I'd use a high energy centrifuge made from lithium steel with a hole in the center to allow the expanding impurities to escape. Completely energy conservative.
cars dont need to be light, cars are light enough, downforce adds weight via air pressure, cars need weight for traction so they stick to the road. lighter isnt always better, have a read of TopGears interview with the japanese designer of the R35
@TehWingman69 I think you are confusing mass with weight. A car with more mass needs to use more energy to accellerate at the same rate as a car with less mass, even in zero gravity (where both cars have zero weight). A car with more mass has more inertia, so when it turns a corner, its tyres must provide more traction than for a car with less mass, again even in zero gravity. Lighter cars don't need as much traction. Lighter isn't always better, but it usually is.
Titanium is really useful for making frames for bicycles, … especially for use where streets are salted in cities and over usage of automobiles creates a waste of space problem. Saves a lot of fuel too! :)
@shadowjsw Google Translate tells me that the title of the strange periodic table is in Catalan, which is spoken on the Mediterranean coast of Spain and surrounding areas. My bet is that the Professor or one of his colleagues picked it up when they were on holiday!
Why does the table that shows the amount of an element on earth show Francium (Fr) so large compared to some of the other elements there? I'd expect Francium to be very small.
@jocob30 wondered about that myself when I looked at Astatine.Note that he said the "relative amount of this element that is found on the earth". So if 1g francium exists, much of it is found on the earth. That's how I interpret it at least ^^

The guys' voice compells you to understand better and to feel interested for these videos (both, the professor's and the chubby guy's [sorry, I don't know his name])
@jaedcapo Once while watching these, I got the zany comedic idea about how we need vitamins and minerals, and being in compounds, foods and such, we are safe in consuming them. Then, I thought of the far, farcical end of it, compounds not existing so you have to take your minerals straight, and endure the explosions that ensue as they're swallowed. Thank god for Potassium compounds is all I can say about that. Yes, it was late & I was very tired when I thought of this & I couldn't stop laughing.
I actually didn't know much of titanium and i was always interested in why people found it so useful. Thank you very much for this explanatory video. It was very informative!
Titanium is also used to make piercing jewlery because you can get all the scratches out where the body could stick to . it is also used because it is light and much stronger than steel thus preventing closing balls to fall off
isn't it quite flexible?(the titanium) because i had a pair of glasses whose frame was from titamium(at least that's what i was said) and they were indeed light but also very flexible.
i thought carbon-fiber was also very rigid but i now hear that with a technique,they can make it flexibe,too.
"I'm making a sodium boat with potassium oars." this would be along the lines of making sodium using lithium, by relying on the higher reducing potential of the lithium? and oars of coarse being ores.
Ive seen titanium in its metal form in fairly large quantities My brother needed to get his left leg lengthen by 2 inches because he was born with different length of feet (which could damage his spine over the years). So at around age 18 he went for surgery and received an apparatus known as "Ilizarov fixator". It had several large rings around the operated foot with several large and small metal barbs holding the bones in place. The fixator pulled the bones forcing them to fill the gap
this definately is a stupid question, but I wonder if Titanum, if brought into shape of a medieval Plate Armour, would fare as good as Steel. I take it it would definately be much lighter.
@LutzDerLurch It would have to be much, much thicker, though. Steel is still unsurpassed in terms of strength, especially strength per volume. It is just that titanium alloys can be stronger per weight. Also, steel swords would still cut through your shiny titanium armor.
Thank you...I knew there was something that would ruin the effekt. I always thought would be stronger than Steel. Never thought, though, that this meant strength per weight x.x Thanks a lot for the Info,
Cool video, thanks. What exactly determines the "strength" of metal/compound/material? I remember from the school: metalic bonds between different types of metal are pretty much the same - some regular lattice and cloud of free electrons around nodes (atoms). What's the exact quality in such a picture that distinguish e.g. Alluminium from Titanium, the thing that makes TItanium stronger then Alluminium? I think this topic could make another fine video.
Another interesting application of titanium dioxide is in the reproduction of photosynthesis where it is used as an electron donor instead of chlorophyll as far as I know.
Speaking of photosynthesis, a video that gives a small view in this probably most important reaction in the world would be great.
With a hip replacement, since Titanium is non-magnetic like the Professor said, it allows it to be MRI and CT compatible. Thus another benefit for having Titanium used for making orthopedic devices.
Another application is in nitinol or nickel-titanium alloy wires and springs which is of great importance as a memory metal used in medicine. It can be deformed into any shape but upon warming, it returns to its original preset shape.
Titanium metal can also be obtained from TiO2 using the thermite reaction, that is, aluminium powder + TiO2 plus sodium fluoride to prevent the oxidation of hot Ti metal in air.
I have a titanium ring and just with a little hot water it will heat up really fast.. but i can't feel it when its inside the water but when i take my hand out i have to immidiately take the ring off or it'll burn like crazy
i use titanium for eating utensils when i go on deep woods backpacking trips that last several days. it's great stuff, super light which is great when your carrying it on your back and super durable which is great when you are hard on your gear like i am
I would assume since Titanium is also good for implants because if you ever have an MRI at a hospital with your implant you don't have to worry about your implant causing issues.
There was a huge titanium craze for making bike frames (especially mountain bikes) 20 years ago. My father bought me a Kona "Hei Hei" around 20 years ago. I have gone through a few bikes since, but STILL ride that Kona often.
It may be my favourite bike for both sentimental and performance reasons. It will last forever... unless I crash and need a new hip. Then it's getting melted down and going in me.
Another great vid - I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR LATEST UPLOAD!!!
Even if the paint isn't white, it probably contains titanium dioxide to make the paint opaque. When you buy water-based paint at the store the base is a white titanium oxide opacifier in a medium like latex or vinyl (in CA oil-based paints are no longer sold because of hydrocarbon emissions) and the color is added to that white base.
@osp80 I'm not even close to being a chemist or chem-geek, but I saw it all - it's fascinating to learn how this fancy aerospace metal has everyday applications like in a plastic bucket. Geez, I'd like to have had the Professor as my Chemist teacher at high school; I barely passed those and the coolest thing I manage is neutralizing chlorine with chloride acid :(
Also used in candy, like when you have a chocolate covered with a caramell paint you need a layer of titanium (di?)oxide to make it stick to the chocolate :)
Some titanium deposites are actually impacts of meteorites with high Ti.
Is it a good idea making cars out of it? I thought cars were designed deliberately to crumple to take the force of impact. Also, the pedestrians (and other vehicles) are less likely to survive a crash if the car is made of a stronger material.
@Clairenna It's still possible to construct a "crumple zone" out of titanium. As for a car hitting a pedestrian, a steel car has a greater mass than a titanium car. The pedestrian is in trouble either way, but is likely to be hurt worse by a heavier (i.e. steel) car.
My main criticism of lighter cars is that they skid more easily, but (other than training drivers and teaching pedestrians) there is no way to make cars safe. At least lighter cars save fuel.
Are we ever going to run out of titanium if we keep wasting it as catalysts? What happens then? Are we going to try to recycle Titantium out of the rubbish heaps when that happens? I'm surprised it's is so abundant in white paint... that's a LOT of titanium.
@ionParallax The Earth had to do the same thing back when it was being pelted with meteors. :P Point being elements don't go away so easily. We may make them hard to get to, but they'll still be around.
@ionParallax We'll have conquered other solar systems long before all the titanium on Earth runs out. We will be digging through dumps to get the plastic to melt down and re-use once all the oil runs out though.
Oxygen isn't found just in the atmosphere. It's very abundant in compounds, and especially in oxides. Nitrogen is very abundant in the gaseous form hence the atmospheric abundance.
I wonder if Titanium would be more resistant to road salt. (For vehicles). Another fascinating video! And I really like the 'proportional' periodic table.
@Busterlanger1 Nitrogen is pretty unreactive and hangs in the air. Oxygen is really reactive and forms tons of different compounds, so a lot of it is sequestered in the earth and in the oceans.
He looks like a troll doll..

