Do-it-yourself phosphor

This article is devoted to the manufacture of such an unusual substance as a phosphor. For those who do not know what it is - this is the very substance that converts the energy that it absorbs into light radiation. What is most interesting, the color can be absolutely anything. And it all depends on the filter that is applied to the surface.

As for the photo of the phosphor, it is a simple powder that has the ability to give light in the dark after it is “charged” with light. Artificial light is also suitable.

In order to prepare a phosphor, you need to be in the role of a chemist and prepare some of the ingredients:


• Coniferous Concentrate
• Boric acid
• The most ordinary water
• Wooden stick for stirring
• The glass is transparent

So, everything is ready for the preparation of this wonderful liquid.

Take a glass and pour there coniferous concentrate.

Now, pour there, some water. You will get a solution based on tartrazine.

Pour a little boric acid into a spoon and moisten it with a dye solution. Now mix everything to wet the remaining acid.

It's time to boil everything. You should form bubbles.

Cool the mixture and add more dye, after which all this needs to be boiled again.

You should have a yellowish substance. This is the same phosphor.

All this is certainly beautiful. But, like any substance, this one has one single drawback. The duration of the glow is not as long as we would like.
