Thanks for the heads up Big Clive! It would be cool to seal the end of a few LEDs with that strontium aluminate. Say make a circuit that has 20 seconds on, 40 seconds off. Battery extender emergency light :-)

@Eddie Hitler Yeah, good luck getting that through customs lol, unless it's so dilute it's not putting off enough to be a problem. Not to mention that the expense behind actually doing that would be literally insane for no real good reason. It's one thing if they're doing it to save money, that's at least rational, but spending orders of magnitude of additional money to "dispose of radioactive strontium isotopes", which would require purification of strontium from the other radioactive atoms in the nuclear waste (this is *very* expensive and time consuming, all for the ~5% of Strontium in the waste?), handling of the radioactive material, etc., when they could just store their radioactive waste anywhere from completely to mildly irresponsibly like most countries do for a hell of a lot less cost and effort. That's called paranoia, Hitler.
@Eddie Hitler "I found a quote that j think supports my position but I don't really understand it at all because otherwise I wouldn't use it because it doesn't" Thats referring to this paper (I found a link for you with no paywall, even): core.ac.uk/download/pdf/33591963.pdf And to be clear, it's talking about long term storage in cement. It wouldn't glow (the glow comes from doping it with different ions), and it wouldn't be cost effective, at all. As a long term storage (I.e. safe, effective, _proper_ storage of nuclear waste, which no countries currently do, though Finland has their Olkiluoto storage facility under construction which would be the first) it would work, that's what that means. And I'm sorry if you meant that as a joke, because it wasn't funny, I think given the fact that you said "there's always the possibility..." And then responded with a quote about it meant you were serious, and are trying to say it was a joke once you realized just how insane it is. I could maybe see how it could be humorous if you're really racist against Chinese people, super paranoid, and have no understanding of physics or chemistry, which, in fairness, that does fit the Hitler name. Also, no, sadly it wouldn't glow from ionizing radiation. The excitation wavelength depends on the formulation (the dopants, and the exact mixture of them) and is anywhere from UV to red, maybe near IR. Gamma radiation would be way to energetic to excite it.
@Eddie Hitler Mate, you're the one who got butthurt. I wasn't aware we were arguing. I was just adding to the discussion because it was so humorously wrong. You're an odd one. Anyway, in regards to whether Strontium Aluminate can phosphoresce under ionizing radiation, there's no (known, anyway) dopant that would allow ionizing radiation (which is several orders of magnitudes smaller wavelength than the light we use for this stuff) to cause strontium aluminate to be phosphorescent. A spinthariscope is very, very different, and works in a completely different way. From Wikipedia: "It consisted of a small screen coated with zinc sulfide affixed to the end of a tube, with a tiny amount of radium salt suspended a short distance from the screen and a lens on the other end of the tube for viewing the screen." I mean, you could probably make one with Strontium Aluminate, and some other radioactive element, but the mechanism isn't the same. I'd describe the physics of how they work, but I doubt you even care. Sad, it's interesting. Is your last name even Hitler, or are you just trying to be an edgelord? I have trouble taking anything you say seriously because I assume you're a troll. My sincere apologies if that's your birth name, that can't be fun.
It's the fools making the rules deciding what is friendly and what is not. Where is the adult / mature friendly section ? I rather NOT watch content only intended for children.
They got in legal trouble because they couldn't eliminate children from regular RUclips, they are just covering their own asses, perfectly understandable given the circumstances.
@@garethbaus5471 well it's the responsibility of the parents to monitor what their kids watch, not RUclips's. If parents can't be bothered doing that then RUclips should just say "not our problem' and stop acting like the Gestapo with creators.
Very interesting! I remember some company was offering a "survival"flashlight/torch that could be used as a regular flashlight but it had an accessory that you could excite with the flashlight and use it as a low power illuminator for use in ones tent.
Yeah, have an AA/14500 light that has a GITD o ring sealing the lens. So when flashlight is on, gets energised and glow once off. Also came with a silicone GITD top hat style diffuser, and that also gets energised whilst in the light is on. It's a Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 (£17 on Amazon UK, $21 US, £12 from China)
Your humour kills me and takes nothing away from your expertise. Listening to you reminds me of Ivor Cutler. You really should have your own TV program. 🤩
Might shatter the glass with the heat and it'll fog the plastic if there were any air bubbles Plus resin is technically super glue, but harder and better tho slower
Also, use a hair dryer/heat gun to make the resin go really runny. Helps air bubbles come out, extends liquid time slightly, but it sets faster when it cools.
