[@GamMngitSssEmoTionaL5953]

honestly Robert Your an amazing smart man and i would of been honored to have you as a teacher / tutor at uni or college they way you speak so passionately about your work and how it fascinates you its inspirational , honestly Robert you should think about getting paid to be a teacher people like yourself need to be in the schools because the passion you have and how you describe your work and findings is just brilliant and spectacular , just makes me feel the passion and the excitement and why i love technology and how stuff works and is made , you Sir are a Brilliant inspiring man

@Robert Murray-Smith got to Give Respect where Respect is due Robert 🙏 honestly its inspiring watching your videos and seeing the passion and excitement on every experiment ✌️🙏 and as I said the way you break down the experiment is just brilliant easy to follow and understand as I feel that is half the problem with alot of teacher or people in general , how to show your findings and experiment in a way that if people don't know too much about said experiment your find a way that makes sense to the majority of people and with that people find it much easier engaging and continue watching the next video as they know it will be broken and down and well described video of the experiment 🙏 I find alot of videos on KZbin they want to explain something to a broad Audience but they just can't brake it down well and describe what they are trying to portray if you understand what am saying 🙏 and really appreciate yourself taking the time to read my comments and reply ✌️🙏 have great weekend

The secret to Roman concrete was discovered IRC 10 to 20% calcium oxide addition to the mix of portland cement this lets the concrete heal cracks as the oxide absorbs carbon IMO the combination of the two graphene and calcium oxide would be amazing.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

that would be amazing

[@l0I0I0I0]

Definitely give that a go!!! And let us know!

[@isaacm1929]

Remember. Not powdered calcium oxide, but small chunks. That's why the old articles cited "less efficiency than roman concrete" because they thought it was only the ingredients that made it so good at healing, while in reality the method of preparing was also important.

[@KhaavrenKat]

@@isaacm1929 do you think they heated up pulverized sea shells or what method is thought to have been used?

[@Barskor1]

[@danwyan]

A couple things from the Kitchen Chemistry 101 paper that I may have missed from the video, but may help others if left out: They used DI water with a PH of 7, which the PH of 7 gave the best exfoliation rate of PH 1 to 9 tested. From what I can assume, a centrifuge was used to speed up the graphite separation. Just let it sit for a few hours/days if you don't have one (or like Robert said, just use the solution as is), and the graphite will settle on it's own.

[@phrumps9794]

Easy enough to match PH values, at least easier than other things. Important to note what you add to influence PH adjustments. A centrifuge will greatly impact throughput in industrialized application, but it is unnecessary for a hobbyist due to natural separation. Heat up the solution, laser heat points, and call it a success.

[@matthornton44]

When you look at the extent that Tech Ingredients went to in order to achieve the same thing it boggles the mind why this video has less than 30,000 views and theirs has 1.3 million views.

I read the paper about milk proteins and graphene. It should be noted that the researchers stopped blending every 5 minutes to slow down the heating and take samples. Don't just blend for 30 minutes straight.

[@nlabanok]

Very nice, thanks for unearthing & sharing this gem. It does feel like we're on the cusp of a tremendous breakthrough on very high volume production of useful graphene synthesized at stupendously low cost with widely available raw materials. The challenge will then be taking it in its raw form and tailoring to the specific application. And who knows, maybe this IS one of those breakthrough methods where this is the bulk graphene platform and the challenge is now ours to do the tailoring for integration into specific applications. Anyway, many thanks.

[@euphemisticukulele67]

since we can make graphene using light, and we can make it from blood, plus the hint in the intro to this video, i think robert is suggesting vampires with their readily reactive nature when exposed to sunlight, is the best source of graphene when bombarded with a uv laser

[@NoahKainWhittington]

Robert, I would like to express my utmost gratitude for your unwavering dedication and meticulous research. Thanks to your invaluable contributions, I have achieved a significant milestone by successfully synthesizing graphene oxide for the first time, and subsequently transforming it into graphene using your recommended techniques. Your enlightening videos have truly acted as a gateway to the vast realm of inkjet printed electronics, significantly propelling my research forward. With great anticipation, I eagerly await any future uploads from you, as each video is a treasure trove of knowledge and never fails to captivate and inspire me. I extend my heartfelt appreciation for your remarkable efforts and, above all, for the profound knowledge you have bestowed upon us regarding graphene throughout the past decade. As an inventor and KZbin blogger, you remain an unrivaled figure in my eyes. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@runninggag1077]

Reading the paper, I believe the centrifuge was used to separate the leftover graphite from the solution. I could be wrong though. That particular sentence was worded a little oddly.

