped after about 10 seconds. Only happened once and I made hundreds of rings etc
I have considered this possibility but I made several hundred rings and other jewelry (mostly from scratch). It was only one time and I remember it very well. It was a silver Ring with approx. 95% Silver and 5% Copper in the alloy.
After making so much jewelry I think I can tell but who knows what the explanation was for this. I don't have the ring anymore. I don't know where it is right now,sold it, so it is not for sale ;) ....
that gold ball vibrating is because you cody, you sir have made it get very close to critical mass. . . much further and it will collapse and then explode and produce another big bang. A universe within a universe, and one where you and me are gods
Actually that did happen in the form of a temporal causality and manifests the universe as a active simulation by the sustenance of balance in order to sustain the intrinsic quantum loops of the post temporal reality.
@Tinkering With Tech oh sorry I didn't notice, my bad. I also thought it was something that could be done at home with all of those aerogel videos on the internet but after nilered's difficult and expensive journey I realized that it's really difficult to make a good aerogel.
For some reason I tend to forget about this channel and then out of nowhere I remember it exists, but you're legitimately one of my all-time favorite RUclipsrs.
Hi Cody, mabye you could recreate the "Geiger-Marsden experiment", it would be fun to see that done on your channel since it involves gold (goldfoil) and something with radioactivity :D. You could show us how it was done in the 19th century As always i love your content!
I have always wanted to do something like this. Not because it costs a lot of money but just because it's so fascinating to me how metal interacts with itself. So cool.
THE MOTION ANSWER: The people commenting on how the oscillation might be like a modified Stirling engine are very close! The movement IS caused by a differential thermal expansion/contraction across the multiple inner spheres as well as adiabatic expansion in the gas content of the inner spaces, but the differential itself is not driven by gaseous motion or displacement, although it does play a minor role since the ball is in contact with the anvil which acts as a heat sink, but since it is a sphere the point of contact is tiny and thus so is the thermal transfer, relatively. Instead, the motion of the balls is driven by a harmonic expansion/contraction in the surface area of the spheres, which itself is driven by the difference in the annealing rates of the outer and inner spheres as they first gain and then lose heat in sequence from the outside -> in. Using a point source of heating exacerbates this since there is also a major difference in heating/cooling rates from the point-contacts of the spheres upon each other which is dependent on the relative distance between the direction of heating and the direction of gravity, which is the resting-state point of contact for all of the inner spheres and thus the major point of heat transfer between them. Gold is not the only substance that shows this property as many metals with a high thermal conductivity and large crystal grain structures also show harmonic oscillation as grain boundaries are broken and re-formed. Essentially when crystal grains in the material are broken under heating, they release mechanical strain as energy which causes a minute linear expansion/contraction in the material and on a (theoretically perfect) sphere this takes the form of a small force being imparted perpendicular to the surface. Thus, anything on the outside of the sphere is pushed outward and anything resting on an inside surface is pushed toward the center. This force is incredibly small but is magnified during high rates of crystal breakage/forming. Vibrations within the surface area of a circle/sphere are by definition harmonic in nature, i.e. why a wine glass "sings" and so given enough time and a reasonably consistent ratio of crystal formation/breakage, the motion of the inner spheres will settle into the lowest energy harmonic state. You could easily test this by heating the gold sphere with a symmetrical heating element (non-point source) until you reach the point of full general annealing where mechanical stress is at minimum, which for 990 gold is something like 1400-1500 F. Then you SHOULD see the oscillation slowly become smaller as the internal spheres also reach mechanical minimum in turn from the outside -> in. However, if you tried this and saw something different like the oscillation continuing or even increasing... well then that would be very, very interesting indeed!
W. Bush Yup. It's fun being the smartest person in the room occasionally, but life is more interesting when you aren't. (Though, even when you are the smartest person around, there are still things you can learn.)
