Any of my old videos that you think i should redo?
Comment from : @NurdRage

Awesome presentation! QUESTION: Any way to detect when the method needs recharged (new alum, salt, baking soda)?
Comment from : @NoferTrunions

That was just frickin cool dude
Comment from : @HxC_Fragman

How would it be the complete reaction including the H2S evolution, if present?
Comment from : @juangloyamancilla9765

Darn itI forgot about this method In 5th grade (60 years ago) , I won a penny-ante science fair at school by demonstrating thisI was hollered at by the teacher because of the smell it made and nearly suspended (must have been sulphur dioxide?)The janitor brought in a large fan and the students had to leave the building Later in the year I started making fireworksNo problem there, the teacher was My buddy and We made some nice black powder together Blew up a lot of stuff Alas, that was in the good days when 'adults' didn't flip their wig when a kid could be a kid Nicely presented video, Sir Thanks for reminding me of My childhood

Proves that tarnishing cloths are propaganda
Comment from : @pepercat17

This is amazing, will any of the tarnishing and untarnishing damage the silver?
Comment from : @mog2182

I wish my chem professors had taught my chem classes the visual way you do in your videos
Comment from : @Pharr78577

it was really usefull,thanks a lotbut i have a question is this possible to connect the negative end of the battery to the aluminium foil?
Comment from : @Azxfrd

Check out argentium silver
Comment from : @coolcataye

Appreciate this video tried this for cleaning my wife's silver jewelry but the last item a necklace isn't fully working How often should I replace the solution with a new batch? Should I trim my copper wires? They have a blue color to it Thanks again for this video!
Comment from : @daydreamer0213

I tried this on a larger project, but I think the battery was too small 30 gallons of solution how much current should I have? Anyone? :-)
Comment from : @brianfedie8046

Thank you so much for making this video!!

What would be the solution for corrosion stuck to copper?
Comment from : @jeffhauer6628

Very Nicely Done ! 👍
Comment from : @Jerry-Parker

Please do more videos like this one Using different chemicals and different metals👍
Comment from : @donaldspeck9212

I want to ask if I can use this method when I will clean copper, bronze or brass, nickel, aluminium coins etc I mean, I combine the salt, baking soda, water, and aluminium foil rather than using the vinegar salt method because it might have other side effects if the coin is not silver I'm not using the battery Only the natural way Thanks You are a professor, so I might get a better answer So, can you explain?
Comment from : @stephenlim4966

clean is clean

Cool!
Comment from : @HoteaMarian

Thank you papa! Price of
Comment from : @andrewjackson6903

I thought it was oxygen that caused silver to tarnish? Or perhaps it does form and oxide but the tarnish color comes from sulfur?
Comment from : @nick99995

Sir how to contact you
Comment from : @homemakefoodstamil2594

Maybe just table salt , baking soda & hydrogen peroxide with the tin foil
Comment from : @sandman_7326

This is amazing chemistry in life!!
Comment from : @edmulterer5984

how did the under side of the coin turn out ? Any marks from laying on the metal or did the ground wire from the battery leave a mark on the coin ?
Comment from : @sandman_7326

i must be living in the matrix every time i try to do the first half of the video nothing happens does the solution have to be saturated?
Comment from : @omarvela3154

Very cool but the chemistry explanations were way over my head 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️
Comment from : @MrLeviaFUN

Awesome
Comment from : @percys9427

It's just unbelievable that is everything in the world is chemistry Im actually pissed off that our schooling system never introduced any real science I would of been more science based in my life right now
Comment from : @MrStrongmuscle

Great presentation! brI just subscribed only after the 1st video Can't wait to see more like this Thank you
Comment from : @tghost7721

You gotta warn people about the smell! Doing that reaction releases malodorous sulfur compounds It’s a good experiment to do outside
Comment from : @evilsharkey8954

Utterly fascinating! I found several silver items in an old well They are badly crusted with something - not mud or dirt but something that steel wool won't budge I am going to try this in the hope it might work
Comment from : @juliemurphy5934

So if you stirred around the coin,brAnd caused bubbles,brWouldn't it work better? brMore oxygen?
Comment from : @videosYOUenjoy

