Store a charge? I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Actually, a thin film coating on a glass surface could produce some fantastic colors. The window-tinting material on my car windows is actually thin enough to work. The thickness varies in a periodic pattern that I'm guessing was related to the manufacturing process. The effect is more noticeable through polarized glasses, but it's definitely there.

So, hippie windows, yes, but also many practical applications.

So you could just store a charge in a glass window and then you'll have hippy windows.

I used POV-Ray 3.6 almost entirely. It's free. :)

This is the best video I've ever seen on thin film interference. Thanks so much. What did you use to make it?

I have a shorter edited version that I can show in class, but this longer one can be watched by my students over and over, and they can stop, fast-forward, or rewind to see any bits they need or want. I also know the structure could use some tweaking ... maybe put some "cool stuff" at the beginning to spark interest. Hopefully, I can get something else posted within the next several months.

Thank you for the positive feedback.

Excellent video.

The music is "Anitra's Dance" from the music & play "Peer Gynt", composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875, and performed by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
