DIY Supermaterial Could Save You From Heatstroke: Salt based PCMs NightHawkInLight 2024-06-21 | Check out my sponsor Brilliant, free for 30 days (and get 20% off a premium subscription!) by using this link: brilliant.org/nighthawkThe most useful resource I found while investigating phase change materials was the following paper which explores several different types of low temp salt based PCMs: researchgate.net/publication/316893824_Preparation_and_thermal_properties_of_Glauber's_salt-based_phase-change_materials_for_Qinghai-Tibet_Plateau_solar_greenhousesThe 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.

This paint when properly applied can allow for clean, electricity free air conditioning to several degrees below ambient air temperature in direct sunlight.My previous radiative cooling paint video: youtu.be/N3bJnKmeNJYCooling paint video(s) by Tech Ingredients: youtu.be/5zW9_ztTiw8 & youtu.be/dNs_kNilSjkNightHawkInLight's super CaCO₃ micro-sphere pigment recipe:Sodium Carbonate (washing soda) ......... 20g dissolved in 200 mL waterCalcium Chloride (painter's desiccant) ... 10g dissolved in 100 mL waterCitric Acid (used for canning) .................. 3g dissolved in 30 mL water1. 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 1minute. 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 volumejust 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.Thank you to everyone that supports this channel on Patreon!

Fireproof Expanding Graphite NightHawkInLight 2023-02-11 | Check out my sponsor Brilliant and use this link for 20% off a premium subscription: brilliant.org/nighthawk - In this video we make intercalated graphite, useful for making graphite foil, graphene, intumescent fire barriers, superconductors, etc.. In addition to this I compare multiple methods of intumescent fire protection to find out if expandable graphite preforms as well as carbon foam.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 PaintRobert Murray Smith's intercalated graphite playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbQqm4rNo6260cpskAQjb91B15qqP9LBuThank you to everyone that supports this channel on Patreon!

A Machine That Turns Plants Into Rope NightHawkInLight 2022-12-06 | Check out my sponsor Brilliant and use this link for 20% off a premium subscription: brilliant.org/nighthawk - In this video I assemble and test a rope machine that is theoretically capable of taking any fibrous material (such as straw or other plant fibers) and turning them into two stranded rope. 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.Here is one of my earlier videos about making grass rope by hand: youtu.be/5DG26XDPpB8Big thanks to everyone that supports this channel on Patreon!

The Worlds First non-Flammable Fireworks (a novel way to make Senko Hanabi Sparklers) NightHawkInLight 2021-12-22 | In this video we explore a brand new process to make Senko Hanabi Sparklers, using a powder that is less flammable than the paper it's rolled in. Check out my sponsor Brilliant and get 20% off an annual membership! https://www.Brilliant.org/NightHawk/I've now organized all of my Senko Hanabi videos into one playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1a2HkcVbmAVW5LBBThCdHPD3BKDd03TjBelow are links to some of the resources mentioned in this video:Dr. Van Der Sypt's papers on Senko Hanabi (pdf download links):http://www.jpyro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/J2022_1_hsgty.pdfhttp://www.jpyro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/J32_43_wwaqr.pdfhttp://www.jpyro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/J32_27_hfrdt.pdfMark Anticole's YouTube channel which includes excellent videos on Senko Hanabi:youtube.com/c/GuillotinedChemistrySenko Hanabi seminar link (currently accessible to WPA members only):westernpyro.org/recordingsThe 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.This video was supported by all of my Patreon backers, for which I am extremely grateful.

DIY Hydrogen/Oxygen Generators From Grocery Store Items (HHO Fuel Cells & Split Cell Electrolysis) NightHawkInLight 2021-07-01 | In this video we look at several electrolysis designs and their function. Check out this video's sponsor, MEL Physics! Use the promo code "nighthawk" for 50% your first set of experiments: melscience.com/s3pMost 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/2DY3Y0The last design shown in this video for a combined output HHO fuel cell I first stumbled on here: youtu.be/bIVbbqRkudwAfter 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-crackingI 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.A special thanks to my top Patrons: LVE, Enzo Breda Lee, Jon Hartmann, TheBackyardScientist & Eugene Pakhomov!

How To Make Lampblack (Ancient Ink & Rare Firework Ingredient) NightHawkInLight 2020-12-22 | In this video I make an ancient pigment only found in the finest Japanese calligraphy ink, which doubles as one of the rarest firework ingredients in the world.Links to find the supplies used in this video (these are affiliate links):Pine fatwood: http://ebay.us/VfuaKmGlass dip pens: http://ebay.us/r22mdjAnimal hide glue: http://ebay.us/Xsi1dfNote that you only need a few small grains of hide glue added to your ink to stop it from smearing once dry. The ink will work without glue, using only water and lampblack as ingredients but it may smear once dry similar to if you had used a pencil.Check out my previous video about senko hanabi fireworks if you would like to learn more about how to make them: youtu.be/yvoUYEu3o-cA special thanks to my top Patrons: LVE, Enzo Breda Lee, Jon Hartmann, TheBackyardScientist & Eugene Pakhomov!

How The Worlds Strongest Material Is Made From Coffee Grounds (Flash Graphene) NightHawkInLight 2020-10-02 | 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/The first Flash Graphene article as published in Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-020-1938-0An updated article detailing Flash Graphene morphologies: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.0c05900?ref=pdfAs 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.

Super Portable Walking-Stick Wood Stoves NightHawkInLight 2020-06-17 | In this video I show how to make walking stick wood stoves capable of heating a hot tent or shelter. Get 20% off everything from my sponsor, KiwiCo, both subscriptions and everything in store by going to the URL: kiwico.com/nighthawk Or by using my promo code: NIGHTHAWK(this offer is good through August 31, 2020)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.Here is my earlier video about soup can stoves (useful for cooking, but not for heating a shelter): youtu.be/deCzUOZyII8Thank you to all of my Patreon supporters for keeping me going with this channel through thick and thin!

Recreating An Antique Carbon Torch (Oxy/Acetylene Alternative) NightHawkInLight 2020-04-14 | Building a carbon arc torch has been one of the simpler projects I have tackled lately, but I think it will also prove to be one of the most practical. 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 You can find the carbon gouging rods I used in this video here (this is an affiliate link): ebay.to/3ba3YPPThank you to my Patreon supporters, and especially my top patrons: Enzo Breda Lee, Jon Hartmann, TheBackyardScientist & Eugene PakhomovThanks for watching!
