Awesome video, if this is of interest to anyone I just recently tried Aleenas tacky glue clear, and I have been quite astounded at the results of it. It is incredibly solid and seems to bond with graphite extremely well.
Love it. Especially with the commentary which can only be described as the nefarious whispers of an adolescent super villain on supervised house arrest and a court order prohibiting any chemistry experiments or dismantling of batteries. Shhh.. 🙄 Someone’s coming
Outstanding re-purposing of recovered battery carbon rods! Printed "thin film" resistors is one possible application for your unique chemistry, cheers.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video! Yes, to use this as a type of resistor is a good idea. I also thought of making paper circuits with using this material.
I don't think the tiny contact points of the voltmeter probes are doing this material justice. I would guess almost all the resistance is very close to those points. Suggest putting down two pieces of aluminum foil a couple of inches apart and painting a strip across between them. I'm sure you'll get much lower readings. At the moment, I have some graphite and lacquer drying between two thin wires maybe 3/16" apart. Already, the resistance is down in the tens of ohms, and it keeps getting lower as the lacquer dries. I think my mix is about as wide as your stripes, but since your stripes are maybe 10 times as long, you'd probably be seeing resistances in the hundreds if you had good contact points for the probes. BTW, I"m using Elmer's regular glue instead of school glue. I doubt that makes much difference, but I suppose it might.
@@billkabb thanks Bill! this is exactly what I did when my superglue/graphite solution didn't work! the slightly stiffer surface did make a good foundation to glue the aluminum tape though :)
IM considering making my own conductive paint for electroplating, since in my country at my scale is impossible to get some. My concern is: would the glue+graphene endure to be submerged for a few hours to last for the electroplating? im considering using copper instead of graphene.
Better use a lot less graphite or a very long strip. India ink is slightly conductive. Not nearly as conductive as graphite, though. Just the thing to coat ping pong balls with for silly high voltage experiments with a van de Graaff machine. @@SciTyeTech
You can use tap water. I only use distilled water because I wanted to see what is more conductive. Distilled water is not conductive, therefore I wanted more accurate results.
@@anoirbentanfous I will test the conductivity first, will it work on lcd display for mobiles , flex polyamide connector tore off due to its shelf life (polyamide flat flex stuff on which copper tracks )
Sorry....you called it fine graphite powder. So I looked it up, and indeed the primary component is graphite. Why not go to the art store and buy powdered graphite?
I heard instead of dish soap you can use Xanthan Gum powder or honey? I wonder if they would affect the results.. also superglue forms cement-like strength when adding backing soda or any fine powder like coffee ground, can this substitute solder for burnt led lights (we need some resistance in place of the burnt led)
@@hectorcalderondiaz1821 That's not how science works, though. Who told you that, people that don't want us to be able to shield ourselves from RF? What are you, some kind of first level gatekeeper?
Is the baby sleeping in the room? Please don't try to be cool by changing your voice. I don't know about others, but it bothered me. Other than that, it's a nice science experiment. I wonder how it would be if it were tried with copper powder.