I already knew a lot about titanium, but these videos never fail to be interesting and fun to watch.

It's edible! Powdered 'sugar' on doughnuts contains titanium dioxide for coloring.

Are we ever going to run out of titanium if we keep wasting it as catalysts? What happens then? Are we going to try to recycle Titantium out of the rubbish heaps when that happens? I'm surprised it's is so abundant in white paint... that's a LOT of titanium.

@ionParallax Well, in reality, if nothing were ever recovered from garbage, we'd eventually run out of everything.

@OOZ662 But we burn and/or bury them, that's a heck of a recycling job. * imagines distillating a hundred elements from melted incinerator ash *

@ionParallax The Earth had to do the same thing back when it was being pelted with meteors. :P Point being elements don't go away so easily. We may make them hard to get to, but they'll still be around.

@ionParallax We'll have conquered other solar systems long before all the titanium on Earth runs out. We will be digging through dumps to get the plastic to melt down and re-use once all the oil runs out though.

Oxygen isn't found just in the atmosphere. It's very abundant in compounds, and especially in oxides. Nitrogen is very abundant in the gaseous form hence the atmospheric abundance.

@Deathdome9 Ah yes that makes sense. Thanks.

I wonder if Titanium would be more resistant to road salt. (For vehicles). Another fascinating video! And I really like the 'proportional' periodic table.

I thought the earth's atmosphere was something like 70% nitrogen. Why isn't there a larger abundance than oxygen.
Busterlanger1 7 months ago
@Busterlanger1 Nitrogen is pretty unreactive and hangs in the air. Oxygen is really reactive and forms tons of different compounds, so a lot of it is sequestered in the earth and in the oceans.
