Hi Ellen!
"I'm going to move this inside so it doesn't get knocked over by an animal." Gets knocked over by cat.
I cannot fathom why people keep cats at pets.
@@ABQSentinel Because they're awesome
@@bchin4005 cats are assholes
Cats are awesome because they're assholes... most people marry, and humans are way worse than cats!
The cat wants to buy some treats and needs money, so it wanted to get the precious metals (he knows a fence).
So your cat just increased the resell value of your house. *Slaps on the floor* »This bad boy is full of precious metals«
Ruben Kelevra remember when Cody slapped his kitchen floor with his body😂
@@grahambins454 *falls on floor* this bad boy is full of precious metals
and "cough" mercury "cough"
Ruben Kelevra it probably sniffed it and tried to sit on it
I have great respect for how you just seem to fool around with stuff that's left around the house. Your chemical expertise must be up there in the stars.
Damn, as a total non-chemist, this reminds me of videos I watched a decade or so ago about people getting the precious metals out of CPUs. I think I'll stick with cooking stuff I can eat. Where I live, there's a rash of converter theft going on at the moment, which is why I searched for this, just to see. Goodonya Cody - you're a much more patient man than me lol.
Cody: I'm going to take this inside so an animal doesn't knock it over. Cody's cat: $_$
that was hilarious
Cody: *spends days working to make a video* Cody’s cat: I’m about to end this man’s whole career
On the bright side, you can now claim to have a platinum-coated garage floor.
Nah, call it "platinum-infused;" sounds even more haughtier.
Say it helps reflect cosmic rays or something.
adding sales value
I just wonder if cat is coated too
@przemko961 Nah, Cody probably threw the cat into the remains of the acid bath to redisolve the particles
I hope that the hilarity that a cat screwed up your CATalytic converter extraction isn’t lost on you.
"The chlorine gas won't hurt anything, going to release it into the atmosphere" *hears cars crashing in the background*
😂😂😂 best comment
"The only way to recover it would be to chisel up the floor" I half expected a cut to cody with a jackhammer.
I fully expected him to do that.
😂
The fact that he even considered it is impressive
"Now this isn't really profitable, but just to explore the chemistry..."
@@xjunkxyrdxdog89 , With all the pollution in cities its now used in high rise buildings to clean the air . All the worlds Platinum will fit into about about a 1 meter by 2 meter room . Its uses are kept a secret ! used in Industry . The Vatican church or the Pope has a cup made out of platinum , must be worth a fortune . I think its worth more in its pure state .
This guy is literally turning his home into a class 1 superfund site for our viewing pleasure.
And now you could to for the low, low price of your neighbors’ catalytic converters.
Your example with the torch of making the honeycomb glow red is exactly why a car running to rich will burn out the catalytic converter. When someone's Catalytic converter Burns out they usually just replace it and never ask why it went out. Usually due to a bad air/fuel sensor
I just watched a Vice video on where used catalytic converters in Africa. These guys were taking out that "honeycomb" structure, crushing it into a powder and sniffing it as a drug. It was insane, there were hundreds of them all walking around with plastic bags of that powder in their pockets.
theyll literally snort anything esp in central africa
@@spg1794 As long as it is White Powder. Especially when made of fresh bones taken from a a living albino child. Very sick and sad.
Ya they called it the Bomb lol they were cutting it with some kinda pillz
@@spg1794Agreed!! Hell yeah they'll snort and huff anything over there! I'm sure you've heard of this shit they call"Jankem" that they huff over there!? IT IS LITERALLY FREMENTED HUMAN SHIT THEY SHIT IN A PLASTIC BAG AND LEAVE IT OUT IN THE SUN AND IT BASICALLY FREMENTS! 🤢 WELL, ROTS REALLY!? BUT THERE ARE JANKEM ADDICTS EVERYWHERE OVER THERE!! LOL JUST IMAGINE your drug of choice being human shit in a bag that they'll huff from!! GYAAWWDDD!!!; 🤢 🤮 MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE JUST THINKING ABOUT IT YUCK!!! BUT AT LEAST THEIR BUSINESS IS ALWAYS BOOMING ESPECIALLY DURING DYSENTERY OUTBREAKS!! LOL!!!😂😅😂😅😂, 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤮🤮🤢🤮
I have been waiting on this video for 3 years now. I am finally fulfilled.
Except the damn cat ruined it. This is why I hate cats.
@@x9x9x9x9x9 I hate cats too
Fulfilled? Not me watching all that just to have a cat say "HAHHAHA you watched all that? Sucks for you!"
@Ix Suomi I owned a cat once and it tried to shoot me!!!
