Beeswax is composed of many different waxes, with different melting points, you can with a fair bit of work, divide it by range. The lowest melting point wax is incredibly close to being liquid on a warm day, the highest barely softens. This separation will happen with thermal cycling, so as a heat storage system it may need a sitirrer.

Really cool!!

the white stuff on the beeswax is indeed fat bloom similar to what happens on chocolate. It can also happen on candles. only fairly pure beeswax will have this bloom, so if it' happens on candles it's an indication of purity. The bloom happens when the fat is subjected to temperature changes. some of the fatty acids in beeswax have a lower melting point so they seep out and harden, and over time this produces the bloom effect.

The difference in the temperatures is constant throughout the timelapse and it's there, because you've poured the wax over a minute later than the paraffin. It just had more time to give off the heat. The proper experiment would include a second person to pour them both simultaniously, but it's unneeded, as throughout the timelapse the difference of 5 degrees is constant.
@svampebob007

yeah it doesn't require you to pour them simultaneously, it's fairly obvious that it's a constant. the graphs should easily tell you (and they do) what's going on, it doesn't require "reddit" to see that there's constantly a 5 degree difference, did go back through the time laps to double check as a good student would do :) It's always 5 degrees cooler/warmer within the margin of error in the thermometer and reading time (when the display updates vs when the camera takes the snapshot) This is highschool science data, there's no interpretation to be made from it. Although somebody asked a good question, how about burn time, like would using different wicks affect the burn time, would a similar wick burn faster or slower? I guess this comes down to how fast it can evaporate or something like that? now this is some interesting science, not watching wax cure.

svampebob007 the heat capacity isn’t the same, bees wax holds ~17% more thermal energy than paraffin wax. The temperature is the same, but that’s something different. You have something called the specific heat capacity of a material. The specific heat capacity is measured in Kilo Joules per Kg per Kelvin. In the example there is a greater mass of bees wax than paraffin wax, and bees wax has the greater specific heat capacity, so the bees wax has more thermal energy stored.

Cody, your channel sometimes reminds me of a wonderful book my grandfather had (I might still have it somewhere). I think it was called "Everyman's Inquire Within" and was full of tips for what we now call DIY, including stuff like how to make your own shellac with beeswax. There is so much "old" knowledge that's liable to be forgotten as it's overtaken by modern technology, but potentially useful nonetheless.

Thank you for the great video. I saw a guy use many miny tanks of parafin in a big tub of water. And then he would let hot water flow through and let the material phase change. And then run cold water through to get the heat back out. He said he needed to put the parafin into small containers to not have it boil or erupt or something. But maybe with beeswax you could take a few larger tanks in a big thank with water without running the risk of destroying your system.

You're not measuring heat capacity. The thermal conductivity of wax is very low. The reason it takes so long to cool off is not because of its immense heat capacity but because heat takes a long time to get through the thickness of the wax. You're mostly measuring thermal conductivity. If you wanted to measure heat capacity, put a given amount of hot wax into a thermos filled with cold water. Then measure the temperature rise of the water.

Well, it's a combination of heat capacity and thermal conductivity. The specific heat capacity of beeswax is around 3.4kJ/(kg*K) while paraffin is around 2.9kJ/(kg*K). But yes, that other method would be a more suitable test

You could see if the bloom on the honey is a mold or algea by taking a look at it under a microscope. If you don't have one send a sample to me and I can get you a few pics of it.

Love bees wax and love propolis even more, that's probably that unique smell you're detecting. I have a friend with an apiary and volunteer to help him clean out his hives every year, all I ask is for a big old chunk of propolis. I use propolis in a tincture (ethanol), and that stuff makes cuts and cold sores go away so fast not to mention gets rid of the pain. Good stuff Cody!

Hello sir, How can you identify 100% beeswax and not 100% beeswax?

There are two independent properties of substances that determine how quickly thermal burns occur. They are the 1) temperature of the substance and its 2) specific heat. The melting point of beeswax is relatively low at 63ºC, not really enough to burn much. So why are water burns > beeswax burns > paraffin burns at equal temperatures of these substances? It boils down (pun intended) to specific heat; higher specific heats in liquids result in more rapid burns. Specific heat paraffin = 2.14-2.9 J g−1 K−1. Specific heat beeswax = 3.4 J g−1 K−1. By comparison, the specific heat of water = 4.186 J g−1 K−1.

One thing that’s not mentioned is when you light beeswax candles, the flame tends to be brighter, be less Smokey, and lasts longer. Also, it smells like honey when lit.

The powder is bloom. It's harmless and is not a bacteria or anything like that. If you leave beeswax alone long enough it will bloom. It's the natural oils coming to the surface over time. Just wipe if off if you wish. Blooming beeswax is a great way to know that you're getting beeswax. Using beeswax in a candle form will last longer than paraffin and won't coat the ceiling or walls of your house like paraffin.

I would love to know, does the Paraffin(?) get opaque just because it's not liquid anymore, or because of Trapped air bubbles? If so, how would it Look if you let it cool down in a pressure chamber? Would love to see a quick answer on that.

I always assumed the paraffin formed crystals that bounce light around, but I’m not completely sure. It shouldn’t be air bubbles though as those would be visible before it hardens

Beeswax melted with a little bit of food grade mineral oil makes a pretty nice cutting board treatment, just rub it on once it solidifies and buff off the thick parts

Paraffin wax is ideal to lubricate wooden drawers - you probably knew that since it's odl wisdom since your great grandma's time. Often though you find that the effect wears of quite fast. A heatgun or hair dryer to the rescue! Heat up gliding areas and apply paraffin wax. Let the wood soak a mm or two of the wax and apply the finishing layer while it cools. Prestro drawers that glide nice and smooth for a very long time with almost no wear on the wood!

Options to increase the real world scientific accuracy of the tests: 1: intentionally heat them to the very same starting temperature 2: begin with the precisely same mass for at least one of your test runs 3: use water as a control for at least one of your test runs 4: repeat the test at least 10 times while regularly alternating the temperature probes to reduce the margin of error produced by th potential of one probe reading off 5: if possible, use pre-calibrated or calibratable type k style probes which are on a unit which shares displays to reduce manufacturing errors from testing. 6: optionally add any one of several specifically engineered soy based wax to compare [it is designed for use in specialty candles because of its melting and burning characteristics] as compared to either paraffin or beeswax as a 4th testing option as some companies make claims of extremely fixed and reliable phase change melting and solidification because their customers are looking for reliable results. ~( 'w')/

3:30 this gets at another big difference between the waxes. My Dad once told me, as a kid, to rub paraffin on a drawer to make it slide better. I asked what it was and he said wax. So I got beeswax and rubbed it into the wood. NOT GOOD. Paraffin reduces friction. Beeswax increases friction.

I imagine your results will be skewed by the fact that the bee's wax pulls away from the edge of the container (leaving a small insulating air gab), while the paraffin stays connected to it. I imagine that this will affect how quickly each bread pan of wax transfers heat to the surroundings.

The new music sounds a lot like a Cyriak Harris piece. The organized, but dissonant randomness is very much his style. It doesn't have as funky of a beat like his newer work, but it does sound a lot like some of his older music.