Thank you Mr. President! But I can't take credit for it... I knew the basic mechanism more-or-less but there was I lot I didn't know - a good hour's research fixed me right up though. All people are smart and stupid in equal measure, it just depends on the area you engage them in ;)
Gold is used for specialty mirrors because it has slightly better reflectivity at infrared wavelengths than aluminum, and also because it doesn't tarnish at all at room temperature. It's not used so much for visible light mirrors because of the yellow color. If you have a layer of gold which is less than 1000 atoms thick, then you can see through it and it acts as a light filter allowing more blue and green light through than yellow (it is yellow colored on reflection and blue-green on transmission)
Typical government over spending, using gold for their mirrors when Goodwill's got perfectly good mirrors on sale for only $1.50 with half the frame still attached
Hey Cody, what do you think about trying to create some descent amounts of aerogel? seems like a fun experiment to try and i believe you have the tools for it?
I can't believe its been over a year since he posted this. Just a little over two weeks from the last day of 6th grade. Best year of my life. Especially the last 3 months.
Guys, I don't get it why you say this is clickbait. Clickbait means that you "Bait" a "Click" with a lie. You can see everything the title says and the thumbnail shows in the video!!
Alex R. He doesnt show the contents of the ball but seems supprised at whats actually inside. Yes its a clickbait but no one cares because we love cody
You fundamentally misunderstand clickbait, Adian steel. It would only be clickbait if Cody didn't show the contents of the ball IN THE VIDEO. Which he does. So no, it's not clickbait.
You all misunderstand "clickbait". The gratuitous facial expression leads you to believe that the video is more interesting than it actually is. It could also be misinterpreted as a horror type video. That face is actually kind of terrifying.
john papple Really? You know for certain how excited or interested I, and everyone else, was to see what the inside looked like? Mindreading FTW! Sure, the expression is exaggerated but there's nothing objectively clickbaity about it. You feel, subjectively, that his expression is OTT and/or terrifying, and the contents of the ball/video aren't *that* exciting. Others may well disagree. But as long as he's showing what he's saying he's showing, and the thumbnail doesn't blatantly lie about the video contents (which it doesn't) then it's really not clickbait.
So I just randomly watched the video where you made this ball, and I thought "man I wish I could cut it open and actually see the smaller ball". I guess I've being watching way too many videos, because that's exactly what you did. Why is this so satisfying?
when rolling it thinner could you weld the start to the end wrapping around the outside of the roller? That way you could keep rolling it thinner without stopping? not sure it would make it any easier but I would love to see it done.
Hey Cody you should totally shoot it out of your cannon against a variety of other « soft » metals like copper, lead or even silver. That’d be something !!
Keep it! I wouldn't destroy it, atleast half of it. I know $12,500 is a lot for something cool to just stare at, but you're in the big times now Cody! And it looked like a gold geode to me.

Maybe it’s inside a sock drawer inside a safety deposit box. You can’t be too careful.

Nah silly that's where the explosives are.
"Safety deposit box" is code for sock drawer...
That etching at the end is MASSIVELY satisfying. THANK YOU!
I know its kinda unfair to make another request of Cody after he delivered on something so stunning as this, but a high resolution (4k or above) image or even just a few seconds of video of that effect would be gorgeous

Yep ! Looks like a damask steel pattern, but made of gold .
yah, would love to see him do a PT/AU dama ring/jewelry...
Wow. I'm glad I stuck around for that acid etch at the end that looks cool
Once again, acid reveals the (hidden) reality.
what does it do?
daniel Cardwell it got dissolved the gold dust that got into it from the sawing.
When you hammer the foil together, you create areas of greater and lesser density/hardness, that dissolve at different rates. When you stop the reaction and wash it, you end up with a texture, where the softer areas dissolve more than the harder areas. Etching also emphasizes grain boundaries in the metal.

Barnacules Nerdgasm you can actually tighten pipe fittings or stainless steel fittings so hard and tight (thats what she said) that you weld the male to female threads together.
never touch stainless bolts with a rattle gun, the vibrations cause the same thing

I love Cody, been watch his channel for years now currently revisiting some of his old ones
I imagine Cody taking his official RUclips gold play button and taking the gold off of it to make his own pure gold one.
Michael Nilson yeah but mind you, this is the guy who is saving every bit of dust that some quantity of gold in it.
