Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by things that glow in the dark. I had a few glow toys that I really liked, but I either lost them or gave them away. I could've just bought some new ones, but I thought it would be a lot more fun to make my own from scratch.

Nile: "Hey mom, you seen my glow in the dark dinosaur?"
His mom: "Think we gave those away honey."
Nile: "And so I started crafting."
It would be very interesting to see Nile do the Strontium Aluminate. Just as a side by side, glowing baby next to an equally creepy, brighter glowing, baby.
I like how he didn't even change his tone when talking about how sad he was when his mom threw his toys out.
you have the same icon as my steam and discord profile lol
@@ahmadayazamin3313 his voice sounds like the voice in my head when I read scientific papers
The sadness was added to a beaker, and washed with about 750 ml of carbonated 5% ethanol solution that was sourced by fermenting grains. The ethanol solution was added in stages, and at each step the sadness dissolved more, eventually becoming hardly detectable in the solution. This was not a permanent solution however, as the clean up process the next morning turned out not to be easy. A large part of the sadness seemed to have precipitated on the couch, and after several attempts at removing the solid components with various solvents, I had no choice but to discard the couch in my waste container and buying a new one from Amazon.

Hey, science is fun, my dude XD
I watched this entire video from start to finish just because I know how much time you put in. The amount of times I hear you say “I let it sit overnight” just tells you how much time one step in the process takes. This stuff is fascinating and I love your work.
totally! his patience is so commendable
NileRed: “I had to be very careful. This is because the toxicity of hydrogen sulfide gas… is comparable to cyanide.”

Best comment I've read all week
These are the kinds of videos that make me shiver every time I ask myself, "What does the industrialized process look like?" I could not fathom making this shit in a factory setting.
The fact that he showed his failures while trying to make something glow just shows how humble he is.
"But it didn't fix the major problem: that this method sucked."
Nile has a penchant for quoting the obvious in the most funny ways.

mom the baby is glowing again
This video deserves a lot more views because of all the hard work and dedication put in it
I love the professional, matter of fact tone he used when saying how sad he is that his mom threw out his toys. King.
My favorite is the way he said "it didn't fix the primary issue: this method sucked"
Idk why..but i am laughing
I am sorry
And also saying that he didn’t think the baby was creepy enough in that tone
Such an easy channel to listen to right? "Mother destroyed my glowy toys..... Moving on to mixing chemicals now."
:
"It turns out that at least chemically, it can be surprisingly simple."
*proceeds to make a 39 minute video on the topic*
A 39-minute video that's so interesting that it seems more like 5!
It's like one of my comments ... they always start small and simple... and then the length explodes
Ceave?
Jesus christ I didnt noticed it was 39 minutes until just now
It feels like only a year ago that I subscribed to his channel. So nice to see his dedication pay off with sponsorship and support from his fans. He really deserves all the success that got him to this point. That 39 min flew by and I was kinda sad when it was over.
This may not have turned out like you first wanted, but hey! Glow-in-the-dark anything is just plain cool. And to make it yourself adds a whole new level of wonder and coolness to it.
16:29 Sounds like a dinner at a family reunion with some of my extended family...
Normal kids: "wow look stick glowing!! wow!!!"
Nile when he was a kid: "It blew my mind that simple plastic toys and stickers could collect and store light energy."
he describes it in a way to fit the minimum words for his essay
Next time: "But to me that was almost the same thing as just buying the pre-made zinc powder." -- "So I went to a mine and mined my own zinc."
*sO WE BACK IN THE MINE--*
No thats Cody's Lab
Mine reveal????
Time after next "But to me that was almost the same thing as just buying the pre-made zinc powder." So I purchased a mine and dug out iron by hand which I then smelted to make an pickax which should let me get more zinc faster

I think your the coolest most interesting, and fun guy I've ever seen. I also was so curious about that as a wee lady and I think this is so cool. Your mind and the way you push through and just do it yourself, doing the math, doing the mixing and just playing around with science simply because it's cool is so admirable and awesome. I love your channel and content and really love the chemical mix, the explaining and metal using videos the most 👌
Thank you nilered for introducing me to important chemistry equipment such as coffee filter, fork, and small blender
14:42 "I used this fork.."
Nah fam thats a threek
Lol
Lmao
Stupid dessert forks 😠
Not to be that one guy but in theory it’d be a threk instead threek because in four to fork, one vowel is lost, so it would carry over
Did i really just examine some made up word for why it would be incorrect? Yes. Yes i did.
nah that's a trident
I think future Nile would be like -"Now I could buy the zinc powder but I wanted to make my zinc from scratch...so I went on an expedition to dig rocks first.."

There used to be a small local toy store in my area that had a little glow in the dark room in the back. It was a little stockroom that the owner used to display all the glow in the dark and UV stuff. Of course, it was kept dark with only UV lights to see by. And they sold a lot of cool stuff in there. I used to love going in there when I was a kid. I wish that store was still in business. It was called Cracker Jacks and it was in the Montgomery Shopping Center in Princeton NJ.
I work in a tshirt print shop and we use Zinc Formaldehyde Sulfoxylate for discharge printing with water-based screen print ink. We mix it into a clear ink that when printed on a shirt is invisible. When dried down our dryer or with a lighter flame it bleaches out the dyed color of the shirt so we can print light colors on dark shirts.. But also once its dried we can use a uv blacklight to see where that layer is to know if we need to align it more.

I love how he comments on his (almost recursive) thought-processes.
I sorta felt that it didn't turn out as interesting as I thought it would be, but I decided that I kinda wanted to keep it because I thought it could...
It shows you how a person with a science background approaches problems. It's intriguing to see his thought process and also something to learn from. It's includes creative and out of the box thinking like the how he decided to try out the doping on a small amount since he wasn't sure if the copper sulphate was 100% pure. Also includes some trial and error and if you fail you gotta have ways to fix the problem. Another great thing was how he treated time as a resource and went for the quicker and arguably better methods than the long winded ones.

I think my favorite thing about these videos is the way he makes these processes sound so simple and obvious. Like of course, why buy a simple pre-made powder when you can just do complex alchemical transformations for weeks on end and make your own? Love these vids tho
I see that you plan to make another version of this in the future, which might be "now". Have you seen the europium glow in the dark paint? That is supposed to be even stronger than anything else. I do plan on getting my hand on some to do some test batches.
buying glow toys for a dollar:😕
spending probably 50 dollars to make your own:😌
Way over 50
probably a couple hundred dollars, i would say upwards of 500, also the many many hours he put into this

Welcome to all NileRed videos
I mean you could do the less complicated thing he mentioned at the start and just buy the zinc sulfide and some epoxy and throw it into weird molds. Less rewarding but it could still be a fun easy project
After wathcing for 30min, I felt I could make a time machine
Yeah you really don't want to be playing with Hydrogen Sulfide gas in your kitchen :)
i think something thats very underrated, is that in the beginning when he was reacting the zinc and sulfur he says "it can be ignited with a hot glass rod" and it does nothing, and then he says the same exact thing again for the iron and sulfur so it makes u think it wont work but it actually does

I hated chemistry when I was in middle/high school and only by watching your videos have I realized how cool it can be.
Question about 36:00 though and please pardon my laymen understanding of chemistry and physics, but isn't strontium radio active? Legitimately curious how it can be used in glow in the dark products (reminds me of Radium watch hands)?
Strontium is not radioactive itself; instead it is a product of radioactive decay.
