hi everyone welcome back to Cody's lab
hi everyone, welcome back to Cody's Lab
so over here in the background you can see a bottle of deuterium oxide or
so over here in the background you can see a bottle of Deuterium Oxide
otherwise known as heavy water deuterium
or, otherwise known as "heavy water"
is basically the same as hydrogen but instead of just being a proton it also
deuterium is basically the same as hydrogen, but instead of just being a proton, it also contains a neutron
contains a neutron the neutron doesn't change its chemical reactivity all that
the neutron doesn't change its chemical reactivity all that much
much but it does about double the mass
but it does about double the mass of the atom
of the atom and when you make water using pure deuterium it makes it
and when you make water using pure deuterium, it makes it slightly heavier
slightly heavier by about 10% which
by about 10%
means you could actually get an ice cube made of frozen heavy water and it will sink in normal water now I recently
which means you could actually get an ice cube made of frozen "heavy water" and it will sink in normal water
purchased this because back when I was
now, I recently purchased this because
isolating heavy water on my own I
back when I was isolating heavy water on my own,
eventually isolated a sample which I believe was relatively pure heavy water
I eventually isolated a sample which I believe was relatively pure heavy water
and I ended up tasting it hopefully it's
and I ended up tasting it
not salty and also heavy water is supposed to taste slightly sweet so
hopefully it's not salty, and also, heavy water is supposed to taste slightly sweet
let's go ahead and get a taste of that [Music]
so let's go ahead and get a taste of that
that was not salty and it does taste a
Well, it's not salty!
little bit sweet now I'm not entirely
and, it does taste a little bit sweet!
sure if it tasted sweet because heavy water intrinsically tastes sweet as I've
now, I'm not entirely sure if it tasted sweet because heavy water intrisically tastes sweet
heard from many people or if it was the fact that the lead electrodes I was using to electrolyze the water to purify it into heavy water was a contaminant
as I've heard from many people, or if, it was the fact that the lead electrodes that I was using to electrolyze the water to purify it into heavy water was a contaminant and I was tasting the sugar of Lead
and I was tasting the sugar of lead
which is not particularly good but the
which, is not particularly good
amount I got was obviously not enough to
but, the amount I got was obviously not enough to give any sort of poisoning
give me sort of poisoning also I plan to do some neutron activation experiments
also I plan to do some neutron activation experiments, and
and heavy water is the best thing you can possibly have to slow down neutrons
heavy water is the best thing you can possibly have to slow down neutrons
and in order to produce this quantity it would take me literally years so I
and in order to produce this quantity it would take me literally years.
figured I'd save a little bit time and
so I figured I would save a little bit of time and
get a little bit extra so that I can produce those videos sooner but main
get a little bit extra so I can produce those videos sooner but;
purpose of this video is I would like to
the main purpose of this video is I would like to taste this
taste this and see if it actually does taste the same as what I had originally
and see if it actually does taste the same as what I had originally produced.
produced so I'm opening this for the first time here this bottle looks very
so I'm opening this, for the first time here, this bottle looks very nice.
nice I almost hate to even open it but
I almost hate to even open it
yeah I really want to know what it
but, I really wanna know what it tastes like.
tastes like so let's crack this seal and open this heavy
so lets crack this seal
water now heavy water is technically
and open this heavy water now, heavy water is technically toxic.
toxic but only in large quantities you
but only in large quantities
see heavy water deuterium oxide does form naturally normally deuterium is
you see, heavy water, deuterium oxide, does form naturally.
very rare existing only about one in every six or seven thousand hydrogen
Normally deuterium is very rare existing only about 1 in every 6 or 7 thousand hydrogen atoms.
atoms which means this tank behind me would contain roughly twenty milliliters worth of heavy water it's only if you
which means this tank behind me would contain roughly 20mL worth of heavy water.
replace more than about 20 percent of
Its only if you replace more than
the water in your body with heavy water
about twenty percent of the water in your body with heavy water
before it started becoming toxic because
before it starts becoming toxic
the deuterium the heavy hydrogen the
because the deuterium the heavy hydrogen
chemical reactions happen a little bit
chemical reactions
slower and so if you get too much of it
happen a little bit slower
chemical reactions your body may not
and so if you get too much of it
work properly
chemical reactions in your body may not work properly
so that's a get me a little drinking cup
so, let's get me a little drinking cup
here how about a fresh test-tube so I
here how about a fresh test tube
got my clean test tube here let's take
so I got my clean test tube here
some of this heavy water and pour it in
lets take some of this heavy water
let's take about the a much that looks like five milliliters or so okay so now
and pour it in let's take about yey much, that looks like 5ml or so?
