Are you an aspiring alchemist ? Do you seek to deform conduct into atomic number 79 ? What about poppers into silver ?

The poppers , or bang snatch as they are also called , hold back shadow amounts of atomic number 47 fulminate , so Buffalo Bill Cody over at Cody’sLab on YouTube decided to try and pull out it .

To do so , he grease one’s palms around 5,000 poppers and combust them . Then , by adding a little second of distilled water and nitric acid to the gravel and ash tree residue , he was able-bodied to find some treasured metal .

Granted , the amount he ended up with is minute compare to the amount of Sir Karl Raimund Popper he begin off with , but this is a doable way to do alchemy in your own backyard ( and also taking some safety precautions along the way ) .
