"If I was Cody, I'd be willing to do it." I unironically lol'd.
Waiting for him to respond
Yeah that was a great subtle plug lol
ya i remember that episode. i think he said it tasted sweet
A friend of mine did some research on how heavy water slowed chemical reactions at a given temperature due to higher mass, and we wondered how much it would take to affect your health. Fortunately, we had neither budget, nor a willing test subject.
He's Done it.. kzhead.info/sun/gLyBhtWBm2KDhJs/bejne.html
3:51 "If I was daring-or if I was Cody-I might be willing to do it." Classic line. XD
I'm feeling a little Cody today.
Didn‘t Cody actually drink heavy water?
@@Kleesmilie He did. And his gf too.
I loved the call out to Cody's lab!!!!
Instead of Cody's Dad
I am a retired electronics engineer/programmer and you do a great job at explaining the subject matter very clearly and I find your presentations very interesting.
Thanks!
My high school physics teacher had a collection of short tubes like neon tubes, with various pure gasses which he placed into a high voltage display. He passed out refractive grids for us to look at the samples through, so we could get a basic understanding of chromatography. Most memorable high school class ever!
I am a physicist and specially trained in vacuum- and plasma physics and therefore I can only tell you: This was the most brilliant precise correct and clear explanation of the matter I ever happened to see on KZhead.
Yeah, I did my MS thesis on Whistler waves, and he's pretty spot-on.
I've been using neon bombaders all my life, got 5 20kv transformers and chokes can't wait to see what he's gonna do..
Using O2 in an oil filled pump frightens me...

@ Tech Ingredients - I just want to thank you for the EXCELLENT quality of the content on your channel. As a totally disabled senior citizen who is home bound and can no longer afford the high cost of cable television, I watch You Tube videos for the vast majority of my entertainment. Your content is superior to 99% of the information that is available on this forum. Thank you for sharing the projects and processes that you undergo in such a well presented fashion that everyone can understand and learn from. THANK YOU!!
Hello there, Excellent videos. I'm happily retired and in my 70's, I used to work at the UofB in the UK designing and building scientific and electronic equipment and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Many people use such equipment to obtain results/qualifications etc but may not actually enjoy the workings of the apparatus. Similar to you I found my work fascinating and your videos are a reminder of how I felt before I retired. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Many thanks Chris.
There are two halves to equipment, half the fun is using it, the bigger half of the fun is building and testing it. ;)
This man just casually whips out a turbomolecular pump like it's a common household item. Best channel on KZhead.
I left my turbomolecular pump in my other pants, otherwise, I would show it to you.
Yeah, although I think Ben from Applied Science has him beat on the number of cool toys in his workshop.
This is my spare turbomolecular pump that i have wrapped in kitchen film pvc.
@@JesusFreke Maybe. Ben does have him beat on "Cool things I made in the garage" for sure. The CAT scan build from easy to find parts that actually worked a little was the one that blew me away. It was only big enough to produce images of a roasting chicken, buy you could make out the basic bone structure. Oh, and pretty much no shielding for the stray X-rays other than don't stand there.
@@KnightsWithoutATable And not to mention an electron scanning microscope.. both a restored one and one he made from scratch (!!). He definitely wins the "workshop I wish I had" award in my books :). But both channels/workshops are amazing.
Love the Cody reference. He's such a hero.
Cody did in fact drink some heavy water kzhead.info/sun/gLyBhtWBm2KDhJs/bejne.html
Cody's penchant for eating weird things, is what makes me think of him as what Wren would be like if he lived in the middle of nowhere and liked playing with esoteric substances.
Hey Cody!!
noice
I love how you explain all the reasoning for every piece of equipment that goes into a project. Also loved "Now if you want to step it up a notch." I started watching your videos a couple of years ago and nobody even comes close to your level of excellence.
This guy is the best. Rare example of KZhead used for good.
Thank you!
His confidence in fusion being available in 5 years leads me to believe he’s building a tokamak in the next room.
@bulletsholes Except most of the research on fusion is done in tokamaks. Whatever tech is used to produce a usable fusion reactor in the future, it will exist thanks to all the research done in tokamaks. So no, it's not stolen money
A stellarator rather...
Antiath I think we will also see the X7 stuff in countries where there is not so much area of land. Also results are pretty interesting sadly currently scale is a bit of a problem.
All: I realize there are better and more realizable possibilities. I’m trolling for engagement. He’s obviously building something, what do you think it is?
Nuclear fusion is the energy source of the future - and will probably always remain that. Ignoring that platitude 😉, I have the feeling that the unprecedented reduction in cost of renewable energy sources (especially solar and batteries) may very well reduce research into fusion because it might prove impossible to make profitable without immense government subsidies in the face of ultra cheap solar energy.
I like that he explains it like i'm gonna decide to build one this afternoon.
J L this must be your first time here
EDIT: received the epoxy 2 days after this comment, I'm sure a coincidence but very happy to get it! Would have loved at least one email from them saying things were slow or something, but oh well. Probably easier since they take orders and then never deliver or respond. I ordered 2 pair of the thermal epoxy 6 weeks ago and nothing. Emailed them many times and posted on their website forum where others have the same issue. I really like the videos, clearly since I tried to buy their epoxy, but am now fed up with no response. I don’t mind waiting if I know what’s up, but now they’re intentionally ignoring us.

