Making the Pharaoh's Serpent

NileRed - 2014-03-24

Warning: This experiments requires the handling of dangerous and volatile chemicals. It must only be carried out in a fumehood or outdoors.

All chemicals must be disposed of properly. Everything will be contaminated with mercury/mercury salts. NOTHING CAN GO DOWN THE DRAIN OR IN THE GARBAGE. Only carry out this experiment if you can dispose of the chemicals and combustion products properly.

Every step of this synthesis deals with dangerous or toxic materials. Gloves, safety glasses and a lab coat are mandatory.

Here is a video to show you how volatile elemental mercury is. It lets off a lot of vapor and breathing this must be avoided.

Way too toxic of an experiment to mess with.

Jouska - 2019-05-12

I blame college for giving us literally carcinogenic and sterility inducing items to make stuff and still not this cool stuff

NEY Industries - 2020-01-25

Not too toxic.
Potassium thiocyanate's LD50 is 854 mg/kg – which means you'll have to eat a lot of it, 100 grams to die. You can even lick the lab spoon an you'll survive. :)
Mercury... Well, don't spill it at your home and you'll be OK.
The end product... Eeeeeh. Dilute it and dump over some forest by small portions. :)

Malala Lalala - 2020-03-06

@greenaum You don;t know that. Most history isn't recorded

greenaum - 2020-03-06

@Malala Lalala okay, "there is no evidence or reason to believe it pre-dates 18 something".

The same way we've no reason to suspect the jet liner pre-dates the 1950s.

Malala Lalala - 2020-03-06

@greenaum Not even close to the same

Yukorai - 2020-04-24

greenaum thats not a good comparison. One had so many recordings that it existed during and not before that time. While chemicals can be destroyed naturally over a lot of time. There was no proof of planes or any form of a plane existing before the Wrights created the first one, while for example “I” made this (just making up a date here) in 1689 in secret then disposed of the evidence or the evidence was slowly diluted and destroyed there would be no proof of it happening.
Any form of jet would still have the shell of a jet if it predates 1950s because metal doesn’t wear off as quickly

Sadrien - 2019-02-27

To summon Cthulu you must use 6 piles of sugar and baking soda arranged in a hexagon on top of sand drenched in lighter fluid instead of mercury.

Mew - 2015-12-21

"All chemicals must be disposed properly." I can imagine someone doing this and flushing it down the toilet. xD

gorillaau - 2019-02-23

If people were able to freely get the raw chemicals, I'm sure some people would do just that.

Alithia - 2016-12-12

For those less chemistry-inclined and with no access to mercury or proper disposal, something similar can be done with baking soda, sugar, and lighter fluid. No boiling or toxic gasses necessary.

Big Chooch - 2017-12-09

Alithia or even better, just use gasoline and a lit match. Be sure to lean in close, as the reaction is small.
