This looks amazing and about to try this at my halloween party🤩 Just wondering about the recycling, where do you put it after you don't use it anymore?😯 Purely curiosity and wondering how i can do it!
If you have airtight glass jars or containers, and the safe place to keep them, we can reuse it year after year. If all the water does evaporate from the glass containers, it leaves a little glow in the dark film, and you can add more water next year. Hope you have fun at your party.
Really inspired by your Halloween builds! How long does the "glow in the dark" effect last? We have a decorating contest that runs for the whole week leading up to Halloween so don't want to set myself up to have to redo glow in the dark potions every day!
Hi, thanks for the positive feedback! The highlighter in water will last a long time. I have it out 3-4weeks before Halloween. I hope you have fun building your own, start looking for and saving interesting shaped bottles and jars now so you have enough. The bigger the container the brighter it glows. Happy Halloween!
Another very impressive project. Where do you store all of this from year to year? I know it breaks down, but still you have a lot to store. Do you have any experience with PLCs? I may be able to come up with one. Contact closure inputs and 120 VAC outputs, with a manual and programming tools.
The garage is getting a bit full, and I’m out of room in the shed. Sometimes I build first, and figure out what to do with it after Halloween. After this year I might have to break down and get a small storage unit.😉 I haven’t used a PLC before, I’ve mostly used prop controllers for pneumatic props. I got my start using a kit from frightprops.com, they make it easy to get started, especially if your doing this as a hobby.
@@CyborgVlog A PLC will have many more inputs and outputs that can be arranged in software on a PC to create any kind of circuits much like making a multiple relay and time delay sequential circuit with electrical components. In fact, the programming lets you use normally open and closed symbols common to relay circuit designs. Time delays are just boxes with input and outputs determined by to position of entry and exit in the software line drawing that you create on the computer screen. Relay ladder logic format is used with the voltage line being down the left side of the screen and the power return line down the right side. All of your circuits are drawn between them. When finished with the design, you download this design into the PLC and if you designed it correctly, it runs as intended. There are no wiring errors. If it doesn't work as expected, you make the changes in the line drawing on the computer screen and download it again. What is on the computer screen is what you get, again with no wiring errors. Your imagination will be the only restriction to the automation that you can create using a PLC. You can even operate several different and otherwise unrelated things with just one PLC. Automation Direct in Georgia offer small starter packages that are priced very reasonably on up to very sophisticated PLCs and a great Support team to help when you need it. Can you find my email through youtube? I can provide more help.
Thanks for all the information, I was able to look at the automation direct website. I will have to take a serious look at where I could use a PLC in next year’s build. They look very helpful. I’ll reach out to you with questions that come up. Thanks for being so helpful!
Hi, I’ve had them set up for over a month and they continued to glow when using the UV light on them. I haven’t tried for longer, but I think they would last a long time. Thanks for watching and for your question.

@@CyborgVlog Ohh nice okey! I will totally try and save them!😎 Thank you so much!😊

Again Amazing jeez your so talented and good at building Im shocked that you did this all by yourself.
Thanks again, I did have the support of my family, and they put up with me obsessing over it since March. I appreciate all your positive feedback!

This was amazing! I can’t wait to try it. I do have a question that may sound silly: how long will they stay glow in the dark?
Thank you for sharing!

Would this work with different color highlighter markers?
I haven’t had any other colors work as good as the yellow.
@@CyborgVlog Thanks so much for the response. I appreciate it.
