Aluminum From Dirt

I make aluminium metal from dirt.
there are a lot of chemicial reactions in this video, here is a list of the main ones:
feldspar to clay;
4KAlSi3O8 + 4H+ + 2H2O = 2K+ +Al4Si4O10(OH)8 +8SiO2
clay to aluminium hydoxide and silicious acid (unbalanced);
Al4Si4O10(OH)8 + H2O + H+ = Al(OH)3 + H2SiO4
Aluminium hydroxide forming from aluminium chloride;
AlCl3 + 3 NaOH = 3 NaCl + Al(OH)3
aluminium hydroxide calcination;
2Al(OH)3 = Al2O3 + 3H2O
eletrolisis of cryolite solution (overall);
Al2O3 + 3 C = 2 Al + 3 CO

Cody is quite possibly "The most interesting man in the world" He probably doesn't drink beer, but when he does he makes it himself out of some kind of rock, honey and a bolt of lightning

Pro Tip: Never drink any sort of fruit juice when you're at Cody's house...

first pour boiling hydrochloric acid over the foot, next poke with highly electric pokestick into molten aluminun on a also highly electric fajita pan. lastly pour said molten aluminum over ventilator power cord. this is the stuff im subscribed for!

It's videos like this that make me feel like you're a genius

I work in an aluminum foundry, and we monitor the iron content of the aluminum using samples out of the melter. When the iron content gets too high, we add strontium to bind with the iron and remove it; iron makes aluminum parts brittle. Magnesium is also added to strengthen the aluminum.

I like the news reporter walk in intro cody!

[@DeanLogan]

I can't even imagine what Cody would get into if he had an actual lab stocked with commercial grade equipment.

[@ValseInstrumentalist]

When Cody managed to move and refocus the camera with one hand while holding a red hot electrified carbon rod steadily in a pool of molten metal with the other. Badass.

The geology lesson at the beginning was my favorite part. Being a employee of the oil drilling industry the understanding of shales and how they become hydrated during drilling is key. Awesome video.

[@theCodyReeder]

Seems some footage from a previous take made it onto the end of this video...

[@buddyclatone9632]

The " walk and talk " at the beginning was very Carl Saganesq. Love it man

[@anesthetized7053]

that news reporter intro walk was sooo spot on. loved the way you described the process that the clay goes through up to and through the fault-mine part.

Finally got all that iron and water out.

The thumbnail says Aluminium. The title says Aluminum. i cant handle the dissent.

Back here in 2021 going over this series again. All this stuff is so fascinating man. We need to get the algorithm back on you.
