What is the Gold Play Button REALLY made of?!?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2016
- The RUclips Gold Play Button is one of the most coveted awards a RUclipsr can get. Is it really made of gold? Is the Silver Play button really made out of silver? There is only one way to find out. Watch as we take the Gold and Silver play buttons from the RUclips channel WhatsInside, and stick them deep inside a $750,000 Electron Microscope that will give us the exact elemental make up of the Gold Play button.
This is the SAME play button that was cut in half by the Whatsinside RUclips channel: • What's inside the YouT...
And HERE on Casey Neistats Vlog: • DESTROYING GOLD PLAY B...
The Gold Play Button is given to RUclipsrs who reach 1 Million subscribers.
The Silver Play Button is given to RUclipsrs who reach 100k subscribers.
There is another award for the few RUclipsrs who reach 10 Million subscribers... Let me know if you have one, and we can asses the elemental make up ;-)
The Video talks about several different scenarios, but the main point is that the Gold Play button DOES contain REAL GOLD! Which is amazing.
This video was shot entirely with a Galaxy S7 Edge, and an iPhone 7 Plus. (The computer screen shots were the one filmed with an iPhone. It handled the monitor flicker better, but the audio on iPhone is crap.)

My uncle used to run a gold plating business that ran parts for many different companies including Hewitt Packard at one point. He commented that this is an extremely common issue with gold plating since the brass will not plate properly directly to gold(nor will it have much wear resistance) it is first plated with Nickel and then plated with the composition of Gold requested by the company the Nickel is typically by far the thicker coating for various reasons and will show up in an electron microscope either if the gold is not plated on thick enough or has been worn down his thought on this was that the gold had simply been worn down slightly judging by the state of the play button and that is what is causing the nickel and zinc to show through. this does show that you would need to re plate the piece if you wanted it to last a particularly long time and both front and back are plated to help with corrosion resistance. If you want the part to be safe from oxidization you may want to re plate the parts that were cut or worn down in the front.

Conclusion: there is some gold in gold button, but their is no silver in silver button.

Well done RUclips
To be fair, putting real silver in an award given for only 100,000 subs would be too expensive for them.
Brandon Gonzales for a company that makes billions?
@@Memeshi Also, if we assume they use about 1lb of pure silver per award, that's $272. Currently, silver is $17/oz and there are 16oz per 1lb. So multiply $272 by 10,000 (a small fraction of people with the reward), you get over $2 million. That's without the added manufacturing costs.
@@feifeidu6047 people don't care what's inside their silver button anyway, so why do they have to spend money on that?

Little late to the game, but the play button is electroplated with nickel to act is a diffusion barrier to keep the gold on the exterior and the bronze on the inside. To add even more protection they'll sometimes add palladium as well. Without the diffusion layer, the gold, copper, and zinc would migrate and mix together.
Imagine doing all this without recording
now we need a diamond play button

Then it'll be made out of Glass...
nope diamond play button is actually diamond. even title says.

Great video! When using SEM/EDX, try and keep an eye on the interaction volume of the electron beam with the sample. It could be picking up Ni from underneath the Au coating perhaps.
%15 gold is honestly better than i was expecting
bradley morgan 15%*
DunnyDunDidIt Grammar nazi!
Actually, it's only the plating (which usually it's the thickness of 0.3mm) that contains any gold at all while the button itself has nine, RUclips could've reserved that lie written on the button by themselves and just said straight away it's ha golden button and doesn't hold any more value than a sentimental one

