Wow squeezing Mercury through that paper towel was one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

[@pileofstuff]

When mercury gets mixed with gold the old time prospectors used to do the same thing to push the mercury out of the gold (but they used chamois leather not paper towel)

[@ecicce6749]

Yea, it felt very counter intuitive that this is even possible. I thought it would be like trying to do that with honey.

[@speedy01247]

I was like, wait that works (it is a liquid so actually the only real reason I was so surprised is cause I thought the weight would make the towel break, but I forgot mercury is not water and doesn't weaken the paper towel as it goes through)

[@amefuraggamuffin]

and cody acts like its nothing!! that blew my mind!!!!! i would think that mercury was too thick? dense? to make it through the tiny spaces between the paper towel weave

When I heard Cody talk about fillings, I instantly researched it. Yeah. It's still used. I have 4 of them... One of them recently. I haven't gone insane yet, so I guess we're good!

[@rjamsbury1]

They are still commonplace in the UK. I have about 12 in my mouth :-/

[@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC]

I can second that. The longevity per cost for amalgam, especially for the large fillings, is very appealing. I'm told they're more prone to being sensitive while they're still green, but I don't think I've ever had issues. I will say though, eating acidic foods with a fresh amalgam filling tastes pretty terrible.

[@Stepclimb]

Dream Services International Amalgam restorations don’t tend to crack under thermal loads like composites. When a composite restoration is cured under UV light, it shrinks a bit. This can lead to small fissures where microleakage of bacteria can set up decay underneath the restoration. There is some evidence to suggest that amalgam acts as a pathogen killing agent where if there is micro leakage around the restoration, bacteria won’t flourish unlike composites. Also, amalgam tends to expand a bit as it transitions from plastic to solid phase.

About the copper precipitation with ascorbic acid. You can vastly improve the yield if you react the copper sulfate with excess amonia and then add the ascorbic acid and some heat (I used a double boiler). If the concentration of the reactants is low enough and you also add a bit of antifreeze you can make copper nano particles that way.

[@vidhipatel9045]

Make video

[@eruiluvatar236]

​@@vidhipatel9045 I am a bit too lazy for that and my english pronunciation is terrible. If you are really interested I can give you more details and I also have some pictures of when I did it 6 years ago. My goal was making thermal paste and maybe conductive paint. I did make thermal epoxy with a 50% copper loading if I recall correctly. It wasn't electrically conductive but initially its thermal conductivity was great however it degraded tremendously in a couple of months. I used it to glue the aluminium fins of a thermaltake sonic tower to the copper heatpipes and although I saw an initial drop in temps of about 10ºC once the nanoparticles oxidized it was essentially ruined and temperatures increased by about 30ºC vs the stock heatsink. Another problem was that one of the parts of the unused epoxy that was left in the syringe polymerized without ever touching the other part so it couldn't be stored either. I also had a lot of trouble separating the nanoparticles from the liquid medium, they would go straight trough any filters I had and the only way I could filter them was cardboard but the liquid would take days to go through and by that time they would be oxidized black, a small amount of HCL could remove the oxide layer and I would wash it with ethanol+ascorbyl palmitate to keep them shiny but there was no way for me to clean them well. A centrifuge would be needed and I suspect that even if purified correctly they would still oxidize when in use. Silver would likely work better (might need to tweak the reaction) but the cost advantage is lost and there is already plenty of silver compounds in the market.

Thanks for this demo, it does demystify. However, I am sure sadhguru mentioned that ancient Indians used to solidify Mercury, of course by using copper amalagams. Even in the video he was using a copper plate. The point i think he was trying to make is to show that ancient Indians knew some sophisticated chemistry imho. I don't think he is claiming that it is his magical powers that do that.

Mercury was known to the ancient Chinese, Egyptians and Hindus and has been found in Egyptian tombs dating back to about 1500 B.C India was one of the oldest country using mercury so long . The guy in the Hindu video just demonstrate the Ancient Hindu science. He himself mentioned in the video that he used something to make mercury solid at room tempreature and he calls it magic that how our scared book (Vedas) have such an intense knowledge about modern chemistry. But i think Mr. Cody took this in a wrong way. Its good and like always western culture always making fun of Indians and their theories. And one more thing The theory of an Atom was given by Sir Dalton but it was known to Indians like 2500 years before him. Acharya Kanad proposed that this indivisible matter could not be sensed through any human organ or seen by the naked eye, and that an inherent urge made one Parmanu combine with another. When two Parmanu belonging to one class of substance combined, a dwinuka (binary molecule) was the result. This dwinuka had properties similar to the two parent Parmanu.

[@NJgateway]

Cody said that he could understand why people would think that the copper mercury amalgam has metaphysical properties. You don't need any copper though. Mercury all on its own seems to be magical. When I was a child I always thought that mercury was some sort of magical liquid metal. (I also thought that hummingbirds were magical as well.) 🙂

@Goroei Noble where did u saw her debunked Sadhguru's claim?? See, that organization is not a cult or money oriented people. It's just running out of volunteers and for people's well being. Sadhguru clearly said if i do certain things in my hands(contains solidified mercury) it'll turn into liquid. First of all, he's a man of huge reputation and respect. If u want, you can clearly ask this question to him personally. Just don't blindly go accusing people as frauds. Skepticism is good, suspicion is sickness.

[@tapanpathania6088]

@Goroei Noble well ...I've seen sadhguru's video and believe me he said that "we've been doing this for thousand years"...Surely he was referring to common people..So there's nothing about miracle...Also I am Ayurveda student....First time when we studied about some medicines we were amazed by the enormous use of mercury in it as we were taught that it's poison ....But before using mercury in medicines we cleanse it using various methods to make it safe.... Still if u don't believe that it is used in used in medicines...Just google this word "RAS SHASTRA"...And yes it's miraculously useful in treatments....

I love Cody's retort... "Well actually I can explain that pretty easily" 😂

[@tamilmysticssamoogam2993]

Dude I think it’s a cultural misunderstanding. When Sadhguru says solidifying mercury at room temperature, he is not talking about making a mercury compound. He is talking about making the pure mercury element solid at room temperature. What you did is add another metal to it which changed it properties. What we do is make it solid without changing its chemical composition. We have done it for thousands of years for certain purposes. Misunderstandings are the reason invaders destroyed cultures and temples.

[@tamilmysticssamoogam2993]

@Sangita Singh yes that small amount makes it a compound. Yogis make pure mercury into solid.. Not by adding anything. Its very common in south India and south Indian temples. If you don't know about it, I can't help you. Read up rasavaidhya

[@tamilmysticssamoogam2993]

@Sangita Singh ignorance of something cannot be a proof of non existence. If you don't know about yoga and yogis don't talk about them

Sadhguru is not adding anything to the mercury in the video. Original full length video of the consecration is available on KZbin. Why don't you watch it before typing?

Then he cuts the box in the middle with a saw and moves the halves away from each other and yet the head and legs move!!

If you get a filling done by the NHS in the UK, it will be a mercury filling, they only use white filling if it's your front teeth. You obviously always have the option of paying to get the white fillings every time but it costs a fortune. From what I understand the mercury fillings are much better value for the NHS as they last longer, are faster to put in and are easier to work with.