I drilled out the screws for switch cover plates and glues tritium vials in. I know there's lighted toggle switches but I wanted to recreate radium glowing screws I saw in a 1925 electrical supply catalog.
Awesome, one of the best glow pigments I've ever seen, was an A/C leak test kit I had bought, this stuff would blow your mind, unfortunately it was liquid and the container leak whilst in storage, and now I have a big glow in the dark container 😂.
@@muh1h1 yeah I had the regular light on before I knew it my hands were covered in the stuff I didnt know it, so I grabbed the uv light turned it on and It was everywhere. But fortunately for me you needed a uv light to see it.
@@MrRedwires It's more a fluorescent dye than a pigment. It has to be soluble in the oil which lubricates the compressor and circulates around with the refrigerant.
Clive love your naughty suggestion. I think we got the picture. I’ve been in a London night club at New Years when a friend spun a glow stick which broke and spattered everyone with luminous gunk . Such fun and ruined clothes.
Big Clive, could you do a teardown on this device/game called "Don't lose your cool"? It's made by Hasbro. Cost $3 here in the states. It supposedly has a pulse sensor and can pick up your heart rate! But does it really?
@@bigclivedotcom Maybe? Makes sense to me. I've been learning electronics as small components. I bought one & tore it down. It's amazing they can get all of that crammed packed into a $3 toy! It had a blotted dot chip Inside at the main processing.
@@bigclivedotcom I forgot to mention. The LED sensor actually has the word "PCB Sensor VOR4" wrote on the board. There's a total of 3 circuit boards with a speaker. One circuit board is double sided. "The sensor"
Clive, a great old trick for getting resin, super glue, and all other sorts of adhesives off your fingers... high grit sand paper and gently polishing it away. It doesn't hurt in the least, and works excellently for super glue in particular.
@@Alexander_l322 It's completely non-toxic but it is a high abrasive. By all reason, should be about as bad as eating sand? Mohs hardness around 7.5, Quarts is 7, so a good bit more abrasive than sand, but not too much more abrasive. I think he would find digestive tract lacerations bothersome if he ate it regularly, but he'd live to tell us that we shouldn't do it.
@@SianaGearz that's nice to hear but I wouldn't expect the power to be non toxic in all forms as its probably got some carcinogen or some shit in it that's not in the ingredients.
These were a pet peeve of mine when I was in the army. People would have them all over their kit and helmets! But now I'm thinking a fun alternative to battery powered LED string lights for the garden that you never need to worry about water or batteries deep discharging. Tempting! Tappy tap tap!
You could probably stretch the pigment a lot further by just coating the inside of the vial with a glue and letting it capture the pigment. No need to fill the center of the vial.
May I recommend LBRY as an alternative video platform? I found it due to Dave Jones of EEVBlog, so that's no small recommendation. He's still recommending it himself :)
Long term occupational exposure will likely lead to lung silicosis. But otherwise, you've probably experienced worse. It's basically got a slightly higher hardness than sand and about the same reactivity as sand, it's pretty damn inert.
Clive! If you haven't used the mix in bag method for tiny bits of resin, I'd suggest it. Using a mixing stick (I get mine from my local coffee shop too) you can mix it by rolling the stick over the bag from the outside, then work it into a corner. Snip the corner off, making just a tiny hole, and SQUEEZE it out, ever so gently, viola! The thicker bags work better. No messy cups and you can shoot it into TiNy CrEvIcEs. ;)
You might wanna try adding glow in the dark powder to casting resin and then try casting something. Casting resin is a lot less viscous and has a longer working time than normal epoxy, so it's easier to get artsy with it
They used Tritium for glow in the dark dials on the early 'Trimphone' in the mid 1960s...then BT quickly decided it wasn't such a good idea if the holding vessel got broken, and so it was withdrawn with no alternative offered.....perhaps there wasn't one then?
You said, you have to pack it tightly, to avoid un-excited powder to come to the outer side. So it is quite wasteful to fill them completely with powder. You should make it similar to fluorescent tubes: just cover the glass wall with powder. Either by filling in some quite low viscosity glue or lacquer and pour this out, then fill it with powder and also pour out the amount which does not stick or mix a very low viscosity resin with the powder, fill it in the vial swirl it around quickly and pour the rest into the next vial.
