Man I love it! It felt awesome to not only get a direct reply, but to put them under the scope as requested! I’ve been subscribed since you were using subtitles and only had a few vids out, and you have my full attention when that notification comes on that you have a new video. I’ve gotten heavily into refining mostly from ewaste the past 7 years, and it wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t post these amazing, clear, safe, and professional videos I cherish. At about 42.2 oz of .999 gold, and 12.5kg of silver pulled from ewaste and some gold filled material. Your channel is a modern day Video-Hoke for me, including mistakes I get to learn from and see happen.
This is a great example of why we should capture the rinse water, and collect the silver cement from the copper. Even though it looks clear, it still contains a little bit of silver in it, and it needs to be recovered. I received my CM Hoke book today, and I can't wait to get into it. As I mentioned in a previous comment, it doesn't matter if I put the procedures in the book into practice or not (though I sincerely plan to do so), the knowledge in the book is invaluable for its knowledge sake alone. We never know what the future holds and when this knowledge will be useful in a practical way. I have started to collect sterling silver, with a flatwear set given to me by my step-mom. She was apologetic because it was missing a few pieces, and when I took her that I was going to dissolve the flatwear in acid.........well she just shook her head! I thought for a few moments that she was going to have a fit, until I explained to her what the end goal was. She actually became interested, and I turned her on to your CZcams channel to share with my engineer father. I showed dad the video of you dissolving a horde of sterling, that included a bunch of sterling flatwear, he was impressed by the 999 fine silver crystals in your silver cell, and it finally made sense to them why I wanted to dissolve the flatwear in acid!
Where is the melt footage?! What a cliffhanger you left us with! Thanks for sharing, iSuspect this batch’s harvest was more satisfying than some others….
I agree. Maybe if old Mr Rogers (seriously, my chemistry teacher’s name was Mr Rogers 😂) had started out with “By the end of this class, you’ll know how to refine precious metals to a high purity”, I might not have slept through so many of his classes!
Which is exactly what happens. The formula of silver nitrate is AgNO3, which means that one electron is required to reduce a silver atom. My calculation yields about 1450g +-100g for 10 days at 1.5A. If the cell did not operate in constant current mode, it would not be so easy to predict the yield.
Got to say that is an amazing series that silver looks so pure it reminds me of the best Christmas mornings with snow falling more like from the 70s I think our snow has been dirty since then more comment than needed awesome video though S-tips
Those silver atoms have sure been through a lot since this all started. They look rather happy now! Awesome turnout. Looking forward to what you'll have in store for us next.
I have experiment requests involving silver I think would be interesting 1. Dropping silver from silver nitrate solution using vitamin c - I’ve only see it one time but supposedly once you get rid of copper solution you’re left with 999 silver if not better - Copper stays in solution 2. With silver chloride we know it is sensitive to light but from my understanding exposing to UV/sunlight releases the chlorine and you can just melt it once fully converted. If true that would save tons of time and resources needed for sugar/lye method Seems like interesting experiments to try
How quickly does the anode dissolve? Does it get corroded.& rendered useless? Would you melt the silver off the copper wire to recover and run thru the cell with other silver?
I notice you appear to be making more cement silver than usual. I'm thinking we may have another cell coming soon. 😉 Silver is an amazing metal. It has the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. This reflectivity is why it is showing up as white. Above all that science stuff, it's just dang beautiful. I don't know if anyone else mentioned giving us a close look at the silver crystal but I remember I did not long ago. Thank you, Sr.
The electrolyte looks ever so slightly blue tinted on camera, to me anyway. It would be interesting to take a small bit and test for the presence of copper out of curiosity. Either way, I’m so happy to see you finally harvest these beautiful silver crystals. Ahhh, so satisfying!!
Your channel is very calming bud love it!! And that was worth the wait the silver crystal was so white it almost perfectly blended in with the ceramic!!👌
What was the total time for that Silver Cementing timelapse? I'm curious how quickly that kind of condensation occurs. Thanks! Love watching your operations!
Is there any advantage to disturbing the crystals and scaping them from the sides of the container before the process is complete to perhaps reduce the chance of contacting the filter basket before the refining is complete?
I've been wondering about if it would be possible to scale up the silver cell, possibly with a stainless steel soup stock pot and use the whole vacuum bag so you could fit more silver shot in at one time.
Why was the electrolyte not bright blue this time? Different impure silver source? Less copper content? . It always amazes me - the sheer quantity of silver that falls out of solution onto the copper.
what is the source material the silver is extracted from? this is friggin beautiful to see! thank you so much for sharing and explaining it so well! i think i found another favorite chemistry channel :)
Oh man..I don't care if it's grass,apples or SIlver, I love harvest, I'd also love to have some of this. If I was your neighbour I tried to trade some with the purest beeswax you could find on this planet. Bit of a shame it will coste over 25 euro to get some in the US.
I keep thinking, looking at the footage, that the electrolyte has the *slightest* tint of blue to it, after this run, though I guess that could be a trick of the lighting. I guess the question becomes, when re-refining silver like this, how long does it take until the contaminants in the electrolyte become detectable (either visibly or via chemical testing)?

