If you’re going to put that much caffeine to make the “redder bull” you need to get better scales. Good video.
Exactly... dudes gonna OD on it unless he's a HEAVY boi
Yall are NOT caffeine addicts
You mean balance
That's about enough caffeine to kill 2 adult men, lol. 3000mg in a drink has actually happened before. An Australian energy drink company screwed up their math and a bartender died when she drank one of the first cans from that batch.
Interesting, it turns out that i unintentionally created a death juice
It just depends on your weight and tolerance. 3000mg is around 2 cups of Devil Mountain Black Label, and while I didn't die, I definitely felt like I was going to lol
i regularly drink over a gram
@@unlockeduk this cant be good
@@joshx01 i daily consume ~500mg-1g
I gotta mention, you can be a bit more aggressive with the sep funnel. It does form an emulsion if it was done too vigorously, but if the layers doesn't come in contact with each other with the highest surface area possible, the yield will be decreased significantly.
I'm talking from experience.
Well done extraction!👍
Entertaining presentation, that's exactly my kind of humour. 😆
Very appropriate safety precautions and warnings.
It's a pleasure to watch such planful work and the attention you pay on each step (I especially loved it how gently you washed the tiny filter residue).
Three little hints:
- An electric grinder isn't very expensive, but facilitates shredding immensely.
- Foodsafe substances can be dried very well in the kitchen oven.
- Coffein sublimates rather than it melts. I guess it just gave off remaining moisture here.
Thanks! I just brought a electric grinder along some other very cool stuff for future videos. Also thanks for all of the advice you are giving me, it is nice to learn from an experienced chemist :)

That's no one way street - ideally we all learn from each other. For example, today I learned from your video how to deprotonate impurities with sodium bicarbonate to keep them less soluble in organic solvents like DCM. Thank you for providing insight! 👍

Btw.: Did you calculate your 101 % yield with anhydrous caffeine or with the hydrate which forms when crystallized from water?
@@experimental_chemistry It was probably a mix of both, because i weighted it as soon as i scraped it off the pan which was pretty wet on one side.
@@Amateur.Chemistry Considering it's always the hydrate you get when you crystallize from water the yield will also be lower then - let's say: more normal...
Your Polish coffee tree is most efficient! It even bags the coffee seeds for you!
The caffeine extraction is one of the best extractions I've ever made
btw: very nice video and I'm Polish too
Thanks! It is nice to see more Polish pepole in the chemistry community :)
@@Amateur.Chemistry you are Polish?
@focused yes
@@Amateur.Chemistry love from hungary. 🇭🇺

Rip snail 🐌 😢
@13:14 You managed to kill the snail... The Snail !!!
(look it up , its a meme)
Love that spot-washing of the caffeine crystals in the vacuum filter, and your ribbing of Nigel, both executed perfectly.
Awesome that you drank it! Confidence in your chemistry! I remember my lab partner and I in organic chemistry saw a whole jar of powdered caffeine on one of the shelves in the lab and so we joked about snorting some. The teacher overheard us and laughed with us but told us that it probably wasn't pure enough to safely snort. lmao Had it not been one of our earlier classes during our year of organic chemistry, I probably would have joked back at the teacher that maybe we should run an extra experiment and run a few distillations to sufficiently purify the caffeine. lol Bet it would have really hurt if we seriously tried to snort it though. Ouch!
Idk in my youth I experimented with snorting caffeine. I found that generic tablets did hurt, but brand name no-doz did not burn at all. Never been a fan of suffloxation. I'd imagine pure caffeine would be simmilar to the no-doz.
I bought >99% pure caffeine offline for making "energy water". A few times I haven't had water to down it with it, the flavor is gnarly. As a result I take little key bumps now and then. It hurts but it works almost immediately.
caffeine powder doesnt hurt to snort, not any more than hydrocodone does
Infra-red bull
I love this. You're like a middle ground between NileRed and Explosions&Fire. Keep up the good(?) work.
Just found your channel, instantly subscribed and binged all your videos! Much love!
Good video 🐌
wallace hammering along with you had me in tears
This is a great chemistry channel, you deserve more subscribers (but all I can offer is one more)
Keep making videos like this and you'll be rich enough to buy some big ol beakers in no time :)
After two videos, this being my third, I am completely obsessed ❤
How funny would it have been if that snail started flying
The ślimak in the beaker was actually a slug, not a snail, as it has no shell
3g of coffeine? heart palpitations here we come :D
Beautiful !!!
10:50 that ethanol looks a lot lower than the first experiment 🥴 that little beaker washing the crystals = half a bottle
Yup seems right to me 👍
I wonder how difficult it would be to mass produce caffeine chemically to use as a pesticide.
😳
Nice one! Greetings from Germany!
F in chat for that snail.
add any kind of powder to a drink with carbonated water will start foaming because powder has a big surface area there is a kids experiment called dancing raisins were the raisins are drop in to soda-pop the rinkles collect bubble and flote to the top they pop it sinks down and starts over
"Isn't that beautiful?"
To me it looks like a combination of lard, fiberglass and cotton balls.
19:40 my unintelligent self wouldve started drinking the foam so it doesn't overflow 💀
I found caffeine pills that are just pure caffeine in gelcaps. This is easier to measure out small quantities than bulk powder, as each capsule is 200mg. That makes it easy to use when making a batch of my own drink recipes.
when you were pounding those tablets in a bag, with a hammer. I'm thinking. Seems that that would be the perfect use for my coffee grinder. It grinds down to 00, for espresso . It would probably still benefit by going over to the (mortar, pestle). But it would be a really good first step.
Nice video, but one thing.. you should probably get a glass plate or something to rest your equipment on top of... DCM and other solvents, even Acetone could just destroy the finish on the lovely wooden floorboard you got there
What concentration of dichloromethane and sodium carbonate should i use?
I thought I'll have smth like a nilered video but no, I realized it when you played music in the beginning, I don't remember I ever heard music in nilered

