Had me hooked on your channel after seeing the silver crystals , but it's amazing to see the refining process and to watch the precipitation process is still awesome to watch. Wish had a teacher that taught like you do when I was in school
No, when I first started I searched and searched for information about refining. There was nothing. I found CZcams videos that had bits and pieces, leaving out critical details, then direct you to a site for a fee. Most refiners would rather take their secrets to the grave than share them with the masses. I just exploited this to build a channel.
It amazes me how FAST it cools from molten 1000C to being able to handle it in around 1-2mins later (yeah i know there was a cut but you see srees other pours with no cuts)
Cause the mass is small.....if it was a giant hunk of metal the size of a Hyundai,it's gonna take way longer to cool.theres only so much energy u can hold in a tiny mass. After all u don't expect an iceberg to melt as fast as an ice cube do u?
Good is one if the most conductive naturally occurring elements! This combined with its relatively low heat capacity (specific heat, coming at 0.129 J/gC°, for perspective water comes in at 4.184 J/gC°) means that it can bleed off alot of energy while storing very little.

What a pretty bar . I just started pouring silver and learning alot. Made some nice bars myself but so much more to learn. That is a hell of a bar sir !!

I wish I had a science teacher like you in my highschool I would have been so much more better with the sciences.

Greetings Mr Streetips ... I live in India (Gujarat). I subscribed to your account yesterday! I had no idea how much 999 pure you could harvest from the Pentium pro chips I saw you do (thank you/shukriya). The Pentium Pro also had two separate chips inside so this doubled the amount of solid gold wire bonding that is usually found in a single chip CPU like the Intel 386 and 486 chips. Gold refining yields of the Pentium Pro have been reported to be as high as around 0.33 grams per CPU. These Pentium pro chips are Rs 1 each from a dealer here in Gujarat so I can get 1000 for $13.45 You will get 330 grams/11.78 oz of gold from 1000 processors. That is approx $20,664 or 15.5 lakh rupees at today's gold spot price of $66 per gram Rs 4889. So the math is clear if I was to process 100,000 of the pro series CPU's from Pentium over a period of 6 months. Here the cost of laboratory-grade acid is next to nothing ... Liquid Nitric Acid Rs 24 /Litre ($0.15) Hydrochloric Acid Rs 8 /Litre ($0.11) Sulfuric Acid, Grade Standard: Reagent, for Industrial Use, Rs 35 /Litre ($0.47) Liquid Bleach Sodium Hypochlorite Rs 11.50/ Litre ($0.16). It is worth investing in the butane and oxygen-acetylene torches/a fume hood (all of this can be purchased second hand) and some pyrex lab equipment with a magnetic mixing bar and some electric hobs for the nitric cooks (essentially everything I have seen you use). I have watched approx 11 hours of your content so far and I was also pleasantly surprised to see how much silver you pull out of the waste with the silver cell. I have always heard that harvesting metals from scrap electronics yield so little that it is not worth your time ... but this is clearly not the case when you know what you are doing and follow the methodology exactly! The only consumables are the acid and the gas for the torches ... everything else is multiple uses. I also see that getting to know all the local jewellers (for their scrap/waste) can yield some very satisfying harvest days. I saw you pull out a very respectable yield from 1.2 kg of scrap gold filled jewellery (that most would think to be junk). Even the scrap dust from the jeweller's table is worth a dumpster dive! This is *a black art* that is clearly not very well understood or appreciated in our modern culture. I have been studying gold and silver prices for over 18 years so I am very aware that the COMEX and LBMA mickey mouse scheme to keep the price surprised with the futures contract market is a Ponzi scheme that will collapse in the very near future. And for every kg of gold in the futures contract market, there are multiple people who think they own that physical delivery ... I have heard numbers as high as 7/8 people who all have a claim to each kg that is actually available in physical metal (the same goes for silver). In 2009 I was getting 1 kg (35.71 oz) of Silver for Rs 22,165 / $298.11 / $8.47 per oz which is so low it is not even funny! So as we both know ... harvesting metal from scrap is viable today when you know what you are doing but when the price of gold goes up to $8/10,000 per oz (and it will) and the price of silver hits $3/400 per oz (and it will) due to the increase of silver use in solar panels and the technology involved in electric vehicles putting demand on physical supply that can not be met ... the laws of supply and demand will not be ignored in the world outside of the COMEX or LBMA. Russia/China and India will set the spot price and New York and the city of London will be forced into compliance. When Russia/China and India have syphoned off all the available bullion at these mickey mouse prices and there is nothing more to be gained from the current status quo ... *expect an avalanche to happen!* At that point, you will need to have all the scrap you could allocate and I am including all gold fingers from any scrap PC and all the old cell phones you can find ... because then the lower yields you get from these smaller amounts of gold per unit *WILL BE WELL WORTH A DUMPSTER DIVE!* Keep up the great work Mr Streetips because I have not seen more viable content on this wasteland that we call CZcams in over a decade *my good man!*
What a nice chunky BEAUTIFUL little gold loaf!! (technically not so "little" haha) Anyways, great stuff right there man!! It's fantastic watching you work your magic!!!!
Awesome bar!! 💰 Every time I see you dropping a bar from the mold to the bowl of water I think: he could put something inside the bowl to "cushion" the bar's impact. Don't that drop sometimes damage bars?
Not that I’ve noticed. I used to do silver bars several at a time. Every now and then I’d drop a bar in and hit one already in the water and put a little mark on it. But it’s not noticeable.
Man that is cool! When the bar starts to go from orange to gold is undescribable...just wondering why you dont have a 9999 fine stamp on the bar? Wouldnt that be more official?
New subscriber 😁 dalm I love gold and silver and metals.. very cool video nice 🥈🥇🥈🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 specially when they melt it all and make something awesome with it
Looks like a real tasty loaf of gold. I had fun teaching students how this was done many years ago. Real good job Sreetips. I do have a question and maybe you covered it back there somewhere; But have you ever tried pressing your bars and then annealing them?
@@sreetips It makes a flawless bar. You can useyour gold "sponge" or powder. The place i worked for made a mold with there name engraved/purity oz(s). Different size molds for different size bars. 10,000 psi. and a press.
That was a perfect pour. Congrats!

