What happens if you add brax to this now until it starts to become saturated will it hurt anything ?

thats very cool, I can see why it would be awful to set up right though...I wonder who thought these up originally...thats quite a thought process lol

I didnt know you could make water glass so easily never mind your own fire brick so this is way cool and going to save me a huge amount of money ...thanks for sharing.

thanks

Do they have to be so thick?

Whats that high low switch?

Nicely done. I would think thinner cooling fins with a larger circumference may help keep it cooler.

I love that beautiful green color. I extract medicinal mushrooms, like Reishi, Chaga, etc. But I’ve had a problem with my last batch not operating correctly. I tried to do a water extraction. And think I added too much water 😢

What happens if I add too much solvent to the flask? Also can water be used to do a simple water extraction? Thank you

@nilamotk - thank you for a detailed video, Loved it. The bag of sand you used, how many Kg's was it? I wish to make sufficient glue to make your bricks for a 44 gallon drum and need to calculate how much of the silica gel and hydroxide I need to accomplish this.

Great video even after so many years - Thanks! The formula you have here is really good. By the way, as you probably know by now, the Hi-Temp compound is actually a mixture of only Sodium Silicate "waterglass" (maybe 1/3, so still uses the CO2 for initial cure) and Kaolin Clay.

So I'm making a pizza oven, and need a span of 24 inches. I used a big hunk of granite before and it worked for about 6 fires until it didn't work anymore. If I put stainless wire in it, do you think if I made a 24"×24" square it could hold up ok?

Brilliant job, thank you for sharing your work with us.

Ta wung it!

Have you ever tried adding a little bit of pearlite to your mix?

Great video 👍 Just watched your other video and to increase the strength of your geopolymer blocks you need to use clay instead of sand, mixed with the sodium silicate. That’s what geopolymer concrete is usually made from, clay(aluminum silicate) and sodium silicate.

How's it holding up after so many years any changes after this video? Thanks

"These mantles go anywhere from about $50 to $150" Where the fk does this guy live?? "Published 9 years ago" Oh that makes sense then. Sad what the economy is nowadays. You basically have to be a chemist or a drug dealer to get into amateur chemistry now

I'm curious if you could try a piston ring made from PEEK or Teflon. The type used in automatic transmissions. I'd scarf cut one and try it. I feel you could actually reduce drag between the piston and cylinder. It wouldn't exert force between the piston and cylinder the way traditional rings do. If it could handle the heat which I think if designed at the lower skirt of the piston where heat is lower they would last a long time.

4:42 your video was about to end right there lol

This is amazing! Never knew you can make refractorary brick this way. Thank you so much! I definitely will try this myself. Do you have any links with more background information please?

Any tips to make it more flowable like a slurry

Can you use a light dimmer for 120v ?

Hi friend, how did you remove the faceplate and opened the face of this? I can’t to do this 😢

I guess I don't understand how you got the wire into the plaster; did you layer it in there or what?

Really AWESOME JOB!! but your flywheels are too heavy. That's why it runs slow. Bit who cares. Your made it work!! You are a engine maker and builder. Great job Sir!

Excellent video! Kudos to you for actually giving the appropriate ratio of sodium hydroxide : silica. Others out there are using ratios that won't produce the silica concentration needed for foundry use. I'm very curious about use of an external heat source. Obviously, you didn't need it, but others say it's necessary to dissolve the silica. Some made water glass that was dark amber, not clear. I want to make clear water glass to make fire bricks, crucibles, and such. I also want to tint the water glass with pigments to add color to certain things. Do you have any idea why the water glass might turn dark? I was planning on crushing the silica beads. Do you think that would help it dissolve?

Water jacket,something small ,decorative even .

"scratch build".. give us a chance broh, that pretty pro build ;)

How come you're not posting any videos anymore?

I didn't think you were supposed to use glass when making sodium silicate since sodium hydroxide can destroy glass when heated

...GENIUS!!! TY

Does anyone know how the zeroing screw works? Like when you turn that screw what does it actuate?

Hey guy! You're a natural, get back to making videos. Everything's on point, thanks for saving me lots of time.

Fuck yeah I'm gonna use one of these to make CO2 for my aquarium

Thek yu

Maybe not as heavy as this one, but can order a fairly nice one for around a hundred bucks..

Best Kipp's Apparatus, video . Thanks !

Can I use the sodium silicate as a binder for charcoal powder

I would use an air cooled condenser first and then a water cooled one to decrease the stress on the glass. And you are right, if the glass breaks you would have mercury vapour everywhere, a nightmare cleanup even if you use a mask. At least you have a hood making it less dangerous if an accident happen.

Thanks, the video was very explanatory.

Are you working with acids and bases? I would be concerned with the stainless walls. How has it held up?

Pretty cool, I wish I had a lathe to do this stuff (along with glassblowing stuff). Might make one some day. I guess it was a bit hard to do as you has to trial and error everything until it runs properly.

Брат скажи пожалуйста какой ход поршня и диаметр?

Бро, скажи пожалуйста, какой ход поршня и диаметр?

8 years later watching this, damn I was a crazy sob... lol this was actually incredibly stupid and dangerous running a water cooled condenser durring this distillation. I'm quite surprised the glass didn't break.. again, this is for entertainment and I do not recommend you try to recreate it.

So I'm not sure if you'll ever see this message but 🤷‍♂️, just cuz you might never read it doesn't mean it's not worth saying. Just wanted to say I'm glad I found your channel. You have some of the most helpful, informative, and interesting content on CZcams. I'm proud to say I'm subscribed, just incase you decide to upload again 😁

How hot do they get?

I only wear gloves when I'm jerk'n off in front of the gas station in my minivan bruh!

How do you fill it with propane? Did you use a propane torch tank to fuel it?
