Making a Nylon Precursor using Green Chemistry

Okay, I know what you mean now! Ill look into it and try to do one like that in the next few months. ]

You could maybe do something that doesn't require all of the awesome equipment you have, maybe just 1 or 2 expensive pieces and some unexpensive parts? The part where you showed us how to make a cheap still was really nice to watch. I'm seriously considering doing that actually. Just an idea on a fun series that would show us some things that we may more easily be able to do at home. Maybe show us how to make something from nothing. You've seen Cody's Lab where he shows us how to make silver and gold literally from dirt? Maybe you could show us how to make Borax out of cap poop or something. (I realize you can't do that, but you get my idea) At any rate, I discovered your YouTube a few months ago and greatly enjoy it. Keep up the great work!!

I am planning to make Bakelite and Nylon 6,6, so Ill talk about those polymerizations. I also might might looks into some other polymers

Unfortunately, most processes will cost money and give you little in return. I can actually think of any that would be beneficial. Unless you do it on a large scale and sell it. I will try to think of something though. The idea is interesting!

You might not believe this, but I never add anything to buff up the time. I just edit and render it as it is. I try to be as detailed as possible

I would love to see a series on polymers, from the basics of liquid to solid polymerization, termination (e.g. monomers, polymers, reactive diluents), and the different types of polymerization initiation. I've read about this stuff, but it's hard for me to visualize all the stuff that's going on without seeing it in steps.

Loved this! Just a suggestion, you should do a series on how to get the equipment to pay for itself. Like, using X,Y,Z, will then allow me to make my own detergent and pay for itself, or it will help me refine the silver plate from Goodwill forks and pay for itself. I'm really interested in trying some of the thing but the upfront costs are significant enough to slow me down. That would definitely help me over that hump and get me involved. Plus I'll be honest, making my own chemicals would be pretty cool in a Prepper sort of way.

Can't comment on the chemistry much, I enjoy seeing the realistic failures as an amateur they are definitely helpful, I assume many people will critique the small fillers adding to longer video/watch times but if they can't understand that aids your channel with YouTube's fucked up algorithm, and that your channel is directed towards education then they can just go to the description and check out your source to get the how to. Hopefully you don't have to deal with people like that I've just seen it on many other channels to many chiefs to indians..

I enjoyed the intro a lot, your actions were humorous but you still had my attention on the subject matter.

haha yeah. It wasn't a big deal though. Still, i got a call and a message which worried me. The moment I told him that I run a chem channel, he stopped caring. I guess they flag it to track people who might be making meth or something

I am glad you liked the intro! I actually like doing it that way more.
