For anyone wondering he gets iron by reacting iron oxide (the red stuff, rust essentially) with carbon (from the charcoal). The reaction reduces the iron oxide to iron metal and oxidizes the carbon to carbon dioxide. That stuff can just leave the reaction mixture as a gas, leaving (theoretically) pure metal behind. A lot of the time some of the pure carbon will be left in the metal, creating more brittle cast iron. A more vigorous version of this reaction is called thermite, which is the reaction of iron oxide and aluminum. The reaction scheme is a similar redox reaction to the one seen with FeO and C but it is much more exothermic, to the point where it can melt through solid metal.
Was he hardening the iron to steel at the end? Can't he do that by placing the iron into a carbon pit and heating it up, leaving a thin layer of steel?
@@notaprogrammer7970 I think you understood something wrong in the process of hardening (or I your question, sry for the bad english), steel is the alloy drom iron and carbon, his knife propably contains a lot of carbon because of the process he got the steel out of the stones (as said in original comment). In the process of hardening, there are diversifications in the microstrukture of the steel (there is an other microstucture in warm than in cold steel) caused by the fast cooling in water/ oil/ cold air what makes the cold steel having ms of warm steel PS: whats up with my name now ? ;)

Then after this, he went to the beach and got silica sand. Then he melted the silicon. Then he diluted it and let it crystalize into silicon crystals. Then he used his blast furnace to dope the silicon with phosphor and create an oxide layer. Then he attached leads to them to create transistors and diodes. Then he arranged the transistors into logic gates and created an ALU. Then he designed a CPU around the ALU. Then he built some memory out of the iron he refined to make toroid core memory for the bus system and some edge triggers for IO attached to the IO bus. Then he built a transistor radio and hooked it up to the IO bus with a modulator/de-modulator and uploaded the video onto youtube using packet radio over RTTY.

Good heavens! It is only when seeing the whole process that it dawns on a person precisely _how much_ coal, ore, clay, and intense processing was required. It must have taken months of dedicated effort to produce that chisel and knife. Congratulations! You have definitely earned those tools!
Process was intense, but nowhere near as long as you might think. Check the video about how elders in Africa reenact a bloom smelt with local materials. Takes them about 2 weeks to prepare, that's 2 furnaces, one gets destroyed by rain, so they have 1 left and they obtain a 25 kg bloom or so. If you were to do it with a small group of smiths, I would say: -coal prep = 4 days - gather wood and burn it anaerob -tuileries, furnace and bellows - 2 days to make + 2 days to cook -ore gathering - 1 day -ore cooking + smashing - 1 day -1 day miscellaneous - actual smelting, bloom consolidation and splitting - 1 day In total about 12 days to get a piece of bloom that can be refined in whatever tool or weapon you want. But think about what this advancement meant: humans could craft iron tools, whenever, wherever they lived, in middle of Siberia, in forests of Europe or in the islands of the Pacific. Bronze was very rare and super expensive, since you needed tin (Sn) which is a very rare material. Iron is everywhere, is the most common material on Earth, all it takes is to identify proper red rock, prepare for 2 weeks and then get your own iron tool ! Assuming you could get access to a tin deposit through trade, with Britania for example, it would take half a year before your trade caravan would make it back with the precious tin (only known source of tin in bronze age, afaik)
@@blazingcobra7228 I'm also very suspicious of the metal, that's not how you cast iron and his furnace is nowhere nearly hot enough to melt iron, to make it drip into that slit he made in clay. I believe that's lead or something else. That furnace is about as hot as my grill in my yard, using modern cox coal and ventilation, 800 celsius at most. No flux used, yeah you need 1538 C to melt iron, almost twice as hot as what he used. About 1100 C was obtainable historically, to get a bloom, number needs verification though.

I've vaporized brass in a backyard coal fired furnace you guys...I have also melted aluminum with ease. Yes, I know that aluminum has a much lower melting point, but this is not impossible. Of course, I was using a hair dryer, but I didn't even have a breach that wide so mine was burning far less fuel with an equal size circumference stack. So mine was far less efficient. I think it is entirely possible that this is iron. Of course, if he were to put a magnet against it that would have probably silenced the nay sayers. It's hard for people to imagine with their high tech furnaces that you can actually do quite a bit with pure crap. They did it in the iron age though, and that ought to be proof enough.
@@peterlamont647 I'm sorry but I disagree. What you melted is totally in the possibility of a backyard fire pit.

