hey guys I’m hanging out at the Oregon
coast today I got my wife with me and we
are here doing an experiment with ocean
water as we all know ocean water is
saltwater the question is can you
extract salt from the water we’re about
to find out and the temperature of the
water here today is only about 55
degrees Fahrenheit which is way too cold
to go swimming but we’re actually here
just to get the salt water itself and
according to the internet only about
three and a half percent of the salt
water is salt itself that means if you
were to take about one cubic mile of
salt water and let all the water
evaporate off you’d still be left with a
hundred and twenty million tons of sea
salt I want to do an experiment for a
couple years where I take salt water and
just let the water evaporate and see if
we can get salt left over theoretically
it should work now we went down to the
super Center this morning I picked up a
one gallon container while we fill this
thing up with seawater should be so
around eight pounds heavy now here’s the
crazy thing
out of gate County water only about a
hundred twenty seven grams of that is
actually going to be steep though so
that’s our question today how much you
thought will we get out of one gallon of
seawater
that’s all ready to find out guys this
water is super super cold it’s going
like 50 to 55 Fahrenheit which is a lot
closer to freezing than we want it to be
oh man we’re trying to get out a little
bit further so we don’t get all the
stand turning up in it
all right beautiful our one gallon of
seawater guys how does that feel how
heavy is that feels fairly heavy that
should be somewhere around 8 to 10
pounds of seawater got them out like a
baby about like a baby a newborn baby
which we may be having next year put out
of that 8 pounds of sea water somewhere
only around 130 grams of sea salt it’s
actually diluted in there Oh what do you
find we caught it a jelly taster like a
baby something oh wow wow we did we got
a jellyfish he’s right there guys can
you see that
we caught a little baby jellyfish and we
didn’t even know it we’re going to let
the little jellyfish go back in the
ocean but we’re going to do another
scoop of seawater
that’s what I call catching away nicely
done baby let’s take it in whoo we
caught 8 pounds of seawater or somewhere
on there here clear why
no see life no jellyfish in this one now
of course you know seawater is not
drinkable because of all the salt in it
by drinking salt water you’ll actually
kind of dehydrate yourself and your
organs will start shutting down so salt
as good as it is it can actually be very
harmful you cannot drink this water but
if we boil off the water or let it
evaporate we’ll be left with a substance
at the bottom that theoretical you’ll be
sea salt right now looks like we got a
little bit of sand in there we’re gonna
have to filter that off before we do
anything so cool so we get our seawater
from the Oregon coast let’s take this
back home process it and see if we can
extract the salt from the salt water
I’ve had to sit in a camp here for a
couple of days and it’s given all the
sand and any impurities the chance to
settle down to the bottom there really
isn’t much but just to be safe I’m going
to transfer this into another clear
container so we have pure salt water and
then we’ll fill this thing up with more
salt water and take them both back home
[Music]
the sound stays pretty well at the
bottom so it doesn’t take much to
transfer that over and now or left with
it’s pretty clear well there’s our
relatively pure one gallon of sea water
let’s take a home and get this stuff
processed and boom update guys here we
are ten months later I’ve just had this
project sitting on the shelf and today
we’re getting around to it so this here
is the water we collected from the organ
ocean looking at it it’s crystal clear
there’s nothing on the bottom and
there’s hardly anything floating around
inside that’s about as clear as we can
get it I got a spoonful of it here let’s
see how it tastes
it’s just in salt water so here’s the
setup today guys we’ve got an 8 quart
pot a scale and a measuring cup and the
purpose of today’s experiment is to find
out what will happen if we boil
crystal-clear saltwater so let’s go
ahead and measure it out and get boiling
[Music]
so apparently two cups of water works
out to be about 500 grams which makes
sense because each cup is 250
millilitres one milliliter of water is
usually one gram and it doesn’t see much
difference with seawater as well so
theoretically we could just pour all the
seawater we want it in here take the
amount of gram and that’s how many
milliliters we drive you should take a
step to three thousand I’m going to stop
it right there we’ve got exactly three
kilograms of saltwater which is equal to
twelve cups so we got twelve cups three
kilograms of crystal-clear seawater
let’s go ahead and throw it on the stove
and boil it off
[Music]
so update guys it’s been about an hour
and a half and we have boiled off all of
that ocean water there’s no water left
it’s bone-dry in there and that crystal
clear ocean has left behind a white
residue what do you suppose that could
be now I’ve set up a scale and a bowl
over here we can go ahead and zero that
out now we can go ahead and take a spoon
and scrape out all this white residue
and measure how much we’ve collected
[Music]
I’ll look at that came up in the big
chunk cool look at that
[Music]
[Applause]
so here we have the guys we have
literally just taken the salt out of
salt water and it comes out these crusty
little crystals at the bottom of the pan
the reason is because it’s not a pure
salt it’s a lot of different salts in
there but it is sea salt and on the left
and out of 12 cups of seawater or 3,000
grams we were able to capture exactly
100 grams of salt so if you collect your
water from the Oregon coast you can
probably expect that water contains
about 3.3 percent
[Music]
okay update guides here’s what I’ve just
done I took all that white crusty stuff
and threw it in a blender and blend it
up so it was more of a powder then I
went down to the local grocery store and
picked up a couple of glass salt shakers
and transferred the white powder over
screwed on the lids and just like that
we now have ourselves one-and-a-half
salt shakers full of real genuine sea
salt
how do they feel a little bit warm from
being the oven that tastes like a really
good salt in fact this would go really
good on popcorn craving popcorn real sea
salt becoming very popular in the health
food community and you see it popping up
all over bags of chips or they’re
promoting that they use real sea salt to
see them their products now we just have
to figure out a mate cracked pepper okay
guys let’s talk about this experiment
for a second we started off going for
the Oregon coast where we captured a
couple bucket pools of raw seawater we
let that water sit overnight in a couple
containers where all the sediment went
down to the bottom and we captured only
the water off the top so we were left
with crystal-clear seawater we brought
that seawater home threw it into the pot
on the stove and let it boil on high
heat for about an hour and a half until
all the water has evaporated the only
thing that we were left with was a white
crusty residue that we call sea salt so
we crushed it up threw it into a couple
of salt shakers so we can use it on our
popcorn tonight and that’s pretty much
this experiment in a nutshell guys you
now know how to turn ocean water into
real seats all thanks for joining me for
this experiment I’ll be looking for the
next one talk to you that tell your
sugar honey that’s awesome
good save good save
