Diamond lamp LED remix.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtqE2iiwlBQ

A very compact version of the "Gillian's diamonds" lamp that uses a small PCB with a heater resistor physically glued to the base of the bottle with silicone for good thermal coupling, and a circle of LEDs powered via the heater resistor.  Long video, so feel free to skip over the bits you are already familiar with.

I think it is still too acidic and less coppery. I added some peroxide to it, but not a lot. I think I need to add more copper and air to get it to the right level.

Your copper chloride looks a bit paler than NurdRages - did you bubble air or add hydrogen peroxide to it?

Long video? I didn't realise how long it was till it was over. Kept me interested throughout. Thank you.

More than once. Also falling asleep and inadvertently waking myself by randomly poking my testlamps into a live terminal while holding the tip of the other lead.

Big Clive

Skip through one of your videos? No way!

Yes, Yes! Clive, lets talk about you falling asleep into live electrical panels!

Holy crap!! An ultrasonic mister - I NEED one of those :-)

That is so cool! While I can see the logic behind using a 5v supply and appreciate the versatility it would bring, I like the simplicity of the ac design. - even if it meant taking extra steps to add insulating layers. I was thinking of kapton tape or even that awesome greenhouse tape you use on the solar lights. Great stuff either way!

Were to lazy to do that in the printing industry to make plates.. Just don't do it outside in sunlight.

I ordered a bunch of different acrylic crystals off Aliexpress earlier after the last night's lamp video reminded me about wanting to try making one of these.

That's awesome. For that kind of photosensitive film, you could dark room it - red LEDs, preferably probably even deep red ones like for grow lights... And/or a deep red glass filter. Plus sealing up as much of the light leakage... If it gets 'old' and doesn't work as well, that is. Plus as you say keeping it in a dark place. Same as photo and radiograph developing basically. If the crystals are acrylic, the density should be not too dissimilar to water... 1.18g/cm3 vs 1.0 g/cm3 for water... And as such using a glycol and water mix should get the fluid close to the same specific gravity. Also possible... Bigger/hotter LEDs instead of resistors?
