Never in my life have I had access to a mind like this who explains complex processes in such an easily understandable way - thank you RMS

Timeline - 08:55 - ""The bit I'm interested in >>> because I'm a chemist",... is what attracted me to this chanel many years ago,... RMS is a great inspiration to those who can THINK BEYOND their (studied) discipline,... !!! BRAVO .

I WORKED IN A RESEACH lab at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and did things no one in the world was doing, however, I never met a mind like you have, I think your up there with Michael Faraday.

I absolutely love watching your videos, Mr. Murray-Smith. You've developed a wonderful teaching persona!! Thanks for your amazing lessons.

I understand about 10% of what this chap says - which is "awesome" and why I watch every video ;-)

you make things that re usually overwhelmingly complex sound as understandable as a cooking recipe . amazing teacher .

I have come home from a bit of a hard day at the office, lots more COVID changes to make to so much that we do. Stuck Robert on and now watched about two hours straight. Not a minute wasted - Thank you Robert Murray-Smith every video is fascinating and educational.

Live watching this man as a generalist I understand about 90% and love that he gives links for more

Thankyou I'm going to philippines soon to live off-grid in a 20 foot shipping container transformed into a fabricated exspandable 5 room mobile home loaded with good excellent Australian hardwares and whitegoods that we can't purchase in Philippines but is like owning a goldmine in Philippines now I'm a strong minded believer in selfpropulsion mechanics and your channel helps us to get free energy from many items like alternators generators collecting power through momentum weighted science. Thankyou.

Dude, your videos are the best! So much knowledge and information! I can now work on turning my garden into a self sustaining energy source without having to spend money I don’t have! Thank you kind sir!

I'm glad to have found this video. I recover parts from tvs. The recycling centers I've gone to said that the LCD screen will just go to a landfill. Now I have some idea on how to deal with them.

Explained both clearly and made interesting, great tutor. Iv always taken things apart, fixed things, and tried to make things from broken things, this stuffs great 👍

Wowza! Thank you, Mr. Smith! So glad to have found you.🖖

A wonderfully nice man and a genius too! What a rare breed of man!

One of those videos (and channels) where just the one thumbs up isn't enough. Totally awesome content. RMS is a 21st Century renaissance man.x

Very well explained, Robert. Thanks

always learning something new on this channel. priceless!

aaaah the continuation. He saved my day. Thank you for the vid.

You are really laying it down in these videos! pretty advanced and lot of info but very interesting stuff

This makes me want to study chemistry. Thank you for all the detail. Looking forward to what comes next.

That was REALLY cool!!! I would have LOVED to see you come back with the end product at the end of this video! That was a LOT, you are correct. But DANG!! I understood some of it after only the first watching. I think I learned more in the this video than my entire semester of college chemistry! Thanks!

You teach like you're just learning things as well with excitement which makes it easier to learn than when a teacher acts as if they have known for years and the people they're teaching are dumb.

Insanely, brilliant video. Thanks so much.

Brilliant utilitarian resourcefulness. Thank you for this video.

I needed you as my chemistry teacher instead of Mrs. Key.....

I didnt even mean to watch this this. it was just so damn enthralling

Thank you, very interest and admirable how much knowledge you master.

So so so much useful info here. I felt like I had ADHD watching it. I had to review it a few times and it looked like you knew that. Brilliant!!!

I have fallen deeply in love with your brilliant mind! May I come stay in your workshop? LOL. You are amazing! Thank you.

Appreciate your time and expertise, and explainations of... Good job sir enjoyed your videos

Welcome Robert. My but you are , Just what the World needs Right now !

Thank you for such interesting practical videos. Dive into other of your videos to find more details "how to", as my zero knowledge level is not enough to do it successfully.

Your knowledge multiples , Nice !

Thanks for your experience sir

That is very useful. Thanks for sharing mate!

May I say you are really awesome, I wish you had been one of my teachers.

So far you have given me many ideas to get out of the hole I'm in so thanks. I have a route to market so now it's just the testing phase to get a reliable and consistent product. Fingers crossed. Another great video and more too think about thanks mate

Thank you Sir, for this knowledge. Grateful.

Full on video, might need to watch it a few times to make sure I get the process right. Great video, going into saved list!

Another gem of a video!

So much cool stuff in monitors and TVs. I’d love to see if that linear fresnel lens improves efficiency on a solar cell.

Fantastic. Always love your videoes.

This is truly working to a better tomorrow! Free energy from waste.🤔

Thanks for my new favourite channel.

im wondering what u think would be best of material to put up in the air an get static ion collection would love see vid on that idea

I don't really understand and probably couldn't even pronounce some of the words you said but WOW! However, I did also thing "Ah so that's what it looks like and how you recover it!". My brain is like a hard drive that needs defragging. I struggle to understand stuff, then suddenly the brain defrags (the penny drops) and I understand. Thank you for posting these wonderful videos, I love them! Take care, Poo

Hey Robert, great video!! I have been dismantling hundreds of monitors from this one dumpster that just keeps on filling up with them. The problem is when I scrape off the substance on the dark glass the dust is not a black color but of a white color. It seems to me to feel and look more like plastic than anything else. Thoughts?

Great bit of information.

Extremely interesting thanks.

Dang! I coulda had a sweet side business as a TV installer recovering indium tin oxide from all the broken LCD panels I had access to over the years, I did take apart a couple and kept some LED backlights and those focusing sheets - apparently you can construct an LED lighting panel that feels more like natural window light from the focusing sheets, which was my plan but I don’t really have the space to rework a 65” panel in my little place now - once I move it might be more of a possibility but harder to get ahold of expired TVs where I’ll be.

