More important, Prussian blue was also used by Bob Ross
Your thinking of Phahlo Blue .
@@OldSkoolF Nope, Prussian blue was, in fact, one of the colours Bob Ross used multiple times. Phthalo blue was also one, but he did use both. In case you're not convinced, in S21E10 of his series "The Joy of Painting", he does use Prussian blue.

Working with cyanide on a small scale is doable for amateur chemists. But the synthesis of cyanide often involves HCN...many chemists accidentally gassed themselves with it.
I've used cyanide and I used to have either some indicatoror a pH probe (depending on how fancy the lab I was working at was) and quite a bit of sodium hydroxide set up above it in order to stop the reaction going acidic, because if that happens, I'd get HCN and probably die
@@cockatoo010 I want to make cyanide in my garage almost no equipment can that work (I have 0 worries about safety at all)
Where can I get cynide
@@williamsorensen3958u dead yet?
Prussian blue is Also utilized to check for planarity of mechanical pieces.
You put a couple of mls of motor oil on the comparison plane (which u know is flat), then u take a piece of paper or fabric, dip said cloth in the pigment, spread the pigment and motor oil on the comparison plane, grab the Component that u need to check, put it flat against the plane and move it around just a bit to get the pigment to Stick onto the surface.
Where it's blue you know it's flat, where It isn't you know that u have a depression.
Or as another example, IT Can Also be utilized to check if you got the correct shimming for coupling crown and pinion of a gearbox (diff). (I've done so just a month Ago, old Fiat Stil runs, lol)

Man, Cody, I love your channel so much. Small things like your general sense of humor, your dedication to ideas like saving cherry pits, and the cut to you showing the Prussian Blue in daylight are endearing qualities that I really appreciate. Even when the content isn’t exactly applicable to my life (lol), it’s educational and entertaining nonetheless.
Good stuff, dude!
Cody: Even then you probably shouldn’t do it.
Me: Awe Cody really cares about our safety
Cody 1 sec later: Far better ways to get cyanide.
💀💀💀💀😂
😂🤣😂🤣 That had me rolling too!
I don't know about you, but I don't have a year's worth of cherry pits saved up. I'm not particularly fond of cherries due to the pit, either. (Yeah, no cyanide for me.)
Deadass
@@ganaraminukshuk0I love them, but I have a habit of accidentally biting the pit in half.
Cody I’m still confused as to why this video isn’t monetized.
Yup, i definitely absolutely am too.
Youtube hates science and history channels
production of hazardous materials
He made a deadly poison from household items, with easily accessible equipment, using a process that you or I could follow.
@@FluffyCarpenterBee I'm pretty sure he left a couple steps out, and/or didn't explain it enough. Most of this equipment isn't exactly readily available, although I guess anything is on the internet. My point is, you'd already either have to know what you're doing, or do more research, making this video useless.
I get your point though, and you're not wrong. I still don't see the problem though, but that's an issue with YouTube's system in general.
“Even then you shouldn’t do it. There a far better ways to get cyanide” 😂😂😂😂 this is the YouTube I like
Next Video: "Recovering the Gold" Cody drinks the solution and $hits out a gold bar. Don't change that channel folks. You DON"T want to miss this episode. Thanks for the very informative videos Cody. You know the drill....Stay awesome.
he will die then from gold cyanide
Cody is a Lannister now,he $hits gold.
That would think the more likely scenario would be that since the smell makes you sneeze he probably start sneezing out gold into the tissues he would blow his nose on.
If he did this onto a canvas it would make for interesting artwork....
The randomness of these techniques rivals a Vsauce video.

Still not even par with nile red's "extracting lidocaine from anal lube", in which he bought a massive bottle of anal lube, then went back to buy another one next day.
@@asammar4835 Yup! I think I actually pissed myself laughing watching that part!
@@asammar4835 XD and eating dna
Organic chem (or maybe even chem in general) takes you down a dark road filled with questionable purchases and disregarding any instructions that came with said purchases. Hopefully, I don't have to explain the normal implifications of purchasing two bottles of anal lube, but NileRed also bought a whole bunch of Pepto-Bismol, and the implifications of such a purpose was (and I'm paraphrasing) "you'd just feel bad for someone purchasing that much Pepto-Bismol".

