Flexible Aluminum Electroluminescent Display - No Transparent Conductor Needed

[esolonet]

should have used brawndo. cause its got electrolytes. 

[jabberwork]

I'm interested in the EL phosphors. What material is it?

[Ibringthetruth1]

Jeri, how about explaining the power source and what copier to borrow it from.

[rulyvideo]

i plan to try it jeri, btw why there is etching process ? u using electrolysis for what? is for growing dielectric?

[TheSolarmike]

Wow you are talented. Thank you for uploading good videos with proper narration. Most YouTube videos have inadequate verbal information and some stupid song. But not you, your a natural

[SpatterProductions]

do you know where I can buy EL Phosphors, I can't fined a place.

[blckfire539]

would you say its more practical and cost effective to order a bunch of already made el panels/tape or to make your own? also where do you get the chemical components for the lights?

[jeriellsworth]

@blckfire539 It's probably more practical to buy it if you need ordinary shapes. The material is Luxprint from dupont.

[blckfire539]

@jeriellsworth thank ya much for responding :D

[CampKohler]

How about clothing? The EL could spell out, "DON'T LOOK AT THESE!"

[Zappyguy111]

THIS IS AWESOME

[thepackrat]

You know ... it's Jeri's VOICE ... and Jeri's kinda' science ... but there are NO BANDAIDS on any of the fingers ...so ...I ask you ...is it REALLY JERI !?!?!?

[jeriellsworth]

@thepackrat Guess I was using the wrong acid.

[AmazGraz]

I keep thinking. I cannot help it. You drive me to it. Well, if this works so well, a simple, ready made mesh or screen would work wonderfully to make EL tydies (or did I miss or overlook something?).

[jeriellsworth]

@AmazGraz A mesh should work too.

[aoeuuiaiui]

The toy is interesting, but more importantly, I like the way you think :)

[the1cyrus]

Amazing! make more of these videos about this process.

[dbalieiro]

really cool... thanks for sharing... [;)]

[timb1986]

That is awesome!! Great discovery/reuse of a "failure"!

[StringsCrusader]

HOLY SHIT. this is cool.

[NurdRage]

Impressive work.

[SonicR3duc3r]

So nice!!

[bkraz333]

Very cool idea!

[edabean007]

Jeri is my new hero!

[TheNewYorkPete]

Lemons into lemonade.

[scompo]

That's really a nice display!

[AmazGraz]

Yea! However, you should be careful to 'patent' before you post. Someday you may do something that you wish you had? And how cool it this? I mean, when I saw your earlier videos I thouht how nice it would be to find something that would work without the transparent, you know, stuff. And I wondered about some things. But, gosh, I already forgot. But, it will come to me.

[AmazGraz]

@AmazGraz Oh, and you are beginning to sound 'professionally' like a documentary pro.

[AmazGraz]

@AmazGraz And you do! So neat.

[AmazGraz]

@AmazGraz Oh, I remember. I was considering whether one could use epoxy or shellac to make a clearcoat. Because one could possibly brush on the medium, and when it was in the tacky stage, then coat it with graphite or carbon to make a conductive layer. This of course is how they plate plastics with chrome. There has to be a conductive layer to serve as the anode to attract the metal.

[catatonicprime]

"Instead of considering this a failure I decided to figure out a way to use this..." - Way to be Jeri, this is why I subscribe!

[ubuntututorials]

That is very cool.

[Gta2CubanPete]

Nice effect!

I guess you already know this, but aluminium foil is not 100% pure. It contains iron and perhaps also carbon. You can simply check this yourself by "dissolving" aluminium foil in NaOH. It will show ironhydroxide on the bottom.

[the79jinx]

Woow ,, damn nice experiment!

[kenatiod]

Basic tool of inventing; turn failure inside out, like a pocket. Well done, Jeri.

[Twistx77]

Thats so simple and yet so awesome!! You are great!! Thanks so much!

[ljllucky62]

Jeri you are a garage science GOD!

[myst32YT]

Very interesting!!! Thats for taking the time and posting!!

[bobcat0]

Where can I get some of that magical Auminum? ;)

[itchesavvy]

Taking the unexpected result and turning it around into a successful application, so awesome! Nice work.

[fronkenpoop]

Hi Jerie... I guess this is probably one of the many reasons you're rich... and I'm not ;)

[morto360]

awesome!!

[sonicase]

nice

[xvdifug]

Porous Aluminum would make an excellent filter medium for air,oil or water prefiltering. Plus it can be easily recycled!

[tel0p]

Nice folking job. 

[catman72]

as always - very innovative. great work :-)

[Films4You]

neat... Would like to see bigger idea's, although size increases could be harder to do.

[Peteworth]

Fantastic

[XsavioR38]

I would probably be into chemistry if I had seen your videos when I was a kid. Impressive work
