  • Anybody else hear the Wii music?

  • it's called an alchemical reaction, dude.

  • that is not gold that is a chemical reaction.

  • @icewashu dude fucking read the description you jack ass.

  • holy crap that was awsume

  • Good job dude

  • Love Alchemy or Chemistry... Oh well!:)

  • ups hahahaha

  • The penny changed color because the copper that did remain had enough heat to mix in with the Zinc atoms and the levels of copper and zinc = brass. (Material Science Honors :D)

  • i hear a nintendo wii in the background :D

  • im going to have endless gold!

  • *ping*

  • I bet Edward Elric could turn it to REAL gold. . . :D

  • yay i got another top comment!

  • skyrim brought me here!

  • Keep in mind, using alchemy to turn things into gold is against the law as is a human transmutation. Think back to the mining town episode with Yoki. Oh Yoki.. XP

  • next i will make pseudoephedrine into methamphetamine.

  • Oh, Full Penny Alchemy.

  • *reading description*.. then if those penny aren't gold... there just yellow :( "How to turn penny yellow" Sound less interesting than gold :(

  • or was it sound effects o.O

  • @WebkinzLover1991 Sound effects xD

  • someone was playing the wii xD

  • wud be much faster w/ a transmutation circle

  • Real alchemy is not just turning things into gold. It is turning one element into another.

  • Meth Lab

  • Epic Fail

    

  • So...look I heard about alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist, but I had a time that I tried to learn more about alchemy and I FAIL :( and please if you guys know some about alchemy tell me! My name's Felipe Oryon

  • And? The cents i use are all golden

  • So electroplating is alchemy now?

  • Wii tone!!!

  • SCIENCE

  • NO ITS NOT

  • that chemistry , not alchemy

  • why are you wearing your backpack ?

  • Did anybody else notice the wii startup theme in the background?

  • @Neal225475 yes I did, reason he used it as his background songv is so unkown to me, some weird taste O.o

  • @Neal225475 yeah its annoying

  • Pretty sure this is illegal.

  • @izzyjane7 Not at all.

  • So many safety violations

  • nurdrage did it better

  • I'm in 7th grade, did that today. :D

  • i found this out in my room with a small oven and some spare time at my house

  • kewl

  • such a great song really.... it is :|

  • Looking at it scientifically, I'm pretty sure the alloy you created was brass. Copper and zinc.

  • Is that real gold or just a color?

  • I never would have heard of alchemy if it wasn't for FMA

  • @docilona1 Me nether.

  • its not gold < its just golden brown cuz  u cooked it properly... i can do that with a marshmello

  • I wanna take chemistry. 

  • Make sure you have the drain covered up before you put a penny in there, especially one that will turn to gold. ........ Damn I just read the description, I never really do!! XD

  • Make sure you have the drain covered up before you put a penny in there, especially one that will turn to gold.

  • Haha I know right? I only looked this up because I'm obssesed with Fullmetal Alchemist! LOVE YOU EDWARD!

  • @gerbilsrock55 , I like fma!

  • vote up if fma brought you here

  • @dragonman7629 HEY YEAH u guys we all love alchemy beocouse of FMA brotherhood , i gess were all really smart! :D haha!

  • the reason i looked up :"real alchemy" is because i was watchin' fma :3

  • usually i just clap my hands and shit happens

  • great editing! made it better then just a vid but, the music level around 3:30 is a bit loud.

  • IT'S NOT REAL GOLD!?!.... Represent Retards!

  • i hear wii ino cuz i have a red 1

    haha

  • it's not alchemy, this is chemistry

  • @nathanlovesjesus eh its alchemy too

  • @nathanlovesjesus alchemy is real i've studied it and done it!Just because alchemy is used in an anime doesn't mean it's fake.If it's that case then every thing is fake!

  • @galaxylove123 all right, then post a video of yourself doing it.

  • @nathanlovesjesus alright just dont expect me to do it with a transmutation circle or something like that and also alchemy is like chemistry but way older its like from the 12th centry and also i need time so no rushies!^^

  • Amazing science lab you got there. Get something to cover the drain and you'll be golden.

  • the teacher sounds bitchy and annoying

  • @spartan959595 yah but the basis it was built on failed epicly but it lead to the discovery of new elements and todays classical chemistry

  • to bad its not real gold but in the time period alchemy was thought to work it would have fooled any body then and possibly people now who dont know this trick

  • lol i never payed attention in science, i just fucked around trying to burn shit, i wish i did pay attention cause chemistry can be extreamly useful knoledge inb the real world.

  • isnt alchemy with a trabsmutation circle

  • @retardedgost no its not that only works in the show

  • @retardedgost No. Thats a cartoon.

