Here before the nuclear safety guy does a reaction to the vid
He don't claim to know everything that is nuclear but he can certainly share some knowledge
and yet he still wont check out kreosan, i've asked like 30 times!
same here
what's hid channel @?
Same
The uranium play button will be such a cool project
Maybe an enriched one that goes supercritical when you smash it
Then place it in a slow neutron beam and convert into fissible fuel?
@@noimnotarobotcanubeleiveit7024 yes
Not necessarily uranium,
Just make fluorescent glow in the dark
@somerandomuser5155 no it doesn't have to glow uranium doesn't glow on its own. And the flex of having a URANIUM play button is pretty cool because most people think that uranium is the most radioactive thing even tho it isnt
honestly the scariest part about this was that you used HF ☠
True. HF is some nasty stuff
"I add a random excess of 48% HF"
"a random excess of HF"
uhhh
@@aaronclair4489 what ever. He did not die
In a glass container no less
You kidding? Do you know how toxic water soluable uranium is?
reminder that uranium-238, the most common form of uranium by far, has an extremely low passive radiation level. if you ingest it, you'll be at least a factor of ten more likely to die of heavy metal poisoning than of radiation poisoning. (lead isn't the only poisonous heavy metal, it's just the most common to be exposed to. uranium has similar effects.)
addendum: arsenic, mercury, and the cadmium from cigarette smoke are all also poisons for the same reason as lead and uranium are!
@@somethingforsenroall elements except the lightest in each group are generally toxic to life because they have similar chemistries, but not exactly the same. U238 is about 96-97%, U235 is about 3-4%. Nobody has ever demonstrated any useful amount of nuclear energy, excepting tiny amounts of current in a wire. Heavy elements have complex chemistry because of all the electrons and forms of bonds.
Ah yes, the good old Cody's lab method. I still remember that legendary video.
Refining uranium ore into uranium metal? Yeah, you can still watch a reuploaded version.
Any chemistry video that brings the literal FBI to your house is going to be a banger
Nuclear chem is the whole reason Im back at Uni at 45. Great Video DO MORE!!
Unfortunately not too much stuff I can do, but there are still some fun uranium things to try.
@@Chemiolis make a bomb
Lol, you will come out from uni with purple hair, pierced all over and gender fluid with the pronounce zer / ze.
Plus vote Biden.
@@Chemiolis can u make a mini nuclear 💣
@@Chemioliswhere did you buy this?
The Tetrafluoride is such a beautiful color. My sample of it looks so good sitting next to all the rest of the compounds in my collection. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
does it discolor at all due to daughter nuclei forming or no
@@captainchicky3744 Over a _very_ long timeframe, sure. I can't imagine you'd be able to notice any change over a single lifetime.
I can finally add another video to my ''Blacklisted due to youtube' class action lawsuit
Justice for Cody!
Huh, there is/was a class action lawsuit around uranium videos?
@@Kenionatusit’s a joke brother
Hmm Uranium playbutton? Do ittt
Don’t give him any ideas he still might want to have children someday 😂
I’ll eat it.
*We are all on a watchlist now.*
I wish I could do this! But I don't think Australia would like that very much lol
You made a nuke in your older video and austraila didn’t do anything, depleted uranium metal shouldn’t be a problem
@@monika7063that was not him. That was mark rober and kidnapped nirered. He was only trying to follow a tutorial
@@tomaszkarwik6357 I refuse to believe that mr. green and nilered are two different people.
@@monika7063 / unjoke, watch the video again. I was summarising it
Dude, I can not emphasize how frustrated I am about this. I wanted to publish a video like this, but I had to stop it. Because they can fuck you over so fast here in Germany 😤 I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT!!!
Uranium chemistry is so fancy! Great video bro
Are you going to bake some thorium cakes with your cat ears for us?
@@swampmonkey420 maybe UWU
I just wish I could do a video about without the German government fucking me over :/
Plutonium is better. More oxidation states
@@thesciencefurry I dont think that German government is interested by an amateur chemist isolating .20 grams of uranium metal just for the skill.
For the moment I thought you are colliding two neutron stars or at least supernovae. But it makes more sens you just reducing a metal salt to metal. This is also interesting though. :D
Next video I will be using a nearby neutron star for my synthesis
We need more inorganic chemistry videos 👏
Specifically of uranium ;)
I am not sure if I should watch the video or start downloading it immediately
Why not both?
Hello FBi. Yes, this guy. Take this guy!
Wow, nice result! I didn’t expect a very metallic looking product after you described your “heat it in the ampoule” method, but not bad
You make this nuclear chemist proud, love to see the uranium dissolve in organic solvents. solvent extraction is amazing.
Nuclear chemist? Make vids!
Love seeing this, I work with depleted uranium every day in my lab researching future nuclear fuels, so it’s super cool seeing the process to make the depleted uranium.
