5300 Homemade Dominoes

My brother Steve and I hand-cut and hand-painted 5,292 wooden dominoes plus some bigger-sized blocks after efforts to find large amounts of professional quality toppling dominoes fell short. This is the result of about $100 worth of materials and a whole lot of man-hours.

We were happy with the outcome. We tried several new stunts and although one of them failed to trigger, the course never needed to be restarted.

For close-up photos of key stunts and explanations on how they work,

Turn Pennies Silver and Gold (Chemistry Trick)

n this video we turn copper pennies into silver and finally to gold.
Obviously it's a chemistry trick but still impressive.

First we get 30g of zinc sulfate and dissolve it into 100mL of water.

Zinc sulfate was made back in our video on making a copper sulfate and
zinc battery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id3tL2...

If you don't have zinc sulfate or can't make it, you can also use zinc chloride. This can be made by simply mixing hydrochloric acid with zinc metal and waiting until the fizzing stops.

Then we drop in several cut strips of zinc metal.

Zinc metal was obtained from our video on getting useful materials from batteries: http://www.youtube.com/watch#%21v=knc...

The solution is heated to a boil and copper pennies, that have been thoroughly washed/cleaned, are dropped in. They must touch the zinc in order for this reaction to work. Leave it in for five to ten minutes.

The zinc metal dissolves and releases electrons that go into the copper and give it a negative charge. The zinc ions in solution now redeposit form a thin layer of zinc metal. Giving the coin a silvery color.

Now the smart physical chemist might wonder how this can possibly work. Overall we're going from zinc metal to zinc metal and at first it seems like we're missing something about thermodynamics. What is the driving force? I've searched the literature and there doesn't seem to be a consensus among scientists, some claim it's a surface free energy issue with zinc having a lower potential on copper than in free solution (at high concentration). Others state that its an alloy of zinc metal and copper on the surface. The silvery color you're seeing on the penny is actually a type of white brass, not pure zinc. This is thermodynamically more favorable than pure separate metals and thus serves as the driving force.

Anyway, whatever the specific chemical reason, we've now deposited zinc onto copper.

The most amazing trick is to turn it into gold. Simply wash the coin and place it on a hotplate heated to about 300 Celsius. As it heats the zinc will diffuse into the copper, forming brass on the surface that looks like gold.

Eventually it will wear off but the results are rather impressive.

How to Scrap Old Computers ☀ Gold & Silver Recovery

How and what to scrap in old computers for metals recovery, this video present the dismantling and basic seperation of the different scrap types contained in old computer.

- Motherboard + CPU
- PCI cards
- RAM sticks (memory)
- CD-Rom
- Floppy
- Hard Drive
- Power Supply Unit (PSU)
- IDE and other cables

Seperating your scrap almost always results in maximizing the return on your scrap electronics and gives you better knowledge and control when it's time to sell it.

Electronic scrap hold different type of components which contains Gold, Silver and Platinum Group Metals. Some are very easy to recover and some are very complex process. " Gold Fingers" and CPU's are the best type of scrap for a beginner to learn the craft of gold recovery.

========================================
­===

I have made this short list for US citizens who wants to sell scrap electronics. You can contact these following scrap buyers:

Gold Chip Buyer - http://tinyurl.com/cozy8mk
Relectrocycle - http://tinyurl.com/8vanc32
CashforComputerScrap - http://tinyurl.com/92daohe
Mike, South Eastern Ohio - (740)350-1272

I have hand picked these scrap buyer as i know they are very honest and stright forward.
I did not receive any incentive nor will i receive any future commision from these scrap buyers. I'm happy to put their links here as i believe they are trustworthy and will treat you fairly.
