- For New Years this year I thought I'd make myself a new storm glass. You can read about how these devices were used to predict the weather here: www.strangeapparatus.com/Storm...
See my original Storm Glass video here: • How to make a STORM GL...
Thank you to my Patreon supporters! In large part to all of you I have a new camera on the way that will be an upgrade to my GH2 that I have been filming with since 2012. If you are not one of my Patreon supporters and would like to help my channel to improve check out my page here: / nighthawkprojects
Special thanks to my top Patrons! Syniurge, Matthew Leitzke, & TheBackyardScientist!
Looking at the thumbnails that proliferate RUclips these days can be a very demeaning experience, and I appreciate how NightHawkInLight addresses us with respect even at the expense of potentially fewer views. He focuses on quality, not quantity, and in doing so he remains an oasis of informative and interesting videos.
And that piano in the background was really nice.
:) it bears more information over 1D-thermometer, possibly gradients
Indeed
If only we knew then how much worse the entire platform would become in every possible way. At least there are reasonable competitors nowadays.
That direwolf glass bottle...winter is coming!
winter came and the zombie dragon broke the great wall making all mexicans pour in
this would look awesome in that skull vodka bottle
timmy drake ooh
I have a few of those small ones.
Well, gonna have to put that on my to-do list.
Very cool, and as usual, your video and audio quality was top notch. :-) Have a nice New Years!
Thanks! Happy New year!
When you asked what should you do, I was thinking you should do a couple reworks. We all appreciate a good sense of perfection.
Hey Ben! Crazy to see how big your channel has been around. I've been watching since the Suns and Planets Shell build! Really hoping you'll get some more fireworks stuff up eventually, but I'm definitely enjoying your current stuff!
Awesome project! Have a happy New Year, Ben!
Great videography man. Also a fun project!
Thanks!
It was a great Christmas gift!
This reminds me of those heat packs with the little metal thing that you snap.
Amazing Storm Glass! I have got to try making one of these!
"Found this 750ml bottle"
How convenient that it was just lying around ;-)
He's a grown ass man, he can drink as much as he wants
Jaded Lion I'm not judging. I'm also a grown ass man who drinks as much as he wants. I just found amusement in the way NightHawk worded it
Well, technically he did find the bottle, he just might have emptied it too ;)
drink all you want it never changes what it does to you... what does it do?
He found the bottom the night before
This looks awesome as a home deco object! I'm deffinitly going yo give this a try!
Very enjoyable, no nonsense video. Thanks!
Absolutely stunning, would love to make one if i could get materials xD
The music choice in this vid is also amazing.
keep up the good work :D
I am going to have to make one in the future, another cool video thanks :)
hey man, really appreciate how you have kept to making quality videos unlike other channels *cough* *kingOfRandom* *cough* I really appreciate it, keep up the great work!!!!
You have very creative videos. You are my #1 favorite RUclipsr!
I look forward to doing this! Nice video.
THIS WAS AMAZING I seriously want to make this now
It's about time you uploaded
Thanks for this interesting upload.
Woah i both never expected and toally get why NighthawkInLight would have made one of these!!
I suddenly think about storm glasses, and I searched for it, I saw your old vid, and just one day ago, u made a new one
awesome looking
thanks nighthawk!
amazing Technic !!!
This is so cool
Hey Nighthawk, this was fun. I made this to the "T" following your instructions, even to the 750ml bottle. Maybe we could share experiences over the summer where solubility changes. It was very interesting and entertaining to see the change over and 8 plus hour period of warm to cooling off in the bottle. Since it has stabilized and here where temperature is roughly 65F is stayed the same regardless of weather rain or clear days. Solids staying at about 3-4 inches at the bottom, had a tooe and bottom solids day when the temp got below freezing, with vague or minimal looking frosting showings.
Glad to hear it worked for you! You'll see the most changes to the crystals if you leave it in a place with large temperture swings
@@Nighthawkinlight I agree, it is a 1700's device, to say the least, but the entertainment factor is beyond what the current world provides me. Thank you so much for this cool project. I really have enjoyed it!