That rotary bellows thing works so amazingly well. I've watched almost all the primitive channels and this guy i feel has built the most satisfying village thus far.
Using the knife mold itself as a crucible is absolute genius... was wondering how he was going to cast the blade without being able to manipulate the molten metal
Yup - seems like this technique is more effective than primitive technology’s method. Both are amazing channels, but the finished product here is astounding. Wouldn’t have believed it without proof
@@mojoxide Primitive technology is sourcing the iron from bacteria because there isn't any good iron ore in his area, that's why its alot of work for very little iron. It all depends on what material you start with.
103683e How could one person be so dense to believe that I’m pretty stupid and it’s so fucking clear those videos are fake One time they left bulldozer marks and forgot to clean them up
@@stevem815 Primitive Technology shared this information with the world... so that other people could use it. Besides in places like China it is considered an honor to copy the masters work.
All you need for that is an insulated piece of conductive metal as a battery (very bad, but functional battery) and some conductive wire (preferably copper) and a home made motor.
@vin 950 Right, but the magnet would still have let him extract the iron pellets from the crushed slag a lot faster. No need to search through to find them, either. While I disagree-as you do-that it would've made the WHOLE process easier, or that the change would have been that big in the one part it would help for...but, still.
if you take a magnet and drag it threw a river you get metal miterial but if you smelt it the becomes weak and bridle same here if he did that he would get weak metal
Youre not wrong, Processing Iron is kinda difficult to make. If you are not carefull in adding the right amount of fuel and ores. You might end up having a Different type of Processed Iron (Casted iron) which isnt that bad of course. But not as good as The actual Processed Iron you would actualy want off.
clay specifically. its quite useful. ceramics are a massive accomplishment of human engineering. where you can construct almost anything. water tight properties, heat conductive. all because someone noticed that having a really hot fire turned a specific material orange/red and noticed it change from just being "mud" to being an incredibly useful tool. bricks to make anything, tiles to make roofing, molds to form metal, kilns to cook bread in, kilns to fire ceramic in, fire places to make burning wood more efficient.
CircumcisionIsChildAbuse Did I ask? No. Did I need this information? No. Did I receive Random information that I probably won’t need to know unless I’m an architect? Yes. Is it good to know? Yes. Thx for the information.
Great job! 👍 I think I would have probably tried to harden it by heating and quickly cooling in water, but that’s just me. Possibly smelting it with charcoal also might have helped add carbon to it and then a basic hardening afterwards. Would be interesting to see if and how much it improves the final product. This is a great video, shows how difficult it was to produce even a tiny bit of iron. Excellent work!
Imagine that this guy is actually just a prehistoric man and some guy just put up like 100 cameras and waits until something happens and edits the clips together
guys... this video is demonetized. this man has accomplished something no other primitive tech channel has done thus far: he has created a weapon. think about that. the first primitive tech channel to produce something worthy of demonetization. that is an achievement in and of itself. props to this guy, he deserves an award
That is a ton of work for such a tiny amount of iron. It really makes one appreciate the industrial revolution. Still its interesting to see how it was done in the old days.

Me: sleeps all day
This guy: makes it into the iron age by himself
this is genius, I dont care what anyone says. 999 out of 1000 wouldnt know how to do this.
That rotary bellows thing works so amazingly well. I've watched almost all the primitive channels and this guy i feel has built the most satisfying village thus far.
Bet these guys snowball to full metal AK in a day
this mans isnt on a 1x hes on a 0.5x server
there u can see that he's a naked xD
He’s better than cnd blood
Lol rust memes
wow...
Were living in 2019 while this man is living in 800 B.C.
or in 2200 A.C.
i think you're the only one that lives in 800 b.c
That One Kid with his materials yes but not with his knowledge
But he's catching up fast. Probably be on Mars by December.
Wait...we had cameras in 800 B.C.?
Сколько труда. Спасибо за такое познавательное видео.
Using the knife mold itself as a crucible is absolute genius... was wondering how he was going to cast the blade without being able to manipulate the molten metal
Yup - seems like this technique is more effective than primitive technology’s method. Both are amazing channels, but the finished product here is astounding. Wouldn’t have believed it without proof
@@mojoxide Primitive technology is sourcing the iron from bacteria because there isn't any good iron ore in his area, that's why its alot of work for very little iron. It all depends on what material you start with.
primitive people be having better fades than me.

I’m in danger
Imagine if they were all competing for ressources in the same forest... the guys who build pools just do it for them so they don't get killed...

i agree with you dear, in my channel i do the same
i also agree with you, i also do the same in my channel
i will anote that in my book of things that doesnt fucking care at all
Lol right
Actaully the louder you are the less you attract wild life
blew my mind when i saw him finally piece together that contraption to feed air faster to the furnace. genius
Exactly was looking for this comment
He copied it from primitive technology, the mother of these primitive channels.
@@stevem815 Primitive Technology shared this information with the world... so that other people could use it. Besides in places like China it is considered an honor to copy the masters work.
@@esben181 yes, but copying is not 'genius' like the comment I replied to was saying.
@@stevem815 I see, alright my bad thanks for clarifying
This guy is just insanely remarkable...what a pleasure it is to watch him craft every one of his projects...!!
Okay, man, when are you gonna invent the electricity?
When fire prices get too high
uheuhuahuahauha
next video he creates a hydroelectric with bamboo and rope kkkkkkkk
Its possible.
You could find copper ore too
Find any kind of acid like liquid
Like the bagdad battery
You think making electricity is hard?
All you need for that is an insulated piece of conductive metal as a battery (very bad, but functional battery) and some conductive wire (preferably copper) and a home made motor.
What about light bulb or some kind?
I was sitting here thinking “how many times am I goin to watch him gather rocks?”