Clive I have some pigment that's from technoglow, this stuff is so strong once charged it will light up an entire room for a while has a good charge life too of a few hours
Welcome. Make sure you're also subscribed to the live channel, "BigCliveLive" and have notifications set to "All". Bad Dragon mentions are fairly common there.
i think that the optical properties of the resin might help any incoming UV light to scatter deeper beneath the surface, compared to just having bare powder, and also in turn scatter the glow from the deeper parts of whatever you are making that is my explanation for why the resin 'pebble' glows much more than the powder vial
Clive thank you so much for this video I’ve been wondering which powder is best, please do test which powder stays lit up the longest time, like the type they mix into emergency stripes for fire staircase so ppl see the stairs in the dark
"The factory that makes these packages must look great at night!".... By FACTORY, is a Chinese family in a grass hut on their dinner table filling bags from buckets which are probably in the trash from a factory marked "REJECTED".
There is an air-curing rubberized product named Sugru. Available in several primary colors and black,it is a fun product to use to make 3-D objects. Cure time is about 30 minutes and cleans up quickly off the fingers.
Bad Dragon is the official supplier of such goods for this channel. Mentions are fairly common, especially on BigCliveLive broadcasts. Make sure you're subscribed to that channel as well.
That new glow powder seems like it would be cool to mix in with a clear epoxy and make one of those acrylic or glass awards. Might use that pigment powder to repaint some old watches I have where the hands have stopped glowing.
Greetings and happy pride month from a new fan happy to find your videos! Really keen to try some of those! Recently I was looking to buy a resin and glow in the dark powders to decorate glassware with. I'm not too sure what epoxy or resin mix to use that would stick to glass and be ok with being hand washed and slight exposure to dishwashing chemicals and rubbing alcohol.
Did I hear Bad Dragon owo I've heard that some gun channels started uploading to pornhub because of youtube's high restrictions. Maybe something to consider.
I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of certain channel types started to use pornhub or something similar as a new platform there's only so much fuckery RUclips can get away with before people start looking elsewhere
You probably mean InrangeTV and it did this mostly as a joke and a statement. They uploaded videos on different video hosting sites to try and get people away from youtube. At least i didn't hear about any other gun channels doing this.
bigclivedotcom I'd agree on the "marketing" for his Blue powder as it doesn't flow anywhere near that of the Greet Lit. To ensure no airgaps, you could have used a small nail to tamp it down.
A platform for your more risqué videos could be LBRY.tv / LBRY.social. They also allow you to set up synchronisation of your entire RUclips video collection as a backup, which can be handy should you suddenly get strikes on your channel. It integrates with the LBRY cryptocurrency with the concepts of micro-payments either priced by you or via tips. It is still in its infancy, so it isn't on par with RUclips in terms of features - particularly with commenting and performance due to its decentralised architecture.
I recently bought a product called Ni Glo Gear Marker by Gear Aid that is basically the same as Clive's pendant. It is very bright when I give it a quick charge with a high power LED flashlight. So bright I could almost read by it. Fades over time, but stays luminescent for a solid 6 hours.
Tips for 2 part epoxy. Keep wood alcohol (menthol from the hardware store paint section) handy. It makes quick clean up of the resin before it sets. A disposable hypodermic syringe with an applicator needle works wonders filling small tubes and cavities. Add the resin with the tube tilted so it does not run to the needle. Insert the plunger and with the needle pointed up, press out the air and the resin bubble free will collect on the piston. With the air out, insert the needle to the bottom of the cavity to fill and fill from the bottom up. Creates good fills with few if any trapped air bubbles. If you are quick with the alcohol, you can clean the needle and syringe for the next glue job.
I have a suggestion for you to try... Sorry for the US terminology... Could you take a 4 foot F32T8 fluorescent lamp and replace the phosphor with strontium aluminate? And add a little tritium gas to the argon mercury mix? Would make for an interesting emergency light.
By the way dear Clive, there are nozzles you can buy for two-part resins that will mix the components inside said nozzle before it exits. This should make your precision resin work a lot easier.
Aren't these a one-use proposition i.e. they'll be useful as long as the two parts are _flowing through_ -- after which they are trash? If single-use, they're wasteful, unless you're applying the entire quantity of the two parts in the tubes. Cheap, small, low-waste mixing nozzles for hand-size resin and epoxy syringes would be wonderful.
Hey Clive, Thanks for making the video it is great. Is the Strontium aluminate safe? For example: If a person purchased a large quantity and mixed it with varnish then coated a table with it. Would it be safe or could there be bleedthru if a person put food on the bare table?
Actually you should always try to paint a thin layer because the light is effectively absorbed and emitted by the outer layers of the powder (the power inside is just a filler). In thin layers the quenching will also be reduced. Use a little alcohol (or isopropyl alcohol) to make the epoxy a little thinner and easier to use.
