(de)light: Liquid Light by Christina Ferraz Rigo

By Alex in Arts & Crafts, Gadget on Sep 2, 2008 at 12:28 pm


In her (de)light project, Christina Ferraz Rigo creates a lamp that uses liquid as its source of light:

In dark rooms, the liquid glows with intensity when the proper catalyst is mixed with water. Sure, it may not be conventional, but liquid light is some snazzy stuff. The catalyst used is most likely a phosphorescent material, which is non-toxic and unlike glowsticks, it has a decent “glow time” of about 20 hours.

    the original glow sticks have an light time of 12 hours, however, the glow can stil be seen after 24+.

    That would be great for any kind of "light" beer

    The question is, if you drink this stuff will it make your pee glow? Enquiring minds want to know.
