(Mis)Adventures in Materials
This channel is mostly dedicated to sharing videos related to me messing around with materials including synthesis as well as applications. What is shown here are things that I do in my spare time for entertainment and is unrelated to my professional work which involves messing around with materials...
I will occasionally show things I am doing with electrical circuits and microcontrollers if they are entertaining enough.

@rpirensselaer that’s a pretty quantum computer you have there. I bet your materials engineering department makes good use of it.

Playing around with alloys. Right to left is steel, FeCu alloy about 70:30, and another FeCu alloy about 50:50.
Now, what’s the weirdest alloy I could make? Quazicrystals?

Funny enough, lignin from wood smells like… wood. Trying to see how to make a bio polymer out of this. Most interesting approach I’ve seen so far involves using an over the counter laxative. 🤔

What’s cooking? A new video on refractory materials. I’m testing how well diatomaceous earth works instead of ground perlite.

When they explicitly state it on the bottle you know it’s going to really smell bad.

Why am I slow to post videos? Well the rabbit holes I fall into tend to be pretty deep... I'm not even sure what I was looking up at first but here I am studying a 1913 book on distilling coal tar.