Fertile uranium is a wonderful nuclear fuel in a fast reactor. I suspect you can make fuel with it in a CANDU or similar PHWR, but I'm guessing the codes to figure out where to place it and for how long might be a bit complicated.
Uranium play button would be awesome
Also thunderf00t was on the path to make a uranium ring but abandoned that project and i think it would be really interesting to see uranium being casted in a ring shape then machined to clean it up
I'm going to download this video I remember what happened to Cody!
Just what I needed thank you!
You’re reaaaaaal close to 100k my man
fascinating material, nice work!
What a fascinating video!
I love all of the colors involved in the process. I wonder how each step fluoresces...
Thank you, very useful video.
Congrats you’re all on a list now
An enriching experience.
great video man
Great, we need more. Do thorium next.
yummy, thanks for the food recipe
great video
Nice priject. What would happen if you electrolyze a uranium or thorium salt solution?
I love uranium chemistry so much.
Good job！amazing！
I like the title, very nice.
I see you did the last part cody's lab style! very nice prep man, you should try doing the whole process of extracting uranium from ore, you could even get some radium as well :p
I actually wanted to make a video about that( or maybe I did and took it down, who knows👀) but the government here in germany would probably freak out and ruin me :/
@@thesciencefurry Yeah, Germany is generally radiophobic. Too bad, too, because they dismantled their nuclear plants and switched to coal and Russian gas. Idiots.
You sound Dutch. Loving the content!
That Is really nice.
I’m hopefully gonna land a job doing radiochemistry. Sounds like a lot of fun
I would love to see a video where you are making enriched uranium
such a pretty blue
when you don't upload a video for a long time, you understand how something will come
more like this pleasee😢
So did heating the UF4 make a difference between unheated?
This is a fed channel, isn't it?
thanks
Well done and congratulations on graduating to real (inorganic) chemistry!
So what difference (if any) did the pre-drying step make, and could you measure the shiny piece's density for a crude indication of purity?
TL;DR
Metallic U really does react incredibly quickly with H2O and O2 *AND* N2 gases, such that attempting to cast or re-melt it without a continuous flow of Argon cover gas (or, at a minimum, vaccuum sealing with a very large excess of Li metal and covering the reaction mass in 2-3cm of liquid Li-Na-K-Cs with a suitable flux mixture on top), usually results in a fairly poor yield of multiple small corroded pieces of metal; though even in the best case, where a single metallic mass is obtained, it will be riddled with numerous defects, slag inclusions and poor porosity.
Getting to a solid block of metal that at all resembles the common metallic element samples, is most easily done by cleaning, washing and drying the obtained U granules/shot under an inert atmosphere or under vacuum and then re-melting everything into one solid piece (only using inert and oxide free materials in contact with the U, such as Oxygen Free Copper or Tungsten).
Definitely make a play button 😂❤
Pls do a cleanup second channel type video. Feels relevant for that one
Noice
More uranium chemistry! We want more! More! More!
That's exactly what I wanted to make a video about aswell. But I don't because the police would probably come by and take all my equipment and chemicals :/ Idk how it is in the netherland or with your qualifications.
Sugestion can you synthesize a schiff base (primary amine with a ketone or aldehyde) some of them smell really nice
A fuel cell play button or if we're really trying to get a friendly knock from your friendly fbi agent make a nuclear reactor play button.
I think we can safely say that Chemiolis is the Nuclear Chemical RUclipsr
Please make a video about How to make Pure Radium, Even though It isn't cost effective! I'm so exited about it! please ! Please! Please!
Awesome!!
more uranium please
I did not expect the ANVS would allow us dutch's to handle this, would it be possible to legally make a sub-critical reactor?
I'm not sure if I'm correct but if you bombard the U-238 with neutrons from a neutron source (or even cooler a small fusion reactor) it becomes unstable U-239 & neptunium-239 that decay's with allot of beta decay giving you more heat than power put into it.
Also there would be some plutonium-238 created further helping the reaction but it cannot runaway since it has a sub-critical mass.
I wonder if this is legally and psychically possible on a small lab scale.
Where have you bought the Uranylnitrat?
would displace the chlorine work instead of converting UCl4 to UF4 ?
for example, would UCl4 + 4 Na ---> U + 4 NaCl work or not ?
Its interestyng this video
More Uranium pls
Delicious,there’s nothing like home made
Is there a way of isolating the metal that doesn't use bone-hurting juice? (And if you *are* using HF, shouldn't you be doing the reaction in a plastic or passivated-metal container, rather than glassware?)
I researched it a bit and I think the fluoride way is the easiest (unfortunately), Going with UCL4 works too but you need to do the reaction with hexachlopropene which is a bit more complicated. Wikipedia says you can also react calcium and UO3 but I don't think that happens at any reasonable temperature and speed.