[@EdwardFrank-d3v]

To turn the mixture into a graphene solution capable of exfoliation (separating graphite into graphene sheets), several additional steps or modifications are typically needed beyond simple blending at room temperature. Here's how you could approach it: 1. Strong Acid Treatment: Introduce a strong acid like sulfuric acid (HSOz) or nitric acid (HNO3) to the mixture. This acid treatment helps to oxidize and intercalate (insert between layers) the graphite particles. 2. Ultrasound Treatment: Apply ultrasound energy to the acid-treated mixture. Ultrasound waves can help to further exfoliate the graphite layers, breaking them down into thinner graphene sheets. 3. Centrifugation: After ultrasound treatment, centrifuge the mixture. This separates out larger graphite particles and allows the graphene sheets to remain dispersed in the solution. 4. Rinsing and Neutralization: Rinse the dispersed graphene sheets with water to remove excess acid. Neutralize the solution to ensure it is safe for handling. 5. Characterization: Characterize the resulting graphene solution using techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), or Raman spectroscopy to confirm the presence of graphene and assess its quality.

[@StripeyType]

You address a bit of this in another video, but: You've got graphene with whey protein isolates cladding the faces of the 'sheets'... And you impregnate the casein from milk to make a very tough plastic material... Would it not make sense to: 1. Coagulate the milk, reserving the solids as part B and the liquids as part A 2. Make graphene as you do it here, BUT! use the part A liquids that you've just made 3. Spin off your newly made bio-compatible graphene powder 4. Add this to your part B casein 5. Compress In this manner you're not buying already-isolated whey and adding water to it, you're simply removing the casein which you will then use anyway. Are the concentrations high enough? This would effectively halve the number of steps in the process, make it even cheaper, and potentially for the enterprising dairy farmer reduce the equipment outlay. I would love to know your thoughts

[@Hampyumpy]

According to one comment, apparently the whole things works best im a pH7 environment. Given that coagulating casein needs an acid, that might reduce the efficiency a bit. (Also makes it a bit harder to calculate the amount of protein added to the graphene for the home chemist)

[@RyanRoss-d6z]

I gave this a try today - I will update with results. Interestingly, the paper said they stopped the blending often to keep the bulk temperature below 30 C. Rob, did you do this or just keep the blender running for 30 minutes? I've tried to do both, but it will be a couple weeks before I can comment on if it makes a difference with concrete hardness

[@gameriltsforever1093]

I would like to know your results

[@RyanRoss-d6z]

@gameriltsforever1093 Not great. Only saw a 5% or so increase between samples with and without graphene at 7 and 28 days. I have emailed Rob asking for advise in the hopes I did something wrong

[@ebenv1]

@Robert Murray-Smith - I must say I thoroughly enjoy all the work you do and effort you put into your videos. I look forward to see each new one you publish... Today, I probably watched this video for the 4th or 5th time as I am really inspired by this. I hope to learn more of this method of making graphene and you said that the graphene is protein coated. If I may ask a question, for normal graphene applications such as structural enhancement in plastics, concrete etc. would you need to somehow remove the protein from the graphene? If so, how would someone do it?

[@kbjerke]

[@lorenbush8876]

I will try that when I can get caught up on everything I need to get done. Thanks Robert, that's great.

[@snowpaw360]

So i tried this with clay instead and did a control too. Looks like it working, the clay and water only already has about an inch of clay settled on the bottom, but the one with whey has a very thin layer that is grey in color, (using terracotta clay, might be impurities or excess whey not sure), the layer with the suspension i can't see any distinct particles, its just one solid color like a pudding cup in appearance. I wanted to try this since suspended nanoclay is used to treat sandy soils like in dessert (or in my case Florida), to improve it's water and fertility holding capacity. Normally the clay will just deposit on the surface if it's just water and clay, hopfully with the whey it will be able to soak in, I got two fish tanks im gonna use to compare.