Love ur channel
Love the clap cuts 😂, Keep it up. Also could you try and take out cyanide from blueprints. It's pretty concentrated.
Edit. Just finished watching and saw you mentioned it 😂.
Seems he's been watching This Old Tony....
I thought your profile pic was a hair on my screen and i tried to scrub it of. Well done sir you have my admiration
@@TheCardiffMafia it happens to the best of us
Are people still getting tripped up by the ol' hair on the screen routine?
@@Shaun.Stephens This old Tony rocks. Also Frank Howarth has a similar style for some on his videos.
I'll always appreciate that he puts the chemical reactions in clear text on the screen, even if I lost the knowledge on how to read them after high school organic chem.
Maybe someday i'll understand what they mean again.
Just nit picking here. Though apples also have cyanogenic glycosides in them (Amygdalin) they are pome fruits not stone fruits.
Well I never claimed to be a botanist.
Never heard of a “pome” fruit. That’s cool.
Pomme is just Apple in France tho.
Potato is "pomme du terre" Yeah a "pome fruit".
Of course apples are pomme. Its just the French word
He never said other types didnt have it

Don't walk by cody's house when he's sciencing, might get a waft of what he's cookin. Thinking of that you might want to check your front sidewalk you might have a pile of dead neighbors that were walking their dog at the wrong time, just a thought lol.
And gimme some more of that cyanide.
sciencing.....👍
He probably does this on his ranch
His closest neighbor is like 2 miles away.
well he is making cyanide
The question is can you resolidify gold using pistachios. 😁

@@theCodyReeder: Is that a mobile app thing? Because on desktop, if I click on subscriptions it shows me unmonetized videos. That said, I just noticed that I'm not subscribed to your channel, probably because I never got around to it, but I see your vids in my recommendations.
@@theCodyReeder I see what you did there....
Not use the word cyanide anywhere in title and description.
I have it on my sub page on mobile.
@@theCodyReeder Did they punish you for this? Like a strike or something?
sou you should not do it, EXCEPT if you are NileRed
Man, NileRed is pretty cool! 🍄
Ah yes, good old Nile "I didn't think that would be a problem" Red...
His yield would not be what he wanted though, so he will have to refilter it and wash it with some more refined something, but the result will be even less, yet purer hence even more deadly to mere mortals.
@@parishna4882 Isopropyl alcohol.....
@@parishna4882 This comment made my day.^^
Cody is a blessing. I know nothing about chemistry but something about him is so interesting that I keep watching even if he is speaking gibberish to me.
Wow, I haven’t watched Cody in a while and the production quality has really improved! Great stuff
I think I remember reading that there’s enough cyanide to kill you in just two ground cherry stones. But I might have made that memory up.
This is one of those things that is technically true but in practice wouldn’t work. The reaction is too slow and your body could process it just as fast as the cyanide was produced, so you would need maybe 100x more to actually be lethal.
Yeah no I've eaten more than that in a day they are surprisingly tasty.
Cody'sLab ha ha! I did think that given the number of cherries eaten each year there’d have been some kind of health scare by now if it was a real issue. Still, if you ate 200 cherry stones I think the cyanide might not be top of your list of problems 😂
I love when Cody says "the ONLY ISSUE I RAN INTO". The behind the sceenes bloopers are the birds dropping from the sky above his place. Lol. Love your content Cody
Man, the extraterrestrials going through our internet must be shitting bricks knowing that we eat foods containing deadly toxins and then walk it off like it was nothing...
I initially thought you were a wizard at chemistry, but after seeing how you transferred the materials into the reaction vessel, I see that you're an actual wizard.
Most seeds in the family Rosaceae, mainly from the genus malus (Apples), pyrus (Pears) and prunus (Cherries, almonds, etc.) among others. Sweet almonds and sweet apricots still have the amygdalin. You'd have to eat several bushels of almonds and a little less than that in sweet aps. The seeds aren't anywhere near as bad in Rubus (Raspberry, blackberry, thimbleberry, boysenberry, etc) and Fragaria (Strawberry). Yes, all of the fruits listed are related albeit somewhat distantly, in the rose family.
There's still something really really funny about Cody of all people telling you not to try it at home, it's either really ironic or it means you really shouldn't try it at home cuz Cody is crazy and Cody almost always tries it at home.
The edits on this video were a very nice added touch!
Only Cody would have hydrochloric acid in a spray bottle hanging around the house. Great video!!!
My step-dad does too (muriatic acid) for use in tile and stone work...
@@diamondflaw oh okay to color or stain different shades.
There is a huge pile of cherry pits that's been sitting around near the Juab county dump for years now, probably leaching a bunch of cyanide into the ground. Anyway, instead of saving your own pits, you could have probably just picked up a couple of bucketsful in Nephi.
Next up...Distilling Platinum with Unicorn Horns!
Please, he'd never stoop to fantasy. He'd just isolate plutonium from some spare mercury ore he dug up himself and use that to dissolve it!

I really like the edits in this video. The snaps and claps transitions are pretty entertaining.
Best comparison of physical comparison vs chemical comparison. I honestly thought the secondary container would have a purer CN content but the primary was stronger. Thanks Cody!
