I would be curious to see what the vibrations from a speaker would do if you placed a bottle of the stuff on top of one.
That'd be cool
Yeah
That’s a great idea!
You beat me to this idea.
The ending was hilarious! Cool video.
Mike Bryant this comment is old
yes hahaha
He's an example of that being a nerd aint so bad after all...
Mr.Kranez being a nerd is the best
Mr.Kranez that's where your wrong kiddo

Agreed nerds rule
I’m going to dub this his most underrated video. Super cool & something most could actually mess around with.
You ever see those visual audio models that have flames match sine waves of a sound? This would be awesome to do with bio-luminescence and sound waves in the dark!
Can the algae be revived of you put it back in the jar and set it out in the sunlight?
No. It says to prevent exposure to direct sunlight or temperature fluctuation. And that the only way to keep it going for more than a month or two is to occasionally dilute it with some special treated sea water to make sure it gets nutrients it needs.
Curt Young yes and it's not dead it's kinda like it's solar powered so just put it in the sun for a day or so and it should be good but h will need to feed it normally you can buy the food online
"NO" ... 'YES" ... 'WTF'
@@stan.rarick8556 Anyone got a definitive answer?...
...
...
...anyone?
I like plants
I always watch this video over for the pee scene. gets me every time.
However, I really want to make one and embed UV LEDS into the pool at the bottom to recharge the little buggers in the morning, that way I have a really cool fountain AND happy plankton. The only remaining question it how would I breed them?
just keep leave it be and make sure they get proper nutrients :/
Did you do it
They will probably breed on their own
I wish he'd told us how long the fountain's glowing lasted. Also, would the algae recover their superpower if exposed to a cloudy day outdoors?
Probably not enough sunlight but a window should be fine.
Since it is the algae that causes the reaction, they need a constant cycle of light and darkness for optimal growth. 12 hours on, 12 hours off.
Just get any lamp, preferable ones used in terrariums, because they imitate sunlight, this way, your fountain charges in the day, and glows in the night
I love the pocket gods/ double rainbow reference at the end.
This is a really well produced video and thanks for the info and ideas. This is in our local water in the summer months it is at it's peak and I'm going to see if I can bottle it and bring it home! Thanks again for the idea!
so glad you are putting videos up again!
You remind me of my science teacher so much! He's always wondering how things work and coming up with creative methods to do things.
hoW COOL WOULD IT BE IN A WATER SPEAKER
Omg yas
You can buy those right now if you wanted
Your old videos are actually really amazing!
2022 Mark Rober would so make a giant outdoor rock garden with a two story waterfall and a thousand gallons of bioluminescent water, then have a nighttime barbecue/garden party for all his friends and family.
Hahaha! That was fantastic! It's so bright! Vivid! Thankyou.
Thank You for uploading ..... Totally worth the wait for your videos
Finally! A new video. I was dying from due to a lack of your videos! But now I feel better.
Lovin the format!
You inspire me everyday!
That's really awesome, Mark!
Double Rainbow ref had me rolling
He’s come so far in the few years!
fascinating and funny. a very underrated video Mark.
This is so chill Mark! I just found you thanks to Smarter Every Day and your vids are awesome. Thanks for having such a cool brain!
thats awesome, i did not care much about it but you explain it in a enlighting way.
You make science so fun :)
Congrats on the one million subscribers!!!!
Love this!!!
Great videos man. makes me laugh all the time. You're the COOLEST!
LoL - LOVE the Ending - awesome stuff dood!
he has changed so much over the years.
You are probably my favorite youtuber!
Lol!! Double Rainbow reference? Great video!
Awesome!
You are seriously the best youtuber ever!!!!! 😊
Omg!!! So funny. I had forgotten all about the double-rainbow guy!!
Aim am watching this in 2020 from San Diego where that is in the ocean lighting the waves up at night
Great vid!
Oh oh oh AAAOOH it's so bright
YOU ARE SO FREAKING CREATIVE!!! :D
Bright idea :)
Amazing what nature can produce!
Awesome!!!!!
must get some now! word!!
They must be going crazy on their way through the pump....
+Thor Dehr lol!
Nice CTR
very cool, very!!
#21 of the binge and imma put this in my room
Cool Ctr on the fridge I remember primary!
Hi love your channel! I bought bioluminescent dinoflagellate medium from the link below.. I know it needs to be agitated to glow, but do I need to add a chemical or do something with the liquid before it becomes activated? Having trouble getting it to work..
very cool
You could create a partitioned aquarium that would continuously circulate them between a resting and charging spot as well an active spot with fish and water churning
Can u set up an energy source for the allge to stay living like a uv lamp or heat lamp or something of that sort? Or just stick the fountain in a sunny window while at work with like a clear glass back so any allge in the pump still gets energized?