Ireland has Uranium deposits, decay products are Radon and Polonium, with a half life of 3.8 and 138 days respectively. Plutonium-244, has a half-life of 80.8 million years. A walk around the beach near Sellafield may be rewarding.
The violet laser and glow in the dark combo is quite something. You could achieve some amazing effects with a vector laser projector and a wall of the stuff. Like a slow motion CRT.
@@bigclivedotcom I wonder if you could mix all three together and stimulate them independently with different wavelengths? Then resolution would only be limited by what your laser galvos could do.
Interesting video I restore watches and sometimes have to repaint the dials, buy far the best lume is strontium aluminate, however its the purity you can actually make this stuff your self in a microwave but its very difficult to get in pure form. I believe Seiko invented this stuff and it became available in the late 90's.
I like the europium based powrders. They seem to be really good with brightness. Keep in mind when you are exciting purples there is many factors that are going on. You need to have a source that is lower in wavelength than the pigment to charge them correctly, this is a property of how fluorescence works. I am betting the purple is a mix of red and blue but you would probably get better luck charging with a deeper UV light.
Also be careful with that laser, they say 5mw but they have tested here on my LPM 70mw+ at times. Keep the peepers, more about this danger on my shunt mod video.
You might try using, say, a 2ml syringe to fill the vials. They have removable needles in varying sizes. 1ml syringes usually come with the needle built-in. Take a couple of vials to the chemist and see if they can recommend one to fit. They're cheap to buy, you'll get fair change from a quid. There's no prohibitions on buying them that I know of. Then mix the resin with the powder beforehand. You could also consider PVA glue as your resin. They sell it for kids pre-mixed with glow in the dark stuff. Either way, a syringe filling from the bottom of the vial ought to prevent any bubbles. I'd imagine the problem with them being the light won't persist for too long after dark. That's exactly the point of using tritium instead, it's constant, til it fades away after a few years. You're supposed to be able to read a map by tritium, so it's survival equipment, you can rely on it when you have no other light.
some people collect sand and put it in a vase, layering it so you can see all the separate colours, reckon it would work with this in one of these viles?
I have done it with little test tubes as the powder is much more expensive than sand and it works excellently. You can blend pigments and with some work you can get some really beautiful results with new colors, just don't shake once you're done. Caveat: shaking along the way a little bit results in some amazing mixing from randomness and some beautiful transitions.
@@MothmanActual I think you should give it a go if it strikes your fancy. It's got quite its own aesthetic and it looks really great. Two tips: Work under a fluorescent Black light so you can watch what's happening, and if you want to make a nice blend between two colors, do the mixing in a V shaped piece of thick paper so you can almost "pour" the bend into your container once it's mixed. Using gravity, shaking, and a little spatula worked great. Cheers from Boulder, Colorado.

And I'm sorry if you meant that as a joke, because it wasn't funny, I think given the fact that you said "there's always the possibility..." And then responded with a quote about it meant you were serious, and are trying to say it was a joke once you realized just how insane it is.
I could maybe see how it could be humorous if you're really racist against Chinese people, super paranoid, and have no understanding of physics or chemistry, which, in fairness, that does fit the Hitler name.
Also, no, sadly it wouldn't glow from ionizing radiation. The excitation wavelength depends on the formulation (the dopants, and the exact mixture of them) and is anywhere from UV to red, maybe near IR. Gamma radiation would be way to energetic to excite it.
@Eddie Hitler Mate, you're the one who got butthurt. I wasn't aware we were arguing. I was just adding to the discussion because it was so humorously wrong. You're an odd one.
Anyway, in regards to whether Strontium Aluminate can phosphoresce under ionizing radiation, there's no (known, anyway) dopant that would allow ionizing radiation (which is several orders of magnitudes smaller wavelength than the light we use for this stuff) to cause strontium aluminate to be phosphorescent.
A spinthariscope is very, very different, and works in a completely different way. From Wikipedia: "It consisted of a small screen coated with zinc sulfide affixed to the end of a tube, with a tiny amount of radium salt suspended a short distance from the screen and a lens on the other end of the tube for viewing the screen."
I mean, you could probably make one with Strontium Aluminate, and some other radioactive element, but the mechanism isn't the same.
I'd describe the physics of how they work, but I doubt you even care. Sad, it's interesting.
Is your last name even Hitler, or are you just trying to be an edgelord? I have trouble taking anything you say seriously because I assume you're a troll. My sincere apologies if that's your birth name, that can't be fun.

RUclips is trying a bit too hard to be child friendly so they don't scare away all the people with children from the platform (and their ad revenues).