Theres no point its gold plated. Its a few atoms thick
THE MOTION ANSWER: The people commenting on how the oscillation might be like a modified Stirling engine are very close! The movement IS caused by a differential thermal expansion/contraction across the multiple inner spheres as well as adiabatic expansion in the gas content of the inner spaces, but the differential itself is not driven by gaseous motion or displacement, although it does play a minor role since the ball is in contact with the anvil which acts as a heat sink, but since it is a sphere the point of contact is tiny and thus so is the thermal transfer, relatively.
Instead, the motion of the balls is driven by a harmonic expansion/contraction in the surface area of the spheres, which itself is driven by the difference in the annealing rates of the outer and inner spheres as they first gain and then lose heat in sequence from the outside -> in. Using a point source of heating exacerbates this since there is also a major difference in heating/cooling rates from the point-contacts of the spheres upon each other which is dependent on the relative distance between the direction of heating and the direction of gravity, which is the resting-state point of contact for all of the inner spheres and thus the major point of heat transfer between them. Gold is not the only substance that shows this property as many metals with a high thermal conductivity and large crystal grain structures also show harmonic oscillation as grain boundaries are broken and re-formed.
Essentially when crystal grains in the material are broken under heating, they release mechanical strain as energy which causes a minute linear expansion/contraction in the material and on a (theoretically perfect) sphere this takes the form of a small force being imparted perpendicular to the surface. Thus, anything on the outside of the sphere is pushed outward and anything resting on an inside surface is pushed toward the center. This force is incredibly small but is magnified during high rates of crystal breakage/forming. Vibrations within the surface area of a circle/sphere are by definition harmonic in nature, i.e. why a wine glass "sings" and so given enough time and a reasonably consistent ratio of crystal formation/breakage, the motion of the inner spheres will settle into the lowest energy harmonic state.
You could easily test this by heating the gold sphere with a symmetrical heating element (non-point source) until you reach the point of full general annealing where mechanical stress is at minimum, which for 990 gold is something like 1400-1500 F. Then you SHOULD see the oscillation slowly become smaller as the internal spheres also reach mechanical minimum in turn from the outside -> in.
However, if you tried this and saw something different like the oscillation continuing or even increasing... well then that would be very, very interesting indeed!
Thanks!
Next time I feel like the smartest person in the room, I'll remember this comment and go find smarter people (like you) to hang out with!
W. Bush Yup. It's fun being the smartest person in the room occasionally, but life is more interesting when you aren't. (Though, even when you are the smartest person around, there are still things you can learn.)
Thank you Mr. President! But I can't take credit for it... I knew the basic mechanism more-or-less but there was I lot I didn't know - a good hour's research fixed me right up though. All people are smart and stupid in equal measure, it just depends on the area you engage them in ;)
Connor Williams:
Props for your personal modesty and dedication to research. I hope those qualities serve you well!
5:13 I figured you being Cody’s lab having made all the things you have, you would make this metal flattener motorized instead of that tiring crank 🙏🙏
I don’t think you understand how much I enjoyed watching you make a thumbnail
damn!!! shiny golden cantaloupe is pretty
If I spend $25,000 and a full day making a 1 pound golf ball it damn well better be pretty.
The description...
"I make my ball bigger and then cut it open."
Cody, never, Ever, EVER, put those words together in that sequence again.
LexMc0606 that sounds like something some weird German porno
@@FloridaLivin1
Why German?
@@FloridaLivin1 yeah why german
Codys lab is always awesome!
Very interesting. I especially liked seeing the pattern after you etched it
Description sounds painful
That was a good joke.
Bob Bobby thanks man
No problem.
A mirror is basically just pure metal behind glass right? You should make a gold mirror
Gold is used for specialty mirrors because it has slightly better reflectivity at infrared wavelengths than aluminum, and also because it doesn't tarnish at all at room temperature. It's not used so much for visible light mirrors because of the yellow color. If you have a layer of gold which is less than 1000 atoms thick, then you can see through it and it acts as a light filter allowing more blue and green light through than yellow (it is yellow colored on reflection and blue-green on transmission)
That's what NASA id doing with James Webb!