That pure silver crystal looks like a Christmas tree decoration :)
I've been waiting 10 days for this. My middle name is now "Patient". Love this channel.
@Fun With Minerals Since 2002 is nothing, I'm a Leafs fan. :)
Who gexis and who's leaf ??
@Fun With Minerals Toronto Maple Leafs. Last won the cup in 1967.
As a long time Cubs fan I approve of this statement!
Question is where do you deposit all your used hazardous chemicals?
I paused the video I was watching to come watch this.

the melt on this is going to be so satisfying. been with this one from refining 1
I thought he said its double refined,for sale on his eBay
@@bronsonwawia9582 triple refined and SOME of it is going up for sale on ebay
Triple
The melt would contaminate it with carbon and possibly hydrocarbons and such. Better leave it as it is to maintain its purity! Looks gorgeous, too.
@@bormisha In a muffle furnace?
The silver cementing out always makes me think of old metal ships at the bottom of the seas.
Love these series of videos
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for all this
Where is the melt footage?! What a cliffhanger you left us with! Thanks for sharing, iSuspect this batch’s harvest was more satisfying than some others….
Well done....long hard fought battle for this batch, Senior Chief!
Just checked the silver price online and as of now we're looking at $1200.43 worth of silver. Impressive.
These videos are pure gold!
Fascinating . Makes me wish I'd payed a little closer attention in chemistry class !
I agree. Maybe if old Mr Rogers (seriously, my chemistry teacher’s name was Mr Rogers 😂) had started out with “By the end of this class, you’ll know how to refine precious metals to a high purity”, I might not have slept through so many of his classes!
Me too
About 1.5 kg in 10 days at 1.5 Amps. I think that’s as expected if each electron takes out one silver atom. Neat! Good video!

I can't help but smile at the irony that the scale you're using in this silver series is labelled 'Gold Series". :)
Fantastic series. Very informative and helpful. Thanks.
Thank you Sreetips. That was really cool to see the silver crystal under a microscope. More beautiful than it appears to the naked eye.
I love looking at silver crystals. That needs to be part of my next purchase down the road.
Got to say that is an amazing series that silver looks so pure it reminds me of the best Christmas mornings with snow falling more like from the 70s I think our snow has been dirty since then more comment than needed awesome video though S-tips
Congratulations Streetips the silver crystal looks just outstanding mate !! You keep on doing your gorgeous work good sir !!!
Very nice and chunky silver two thumbs my friend
Another captivating video!!!!!!!!!
wow very nice harvest..
Those silver atoms have sure been through a lot since this all started. They look rather happy now! Awesome turnout. Looking forward to what you'll have in store for us next.
I believe we heard a slight whew ! 😰
From the silver
I loved the microscope view of the silver crystal. You did an amazing job.
Absolutely satisfying video. Great work Mr. Sreetips!
it has been a long 10 day wait but well worth it.. those are some nice looking silver crystals formations...
That was beautiful!! Great job!!!
Awesome finish, looks great.
I watched this process from start to fin.if it all doesn't sell will you melt?Thankyou so much for your time and effort.
cementing silver timelapse is great!
Its beautiful! *Yells* Jerry! get the Pipe!

Seems like interesting experiments to try
Looks so clean! Your process is becoming more simplistic. Great Job.
That harvest is just so damn pretty.
Thanks for showing the timelapse of the silver falling off of the copper sheet. That was really interesting.
How quickly does the anode dissolve? Does it get corroded.& rendered useless? Would you melt the silver off the copper wire to recover and run thru the cell with other silver?
Loving these uploads 😍❤️🤘🏼👌🏼
I love smoking some weed and watching your videos. Cheers man!
wonderful pure silver to make colloidal silver
That's beyond gorgeous. Awesome job
Congratulations for the great success Sreetips!
hands down most relaxing voice. watch you all the time to fall asleep and learn something new every time!! your awesome !! have a great day!
Very nice looking crystals 👍🇺🇸
Wish i had the gear to do all that. I like the melting and pouring myself
I notice you appear to be making more cement silver than usual. I'm thinking we may have another cell coming soon. 😉
Silver is an amazing metal. It has the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal. This reflectivity is why it is showing up as white.

