Making a Silver Mirror using Powerade

I tested to see if the the sugar in Powerade can be used to reduce silver ions to silver metal. The chemical test involved the oxidation of glucose and fructose in Powerade to reduce silver ions to silver metal.

I wasnt expecting powerade to just be the catalyst..

So cool and very education

[@cameronmckee4231]

So cool!!!

[@mysticmarble94]

Really nice and shiny ✌

Witness him!

[@flolubis770]

Sir, if you make a mirror but it is translucent, what are the chemicals to make it and what are the ingredients for making a regular mirror, please explain, thank you

[@1deadmanshand]

Is this possible for glass mirror artwork?

[@killnconquer2645]

Is this the same process when they spray plastic to give it a chrome finish?

[@ulisessilva1814]

Good evening friend, could you help me, I would like to know how to recover the silver nitrate, after taking an essay, like the one in your video, many thanks, excellent content

[@ginoginetti]

is that dangerous to breath?

[@AliasgharZarif-tg4pi]

Hello, how to spray silver nitrate? I heard before that he prepared a two-component solution with iodine and sprayed them.

[@droid_protocol_official]

Wow that’s crazy! I’ve bought silver nitrate chemicals to chrome projects. I had no idea the substance was so simple. How do you make the silver solution? Was it done by electrolysis?

[@TommyTechnetium]

Silver solution is made by dissolving silver nitrate in water, adding some ammonia and KOH. See "silver mirror" in Shakhashiri volume 4 for more details

[@amirforootan3484]

Can this be applied to ceramics

[@refluxcatalyst7190]

I keep wanting to see someone make a mirror using honey as the reducing agent.

[@richspillman4191]

Hey I wonder if it would work on a telescope mirror to make it reflective...if only there was an easy to follow guide that wasn't cheezy.

[@photonik-luminescence]

It sounds like am idea i have. The mirror has to be pretty well done with care and the parabolic glass must be pretty perfect as any indentation can lead to problems later on in the optical quality of the image

[@richspillman4191]

@@photonik-luminescence I'd like to hear about your idea

[@photonik-luminescence]

@@richspillman4191 so far i am thinking of coating some lab watchglass and use a regular secondary mirror to see at wich distance it works (focal length). I just need a silver based compound, wich i don't have. Maybe spinning and shaking the solution on the watch glass will do it ? Maybe it's better to do it in a container and shake it.

[@shrinivaspattewar5484]

Sir reply ratio please 1000 ml

[@1deadmanshand]

Would this work on glass mirror artwork?

[@TommyTechnetium]

I think it could work, depending upon what you are trying to do.

Hy sir I need golden color parches in Pakistan u bay Yas and u buy Tell me sir

[@CloudScience]

👍👍👍👍

[@jimross8150]

Would this be able to reflect lasers?

[@TommyTechnetium]

Yes

[@aliahm5450]

ماشاء الله تبارك الله

[@deepakjyoti7015]

Can gold color

[@TommyTechnetium]

I can do copper color, but not gold czcams.com/video/rr0MlOvV-Hc/video.html

[@wllys55]

Can this be a spray on solution?

[@EssexSilvering]

Yes ;-)

[@maracachucho8701]

Do one with Prime instead of Gatorade for guaranteed views.
