Next video extracting anti matter from ant semen.

If this guy suddenly stops posting one day, you know why.

You know it’s Cody’sLab when he has to worry about the military doing it first.

Can you do a tutorial on how to set up the spoon?

[kieranodea]

You need to use more water Cody, half of the plant matter should be soaked with water. It looks pretty dry in you bottom flask. Also try blending your plant matter for a better yield.

Missed title opportunity: Making Jet Fuel from Weed

[doubledarefan]

Cody could almost build an actual jet (and fuel it, too) from raw materials found on his own property.

If you're smelling gumweed in the room where it wasn't before, then you're boiling it out the top.

"So i've got a spoon set up here". What a god. Where did he learn to set up a spoon so efficiently?

[HankHill]

Amazing renewable fuel it’s kind of like propane but it’s a liquid not a gas oh how I love the smell of propane and propane accessories

[Zach-wlkb]

Every science class I’ve ever been in:

“never taste the experiments”


Cody’s Lab:

“I’m going to taste it”

Me: A spoon
Cody, an intellectual: 5:25 "A spoon setup"

That stuff would make a good lamp fuel from how it burns.

[Draakdarkmaster]

it burns for a long time and very cleanly, seems to me it'd make a very good low octane fuel for some kind of generator, to reduce fuel upkeep

[gamingscientist]

Sounds like a breeding experiment is in order. Breed a strain of the plant that produces a heavy amount of oil, thereby improving your output yield. After that, it's just a matter of improving your distillation apparatus. Might be able to produce a viable product.

Cody don't stop because you saw an article, there is a huge difference between a proof of concept for running a car on weed or vs a jet on said weed oil. If the US Mil thought the plant had so much potential I think you should expand your testing.

[christopyper]

I love how Cody refers to the ranch as his backyard

[ipkandskill]

I would be interested in seeing some test applications of this. Say in a small 2 stroke engine, maybe a small model rocket. Things like that, I'm sure you have other ideas for things that could works as fuel. It could be an interesting series if that's something your interested in.

[t.b.d]

perhaps if the plant was crushed instead of cut it could yield more oil.