Welcome back
Woow wooow woooooowww juusst wooooow 😍😍😍😍😍
Awesome man. Loved the magnified shot.
Congrats! Keep the videos coming!
That silver crystal looks better than gold. Thanks for sharing
That's a beautiful sight to behold 👌
Looks like all that extra work was a smashing success!
Great series that mate. I enjoyed it :)
That's some beautiful work, Love it. Patience is your name.
The electrolyte looks ever so slightly blue tinted on camera, to me anyway. It would be interesting to take a small bit and test for the presence of copper out of curiosity. Either way, I’m so happy to see you finally harvest these beautiful silver crystals. Ahhh, so satisfying!!
In person it’s colorless. I noticed the blue tint during editing the video. Plus the silver looked blue a couple times (on video) also.
Great series of videos mate i watched all of them very informative
Nice job on this and great value,
Estimate 14=1500 dollars or more.
Beautiful. Nice work
Your channel is very calming bud love it!! And that was worth the wait the silver crystal was so white it almost perfectly blended in with the ceramic!!👌
Awesome!!! eBay store link?
congrats man, that is a great amount of pure pure pure silver, i really liked this series, and i like how you numbered them. thank you
Awesome result! 👏👏 It was worth waiting 10 days 😉
Finally the batch is done ;) Well done, dear sir.
I get nervous with those large beakers wish they had molded handles. Especially with that much silver in it.
Love those crystals. Mine usually look like mush in the end.
Great shit Sreetips!
Mate you always have the best looking gold and silver.
What was the total time for that Silver Cementing timelapse? I'm curious how quickly that kind of condensation occurs. Thanks! Love watching your operations!
About 1/2 hour
That was beautiful.
It was good enough to convince me try this experiment.
Still one of my favorite channels to watch 👍🏻
I feel heroic just for having watched all of these silver crystal videos.
Excellent
Is there any advantage to disturbing the crystals and scaping them from the sides of the container before the process is complete to perhaps reduce the chance of contacting the filter basket before the refining is complete?
I don’t think so. Crystal build up on the bottom is to be avoided. That’s where it usually grows from to contact the anode bag
A Gold ad when watching someone make silver.......youtube ads on the right track for once....
I've been wondering about if it would be possible to scale up the silver cell, possibly with a stainless steel soup stock pot and use the whole vacuum bag so you could fit more silver shot in at one time.
microscope addition is super cool. i hope to see that used in the future as well
The picture quality was lacking
Why was the electrolyte not bright blue this time? Different impure silver source? Less copper content?
.
It always amazes me - the sheer quantity of silver that falls out of solution onto the copper.
I think the anode was pure silver crystal tan back through the cell a second time. All the copper was already gone.
Awesome
You forgot to show us what if anything ended up stuck in the anode filter. Was there any more impurities removed from the crystal?
None
So excited when I saw this title! Can't wait to see what this looks like
Awesome video
You tried to explain what youre doing exactly, but im still clueless... fascinating as hell to watch tho!
You should have rinsed the silver crystal in a vacuum Filter apparatus That way you're not mixing with the last rinse
Great video
wow just wow! "Your the King".
what is the source material the silver is extracted from? this is friggin beautiful to see! thank you so much for sharing and explaining it so well! i think i found another favorite chemistry channel :)
Mostly sterling/925 jewelry, bowls, flatware.
At least your Chrystal doesn't pull out like fucking Afghanistan... I am so apprehensive for ensuring we fight for. Love you shippy
This was awesome to watch everyday, happy everything worked out for ya ✌
Try upgrading your fuse to some sort of breaker or old style screw in fuses
One that clips in place.
Excellent! Thank you
I cant even imagine how many gallons of distilled water you go thru.
Oh man..I don't care if it's grass,apples or SIlver, I love harvest, I'd also love to have some of this. If I was your neighbour I tried to trade some with the purest beeswax you could find on this planet. Bit of a shame it will coste over 25 euro to get some in the US.
maybe cool to cast or stamp your own Sreetips 999,999 coins.
That crystal looks absolutely fantastic. Great work @sreetips 👍👍
Been looking forward to this!!
Looks sooooo good!
That was a good series.
Thanks Shane
Was this yield larger than past runs? I was wondering if the better connections and fixed current would improve the efficiency of the cell.
About the same
I keep thinking, looking at the footage, that the electrolyte has the *slightest* tint of blue to it, after this run, though I guess that could be a trick of the lighting. I guess the question becomes, when re-refining silver like this, how long does it take until the contaminants in the electrolyte become detectable (either visibly or via chemical testing)?
Christopher, I noticed a tint during editing. But the actual liquid was completely colorless in person
Nice result!
