@FireBreathingReptile @Zerbula @trybalwolf I will definitely move to a new thread. When I first started trying to make them I kind of was just doing it for fun but now a lot of people have shown interest so I'll move more towards getting them to people. I still want a firefly though, having a tritium implant would be so…

@crucible it glows about as bright as a green glow stick right after cracking it (after fully charging the implant) without charging the powder it hardly glows. Now I do have the powder sitting under a lamp and it glows half strength just from sitting there. I'm going to say that this is going to end up being a charge when…

So here's my first prototype. Same dimensions as the v1 firefly roughly, single layer of good Corning borosilicate glass (Pyrex). It is 3mm with a .6mm wall and ~18mm long. I may make them a little shorter for added defense against breaking. The area of powder inside is around ~38mm^3 compared to the firefly' ~9mm^3, about…

Ok this stuff is pretty fricken cool. These are the brightest three colors, the others weren't bright enough to be worth it.
-
Ok, I have the sample pack of all their glow powders as well as some 3mm OD 2.2mm ID borosilicate tube ordered. I sprung for the boro instead of the quarts because after some research I believe while quartz is harder, it is more brittle than borosilicate and also harder to neatly seal. The glow powder states that it is…

I've been in for 4 years and just did a magnet two months ago. Just make sure it doesn't affect physical activities and don't tell anyone about it

@puzbiks1 @Birdhandz how does the powder compare to a similarly sized tritium tube? It should be viable to seal one end of the glass tube, tamper in the powder so it is nice and compact, and then seal the other end using the methods on the site I linked to. This looks very promising if the powder can have the same light…

Damn, he put a lot into v2 it seems like. Seems like whoever is closing off the tubes doesn't know what they are doing or made a quick job of it. http://www.ilpi.com/glassblowing/index.html This site has lots of information on scientific glass sealing procedures. Makes me think about trying to make a prototype myself if I…

Damn. The only thing I could see as making them dimmer is increased healing time or the lead sheet preventing half the light from illuminating into the hand. I wonder if a version without the lead sheet would be worlds better, but the radiation would have to be checked again. If another batch was made like this they could…

I would really like to purchase a green v1. If anybody has one for sale or if @AlexSmith has any left over I would take it. I know they are out of stock :(