It's the fools making the rules deciding what is friendly and what is not.
Where is the adult / mature friendly section ? I rather NOT watch content only intended for children.
I believe the whole "Is this for kids" thing is because they're not allowed to run ads and generate revenue for content that is "For Kids"
They got in legal trouble because they couldn't eliminate children from regular RUclips, they are just covering their own asses, perfectly understandable given the circumstances.
@@garethbaus5471 well it's the responsibility of the parents to monitor what their kids watch, not RUclips's.
If parents can't be bothered doing that then RUclips should just say "not our problem' and stop acting like the Gestapo with creators.
that and advertisers wont buy ads on it if its an age-restricted video
Very interesting!
I remember some company was offering a "survival"flashlight/torch that could be used as a regular flashlight but it had an accessory that you could excite with the flashlight and use it as a low power illuminator for use in ones tent.
Yeah, have an AA/14500 light that has a GITD o ring sealing the lens. So when flashlight is on, gets energised and glow once off.
Also came with a silicone GITD top hat style diffuser, and that also gets energised whilst in the light is on.
It's a Lumintop Tool AA 2.0 (£17 on Amazon UK, $21 US, £12 from China)
10:40 ahhh, remember when it was "if" the coronavirus came?
Your humour kills me and takes nothing away from your expertise. Listening to you reminds me of Ivor Cutler. You really should have your own TV program. 🤩
Try packing the tube with the powder then add a few drops of 'super glue'- that will make a glowing solid mass in the tube.
can be rather exothermic though.
Might shatter the glass with the heat and it'll fog the plastic if there were any air bubbles
Plus resin is technically super glue, but harder and better tho slower
Okay, you got me curious. I would like to see the alternative project please!
mix the resin on a flat surface if your using small amounts!
Also, use a hair dryer/heat gun to make the resin go really runny. Helps air bubbles come out, extends liquid time slightly, but it sets faster when it cools.
Like the outside of the bottom of the container he used.
I drilled out the screws for switch cover plates and glues tritium vials in. I know there's lighted toggle switches but I wanted to recreate radium glowing screws I saw in a 1925 electrical supply catalog.
Awesome, one of the best glow pigments I've ever seen, was an A/C leak test kit I had bought, this stuff would blow your mind, unfortunately it was liquid and the container leak whilst in storage, and now I have a big glow in the dark container 😂.
Somewhat ironic when the leak dedecting fluid leaks out... At least it was easy to detect that it did though!
@@muh1h1 yeah I had the regular light on before I knew it my hands were covered in the stuff I didnt know it, so I grabbed the uv light turned it on and It was everywhere. But fortunately for me you needed a uv light to see it.
Sounds a lot more like Fluorescent pigment, not phosphorescent. Either way that stuff can get REALLY bright, which is great
Yup we got thst stuff on our refrigeration machines. The cleanup after charging a system with it is messy and everything glows under UV forever
@@MrRedwires It's more a fluorescent dye than a pigment. It has to be soluble in the oil which lubricates the compressor and circulates around with the refrigerant.
Mix it with a water based exterior wall covering (Mathys Acrylic Coatings, or Snow-Cem, for example) and have your own glow in the dark house!
Its a 'tappy, tap tap' carefulling now.
Crossover video between BigClive and AvE would break this side of RUclips...
@@securi-t Then add the hydraulic press channel and a bit of Iron Maiden and the internet would be destroyed.
Clive love your naughty suggestion. I think we got the picture. I’ve been in a London night club at New Years when a friend spun a glow stick which broke and spattered everyone with luminous gunk . Such fun and ruined clothes.
Big Clive, could you do a teardown on this device/game called "Don't lose your cool"?
It's made by Hasbro. Cost $3 here in the states. It supposedly has a pulse sensor and can pick up your heart rate! But does it really?
I have a £5 Yoho Sports smartwatch that estimates blood pressure optically! I'd love someone to explain the algorithm behind that!
Sounds like a simple red light transmission system that detects the modulation of the light by the blood flow
Not sure about blood pressure, but the blood oximeters use infrared to measure the oxygen level in your blood.
@@bigclivedotcom Maybe? Makes sense to me.
I've been learning electronics as small components. I bought one & tore it down. It's amazing they can get all of that crammed packed into a $3 toy! It had a blotted dot chip Inside at the main processing.
@@bigclivedotcom I forgot to mention. The LED sensor actually has the word "PCB Sensor VOR4" wrote on the board. There's a total of 3 circuit boards with a speaker. One circuit board is double sided. "The sensor"
Clive, a great old trick for getting resin, super glue, and all other sorts of adhesives off your fingers... high grit sand paper and gently polishing it away.
