If they ever find Cody dead it's going to take a whole team of scientists to figure out what the hell he was doing.
@Oduunich Loftuer and the Methane gas generator
they will know because everyone is watching Cody :) beside... death will be afraid to come for him... to much dangerous surrounding stuff :D
@Matthew Piper youre such a fucking loser kid you tried really hard to sound sophisticated didnt you
Radium.
@David Lovšin there was an attempt
“As long as I keep it cool and go slow this should be a relatively simple task...”
Literally 2 seconds later
“So I just broke three of these flasks.”
I was laughing my ass off when that happened😂😂😂
3:51 we all know Cody’s no “Bob Ross” when it comes to art but that’s a cracking picture of two wizards casting spells at each other!
Epic :D
loool
Yes!
As Bob Ross once said “We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents and happy little clouds.. there!” :)
Now, I hope he meant drawing and not in his pants... lol
Wouldn't look out of place in the Voynich Manuscript.
And in this episode Cody violates the Geneva convention.
Cody became a war criminal!

Really makes me nostalgic for the old cody vids where his audio sounds like he made his microphone by hand out of mercury.
"As quiet as 5000 whispers."
hahahha
Most underrated comment ever😂
Cody is ambidextrous because his handwriting is equally atrocious with either hand lmao.
(Just teasing, love ya, Cody!)
It's amazing to me how a lot of highly intelligent people have astoundingly bad handwriting. lol
Adam Lacy
Maybe bad handwriting is a side effect of being a “science guy”.
I’m a Chemical Technology student, and my handwriting is pretty bad, IMHO.
What’s really weird is that most people actually like my handwriting. I don’t know how anyone can like my handwriting, but apparently a lot of people do for some reason unknown to me.
Maybe I’m just judging myself too harshly, but I guess the old saying is that we all are our own harshest critic...
I think the word you're looking for is ambisinister!
To be more accurate he is ambisinister.
@hyvää-elämää-98 like Bill Nye my guy
Hey Cody, since you have both caesium and gold lying around, you should try to make caesium auride. It would be a first on youtube.
Where can I buy this "Bletch"?
Ko
its called a brain fart guys chill lol
Ramog1000 He is mispronouncing bleach. I don't support trolling, it only pushes people apart, and if he is indeed trolling and not just grew up in a differing community, I don't support this behavior.
Sounded like he was going to be sick.
Bleigh! — Says the Dr. Acula.
(Totally not a vampire!)
oh my god, he made a concentrated solution of sodium chloride.... demonetized
Ocean man, take me by the hand lead me to the bletch
At least he doesn't live in the uk, they just made new laws and would go to prison for 2 to 5 years here now for making videos with anything corrosive or flammable in them, they will probably content block him here now 😔
Sharky SALT
And sodium chloride dissolved in highly corrosive hydric acid at that.
@Grant Rennie The UK is out of control.....
Try to collect this chlorine gas in a glass tube, liquify it with liquid nitrogen and heat seal the glass tube like you did in your previous video and that will be next level element collection...😎😮
underrated comment right there :D

I noticed that after you shut it down, the chlorine-producing flask seemed to turn milk-white. I suspect this is due to the chlorine gas reacting with the mercury itself, producing either HgCl2 or Hg2Cl2. This reaction can take place, as documented by Lin and Pehkonen (1998), whose paper is accessible if you google search "oxidation of mercury metal by aqueous chlorine". They document the stoichiometry and kinetics of this reaction, but I wonder if there's any way to prevent it from happening. A bit of cursory research has hinted that this might be a photosensitive reaction - I would experiment with running your chlorine machine (or at least the chlorine side of it) in a blacked-out flask, and see if you get this result.
As an aside, I'd be very careful if you try reacting the Cl2 with the H2 under UV light. This is a fairly exothermic reaction - if done incorrectly, an explosion absolutely could result. Just some friendly advice.
This processes was the former source of mercury contamination in disposable alkaline batteries....... Now they use ion exchange membranes instead....
Sorry i only get off brand BLECH
if bleach bleaches, maybe when something gets submerged in bletch it gets blaught ?
Underrated comment.

