How To Make a 100ft Glow Stick!!!
How to make a 100 ft glow stick. Brighter than Electroluminescent wire and self-powered. This can be used to decorate, glow stuff up, or create all kinds of awesome effects. Warning: TCPO is carcinogenic and you should wear gloves and masks while working with it. The procedure is simple, mix together 500mg of 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene and 17g of TCPO in 500ml of diethyl phthalate solvent and heat it up until it dissolves. Then top it up to about 2.1 liters and add 120ml of hydrogen peroxide and 10g of sodium acetate. Shake thoroughly and draw into a 100 ft glow stick with an inner diameter of 3/8″. Suction by a vacuum pump is recommended. To prevent spilling the ends should be capped with brass or plastic compression fittings. Leave 5+ feet of space in the tube to allow for expansion of the chemicals depending on temperature. Glow stick will last for about 6 hours. Use more TCPO if a longer glow is needed. Possibly the world’s biggest glow stick.

Attach the 1000′ one to a weather balloon and see how many UFO sightings you get. Even if you don’t get any, it would be epic win on a colossal scale!
Also, how would the effect differ if you used 50% peroxide in lieu of the 30%? Brighter? Longer lasting? 5 *’s!!
put it intro a swimming pool!!!
‘for me if it dosent have a warning label its not worth buying,hehehehe.’

Wow, awesome!!!! Thank you guys for this video. Maybe I’ll try it someday
It might take some time to steal the reagents from the lab, but eventually I’ll make it!

Make Cyrcles and stick them onto a car’s wheels, that’d make glowing Car Rims.

if you are going to go nuts with making this do something epic like lighting up a football field, the ball and pads and make a touchdown. or you can do the same and light up the basket ball pole and hoop and have a slam dunk contest. or make a giant game of pong on a hill side. what ever you do have fun and post so we can all share in the amazement.
this was total ownage….
Make it so it can be broken in the middle and start glowing when you need it. I’ve seen this but it doesn’t glow as much as yours. People can use this if they get lost in the woods or want to be rescued/found in a high mountain at night.
wrap it around a car and go cruisin
hahah true
Put on your car and it’ll look like tron or automan.
@pardeee 6 hours he said it
Put it on your sinep
Very nice. I am working to become a chemist and this was a very interesting project. Is this your own “recipe” or did you have instructions? Once the Catalyst was added the reaction sped up exponentially to the point I was not expecting it.
Hey you laughed six times but the caption only says ‘he he he”!!!!!
you could use it to message aliens
or people in airplanes
or thing that fly
WOW amazing
but can u make glow paint?