Where can I get your Redder Bull??? I am in EU
forbidden cotton candy
It has at least 100% of the LD 50 in every can, guaranteed.
Not quite, but remember they come in 4 packs 👀
Did you use caffeine before this video?
Infrared Bull?
Amazing job well done how are you love your work
Thank you very much! I am great :)
@@Amateur.Chemistry You are a amazing chemist
17:46 Forbidden cotton candy...
Caffeine tolerance level: Narcolepsy
I have heard that in industry caffeine could be extracted from tea production waste (tea dust). Frugal yield of your method suggests the existence of more efficient techniques. Am i wrong?
Extracting caffeine is pretty efficient and cheap on the industrial scale. I think that most of it comes from decaffeinating coffee ond other products.
Yeah, industrially, caffeine is extracted using supercritical CO2, but you need pressure vessels for that sort of extraction.
19Minutes: Dude, it was nice to knowing you....hahhaha
I have the exact same scale you have. 😮
This is what the F1 racing team use to fuel it's cars. Also makes a good jet fuel for the F22
Any alkaloids can be extracted using this method though the alkaloid may be weak acid or weak base? BTW nice "The redder bull"😂
13:37 Has it really to be a separate step? Why not ad a good amount of spirit and heat the mix to 45C until boiling stops? Then just add more spirit, if necessary.
Dude could you please do the experiments I cannot find any answers to?
Can you dissolve sugar in salt-saturated + water solution?
What happens if you throw salt through a stream of salt-saturated +water solution? Will it be dry after leaving the stream?
dryer salt will suck water out of the saturated solution, chemicals, heat etc tries to find it's lowest energy state and try to get to the lowest equalibrium(ie, everything becomes the same heat/saturation)
That chloroform clip was funny
yo that's the track dankpods uses
6 hours = 5 Lab minutes 😂👏
Yeah you can buy 5 g of pure caffeine crazy without a good scale u can easily overdose. U need a good scale that can measure accurately 50 to 100 mg. 1 g of caffeine could kill.
6 caffeine pills in one drink!
And I thought the Panera Bread Charged Lemonade had a lot of caffeine
caffeine isn't "quite addictive" per se; it's not completely non-addictive, but its risk is fairly low compared to alcohol and nicotine, the other two most common legal recreational psychoactive substances.

Not even snails are safe in the polish hood
If you drink this you will be able to taste music and hear colours
Nope you will just hear you heart beating... and then maybe nothing lol
Coffee plant became coffee post
If you drank that ... seek medical help .
ALSO: you could have extracted the caffiene in the 95% ethanol by itself .. you didnt need to mess with the DCM at all.
Couldn't you just throw the pills in water filter out the cellulose and then boil off the water?
If that pan is non-stick you gave yourself cancer. GG
if you extract it from tea you are going to get a lot of theobromine contamination
you may wanna put the mic a little closer to your mouth and maybe try to talk a litlle slower.
especially in the beginning of the video it was little hard to understand you.
it might help if you used some kind of mic-passthrough so you can here yourself talk.
great video
I like your accent, where are you from?
I am from poland :)
@@Amateur.Chemistry oh, nice, i was thinking you were from Spain lmao
An animal commited suicide in your beaker. Welcome to the RUclips Chemistry Club! 😂
twice in my life I took 1600 Mg of caffeine. You do NOT want to consume 3 grams in one sitting. It will not be fun.
I overdosed caffeine accidentally once (I did something like 1.5-2g) (i am not a heavy caffeine user... and the pills had more than I expected and I didn't check), it was one of the worst experiences of my life, easily. And I have overdosed on other things when I had more problems in my life, (never lethal LD-50 overdose amounts, but severe overdoses nonetheless, that should have gone to the ER). It was the worst by far, I truly felt like I was dying, because I guess I was. Funny how American healthcare works where I didn't even go to the hospital or ER bc I would rather die than have the debt lmao
hey! we have the same brand of kitchen pans!
You should check for state insurance where you live. Otherwise, just go to the hospital anyway, and when they send the bill, just don’t pay it. They don’t actually force people to pay anything.
There isn't an "x" in "espresso"
Ohh boy, do i see a cross over episode with ChubbyEmu in the near future?! "A amateur chemist put 3 grams of caffeine into a redbull, this is what happened to his heart"ruclips.net/video/sylqJ0NEVJw/видео.html
Such a shame I can’t drink this bc it’s not edible

poor snail...
i wish red bull came to this comment section
that was a homeless snail aka a slug
nice but where do u buy chloroform? lol
You can actually buy it in a chem supply store
@@Amateur.Chemistry not in western countries..
YOU DRANK THAT????
yup, but only a few sips
"Ethanol is toxic"
Ethanol has a higher LD50 than caffeine.
OMG POLSKA
899th like, nice
polish chemistry
Ahoj
Amateur is apt for this channel. But I love to see the process of growth/discovery/experimentation. Even though I could perform this 100x better I still enjoyed watching lol.
Lol... That's fucked up man
I let my digestive tract extract my caffeine. Most efficient method, usually 100% yield. ... jokes aside, unironically get a coffee grinder.
3000mg of caffeine is like LD99
