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.
A bubble “chube”.
I just hit the 1000th like on this video
bluetack? plastic sleeves? my god man just get some chemistry equipment! bungs! silcone tubes! or heck get ground glass on glass stuff, and vaseline 😀
Now where is the Nilered video synthesizing the chemical.
Where does one get methyleenchloride?
Any ideas on how to add colors to the liquid?
The police seized my methylene chloride….
I saw a video where he used crushed glass for nucleation
I make these tubes but also the shooting star and almost done with the oil bubble replica tubes that are similar to the ones from the 40s. If your interested i can send you a few.
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