@@vinniecocco9932 it knew you were evil, that's why I named my cat Kevin to keep me in check
A lot of work, extracting these metals from catalytic converters. I bet you're... exhausted ;)
Goddamn it Carlos
h A
Sigh
along comes cat
Oof
Not sure what the hell I just watched. But I watched it. And I don't regret it.
This is like an episode of Breaking Bad.
In my city people keep stealing them I think I figured out where people got the idea
@@charlesmcgill2974 from their friends thats who if you're about to blaim this man you're really not in the right place this shit has existed for years your city just recently got caught up is what happens if you're that worried get a camera and a gun in case someone tries stealing yours if you dont already have those two handy
Breaking Bad is like a copy of Cody's Lab.
Just out of curiosity did you do an XRay analysis of the concrete floor afterwards?
Rarefying that floor! You legand
I'd actually really like to see that
Agreed. I wonder what the resale value of Cody's shed is now
@@albertjurkowski9038 with all the radiation and busted garden? very low i guess lol.
Next video "Extracting precious metal from my floor"
First, there was Schrödinger's cat. Now there's Cody's cat. Put the cat in a room with an experiment. Before you open the door, you don't know if the cat has knocked over the experiment or not.
It has both knocked the jar over and not
@@marcelpeinsipp2708 thanks for correcting leslie
@@cboechler7 He wasn't incorrect, he just didn't complete the statement. Not knowing whether or not it's been knocked over is part of the point, you idiot.
Man, I just love how down to earth you are Cody! I appreciate your videos. This is my fifth time watching this. I am a person who scraps etc and I love how stuff people would just throw away can be used!
Always enjoys Codys videos ive learned quite a bit of very useful knowledge much love to ya brotha hope all is well

Thank you as a auto mechanic I appreciate you brother keep up the awsome videos Semper Fi Gunny
Hi Cody, awesome video. What type of XRF analyzer did you acquire? I am looking for a not too expensive solution too. Any suggestions? Thanx, M
Platinum from the road is one of the vid's I always tell my friends about. That was one of my favorite because it was a brilliant concept.
I completely agree. I still don't understand how any state's DOT didn't recognize the possibilities.
@@incubusfan4211 True but if you recall Cody's video he did say the concept is sound but economic viability considering all of the refining costs might not be worth while.
No one used this chance to say, Cody's is a man of solutions not problems
genius
Very nice observation!
This dude has the potential to be real life Breaking Bad.Lmao
Cool, I learned something. Great chain maille! Now that I am retired, I have the time to learn the craft. Thanks.
Dont worry Cody, swimming pools release a lot more chlorine into the atmosphere (yours is negligible in comparison)
dont forget pulp mills. ive seen the stacks shit out yellow green for days
@@twigglykevin agree 100%
Two wrongs do not make one right. That attitude is what is killing our climate right now - Nobody's to blame because there's always someone else who is worse. Really we *all* have to stop living like there's 5 earths.
@@magnusdagbro8226 I totally see and ageee with your point.... but lets be realistic here and acknowledge that our mere lives are a detriment to the planet as we've known it, we all contribute to its demise in one way or another and beating oneself down for every little thing wont help the situation at all. We try to minimize/mitigate our impact more so than most people outthere in many other ways, including Cody I'm sure....
@@magnusdagbro8226 Cody seems to be quite environmentally aware - replanting trees and keeping bees amongst other things. Ok, releasing chlorine gas is never good, but it couldn't have been much.
"Hey everyone, welcome back to Cody'sLab. Today I'm going to be harvesting copper from these unfinished houses."
holy shit
FBI, OPEN UP!
HAHAAHA
"harvesting" AMOST made the action of thievery sound noble, but just not quite. Thanks for the laughs though. You are very funny...
You can hear how upset Cody is when hes tells us his cat knocked over The large vessel this is why I love Cody he took it in stride and said screw it let's with show the chemistry thank you Cody!
Cat 🐈had gas.
I love this channel, he has a ton of knowledge and a disregard for most safety concerns. Sounds like some shit i would pull.
Im sorry youtube is screwing you man. Your content is very educational and intriguing. You deserve more
What is KZhead doing to screw him over? Seems like he's frustrated with them but I haven't watched in a while.
@@joelachance0305 demonitizing and striking everything
@@joelachance0305 A lot of Cody's vids have been demonetized and struck because "It does not meet KZhead's standards and guidelines" which is there speak for "Oh you want to show off how to make/refine metals and chemicals even though you are doing it is a very safe way? NOPE!!!" I mean hell, he showed off one of the OLD ways gunpowder was made (with sulfur/urine/charcoal) and they got flagged as "inappropriate". Cody also only gave us snippets of the process, it wasn't a full length vid on exactly HOW to make it.
youtube has too many logan pauls taking advertising money to pay everyone, and pewdepies making bank for doing trash
Most of his best videos have been removed.
