Making Liquid Methane (and blowing up my Cryocooler)

annual premium subscription.
In this video I'm going to Liquify Methane / Natural gas with my Mixed-Gas
Joule-Thomson Cryocooler. Methane liquifies at -162C under ambient
pressure, but at elevated pressures, it can be condensed as high as -85C.
In this experiment I'll condense some at -118C / 12 bar of pressure.
My cryocooler was meant for making liquid air or liquid nitrogen, but I
figured I'd try liquefying some methane along the way to see if there's
any pitfalls / issues with making liquefied natural gas (LNG), which there
definitely were.
The joule-t...

Battery-Powered Magnetron
Просмотров 568 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In this video I'll explain how a Magnetron works, collect some current/voltage numbers on a typical household magnetron from a microwave oven, and show how to power one off a 12V battery. Typical DIY magnetron videos only show how to remove the transmitter from the microwave oven and run it with its original circuitry off mains power. Here, I'm basically building a high frequency inverter circu...
Automated Hydrogen Generator
Просмотров 1,4 млн8 месяцев назад
In this video I'll show how I built my Hydrogen gas generator using electrolysis of a 10% Sodium Hydroxide solution with 316 stainless steel electrodes. Unlike an "HHO" generator, this cell separates the hydrogen from the oxygen, so it can be collected in a tank for later use. In the video, I demonstrate its usefulness as a lifting gas for a camera-carrying balloon, but my ultimate goal is to l...
Joule-Thomson Cryocooler Part II (-153°C)
Просмотров 185 тыс.9 месяцев назад
In this video, I'll build on my progress from the last Joule-Thomson cryocooler video and reach a temperature of -153C on a single stage using parts sourced from window A/C units and common/cheap substances as refrigerants (a mixture of Propane, Ethylene, and Methane). This temperature is low enough to condense any gas except for Hydrogen, Helium, or Neon, at the following pressures: Nitrogen -...

    • @fanman421
      @fanman421 День назад

      Uh…. No…. Tesla used high frequency, high voltage, tuned transformers for his wireless power experiments. My sixth grade science fair project was a 750,000 volt Tesla coil. Yes, it would wirelessly light up a fluorescent lamp about 30 feet away, but that was the radiated radio frequency waves that did that. I could walk up to it and roll my knuckles about 12 inches away from the top and the sparks would hit my knuckles. Just felt like tiny pin pricks on my knuckles. Not enough power to do anything like running a motor.

    0:54 not true. A common misconception: electric current takes all paths available not the path with the least resistance.

    • @fanman421
      @fanman421 День назад

      Well…. When lightning hit the wire between our house and the barn, it traveled to the fuse box, then across the outside wall and into the kitchen sink where it blew a strip the porcelain off the cast iron sink and damaged the cast iron drain pipe on it’s way to the ground. It took the path of least resistance with its main flow of current. It also popped the lightbulb in the barn starting a fire. If you apply 100 volts to two resistors in parallel, one of high resistance, say 100,000 ohms, and the other of low resistance, say 10 ohms, almost all of the current, 10 amps, will pass through the 10 ohm resistor. And 0.001 amps will pass through the 100,000 ohm resistor.

    • @brent0
      @brent0 День назад

      @@fanman421 when lighting hits it also will take every availing path but the voltage is so high that at some points the isolation fails. That’s why it looks like it only takes one or two paths. If there was no isolation well then we would see a much more even current distribution

    Cool stuff! A bit scary though ngl... :) I am surprised that your compressor pump can handle H2. How come hydrogen embrittlement is not an issue there? What type is it? Also why not use graphite electrodes instead? (i.e. salvaged from used AA batteries, like some guys on youtube do) No toxic waste that way. Oxyhydrogen welding is one example for the use of your H2 and O2 gases, not just for "really small scale" torch. It also seems popular on yt.

    Out of respect, I want to note some of my ideas came to my mind while watching: -Could use excessive dripping water in AC to use as evaporative cooler on the condenser side, to further increase the efficiency of an AC unit -Might use a bicycle or football needle-valve inside a tube as a junk alternative for evaporator tubing Last but not least, I'm an electrical engineer, and can't help but thinking about this project: +For AC units average COP=3 (mine is R134a), which means it uses say 500w electrical power gives д-heat of 1500w. +ThermoElectric Coolers (TEC Peltier) have written efficiency of 50%. Then; If you made a special evoporator from silver-plated copper, that'd touch to TEC, finely grinded (5000 fine sand for ex) and liquid metal as thermal paste to further increase the efficiency, you'd have a reactor that uses 500w compressor, gives 1500w д-heat, and peltier would generate 750w in theory.

      Ah my bad, I though 400K, just checked that it's 400°C on Venusian surface. But that's the average so it's still plausible idea. They also found phosphine traces on the atmosphere there few years ago.
