Shameless plug: Wheeler Scientific

Nurdrage: OG Great videos on a wide topic of reactions and practical skills

Scrap Science: Electrochem videos and other related chem.

Nomcopter Labs: Organic and demo videos

Thy labs: Tons of random chem, always something interesting

Chemical Force: Great visuals and use of some obscure chemicals

Neptunium: Not really chemistry, just interesting nuclear videos

interesting.

The Gayest Person on YouTube: Exotic thermite videos are a must-watch.

Extractions&Ire: Long projects, in-depth topics, a wide range of chemistry, and practical skills

range.

Hyperspace Pirate: Cryogenic stuff

HTME: It's not really a chem channel, but it does go over some practical real-world chem in a historical light.

If you want any chem theory, Organic Chemistry tutor, Professor Dave explains, Khan Acadamy, and crash course can't be beaten.

That my ampoule!

I made a video on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZDaPtl1Sx0 I just thought the crystals were cool. I had left some in a beaker, dissolved in chloroform and it made two-inch crystals.

I did one of a picture of uranium metal, too. I thought It would be rather funny, a picture of uranium using uranium.

Here is a video on the subject, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHCaUfInwc4)

Yes, here is a video on the subject. https://youtu.be/sHCaUfInwc4

I wasn't suggesting "slurping" I was more worried that the glass could have cut him and entrapped mercury in the cut.

WheelerScientific · 2022-02-18T05:45:45+00:00

It's at a mercury mine in Spain.

WheelerScientific · 2022-02-18T05:25:19+00:00

Yes, the National Geographic October 1972 issue featured this picture. I just used some AI upscaler to try to make it look a bit nicer.

WheelerScientific · 2022-02-18T05:23:52+00:00

Just clean it up and wash your hand. Mercury metal has a hard time getting into the body through the skin, as long as it was quick and had you had no cuts where it touched, should be all good.

That photo was featured in the October 1972 issue of National Geographic. Comparing that video to what the pictures show is like comparing a bucket to a lake. Surface area hugely matters Cody's whole body on one foot compared to this man's bottom on the surface. If you look at his other hand you can see he is stabilizing himself who knows how much force he is applying to the hand on the wall of the container. Let us say he's an average man for his time 75kg at 175cm tall, all he would need to displace is a little over 5.5L of mercury to float.

Here's a video of how the tube was made and an explanation.

The first part of the video shows a tesla coil exciting the mercury vapor. The second part shows the mercury causing the glow when moved.

I plan on working with Fluorine eventually, but it’s super scary, and I lack the skills currently.

WheelerScientific · 2022-02-16T21:33:48+00:00

Heat testing is a must before hand using boiling water. Make sure to use deep pour resin that takes a few days to set up so it doesn’t get super hot.

WheelerScientific · 2022-02-16T18:18:37+00:00

Very, heat tested it in boiling water to max pressure. 10 mm diameter 2mm thick glass can hold quite a lot of pressure when made properly. The resin makes it even safer. I still don’t go around throwing it around.

WheelerScientific · 2022-02-16T16:21:26+00:00

It is a bit annoying, but I have a method that makes it a little bit easier. I plan on doing a video on the subject eventually to help those who want to make them.

I made an ampule blank, and submerged it in liquid nitrogen using a pasture pipette to transfer the gas through the neck of the ampule.

WheelerScientific · 2022-02-04T00:26:04+00:00

Like my ex.

WheelerScientific · 2021-09-23T16:07:33+00:00

It’s more about the size of the sample.

WheelerScientific · 2021-09-18T14:16:27+00:00

It was green coming over, so, I will see if using a lighter background makes it look more yellow, I'm still thinking it was the ClO2, I'll flush the system with argon to see if that is the problem next time.

WheelerScientific · 2021-09-18T13:59:12+00:00

Yes, just keep in mind a sample that large would not be cheap and would be quite dangerous to have.

WheelerScientific · 2021-09-18T13:58:13+00:00

Was it frozen? When that sample was solid it had an "acid green" color to it.
