How To Make a 100ft Glow Stick!!!
How to make a 100 ft glow stick. Brighter than Electroluminescent wire and self-powered. This can be used to decorate, glow stuff up, or create all kinds of awesome effects. Warning: TCPO is carcinogenic and you should wear gloves and masks while working with it. The procedure is simple, mix together 500mg of 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene and 17g of TCPO in 500mL of diethyl phthalate solvent and heat it up until it dissolves. Then top it up to about 2.1 liters and add 120mL of hydrogen peroxide and 10g of sodium acetate. Shake thoroughly and draw into a 100 ft glow stick with an inner diameter of 3/8″. Suction by a vacuum pump is recommended. To prevent spilling the ends should be capped with brass or plastic compression fittings. Leave 5+ feet of space in the tube to allow for expansion of the chemicals depending on temperature. Glow stick will last for about 6 hours. Use more TCPO if a longer glow is needed. Possibly the world’s biggest glow stick.

Make a dragon head frame outa this and make it glow
May 18th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Did you really go to a rave? lols
May 18th, 2010 at 8:55 pm
decorate your house with it. can you make another one anyway. huge fan cool glow stick
May 18th, 2010 at 9:44 pm
After it dies out, if you add more H2O2, will it glow again or can the TCPO react with it only once?

“if superman came along… i’d think it would kill him” LMAO.

3:20 omg that went from desklamp to sunlight in no time
May 18th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
You Couldput the activator in some small glass tubes in the pie, so that you cab break them, abd activate the glow, as in the original suff!

is there anyway of making a glow stick using house hold products?
May 19th, 2010 at 1:32 am
yeah my mom did this for holloweeen last year (shes a chemical engineer soo)

1. Good Video
2. You’re Wierd for Changing your Voice, Yeah, People will like this and come to your house and rape you, thats REALLY Common. [/sarcasm]
3. Cool Glowstix

You could use it to mark safe in man hunt or other night type tag games. Use it for Christmas tree decorations? Decorations? Run it along the side of a car or boat.
But I have no clue for a 1000ft glow stick?
May 19th, 2010 at 2:18 am
awesome I used to have glow sticks
May 19th, 2010 at 2:24 am
how much did that cost.
May 19th, 2010 at 2:53 am
i so would walk around with a jug of that stuff
May 19th, 2010 at 2:54 am
AMAZING! AND AWSOME ~~
:D
May 19th, 2010 at 3:37 am
awesome ness man awesome ness
May 19th, 2010 at 4:29 am
DANG thats cool.
May 19th, 2010 at 4:56 am
@gamerz1 yes. some types of specially prepared radioactive sources will glow for years, decades, even centuries.
I have a tritium capsule that glows for over ten years. it’s not very bright though.
May 19th, 2010 at 5:45 am
@NurdRage okok, i have exaggerated…. so i ask an other question…. does it exist a similar product that glows during one year or so?
May 19th, 2010 at 6:32 am
@pyrodude431 you could, but i didn’t have any available.
May 19th, 2010 at 6:52 am
could you use a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxcide
May 19th, 2010 at 7:04 am
No, NG, but I’ll float ya a message when I do. Hopefully it will be in the next few weeks
May 19th, 2010 at 7:43 am
fuck that cunt tell me people his a pussy fuck cunt you fucking cunt of fuck dick sucker you like that you like that suck you dads dick cunt and try to suck your own pussy you made me fuck up a lazer for this bull shit s then burn you and laugh at you i can not stand your shit pussy fuck why havent dick all night!!!!!!!! i gonna burn you alive and laugh at you suffering you poof cunt get off you tube bitch
May 19th, 2010 at 7:56 am
@doctorcheese22 well can i do this with a laser u get from an icecream truck?
May 19th, 2010 at 8:54 am
@jyuxo Ohh ok I have a laser pointer from a M16A4 bb gun rifle
May 19th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Wait so would this work with one of those ebay green laser pointers or no? Does it actually work?
May 19th, 2010 at 9:11 am
@kidwithshorthair Fuck you, he’s going to burn your house down 50 different ways you french piece of shit
May 19th, 2010 at 9:29 am
@invalidnumber3 are you sure this breaks your laser pen
May 19th, 2010 at 9:31 am
@PatatatangaG
i’ve opened up a few different types of laser and not all have the resistor. i think the ones that usually will have it are the “high powered” laser pens rather then a laser pointer
May 19th, 2010 at 10:04 am
how would one locate the resistor on the laser’s motherboard. ( ihave a different pen and I can’t seem to figure it out.)

@sofakingey he’s not just putting it on the diode. he’s breaking the resistor with the heat.
May 19th, 2010 at 11:31 am
Fake. You can’t strengthen a diode by putting a soldering iron on it for a couple seconds.
May 19th, 2010 at 11:58 am
doing this tends to break your laser very quickly…
May 19th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
@robloxdotroblox If matches are only lit by friction why can you take a lit match, hold it to another match, and that match catches fire the exact same way this match did? And carpet is not burning fuel, most carpets are fire resistant now…
May 19th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
ok then as u say so
May 19th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Yeah good job instructing how to burn down your house like 50 different ways
May 19th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
cool
May 19th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
@Fletch8600 did ya try it yet?
May 19th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
CARPET BURN!!!
May 19th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
i see that your burning the resistor but i notice how you say at (low heat) so its a matter of damages the resistor but keeping the remaining wire intact?
May 19th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
@fletch ..did it work out??
May 19th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
The component, though blurry on this video image, looked to be a small resistor, and of course if it is, it makes sense that removing it makes the laser diode more dangerous. This is pretty brilliant, I’m gonna go pick up a class 3R laser from Petco for $3 and try this out!
May 19th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 19th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
dude u burned ur carpet lol
May 19th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
wot exactly do u burn with the soldering iron?
