The key to reducing the melting point of a PCM is to make what is called a eutectic mixture ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutectic_system ). In this case that is a mixture of two different hydrated salts. When the two come together the freezing point of both is lowered to a temperature which depends on the particular salts used and the ratio between them. Sodium sulfate and table salt (sodium chloride)

In this video I decided to make a solar heating panel with design features that will be compatible with sky cooling later on. Solar heating is a very efficient method of using solar energy, with the ability to absorb 900-1000w/m2 of heat from sunlight, compared to only 200-300w/m2 of electricity that could be generated from a similarly sized standard solar panel.
Here are a few links to solar fan kits that can be used to complete this project (these are affiliate links):

Thanks everyone for watching!Making Infrared Cooling Paint From Grocery Store Items (w/Novel CaCO₃ Microsphere Synthesis)NightHawkInLight2023-07-01 | Check out my sponsor Brilliant, free for 30 days by using this link: brilliant.org/nighthawk In this video we explore new methods of making cutting edge radiative sky cooling paint with common grocery and hardware store items. This paint when properly applied can allow for clean, electricity free air conditioning to several degrees below ambient air temperature in direct sunlight.
NightHawkInLight's super CaCO₃ micro-sphere pigment recipe:
Sodium Carbonate (washing soda) ......... 20g dissolved in 200 mL water
Calcium Chloride (painter's desiccant) ... 10g dissolved in 100 mL water
Citric Acid (used for canning) .................. 3g dissolved in 30 mL water
1. Combine Calcium Chloride and Citric Acid solutions into one container. 2. Adjust the temperature of the liquids to be between 10-20°C (50-70°F). 3. Pour Calcium Chloride/Citric Acid solution into mixer and begin stirring. 4. Pour the Sodium Carbonate solution into the mixer and begin a timer. 5. Allow solution to mix for 1 minute. 6. Turn off mixer and pour the liquid into a separate container. 7. Wash the mixer with vinegar and water to prepare for the next batch. ***Make 3 total batches following steps 1-7, each time allowing the solution to mix for 1 minute. To save time you can make large quantities of the starting solutions all at once, chill all of it to 10-20°C, and then measure out enough for individual batches by volume just prior to mixing. 8. Make a fourth batch, mixing for an increased time of 5 minutes. ***Optional: Make a fifth batch at 1/3 scale, mixing for an increased time of 8-10 minutes. 9. Allow 20-60 minutes for the pigment to settle out of all batches. 10. Pour the water off the top of the settled pigment and refill containers with water. 11. Repeat settling and pouring off water 1-2 more times. 12. Cut a rectangular opening in the bottom of a disposable bread tin. 13. Line the tin with paper towel and a sheet of white printer paper. 14. Pour the pigment solutions into the tin, using the paper as a filter. 15. Pour extra distilled water over the pigment to wash it. 16. Once filtered, place the whole tin into an oven to dry at 100°C (212°F). 17. Collect pigment, breaking up clumps in a blender if needed.

As a result of my tests in this video: For indoor intumescent fireproofing I recommend using commercially made paints containing ammonium or melamine polyphosphate and pentaerythritol. I have not compared brand names to identify the very best fireproof paint, but several that I believe will provide very good protection are as follows: - Contego Reactive Fire Barrier - Firetect WT-102 - Fireguard E84 - Flameoff Fire Barrier Paint

This machine was purchased on Aliexpress for about $900 ($300 for the machine, $600 for shipping). The seller has since deleted their account. It seems these machines are made and sold by a variety of different factories with subtle differences between designs. After a bit of work improving a few faults in the manufacturing it seems to work well. I'll likely use the rope from this machine for a number of future projects.

Check out my sponsor Brilliant and get 20% off an annual membership! https://www.Brilliant.org/NightHawk/
The title of this video makes quite a claim that I'm certain will be disputed in the comments from a perfectly literal perspective, however, flammable materials is an official classification typically reserved for things that are more flammable than ordinary objects like paper and wood. For that reason, I think calling these sparklers non-flammable is an accurate descriptor for practical purposes. Certainly they are the least flammable fireworks in the world, and the only fireworks that do not contain an oxidizing or explosive ingredient. The use of potassium bicarbonate (and sodium bicarbonate) as the primary mass of a firework composition is completely novel, and makes these very safe both to make and store compared to other fireworks.

