You produce such perfect videos. You choose excellent experiments, and your writing, filming, narration and editing are beyond anyone else on KZbin. I learn something from every one of your videos. You have a unique voice and a nice accent that really adds depth to your videos. Thanks for all your efforts.

[@stanleesiele6028]

Dude makes a joke... Sounds both funny and serious

[@danajohnson5993]

Made my first silicon in high school in 1967 by reducing molten quartz with aluminum. Poly crystalline , not amorphous. I then used it to make a copper silicon alloy which was quite pretty and good to machine. Pity I didn’t make the copper or aluminum from rocks, but it was fun and instructive. The silicon looked just like the polycrystalline chips you show. Thanks for this great video!

[@Acuraintegraman1]

Why didnt he use that method if its pure elemental silicon...

[@melonking9752]

Dude how old are you

[@danajohnson5993]

72 now. I doubt very much if my silicon was very pure. There was a point where you could tell the aluminum was used up, and by that time, the pool of molten quartz was hot enough to boil off any remaining aluminum. The arc carbons I used to melt with, had copper exterior, and I expect the carbon itself may have been doped with something. Besides that the quartz was unlikely to be pure silica. I didn’t feel bad though, since the really pure stuff is made by zone refining. It was fine for alloying though.

Glad to see you. Your accent remains very cool, I think those who complain about your accent or have a negative idea, can please refrain from mentioning it at all. Other than positivity, I don’t see anything that deserves to be commented bad on. This man has enough knowledge to make you get lost in your false delusional hallucinations, whether it imposes any criticism and/or unnecessary comments. Basically try to learn from him if possible:) The genius puts very much effort to do what he’s doing, if you do not appreciate the positive knowledge that he provides us with, then get a translator or enable subtitles, whatever. Find a solution, because there’s only 1 of his kind and you know it, otherwise you wouldn’t even proceed with the thought of sharing meaninglessness.

Silicon polymers are also used for very flexible and heat resistant wire insulation, and other heavy duty tubing. It is also used as a flexible heat conductor in some low power applications, often called thermal pads. One of the most important applications of silicon itself is in alloys, it is very commonly used in Aluminium and cast iron alloys, to change its properties, and is especially useful in aluminium castings, to make grain structure more fine. But even in other aluminium alloys it is used to improve machinability and strength. The Silicon Aluminium alloys are extremely popular in automotive and aerospace industry. Some can contain very big amounts of Silicon.

I love this channel because in the beginning where it shows the caution it also plays the half life 2 alarm when Morgan Freeman walks out into the court yard and the npc walks out and is like "wow they sure are stirred up about something, never seen them in full alert before", or some shit like that, and the city voice is saying "Citizen notice. Failure to co-operate will result in permanent off-world relocation". Good times...

I was surprised to see that molybdenum is used in cells. What other unique elements can be found in living organism that perform a function

[@alanmcnaughton3628]

I have had the same thought, I was coming from the fact God made us from the "dust" of the earth. Dust or finest particles /individual atoms. As I imagine our creator gave himself all the necessary elements and being the obvious master chemist, mechanical and electrical engineer, and creator of life from those elements that he was, it would be good to know every element we are made from.

Well it's funny you're making this video cuz as of not too long ago they announced they are looking for a new/better replacement for silicon as they won't be able to make much smaller transistors. Apparently they can only get so small before the quantum tunneling effect occurs making the transistors useless, so they need a new material to be able to get smaller, otherwise we won't be able to get any smaller so we would have to come up with different ways to keep increasing our performance.
