perhaps if the plant was crushed instead of cut it could yield more oil.

Not sure if the essential oils are coming from trichomes or maybe something in the pods, but drying the plants bone dry and blending it into a powder would likely increase yields, could be by a little, could be by a fair bit.

[@Paul-gz5dp]

You mean as is done with many other materials? Such as pressing with heat, and the reason for using steam is that it works with light volatiles and is limited more in the level of heat applied, and is better for getting essential oils when there is so much more dry materials than there is oil. This is the same process that is used to obtain Rose oil and many others. However it does not work with oils with a much higher boiling point than water.

[@Bob5mith]

Kerosene is probably cheaper than the electricity he'd use to distill an equivalent amount of oil, not to mention the time and effort. Firewood doesn't appear to be abundant for long term post-SHTF processing. Maybe if he developed a way to distill it with direct solar heating, but the return on time investment is still an issue.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I don't get why he didn't just use a rosin press

[@gamingscientist7445]

Sounds like a breeding experiment is in order. Breed a strain of the plant that produces a heavy amount of oil, thereby improving your output yield. After that, it's just a matter of improving your distillation apparatus. Might be able to produce a viable product.

[@mikebrooka9395]

Well done! Many years ago, a 4-H Teen Leader raised a crop of black sunflower seeds (common name: Russian sunflower), they are oily as the dickens. He pressed the oil out with a modified cider press. It used plates with smaller and more holes. This brings me to the question, is it more efficient to press and then cook or just cook? Next question is would a solvent work better like acetone in the beaker and a layer of water in that (I forget it name) on top of the beaker. The 4-H Teen Leader ran his tractors and combines on the sunflower oil in 1981 and still to this day. He filtered the pressed oil through old denim jeans and then a diesel fuel filter. Ain't not bad science, for it's day. Take care from Oklahoma Mike and 'That Dang Woman'.

[@dfpguitar]

Im surprised that was ever worth the effort. Fuel prices in the US are vastly cheaper than they are in Europe. Pressed sunflower seeds would make a high grade edible oil that would be worth much more than the equivalent amount of gasoline or diesel.

[@mikebrooka9395]

@@dfpguitar True. At that time, sunflower oil was nothing to the gallon and only mulched and put nitrogen in the soil, when turned under, for the cash crop of wheat next year. Thadd told me that cost savings were about 8 cents per gallon, all said. That meant the cost of the seedings, property rent, fuel from first harvest, next few years of harvest, and resoughlting yield and per acre. I will say that if he did hot press the seeds, his savings would have been higher.

[@dfpguitar]

@@mikebrooka9395 that is very interesting to know. Farming in the US must be very different to the UK with all that space. It's unimaginable to think of any oil crop being mulched in the UK. Also sunflowers are a strange choice as a nitrogen "green manure" . The farming I am familiar with uses plants like clover & alfalfa which fix nitrogen to soil while alive, and again when mulched as they are still soft & green. They are also perfect grazing for animals. Sunflowers are extremely fibrous by the time they flower, and by the time they seed they are like a cross between a stick and a rope. It's hard to imagine them even breaking down in a season. May I ask, do you know where the income source is for grain crops like wheat? Is the money straight from commercial buyers or is it government subsidy?

[@mikebrooka9395]

@@dfpguitar kind of depends. Some farms sell to commercial buyers under a contract. Most of the smaller farms sell to a local co-op that stores the grain until market value goes up and then they put it on railcars for its 'final' destination. Some years, the government will see the market value too low and pay farmers to not grow wheat at all. This all stays true for all commodity markets. It gets deeper, but that is the tip of the iceberg. Oh, the sunflowers fo degrade a bit faster than you would think when plowed under. As for nitrogen, we use anhydrous ammonia. It kills everything and sets in a lot of nitrogen (that is usually the case for wheat only farms). Old fashioned farmers will rotate legumes one year and wheat or cotton the next.

[@rchuno]

dfpguitar Generally no subsidies for grain producers, although it can happen. Usually to trigger that a natural disaster needs to have happened or something like a significant foreign subsidy has unexpectedly come into play. (Russia or China). This is generally for only one year as the farmers are expected to be smart enough to change crops if they aren't going to make any money farming what they were farming, or like my parents who couldn't afford to keep farming because of low wheat and barley prices, had to sell their farm and find new work.

It's not gumweed that they used, it was Rapeseed, or canola oil. I actually worked on this project with ARA. We used catalytichydrothermolosis, basically putting a water/canola oil mix into a supercritical state (very high heat, very high pressure). The product came out crude, and we shipped it for refining, so I don't know what that process entailed, but it was quite interesting, and very flammable. From what I understand the yield made it more expensive than standard Jet-A, but it was renewable, so they wanted us looking into it anyway.

Hmm. You might want to try just a straight distillation. The sticky components are probably less volatile than the stuff that you got. I've found that if you wrap something like that (2 liter?) flask loosely in aluminum foil and let it hang over the sides of the hot plate, you get pretty even heating.

[@KainYusanagi]

Y'know how they used to get olive oil, yeah? Yeah.

[@tiusso]

Kain Yusanagi Used to? The extra virgin olive oil gets it's name because it's the one obtained with the first cold press of the olives, then comes the virgin oil which gets heat pressed from the remains of the first press and then the rest of olive oils which are unlabeled as extra virgin or virgin are extracted from what's left with solvents. This is the process from 2000 years ago and still aplies today.

[@THX..1138]

I think the extraction was wildly inefficient. His gloves got all sticky from cutting up the weeds. That shows there was a lot of oil in the plant in the plant material.