Loved it Thank you
Comment from : @donnaflannery2757

Wow just wow I must own no less than a kilo of heavy solid silver jewellery that I like spotless And yes you guessed I hate hate polishing cleaning So going to try this Thank you

Well done 👍👍Great video 👍👍Thanks 👍👍
Comment from : @leoruotsalainen6339

Great video,You don,t waste our time and you taught me a lot very quickly
Comment from : @curtismiles4221

Will ultrasonic cleaner restore silver?
Comment from : @leom5028

How much of the silver goes into solution? What happens if you leave the electrodes in longer? Does it strip any silver from the coin?
Comment from : @plopfz

Will this work for milk spots?
Comment from : @xzuljinx1191

This only works lightning fast because he does the patina himself Try using this method to restore a silver coin or ring that has a patina from liver of sulpher; it doesn't work
Comment from : @Nopesky5893

This works on a Silver Sulfide patina only, right?
Comment from : @Nopesky5893

Great video So what happens if you leave it to be electrolysized(?) for a long period of time, or even do it 2 or 3 times? Will it improve the look? Thank you,
Comment from : @briannolan7818

i did the same soluton and used 6 volt battery but silver coin tarnished very blackly i made negative electrode touch the coin and positive electrode to solution so why did it happen how can i reverse this black tarnishing? i used regular aluminum foil and solution method but it did not make difference on tarnish
Comment from : @nezircaglar2381

wow, just awesome, thanks a lot
Comment from : @JW52654

Do you know of an electrolyte solution and anode that will work on tarnished nickel or nickel plate that's non-toxic?
Comment from : @chrisperyagh

STILL HELPFUL IN 2021
Comment from : @blad3811

Can you use this process on tarnished brass?
Comment from : @rustOfunk

the little bubbles at 4:52
Comment from : @ManuelRodriguez-bf2us

Will it work on copper too?
Comment from : @fengarm

Thanks for this, especially 3:57 onwards If only I'd known about this back in the '80s!
Comment from : @chrisperyagh

does it work on bitcoins?
Comment from : @TheCalaminator

OMG Thank you so much for this video My silver expensive jewellery got very tarnished (turned dark purple bronze colour- was super panicked) in washing powder solution whilst hand washing some soaked clothes Tried the baking soda solution on foil in a glass bowl with hot water didn't really make a difference Started to look online to buy a silver tarnish productbrCame across your video followed your salt/ Baking powder instructions within 10 seconds I kid you not, I couldn't believe it My jewellery is now gleamingThank you so muchI will donate to you the cost of the silver product I was seeking to buy online Thank you

Why is your speech garbled in various places? Sounds like you have a mouth full of marbles
Comment from : @socksumi

I feel like a rocket scientist after watching this video
Comment from : @VibingCat39

Merci
Comment from : @jean-jacquesbauduin8601

what kind of solution do we need for quarters, nickels and dimes? And especially pennies

Can you do please a restauration of copper metal
Comment from : @miketoreno4969

Would this work for silver plated things??
Comment from : @joshuakalaniparks9084

What's the green stuff that bubbles by the wire?
Comment from : @jangofett681

Just cleaned all of my grandfathers old coins He will be so pleased
Comment from : @heyyou5801

You have not explained the need for alkaline conditions My guess is that the aluminium electrode has a more complex half reaction, one that possibly involves tetrahydroxoaluminate ions
Comment from : @martinbennett2228

is the water in 1:20 warm?
Comment from : @paulosmetal

I found a silver half dollar at an ocean beach with a very thick build up of patina, likely from the salt water Would this method be effective in removing the patina and restoring the silver?
Comment from : @akjayintx

INCREDIBLE
Comment from : @silverwiskers7371

Is there anyway to replace the patina taken off a coin by washing it? How about a quote on eBay in the f*** stick washed it somehow and took off the patina Now I told the coin is worth nothing until the pits Patinas has back on it kn 60 yrsbr I was going to do the electrical thing but I don't want to make sure I don't make it worse I was going to put it with egg or sulfur or something I just don't know what to do I spend a lot of money on this thing now I'm pissed
Comment from : @johnconnersmithllc6095