Hello Cody, Have you considered building a membrane electrodialysis device (could be used for other chemicals)?
I got a contact in china that can sell small amounts of anionic or cationic membranes (very difficult to find, took me ages), let me know if you are interested.
Thumb up so he can see it.
Pretty sure you can accomplish the same with a divided cell with Ceramics in between. You run it in reverse for starters and swap the fluids, this puts Ions inside of the ceramic and causes it to act as a bridge for the current.
Doing what he is accomplishing above can be done with ease using a Divided cell. I generally use them to make various Oxidizers.
Finished drawing looks likes wizard casting a spell on another wizard.
This is my new favorite YouTube comment. Thank you good sir

I love your channel and it has inspired me to start perusing chemistry as a occupation and hobby.
Can you explain that pump a bit more clearly? It's brilliant.
As current flows through mercury, it becomes magnetic and repels away from the magnet at the "pump". He demonstrated this with mercury motor videos where he shoves a battery with a magnet on each terminal in a tub of mercury, and with a cable running around in mercury.
Alucard Pawpad - thank you
You can search for his older videos where he's done this a few times.

0:21 So I've heard Cody say "Blech" instead of "Bleach" before too. Is that a regionalism or a joke? Does anyone ever actually say it that way?
A joke, not a regionalism. He has emphatically answered this common question in a comment on this very vid:
"Cody'sBLab

