A true scientist! Thank you for sharing this. ❤

[@SciTyeTech]

Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@flywittzbeats4008]

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.

[@photonik-luminescence]

Interesting recipie

[@SciTyeTech]

Yes, and it works well.

[@mtiris1]

very informative,very clear and very efficient video..well done Sir..Greetings from Turkiye..

[@SciTyeTech]

Thank you very much!

[@HoboBonobo]

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

[@SciTyeTech]

lol!!

[@basileias2002]

This is a very useful experiment! Thanks for sharing!!!~~~

[@SciTyeTech]

Thank you!

[@pusesewe]

Awesome! Ths voice is kinda relaxing haha

[@SciTyeTech]

Thank you! Glad you found it relaxing!

[@RolandKrossio]

It's very important, 👍

[@SciTyeTech]

Yes, thanks

[@davidaguas5540]

You need to wait until the paint is dry to perform the conductivity test. You are getting good results with the one that contains salt because it still has water in it. Once the water dries, the conductivity will decrease significantly.

[@SciTyeTech]

Yes, that is true.

[@e21steverino]

Going to use this recipe to fix some remote control buttons where the carbon pads have worn👍 Thanks for the great tip 😊

[@billkabb]

small pieces of plain adhesive aluminum tape also works fine on remotes

[@e21steverino]

@@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 :)

[@gordonzar992]

Awesome, thank you very much!

[@SciTyeTech]

You're welcome!

[@ricksampson6780]

Outstanding re-purposing of recovered battery carbon rods! Printed "thin film" resistors is one possible application for your unique chemistry, cheers.

[@SciTyeTech]

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.

[@kingshahzad78]

Thanks for This Explanation❤❤

[@SciTyeTech]

My pleasure!

[@Sizun1]

Interesting, but you must measure the conductivity when the paint is dry. Can it stick to rubber of remote control ?

[@SciTyeTech]

Yes, that's a good idea.

[@lr21643]

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.

[@rerikm]

Could you apply it with an airbrush??

[@SciTyeTech]

Maybe.

[@13osco]

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.

[@SciTyeTech]

I would say try it. It seems like an interesting idea!

[@JusnFuentes]

Maybe next time if you used a syringe to have more consistency in your line. Thank you for sharing!

[@aleyha_]

I would want to do this for my digital piano, i have zero idea about resistance and all that stuff but do u think it would be okay

[@SciTyeTech]

Cool idea! You might need to put a resistor between the paint and circuit for that to work.

[@S.Tajwar]

You can use glycerine instead of dish soap, this way you wont get foam

[@Ksns88292]

Can we use graphite pencil powder ? Which is used in charcoal art Is it useful for conductive paint

[@SciTyeTech]

That would work too.

[@darattaqwa]

Is Elmer’s glue the same as PVA glue in U.K.?

[@SciTyeTech]

Very similar.

[@AamirKhanG]

How to remove all that resistance?

[@multitechservicepoint4917]

Can I use isopropyl to mixed carbon

[@SciTyeTech]

No, because the carbon would dry up and crumble.

[@acidtechno]

is the paint permeable? after its dry thx

[@SciTyeTech]

Not really.

[@acidtechno]

@@SciTyeTech okey thanks

[@shikoruyasu]

How well does it work in an airbrush?

[@SciTyeTech]

I am sure it would work well. Just need to make the liquid thin.

[@anormalkagan1209]

Can I make an megaohm resistance conductive paint?

[@SciTyeTech]

Most likely.

[@lr21643]

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

[@MohammedMohammed-xg4md]

Can I use this for mechanical mod to get more performance and conducting?

[@marcisaacs9407]

What about after it dries

[@mr.k8069]

Graphite is available in pencile

[@SciTyeTech]

Yes that's true.

[@SteveEaton]

I am curious why there is a need to use distilled water?

[@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.

Colorado River water already has 2 gms/liter.

[@nickthesail0r]

I think is easier to take some pencils and take the graphite from them than touch the chemicals from the battery

[@AlamgirHossain-ge4gg]

thanks brother. this advice very nice.

[@reygood1]

Thank you!

[@johnslugger]

Copper ink works the best. Salt water breaks down into deadly and irritating Chlorine gas.

[@nh4759]

So the Glue wins? It has the lowest resistance.

[@SciTyeTech]

Yes, and it allows for easy painting.

[@mikehorrocks2909]

And the empty 6volt container can be used for holding pencils, pens, etc. Or it could be repurposed for another battery.🤪

[@SciTyeTech]

That's a good idea! I could put rechargeable lithium batteries in it.

[@mikehorrocks2909]

@@SciTyeTech and can you imagine the amount of power you would get if you filled that sucker up with the coin-sized “2032’s” or similar?🤪

[@EslamNawito]

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)

[@georgegibbens9356]

when someone says i'm going to make conductive paint you assume they mean conductive When Dry, but this is why you should never assume....

[@areeb87]

Is this supposed to lose conductivity when dry?

[@letmepicyou]

Why doesn't anyone use powdered aluminum when making conductive paint???

[@anoirbentanfous]

fine powder aluminum is hard to obtain and pretty dangerous as it can self-ignite

[@hectorcalderondiaz1821]

Boom! no good

[@letmepicyou]

@@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?

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?

[@SciTyeTech]

I could have. I wanted to use what I already have offhand and show an alternative way to resource it.

Why on earth are you not leaving it to dry before testing.... it seems pretty stupid because you don't leave paint wet all the time do you😂😂😂

[@paulvandendungen9883]

Why do you measure wet paint ? there is no use for it !

[@SciTyeTech]

@@SciTyeTech But i want to now how it is after drying, that is what is important for the use of the paint ,dirty water is conductive !

It's not the water that is conductive but what is in the water, which will still be there after the water evaporates.