2:45 “that silver thing right there” everything in there was silver
Love your videos jerry....so inspiring and motivating!!!
Great video! This is actually the lab where I work. So here is some analysis. The beam that you were using for the front was a 20 kV beam (you can see that on the video if you pause it too). At that energy the beam will penetrate approximately 1.162 microns into the surface. For the back you used 10 kV which penetrates approximately 0.41 microns, thus the discrepancy in the concentrations could have been largely due to the difference in beam energies. Now, how gold plating works, is that you first put down a barrier metal to prevent the gold from migrating into the core material. The most common used metal is Nickel, which is exactly what you found. Now depending on the type of plating used there are going to be different thicknesses of gold plating. If they used Gold Flash or Gold Electroplate then the layer thickness would be about 0.175 microns and if they used Gold Plate then it is approximately 0.5 microns. So being that the beam only penetrated 0.41 microns on the front it is most like they used Gold Electroplate (or Gold plating and it wore off). I would expect Gold Electroplate since more recent electroplating techniques are not only cheaper but also more durable. For silver, I'm sure they didn't use silver because it tarnishes and turns black from oxidation. So in the best interest of the customer, they used a metal just as shiny that didn't need to be polished regularly.
Awesome catch with that beam penetration. We realized this as well during filming. So we went back and fixed the shot. You'll notice at 3:38 there is a jump cut. At that cut, I move from explaining the images shot at 20kV, but I show the weights from the 10 kV shot. So the information I SAY and show in the video are correct, the 20 kV image was essentially B-Roll film before we fixed the beam. So to summarize, what you see in the video: 15.4% Au is at the 10 kV beam. You are also correct, you can see at 3:31 if you pause at the right spot, Au is 6.2% with the 20 kV beam. That's when we realized we had a discrepancy and fixed it.
Observant though. I'm impressed. Interesting information about the gold plating.
That makes more sense. Science!
The discrepancy in concentration is because the SEM operator collected the topside spectrum at a working distance of 7.7mm, and then collected the bottomside spectrum at 11.4mm. That specific microscope is designed with the EDS detector pointing at 10mm, and that is where the collection efficiency (as a function of solid-angle collection) is maximum. The 7.7mm spectrum is farther from the optimum plane than the 11.4mm spectrum, creating an apparent difference in concentration. It's all just measurement error. I'd imagine that the amounts would match more closely if you tried at 10mm WD.
Gregory Wilson wow impressive👋👍
Get this man a diamond play button! When *need* to know what it’s made of

They would not want brass to oxidize, so gold plating is a good idea. I work with a lot of brass, and they age (gracefully) but won't be gold too long.

Gold plating can be done so thin RUclips probably spends more to ship it to you
In spectrograph analysis it depens how big voltage he used for the beam. Higher voltage - deper analysis. So if the gold layer is very thin, it will be better try lower voltage :-) I was working in Thermofisher scientific which is making this microscopes :-)

Well, you can make an article for that one. "Study of the structure and microstructure of gold play button"
Why agent 47 is destroying play button? Shouldn't he be killing people for money as a Hitman?
Just watched the video, thought it was interesting as I am a specialist in electron microscopy. I think I know why they didn't see as much gold as they expected.
Basically, when the beam of electrons hits the sample, the actually enter the sample, going anywhere to 10 microns (or 0.01 mm) into the sample (depending on the beam energy and sample). Most of the X-rays that are generated (and used to identify the elements) come from deeper into the sample.
The gold coating could be as thin as a few hundred nanometres. That is 0.0001 mm! that means most of the signal the X-ray detector pics up comes from the sub-surface layer, which is not gold.
Basically, you can have a very pure gold surface coating that is *so thin* that it doesn't register very well with a conventional detector setup. But its still *pure* and therefore 24k gold.
Nice

Hossein salamat why not
That awkward moment when a button has traveled more than you..
interesting, my theory about more gold on the back, is that they plated the whole thing in gold, and then polished the front which apparently removed around 5%, if 24k gold was used, then maybe the reader can penetrate a little bit under the surface to discover all that nickel. I mean, if the theory is correct it means that after just 3 polishes, which I assume they also remove as little material as possible, you get to the nickel, so definitely possible that the spectrometer can see some nickel underneath the gold.
Starts to scratch at a level 8, with deeper grooves at level 9.
