That's such a great idea. I'm curious why that isn't already a product available? 🤔 Oh wait....it already is, although wildly expensive for some reason
I remember how these taste. (they're non-toxic but still don't eat them pls) The ones I had would always break and end up with the taste in my mouth. It was a bit bitter and some strange plastic mixed with chemical taste and nothing else, not sweet, not sour, not acidic and not spicy.
You're a really cool teacher. Your students are very lucky to have someone so passionate and enthusiastic about the subject matter, because attitudes are contagious. Keep up the good work!
My buddy's dad had like a gallon of the reagents in some bottles in his garage. We took them and filled a 2 liter bottle with that stuff and heated it up. The glow was nuclear! That was an awesome night, especially considering we were experimenting with some other interesting chemicals that night!
I broke a glowstick in half by accident and the fluid got into my eyes, it burned like hell. Luckily enough I got quick help and no permanant damage was done.
I've done this once before years ago, and learned that when you nuke the solution in a microwave & heat it up, the glow is way more intense-albeit with a shorter lifespan, of course. It was awesome. 😁🤓
One year, on Halloween night, I came across a large glow stick that looked like it was only half charged (the glow was a little bit more than feeble). I picked it up and proceeded to flex it more thinking that if I do this it will glow more. BIG mistake. That sucker cracked open and sprayed the upper half of my head and torso. Funnily enough I was heading back home to put on my costume when I came across the glow stick. Needless to say I was causing a bit of a stir walking around with my upper body glowing. 🤣🤣🤣🤪 Btw: yes, that fluid itched horribly as it dried. Had to take a couple of showers to get it off. Because the first shower didn’t get it all. Still, fun.🤣
I remember in the Late 80's when they started making these, I cut one open and got it all over the place and my cousin was Messing with me and told me they were "Radioactive" and I was gonna get Cancer LOL.. It messed me up so much that I became a Physicist just to find out she was Effing with me lol
This is awesome. Id like to build a super soaker type water gun, where the chemicals are mixed as they squirt out. It'd be like a luminous flamethrower.
I'm an epoxy resin artist, and I love experimenting with all kinds of odd stuff to put in the resin to see the reaction. Now Im going to try a glow stick.
@@gabedarrett1301it causes a chemical reaction with the hydrogen peroxide in the glass tube, once the glass breaks it releases the hydrogen peroxide into the mixture of oxalate ester and fluorescent dye, the hydrogen peroxide and oxalate ester create a chemical reaction that causes the dye to illuminate until the reaction is finished
@@Queen_Draculaura_ people want to hear mechanism, not just "cause a chemical reaction" repeatedly. What is the reaction- what type? Why is it sustained and not instantaneous? Is there a catalyst?
One night after a shower, I opened up a tube which was originally for Military use. I smeared the liquid over my masculine part and ran around the living room at night. My wife was not impressed with with me turning the lights off and interrupting her TV viewing. It glowed well.
Intrusive thoughts: "Drink it, drink the juice, you must drink it, drink the goddamn juice, you could just buy some glowsticks and drink the juice, just do it"
I use to cut my glow sticks and fling them along my walls and ceiling to have a "starry" night, before the projectors came out. Probably wasn't the healthiest thing but I did clean my walls.. to do it again.
That's interesting, I thought the peroxide was usually in the ampule instead of the other chemicals. It seems like it would be more stable that way. Though maybe they're more likely to be damaged by freezing that way?
_"I can't help myself when I see huge ones...I got to cut them open and show you what's inside"_ I thought this is a chemistry channel, not a serial killer channel...
