There was this Kid... :) do a google search for "Nuclear Reactor Fusion Science Kid" and yes.. It was a DIY. I am not sure RUclips would allow a DIY nuclear reactor. There have been 14 people who DIY'd their own nuclear reactor. (According to the article)
There's a difference between a homebrew nuclear reactor (which can be DIY if you're brave enough) and a nuclear power station. And hell - Michio Kaku built a particle accelerator in his garage when he was a kid. That's unconventional DIY but still DIY.
I've always dreamed of making electrical components and devices from scratch at home, and it's awesome that you're already doing it! Keep up the good work, Ben, it's really interesting and sometimes even inspiring!
so this is what all those other projects have been working towards. this is awesome. and i like that you put the Lambda symbol from Half-Life on the LCD :D
Lol, I literally spent the night watching your videos, the fact that you just uploaded this one feels like "here, there's another one for ya, have fun" lol keep the good work Ben, you're our hero! Hope I can be like you one day
I remember coating ITO slides with synthetic opal films in my undergrad, using electrophoretic deposition. I still have a couple of those coated slides because they're so pretty.
Did you set out to make the LCD before building the sputtering chamber, UV exposure rig, etc., or did you build those things on their own and then one day realize, "hey, I have all the stuff I need to make an LCD from scratch"? Your videos never cease to inspire!
Hi Ben, I'm playing around with this myself. In the other LCD video you talk about using a mix of nematic and chiral liquid crystal to get the right characteristic, could you indicate what the composition of the mix was in this video, also did you use glass microbeads in the setup? Thanks.
I like how it's all coming together and now you have a working LCD. Are you going to make the micro grid that would enable you to make actual pixel displays as well?
I love this whole subject of DIY and hand made electronic stuff! Do you think it possible to hand make a transistor ? The very first one looks very hand made.
JiveFowl No clue seems I am missing a sputter gun, electron microscope, particle accelerator, xray machine collection, death ray, and many other fun toys. :(
Firstly, great educational video! I realize it might be a shot in the dark, but after seeing your video I'm thinking I can revive a faulty (leaking) lcd screen by replacing the liquid electrolyt between the glass plates. There are quite a lot of different mixtures for sale online, is there anything you could recommend? My LCD screen is from the early '90s.
Great video!. I have a silly question, in a LCD panel, is it possible to detach the TFT layer from the color filter layer (RGB) without compromise their integrity? I need to work with the TFT layer and its drivers, do not ask me why.
Hi Ben, I have a question for you, Do you think is possible to remove the color mask from a TFT IPS lcd in a "diy"home environment in order to obtain a gray-scale display, this question is related to lcd 3d resin printer, so if you have a gray-scale screen you can triple the resolution and the uv(400-415nm) light that passes trough a ordinary LCD to harden the resin, Thank you
That's awesome Ben. Is it theoretically possible to make a color LCD stack by using 3 layers of slides? (You could probably make 6 colors then) Or would you have to put them side by side like an LCD monitor? Maybe you have to figure out backlighting first though...
Hi Ben, great video. I wonder, could you skip the photo resist step? Could you raster an electron beam to create a negatively charged image on the substrate and then sputter. Assuming the shutter gun produces positive particles, they would be attracted to the negative and form electrodes in the desired shape. With more than one sputter gun you could even dope the electrodes on the fly. I can think of reasons why this wouldn't work but i have no practical experience . Thanks for these great videos.
Hi I am wondering what specific chemical you used for your liquid crystal? Also, what polymer layer did you coat it with before running it with the cloth? Thank you
that's really cool, do you have plans to make some multi-part displays, similar to the displays on a watch or a calculator, shapes you can independently toggle on and off?
Does black region (when display is turned on) blocks light in near infrared spectrum? Like from cheap IR LEDs. If so, I would consider building such a display for myself. Great video and tutorial! :)
So, industrially, they have the pre-made parts like the reflector and polarizing filters, and they etch the ITO with traces going to the component leads? Great video!
Just interested in knowing how you are driving this display. I see a lot of info online that describes these as capacitive devices requiring a driver that pulses the electrodes at a given frequency, inverted signal between the common electrode and each “segment” electrode’s pulse. Also, I haven’t tried, but wondering how best to make contact with the metallic deposits on the glass. Is there a more permanent connection that can be made, like bond wires to the glass, and besides just taping them on, is there a more permanent way to bond wire to the glass? Can solder bond to the etched electrodes? Very interesting video to say the least! Thanks!
interesting work and educating video, I have a question about conducting coating, it seems a complicated process to built it but is there any way to repair a scratched conducting coating on an LCD screen glass on the edges where contacts are? thanks

