Making glow sticks

Hey guys, last one for the month (technically). Let me know what you think.


Ill update the description and stuff when I post the video for real.

Making glow sticks

Comments

Those are expensive though, no?

Good start. I think the design could be improved by making the ampoules from NMR tubes.

I am honestly not sure. You are right though, it is a little more viscous

Nile Red

Thanks for that. Educational and enjoyable. I have one question. At the beginning, you open a commercial stick and mix the ingredients in a beaker. The "other" stuff is quite viscous, so it's not H2O2. What is it? ..another kind of peroxide?

Yeah i definitely do.

By the way, you made me laugh when you said "nice and stinky..." because I remembered that you like exploring smells.

Cool stuff, as always. I used to go fishing at night with my dad and we'd pop some of those on the buoys. Those would last hours and hours in the water.

Ill test that out today

Please try eosin Y and fluorescein! They are both fluorescent dyes and it would be really interesting to see how they react! You could just post a photo here on Patreon to show if it worked!

I love your stuff man

Awesome! Taking it all the way to the finished product makes it so much more compelling. Stopping at the glow-in-the-beaker stage would have been a lot less interesting, despite the chemistry being exactly the same.

Nicely done! Very thorough, professional, and easy to understand. I always learn something new.
