If this guy suddenly stops posting one day, you know why.

Can you do a tutorial on how to set up the spoon?

You know it’s Cody’sLab when he has to worry about the military doing it first.

If you're smelling gumweed in the room where it wasn't before, then you're boiling it out the top.

You need to use more water Cody, half of the plant matter should be soaked with water. It looks pretty dry in you bottom flask. Also try blending your plant matter for a better yield.

Cody could almost build an actual jet (and fuel it, too) from raw materials found on his own property.

That stuff would make a good lamp fuel from how it burns.
@Draakdarkmaster6 5 years ago

it burns for a long time and very cleanly, seems to me it'd make a very good low octane fuel for some kind of generator, to reduce fuel upkeep

Every science class I’ve ever been in: “never taste the experiments” Cody’s Lab: “I’m going to taste it”

"So i've got a spoon set up here". What a god. Where did he learn to set up a spoon so efficiently?

Amazing renewable fuel it’s kind of like propane but it’s a liquid not a gas oh how I love the smell of propane and propane accessories

I love how Cody refers to the ranch as his backyard
@t.b.d6294 5 years ago

perhaps if the plant was crushed instead of cut it could yield more oil.

Sounds like a breeding experiment is in order. Breed a strain of the plant that produces a heavy amount of oil, thereby improving your output yield. After that, it's just a matter of improving your distillation apparatus. Might be able to produce a viable product.