Very nice. That turned out much better than I was expecting.
i know I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Watson Corbin yup, I have been watching on FlixZone for since april myself =)
@Watson Corbin thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !
@Louis Duncan You are welcome :D
something you can easily do with the supplies from your nearest NASA parts provider
I love how people are saying this isn't DIY. DIY stands for 'Do It Yourself.' He did it himself, didn't he?
well then when a scientist builds a nuclear plant"himself" then its diy no i didint think so
A Lind Stay with me now, because I think I spotted a flaw in your argument: nuclear plants are built by *teams of engineers*.
I would like to meet the person who single handedly manages to accomplish that!

Your LCD works quite well, I'm impressed.
Looks awesome, Ben! Very cool!
its so exciting that this kind of information is shared with normal people!

This is great, because I have all these supplies under my kitchen sink. Who knew it was so simple!
I love how you make all your own specialised tools, then use those tools to make cool stuff.
You sir are a boss. Great work!
This is so impressive, thanks for sharing!
That is totally AWESOME!
i've seen these kind of things on keychains, good to know how its made. thanks!
Really cool ! Thanks a lot for this insightful video !
Excellent video !!!! Thanks
You're crazy Ben, don't ever change! :D

This is amazing! Great chemist!
Woah! Good job. That's awesome.
Love your videos
man i love your videos
Amazing! That is very clever!
Congratulation to final success and a well chosen pattern for it.
This is glorious!
You're a true inspiration. Keep it up :)
i appriciate your love and dedication to science and the level of your lab, i enjoy your channel daily.
keep up the good work
good work putting the pieces together.
im impressed! you are really smart guy!
It is an excellent video, sir. Thank you.
Ben - you are Mr Tech guy!!! I'm too old to learn this stuff but it is fascinating! :)
"Crystal clear", nice job!
More for the knowledge of how it all came to be in the LCD world. A1 info 👍
Thanks a lot for this! Wonderful and informative video :D
Great job.

Super cool!
This is such a cool channel.
You got a really well equiped lab ^^
Awesome, I love your videos! :D
Awesome :) nice results too! Thanks for sharing! Next Oled :P
What material you used as sputtering , which etching solution you use to etching , photo resist was Positive or Negative ??????
I like how it's all coming together and now you have a working LCD. Are you going to make the micro grid that would enable you to make actual pixel displays as well?

This still blows my mind that you are doing this in your garage.
You don't have a sputter gun in your garage? How do you live?!

This guy mastered many different sciences.
Very very impressive .
Your feats never cease to amaze me! Are you planning on making a 7-segment LCD in the future?

Good contrast on the display. I wonder how much it would have been improved by using 5 micron balls as spacers.
I have a question, what influence in speed of switching? voltage and area?
Really cool video
Iwill build my own display 😁👌
Pretty cool video. A lot of info to run with.
That's pretty darn awesome. (Where's the superscript 3?)
fscinating! Thank you!

very cool, Ben, I didn't know you could do that.
Good stuff Ben.
How much current draw?

"Fuck chemistry" they said
"You dont need it" they said
This is engineering..
Yeah, pure engineering with no physics or chemistry knowledge behind it.
Habitante19 Said no one ever...
Well it seems that you said it. Engineering is the application of that knowledge.
Habitante19 Well it seems you assumed it.
What voltage do you use to drive the LCD? Is it necessary to isolate ITO with SiO2 or other layer of isolation?
freaking amazing
excellent job Sir
How to get or make that Liquid crystal ???
What do you think - is it possible to use liquid crystals from commercial computer's LCD panels?
That is so fu'king cool ♥
Awesome!
very nice!

Do you have any ideas for sealing the stack? Need some way to hold it all together and prevent LC from leaking out

Really cool. And not too bad contrast either.
Lite svårt för oss vanliga dödliga att hänga med, bara. Som behållaren som han droppar "fotovätska" i. Ligger glaset/glasen i den behållaren, eller?
Han droppar flytande kristaller på en tunn glasskiva, som han har belagt med ett väldigt tunnt metalllager på.
Excellent resolution