I cant believe there are people who dislike anything Cody does. Top guy. Keep it up buddy.
Oh, so you’re the one who you stole my cat converter
Hello there from Canada I like the videos u have in this channel, also bring up a question to u. Were do you buy all the elements you need to do this? Other ways is great keep it up and thank you
"this tells me that.... somebody ripped me off" School really paid off. Lol this channel is in my top 5.
Lol school. more like him having a gcms expensive piece of gear.
hes doing shit poor white people who live in southern states do to catalytic converters and scrap crap metals from tv's
@@angeldemore6922 you dont need no damn school when you got a 10 000$ computer in your inventory lol (5k on the cheaper side)
@Cody why don't you publish the name of this dishonest seller (to avoid him/her, and because there is nothing better than a good shaming process to stop/prevent these behaviors). I wonder why most people avoid denouncing these dishonest guys. Social media could make the world better also with that.
@@angeldemore6922 LOL I totally clicked on this video while saying to my wife "lets see how the crooks do it". Instead of one lesson, we got two. Step 1: Steal Catalytic converters Step 2: Extract metals Step 3: Sell waste on ebay.

@Fred Knowells you're new to the channel aren't you?. Anyway its a copper chainmail he made to add extra weight while working so he can get his workout done
Awesome video, what floors me the most is how brilliant this guy is. Unbelievable and people like him think of this like 2+2=4 it just makes sense. I’m just lost on how you have this knowledge😳🤙🏼💯👌🏼
Next video can you make a video about how to make a MDMA? I'm getting low on my supplies. Keep up the good work Mr. Heisenberg!!!
Your protection against wild animals needs to include evil pets :)
Pests
gotta be more careful with the cat though, it could have gotten seriously injured with the glass and chemicals
@@FroggyTWrite Screw the cat, save the chemicals!
Cody's protection against water includes gloves 5:23 .
Place metal cooking sheets on the edge of the counters at night. It scares the crap out of the cats and they stop jumping up on things
Good scientists publish negative results. Cody, I appreciate all of your style. Take heart, sir.
Hey Cody how did you account for the effects of chloroplatinate? I have heard it has some nasty health effects.
Hello, thank you very much for your video, I have a question, is there the possibility of separating 3 metals? gold, platinum and palladium?
Cody through the whole video: *Slaps glass tank* Also Cody: "This bad boy can fit so many deadly gasses inside"
Bad format, bad execution
Rubén Irrelevante Yeah I’m gonna have to say horrible horrible joke. I’d rather have a fat guy give me a hand job then have to read your attempts at trying to be funny.
I never knew people despised the car salesman format so much
@@RCobra17isMyName Well it wasn't even used right. A weird mutant crossover joke for which existence is pain thus should never have been created to begin with.

Mostly water :(
water isn't an element
I'm not sure there is a solvent for 10% pure evil ?
Fascinating and well done.
Thank you for the guide❤
1:00 It looks just like Minecraft terrain.
I literally thought that and scrolled down to the comments in the middle of the video lol
Now you know where you can get platinum! 😉
GO AWAY!
That's exactly what I was thinking.
haha searched for this comment because same thought
I always enjoy these videos. It doesn't really matter what Cody is doing, his positive attitude makes it worth watching.
Cody, Watching you was like being in the Chemistry Lab.........Good Job
I've seen your stuff years ago along with Streetips or however you spell it, 2 very smart fellas! So many steps, almost makes sense to do it with a LOT of converters. I know the California Catalytic Converters have a LOT more metals in them, like 10× more!!!
I have a sneaking suspicion the majority of your platinum in in your cats fur, 🤔......... You may want to consider distilling the cat in order to attempt some sort of recovery... I won't think any different of you I promise... 😆
ofc most of the platinum is in the cat, thats where it belongs to ;)
he should shave it so the cat doesnt die
funny, now its a cat. cat....
Codys cat, putting the cat in catalyst since well over a year ago.
Pt2+ is a cat ion after all...
I may be able to actually get you a large bin full of catalytic convertors.
Make it happen!

The local metal recycling place will pay 25-40 a piece for catalytic converters
@@TheAdventureLog I have two recyclers near me. One won't take them because the price changes too much. The other under pays to compensate for price fluctuation. Too many crackheads stealing cats around here.
Only way to make a profit is if you cut them from parked cars , otherwise it isn't worth paying for any of them.