  • I remember doing this lab a while back! It has something to do with redox reactions I think? (I didn't pay a whole lot of attention. . .)

  • Very cool trick! The pennies really do look like gold! Very interesting chemistry there. I assume it's still copper, as you said in your description that it is not really gold?

  • wow

    

  • 3:51  - WIN!

  • I love how you're playing epic game music the whole time. No, scratch that- I love it w_w

  • someones playing mario

  • ketchup works better

  • wow! WOW! wow!

  • does it ever change back into its regular color?

  • I totally remember doing this.

  • Is it a real gold

  • Alchemy is something i learned from watching FMA

  • @stupidjeloinc ive always knew alchemy and thats my favrote show

  • @stupidjeloinc huh.... so did i, but no matter how hard I clap, i cant do anything

  • @Jwadd10 lol, well first off youve gotta see whats behind THE DOOR

  • @stupidjeloinc You cannot gain one shiny penny without losing another one down the drain. That is the law of equivalent exchange... :P

  • @stupidjeloinc Im just saying as an alchemist yes the show is amazing but its not the same. you cannnot make something bigger than it is and its not like that...

  • isnt alchemy just the use of chemistry to do property changes to elements

  • @mlmlml13 yes.

  • dude what class is this??

  • stick your penis in their

  • @RunescapeFanMan11 you sick f@#$K

  • that is awsome to make a pennie gold oo wow that is away to awsome...so all your using is cemicals in sinesc class???? that is away to cool

  • wait a second...isnt this the music you get when you get to the wii home screen? o.o?

  • now that was pretty cool dude ^^'

  • Use a real copper penny next time and see what the color will be. They are real copper from 1980 and below. Anything above 1980 is copper plated nickel and aluminum. Just like the 1964 quarters and below are silver.

  • @spiritprofessor Actually the copper penny is 95% copper from early 1982 and before. A copper penny weighs 3.1grams and a zinc penny weigh 2.5 grams.Any penny made after mid 1982 and so on is 95% zinc.To tell if a 1982 penny is copper or zinc you will have to weigh the penny.

  • @MEELAHTARR Well I knew it was something like this, thank you for the correction, I appreciate it. Be well man.

  • @spiritprofessor UR WELCOME

  • lol everyone here is brought by FMA

  • NaOH is VERY harmful if it comes in contact with your skin... you guys definitely should have been using gloves.

  • Dude.BiiiiiNNNG !!! no offense but Biiiiinnggg !!! never ever use Biiiiiiinngggg that BINGGGG AGAIN !! you asshole... BiiinnGG !! >:(

  • i would just use spray paint o.0

  • If u changed the number of protons in it it would be real gold :P

  • Woe is the future of our world, when tards* like this take over . . . wtg nurdrage, you succeeded- 8/10of viewers at least said Wiiiiiii !

  • DO U GET 2 keep it

  • Is that the Wii menu in the background.

  • @MSCompuServ ya i thought i was trippin hahah

  • @MSCompuServ yes it is and if yo do nothing while listening to it you will kill a brain cell cause it comited suicide

  • "We never gonna pass this class" lol

  • so wait this may sound stupid but how did the metal hygroczide ingrediants or whatever know that you wanted to produce a penny?

  • OMG GOLD PENNY!!! LEVEL UP!!!

  • We got to do this in my science class last year. We also did one where we just left on the zinc coating and made it "silver"

  • sounds like the wii menu soundtrack going on in the background

  • @catra195 it is

  • dude you arnt turning the pennies to gold you are just doing electroplating and putting a thin new layer of metal (hense the silver) and then changed the color of the layer to a gold color (you also made it harder). I have gold and silver (it used to be silver but the layer of metal came off) pennies on the necklace im wearing right now. Its a cool abd fun science experement though.

  • science is cool

  • lmao "we're never gonna pass this class"

  • 0:43 NOW DRINK IT!

  • One question: Is it possible to get the same results as you did with "dentists' zinc"?

  • I found a far more effective and timely technique which produces the same results. First, go to a hardware store and pick up a can of gold paint. Second, place the penny on some newspaper. Finally, spray the paint on the penny, and there you go, you have a real gold penny. I prefer to paint my pennies red, and I call them "rose pennies." My logic is that roses are red, and my penny is now red, so it must be a rose penny.

  • @Howsonify FTW

  • at 2:08, its not real coin.... the back is a penny while the front is a nickel

  • one of the closest things to gold is lead which is just off by a couple of protons. it takes MASSIVE amounts of energy to get gold out of it. I doubt a flame could supply that kind of energy. ¬¬

  • ya stupid for saying thats retarted science experiment is alchemy but the fact that they are handling sodium hydroxide without gloves says much about that school "you are a qaulity person" not a quality teacher.

