    Honestly, your first glow in the dark videos are what I first started watching, allllll that time ago. I often showed your videos to my high school science teachers for project ideas and just some neat science.
    Thank you for being around for so long, and continuing what you do. I sit her now and watch your videos with my 5 year old. She has a love for science you are helping to grow into a passion!

    I do remember your first videos (not THE first video, but I started watching when you made the Nuka Cola glow stick, which was maybe your 10th). I subbed on an account that I lost access to and then resubbed on this one as my very first subscription maybe 10 years ago. You've consistently been my favorite chemistry youtuber for about 15 years now. I hope that you keep up the good work for as long as you continue to enjoy it! Thank you for the many hours of education and entertainment.

    i'd definitely be interested in seeing how orange glow in the dark powder is made, as well as pink.
    as for related topics, i'd be really interested to see how the powders respond not only in different suspensions (like resin, paint, or nail polish), but also at what thickness does the powder no longer get brighter by being thicker. it's a bit outside your norm, but would be interesting to see none-the-less.

  • @Muonium1

    This is excellent and very careful, well documented work. Strangely, I have found the effect of cooling Sr aluminate to liquid nitrogen temperatures has relatively little effect on extending its phosphorescence decay half-life, whereas the effect is dramatic with ZnS based phosphors. I've never seen an explanation for this and wonder if the mechanism doesn't differ in some important way from the usual triplet state forbidden-transition system for many phosphors.

    • @NurdRage
      @NurdRage  16 часов назад +6

      hmm... when doing research for this video i found a few other mechanisms for trap escape. Like quantum tunneling and quenching by other impurities. It might be that those effects are unaffected by temperature and become dominant at cold temperatures. So while the thermal escape might get switched off, the glow still decays at a similar rate from those other effects.

    Homemade GITD (glow in the dark) compounds are always awesome and interesting because sometimes it means using novel chemical supplies that you can buy at hardware stores and gas stations like here.
    I also have tried GITD plastic against a powerful 365 nm blacklight (including Nichia NVSU233A) for sh*t and giggle, it can sure light up so ridiculously bright, covering the room in aqua light at night time, and I wouldn't recommend looking at it directly unless you like burning out your eyes (and even if you can't see the ultraviolet, don't look at the blacklight flashlight's business end when it's on either, it won't be pleasant).

Making the viewer feel they are exploring the science with you and is engaged along the way is better content imo but may have some other pros and cons. In the end the best videos are the ones you have the most fun making.

    • @NurdRage
      @NurdRage  20 часов назад +4

      Glow sticks work by a completely and totally different mechanism than glow-in-the-dark materials. But i do like your thinking. As for the actual mechanism, in glow sticks the light is generated by the reaction of peroxide with peroxylate chemicals. The cold temperature slows down this reaction. So they last longer.

I would like you to consider trying the pyrophoric method for some superconductors like YIBCO. I would like you to try some variants TiBa9Cu10O20, ZrBa9Cu10O20+, NbBa9Cu10O20+ Or try to make a magnet with Eu₁₆Sb₁₁ - supposedly 3.4-3.5 times stronger than a Neodymium magnet chemistry. Downside is Sb, I do not think that is a good material to work with.

    it may be a good idea to filter the crude aluminum chloride solution before converting it to aluminum nitrate as the foil has traces of iron, which wont dissolve because the aluminum is more reactive but when you add nitric acid, will dissolve so it would necessitate greater purification later in the crystallization step
    also theres actually two types of C.A.N. fertilizer, theres the mix of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate like you have, but also what i like to call nitrochalk which is a simple blend of calcium carbonate dust and ammonium nitrate which has no calcium nitrate present at all, meaning some nitric acid would have to be added to dissolve it properly

The swordsman Musashi advised to know the ways of all arts & professions - which is much easier now with the internet than in his century, though also more difficult because the world is so much more complicated.