Most DC power supplies will work adequately well for electrolysis, the most common of which is a 12v battery charger or a car battery itself. For more control it is best to use an adjustable power supply. Here is an affiliate link where you can purchase a similar 30v 10a power supply as I use in this video: ebay.us/2DY3Y0
The last design shown in this video for a combined output HHO fuel cell I first stumbled on here: youtu.be/bIVbbqRkudw
After filming this video I realized that the plastic bottles I used for several of my designs had become quite brittle, and found research showing that hydroxide solutions are known to be quite damaging to plastics: sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/environmental-stress-cracking I did not notice increased brittleness in the clear plastic container of my final split electrolysis design, but the plastic is much thicker and so it may take longer to show weakness. A suitable precaution to give the cell the longest life may be to empty it of electrolyte while in storage. A stainless steel or glass container should be able to store the hydroxide solution indefinitely.

-BenHow The Worlds Strongest Material Is Made From Coffee Grounds (Flash Graphene)NightHawkInLight2020-10-02 | In this video we explore the recently discovered process for creating flash graphene: the first economical method to make high quality turbostratic graphene in bulk. Using this method it's possible to convert nearly any carbon source (recycled materials, coal, carbon black, etc.) directly into graphene.
This was discovered by a graduate student, Duy Loung of Rice labs, as detailed in this article (videos of the process are contained within): http://news.rice.edu/2020/01/27/rice-lab-turns-trash-into-valuable-graphene-in-a-flash-2/
As a result of these discoveries Dr. James Tour (the lead chemist at Rice labs), and his team have founded the company Universal Matter Inc. in their endeavor to scale and automate the flash graphene process for commercial production. In only a few months they have multiplied their methods to produce 6 grams with each 30-100ms discharge of 48 high voltage capacitors, in a scalable model that may produce as much as 1 ton per day. Company website: universalmatter.com

Here is a now expired patent filed by Monsanto (go figure) in 1978 which is now expired, and dives deep into the chemistry of intumescent coatings. Very enlightening, and thanks to it's expired status it is probably the core of the many modern insumescent paints now on the market: patents.google.com/patent/US4247435A (Possibly coincidental, but it is interesting that this patent was filed just a few years before the invention of Starlite.)

For this project I set out to make a wood burning camping stove that could heat a shelter or hot tent (an open floored tent made for use with a stove) without weighing you down on a hike. For such purposes it's necessary to use a chimney, which I decided should take the form of a walking stick. The stoves shown in this video have a total weight of about 3 lbs each (1.4 kg), and are very easy to walk with. The price for each is about $20, and even less if you can find a few of the pieces in your recycling bin.

The parts used for this project are a 2 liter bottle, a 3 foot length of ½ inch diameter PVC pipe, and a piece of string. I use fairly strong gardening string for the bass version of this guitar, and kite string for the standard tuned guitars. Fishing line would be another great option.
Another name for a single string guitar is a diddley bow, and many great tutorials are available for playing these instruments. This is a great place to start: youtu.be/KojZ7CmT4Ik

Without an oxy/acetylene torch there are few other options that can heat seized nuts quickly enough to free them from a rusted bolt. Vehicle repairs will certainly go smoother in my shop with this torch on hand.
It's been on my mind how important charity is in the world right now, and especially for those who were already in desperate need before current events. I will just add one charity here that I hope some will give to, but if you have other charitable preferences I encourage you to donate wherever you feel it will do the most good. childrenshungerfund.org/give

Ryota Tsutsui and his wife Kyoko were incredibly welcoming to me as I visited their fireworks factory to learn about senko hanabi. They have dedicated their lives to preserving these fireworks and uplifting their community in ways far deeper than I expected. Much of my time there I was unable to capture my own camera footage, as I had a job to do being filmed for Japanese TV. To make up for the lack of context I was able to show in this video I highly recommend watching this short documentary to see more behind the scenes of this amazing company and family: youtu.be/1ejFex4bNjg

Paul Gregg is a retired aerospace engineer who I spent the day with learning about his backyard rollercoasters. His rollercoasters are designed and tested to the same standards as airplanes, which is incredible considering the materials to build them are available at any hardware store. Paul has made backyard rollercoasters accessible to anyone with basic tools and a yard to work in.
