Many years ago (1981), I was winter camping in the Welsh mountains. I'd brought along some Kendal Mint Cake. This is mostly sugar. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw light each time I broke a piece off. The air temperature was around -5 c. This video explains what I was seeing. Thank you.

I discovered this years ago after I was told Australian Aboriginal shamans used clear quartz as a torch - I couldn't figure how this would work. When I rubbed two together I found the sparks were more internal in the crystal - however my crystals were smaller in diameter than those you have used. I wondered if a machine rubbed two together at a constant rate that perhaps they would "turn on" - light up like a bulb and stay alight?

I wish I would have saved them but I didn't think they were worth anything, and it would have just been too much of a hassle as I was on an excavator and was too busy as well. I knew about their properties and uses but didn't know how I'd get them home too. Man that would have awesome to have a bunch though, especially the big ones. I wonder how much they sell for.

I used to work at a shop that made quartz rings that would act as fill material in a critical step when making semiconductors. They were around 12" in diameter and could cost as much as 5000 a part. They were also super hard, but brittle, and were this special quartz alloy of sorts. Machining them with diamond tooling was hard to do correctly. Whenever we'd scrap one we'd have to break it by throwing it into a bin. It was cool seeing them spark when they broke.

Piezoelectricity is produced when some crystalline structures / materials are put under stress when bending or twisting pressure is applied. Piezoelectric effects are commonly used in vibration pickup sensors and strain gauges which are calibrated by design to translate the level of output voltage (and the frequency of that voltage) into a value that can be interpreted into a fairly accurate display output. The luminescent effects of stressing crystalline molecular / compounds / materials are related to piezoelectricity in that "electrical discharge" takes place that can amount to a pretty high voltage spark-gap-jump. Pushing the red spark button on your gas grill sends that piezoelectric discharge up a well-insulated wire and out to a ceramically encased "spark plug" that is a few millimeters away from the gas discharge ports on the burner unit. Crunching on wintergreen mints in a dark room, while watching yourself in a mirror, with your mouth open, demonstrates this form of energy discharge as well. The novelty of the mint cake posting prior to this post shows that becoming "crystallized - frozen" at -5°C is a great example of how the characteristics of a compound can be affected in order to release energy based changes like temperature.

@dogsarebest7107 Жыл бұрын

You don't need to break them. They make light and elecitricty without them breaking, that's how piezoelectric ignitors (in cigarette lighters, bbq pit starters, etc) ignitors work, it hits them with a spring loaded hammer, but not hard enough to shatter them. There is a metal foil attached top and bottom, going to wires, where you want the electricity to go. They can make tens of thousands of volts! Edit: The BBQ ignitors are real useful tools! On old style christmas lights (pre-led), zap the prongs, and it makes them work again! Christmas lights have a little fuse at the bottom, to bypass a burned out bulb, but sometimes there isn't enough voltage to cause the breakdown. Zapping a few times with a piezo ignitor, with thousands of volts, is enough to blow holes through the material, so when you plug it back into mains, it can then work properly! A few other uses too!

When I was a kid, my father use to live out in the country not far from a large river. The flood plain for this river was large and there were areas infilled between the more resistant rocks and hills that contained ancient gravel layers that were deposited from where the river use to flow freely. I guess erosion and tectonic action over the course of many millions of years changed the landscape. His yard was red/tan clay with lots of rounded quartz pieces but only a 1/2 mile up the road there were prominent hills with fresh vein quartz, slate and other rock types associated with this areas geological formations. On really dark nights we would go out in the driveway area which was really just a large barren patch of ground between the road and his house and pick up a piece of quartz and throw it at the ground. When the quartz struck other pieces of quartz it would often give off this same "flash" of light which lasted for only seconds. We didn't understand the science behind it at the time just thought it was cool.

