Turning a penny into a light bulb
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2022
- For this one, I'm going to be turning a copper penny, into a light bulb. The magic happens when a red hot penny, is lowered into a beaker, over some acetone.
NOTE: It's important that the penny is pure copper. If it's made with zinc, it'll melt.

Ah, I see this lightbulb was worth every penny.
Minus a hole-ful
Lol
Bah dum ching
Yes
Lol🤣
Imagine surviving for almost 50 years just to get turned into the worst lightbulb ever by a scientist who throws around every experiment he creates
That would be awesome
Its actually 46 years, pardon my pedantry.
@@hopeforescape884 thanks for the fact
@@hopeforescape884 Thank you! You are good maths! We need more people like that!

Penny: "Yeah, I'm getting the chance to fulfill my dream of being a lightbulb instead of just $0.01!"
NileRed: "It was definitely one of the worst lightbulbs I've ever seen."
Penny: ":("
Penny is still happy because even if penny is a bad lightbulb it's still a lightbulb that doesn't require electricity and runs on a chemical reaction.
my entire life story
you can also say 1¢
:'(
Don't cry, little penny, he's just kidding you
Why did I think he was going to go through a series of horrible chemical experments to convert the penny into a real lightbulb
I think he’s a wizard, but using science words to justify his magic
I think so too
Magic is just science we don't understand yet

The heck are you talking about?! That looks fantastic!

Acetone would be a better replacement for bromine.

@@_shadow_1 no he would just throw the beaker instead
It’s important to note the year of the penny. It has to be an older penny as they are pure copper. Post 1982 Pennies were zinc coins plated in copper. Zinc melts at relatively low temperatures… red hot does exist with Zinc. It will liquify and drip out of any deep scratches.
95%.
@@HunterShows you know it's a chemistry page when threads like this start.
My doctor gave me a zinc based cream for my foot, does it mean I can use pennies instead?
@@Reth_Hard yes, just make sure to melt the coins and apply in liquid form... otherwise it will be too hard to smear over your feet
@@mudauvhadau170
Ok I'll try it. Do you think it's going to do a better job for removing the fungus on my foot? The cream doesn't seems to be be very effective...
Nile is actually the first person to use a penny in 5 years. Congratulations!
Nitro engines in RC cars and airplanes use the same principle. The alcohol vapor and fresh air in the intake charge catalyze against the hot platinum glowplug coil to keep it hot enough during the intake/compression phases to be able to cause combustion when the intake charge is fully compressed.
He even made an accurate Lincoln with the drill!
ohno
Bruhhhh lol
Woke up and chose violence huh
I see we got some dark humour here. lol.
💀
it'd be cool to see if it works with something a little bit bigger like a copper sheet and see how the acetone fumes move through de air

i was shocked when he didn’t throw anything, or break anything. quite unusual
This reaction blew my mind when I heard of it the first time. I tried it with coiled up copper wire. This increased the active surface area and decreased the thermal mass at the same time. It produced a decent amount of light but tended to catch on fire.
Catching on fire sounds like a very NileRed thing to happen.
@@DavidCowie2022 Honestly I expected it to catch on fire in his experiment as well. This would have increased the light output significantly.

Wow, i finally found "Portal" fan!
0:20 Not the first time Lincoln had a hole in his head.
Its remind me an object called "chaufferette" here in France.
It work with a little platinium mesh on the top of a coton filled metal container impregnated with lighter fluid (like a Zippo, but larger).
When you heat the platinium, it start to catalyse it and produce its own heat for several hours.
Very usefull in cold winter evening, for keeping your hands warm in your pockets ^^
Please let me know how you call this object in English, i'm curious to hear it :)
We have similar in America. Like a large whisky flask. Place in the coat or back pocket for hunters or hikers in cold weather.

How to make a penny more historically accurate
And literally no one is talking about that
John Wilkes Booth flashbacks intensify
Probably worth noting that for US pennies, you need to use a pre-1982 penny for this. Pennies from 1982 onward are copper plated zinc, and trying to heat them that hot may cause the zinc to melt.
I think that you can use any Canadian penny
You really did drill a hole through Lincoln’s head. Funny easter egg.
Its like someone moving around blocking a full red moon from your view that looks like a shadow
I love the smell of acetone (and an overheated penny) in the morning 🤓

Hey Nile. Your experiments are very educational. I like them very much. Honestly I learn more from them than any of my school books. I am very interested in chemistry myself as well. Thank you Keep up the good work. Love from India
Nile needs to see this
U learn more from this than your school books? U must not have read them...
@@ksinitial Aiken is right I got 70% in Chem exam but I still learn from Nile
@@ksinitial Some people process information better through hands-on instruction. Learning to turn a penny into a lightbulb is a lot more engaging at first glance than a textbook.
@@SuzdalPanic yea and what did you actually learn lol. It's a nice showcase demo that's useless in practice. And you have 0 clue why it works or how to use knowledge from this in similar experiments (at least with the information from this video). And most of his videos are like that, specially shorts. You could make an argument for some long videos *maybe*
Truly, if you learn more from this than textbooks then the textbook authors are incompetent, as they're competing with virtually 0 knowledge gained...
I just did this reaction with some copper wire. Another channel showed how acetone vapours can be used in combination with an HHO torch to braze copper very easily.
He drilled exactly where Abraham Lincoln was shot...
Cerium, iron, manganese, nickel, platinum, rhodium, palladium, as well as copper can all catalyse the reaction between hydrocarbons and oxygen. But nickel can produce nickel tetracarbonyl, which is poisonous.
If you have any of these metals lying around, it would be interesting to see if there are any differences when they react. Does the "light bulb" get brighter? Is it a different colour? Do they get hotter?
any silvery coins like, say... *nickels* should be made of mostly nickel.

This video is terrible. You can also set a wooden log on fire to illuminate the room. I guess this qualifies as turning a log into a lightbulb too, but also known as a fireplace lol

This looks so cool! I know you shouldn't try this at home, but I wish I could!!
We have got to update the building codes. New homes should have fume hoods built in.
I mean... you can, nobody is going to stop you
Money can’t be destroyed but it can be shredded
I feel like making a penny a bit hot does not qualify it as a light bulb.
How long does the reaction last, and can it be scaled up to any practical purpose?
It lasts as long as there is enough Acetone evaporating beneath it. Acetone evaporates relatively quickly, but if you keep enough of it below the penny, you could keep it going for a while.
Report the bot above me:)
It can last until it runs out of fuel. Plenty of small gas heaters and gas soldering irons use it.
This reaction was once used to make formaldehyde from methanol, you can also use acetone to make ketene (literally what he's doing, why didn't he mention any safety precautions?) a gas more toxic than cyanide but can be used to turn water into acetic acid and acetic acid into acetic anhydride
@@EdwardTriesToScience at these temperatures, won't it all just burn?

Edit: The reaction he was talking about is the oxidation of acetone to acetaldehyde, which is a highly exothermic reaction and red hot copper acts as a catalyst in the process