Amazing. Best knife I have ever seen, I love making knives myself but this is a whole different thing. Respect, gentlemen!
The shear amount of things this man knows how to do is absurdly impressive. Love the vids.
He searches the internet for instructions then makes it all look ancient. I’m jealous
If ever humans will turn into stone, this video will be helpful. Despite the fact that all things like internet will vanish.
so you mean it wont be helpful
Heh, Dr. Stone reference. Well then, write instructions on clay or stone tablets. We've found some dating back over 5000 years.
Well done!The most expensive and valuable knife in the world.
man, this whole process would be made infinitely easier just by having *one* magnet
Or just going to the store and buying one
@vin 950 Right, but the magnet would still have let him extract the iron pellets from the crushed slag a lot faster. No need to search through to find them, either. While I disagree-as you do-that it would've made the WHOLE process easier, or that the change would have been that big in the one part it would help for...but, still.
But how could he distinguish iron from the slag? Because I’m the heat it balled up into the shape it did or?...
I just thought the samething. If he had some magnetite, which is a mineral, he could separate de iron sphers
if you take a magnet and drag it threw a river you get metal miterial but if you smelt it the becomes weak and bridle same here if he did that he would get weak metal

Thats More than Excellent.... I Loved it +++++++
is this your old camp? Great to see it again. Best Survival Channel on YT!
And my whole life I thought mining ore in Runescape was a pain in the ass.
Youre not wrong, Processing Iron is kinda difficult to make. If you are not carefull in adding the right amount of fuel and ores. You might end up having a Different type of Processed Iron (Casted iron) which isnt that bad of course. But not as good as The actual Processed Iron you would actualy want off.
What iv learned: mud is used in literally everything
clay specifically. its quite useful. ceramics are a massive accomplishment of human engineering. where you can construct almost anything. water tight properties, heat conductive. all because someone noticed that having a really hot fire turned a specific material orange/red and noticed it change from just being "mud" to being an incredibly useful tool. bricks to make anything, tiles to make roofing, molds to form metal, kilns to cook bread in, kilns to fire ceramic in, fire places to make burning wood more efficient.

He literally found iron in the surface
Thats luckier than minecraft
Bog ore is fairly common, though granted the area looked rather dry to be finding it. Possibly washed there during a flood.
Iron ore is pretty common...
@@ChaotikmindSrc A lot of gold is mined in Vietnam, and other places, just by panning the rivers, we used to do it here in America.

Typhoid Feverr your cousin sounds like a wise man
I bet this guy made the best volcano at the science fair.
Lol 😂
He made the volcano out of actual bits of volcano.
From the stone age to the iron age. Congrats, mate 😁
Great job! 👍 I think I would have probably tried to harden it by heating and quickly cooling in water, but that’s just me. Possibly smelting it with charcoal also might have helped add carbon to it and then a basic hardening afterwards. Would be interesting to see if and how much it improves the final product. This is a great video, shows how difficult it was to produce even a tiny bit of iron. Excellent work!
Sound of that rain.. amazing. Fantastic video by the way..
Like Doctor Stone , but only with one Indian guy
Fr
i see im not the only one with this thought
Bollywood Doctor Stone
Just imagine him helping senku make an iron😁
how o u know he is indian? he looks asian to me
Imagine that this guy is actually just a prehistoric man and some guy just put up like 100 cameras and waits until something happens and edits the clips together
Yea, the guy just gave him some Adidas shorts to fuck with us
Man zoo has a strict dress code for all exhibits
The flywheel broke me. If a guy from my village built that, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
Well done. Beautiful knife and chisel.
Hmm.. you just advanced from stone age to iron age. Very nice video
i honestly was expecting the easier method but nope, i'm impressed
The new minecraft graphics are amazing!

Wow! Thanks. Now I know how to make knife. Will try this tomorrow.
Сколько труда из за небольшой вещи ......клас.
That is a ton of work for such a tiny amount of iron. It really makes one appreciate the industrial revolution. Still its interesting to see how it was done in the old days.
It wasnt done like that
If u didn’t read the title, would anyone else think he is making a sandpit?
I'd of assumed he was making a small shelter. Honestly, I think the process might just be that except for building up walls.
I'm inspired, moving to the Jungle to build little knives.
You are incredibly skilled. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

He makes these videos because he's got a Ferrari payment to make.
Personally, the drill thing that looks like your starting a lawnmower was the most ingenious part.
It was so simple too! Just a large clump of pig iron pulled straight from the ashes, sharpened to a point, stuck in a stick. Flywheel and bow to increase mechanical powder. Genius!
Primitive drill.
