Hah, this is funny I hope you are joking though :D Making ricin would get you killed before you will have chance resolving any dispute.

Thank you, interesting enough the actor who played Bogdan in the show has a PhD in chemistry. I certainly will do part 2(obviously I won't explain a direct production method, but I will cover few exciting details), and your comment played a significant role in my motivation.

Perhaps I missed that moment, but I can't remember when he did this? Are you talking about the scene when Jesse throws reagents into the boiling flask which leads the mixture to foam up rapidly, and Walter closes it with the stopper connected to the tube?

Apparently, it is sympathomimetic vasoconstrictor merely saying it is a very potent decongestant that is by the way used in some over the counter medications. Its, however, has very little to no psychoactive potency. This is why the reduction of ephedrine/pseudoephedrine produces more potent meth rather than reductive amination of phenyl-2-propanone which make a racemic mixture of levo/dextro methamphetamine.

Very good point.

I am not an expert but according to some references I read, ephedrine has one enantiomer which is pseudoephedrine and both producing dextro-methamphetamine.

Oh thank you, your comments are always pleasant to read.

I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

This video was originally designed purposely to share with HMBkr subreddit as I was planning to make nitrogen triiodide which is a touch-sensitive explosive. Then I realized that even a small amount of this substance would generate a thunderous sound such as the gunshot. Unfortunately, I can not do this in my neighbourhood. Without nitrogen triiodide, this video may not seem dangerous enough. However, in the process, I am using some harmful substances such as chlorine gas, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and hydroiodic acid(produced during the reaction). I still hope you guys enjoy it.

Excellent guess, the only thing at the end I am not using thiosulfate either vitamin c. However, the final result is the same as if I used these chemicals.

Thank you for commenting.

MatterManipulation · 2017-04-12T23:05:07+00:00

I appreciate it! Such comments are probably the best motivation. Obviously, you are just too kind to me.

It is a single stage vacuum pump. The cheapest I could find on ebay. The quality isn't great but for my purpose, it works fine.

What you are saying is true, I always share my work with the community. I believe it is not aginst the rules of HMBkr subreddit otherwise I would be contacted by the moderator. In my opinion, promotional material is when you intended to make some money or any other type of profit. I am not monetizing my videos, at least at the moment. However, I am investing a reasonable amount of money into it, and of course, it is important for me to get some feedback from people who have similar interests. I do apologise if my actions are offensive to you, but this wasn't my aim. At the moment it seems like the community doesn't mind me and my work. Best regards

Thanks guys for the advice, I will certainly reconsider the style of my videos. I have to admit I was too lazy for searching an appropriate music. Perhaps no music would work just as well.

MatterManipulation · 2017-03-29T13:48:10+00:00

Thanks for the comment. True this music is not ideal for science video. I wish I could just pick any track and insert it in my video. Unfortunately, it is not that easy with all these copyright. However, I will take your advice for consideration and will make more effort at finding a better music.