I was a young Navy Junior Officer on a Navy Oiler….in the middle of the North Atlantic….coming home after a long tour overseas, refueling the fleet. I had the midwatch. Boredom, everyone tired, thinking only of getting home. One of my guys, good Sailor, but always on the “edge of trouble”. He came from money…his father made him join….I guess to get him to grow up. Anyway, some point in the watch, my bridge wing watch called me out “Mr A, Mr.A….what the hell is that….looking down to where he was pointing, I could make out what appeared to be a glowing, dancing skeleton!!! Leaping and moving all around the foc’sle. I dispatched the POOW to go and check it out….as we all watched from the bridge. He came back with my prankster of a Sailor, dressed only in shorts and shoes. He had taken a couple of glow sticks, cut them open, and “painted” a skeleton on his arms and legs. Then proceeded to “entertain” our bored midwatch. There were some said I should have written him up--I didn’t….it was both entertaining AND ingenious. Besides….the chemical gave him a rash, that was punishment enough.
Over a decade back, we were in a mountain rave on waaay to much MDMA, and my buddy cut open some glowsticks and got it in his eyes lmao. He was covered in glow liquid, and other freaked other people out at that rave.
When you think how this is what you see fireflies do, it blows your mind just a little. We use to have a pine tree out front, and a swarm of fireflies would occupy the canopy just underneath, during the summer. It was something seemingly magical. When Led Zeppelin says the lyrics, "and the fireflies,under the pine", I can't help but recall those years, and that pine tree, in the front yard. (🏡🔥🪰🌲🔥🪰🤠)😌
I grew up in the '80s and as a little kid I dreamed of the day when there was going to be more than just the green glow sticks that were available at the time.
My grandfather Thomas Grooms stumbled appon this chemical reaction while working for the company who patented the glow sticks. He is the person who is responsible for what we know as "glow sticks". I have 3 of the first few glow sticks ever made and still in the original packaging. He also invented the edible ink on M&M's and Skittles. He is no longer with us. He passed in the early 2000's. He was a war vet who served in WW2, he received a metal of honor for his actions and dedication.
When I was in grade school back in the early 60s., We were encouraged to catch fireflies alive and bring them to school in a container. I think a lot of schools did that at the time. And, these were sent off somewhere and scientists were trying to figure out how living things could produce light without making heat.
My brother loved to take things apart as a kid. One summer night we had been given glowsticks and he took his to bed with him but he wanted to see what was inside and he broke it open. I remember walking by and seeing glowing green stuff all over the bed, floor and wall. It looked like someone shot an alien. My mom freaked out when she saw it and didn't really know how to clean it up. This was in the early 1990's. (It's not letting me thumbs up this video for some reason)
My grandparents back in the day held a lot of stock in BASF. Back in the 90's BASF used to send Christmas gift boxes around the same time they send out the 3rd Quarter dividends. The box was always a weird mix of whatever products BASF was releasing that year. Usually this meant things like Scotch Tape, Scotchbrite pads, etc. One year we got a big box of glowsticks, including some of those meant for military or commercial uses. One was a big stick that when cracked was as bright as a florescent light, but only lasted an hour.
one of my favorite " drunk person " jokes is to pour one half of the contents into the toilet, then float a piece of plastic wrap on the surface and put the other half on top. when someone uses the toilet, it mixes it and the water glows.
Every time I see a glow stick now, I always remember the “what did you do to your new shirt?” Dad and his son who microwaved them until they exploded in his face.
I vividly remember chewing on a glow stick when I was in kindergarten and it exploded in my mouth. Haven’t touched a glow stick since and I can still taste it
Wasn't expecting Nosferatu

Mothers always told their kids it was toxic or we'd all have cut em apart all the time, but obviously it's not. If it was he would've been careful.
I've always wondered why you had to crack glowsticks to light them up, and now that has been answered.
What's even cooler is when this happens in nature, whether it's some sort of insect or an algae or some deep sea creature. Love it!

If I recall correctly, the two chemicals are hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye. How exactly does this reaction produce light?
It’s 3 chemicals, the third is Diphenyl oxalate .

thats honestly likely it cause peroxide has some water content that could puncture if frozen potentially
More likely so that an expiration date can be shorter - and sell more product.