okay
I know though you guys may ask if heavy
so now, I know a lot of you guys may ask if heavy water is radioactive
water is radioactive and it is not even
and it is not
though if it was the radiation probably wouldn't make it through the glass but
even though if it was, the radiation probably wouldn't make it through the glass but
this heavy water has not been in a reactor so I wouldn't expect it to be radioactive anyway it may contain a
this heavy water has not been in a reactor so I wouldn't expect it to be radioactive anyway.
little bit extra tritium than normal
It may contain a little bit extra tritium than normal water would
water would because the concentration
because
process would probably also concentrate
the concentration process would probably also concentrate the tritium
the tritium but the amounts that are here are still negligible so I'm not
but the amounts that are here are still negligible,
really worried about radiation from it
so, I'm not really worried about radiation from it.
tritium is hydrogen just like deuterium
tritium is hydrogen just like deuterium is
is but instead of just one extra Neutron
but instead of just one extra neutron
it has two extra neutrons so there's
it has two extra neutrons so there's
three different nucleons in the nucleus
three different nucleons in the nucleus
of the atom this is why they call it
of the atom which is why they call it
tritium three tritium is radioactive in fact it's very radioactive I have some
tritium for "three" tritium is radioactive, in fact it's very radioactive
little phosphor coated glass tubes that
I have some little phosphor coated glass tubes that have
have some tritium gas inside of them and
some tritium gas inside of them and
that's what I used in the intro to this
that's what I used in the intro to this video
video the radiation actually makes them
the radiation actually makes them
produce light which is pretty awesome
produce light which is pretty awesome
they'll smell smells just like water
the smell smells just like water
there's no real difference there it's
there's no real difference there
not significantly heavy enough that I
it's not significantly heavy enough that
can tell any difference from sloshing
I could tell any difference from
around so let's give it a taste
sloshing around so let's give it a taste
where actually does taste sweet and
okay it actually does taste sweet
about the same as that sample that I had
and about the same as that sample that I had back
back when I was isolating it myself
when I was isolating it myself
that's a good sign that means it wasn't
that's a good sign it means it wasn't actually lead
actually led that's cool
that's cool
and water does taste a little bit sweet
the water does taste a little bit sweet
it's almost like you know how I like hay or grass the the sweetness if you take
it's almost like you know how hay or grass the sweetness
some of that and chew on it it's almost
if you take some of that and chew on it
like that it's got like that slight
it's almost like that
musky flavor to it as well now that's
it's got, like, that slight musky flavor to it as well
interesting so I've roughly doubled my concentration of deuterium in my body
well that's interesting so I've roughly doubled my concentration of deuterium in my body
which shouldn't be harmful at all like I
which shouldn't be harmful at all
said before that even if I drank this
like I said before that even if I drink this
entire thing I would likely still be
entire thing I would likely still be
completely fine that was roughly hmm 510
completely fine that was roughly
dollars worth of deuterium oxide I drank
five or ten dollars worth of deuterium oxide I drank there
there so it's not super expensive but
so it's not super expensive, but it's still
it's still you know an entire bottle
you know
cost over $100 okay so here I am 24
an entire bottle cost over a hundred dollars ok so here i am 24 hours later and
hours later and obviously I'm not dead
obviously I'm not dead
in fact I've been doing quite well I
in fact I been doing quite well I
haven't exhibited any signs of radiation
haven't exhibited any signs of radiation
poisoning or anything like that so I
poisoning or anything like that so I
think I'm good one thing I have been
think I'm good one thing I have been
doing is I've been saving my urine
doing is I've been saving my urine
because it will contain the higher
because it will contain a higher
concentration of deuterium probably for
concentration of deuterium probably for
the next week or so and I thought I may
the next week or so and I thought I
as well save it I'll probably add
might as well save it I'll probably
distill it off and add it to my
distill it off and add it to my
electrolyzer if I ever tried to produce
electrolyzer if I ever tried to produce
massive amounts of hydrogen again so the
massive amounts of hydrogen again so the
heavy water had a very obvious sweet
heavy water had a very obvious sweet
taste to it the musky taste
taste to it the musty taste
that I mentioned is probably possibly
