Wow, great work. But it would have been better if you listed the ingredients in grams/litres or ml/litters.

If we already knew the process we wouldn’t need to watch, so why not give some actual instructions, instead of modeling the materials like it’s a game show?

Thank you for your creativity! I love watching your videos! They’re informative, without any unnecessary information. Your work should be included in educational programs!) So that children become interested in science! Greetings from St. Petersburg!

Would have been quicker to provide a list of ingredients that were NOT in your solution.

What is that giant sheet of cathode(or maybe it was anode) material you are using in the side of the tank?

I've already ordered all the necessary reagents and will soon be running the experiment according to your recipe.😊 The only difference is that I'll be using a nickel plate instead of a graphite anode.