It doesn't hurt in the least, and works excellently for super glue in particular.
Clive you could use LBRY to upload your dragon miniature p..... version there :)
Was Strontium not first discovered near the village of Strontian .... In the highlands of Scotland????

only slightly!
@@Alexander_l322 It's completely non-toxic but it is a high abrasive. By all reason, should be about as bad as eating sand? Mohs hardness around 7.5, Quarts is 7, so a good bit more abrasive than sand, but not too much more abrasive.
I think he would find digestive tract lacerations bothersome if he ate it regularly, but he'd live to tell us that we shouldn't do it.
He already has a video where he tried to make glitter poo.
@@SianaGearz that's nice to hear but I wouldn't expect the power to be non toxic in all forms as its probably got some carcinogen or some shit in it that's not in the ingredients.

Try encapsulated powders for outdoor use
You could probably stretch the pigment a lot further by just coating the inside of the vial with a glue and letting it capture the pigment.
No need to fill the center of the vial.
1kreature it wouldn’t be quite as bright, but that’s what I was think too
Take a very small pin drill, drill out the eyes on your coin of choice, and then fill the holes with red and epoxy?
Silly twisted boy.
@@FarleyHillBilly Thanks! I try.
Green would glow much better
I bought small screw top glass vials to store the powder in. They are cheap and don't leak like those bags.
May I recommend LBRY as an alternative video platform?
I found it due to Dave Jones of EEVBlog, so that's no small recommendation. He's still recommending it himself :)
Used to buy the plain strontium aluminate powder to mix with epoxy and a little glitter to use to encase geiger counter test sources.
Looks like magic which makes me afraid to accidentally inhale something I know nothing about lol. Going to order some to play with anyway.
Long term occupational exposure will likely lead to lung silicosis.
But otherwise, you've probably experienced worse. It's basically got a slightly higher hardness than sand and about the same reactivity as sand, it's pretty damn inert.
Clive! If you haven't used the mix in bag method for tiny bits of resin, I'd suggest it. Using a mixing stick (I get mine from my local coffee shop too) you can mix it by rolling the stick over the bag from the outside, then work it into a corner. Snip the corner off, making just a tiny hole, and SQUEEZE it out, ever so gently, viola! The thicker bags work better. No messy cups and you can shoot it into TiNy CrEvIcEs. ;)
AAA I'd pay to see that bad dragon video lmao
So, in the end, which one tastes better? I mean, you did taste them, didn't you, Clive?
You might wanna try adding glow in the dark powder to casting resin and then try casting something. Casting resin is a lot less viscous and has a longer working time than normal epoxy, so it's easier to get artsy with it
They used Tritium for glow in the dark dials on the early 'Trimphone' in the mid 1960s...then BT quickly decided it wasn't such a good idea if the holding vessel got broken, and so it was withdrawn with no alternative offered.....perhaps there wasn't one then?
"Let me show you this" _proceeds to blind us through the screen_
I do need to see the bad dragon video. Please tell me you made that video.
Deception on a chinese product?
Some Guy noooooo
scandalous!
You said, you have to pack it tightly, to avoid un-excited powder to come to the outer side. So it is quite wasteful to fill them completely with powder. You should make it similar to fluorescent tubes: just cover the glass wall with powder. Either by filling in some quite low viscosity glue or lacquer and pour this out, then fill it with powder and also pour out the amount which does not stick or mix a very low viscosity resin with the powder, fill it in the vial swirl it around quickly and pour the rest into the next vial.
Looking forward to 'Bigclive's dodgy channel of glow in the dark smut and smut accessories' .. no really.
Clive I have some pigment that's from technoglow, this stuff is so strong once charged it will light up an entire room for a while has a good charge life too of a few hours
you mentioned bad dragon. instantly liked and subscribed.
Welcome.
Make sure you're also subscribed to the live channel, "BigCliveLive" and have notifications set to "All".
Bad Dragon mentions are fairly common there.
Frickin furry. Same tho
i think that the optical properties of the resin might help any incoming UV light to scatter deeper beneath the surface, compared to just having bare powder, and also in turn scatter the glow from the deeper parts of whatever you are making
that is my explanation for why the resin 'pebble' glows much more than the powder vial
Clive thank you so much for this video I’ve been wondering which powder is best, please do test which powder stays lit up the longest time, like the type they mix into emergency stripes for fire staircase so ppl see the stairs in the dark
I'd love for Clive to put some of the non ad friendly videos on P-Hub, like the bad dragon idea.