I love the patterns on top of the bars that you always make. Beautiful bar!
great pour! that second torch you added over the mold really improves the bars' finish!
Best pour ever !
That little muffin loaf of gold looked perfect.
Absolutely amazing pour! Nothing like a big chunk of gold in the palm of ones hand!
What a pretty bar . I just started pouring silver and learning alot. Made some nice bars myself but so much more to learn. That is a hell of a bar sir !!
I've rewatched that pour about 30 times! Great work!
One of your best melts and pour the bar turned out beautiful

another great video! so relaxing watching your melts and silver crystal videos before i hit the rack
I’ve got the mid watch - on the couch
I will have that much gold and Platinum one day. E-waste stacking baby! Thanks chief you are the best!
Awesome job Kevin! My eyes lit up when I seen that beautiful bar!
Thank you for sharing this with me absolutely beautiful memorizing.
Awesome works! Thanks for sharing this perfect pour!
Awesome. Just beautiful. The camera doesn't do it justice. That dense solid weight in the palm of the hand is extraordinary. Cool stuff Sreetips...
Nice looking bar of gold! And thank you for the videos!
That bar looks great! Thank you for sharing.
You sir, are 100% beast mode. Just... wow. Love this bar.
This is the best bar that I have seen made without machinery doing the process
That is a beautiful bar of gold!
Wow, you've gotten really good at pouring those gold bars. That looks amazing!
A midnight upload? Of course the night I fell asleep early lol. Great video like always Kevin! That's got to be my favorite pour yet.