Magnificent content! In terms of an immersive experience, you guys put Netflix, Amazon, PBS, Great Courses, the lot of them, to shame! Even when the giant content creators try and present something that is fundamentally of interest, they mess it up; they make it a vehicle for the presenter's ego or 'style', they FORCE drama even when the content is awe inspiring on its own terms, or they gloss over the details because they think the audience can't "handle it". Anyway, I was completely enthralled for the entire video! Thanks so much such enriching content.
The mentioning of Cody's Lab in this video warms my soul in a different way ❤️
I love how he can casually mention cody's lab and we all know exactly who he's talking about.
It's all one big family!
@@TechIngredients : As WE are, not knowing each other. I some kind love this feeling.

Amazing content as usual. It's been said before: "This is what I imagined the internet would be when It was new."
And even after so many years, it's kind of scary how much of a spectrum there is. You could teach yourself the equivalent of a university degree online, or waste years on mindless content that has no benefit.
this is what I imagined college would be like "wrong"
I thought the same especially given its military origins and its backbone being run by universities and colleges. Instead it was democratized and we got PewDiePie Twitter and Facebook

Me at the beginning of this video: No way I'm gonna watch a 50 minute video about plasma tubes... Me 50 minutes later: Is it over already??
I was just about to comment the same thing. Epic vid as always :)
Yup.
didn't realize it was that long ...
Just incredible how interesting it gets to be, even when he's just talking about mere plastic or valves.
It's two hours after my bedtime, Didn't even know it.
At 11:29 - the way I was taught to handle high voltage was the saying, "One hand in pocky, no get shocky!!" I had a good instructor. Great video, BTW!! Thanks!

Thank you for sharing so much information and dedication!
"(Deuterium is) probably safe to drink... if I was daring (or I was Cody), I might be willing to do it." I laughed out loud there - for those who don't know, he's talking about Cody from Cody's Lab.
LOL @ "If I was daring...or if I was Cody" (as in Cody's Lab, who actually drank some heavy water)
One day he'll say "if i was daring or i was Samy" about a security system of some persuasion and almost nobody will get it. :(

To others, they look unintelligent although they are the opposite. From what I can fathom, this dude is smart and well spoken.

@@alijassim7015 : On point.
"It might be safe to drink if i was daring, or Cody. " lol :) one of the many smaller reasons i love this channel.
Your clear explanation of how plasmas work and your equipment design and hands-on practical (engineering) skills are the best I have seen. I worked for 26 years on the JET Tokamak fusion energy experiment. I am glad to say that the UK government has provided funding for UK’s first prototype fusion energy power plant at West Burton A site in Nottinghamshire, a decommissioned coal-fired electricity generation plant.
Thanks!

Great comment!
@@TechIngredients If the neon sign transformer is center taped and the center tap is at ground potential, you only need 2 diodes for full wave operation. Connect the anode of each diode to each of the outputs and tie the two cathodes together for your HV+ output. This way, you'll only get half the peak voltage out, but since your using a variac to run the transformer at a much lower voltage anyway, and you don't need the full potential the neon sign transformer is capable of, it's a moot point. Another type of transformer that will work are the transformers from old oil furnace burners. these provide a constant arc that ignites the fuel air mixture. Though, i don't know if those are usually center tapped or not.
Priceless information and incredibly well spoken. Thank you
Great videos! I really appreciate the information density chosen, and the super nice builds. Thanks.
Opens the video with a casual "fusion... thermonuclear fusion energy" O.O I'm listening, boss.
at this point when i see a video from tech ingredients, i just open it before reading the caption or looking at the thumbnail. and what do i see there? an hour long video? about nuclear fusion? YES, PLEASE
Great show on plasma! Keep them coming!
This is hands down one of my favorite channels. Always very informative and interesting. I can't wait to see the next video about magnetic fields.
“Today we’re going to begin a series on thermonuclear fusion” That’s hot!
Great video! You made a small mistake describing radioactivity: Shorter half life means it's *more* radioactive. Even the simplest tritium-powered glow-in-the-dark keychain sticks can contain multiple *Curies* of tritium. This is why Uranium, even enriched, with a very long half life is far safer to handle than an equivalent amount(by weight) of tritium.
Thanks for bringing up the danger of radiation, of which there are several types - each with different properties. I'd love to know how much is given off by the plasma tube... (The glass will shield alpha and attenuate beta, so building the geiger müller tube into the plasma tube - probably impossible?) Uranium being only a weak alpha emitter is easily stopped - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Military Tritium is a low energy beta emitter, requiring better shielding - hence more dangerous than Uranium - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium#Health_risks ABCs of Radiation - kzhead.info/sun/pM6khN6jb4B3q4U/bejne.html - highly recommended explaining the difference in types and dangers. The Illinois EnergyProf channel has *a lot on this subject - it's sooo interesting* - not only on radiation, but fission/fusion in general. kzhead.info/tools/KH_iLhhkTyt8Dk4dmeCQ9w.html Btw - I got notified, I always seem to do. Perhaps analytics isn't behaving?
re: " I'd love to know how much is given off by the plasma tube..." Ionizing particles are one thing, UV EM "radiation" is another ...
@@EgonSorensen There would be no detectable ionizing radiation produced. The acceleration voltage(of just a few kV) is far too low. The tube is 100% safe in that regard.
re: "Shorter half life means it's more radioactive. " Look up: Technetium-99m en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium-99m#Medical_uses
@@uploadJ - "Ionizing particles are one thing, UV EM "radiation" is another ..." - but both are still radioactive phenomena... "Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a *helium* nucleus. Alpha particle emissions are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionizing_radiation#Alpha_particles

Safety note: The vacuum is a conductor and depending on how you have your power supply (transformer) wired, current could pass from the electrodes through the vacuum in the connecting tubing to one or both metal valves. For example if one electrode is also a ground and you touch the valve on the high-side you might get zapped. Don't touch the valve at both ends at the same time.