that i mentioned is probably possibly
due to the fact that this water has been
due to the fact this water has been
sitting in this jar for who knows how
sitting in this jar for who knows how
long and maybe has gone a little bit
long and maybe it's got a little bit
stagnant but it's definitely tasted
stagnant but it definitely tasted
sweet to me now the question is is that
sweet to me now the question is is that just like
just like some placebo effect you know I
some placebo effect
know how strong the placebo effect could
no I know how strong a placebo effect
be maybe it's because I heard that it
could be maybe it's because I heard that
was sweet and then when I tasted it's my
it was sweet and then my taste is my
brains just making it sweet so I'm going
brains just making it sweet so I'm gonna
to do a little test here so I have two
do a little test here so i have two test
test tubes one with heavy water and one
tubes one with heavy water and one was
with just normal distilled water now I'm
just normal distilled water now I'm
going to see if Canyon can tell them
going to see if Canyon can tell them
apart so Canyon want to come taste some of this tell which ones everywhere you sit over here I'm gonna I'm gonna hurt
apart so Canyon wanna come taste some of this - oh, alright see if you can tell which one's the heavy water, can you sit over there - over there
you're pregnant okay
- I'm gonna hurt your plant ok
okay so go into me just taste them don't
okay -so just taste them
tell don't drink and look at it just in case
[whispered] don't drink too much, just in case it's radioactive
good just in case it's radioactive huh
what? - just in case it's radioactive huh
all right and this tasted like water
- alright - well this tasted like water
yeah it is sweet and that's the heavy
- yeah that tastes sweet and that's the heavy water
water I got it right you did yeah so it
- I got it right? you did
does seem the heavy water does have a
so it does seem that heavy water does have a different taste to it
different taste to it the question is why why would it actually have a
the question is why why would it
different taste why would that be sweet
actually have a different taste why would that be sweet
it's your taste buds like have a diffusion like the water going in and
do your tastebuds have like have a diffusion like the water
out and it's slightly different with the
going in and out and it's slightly
heavy water because of the higher mask
different with the heavy water because
is really the only thing different is
of the higher mass? because is really the only
the mass of each particle so I don't
difference is the mass of each particle so
know man but it's definitely sweet so
- I don't know man but it's definitely sweet
it's definitely sweet huh so this means
so it's definitely sweet huh so this means that either heavy water is
that either heavy water is actually sweet or the source I got it from
actually sweet or the source i got it
somehow has a contamination that caused
from somehow has a contamination that
it to be sweet and it was the same with
causes very sweet and it was the same
both my process and the girder sulfide
with both my process and the
process so what led no the river sulfide
girdler-sulfide process - so what, lead no, they
process would it wouldn't have any lead
the girdler-sulfide process would it wouldn't
anywhere in the system at home but my
have any lead anywhere in the system
electrolysis did and led to think it's
but my electrolysis did and lead I think
the only thing that would be potentially
it's the only thing that would be
sweet so my guess is any water does
potentially sweet so my guess is
actually taste sweet
heavy water does actually tastes sweet
Kenyon had no idea which of these tubes
Canyon had no idea which of these tubes had the
had the heavy water but she was able to
heavy water but she was able to
determine which one it was almost
determine which one it was almost
immediately on tasting it so that tells
immediately on tasting it so that tells
me that heavy water does have some
me that heavy water does have some
difference in taste so I've tasted this
difference in taste so I've tasted this
a few more times and I've gotten a
a few more times and I've got a pretty
pretty good idea of how it tastes and it
good idea of how it tastes and it
definitely has a slight aftertaste to it
definitely has a slight aftertaste to it
which I didn't mention earlier and also
i didn't mention earlier and also it
it feels cold on my lips now at first I
feels cold on my lips now at first I
thought that was because it was actually
thought that was because it was actually
cold but now that I've compared it to
cold but now that I've compared it to
the just plain distilled water it didn't
the just plain distilled water it didn't
really have that it's a subtle
really have that it's a subtle
difference but it's still there the
difference but it's still there
coldness to it that that was kind of
the coldness to it that that was kind of
surprised me because I would expect it