I'm curious which method you'd recommend to cut up the conductive glass into smaller pieces without losing its original properties.

Dear mr Robert. Could you do a video on recycling processes on a refrigerator? I simple love your Channel. You are so kind and interresting and devoted to your teatching! Regards Martin

Wow. So thankful 🙏.

Thanks for the video Robert! Really enjoying this. I would be interested in the generator.

yes please..i would like to see a video of how to make that generator..........your videos are awesome..thanks.

Hi Robert, wonderful video!! can you give some hints about how can you heat up such a big glass while spray the chemical to it without shattering the glass? and do you think a DSSC made this way can generate sufficient power? isnt the glass too high in internal resistance? thank you!

Wow! Great info

hey man, think you could make a video of how to easily scrape off the material that stops the more clear glass from conducting, im having a hard time. everytime i scrape it, the glass breaks...

nice job , thanks for sharing

Yes please would you mak the 2N3055 video I know what to do but others may not

Yes there is interest in setting that little generator!

Hi, will mixing aluminum powder with zinc oxide and apply to high temperature conductive glass give the desired effect?

Nice. Is the fernel lense like lenticular lense the same?

Fascinating

Ah the age old scientific statement; "That's a bummer. But that's the way it is". : ) Please keep up the excellent work

Thanks for sharing knowledge

Very interesting. @Robert Murray Smith. Y the name change from FWG to TnT

How many screens would you need to supply a three room household apartment ? And what do you think about the possibility of designing a project that supplies solar panel made from e waste ? How less expensive would the cost of solar panels be in the end?

I have been trying to get those 2 pieces of glass apart. I have not been successful. Do you have any tips on doing that? I really want to make a solar cell.

I loosely framed a piece of circular fresnel lens from a 60 inch flat screen and in the full summer sun, at just the right angle, the cement on my back porch would begin to explode in layers. That's hot!👍🤓

A bit over a year ago I dismantled 2 LCD screens and threw away them ITO parts, so now I am a bit crossed since I could've gotten indium off from those parts dang it. I did one LED lamp out of the other one. Although its quite weak at emitting light, it might be good for a light table for drawing purposes for some, one A4 fits almost just on it. Gotta ask for more screens from people to recover that stuff.

I love your videos man! I plan on doing this myself and make a few bucks! : )

Hahahaha! Bo, I so, SO love you right now! I've been collecting tv screens for about 4 years now for the gold in the displays but I never threw away the glass. I knew there was SOMETHING! I could do with it. I just hadn't found the process yet. I've probably got 1/2 ton of glass or more so yeah pretty happy right now. Thank you so very, very much for explaining this. Any tips or uses for glass recovered from old plasma screens?

Hey Robert, long time viewer here. I actually work at a company that coats glass for auto-darkening mirrors. And one of the main components is ITO. Over my years I have acquired various size scrap ITO targets that were broken or too small to continue to use and have always planned on doing something with them. I would love to send them to you for various projects if you'd like.

Is the glass on a copy machine the same type of optical glass?

Awesome Video

Have you ever used a vent hood for toxic fume removal? If so : What are the specs?

Great Video!

ok so if i make a solar cell out of the screen you were working on about how many watts would it produce before i use Fresnels and mirrors?

Facinating stuff👍

Fascinating!

we used to trash these thank you ---sir---vey nice vidieo---do you know if this will disolve plat -rhodium--in ores--?

I have a chance to get a brand new 65" curved LCD for almost nothing. Could I do something with that like this ya think?

I repair a lot of tvs from the trash I normally avoid tvs with broken screens, didn't see any value in it, cheers mate I might try recovering indium

Woah....barkeepers friend for indium/tin....so does it also work for other platinum group metals, or noble metals?

Rather than scraping the ITO off the glass, what about immersing the glass directly in a bath of hot oxalic acid, a bit like an etching tank? I guess that some chemicals from the glass might leach into solution, but as you said, leaving it for a few days will precipitate them out. Would that work without crushing the glass? (and save a heck of a lot of scraping...)

What’s the lifespan of this? Could you use this to make an alpha voltaic generator and will it last as long as the americium

Is there anyway you could make a solar panel/cell with CDs/DVDs and copper wire?

THANK YOU

Do you boil it a second time to get the pure indium?

I'd have to re-watch for context and or cross ref, but sometimes u r on top of answering so: can u get the color filters off the panel leaving a functional panel? I'd think this would be advantageous for resin based 3d printing

Hi , Can you make a video on how to make conductive film using ITO ( from powder) on plastic?

Very Interesting mate

RMS - light on silicon - could you do a perpetual battery flashlight? ie, putting the .5V through a few caps and a small dc/dc converter? could have the mossfet either outside or open the cone collector in the light itself

If you can now have ITO & Optical Glass at your beckon call without expense, you're now able to experiment with an unlimited variety of new PV chemistries and techniques. I would imagine you've got a lot of ideas you're going to try in the near future. Can't wait to see!

I'll be back for more! Good stuff :)

Adding those lens does work great but after your panel gets so hot it hurts the effectiveness I took some very thick heavy duty aluminum foil I just use thermal paste very thin to the foil to back kf my panels and slap all the extra aluminium heat sinks I salvage to that sheet on the panels makes a big difference especially if you mount the panel and len to a tilt and pan sun following base.

Would it work with a graphing coat ?

I had an idea to use a sheet of plastic or glass that is coated with indium tin oxide that then goes over a sheet of copper that has been heated with sulfur to make copper sulfide. And that is the solar panel of a junction of the copper sulfide and indium tin oxide.

Difraction gratings from monitors are cool for video effects