The intro looks like a vodka commercial
Rytis Rakauskas it's made me really want vodka haha
Really nice. Too bad it never snows down here, in Brazil. :/
better than here in the Netherlands, it is freezing cold here but it never snows, only rain or hail :/
Aaron Schoots Yeah, I know what you mean. :/
niet een hollander hier verwacht
haha sorry for talking dutch ^,^
haha ik ook niet
we zijn overal!!!!!!
en ook heel veel mist nu, beter is het morgen niet zo mistig met de jaarwisseling :/
its beautiful experiment... :O
When you poured the liquid into the bottle, did you wait for it to cool down first or did you just pour it in and then stick the lid on?
I only let it cool enough that I wouldn't worry about it cracking the bottle
that's amazing
Be careful heating alcohol. It's flammable and even more so when hot. I'd recommend avoiding a flame (no gas, use an electric hotplate), don't ignore the advice about having a cover for the pot (can use to extinguish), and have a 'B' type fire extinguisher on hand. Do outside if possible.
Vangelion there isn't enough alcohol to fill the volume of the room to the point where it reaches the open flame, since the evaporating alcohol with quickly rise out of the area
nice job.
Very Cool project;)
thats awesome
if we wash the pan where we do the liquid,it can be use for cook after?
Thanks For Your Vid,it's still cool to see beautiful things :)
NICE VIDEO
It would be cool to add a sumergible resistance so that with the push of a button you can heat the flask again so tha everything dissolves
Holy shit. I love it when I'm early
THis is sooo cool!
I have just subscribed to your channel, 900ml of 100 proof, aswell as all of your listed ingredients are cooling in my saucepan right now. ha ha. fun stuff. thank you for shareing your video!
Let me know how it goes!
What do you think about combining a Lava Lamp with a Storm Glass? I'm not sure if the wax or salt would interfere with the storm glass chemicals.
Thanks for the instructions! Would it be necesary to fill the flask to the brim or would it be enough with just about 2/3 of it? Do you think it would still work as well as on a full flask? Thanks in advance :D
Yes it seems to be more temp dependent, which means that a thermometer would suffice; interestingly the original "Beagle" storm glass also had a stopper in it, leading to conjecture that every so often the stopper would be taken out for second to let the inside pressure become equal to the outside pressure, thus giving it both the temp & barometric factors; just conjecture ; arising from hard to decipher crystal formations to equate to projections of "future" weather which so many say are "iffy" at best. Imho: a pot & spout ol fashion Barometer is not so bad to give relative pressure rise n fall (not exact pressure readings although one could "try" to calibrate a pot/spout type by filling water with exact ml of water, then using weather station barometric pressures make an approximate scale. A pinhole at top of spout type would minimize water evaporation losses.
hi nighthawk, very nice video, do you have the temperature interval from where it starts to precipitate to when it completely cristalize?
yay
I got an empty bottle of Crystal Skull Vodka I’m gonna do this with.
Hi there! Quick question, did you cork the bottle with the solution in it while it was still hot or should you wait for it to cool first? Thanks!
Lovely video! Is there a chanche you can share with us what music did you use in the video?
Would putting ice on the pot lid lessen the alcohol loss even more? It may not matter, but it may help with some of the separating.
How do you know when all the chemicals are fully dissolved? should the mixture be clear when we take it off the heat source and pour it in a bottle? should we wait to cork the bottle after it cools down to room temperature? while waiting for it to cool down, is it ok to put the bottle in the freezer to speed up the process?
What was the content of the bottle and its manufacturer ? It is beautiful.
Also I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
At what temperature does it crystallise?
Dude, you should make a startup and sell some cool quality storm glasses for ppl that like cool things.
Howdy!
Great video! No one around me sells 100 proof anything (I assume I could use any clear spirit) so I'm reduced to making it myself. I was planning on buying 95% ethanol at the store and mixing it with distilled water at 55% | 45% but they only sell isopropyl alcohol (91%). Before I buy a few I was wondering if anyone knew if isopropyl will dissolve camphor and whether it changes anything dramatically?
Cheers!
Make α Christmas themed snow globe with it.
Do you not have a sepratory funnel? I would have used that to get rid of the top layer. I think it would be smart for you to invest in one, they are generally not that expensive.
Im going to do this for sure i fkin love snow...