[@rustygear9370]

It could be possible, eventhough I tried this receipe with other plants with more oil content : - First dry the plants under sunlight for few days (not too long or they will lose most of the oil, just the right amount of time to let them crush under stress) - Crush them into fine powder (the point of drying) - Put them back in distilled water, in the same proportions you make with pancake dough. - Let them inflate covered overnight, the mix will be more firm - Place them in press between alternate layers of fine mesh stainless steel sieves Water should draw out with oil, heating the layers around 70°C will make oil more fluid and ease the process.

[@steve-o6413]

Yes the Military has people with intelligent design patents on about everything lol, an if they don't now they will in the future. But this is a great video I learned a great deal of information. One that I didn't expect is why it's so hard to put out forest fires. Plants are using jet fuel to keep them burning lol now if we can come up with a way to stop this well "if" is a big to use but you get the message.

[@corpsie666]

Harvest the plants, extract the oil and return the leftover biomass to become fertilizer

[@Daniel-ou4fb]

Thanks Cody, now I know what to do when I get a bunk bag!

If you're looking for interesting solvent extraction to try, I've wondered about a Soxhlet style device using butane, so instead of heating it at the bottom you refrigerate the top to condense it, and it boils itself out of the distillate at ambient temperature. You've certainly got enough experience with pressure vessels and cryogens to give it a go.

[@TG9910]

That's what I thought!

[@EmazingGuitar]

Butane exracts more than the oils and brings pigments from the plant making the oil contaminated with pigments and plant matter

[@housegoth]

Carlos Martinez butane gets the waxes and fats as well as the oils but gets very little pigment or plant matter which is what makes it better then an alcohol solvent extraction process.

KZbin doesnt care

[@funnynickline]

what a wonderful experiment' and extracts discovery from a wonder plant turns out to be weed oil' Blesses us all with mother nature.👍👍🕺

[@aaron2709]

Awesome experiment!

[@gabrielbennett5162]

I'll be darned! If this is the same stuff we call tar weed out west, I'd always wondered if you could make fuel out of it! Nice to know the idea wasn't so crazy.

*In the voice of Peter Griffin: WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS?!

[@michaelfixedsys7463]

It was more cost effective to use kerosene

[@placeholdername0000]

If you want biofuels just gasify some biomass and use a Fischer Tropsch reaction. Significantly higher yield and flexibility in feedstock.

[@TheAttacker732]

@Aimless Studios However, considering that it's in the desert, it's a relatively low-infrastructure way to get a diesel/kerosene analogue. Soybeans (oil) & wood (wood alcohol) to biodiesel is probably more efficient (and can produce charcoal as a secondary output), but is less practical in deserts & desert-like conditions.

[@TheAttacker732]

@Aimless Studios Wood alcohol, methanol, is a byproduct of making charcoal. It isn't a direct byproduct, rather it comes from the carbon monoxide the wood lets out as it's heated in the charcoal producing process. I believe copper is the most common backcountry catalyst for methanol production. A few gallons of methanol is enough to catalyze most of a drum of vegetable oil into fuel suitable for diesel engines. Modern diesels can be surprisingly picky if you're forced to keep it in an emissions-test-passing configuration. However, I'm looking at this in the context of fueling vehicles. As well as the context of my area (wooded with lots of farmland), where soybeans have to be rotated through to replenish the fields. If we need to grow soybeans anyways, might as well make fuel from them. The remaining biomass feeds animals or goes back into the ground, although it could be turned into fuel as well.

poor cody gettin salty about the military already thinkin of his idea

There is no such thing as "salty".

[@zacherymarshall3220]

Salt isn't salty

[@glytchd]

@Robin Apparently you've never caught glimpse of a Salty Old Sea-Dog :)

[@zacherymarshall3220]

I have and when I picked him he didn't tast "salty"

I love this video. I have watched it many times.

[@fractalspace1111]

wow this guy's channel is pretty awesome

[@shed1536]

America wants to: know your location

[@BambooBailey]

Cody: let’s see if we can extract oil from gum weed FBI: * muffle banging on door* FBI OPEN UP!!

[@notaprogrammer7970]

They don't knock they'd just blow off the hinges.

[@Skammy5]

I'm here from watching AvE vijeos. I like it! Rock on, Cody.

[@Joe30pack]

It makes decent Biodiesel, lower yield as noted here, but decent fuel none the less. Cody's Lab rocks!

[@PerspectiveEngineer]

Thumbs up for sticky weed and NurdRage!

[@ericknyevz3840]

Cody you most likely over heated the terpenes and/or flavonoids in the flower. Try using a gravity-fed hexane extraction next time. Like propane or butane. Critical CO2 well work as well. Just that's not as easy to do at home.

[@houghwhite411]

He had space if he wanted to

[@donaldsmith3048]

It may work good in some of the older 2.5 ton trucks from the 60's. The M35A2 has a multi fuel engine that will run on almost any liquid that will burn!

[@diyar_ali_arif]

I hope it can be a sustainable fuel in the near future thank you for inspiring me to get into this.

[@kacper526]

Cody, is it possible to use this method for extraction other oils? For example mint.

[@TheHilariousGoldenChariot]

Resow no mint only makes tea

[@theCodyReeder]

yes.

[@mayhem_unlimited3013]

0:14 *Military jumps on Cody yelling "give me the oil!"*

[@WarTV14]

I don’t watch Cody that much but hopefully someone can answer this. What was that fan at 2:33?

[@A86140]

Chaotic good would be Cody's alignment.

[@yushatak]

Will this grow on the east coast? I'd not mind messing with it a bit.

[@VigoHornblower]

I propose a challenge for you: Can you extract oxygen from Lunar Regolith Simulant? It's very rich in oxygen, so I'd imagine it would be possible.

[@varietiesofvideos1653]

Looks like you are the best at what you do.

[@Dreamydazefarm]

Your amazing brother keep up the great videos !!!