Really cool, the milk method. I needed an excuse to purchase a blender for my shop anyhow. Made a batch, spread it out, dried it. That was June. Long busy summer, just went to go back to tinkering with graphene, and something completely unanticipated had happened. Mice ate my graphene. I guess I should have expected that something food based would attract mice, so my bad that I didn't put the product into a sealed container. I'm sitting here looking at hundreds of mouse droppings which are jet black. I never would have guessed it. Time to make a new batch.

[@hc2013]

I loved the video. I see potentially an issue with using a blender and not ending up with very much single layer graphene as a product. I think this could be greatly improved by using a vacuum ball mill to do the shearing. Doing it under vacuum would eliminate the turbulence induced in the solution. By removing the percolating effect of the air in the chamber, theoretically it would allow for more shearing action by decreasing the disturbance from bubbles migrating through the solution and popping.

[@hc2013]

Popping and subsequently pushing particles out of the path of the steel balls, and thus making the process take longer.

[@mikefiatx19]

Great video, thanks. For concrete making what is the benefit of whey over washing up liquid? Is the washing up liquid not compatible with concrete?

[@flandmore9247]

So can I use this graphine to coat the glass on the thermal vacuum tube to make a proper cup?

[@klintkrossa6885]

So using the soapy graphene in foam concrete would improve the strength? If so then adding in fiberglass it may be a usable building material.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

[@ScottAuch]

Fiberglass doesn’t disperse evenly or the same way as graphene, so it doesn’t imbue the same properties.

I have a funny feeling milk is going to get scarce.😅 I have a small request. But first I will share that I am new to your channel, chemistry, and lab technique altogether. As far as kitchen chemistry goes, I can’t even make a respectable loaf of bread. I am getting better though it requires repeated attempts. 😅 With all that mentioned, here is my request or ask: please, will you demonstrated how you get the graphene out from the container. I would most likely botch the job by accidentally pulling the remaining graphite from the bottom. Maybe you already showed the technique for this on previous videos. Please reply with the video on how to do this. Thank you.

[@jasonh4098]

You made graphene infused bioplastic today, I don't have a blender but would love to be able to experiment with these myself. Will a high enough concentration of graphene per casein be conductive enough to replace copper(or gold or silver) sheeting? or is does the casein act as an insulator? could you press and heat it in thin enough sheets to use as circuitry if you adhere it to a board? also, there was a man studying graphene tubes in china. he fed them to silk worms and tested the silk they produced. the silk became conductive and much stronger. could it be possible to adhere this protein covered graphene to silk that's already been processed into thread? I'm really just discovering my interest in electricity and the like and don't have all the principles mastered. Would using more wires, of thinner diameter in a generator that used to contain standard 14ga or whatever, be more efficient? or would the increased resistance just set it on fire? Thank you for making all these fantastic videos. I'm a new fan, and you will soon be getting at least one more view and like on videos 1 through 1934.

according to chatgpt (dont take it as a trusted source) it could work if you seperate the water on top and graphite at the bottom and dont use heat but it would take a longer time

[@ryanjamesloyd6733]

Does the urea mix work in the blender rather than the ball mill do you think? And if you were adding it to hdpe or resin i assume youd need to get it to powder form? Im definitely going to try this in a couple aircrete experiments- thank you!

Quick question: is the leftover liquid from making your casein usable as a source of the whey for the graphene production? Because I can't find whey for less than ~ 60c/oz [which works out to ~ $22/kg] and most of *that* is flavoring agents & sugar from the "bodybuilding food" it's sold as, so that's probably what, $100/kg for the actual whey content? It would be aces if the same milk used to produce your own casein biopolymer served double duty for the graphene production...

[@weedfreer]

Do you have to use a centrifuge, or, could you possibly filter it out of the water using a gravity filtration set up, maybe, using a vacuum beneath too?

[@old_gregam8274]

Why aren’t we applying a potential to the solution to help organize and lengthen the connections, as they are sheared apart? If I wanted to create a fiber I need to untangle and twist them other. Here we already have a circulating solution. I imagine even a potential difference like the Perpetual Battery - Powered By Water from Jun. 19th 2020 with aluminum and brass. On the inside of the blender a potential difference would be created in situ. Then again, battery voltage, or high voltage could be easily added. I don’t know how to validate the outcome.