surprised me because i would expect it
to be you know maybe feel even slightly
to be you maybe feel even slightly
warmer because it has a slower
warmer because it has a slower
evaporation you know it's the
evaporation you know it's the
evaporation that carries away energy and
evaporation that carries away energy and
makes it feel cold
makes it feel cold
but when I put some of this on my skin
but when i put some of this on my skin I
and I do the same with the normal water
do the same with the normal water and
and it blow on the back of my hand the
blow on the back of my hand
heavy water spot feels slightly colder
the heavy water spot feels slightly
now maybe this is also something in my
colder now maybe this is also something
head but I'm thinking that it's not and
in my head but I'm thinking that it's
I think I have theory as to why this
not and I think I have a theory as to
might be
why this might be you see heavy water
you see heavy water having higher mass per molecule it takes more energy to get
having higher mass per molecule it takes
it to evaporate so which you'd think
more energy to get it to evaporate which
would make it evaporate slower but
you'd think would make it evaporates
there's other things than just the vapor
slower but there's other things than
pressure that cause liquids to evaporate
just the vapor pressure that cause
such as surface area and how dry the air
liquid to evaporate such as surface area
around it is possibly if those two
and how dry the air around it is
effects are more significant it would
possibly if those two effects are more
make the evaporation rates about the
significant it would make the
same but the heavy water would be
evaporation rates about the same but the
carrying away more energy making it feel
heavy water would be carrying away
colder yeah just a another little thing
more energy making it feel colder yeah just another little thing I've
I've noticed from doing this experiment
noticed from doing this experiment
there's definitely a lot more research
there's definitely a lot more research
that could be done here and I'm frankly
that could be done here and I'm frankly
surprised it hasn't been done doing a
surprised it hasn't been done doing a
Google search on this I find very
google search on this I find very
conflicting results but yeah so I want
conflicting results but yeah so I want
to try one more experiment see I have a
to try one more experiment see I have a
nice tray here with some ice in it this
ice tray here with some ice in it
one is regular water ice normal tap
this one is regular water ice normal tap
water in fact and tastes just like ice
water in fact and tastes just like ice
should now this piece over here is some
should now this piece over here is some
heavy water ice so that's a still tastes
heavy water ice so that's a still taste
noticeably sweet doesn't seem to taste
noticeably sweet doesn't seem to taste
as sweet though it's almost like maybe
as sweet though it's almost like maybe
my sense of taste is dulled from the
my sense of taste is dulled from the cold
cold that's probably it actually tastes
probably it actually tastes rather good
rather good though okay so there you go
though ok so there you go
see they're both at their melting point
see they're both at their melting point
because I've held them out for a little
because I've held them out for a little while
while yeah Ice Cube feels very cold
yeah ice cube and feels very cold heavy
heavy water Ice Cube still feels cold
water ice cube still feels cold but
but maybe slightly warmer which would
maybe slightly warmer which would make
make sense this is interesting I can
sense this is interesting can actually touch
actually touch the ice with the deuterated so dry my fingers off now dad the deuterated water to my skin I'm
the ice with the deuterated so dry my fingers off and I add the deuterated water
going to touch this ice cube and it
to my skin I'm going to touch this ice
sticks right to it because the deuterium
cube and sticks right to it because the
free water freezes okay
deuterium free water freezes
so here's an ice cube at its melting
ok so here's an ice cube and its melting
point fingers off get some heavy water
point fingers off get some heavy water
going stick it to it normally it doesn't do that that's cool like that usually in
going stick to it normally it doesn't do that that's cool like that usually in order to get that
order to get that happen the ice cube
happen the ice cube has to be colder than
has to be colder than the melting point
the melting point but since it's at the
but since it's at the melting point it
melting point is colder than the melting
is colder than the melting point of the heavier water see if I do the same some normal water no result if I do this with
point of the heavy water if I do the same some normal water no result they
the heavy water freeze let's go of like
did it with the heavy water freeze
stick strongly to hope you all enjoyed
oh, that's cool, it sticks strongly too
I'll see you next time
hope y'all enjoyed I'll see you next time
