    What I learned from Cody: It doesn't matter the amount produced, it matters about the success of the project.
  • @ncghost12
    So Cody CAN make anything from anything. The sun, air, and water is all he needs to dissolve your money.
  • You know Cody is kind of like the modern-day alchemist with his knowledge of chemistry. He literally would blow some King's mind with his abilities if you were let loose in the past.

    Cody, you're incredible. These videos are exactly why I decided to pursue Chemistry as a profession. You continue to inspire young upcoming scientists and I appreciate you tremendously.

    The aquarium airstones have to be pre-treated before they will function properly. Soak them in tap water for approximately 30min - 1hr and they should bubble just fine, even with a low pressure pump! Awesome stuff here, keep it up Cody. I hope this piece of advice helps with your future experiments; I've noticed you do a lot of diffusion to recover chemicals, and using a bubbling stone would be quite effective for that purpose since it would allow for more contact time/contact surfaces.

    This guy probly on so many watch lists, they haven't even named them yet
  • Using the copper tube as an electrode and for the flow of air was very elegant! Good stuff as always!

    It's not about the amount. It's about the principle. It's about the science. It's about the knowledge from doing things first hand. And finally it's about inspiring people to see that it doesn't have to be rocket science to be real science. You can do it with basic things and get awesome results. Love your channel Cody. You seem like a fantastic person and I'm sure you got great things ahead in your future. Keep up the good work!

    You found an NST at DI , thats awesome! The one near me in Provo never has any fun science things :D
  • I can't help being impressed by Cody's width of knowledge and his ability to rough up an experiment that actually works.
  • @MojoMakoto
    this is 1 of the best subscriptions i could ever have. great stuff Cody tips hat
  • @ebrylkation9538
    I've wanted to do this attempt for 10 years but have always had a lack of materials or time. Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

    Must be one of my favourite channels on youtube, was just thinking earlier today how I can't wait to see more ball-mill videos! It needs to be somehow arranged that Cody is paid to do this so that he can spend more time doing cool stuff!
  • @ocayaro
    Definitely one of my best subscriptions on YouTube
  • Hey Cody, are you ever thinking of revisiting this project? Like make it more efficient or such
  • @Llamadangles
    Hey Cody, another epic video! I love your work dude, you're one of the only few Youtubers I know of that is actually informative and make good content. Can't believe you don't have more subscribers (YOU DESERVE THEM). Hope you're well and keep up the awesome work. :D Shannon
