I remember we had a teacher that encouraged us to glue elements into a book and write up stuff next to the sample. I glued iodine in my book and it leached it's way through the whole book! Purple orangey brown stain all the way to the back cover. It was a new book. Edit...actually now that i think about it...it might have been permanganate.
Sounds like iodine, it stains paper very well and it likes to evaporate
Glad you brought up the show Chernobyl. Incredible show that doesn't focus entirely on the disaster but the people and the lives forever changed by it, and especially those that prevented further disaster.
A lot of it was made extra dramatic compared to real life just for the show factor
The writer of that series had to make another video to explain why he lied so much because he got so much flak from scientists about him spreading misinformation
Next video, ElementalMaker Live Stream from Pripyat!
That would be AWESOME! Maybe some day
We used to use Iodine foot baths at the hog farm. We had to step our rubber boots into the bath container before entering every barn.
Producing this from natural ingredients would be an interesting challenge. Bottled chemistry still leaves missing pieces to the puzzle. Starting from scratch is more exciting in my opinion.
AWESOME.
One of my favourite channels.
The attitude is number one and the science is a close second.
I enjoy this series, would like to see more elements added to the wall in the near future. Keep up the good work
Always real cool to see one of my most favorit RUclipsrs making a video about a great show! Cheers mate!
You reminded me of doing this in school! Completely forgot! Great vid as always! Keep up the good work! Many thanks from England
Nice, Love love love your periodic table of elements, great chemistry lesson in replenishment of the table. Good job well done again
Much appreciated Richard 👍 have a great weekend
Educational and not boring, well done.
hey love your videos. keep on doin what you do !
you should make some nitrogen triiodide with it. Its the same procedure except before filtering it out you add ammonia to the water which will react with the elemental iodine and make a touch sensitive explosive powder that explodes with a purple plume.
Absolutely beautiful element
ElementalMaker, you should seal the sample tube with wax or hot glue. Even if it tried to sublime, it would be contained.
Dang that stuff sublimates fast.
I remember making Iodine trinitrate in HS Chem I class, purple stains on everything.
Very cool video!
Cool to see iodine melting. Good show.
Great video You keep having this bad habit of remembering me what I missed in high school chem class.....lol Now we have you keep up the good fight....
You can buy "tincture of iodine" in US drugstores over the counter (iodine dissolved in alcohol).
Yay, this is the type of video of yours I like! The rocketry stuff is cool. But this is more my speed.
I did this with my chem students several years ago. Later took the iodine and showed them how tremendously reactive it was in its free form. Used a hood. Stain = reaction. Really like your wooden periodic table.
Love this
You are correct regarding I. It's watched heavily, along with NH3 due to meth production.
Didn't realize NH3 was watched at all, you can buy pure 10% NH3 solution at the hardware store near me.
Great vid
Just for an FYI, and my own curiosity I saw that your geiger counter was reading out a level of micro sieverts. Most industrial scales for radiation read out in milli so your uranium sample is reading 63micro sieverts per hour. That is .0063 milli sieverts per hour, about the same level as the typical house hold radeon levels. At those levels the lead case might be more harmful to you then the uranium. (7 years nuclear power industrial experience)
Chernobyl, fuck yeah. I'm totally with you on that one.
That was cool never been into this but I’m now!!!
Nice pellet! However, this will still slowly sublime. Better to seal it in an ampoule I'd suggest.
Keep up the good & interesting procedures!
Sweet!
thumbs up for the explanation !
im not a medic but a nutrician, and the iodine facts are correct :)
NICE!
I think i am gonna start loving chemistry.
More elements please! XD
Nice! I wonder, maybe keeping it immersed in some kind of mineral oil, or making an ampule to keep it from sublimating again?
Nice iodine pellet!
I have to make that shelf
Not seen you for a while brother I hope you haven’t had your own version of Chernobyl at home!
i have heard of people who are big into health use iodine a lot. i have also heard of producing iodine from seaweed.
Chemistry channels are something youtube started to punish about 2 years ago. I'm not sure if it's because of advertisers, or liability concerns, but man did they hit Nurdrage hard. That being said I found your channel through recommended videos after watching one of his.
Yeah sadly it's quite tough to do any kind of educational videos on RUclips, let alone chemistry. Really quite a shame
you should build yourself a cloud chamber to visually see radiation from your samples, im currently building one base on thought emporiums recent video, using peltier plates.
Waiting for the Thorium extraction from TIG rods. David Hahn style.
LOL that maniac had one hell of a story!
@@ElementalMaker LOL, make a pure thorium pellet and a domed cloud chamber for one of the coolest little shelf displays ever, watching the little alpha bullets is soooo relaxing!
So when are you going to build an Eludium-Pu38 Explosive Space Modulator
Funny enough a month before Fukushima I bought some KI, to use for disinfecting water in a cooling loop. Month later you could not buy it for anything other than an insane price.
y'all ever seen those Chernobyl catfish?
Balls or steel, holding sulfuric acid over a flame, close to the hands.
Have you considered coating the pearl in epoxy resin to prevent sublimation?
Van you get the potassium out of that tablets even easy? Or can you get it out anyway??(it must be possible, isnt it?)