Hi, is Catalytic converter with metallic things inside , instead the ceramic have any As a hobby I had experiment with AUDI A2 1.6 catalytic converter.. inside was a soft&hard fragile nets kinds metals .. I dissolved a few parts in HCL+HNO3 , the solution color is dark green, than almost get black.. but the Tin chloride test showing nothing.. is it possible catalytic converter without any precious metals?
More of a question Cody, what is the equipment you use as the spectrometer? I would like to get one. Suggestions on which brand to buy?
Cat: "Science? not on my watch, we'll have none of your heathen voodoo in this house!"
I've used the ol' "Rowdy cat spilled my homework" excuse plenty of times.
My Ol' rowdy cat broke my window with a baseball once
*mom I promise the poop sock isn’t mine that’s the cats please mom* *_MOM ITS NOT MY POOP SOCK_*
Thanks alot !! You just increased the amount of thugs stealing them by thousands
The best demonstration 👌
"Cody here. Today we're going to increase the value of a garage floor with a toxic spill."
Wild animals? More like keep it outside to avoid wild indoor ones! Sorry that happened, how frustrating. Great video still Cody!
Thank You for giving a great break down
Very inspiring and helpful for catalytic converter thieves.
How to improve the reward from this experiment: 1. More Catalytic Converters 2. Less Cats
So more cats and less cats?
* _fewer_ cats !
It's much more difficult to keep it attatched to the cat. As to whether it cleans up the emissions of your mouse eating machine who knows, there has been insufficient studies on it's efficacy. :P
Yey Minster Blobby
Not all catalytic converters are created equality. Some the scrap yards will only pay $10 or less others they will pay $400-500. In general the imports have higher priced cats.
Cody: I'm moving this inside because I'm putting it in kind of a precarious situation and don't want any wild animals running into it. Also Cody: I lost most of the product because my cat ran into it after I moved it inside. *facepalm*
Haha
Bold move, going with the ole cat ate my homework method. Let's see if it works out for him
Arm0ry he tried
Great work Cody!!! I do have a request for clarification though, at the beginning you state that you add hydrochloric acid, however the jug stated muriatic acid. Which one do you use?
Muriatic Acid is dilute Hydrochloric Acid, also called Spirit of Salt, or simply HCl.
Awesome I always wondered how it was done thanks
In the UK, there is day light robbery of catalytic convertors. They must have seen your video 😂
@@WAM.87 Its everywhere. Precious metal prices are rising big time due to shortages, so its creating an in for criminals to make money.
Those cats look like they were cut off
It happens in the U.S. a lot as well. I think just about any country that have cars with catalytic converters will have thieves that want to make a come up on them.
Just don’t buy a hybrid and you’ll be 70% less likely to be targeted
Yup here in phoenix its a huge and i mean huge problem. They target peoples cars at homes, jobs, Dr offices, etc.

Thank you Cody! VERY INFORMATIVE!
thank you so much bro Cody'sLab.
At least when you sell your house, you can list the garage floor as "containing precious metals" and increase the value by $10k.
@Tony Samson thanks Tony. We thought he was serious. Fuckin idiot
well as an expert I'd say that you’re gay
well as an expert I'd say 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣love your comment
LOL why is this so funny
Cody: wants to extract precious metals. Also Cody: picks up the bead of metal with the rustiest pair of pliers.
Good thing precious metals are generally less corrosive and noble metals in particular are corrosion resistant so no biggy
Hello. Nice video thank you. I was wondering . How much would you have gotten if the cat didnt mess it up for you? What is the value of that? Another idea is how much does the jack up the price of a new car we would buy?
It's interesting that this got recommended to me because on Monday, some people broke into our work place and stole a couple of of those converters from the work trucks. That kinda hints to me that they must have gotten this video recommend to them as well.
@Nana Kwame no, I can assure you I didn't. However, I did say the word outloud, so that means my phone listens. That sucks.
The old ‘cat knocked over my fluids’ excuse. We’ve all been there
I guess the feline was trying to cat-alyze the reaction... but that had cat-astrophic results.
It hurts...

This made my afternoon. I'm glad some still enjoying their chemistry outside of college.
You are a chemistry wizard. It's fascinating what you can do with the proper chemicals in proper proportions. Added at the proper moment. It would take a long time to build up enough metal to get any significant amount of money. Thing is, who are you gonna sell it too ?
Did the platinum from the road video get privatised or taken down? I cant find it...
Go join codys patreon he needs it more than most of these youtubers. He puts so much work into these videos you can tell. And you can imagine its probably expensive too.
Well that’s unfortunate about the cat knocking over your experiment. At least you now have a supply of palladium and platinum in your concrete floor if you ever need some.
Yeah cody. If you hadnt already scared away any potential buyer with all the radioactive isotopes in your garage it could have been a real selling point.
