Chemicals that glow with specifics colors when exposed to an current
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around identifying specific chemicals that emit distinct colors when subjected to an electric current, focusing on the application of direct current in various forms. The inquiry includes considerations of the state of the chemicals (solid or liquid) and their properties, such as electroluminescence and electrical conductivity.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant seeks chemicals that glow red, green, and blue when exposed to direct current.
- Another participant questions the application method of the current and the physical state of the chemicals, suggesting that the chemicals could be gases or solids and inquiring about their conductivity and electroluminescent properties.
- A participant mentions the use of small glass-like cells for the chemicals and specifies that they need to be electrically conductive when diluted.
- There is a reference to a patent describing a solid electroluminescent device, suggesting that a phosphor could be used in a suspension within a low dielectric fluid to achieve the desired effect.
- A later reply indicates a willingness to explore the suggested patent for potential solutions.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express varying views on the types of chemicals and methods for achieving the desired glowing effect, indicating that multiple competing ideas remain without a consensus on a specific solution.
Contextual Notes
The discussion includes assumptions about the physical states of the chemicals and their required properties, which remain unresolved. The effectiveness of the proposed methods and materials is not established.