We need more of these glue in the dark projects ;)
Thank you for your wonderful videos. May I suggest that you leave a parts list for each one?
Does the factory that makes these actually need lights any more? LOL J/K.

That new glow powder seems like it would be cool to mix in with a clear epoxy and make one of those acrylic or glass awards. Might use that pigment powder to repaint some old watches I have where the hands have stopped glowing.
Greetings and happy pride month from a new fan happy to find your videos! Really keen to try some of those! Recently I was looking to buy a resin and glow in the dark powders to decorate glassware with. I'm not too sure what epoxy or resin mix to use that would stick to glass and be ok with being hand washed and slight exposure to dishwashing chemicals and rubbing alcohol.
You may have to experiment with resins.
Bruh, this video was released in February.
How many months must we dedicate to people liking things up their butt?
I really like your voice ... It just calms me down
Did I hear Bad Dragon owo
I've heard that some gun channels started uploading to pornhub because of youtube's high restrictions. Maybe something to consider.
I wouldn't be surprised if a large portion of certain channel types started to use pornhub or something similar as a new platform there's only so much fuckery RUclips can get away with before people start looking elsewhere
You probably mean InrangeTV and it did this mostly as a joke and a statement. They uploaded videos on different video hosting sites to try and get people away from youtube. At least i didn't hear about any other gun channels doing this.
@@peterthepeter7523 I've definetly seen Gun Jesus next to a 2B cosplayer at a shooting range
Mmm, excitement! :) thanks for another fun video! I'm really happy I stumbled across your channel!
Put the bad dragon video on you're website Clive 😂
Or open a new "NaughtyClive" channel on another platform.
He probably has to pay for bandwidth. Placing videos on his site would be a good way to get an outrageous hosting bill.
I used to by the killabitz and watchlume kits but now I use the glopowders from Stuart Semple.
It might be worth comparing them to generic strontium aluminate powder side by side. He may be a marketing artist too.
bigclivedotcom
I'd agree on the "marketing" for his Blue powder as it doesn't flow anywhere near that of the Greet Lit.
To ensure no airgaps, you could have used a small nail to tamp it down.
A platform for your more risqué videos could be LBRY.tv / LBRY.social. They also allow you to set up synchronisation of your entire RUclips video collection as a backup, which can be handy should you suddenly get strikes on your channel. It integrates with the LBRY cryptocurrency with the concepts of micro-payments either priced by you or via tips. It is still in its infancy, so it isn't on par with RUclips in terms of features - particularly with commenting and performance due to its decentralised architecture.
It's gaining momentum quickly though and it could certainly rival YT in time !
I recently bought a product called Ni Glo Gear Marker by Gear Aid that is basically the same as Clive's pendant. It is very bright when I give it a quick charge with a high power LED flashlight. So bright I could almost read by it. Fades over time, but stays luminescent for a solid 6 hours.
What is it wih you and the bad dragon stuff? Are you hiding something? 🤔
"I'm sure they have them in Birmingham too."
I recently heard that Phillip Schofield was gray. I must admit, I always had my suspicions.
I don't think he's hiding anything, he did shove that electrode up his butt once XD
He's Scottish. Varka is Scottish. HmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.....
Tips for 2 part epoxy. Keep wood alcohol (menthol from the hardware store paint section) handy. It makes quick clean up of the resin before it sets. A disposable hypodermic syringe with an applicator needle works wonders filling small tubes and cavities. Add the resin with the tube tilted so it does not run to the needle. Insert the plunger and with the needle pointed up, press out the air and the resin bubble free will collect on the piston. With the air out, insert the needle to the bottom of the cavity to fill and fill from the bottom up. Creates good fills with few if any trapped air bubbles. If you are quick with the alcohol, you can clean the needle and syringe for the next glue job.
Another platform: LBRY.TV ;) you can also auto-import your youtube videos onto it
I have a suggestion for you to try... Sorry for the US terminology... Could you take a 4 foot F32T8 fluorescent lamp and replace the phosphor with strontium aluminate? And add a little tritium gas to the argon mercury mix? Would make for an interesting emergency light.
Just call it 'body painting' and RUclips runs a mile bad dragon or not
By the way dear Clive, there are nozzles you can buy for two-part resins that will mix the components inside said nozzle before it exits. This should make your precision resin work a lot easier.
Aren't these a one-use proposition i.e. they'll be useful as long as the two parts are _flowing through_ -- after which they are trash? If single-use, they're wasteful, unless you're applying the entire quantity of the two parts in the tubes. Cheap, small, low-waste mixing nozzles for hand-size resin and epoxy syringes would be wonderful.
