Recharging spent dry erase markers

When your dry erase markers start to not work as well, this is a way to get the ink working better.
I've been doing this for markers this year and have only had a couple of markers go bad where I had to throw them out. Currently I'm projecting to use about 1/3 of the markers I typically do.
The cup can be made by melting holes in a plastic cup. Then tie a string through both holes. After that it's as simple as spinning it around in a circle.
When you stop sometimes the markers fly out. Also if you do this with a normal marker the ink becomes excessive and can leak out, especially when you open the cap.

Also, you can seat old markers tip-down onto a space shuttle blasting off, and the propulsion force will drive the left alcohol downwards into the very tip (or you can snap off the stopper on the back and refill it with alcohol).

😂😂😂 Please I came here to get educated.

[@1281bexta]

@@freshfiji5474I feel like you were informed of possible alternative.
It’s like that saying “there’s more than one way to revive a marker”
😁

[@EdwardTriesToScience]

I usually take the stopper on the back off and add some rubbing alcohol but this is easier

I used my socks.

Did it work

Worked for me also. Thanks

I think this must be the 21st century's greatest invention and he should be given Nobel prize for his achievements.

[@NickzAndMikz]

From the second I saw the string and the cup I knew what was coming

[@blueyonder1233]

Maybe if you attach the marker to an automobile's wheel & go for a spin down the highway it may help.

[@thijsweijters1065]

You must be very dedicated then, because the gasoline will probably cost more than a new marker

+1 for describing _centripetal_ force instead of _centrifugal_ force.
Also +1 for wearing goggles.

I use the same idea just 10RCF for 5 minutes in one of the lab's old centrifuges

You saved me!

I will try this tomorrow I am your new subscriber

If I started doing this at work, I'm sure HR would get involved somehow.

Can you give me the Way how to make ink in my school easily?

Scientific solution 👍

[@shivamsanchez8329]

Yaa centrifugation might help

[@user-iq9xo9qm9d]

thanksssssssssssssssssssssss it worked

[@coolsaige]

Or you could shake the marker-

[@saisagarmrcool4610]

well this metod in the video is easier

[@coolsaige]

@@saisagarmrcool4610 no it’s not????

[@saisagarmrcool4610]

@@coolsaige how is it possible I am saying both are easy but in my opinion the video shown is easier thats what I am saying

[@coolsaige]

@@saisagarmrcool4610 in the video you have to make a whole mechanism that will probably take you like 10 minutes to do. OR in my version you hold the marker in your hand. shake it. and TADA.In only a time period of 20 seconds!!!!
So how is the one in a video easier? when it is clearly more complex

[@saisagarmrcool4610]

ahem, listen if you have a built one already then no need to build plus, this also about physics!

[@saisagarmrcool4610]

It can easily just save our money from spending again

[@len9518]

You can't be serious.

[@heelspurs]

Pull out the tips and drip a little rubbing alcohol in them.

[@vickyandersen8660]

Can I use hand sanitizer? I don’t have rubbing alcohol 🤔

[@techtinkerin]

Use vodka😉👍
