Alum crystal growing incubator.Arduino based temperature controller.

[@picklesdill9138]

wow! i dont understand all the circuit stuff...and how to build all that technical stuff...but i understand exactly what is going on and it makes me wish i had more knowledge so i could do this. beautiful work!

[@GildorTasartir]

Surprising video!!, i want to start growing some beatiful crystals by my own, and this video it's really specific, that's really good, i had no idea about the temperature influence on this process, i noticed you isolated the growing seed ( like Normand's advice jaja), that's a certainly nice job. Keep doing videos, Good luck!!

[@averyhappywoman]

Not the average children experiment, but super cool!!! Thanks for sharing. Son and I were transfixed until the end :)

I love this video! Thank you! Two things, though: People are bidding like mad on China-based mineral sellers - lately they've been selling some very odd items. Now that I see how easy it is to grow crystal from a little seed, I will only use crystals that I dig up myself. And, it's "sweet spot," just so you know. I think you're amazing, and a great teacher, too!

[@RogerJonker]

Thanks...Yeah i know.Comment is hard coded....cant change it.Thanks!

[@saturnslastring]

Mineral crystals are usually different from chemical crystals.

[@stationplaza4631]

Very professional approach, with highly impressive results.

[@TvshkaHumma]

Beautiful!, I especially enjoy this sort of experimentation and even more so that it is arduino based!, very cool thanks for sharing!

[@RogerJonker]

Thanks!

[@qateye]

Very professional work, good luck

[@kajun8561]

Fascinating! Enjoyed that thoroughly.😁

[@kelbygassett1389]

sweet spot bub. Unless it is a sweat spot... then hanger you shirt lol

[@veganmocha]

good thing i didn’t end up giving my test tubes to my science teacher 🙌🏼

[@fss1704]

Hey to be sincere i wouldn't be mad if i was your teacher and you'd end up using it to do cool stuff like that.

[@SB-gz5vh]

I've seen other methods for growings alum crystals at home but the process took much longer for the crystals to reach that size is the temperature at 25 Celsius the reason for his growing so fast ?

[@NuLiForm]

This is Truly Beautiful..& the geek in me is ecstatic...wants Desperately to make one...but i have as much chance of getting an Arduino, or the means to build one (i have built PC's), as i have of walking on the moon. That was a different life, in aeons past.

[@brucephillips4454]

Excellent work!

[@Ann-pn9ix]

This is a great video thank you

[@bobcatdreams]

How did you solve your saturation issues. To me at least its unclear. I think you have just gone though trail and error with the heat of the feeding chamber. Is this correct?

[@robynturei5592]

Now I understand why crystals are so expensive to buy in my country.

[@woodyahh2110]

That's way cool👍

[@DavidBylsma]

super cool...thanks

[@ArleneRegos]

I have no idea but after he put that yellow tape on what was he doing with that other machine hooked up to the test tube? I bet he could probably make a pretty killer bong. Wait a minute when he started cutting that q-tip I heard like a bomb go off did you get here too?

[@jordanletcher1658]

Yeah that was an emphasized sound.

[@nunyabisnass1141]

I had seen a video of lab grown crystals such as these, that were made for optics. Instead of directly agitating the solution such as you had, they gently rotated the apparatus. I assume this method encouraged the solution to separate based on the density differential of the spent, and usable solution.

[@KonichiWawa]

Ya, I use a motor to rotate my crystals and despite the agitation there is an issue with solution density. This results in varied growth between top and bottom. I only rotate the crystal and add solution as needed. www.flickr.com/photos/135759966@N03/27960123014/in/dateposted-public/

[@nunyabisnass1141]

Konichi Wawa so you keep adding solution as the water evaporates? If so, how do you maintain a stable ratio?

[@topazioazulazul]

Wow!! that was awesome!!

[@dharmking1]

I like this this method grate but how many to strength crystal

[@telapakpikiran1172]

U are amazing!

[@MDSBock]

cool, very nice...

[@simontumulak2245]

Can I use tea/coffee filters to filter the solution?

[@RickSanchez-hn8yh]

Did I just learn how to make a meth lab!??!! 😨 j/k

[@mizzsade7427]

I was saying the same thing

[@filsdedieu100]

Excellent ! :'-)

[@saturnslastring]

I really want to try this temperature gradient technique.

[@beestheboss17]

Will it turn out right if i put the solution in a silicon crystal mold??

[@Deathunter2]

So if i get this right you control temperature but how do you control solutions saturation?

[@luxxure2246]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[@feliciabenita1889]

cool one

[@usarduinosandmore554]

If i may ask what did you use to control the temp in the growth chamber?

[@MeSoyCapitan]

*sweet spot

[@joyztik]

Hi Roger. Did you experiment a little more with this incubator? Can you please explain the theory a little bit?

[@jensenchavez265]

Supersaturate water with alum at a certain temperature, pump that into a less saturated and lower temperature solution to trigger crystal growth.

[@n0-r3gr3tzmydevilishtwin9]

makes me think bout how the megalithic structures where created around the world that seem imposable to build maybe they was created the way crystals are formed

[@ThisisLevani]

Speaking would make this vid super.

[@omercelebi2012]

Where is it used? or just for decoration?

[@jordanletcher1658]

It is worn around the neck and wards off bad spirits.

[@DavidBylsma]

cool

[@treetalker76]

What is the coiled thin wire for?

[@fedorsykora272]

errrr dude? can you do a tutorial for non-genius folk?

[@dinoplayzmc9676]

#METHLAB!!!!!!!!!!! Not that i know what one looks like..... :D ill just be here.... Smoking weed...

I think you should talk talk more in your videos

[@dankanaught6568]

looks like a meth lab. XD

[@yourfavoritemedic8390]

it's crystal lol

[@BEZERKSTUDIOS718]

+yourfavoritemedic it's a mineral goddamn it

[@mizzsade7427]

I said that too