720p and still looks amazing how is that? Everyone else’s videos in 720p look well pretty crappy.
Wait, what really happens when you drink it
+Scarlet Grace Victoria The Pyrocystis fusiformis, so I've read, are not toxic, so I don't think anything would happen to you, but stomach acid is probably not ideal for the survival of algae.
+D. Mo for short, Dinoflagellates
you gain superpower!
stomach ache
+Anonymous Hacker 132 Empirical evidence or I don't believe you! ;)
Your videos are great. Informative and entertaining. Glad lifehacker shared your watermelon trick so I could find and watch all your videos today. Yeah I should've been working....
Thats so cool.. by the way I like the last part of the video so funny.. :)
This would be great for parties!
i could do this in a chocolate fountain. awsome
Perhaps if the fountain were in a pond that doesnt pull the entire algae organisms through various cycles per minute? make it big enough so that a whole rotation of the pond water takes a 12 hour shift, enough so they'll have time to rest, multiply, and restore energy?
LIT UP THE WORLD AS I FELL ASLEEP
Awesome idea where did you get the little zen fountain?
@jesse108 Oh nice to see you again...yeah I'm still modeling part time
If vibrations are enough to agitate the liquid, then setting up an elaborate wine glass presentation with loud bass music could be the coolest thing ever. Think of it, already perfectly synced up, flashes varying in intensity based on the loudness and frequency of the music.
Your videos are cool! Arturo sent me here
Im definetely drinking that now
Wow, what an ending!! lol!!
Bout time!!!
that ending was the best
Dinoflagellates!!!
Noctiluca
Coooool
Where did you get that water fountain from? I can't find any too similar to it and i like it
This is genius! I will never ever use the lights when I go to the toilet again!
Nice ending.
You know, a simple solution (though it takes work) would be an aquarium.
This species is marine, so you'd need a marine setup. I'd suggest a 10 gallon so you could add a small piece of live rock and still have plenty of sand for the algae to grow in that can be blown around at night by pointing the powerhead downward. If it's a good piece of live rock, you likely won't need to add any livestock, as there'll be 'hitchhikers'. A good light fixture would provide the necessary 'sunlight'.
would be cool to see if you could get it to react to sound waves.
ive been wanting to do this so bad! i really want to make like an aquarium to keep it alive
That very last part where the guy drank the algea was so funny i laughed so hard.
Cool
Apparently you can buy "Algal Growth Media" (on the same website, link is down in the product description) and add it to the alga to keep them alive.
The end gag though 😂😂😂
vanilla ice ice baby!
amazing video! (subscribing now)
Since it stops glowing because of not enough energy from sunlight, if i put an artificial light near it to give out energy?
Then you wouldnt be able to see it?
+Mark Moore More to "charge" it, then turn it off later to show people
i am also curious about this
Idk
Maybe it is charged by UV from sun so not all artificial light can charge it.
Double Rainbow!
Do they survive on tap water or do they need some special treatment on the water to stay alive? And do regular fluorescent bulbs give off light in the frequencies the algae needs? Oh, and are they harmed if the light cycle is inconsistent?
Okay, so I'm thinking it would be possible to place the fountain on top of an enclosed reservoir that contains the LED lighting needed to feed the algae during the day, turned off using an outlet timer (or similar) when appropriate to let the algae know it's nighttime. Sounds plausible? Only one way to find out!
What camera and camera settings did you use to video it so well?
i love science
If your fountain was in some sunlight during the day would that replenish the algae's glow.. or does it simply only have a certain lifespan?
what if you put it in an outdoor fountain or if your desk fountain was near a window that had direct sunlight? Would the Algae recharge as it were?
First rule of chemistry! :D
Hmm, and if the fountain is overkill 24/7 agitation (I'm not familiar with growing algae beyond very brief research), I suppose the outlet timer could also exchange the fountain for an aquarium-pump during the day to more gently do the job.
Lol vanilla ice made this so funny xD
Can you mix it with water too or does it have to be just the fluid provided?
Could you not add something to the water that would cause a mild reaction which would in turn "activate" the algae, but of course without killing it? The only slow-ish element I can think of is calcium, especially in small quantities.. but then you would have to have some sort of controlled release mech for the calcium pellets. I dunno; just an idea.
i have a fish tank, 50 gallon i believe, if i poured this stuff in it will fish survive? can it be mixed with regular distilled water, or tap? will it work in a 2000 gallon pond in my backyard? this might be the coolest stuff ever haha
you just earned a subscribe from me my friend
mark im going to order it what size is the bottle your holding thanks
