Patreon Preview - Make sulfur dioxide

Preview of video on making sulfur dioxide. As usual it's just a preview using the computer voice.

Simple and straightforward video. i'm thinking of posting this video, and the hotplate stirrer repair video together so we have two simple videos to make up for a complex video. 

Let me know what you think.

Patreon Preview - Lab notes on making potassium permanganate

Still a work in progress, so let me know what you think. i'll probably add a few clips to flesh it out and reduce the "dead air time" at the beginning.  I also need to write and insert the equations. 

Feel free to ask any questions or request additions.

Patreon Preview - Chemical thunderstorm in a beaker

Very rough cut of my next video. As usual i'm using the computer voice before dubbing it.

After doing the super complicated peroxide titration, i wanted to do something fun and simple...

okay my actual reason is that my latest megaproject of copper refining has hit some major setbacks, so i'm producing some simpler videos so i have more time to fix the copper video... anyway...

Is the thunderstorm video interesting enough as it is? anything else i should try or examine withi...

There is still time to fix it if you see any errors or if there are big questions you'd like me answer. So let me know what you think.

Patreon Preview - Find the Concentration of Hydrogen Peroxide by Titration

Rough cut preview of my hydrogen peroxide titration video. Once again i'm starting with the computer voice just to test the script. I'll replace with my trademark sexy voice later.

Make Sodium Oxalate - Primary Standard for Analytical Chemistry

Final version

Patreon Preview - Make sodium oxalate

Quick patreon preview of my next video make sodium oxalate.

Looking back now i think i'm going to expand the introduction a bit to explain more why we would want sodium oxalate. (It's an analytical standard used to calibrate other standards). So this video is not the final version.

Anyway, this video is part of another video where I do a titration on hydrogen peroxide "oxygen bleach" but i felt making the analytical standard could be a separate video so i split it off into this on...

Lab Equipment: Rotary Evaporator or "Rotovap"

Final version


View Post

Patreon Preview - Lab Equipment - Rotary Evaporator "Rotovap"

Showing some professional grade lab equipment called a rotovap along with associated vacuum pump and water chiller.


Let me know if i should examine anything else about the rotovap, should i run another test sample? 


As usual it's a rough cut and uses the computer voice for timing. But i will dub over with my Dr. Lithium voice once I'm satisfied with the results. 


The current script can be found here: 2023-03-30 17:39:22 +0000 UTC View Post

Final version

I hope to release this today or tomorrow. Let me know if there any glaring errors or big looming questions. There is still time to fix it :)

View Post

Patreon Preview - We explain why Aqua Regia has Hydrochloric and Nitric Acids by dissolving platinum with electricity

Rough version with computerized testing voice of an explanation video for how aqua regia works.

Should i title it "How Aqua Regia works" instead?

Anyway. This video is a little different from my usual fare as i'm explaining something rather than showing how to do something. So let me know what you think, if I need to clarify something etc. 

By all means be critical, i'm a little autistic (at least on the spectrum) and i realize that my perspective on things means i ofte...

Make a Nafion Divided Membrane Cell for Electrolysis

fully voiced and final version. i'll post this maybe tomorrow or the day after.

Let me know if there are any glaring errors. 

Is the voice okay? I had to buy a new microphone since the old one broke but this new one has some annoying audio errors too. I hope they aren't too noticeable. But if the clicks/cut outs are too annoying let me know. I'll hold back to get a better microphone.

As usual, being a preliminary edit, it uses the computer voice so i can adjust the timings. I'll dub in my own voice once the script is finalized.

Updates on my status 2021

Thank you for you extreme patience worthy of heroes and gods. I know my silence has been incredibly frustrating. 

First, i am completely fine both in health and finances. I didn't get covid as some have speculated and i'm well positioned financially. Probably better than i have ever been in years. So don't worry about that. Your offers for funding are extremely generous and appreciated, I am good. 

What's been keeping me down these past several months is a battle with se...

I plan to post on friday, so there is still time to fix any errors if you see them.

Thanks

Patreon Preview - Efficiently Recover Nitric acid from Copper Nitrate Wastes

A preview of a very rough video on efficiently recovering nitric acid from copper nitrate wastes.

For some strange reason the computer voice this time is extremely bad and misses timings as well as pronounces words wrong that i know for certain were working before. I'll probably stop using the website that makes this voice and use the microsoft synthesizer instead. Anyway, here is the script since the voice is sometimes incomprehensible

A preview for you consideration. A video about what gloves to use with nitric acid.

As usual, let me know what you think. Is it too short for a video? Anything i should add? Should i hold it and fold into another nitric acid video?