Your the best science teacher in the world because you are teaching us all the reality of what "chem" meant
THANK you.
Muy buenos videos maestro soy joyero saludos desde encarnación frontera Paraguay
Beautiful process to watch and stellar results on the bar, thanks for sharing.
The beauty of this world concentrated in one piece of metal.
The "thud" that bar made in the water bowl was such a beautiful sound.
Gold is so dense it always makes a thud no matter how carefully you put it down. Wonderful.
Yes, that thud sound is oddly satisfying indeed👍🏾
The colour of that gold is beautiful!
Wow, what a beautiful pour!
Wow that’s a gorgeous piece of art
Wow!! That bar is awesome!! Really, really good!!
Great pour and fantastic looking bar. 👍👍👍
Beautiful pour love that style of chunky bars.
This is my first time watching your channel, thanks so much for sharing you've got me hooked now.
Welcome!
OMG What a beautiful bar thanks for sharing..
some mesmerizing photos
love this channel
Nothing feels better in the hand than a chunky bar of silver or gold. That's real money
That is as about as perfect of a pour as can be done!
I agree. There’s nothing quite like holding 24k in your hand. Beautiful feeling hard to explain.
That is really nice bar thx 😀 for sharing great 👍 video, enjoyed every bit of it
Awesome bar.looks really great.well done 👍👍👏👏👍👏
Love watching it freeze! Wish I had a Sreetips bar of my own!
So beautiful, I’m in love. Great work brother. 👍🏼
Beautiful bar! I wish I'm half good at pouring... 😄
Wow! Just amazing! Cheers.
how perfect! love it one day i can do this too thank you for sharing it all!
Always nice to see a load of gold!
Beautiful little gold brick 🤩
Wow what a beautiful gold bar nice one mate.
That looks awesome!
Very nice melt and pour
Beautiful gold bar thanks for sharing
I realized yesterday that it was SREEtips, not STREEtips. I was like ok, OG gold slinger showing us the ropes lol 😆
what a beautiful bar....
Beautifully done! I'm curious though, why are you selling right now? I heard that spot price for gold recently dropped. Maybe I heard wrong?
That's a really nice bar.
Totally worth the melt ty bud
Awesome thanks for sharing looks amazing
Very nice I would like to put a wedding ring on that and put it on my chain good work.
Beautiful work sir. 👍
Omg the feeling you get holding so much gold
Wow...what a beautiful chunk.
Und durch das Zusammenschmelzen ist es sogar ein kleines Bisschen schwerer geworden😁
really well well done, good job !
that thing is clean man.... it's clean

Absolutely beautiful! I'm anxious for you while your pouring this awesome bar! Too bad you can't keep it forever. Gotta pay da bills.
Bummer
This is a great video. Do more please.
beautiful rings, pure gold😍
Beautiful pour, for sure. I don’t know if I could’ve stomached selling that. That’s stackable gold right there.
Wish I could have kept it.
WOW! That sure is a pretty bar 👌😍
No wonder Goldmember said "I love GOLD!" Lovely stuff and $$$$ too!
Beautiful pour. Fun to see.
Beautiful bar. 99.9 perfect pour. Sweet!
What a nice chunky BEAUTIFUL little gold loaf!! (technically not so "little" haha) Anyways, great stuff right there man!! It's fantastic watching you work your magic!!!!
Oh man watching the little bars just "pop" and melt into the rest was so satisfying. Man *I'd love to hold a bar that big someday.
Big bar a standard good delivery bar is 26 ld 400 troy oz price £ 531,104.30 $723,496.30 but I still love watching this its more real.
Maybe you mean I would love to hold that big bar some day. I've? Damn, learn english.
@@gck82s Oof I know, the closest I've come is solid gold coin my uncle had. It was the same size as a silver dollar but it was soo much heavier.
@@jeffwilliams2031 English is my 3rd language and my computer doesn't have English spellcheck. One little grammatical error is no big deal, douche.

I like the words in the end of the video, it describe very well the addiction of gold.
Muy lindo oro brillante miro tu vídeo estoy aprendiendo de voz maestro me falta sacar mi paladio y platino
I love watching gold melt it is satisfying
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!
Why does it form the rings like that from liquid form.
amazing.
The pour lines form as the molten metal freezes in the mold
Did you have to prep the crucible bowl before begging the melt? Awesome vid man!
Yes, glaze it with borax
That was fascinating to watch.
I would not feel comfortable mailing it out. is it possible to insure that? or to you hand carry it to the refinery?

98%