I wonder how they came to learn this "recipe" ,if you will, will have this type of effect. Was it initially used for something more common? Then the discovery the effects temperature or atmospheric pressures has on this concoction? Was this by accident or planned design? Cool video all the same.
Great video! Why 900ml vodka for a 750ml target bottle? Could you have reduced each quantity by a sixth?
You have to heat up this bottle every time when it stop crystalizing?
Showed my dad this, he wants to make one
Yeaaaaaaaa
try looking up crystal head vodka, I would be interested in making a storm glass out of one of those
For the separated layer on top, Is it better to syphon it off or to leave it as is?
Is it possible to do this with 40% or 60% vodka? Or will I have better luck mixing 50-50 of ethanol and water to get the desired effect? As I live in Sweden with our monopoly on liqour sales I can't find a vodka that is exactly 50% of alcohol, I'd have to import one which is very expensive. Otherwise, great project and great video! :)
pretty
I want to make one but I can not find camphor tablets. So i have a couple questions.
1. Can it be synthetic camphor or does it have to be natural?
2. Can you use any form of 100%camphor? Lotion...oil...etc.?
I'm still asking if you could tell me the music on the intro of the 1st storm class video!
where can I find that bottle? really likes the design.
How tight does the seal need to be? The first video had a canning jar, this one has a cork stopper. Could you use an apothecary jar with a lid that sits on top without a seal?
It will work fine without a seal, but the liquid will evaporate away over months and years.
I love videos like this. But I have a feeling that if I brought this to Minnesota this winter, the temperature wouldn't really vary that much.
bad ass
could you also use something like rubbing alcohol as solvent?
By how much is the footage sped up?
What is the the music in the background?
Does isopropryl alcohol diluted to 50% work, or do the denaturants ruin the effect?
if you add a dye to the materials, can the snow be made red? or am i just so far off?
On the first part of the video I was on my phone and rotation lock was on and I watched the first part up side down and I didn't even notice 😂
Could this be mixed with glow in the dark fluids?
Possibly
NightHawkInLight
I could see a problem where it reduces the opacity of the liquids and just becomes a murky mess. There is probably a fine line of concentration.
Chemiluminescent mixtures? No. It would make a complete mess and the reactions would not work.
Nice content as allways. wery fun home experiment, got one small made in Denmark brasshousing but want to make one myself. Looks like there are many rippoffs, camphor made like mothrepellant and synthetic and so on. any adress where to by clean camphor?? anyone?
Was that timelapse footage or real time?
Time lapse
Where do you get all the materials used in the video? Talking mostly about the ammonium chloride and potassium nitrate.
You can find most on eBay.
If only there is a storm glass that can work on tropical place like mine
You should mount an incandescent 100 watt lamp under it. Then you could turn it on then off so the process continues , like a lava lamp.
Can you do some guitar lesson videos or cigar box guitar lessons
Does anyone know what bottle Cody used?
Looks like it was very delicious
Wrong channel, I'm Ben. It's a Lunazul tequila bottle.
NightHawkInLight LMAO so sorry, I can be pretty stupid sometimes. Thanks so much for the reply!
So this only works for snowy weather? 😯 where i live there's crazy weather all the time, one day can be super hot and the next would be freezing.. that bottle would end up breaking if it worked here lol.. but it would be nice if it could predict thunderstorms, wind, huracans etc. lol just saying 😊
so being a subscriber without any adblock is not a support?
broman113 not really because it's the equivalent of being the one friend who gives moral support instead of actually helping.
So moral support is bad.
Wow, that is awesome, allthough i think i can't get any potassium etc. thingys without permission. i live in Finland
Why use vodka rather than denatured alcohol?
Video Aerial Systems Cause Soviet Russia thats why
cause its mixed up already? i would have to use denatured spirits because im not 21 lol
how much would I need for a half gallon mason jar?
Can I seal with silicone the bottle?
In your last video you mentioned that you had to put ice on top of the lid when boiling but not in the second video. Is there a reason for that?
Smaller bottle mouth makes less evaporation
Do you think it would work with glow aggregate? ☢️
I love how you use grams and ml
Am I gonna get put on any kind of watchlist if I order the ingredients needed to make this?
Yarcofin If you order them in industrial sized quantities, then yeah, probably :-p
