Regular viewers will know I've been trying to make a bubble tube for a while. Now I've been able to get some methylene chloride I've been able to complete the challenge. To make a bubble tube that bubbles readily at hand temperature.
I've suddenly realised that Ben Krasnow (Applied Science) made a methylene chloride bubble tube too.

    Brilliant Clive😀 I’ve got 5 of the original bubble tubes from a set my dad bought in the 50’s and every now and then I think about rewiring it and getting it running again. You’ve inspired me to get on with the job. Cheers. Tom

    I have been into bubble lights since I played with what was left of a series set back in the 1970s.
    I now have many newer ones, most burned out. I am also a welder and have torches. Thus is definitely something I want to try.

    Can you make a blubber with a recycled spiral CFL bulb? I found you can use pumped water & play sand to clean the tube.

    Late to this party: Did you ever mount it over a low wattage incandescent bulb to warm it? Little methyline choloride USB bubble lamp to sit atop a pc or somesuch
