Diethyl Ether (and Heptane) from Starter Fluid
UPDATE: I did this again on a large scale and I found that a fractional column helps a lot. Heptane and ether don't like to separate.
Also, I distilled all of the heptane and there is an oil that is left over at the end. The heptane is therefore not pure if you don't distill it. Also, the heptane comes over at 89C instead of 98C
In this video I demonstrate a method to separate diethyl ether from starter fluid. It is very important that you do this in a very well ventilated area. Ether vapors can easily be ignited and it can cause dizziness and confusion if too much is breathed in.
I got the idea from this link: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=9747

the-microwave-plasma-mystery
Sometime last year, I got really interested in microwave plasma, which can be made from a lot of things like lit matches, aluminum foil or just some grapes. However, when I went searching for more info about it, I really couldn't find much of anything. There was also no explanation as to why it was yellow every time, regardless of what it was made from.
So, I decided to investigate this a little bit and try to get to the bottom of it.

In this video, vanillin is separated from vanilla sugar using methanol. In my opinion this method is easier than the other one, because it doesn't need DCM.

making-acetone-from-calcium-acetate
Hey guys, this video has been a long time coming. The acetone that we make here from calcium acetate isn't super pure and it is more as a proof of concept than anything. The yield also isn't super amazing.
I also just noticed that the last video has almost the same thumbnail...oops
RIP. Always remember the flask and the heating mantle.

converting-aspirin-pills-to-tylenol
This is a video that I've been meaning to make for a while. I think the idea of converting one drug to another is a pretty cool concept.
About a year ago, I made a series where I chemically converted Aspirin to Tylenol (aka acetaminophen, paracetamol, or APAP). The original series was spread out over several videos and was over 90 minutes long. It has a lot more detail, but it was a much bigger commitment to watch.

how-to-extract-caffeine-from-caffeine
Hello, everyone, this is the first time that I put up 2 videos at the same time!
In this video, we extract some caffeine from caffeine pills. I was not happy with my yield of caffeine in the previous videos, so I chose a better source. I managed to get 8.5g of nice clean caffeine!
This video is kind of linked to my other video tutorial on extractions.

ASPIR
aspirin-to-acetaminophen-part-6-of-6
This is the final part of the series, where the p-aminophenol is converted to the acetaminophen.
Using acetic anhydride, the p-aminophenol is going to be acetylated. The reaction is carried out in water at room temperature.
Acetic anhydride does react with water, but it happens slowly. By including an excess of acetic anhydride, we can assure that the acetylation goes to completion.

how-to-use-a-toaster-april-fool-s-joke
Hey guys, today we are back for another amazing video. In this one, I will be showing you how to use a toaster. I decided not to waste a piece of bread for the video though. A lot of people make a lot of mistakes when it comes to toast making, so I figured this would be a very useful video to make.
------------------------------
For those of you who didn't notice, this was an April Fool's joke. This video was made in 2007. A website paid me $4 a piece, to produce these terrible videos. I found it on a harddrive 2 years ago, and I have been waiting for a good time to post it every since. I lost most of them, but I still have a dozen of them. They are all horrible.
