Making bad glow toys.
I haven't been posting much behind the scenes stuff here, but I am going to start being a lot more frequent.So for this phoho: For a video that I will post eventually, I made ZnS, doped with copper, which is phosphorescent and glows in the dark! I then mixed it into some epoxy and molded smthis Lego looking thing. The glow is pretty weak, but it does work and I think it's pretty cool.
Live chat instead of livestream
I had to stop doing the live stream because my internet is messed up and the video was too choppy. I am still doing a live chat though if you are interested! When i fix the internet ill do another live stream.
A delay
I'll be doing the stream on about 30 mins. Sorry for a bit of a delay
Last minute live stream
I'm going to try and go live in like and hour or so. It'll just be a fun Q and A thing or something and to test out live streaming in the new office. I'll post a link here when ready
The microwave plasma mystery
Hey guys, first video in a while. I got really delayed because I went to VidCon in early July and also, this project too WAY longer than I expected.Let me know what you think of it though and if you notice any mistakes or problems with the video!
The cleanup for the ferrofluid
Here's the cleanup portion of the project! It was quite simple because pretty much all the waste was relatively inert.
Making ferrofluid
Hey guys, I've been working really hard on this video for a while now. It's still not perfect and there's a lot more work to do, but at least it works!Also this is my longest video ever. I hope it isn't TOO long though!Giveaway link: https://gleam.io/UpmYi/ferrofluid-giveaway
Cleanup for heptoxide video!
Hey guys, here is the cleanup portion for the video.Also, can you guys think of any good title for the main video? I cant think of anything that would be enticing, without being annoying clickbait.
Manganese heptoxide
Hey guys, this is the first of the "shorter" videos that I want to start doing. Ones that are more points of interest and not necessarily an entire project. Let me know what you think and what other things you'd like to see me cover.Also, I have changed the Patreon scheme back to being "per video", so be sure to re-select your desired tier!Edit: Waste video will be posted in the next day or so!
I changed the charging scheme
I mentioned a while ago, that I was going to change the scheme back to per creation. I have now made the change-over, so you guys will again have to choose your tier again.I think that a per creation system will in the end work for me. I did shove most of the benefits to the $1 tier though.I plan to post the next video tomorrow, so please choose your new tier as soon as you can.
Gold video cleanup
Here is the other part of the video, where I clean up the waste! There were many ways that I couldve done this though, and this was just the method that I ended up going with.
Patreon credit check
Hey guys, im getting ready to render the final copy of the video.

Turning old jewelry into gold
Hey guys, last video of the month! There is another part to this, that I will be posting to my other channel, but I havent made that video yet. It will be posted here when I do though.As usual, let me know what you think!
Changing back to a per video
Hey guys, so please don't hate me, but I think next month Ill be going back to the per video Patreon format.I really wanted the monthly to work because I thought it fixed some issues and let me give different rewards. However, I dont think its working better for a few reasons.1) with a month rate, its very hard for me to judge my budgets for each project and to gauge the time/money that I can spend on it. When it's a per video, patreon ju...
Patron list check
Hey guys, I am just confirming the supporters list. Let me know if your name isn't there!-------$5 supporters-------#Liberator12ka dAaron AitkenAbe MorsteinAdam Christopher DefibaughAdam EverettAdam RakAdam RoyerAdrian VCAidan EpperlyAilsa CarlawA.J.R., BSc SScAlex DodgeAlex StapletonAlexander JanssenAlexander LevshaAlexander RickabaughAlexander StachnikAlexander YaskowichAlf-Marius Dahl BysveenAlia ÅstenAlix RAmanda SupakAnapanAndre van Soe...
You can't smell metal
Hey guys, first video in a while. I wanted to get this out before the end of April, but it ended up taking me forever to put together. This one took some different audio and editing skills, and i definitely still need to work on that a bit. However, I still like how it all turned out.For the first time, I also include people who aren't me in the video. It's a very small part, but let me know what you think about it!
Got sick
Hey guys, I ended up getting sick this whole last week. Worst sickness I've had in a while too. So, unfortunately, I wont have another video out before the end of the month. It will instead be ready within the first few days of May.I just wanted to keep you guys updated! I really wanted to get this one out before April ended, but it just doesnt seem to be a reality.I might post some behind the scenes footage that I took today though (while st...
Last lights
Just finished setting up the last of the lights. I'm almost ready to do some small in-person demos and stuff in the lab. I just need to sound treat the room a bit to get rid of the echo.
Making raspberry ketone
Hey guys, this is a video that's been on my harddrive for a while, but I finally got around to putting it together. It was a bit of a long one. It did inspire me to get back into smelly compounds though, so we'll see what I get into next.I appear twice in this video, once in the intro and once near the end. However, the audio for both appearances is really poor. The first appearance is because the mic was poorly positioned and the second ...
Done refining!
All that gold was refined and now I have this blob. It's about 81g and it's the most that I've ever held.I want to make some small pieces of jewelry out of it. If you have a simple design that you think might be nice, please share them with me. Send them to admin@nilered.ca
Getting ready to purify some gold!
All the gold was sent to me by one of my Patrons.
A post that i made to my other channel
This is a little update for my other channel NileBlue. Its not exclusive content here or anything, but I thought it was still worth sharing here!
Patreon List
Hey guys, Im going to be making the final ammonium amalgam video today. Before I do that though, I just need to confirm the Patron list. This is for everyone who is in the $10 tier. I've included everyone from the old $5 tier, but a lot of people still need to switch over.I apologize that for this month, I only got 1 video out, but from now on I plan for at least 2, and Im hoping for 3.#Liberator12ka dAaron AitkenAbe MorsteinAdam Christopher ...
Ammonium amalgam
So, i managed to get the video out before the end of the month.Let me know what you guys think of it. Also, tell me if i ever say "1886" in the video. The paper i referenced was from 1865, but for some reason i kept saying 1886. I think i fixed all the mistakes, but please let me know if i didnt!As usual, patron credits will be added to the final video. Later today i will post a list for every to confirm that they are there.
Break done!
I'm working on the next video now, on ammonium amalgam. I hope it'll be out tomorrow on Patreon :)
Credits at end of video or description
I just had one question. For those in the tier of "credits at the end of video", do you prefer having your name cooked into the video , or would you prefer to have it in the description? Or maybe both?
Taking a break
Hey guys, so i have decided that I will be taking a break. Im not sure how long it will be, but it should be about a week or so.Also, if you havent yet, remember to switch your tiers! I made a switch from per video, to per month and a lot of people are still floating in limbo. For this month, I still hope to get 1 video out. That isnt ideal, but it is what it is i guess. Then in April, hopefully itll be back to minimum 2 per month and im hoping f...
Might take a break
I've been wanting to take a small break for a while, but for the last few months, with everything being moved, I was barely able to take even an evening off. I told myself i would take time once the lab was done, but then that came and went and I just moved onto more projects.My next chance for a break was in early April, but I'm thinking that I might have to take it much earlier than that. Maybe as soon as like, tomorrow. I was in the mi...
Finished the studio lights
I finally got some light in the studio. I made a miscalculation though and there's enough light that it hurts my eyes. I am going to selectively turn some off, and I'll only turn them back on if I need to film.
The new hood is offically in.
The second fume hood was the last piece that I had to install!All I have left is just a few small things, like straightening the drawers. I'm so close!