I'm guessing I can't get you to show how to make NH4I3.....hehe
Maybe melt some wax around the lip of the cap to better keep the new sample from escaping.
@ 10:10 "focus you fack!!"
If the feds ever pull a codys lab on you make sure you don't try to hide that piece of ore in your prison wallet. (Yes I like finding any reason I can to use the term prison wallet) Keep up the good work. 😁
Watching the Chernobyl TV series brought me here!
Is there a way to prevent the iodine from sublimating?
Were do you get you display vials
Did you seal the phial it is in? Isnt it just gonna sublimate again?
lanthanides series?
I've got a couple of grams of iodine shot I would contribute to your collection.
where do you buy your labware like the vacuum filtration set and the stainless steel scoop?
Amazon, or eBay
hey can you make chemistry courses?
You didn't show it but that big flask you added sodium thiosulfate to at the very end of the video. Wen't back to being iodine color in 5-10 seconds after being clear didn't it.
Nope I added quite an excess of sodium thiosulfate, so it completely neutralized the iodine.
Ammonium tri-iodide check it out
I see you have a sample of iodine's badass fellow halogen fluorine. I'm guessing your fluorine sample is either fluorite (calcium fluoride) or Teflon, right?
Yessir it is a large cylinder of Teflon. Maybe some day I can get one of those very specially prepared quartz vials of actual fluorine gas. Theodore Gray has a great page about it.
@@ElementalMaker I would love one of those elemental samples of fluorine (in acrylic) myself but they're incredibly expensive and fluorine is know to attack pretty much anything including silicon dioxide i.e. glass making it extremely difficult to store!
doesn't KI + H2O2 make elephant toothpaste?
Sure does! Just add a couple drops of soap and your in business.
Who doesn't need a bigger hose??? Lol
It looks like grape soda in solution lol
NO NUKES !!!! EVER
Yes Chernobyl watch watch NOW
in the words of AvE: "Focus you Fak"
Jesus man. Do more rocket motors!
Coming soon 👍
Well worth my Patreon dollar(s)
😀😃😃😁😆
Are you using demi water?
What the heck is demi water?
@@ElementalMaker demineralised water. Sorry we call it demi water in the Netherlands. Maybe it's called different where you're at.
@@sanderinNZ78 ahh yes I have a Reverse osmosis system and deionization cartridge to get ultra pure water for my lab. I've never heard it called demi water, but definitely makes sense. That's my something new to learn today! Nurdrage actually just made a video today on the same setup I use. I did a video on my system about a year ago
Skipped through the video cause I'm low on time but it seemed really complicated to get some iodine. I have maybe 2 or 3 tablespoons of the stuff in the freezer. I made it with some potassium iodide. You can also buy it in it's elemental form for really cheap. Why go through all this.
For science of course
I HATE leaf blowers!
How can someone like me get a 3D table of elements going without getting a big red flag at the FBI office?
Just build yourself a nice display like I did here, and slowly collect the elements like I have here. I don't think you'll find yourself on any lists unless you start looking for the regulated ones hard.
@@ElementalMaker I do like the idea if having a real table of elements. Just looks cool and my daughter will be able to learn hands on.
@@ElementalMaker recommend a rock type that can take being fired by a flame that will produce a a lot of light.
Is that a soviet pancake α β γ geiger-Müller tube?
Or just an American one?
What about that giant elephant foot in Chernobyl?
If they had used water as their neutron moderator instead of graphite, that disaster wouldn't have happened.
It's a soviet SBM-20 Geiger Muller tube based detector I built. That elephants foot is quite a scary object. Would love to send a robot in to get a modern picture of it.
my friend has your videos (and others) backed up in a nuclear vault for preservation of information of humanity, please try to ensure your information is accurate, not for my sake, but for humanities.
LOL those Russians.
The problem is the accuracy of the show was abissmal
How do you figure? I thought the accuracy was pretty spot on from an engineering perspective
It wasn't a nuclear bomb, a weapon. What happened was a melt down. They stated in the show 3-5 megatons? That's more than the Hiroshima bomb. There was fallout, yes and it melted down. Was it like a Thermonuclear bomb? No fucking way.
@@methanial73 yeah I did catch that in the trial episode and dont think that is correct, although some scientists do think the second blast, moments after the steam explosion, could have been a runaway critically explosion. The 3-5 Mton referred to the possibility of a later explosion days after the initial event, if the liquid corium reached the bubbler pools beneath the reactor building, which contained something around 5 million gallons of water. All that water converting to steam rapidly is the large explosion referenced. Luckily the corium never melted down that far.
Is this that guy that makes up words and tries to talk cool ? So annoying
Is this the guy that makes shitty comments?
ElementalMaker how’d you get annoyed when someone makes up words and tries to talk cool. Uhm I’m thinking which group you’ll be in the periodic table? Well I think the table is still missing an element after boron... yep you’re so smart you guess it right😉. so E.M. the fresh maker will have to make a slot for you. . next to Boron. this comment is meant to STD test the testing so catch a clap twice. true story on the catch the clap twice though
TF probably works for Millfuckie, Default or the like!