Great stuff. I wondering how such graphene can be added to resin to allow it to be printed in a resin 3D printer? Instead of water, could another solvent be used that is compatible with resin so it can be mixed in? Alternatively do you think the process of mixing dry graphene with resin could be done without it becoming super complicated?

Hey bud, i got into the idea of graphene a couple years ago, but i have no way of testing my graphene to know if it is in fact graphene. I dropped charcoal briquettes made for hookah into water, it broke up into a fine material, i strained it through a coffee filter and let it dry. I have a video on my channel. There was a chemical reaction, i figure if this is not graphene mixing some hydrogen peroxide into the solution should break it apart into even smaller materials. Or use ultrasound The plan is to use it in a powder coating gun and spray an ionization pad for an atmospheric generator. How do i check my material to know if it is graphene with out an electron microscope?

[@MichaelSkinner-e9j]

One of the things I’ve been thinking of, once you make stuff with graphene whether it’s graphene plastics or graphene and carbon fiber, besides paints and other materials, what about handling the recycling or disposal? What’s the lifecycle and disposal look like? Would it leech into the water supply? I could see graphene being used in aircraft, boats, housing and paneling, besides solar and renewable energy components, but what does the breakdown look like and does it break down in the stuff that you could ingest or breathe in, and what does that do? My guess is if it’s in the paint or epoxy, it would be unlikely to do so, but filters is another story. My guess is if you change it every so often, and considering it’s durability you would probably change it at least as often as a regular filter before that becomes a problem

Look clozely at what's floatting in ur drinx..

[@MichaelSkinner-e9j]

@@kellycarver2500 I understand the issue of micro plastics. I wonder how much is excreted in the body (most things that you cannot absorb are either excreted in your feces or urine)

[@kellycarver2500]

@@MichaelSkinner-e9j I'm not talking about microplastix. It is neural lace, BCI they are adding to our food & drinx now. Using the process of teslaphoresis, literally turning us into walking sur/veil/ance.

What would happen if you create a "settling pond" with the liquid as dispersed as surface tension would allow?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

no idea

[@John-mc8sh]

I don’t have the centrifuge. Blender I got but I wonder how an ultrasonic cleaner. Like the one they use to make liposomal vitamin C. Liposomal graphene absorbed into the bones gets the wolverine properties going ;)

So, what if you could get human albumin? Comes in either 4%x 500mls or 20%x 100mls any better than haem in whole blood? Just wondering Cheers

I have to wonder if this could be mixed with chemicals and nefariously put on unknowing people to do all kinds of damage particularly after the fact and from afar. Sounds crazy but I've seen things that might be explained this way

[@townbell2248]

This reminds me of a science article on using blood to make concrete stronger

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

i must look that up!

Where can I buy a ton of graphite for $350? I'm seeing prices on the order of $20/lb ($40,000/ton)

i buy mine from a supplier mate - but then i use a lot

Will ultrasonic bath have the same effect as blender? I have both, but use blender for food, and definitely don't want to introduce any graphene into my diet

[@flandmore9247]

It will make you stronger, faster and more conductivr

[@elvendragonhammer5433]

Just what we needed- graphene improved vampires! Now not only will they sparkle, but their skin will be a beast to pierce- as if they weren't enough of a nightmare to take down before... lol

Can’t believe you failed to celebrate your successful recipe with a ‘whey hey!’.

[@norbist2]

You cant get dried graphene, just by lyophilization, otherwise the graphene sheets restick togheter.

[@elonmusket3707]

Please do Roman concrete with graphene next like one of the comments was talking about

[@emariaenterprises]

Amazing!

[@shanealexander9952]

Thats Whey Cool! I think i'll give it a whirl.

Can you make a water filter right from this I saw a guy from India with a break though water filter made from graphene can it do salt water ? Hay here's a thought how about listing everything that graphene can do ! Concrete conductive paint electrodes super caps hydrogen water splitter is it harmful to humans ? Do you know more ?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

i would think you can but i am not going to list everything - you can though - that would be cool

[@R2NOTU]

@@ThinkingandTinkering I really don't know more . But it seems there's more . That salt water filter would be a life saver .
