There was one time when I put a mold filled with liquid water in a cold container and made solid water.
that sounds super dangerous!
Bottles of carbonated beverages can handle up to 150 psi. Semi truck tires are pressurized to 110 psi. Freezing water in a pop bottle can cause it to explode, think about that!
Extracted lsa from morning glory seeds in order to make my own knock-off lsd
I helped create life and It was orgasmic!
Orgasmic chemistry!
baking bread
This one is underrated. That shit is like college-level difficult
Weed science. Not complicated at all, but there’s so much bro science out there…
Liquid gas column extraction of organic compounds? I’m told that’s something you should definitely do outside!
Oh no… Mine is super basic… Flower, everclear, freezer, air fryer.
Alcohol isn’t that great as an organic solvent. Are you using the air fryer to evaporate? That must be a fair fire risk!
Butane on the other hand is a good organic solvent and will evaporate at room temperature (just don’t evaporate it in a room or near any heat source).
I’m happy with it - i feel like the extraction i get is pretty good for the ease and safety of my little setup. I’m not trying to make enough to sell, just mostly making cheezits and candies for friends. When i do have a lot to process i usually do a dry ice shake.
Eating.
I bake from scratch.
I’m surprised that nobody has done an extraction of organic/aromatic content in an oil/fat ? Have you never backed some “space cakes” ? I haven’t but I’ve seen people doing it, and it’s pretty advanced chemistry when you think well
Steel etching with Winsteard’s reagent. It is a bit dangerous because if done wrong it forms explosive dust. It was also long and tedious because the liquid must be near boiling and stirring so it evaporated quickly and has to be topped off and brought back to temperature often. The etch itself requires a long temper of a quenched sample and has an iterative process of etching and back-polishing to gradually remove surface roughness but leave the slightly deeper grain boundaries.
It took several hours of preparation and several hours of active work per sample and even then had a 50/50 success rate. I was professionally trained by a third party who learned this process from the person who perfected it, George Vander Voort.
For me it has been etching circuit boards and specifically making my own liquid tinning solution at one point. I mostly do hydrochloric acid/hydrogen peroxide on larger stuff and ferric chloride on smaller prototypes.
retrobrite of my fridge handles. hydrogen peroxide and uv light to remove yellowing

hahah, much less explosive. It’s a slow burn
Pop Rocks, mouth, coca cola.
Extracted lidocaine from butt lube.
Probably something using dihydrogen monoxide as a solvent for a mixture of organic compounds