"tappy tap ta~p"
Hey Clive, Thanks for making the video it is great.
Is the Strontium aluminate safe?
For example: If a person purchased a large quantity and mixed it with varnish then coated a table with it.
Would it be safe or could there be bleedthru if a person put food on the bare table?
Powder.... from China...
Well, you can be sure that they're 100% safe.
idk, there some pretty nice chinese powders out there.
hearing you talk about the beginning of the pandemic is pretty eerie clive
It turned out slightly differently than expected.
I noticed the strontium aluminate pigment is quite abrasive. It's harder than glass, which is not surprising, since it's so similar to corundum.
Actually you should always try to paint a thin layer because the light is effectively absorbed and emitted by the outer layers of the powder (the power inside is just a filler). In thin layers the quenching will also be reduced. Use a little alcohol (or isopropyl alcohol) to make the epoxy a little thinner and easier to use.
Ireland has Uranium deposits, decay products are Radon and Polonium, with a half life of 3.8 and 138 days respectively.

Hello great video is there a powder you would recommend for powder coating ? that glows it would b a cool effect on atv and bikes .
The violet laser and glow in the dark combo is quite something. You could achieve some amazing effects with a vector laser projector and a wall of the stuff. Like a slow motion CRT.
With a bit of work you could make alternate red, green and blue pixels to scan colour images.
@@bigclivedotcom I wonder if you could mix all three together and stimulate them independently with different wavelengths? Then resolution would only be limited by what your laser galvos could do.
Interesting video I restore watches and sometimes have to repaint the dials, buy far the best lume is strontium aluminate, however its the purity you can actually make this stuff your self in a microwave but its very difficult to get in pure form. I believe Seiko invented this stuff and it became available in the late 90's.
That's what I use to relume certain dials.
I wonder if tritium could give strontium aluminate a charge.
Clive do you have any recipes for plug in air freshener refills?
Could you just fill the pendants with the resin powder mix instead of just the powder to eliminate the powder shifting around?
Yes but it would be very very difficult to get it without bubbles
@@alexpaww Prob need to use 30 minute epoxy to let the bubbles come out. Then again, bubbles might look interesting.
Hi!, for how long that green powder it glows after the charge of light?
I would definitely test every powder bag for radioactivity ... you never know.
I like the europium based powrders. They seem to be really good with brightness.
Keep in mind when you are exciting purples there is many factors that are going on. You need to have a source that is lower in wavelength than the pigment to charge them correctly, this is a property of how fluorescence works. I am betting the purple is a mix of red and blue but you would probably get better luck charging with a deeper UV light.
Also be careful with that laser, they say 5mw but they have tested here on my LPM 70mw+ at times. Keep the peepers, more about this danger on my shunt mod video.
Hope to use them for my Resin jewelry someday in the future
You might try using, say, a 2ml syringe to fill the vials. They have removable needles in varying sizes. 1ml syringes usually come with the needle built-in. Take a couple of vials to the chemist and see if they can recommend one to fit. They're cheap to buy, you'll get fair change from a quid. There's no prohibitions on buying them that I know of. Then mix the resin with the powder beforehand. You could also consider PVA glue as your resin. They sell it for kids pre-mixed with glow in the dark stuff.
Either way, a syringe filling from the bottom of the vial ought to prevent any bubbles.
I'd imagine the problem with them being the light won't persist for too long after dark. That's exactly the point of using tritium instead, it's constant, til it fades away after a few years. You're supposed to be able to read a map by tritium, so it's survival equipment, you can rely on it when you have no other light.
some people collect sand and put it in a vase, layering it so you can see all the separate colours, reckon it would work with this in one of these viles?
I have done it with little test tubes as the powder is much more expensive than sand and it works excellently. You can blend pigments and with some work you can get some really beautiful results with new colors, just don't shake once you're done. Caveat: shaking along the way a little bit results in some amazing mixing from randomness and some beautiful transitions.
@@Peter_S_ cheers! that's amazing
@@MothmanActual I think you should give it a go if it strikes your fancy. It's got quite its own aesthetic and it looks really great. Two tips: Work under a fluorescent Black light so you can watch what's happening, and if you want to make a nice blend between two colors, do the mixing in a V shaped piece of thick paper so you can almost "pour" the bend into your container once it's mixed. Using gravity, shaking, and a little spatula worked great. Cheers from Boulder, Colorado.
@@Peter_S_ smart !!
