unused footage from "cody's alkali metal converter" made into a video

Very cool to see yes Argon would make it inert thus useful gas. Potassium very hard to make for amateurs and it very expensive. I find sodium to be somewhat a scary metal.

Well NAK is fun too bad it not pure Potassium.

Hi cody, Is it possible to extract potassium from banana? And can you do it?

thank you Cody! i’ve always enjoyed your chemistry vids. Seems like you were enjoying the experiment too. 😊

Thanks for sharing the precursor to the more successful Cs video in a similar format. Very neat to see what was learned and improved between the different runs

Cool. You made a little pulse rocket engine!

I am STILL at a loss as to how you Don't have a TIG welder yet... You have a bottle of argon!!! Even scratch start rigged up off a cheap stick welder would yield better results faster, easier and safer than oxy fuel... Don't get me wrong, I love oxy fuel. The coolest thing I've done in my welding life was done with oxy/acetylene welding. Difference is the part I did was a cast iron manifold for a rare old car... You have the electricity at what ever location you are working in, fire safety with TIG is easier than with oxy fuel/stick/mig by far and just from watching you weld that the way you did, You have the skills. With TIG, stainless is easy, Nickle/inconel/monel/hastealloy ect ect are simple enough, aluminum is tricky but within the realm with DC and pure helium, Copper (deoxidized...) is weldable with enough amps, and the crown jewels are Every other high melting point/vapor point metal on the periodic chart, with enough argon... All of that is within your grasp Good Sir, why do you deny it?

I was also wondering about this, but then I remembered one video where Cody mentioned that they don't have electricity provided by a utility company at his parents farm and they had solar and wind, so welding with any type that uses electricity wasn't really an option there, so he learnt to use oxy-fuel welding, cutting etc. and these are probably the tools his dad has too so why buy a new tool when you have something that can do the job.