Typical government over spending, using gold for their mirrors when Goodwill's got perfectly good mirrors on sale for only $1.50 with half the frame still attached
they usually use VERY polished silver, but that could work, too, it would just make it look like the world got yellow jaundice.
Its actual a painted piece of glass
Hey Cody,
what do you think about trying to create some descent amounts of aerogel? seems like a fun experiment to try and i believe you have the tools for it?
We need more Codys and Kanyons in this world. We really do.
Why do so many people comment before watching the videos? Sick of reading stupid questions that are clearly answered if you watch the video first!
Wow cody I was doubting it at first, but it seem like it might has just been crazy enough to work +200k views in 10 hours... *not bad*
I love how the ball sounds like a marble when it rattles.
I can't believe its been over a year since he posted this. Just a little over two weeks from the last day of 6th grade. Best year of my life. Especially the last 3 months.
Guys, I don't get it why you say this is clickbait. Clickbait means that you "Bait" a "Click" with a lie. You can see everything the title says and the thumbnail shows in the video!!
Alex R. He doesnt show the contents of the ball but seems supprised at whats actually inside. Yes its a clickbait but no one cares because we love cody
You fundamentally misunderstand clickbait, Adian steel. It would only be clickbait if Cody didn't show the contents of the ball IN THE VIDEO. Which he does. So no, it's not clickbait.
You all misunderstand "clickbait". The gratuitous facial expression leads you to believe that the video is more interesting than it actually is. It could also be misinterpreted as a horror type video. That face is actually kind of terrifying.
john papple Really? You know for certain how excited or interested I, and everyone else, was to see what the inside looked like? Mindreading FTW! Sure, the expression is exaggerated but there's nothing objectively clickbaity about it. You feel, subjectively, that his expression is OTT and/or terrifying, and the contents of the ball/video aren't *that* exciting. Others may well disagree. But as long as he's showing what he's saying he's showing, and the thumbnail doesn't blatantly lie about the video contents (which it doesn't) then it's really not clickbait.
Just Another Bucky Lover bruh don't get me wrong I love Cody but this is clear clickbait.
Was that aqua regia that the gold was submerged in at the end?
The ball meme is over now is the knife meme, sharpest gold knife incoming!!
S3V3N13TT3R5 none of it was a meme
So I just randomly watched the video where you made this ball, and I thought "man I wish I could cut it open and actually see the smaller ball". I guess I've being watching way too many videos, because that's exactly what you did. Why is this so satisfying?
when rolling it thinner could you weld the start to the end wrapping around the outside of the roller? That way you could keep rolling it thinner without stopping? not sure it would make it any easier but I would love to see it done.
Luke Ballantyne works with pasta machines.
I would love to see Cody do something like this just for giggles.
You should attach a strong electromotor (plus probably a 10:1 transmission) to that crank
good way to loose my fingers
Cody'sLab maybe a safety pedal that has to be pressed for the motor to start?
A guard with a slit in it would be easy to make.
Did you get that thing sorted out with the city wanting you to mow your sugar beets?
lol it has been a while, I almost had forgotten how much fun is watching your videos. You're so unpretentious person 👍
15:21 from some viking or heavy metal band member to 15:23 a nerd in 1 second.
Or he could be both ahem.. amon amarth
Hey Cody you should totally shoot it out of your cannon against a variety of other « soft » metals like copper, lead or even silver. That’d be something !!
15:26 aka "Don't come and try to steal it from me."
That is wayyy more solid than i expected man. Nice work.
Keep it! I wouldn't destroy it, atleast half of it. I know $12,500 is a lot for something cool to just stare at, but you're in the big times now Cody!
And it looked like a gold geode to me.
10:10 "let's focus on the ball" *focuses on the table*
Turn on sub-titles and go to 7:55
[Applause]
And then Eric is scaping from it lol. Must confuse the hell out of deaf people.
That little gold ball is really cool. It's shiny, and rattle-y, and I like it.