*COMPLICIT TO EVIL; HIGHLY CORRUPTIBLE PERSONALITY TYPES* I DESPISE ISFP and 'ESFP' personality types! They are just as evil as narcissits! They are narcissit-friendly and have little control over their pointless mind - especially at the worst possible time! ESFP tend to be unapologetically stubborn-anything to avoid getting "upset" despite ALWAYS being 'emotionally-disturbed' (secretly; malicious-emotions is hidden just beneath the surface). They both unconsciously believe that other people exist to serve and be consumed by them-like a drug. All to balance the unstable chemicals in their brain responsible for emotions. The [ISFP] 'secrecy'/suspicious, introverted behaviour makes them try to remain convert - this manifests as a hidden [unintelligent] threat for other people later on (as when spotted and contacted by a narcissit, they will quickly comply as they have little emotional-resiliency and humanity). ISFP/ESFP embody what it means to be 'diabolically-unintelligent'! "Better you than me". A typical closet belief of the former. Worsened by ESFJ psychological-rape. Sad fact, Judas-Iscariot was definitely one of them (ISFP). His little humanity and small intelligence, resulted in the diabolical imbecile intentionally 'throwing Jesus under the bus' in a "moment of emotional vulnerability" (typical, whiney ISFP excuse) - only to end up regretting what he's done by the time he comes back to what little sanity he initially had. When I psychoanalyse this overgrown-fetus, I realize that he had a covert, malicious-jealousy complex, and was secretly emotionally-disturbed, and highly prone to 'oblivious-codependency' (look it up, that is classic ISFP psychology, which explains how r-tarded they really are. Education only helps them hide how intellectually-immature they really are). If your life was in danger, the more dire the situation is, you'd be better off making sure that the nearby ISFP/ESFP in the group is dead! This will maximize the likelihood of the group success/escape, as the ISFP cannot be trusted! They will likely do something r-tarded at the worst possible moment-getting themselves and everyone else killed (or the ISFP might panic and push a teammate under the bus as the ISFP feared getting sacrificed first- inexcusable, particularly since they ARE the threat, them and other narcissits (ESFJ/ESTJ are synonymous with cluster-b). These r-tards actually empower narcissits, especially during elections and for typically r-tarded reasons/motives). Anyway, ISFP/ESFP have little to no humanity, and they are delusional and have difficulty understanding themselves (which says a lot about their intelligence), i.e. they have difficulty even recognizing their own emotions! Plus they often suppress it (too narcissitic to bother processing it). They really are walking, overgrown-fetuses- failed human beings! I bet Adam and especially Eve in the Bible were ISFP! They also typically have difficulty recognising evil and are often in relationships with narcissits! And then the ISFP will breed more victims into the toxic, tortuous relationship!

Crystals can be used to create cold light through a phenomenon called triboluminescence. When crystals are rubbed, impacted, or broken, they release a flash of light without producing heat. This is because the energy of friction, impact, or breakage triggers the separation and reunification of static electrical charges within the crystal, resulting in the emission of light.

Here's an idea..... 1st iteration: Yake a quartz Cristal and make a big ring. make another ring that fits snuggly into the inner diameter of the previous ring of quarts. (This will have the two rings, touching, but capable of spinning over and within each other) The friction of the two rings should generate the light. You'll need to build a device for the rings. You'll also need to take into account basic physics like centrifugal motion. If you can, get the crystals to steadily generate light. You can put some solar panels around or incasing the rings to harness the light energy into usable energy. You can use magnets and gravity to perpetuate motion for the jump start, but when it's generating enough power from the solar encapsulation and the tribolumenecense effect, you will then be able to have an Adriano set-up alternate back and forth between solar and mag power generation, to perpetuate motion. Might work. Fk idk, I'm just stoned.

I paused this video right away, just go try it. I have quartz crystals, I tried rubbing them together, it didn't work. But when I hit them together it worked really well

Hey you should get a thick quartz rod, cut it in half as squarely as possible, and use a lathe to rub the two cut surfaces together.

Is there maybe a certain shape of the small quartz pieces that can create brighter light ?

Try round quartz, like after they've been in a tumbler. Or idk, whatever shape and particle size maximizes surface contact. There has to be some optimum that produces a lot of light.