  • its not alchemy without a transmutation circle and thats not alchemy its regular sience and if you have the right chemicals you can do that i have done it and its very esay its called chemestry get that through your thick heads

  • @AxelDemyxZexion1 there are differant versions of alchemy... the version in fma are toatlly not real.... real alchemy is turning metal into a differant metal... like turning brass to gold of silver in this cass... so in my opinion your the one that needs to get some knowlege thought your think head..... that is if it fits in that tiny brain of yours

  • @rubyriaroo Actually, I think for alchemy you have you have all the material present, hence equivalent exchange. You can't just automatically turn silver to gold, you have to have all the components of gold present and enough of it.

    At least... I think....

  • @Milkshakethecat you have to have a certain amount of heat and/ or pressure. in folk tales and shows you can use magic or what they use in FMA, by that way do u know what FMA is? it's a show

  • @rubyriaroo -.- I'm obsessed with FMA... I don't think you understand what I am saying. There is no magic in FMA, per say. Although we cant do the things they do in that show, there is more logic than just "poof" something turned into something else. Alchemy has three major parts, Analyzing (Know what elements and such) Deconstructing, and reconstructing. There is no magic, because you can only use the materials present. A Philosophers Stone is what you could consider magic...

  • @Milkshakethecat i have seen FMA too, just so you know, and i didn't mean they use magic in fma

  • @rubyriaroo well me and my friends attempted alchemy from fma and it worked we have researched alot abouot it and it is real so don't tell me that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Real alchemy is devil's work.

  • @9899brad then i guess you have no idea what it really is...

  • Alchemy without a Transmutation circle!?

  • @IDrawStuffs Must have seen the truth xD

  • WOW a Silver, Gold Penny!

  • Thumbs up for Metroid Prime Save Room Music at the start of the video.

  • where is the tranmutation circle

  • Fun video! Great editing and sound work.

    Nicely done.

  • to answer only work on copper or lead..its only changeing the color not mass.or compounds...

  • You kind of over did the sound effects

  • What grade do you learn this in

  • lmao "we're never gonna pass this class" sounds like me

  • I want to be in your chemistry class

    D:

  • ya for chemical changes

  • you look like shaggy

  • @BrianGumball would this work on quarters

  • wii menu music adds a nice touch...

  • those goggles wont protect you if "something" explodes

  • No offense, but why have your comment explain how you're stupid if you think it's real, and then include all kinds of keywords to trick morons who believe in alchemy?

    It's incredibly depressing to meet these people who seem to think that alchemy is genuine.

    

  • This is the same way you make meth

  • @pimpnprofits yea thnx cuz little kids all jus need 2 watch this and "hey lets make meth!" nice one tard

  • you could get at least five bucks from a sucker on the street for these...

    set up a stall and say they are a rare collector's penny minted in whatever year the penny is from, made entirely from gold... just make sure it is a torist area and you couldn't go wrong,

    (con artist)

  • sumone in the backround sounds like vickie guerrero

  • a penny with a zinc coating.......same thing as applying chrome to something

  • Someone obviously had to bring over their Wii to chemestry class.

  • C===============8 yes thats a penis

  • You didnt have to call it crap...

  • I wonder if back then some people made metal into gold and tricked some people into thinking it was real gold 0.o

  • i like the last song. jamiroquai is the best jazz band.

  • if you swallow the zinc filings along with the brass penny, you will shit out a gold one.

  • it sounds like the pocket tanks song

  • I haven't taken any chemistry, but I have worked a bit in jewelry making and I am guessing the penny is coated by the filings becasue the copper causes an electric charge in the acid which in turn is disolving the filings enough to transfer filing metal to the penny. I don't know what the rapid cooling is about, but I am sure the subsequent heating under a flame is the oxidation that causes the gold color. I would really like to know what actually happens though.

  • not to say anything mean but i dont really think this is even in the catagory of alchemy are you learning something different than me?

  • @animeisthecoolest Umm this is basic alchemy real alchemy is not magic or magic potions of power lol its changing metal in different ways and creating herb related things. Nothing like the FMA crap

  • @talkron300 No. Alchemy was the belief that you could change metals into other metals in the middle ages. People spent tons of time trying to change all kinds of metals into gold. There is no such thing as "real alchemy". There are a bunch of really stupid books, morons, and websites made by science class dropouts who claim that alchemy is actually some new age herbal nonsense, but guess what.. It's bullshit. Stay in school kids, you won't make a fool of yourself by taking alchemy seriously.