Bletch: Intentional mispronunciation of bleach in order to boost comment numbers. ;)"
(Cody'sBLab btw is his alternate channel persona; It is Cody.)
Micah Philson Oh thank you, I was wondering, thought maybe he was avoiding setting off some sort of YouTube algorithm.
he is saying "luminum" as well =D
And acrosst
whats the intro music?
You shouldn't need to worry about oxygen being generated when using a platinum electrode. While the theoretical voltage needed to generate oxygen (1.23 volts) is lower than that of chlorine (1.36 volts), on a platinum surface the evolution of oxygen is actually around 0.95 volts more than is thermodynamically required, compared to about 0.10 volts more for chlorine. This makes the overall potential required for generating chlorine 1.46 volts, and makes oxygen's 2.18 volts. Along with the fact that there are a LOT of chloride ions in solution to react with, this should mean that chlorine will be favoured for the anode reaction by a large margin. Unless you run the cell at a crazily high current density, or let the concentration of the chloride ion drop very low, there should be virtually no oxygen generated from the cell.
And of course, my AP chem teacher just explained this as "chlorine generates instead of oxygen because EXCEPTION."
I think his big battery charger easily gets too much amperes, so it's easy to assume this will produce some oxygen, but it's not important.
octet33, the plague of "education". Anyone that tries to actually get smart is culled.
The jumper pack applies roughly 12 volts with virtually unlimited current to the platinum, so I believe quite a bit of oxygen would indeed form.
Based on the amount of gas he's generating, the battery charger probably runs the cell at around 10 amps, which shouldn't really be enough to generate any large fraction of oxygen, especially from the fact that he's also running it with a saturated solution of NaCl. As long as his use for the chlorine doesn't require exceptional purity from oxygen, it shouldn't be a problem even at these high currents. A much bigger worry from using the charger would be the hydrogen generated with the chlorine when using the jumper pack, as the mixture of H2 and Cl2 can spontaneously ignite on exposure to UV and sunlight, also the inefficiency of higher voltages would heat up the cell quickly. It is still much more efficient to use the lower voltage power supply, though it shouldn't be from the concern of generating oxygen.
"Maybe I'll just invent my own kind of pump" ... That reminds me: how's going the fusion reactor? XDXD (it was fusion and not fission, I think... because I remember it being the more crazy of the 2 to announce calmly)
Building a fusion reactor is not that hard. A fusor will cost a few thousand dollars and it takes some skills and precautions but it is accessible to hobbyists. Also note that while real nuclear fusion will happen, the energy produced will be very low and such a design cannot be used to power anything. It can be used as a neutron source though.
And while a fission reactor is super simple in theory (just put a bunch a fissile material in a box), there is no way you are getting enough of that fissile material. We are talking like tons of natural uranium. It can be made smaller by using weapons grade uranium, about the amount that was in the Hiroshima bomb, but with the issue that if you have that, getting them into 2 pieces and smashing them together is all it takes to make an Hiroshima explosion.
" such a design cannot be used to power anything" you clearly haven't seen our design. ;)
Oh, whow! I will take that as my progress update!
Such a tease, Cody : l
@Cody'sLab None of them so far to date can really be used to power anything,... But, if anyone's going to pass the break even mark I pray its you in your garage because people like us playing with chemicals in our garage do not get the respect they deserve lol, instead they generally get raided.
What kind of Fusion are we talking? Fusor I am assuming or something else?
This is the same process that the Clorox company once used to make their bletch
He has mentioned that he purposefully trained himself to write with both hands for various reasons
He's probably just preparing for the off chance that some experiment blows one of his arms off. He can probably write with his feet as well. JUST in case.
shartnita zodkeesian
Probably so! Lol.
Shart....nita, hehe
Everyone loves a good ol’ bottle of bletch
I didn’t know that. I hope they don’t put out lot of that in our enviroment.
5:48
"as long as I keep it cool and go slow this should be relatively a simple task"
immediatly afterwards
"so I just broke 3 of these flasks"
such a comedic cut lmao
Bletch, is that a Utah thing or what? 😂
Most people think it's "bletch", some think "blech", and a minority think "blehch"; but we all know it's "bhlhehtchh"
seven of the e's are silent.
Do it’s actually, beheleheehetececehehe
Is there a specific reason he says blech instead of bleach?
To get people to comment more.
Cody'sLab sneaky lol
Cody'sLab noice ;D
"Blehtch" - Now I can't say "Blee-ch" any longer. Thanks Cody!!
"Should be a relatively simple task", literally three seconds later, "so I just broke three of these new plan"
Glad to see you on Everyday Astronaut's livestream :)
"i can already smell the chlorine so Im just going to plug in my ventilation fan"
jet engine starts
I was looking at this video in the feed and wondering: "Is he going to use a mercury electrolysis cell?"
It's Cody. So of course he did.
5:48 "As long as I keep it cool and go slow, this should be a simple task" ... "so I just broke three of these flasks"
comedic timing A+
Cody, put your fume hood fan motor OUTSIDE while keeping the air suction in the hood to REDUCE FAN NOISE
please
Quit yer bitchin
What's the point of the mercury and the pump, why not just use a Hofmann apparatus?
Because Cody! 😁
You must br new here! 😁
Before watching video. "Ok cody what ridiculously dangerous thing are you going to do today."
shiroikin I know. I don't know if I like watching more to see his method or his madness. 😯 or 😳
Why not both?
"whatever I FEEL like. . ." Then cody turns away in disgust.
"Oh, Cody is doing something i did when I was a teen, I wonder if he'll have any interesting differences to my setup"
one minute in, we have a liquid mercury instead of my plastic tubing ion bridge and a platinum electrode, 15 year old me, outclassed
edit after finishing the vid,
I did alright
"as long as I keep it cool and go slow, it should be a relatively simple task"
5 seconds later
"So I just broke 3 flasks"
9:20 "Looks positively GhAStly..."
HA! Nice one, Cody!
2:16 You essentially drew two wizards with connected feet.. fighting for their independence..
"I'm sure I've got enough to rig something." Cody at his finest.
"This should work"
Drills into glass with biggest drillhead available
"So I just broke 3 of these flasks"
That was totally foreseeable
"So as long as I keep it cool and go slow this should be a relatively simple task"
...
"So I just broke three of these flasks"
Try to use the chlorine/oxygen mixture as an oxidizer for rocket motor.
When Cody says something is a bit concerning.........run.
S Harris Fast and far
... I'm just gonna shut this down. Now
Yeah my anxiety went to about an 11 out of 10 when he said that lol
"I want a nice steady source of chlorine"
