Forging with Cody

How do you get the tiny particles off the magnet and onto the plate? I've had iron filings on a magnet before and its no fun to try and clean off...

Codybro have you heard of pay dirt before? Little bags of dirt that supposedly have gold in them was wondering if it's even feasible to make a profit off of.

Thought it might make a good video at least

What's with the random clip at the end? Seems unrelated.

Pay dirt is just the name of deposits that have enough ore/minerals to be profitable when extracted (i.e. the name doesn't just apply to gold deposits). If you can find people dumb enough to buy small bags of dirt, then it sounds like you have a great business model :)

Yay. Thank you for adding the reaction equations.

Proxima Centauri vor 41 Sekunden i would like to see you mining iron from the ground and turning it into steel. That process would be great for another video

Very cool

awesome "cook" cody ;)

Maybe "coking" with Cody? xD

Its a thing I do to pad the watch time. I was going to put "next time on codyslab" but it probably wont be the next video.

"Cooking with Cody : Iron from Dirt" sounds good to me

My favorite videos of yours are like this one, when you make things from the ground!

The timing was great from my pov – just finished my summer project of extracting iron from a combo of orange clay, the brown rock you mention, and iron bacteria goop – all are things I could find on the beach in Bulgaria. I was doing the same redox reaction but Primitive Technologies style, with a clay forge on charcoal, and a hand blower. Didn't get quite high enough in temp to melt the iron, or even get most oxide to reduce, but it was enough to get me a few pure iron specks, and the temperature was high enough to make the oxide paramagnetic, so I could filter it out with a magnet. I think next year I will be looking for black sand an the rock you found. Thanks for the video!

Amazing! I've always wanted to see a video of this kind of project, and it fits your channel perfectly. I actually came up with a similar idea several months ago, but via wet chemistry (reduction with zinc) instead of the classic carbothermal reduction. I don't have quite such a good heat source yet, that induction furnace is sweet! I've been building a crude arc furnace lately but only just finished the power supply and ran a first test. The supply is reconfigured from an old analog TV transmitter, it now makes 24 volts DC at about 200 amps current capacity. Easily enough to strike an arc with some old graphite battery electrodes, but in need of much more work.

Since wood ash can contain calcium carbonate (along with the carbon), could it be possible to leave the limestone out of the process and rely on just the charcoal as the reducing agent and flux?

Can you make a video explaining the different types of iron oxide?