I have a significant amount of thorium ore i collected from a local closed thorium prospect. Would you be interested in it at all?
I’m learning
It's videos like this that make me question why I didn't get into nuclear or chemical engineering.
Careful.
"I'm Tyler folse, im a nuclear engineer with a little over 10 years of experience in the commercial nuclear power industry from engineering operations to emergency response, I don't claim to know everything there is nuclear, but I can certainly share some knowledge"
Question here: he clearly has all the compounds and precursors for several drugs, for example Methamphetamine, @chemiolis are you sometimes tempted to try and make these compounds?
Why are the screenshots of this video so fuzzy?
What happens if you try to reduce UCl4 with lithium directly rather than using HF to convert it to the fluoride first?
dammit i was trying to do this. Though instead of UF4 I wanted to explore methods using UCL4 instead of UF4 due to its rarity at amateur scales (excluding you ofc haha). Im surprised to find that the nranyl nitrate can be directly used to produce UCL4 , rather than the typical, baking in an oven to make UO3
Yo we getting out of the reactor with this 🗣🗣🗣
Excellent video.... how about reaching critical mass ???
:D
How did you end up buying from a Bulgarian pottery store ?
Idea for next videos: sunthesys of repelents like DETA, and others
Do Methaqualone!
Depleted uranium is pretty much 238U, which has a longer half-life than the other isotopes! Better for a collection! (Though for most isotopes there’s little practical difference.)
Next video Uranium enrichment, pls
Doesn't HF degrade your glassware??
Cody's lab made it from ore before but the video was taken down
its strangely terrifying to me how much of the process really is straight up homestuck green
Photolytic chlorination of chloroform to carbon tetrachloride next please
Actually they do use Tungsten for armour piercing ammunition.
Tungsten and depleted uranium are both used. Uranium tends to be used for larger munitions but the RUclipsr “Oxide” did testing of uranium rifle bullets.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252
Mostly, although both Germany and the UK use tungsten in their 120mm APFSDS anti-tank munitions.
It's a few percentage points less effective than DU APFSDS rounds but doesn't come with the same political "baggage" as DU weapons.
@@chemistryofquestionablequa6252
So my comment _should_ say _some_ nations use Tungsten penetrators instead of DU.
A bit better way of doing this is to seal it in a stainless steel pipe that is lined with pressed magnesium oxide then fill the center with a mix of UF4 and magnesium. Backfill with argon and seal. Next heat the pipe in an oven till bright yelliw white hot and allow to cool on its own accord. When you open it you will have crumbly MgO, a slag of MgF2 with some uranium in it, and a glob of uranium metal.
Why don't you simply use borax with na2co3 as reductive agent directly on UF4?
Depleted uranium, health issues and after-war diseases in the countries it has been used as armor-piercing mass projectiles in the documentary "Deadly Dust" (2007) from the German director and filmmaker Frieder Wagner.
Yes Uranium is a heavy metal, where the health issues come from not the radiation.
They say you shouldnt eat of a uranium glazed plate, that is also not because of radiation but due to uranium being a heavy metal and has a rather high toxicity.
The thing is, the only meaningful alternative is a tungsten alloy, which also carries negative health effects.
@@daniellassander The problem is not from eating eat, but from breathing it in. Thatfore deadly dust. Most of the anti-tank missiles produce a hot liquid metal jet, which oxidizes in the air , that is then spread via fine dust particles. All uranium isotopes are radioactive. If you breath it in , than multiple lung and blood injuries may occur. And the dust doesn´t vanish immediately after deployment.
@@ZoonCrypticon Uranium is very weakly radioactive, it's its toxicity that is the danger

Are thermal neutrons in this sample's future? 😅
wait oml fluorine chemistry too wow
A video on what you did with all the waste from this would be awesome. Of particular interest would be what you did with what was left over from that "random excess of 48% HF." I have guesses at these things, but those are just guesses.
Just pour it down the toilet. 👌
@@Mobin92Not my problem
He neutralised it with potassium carbonate. End product will be potassium fluoride (KF) which is far less hazardous than HF. Small quantities could probably be disposed to sewer, so long as you can be sure there's no uranium still in there.
To make uranium I think you need a supernova.
That actually seems like a fair amount of gamma for what is a primarily alpha and beta source
I got to see this before the government makes him take it down!!
Well you are the brave man 😂😂
next video ideea
how to make enriched uranium :3
Where did you even get the Uranyl Nitrate from?
A Bulgarian pottery store. As shown on screen (granted, in very short blips).
@@andersjjensenBulgaria dgaf lol.
@@canadiangemstones7636 People think depleted uranium is somehow "super dangerous and controlled" because it has uranium in the name. But it's no more controlled or dangerous than lead and mercury.
Cool video. Sadly Cody's original video got him a visit from the feds.
Can such ink be made that is visible only on special goggles?
