Where are you from? Your accent is interesting. You say “Er” instead of saying “Or”.

So I'm using one of these I made myself from clay to weld copper with solder. It's fuelled by olive oil. I gotta ask, how on earth do you get it to NOT deposite soot??? Different fuel, different nozzle size? Every nozzle I've tried ends up depositing soot, which of course is messing with the solder. Any tips for a newbie?

Wonderful. This video was so appreciated!

Does this work I'm making charms to help my pharoah pass into the afterlife but all our clay is riverside in bad and I do not wish to anger rah

Fraser, re Experiment #89: next time you read 'boil' this with that in an old document, boil in a distillation flask and condense all the vapours that evolve. Its possible that the thing you boiled away was actually the part they wanted you to keep, and the purpose of the whole exercise.

There need to be more movies or media about alchemy. I imagine meeting a "real" alchemist back in the day must have been extraordinarily frightening and almost Faustian - as depicted in "A Field In England"

Merci !

What a beauty

Okay I get annoyed by british people not pronouncing T's in their speech so I'm sure I'm the minority but it sounds like youre doing a prank when you pronounce every OR sound like ER. Mer when saying More is a good example that literally sounds like youre just trolling. If you're from somewhere where people just talk like that please let me know cause I've never heard anyone talk like that. 22:24 just made me almost have a brain aneurism

i don't rly wanna watch the whole video did he make gold or not?

I put notifications on, great videos.

I wish this video had been around in the last century when I was trying to understand redox reactions!

Hello. Why did you put the silver on a piece of charcoal? Is there a chemical reason or is it just to hold the piece of silver? What about putting the wicks in a row? Thanks!

Coolest content on yt rn.

I will probably copy this. This is very cool to have in LARP.

Great vid, friend. I am pretty sure the way they did it in the old days was to have servants to pump the required air for you, and fan you and feed you grapes so as to keep up your strength. Short of that, check out NOBOX7 channels' compressor/LPG "Jet Engine on a stick MICRO TORCH" video that he shared in April 2024. He is a very clever burner inventor. It would do glass for sure and very adjustable. I known you like to make with Hand tools and Man Powered ye olde things but this is not far off being only 300 years newer. Point is you don't need to buy an oxygen bottle with his design. The only thing is that air compressors are so noisy. I reckon the thing to try which is about as quiet as small children pumping the bellows for you is a septic tank pump. Even low end models move 80 litres of air per minute for 65 watts, run a silent 35 dB, and cost a couple of hundred new. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Sounds about as useful as learning astrology. I'll stick with chemistry and astronomy.

Please do not blow directly into glass, always always use a silicone hose so that you can blow while heating without the glass near your eyes

I thought you were going to say tnt from the nitric acid in the air and paper. And you did as Flash paper. Classic chemistry. Great video.

The correct term is AD, not ce. CE is just anti-Christian rhetoric.

😊 great job. More of this please 😃

Are you planning on making more automata?

you should make a old lathe, the simplest you can

you arranged the nozeles horizontally.. did you consider a vertical arrangment?

I absolutely have to know how that blowtorch works that is so frickin cool!

I rather enjoy your cadence quite a bit.

Great video, incredibly informative, and you show the entire process step by step. I think I'll make my own little blow lamp!

Did u burn your hand?

i watched this video while incredibly high, and it was the best video i've ever watched

The wick was too thick or maybe try adjusting the height of the pipes too high doesn't work too low doesn't work also but I find the best flame by adjusting the blowing pipe hitting flame at about the middle and angled idk exactly degree id say it it's like 15° to 20° degrees upwards ::) also I seen when you had attempted to use the 3 pipes at the same time the degree of the angle was blowing the flame around I bet you just need to adjust them individually start with the Middle then adjust the pipes on your left and right in order to focus the air idk how else to explain it with drawing a picture lol hopefully I can use emojis ↗️👆↖️ anyways the pipes need to be adjusted put a piece of tape over the left and right pipes then adjust the middle the left and the the right or the right and then the left either way you want to just find the right balanced for each side and it should most definitely work it's easier to focus 1 stream of air to but forgot to adjust the sides so that way each stream of air complement each other lol you doing some awesome stuff and I enjoy your videos so thank you keep up the great work

Perhaps I missed it in the video, but how does one prevent the charcoal dropping out the bottom through that large hole?

Awesome work! Good job…

Kids these days with their damn wax tablets. Back in my day we chiseled words in solid granite like real men

This video sorta reminds me of the Clickspring channel, you've now got another subscriber!

Damn imagine writing embarrassing fanfiction in one of those and erasing it just for some historian "decode" it centuries later 💀

Woaahhh so the higgs boson was the goal of alchemists in a way

have you tried natural starches from wild clay> Cattail starch might be interesting

Show the recipe is sulfur quick lime and Lent how do you how do you say the last ingredient

The God of the Bible will destroy you if you don’t repent.

How hot did the flame come to in the end? Been thinking about building a blowtorch for melting a small amount of silver, and this video appeared hopeful for such endeavours.

There is a Taschen book called "Alchemy & Mysticism" by Alexander Roob which contains hundreds/thousands of alchemical recipes (though some might need translating from their symbolism) if you're interested.

Awesome.

you just need gold bro

damn no wonder alchemist tried to make gold out of piss and silver

Stuff like this is extremely useful. Now the biggest question I have is how to make an underground fire pit using dirt, clay, rocks, and some fairly sizable sticks. Any ideas on that? I'm curious about what you would come up with.
