This may sound crazy but what if u rigged up a vaporizer/humidifier somehow to get the full effect and use the glow fluid so it would produce glow in the dark clouds. Of course i know its not meant for inhalation but a controlled scenario could be created safely. I know you can do it so lets see it.

@michelledubois4237 6 жыл бұрын

To bounce off of your idea, what about using glow stick fluid in a fog machine and turning it on? Or if that is too dangerous due to inhaling the vapor, what about just adding tonic water instead of regular water and turning on a black light? Also, what does glow stick fluid do if added to tonic water? With carbonation or without? Id love to know!

@AfatterMan2 6 жыл бұрын

I'm not a chemist, but I'm quite sure their needs to be a collected amount of the liquid for the reaction to take place.. If you make it into a cloud there may not be enough of the liquid collected together in the air for the reaction to take place

@lewismassie 6 жыл бұрын

Glow sticks have two component: The coloured section and an oxidiser. When you heat them up the reaction goes faster, hence the increase in brightness, and the decrease in time. Using different strengths of oxidiser will speed up or slow down the reaction. I think the dish soap is a stronger oxidiser and hence is why it does that. Quite the lucky discovery there. Cleaning supplies often contain strong oxidisers (hence the bleach). Try pool chemicals as well. Source: I am a chemistry student

Basics of liquid chemical reactions. Hotter temps mean more collisions which means faster reaction. Higher pressure means more collisions which means faster reactions. You will lose brightness in the vacuum chamber and it would be more pronounced in room temp liquid.

You should combine several dozen glowsticks together in one jar then heat the glow fluid up. In another container heat up some dish soap.

A bunch of chemiluminescent chemical reactions that may be used to produce a glow in glow sticks, but the luminol and oxalate reactions are the most common way of doing so. A glow stick is a light source based on chemiluminescence. Snapping the stick breaks an inner container filled with hydrogen peroxide (which is why hydrogen peroxide didn't affect the glowsticks when it was added). The peroxide mixes with diphenyl oxalate and a fluorophore or the dye. The hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the diphenyl oxalate, to form phenol and an unstable peroxyacid. (when the dish soap was added to the glow stick solution it increases the chemical reaction, by increasing the amt oxygen taken out per second or bubbling out air)

@BanyanTurk 6 жыл бұрын

When the oil, glue, Heet or glycerin was added it limited the amt of oxygen able to be taken out, it limited the flow of oxygen basically speaking. And the bleach just started to dissolve the fluorophore or dye!

Use the amount of soap to vary the brightness and duration of the glow. One drop, 10 drops, 20 drops, etc. and see where the optimum amount would be for different applications. Does 20 drops make a bright flare that peters out in 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes ... or a super bright flare that lasts 20 seconds, etc. Or does adding one drop of soap make a brighter light for nearly as long as no soap.
