Mysterious chemical changes color depending on perspective

- Here is a crazy chemical that changes color depending on how it's viewed! I was first introduced to the effect when a friend showed me a hard to believe video that was posted by reddit user budget_cuts (thanks Zach for the tip!). In the video he shows a chemical that dramatically changes color depending on the perspective. He didn't say what chemical was used in the video, but I had to witness this effect in person, so I started reading and experimenting to try figuring it out.
original reddit post: / a_solution_we_made_in_...
The crazy effect is mainly due to a phenomenon called dichromatism that shows up in some substances where the color (hue) changes depending on the thickness or concentration of the solution. Surprisingly it wasn't untill 2007 that this effect was described in comprehensive scientific detail. (paper on the effect link.springer.com/article/10.... )

Love your videos bro.
styropyro I just saw this article where they use lasers to achieve this : Mini antimatter accelerator could rival the likes of the Large Hadron Collider
hay styro check this out you nor i could find anything on the internet about dark laser technology but I found it in an app and made a video about it.could you check it out and possibly explain this in your next video.(thanks hifi)

Your videos are refreshingly unpolished and old-school, and I mean that sincerely. Never change.
timg2727 yes
For real. I love it so much
can you make a laser with it tho?
you can make anything a laser if you pump it hard enough
You know what to do then.
styropyro WAIT!
COLOUR CHANGING LASER!
MAKE LASER ROTATE ABOUT A SPHERE OF THE LIQUID
AND IT CHANGES COLOUR
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If that is true, styro, make a blood-laser
It looks like you just turned water into wine.
i should start a religion
styropyro do it. 😂
styropyro All hail StyrusPyrus
"You can make a religion out of thi- DON'T!"
Chill Bass ooooh
You should do an anarchist cook book truth vs lies series
Maybe on Bitchute rather than CZcams.
that comment didnt age well, now the world is totalitarian
@@mamupelu565 I mean I'd still like to see it
mmm bananadine
It’s always a good day when styropyro uploads!
M1cksta05 - I agree, just wish he had time to do more!
Agreed
styropyro: *Uses picture from wikipedia*
teachers around the world: *anger*
You can buy pumkin seed oil in Austria, it's kind of a local thing there. It's especially nice if you pour it onto some vanilla ice cream and the effects make it look a lot cooler.
Edit: on wikipedia it said it's a national dish in a lot of former Austro-Hungarian countries, not only Austria, my apologies
Saw you on a Bloomberg video. You deserve more attention for your awesome science and educational work! Keep it up!
I’ve been watching your videos for a couple days now and I’m ADDICTED MAN I binge watch your videos any time I can now man. Love your vids
Nobody:
Styropyro: How can I make this about lasers?
What an excellent set of deductions and then such a great analysis and explanation of what you had seen. And a very interesting subject to cover too!
Another awesome video. Thanks for spending time making these for us.
Saw this on Instagram. Glad you got around to making a video.
Amazing work styro! Your channel is a testament to your ingenuity and awesome work I hope to see more!!
Seen you on Motherboard, awesome channel and your attitude is wonderful. You are helping countless people get interested in our world. Keep up the great work.
Like this video a lot! Very interesting. Might try putting a rug on the floor or something on the walls to dampen the echo of your garage but it didn’t take away from the content for me. Just some ideas to help, hope your channel explodes!
the simulation is glitching, the textures are messing up. Call the admins!
Allan please add details
you were banned for hack
I love these videos, you manage to make them both entertaining and educational
Your channel is amazing! Keep up the good work
I'm so glad you're still uploading!
You deserve so much more subscribers. Such an interesting and addictive channel to view.
You can get quite strong dichromatism from red to green by mixing blue and yellow food coloring at the right concentration. I noticed this sort of effect years back when I was a kid: it was with that brand of food coloring that came in four little droplet-shaped cointainers in blue, yellow, green and red... I wish I could remember the brand of food coloring though.
8 drops of hydrocholic acid disliked this video
Hydrocholic?
You mean hydrochloric
@@Name-eg1uf No shit. What else could they be talking about?
@butter. Thanks butter

This is what youtube needs ive never seen any videos like the ones you post keep it up most original channel ive seen in a while
Dude, I love your content. Don’t ever give up in your channel.
lmao "i couldn't tell you where to find pumpkin seed oil."
Yay you didn't get another strike!!! 😀
Btw can you do more old science book
Dude I just learned about this channel from motherboard and I'm so in love with this. I wish you and Cody from Cody's lab would do a special video together. He's in Utah but hey flights can be cheap. :) Please think about it.
Love your videos man keep up the great work✌
Saw your video on motherboard, I love your content keep it up
Congrats on 500k!
So cool! Thanks for explaining and showing it to us! :D
Styro good video! Can you invest in a lav mic for better audio?
I don't normally comment but this was a really cool, well made video! Honestly really impressed, thanks! :D
Keep doing what youre doing bro!!!!
Goodluck in the future
You need a lab area to film. The garage echoes too much.
electronicsNmore he doesn't make any money on CZcams hell have to be donated one
He could just put up some acoustic foam to solve that.
@@somon90 You could just donate those acoustics foam pads to solve that.
@@7XHARDER lmao
Or use a lav mic whenever possible.
Excellent video! Very informative.
Even though I don’t enjoy chemistry,your videos are really fun to watch. :)
more chemistry videos please! I also can't wait to see the laser sniper if your still working on that one!
Hey man congrats on the interview with Vice News! Hopefully it shows CZcams your channel in a better light and will stop censoring you. Keep up the good work 😎
I didn't even get notified that this video was uploaded. But thank you!
Just watched your spot on Motherboard! Totally subscribed keep doing your science.
Omg ty so much for explaining this. I had no idea
Happy to see another video!
Who needs a good background when u have a rusty leader and a dirty wall
*ladder
*probably the coolest video you've ever done. Truly*
Love your videos keep it coming
Have you made any progress on your "explosive powered laser"? I remember you bringing it up a long time ago but can't remember when.
You get a similar result with a potassium ferricyanide aqueous solution with an excess of potassium iodide and some sulfuric acid. The mixture looks yellow from above but red from the side.
Hey Styropyro, I have a question about your Homebuilt bazooka, how many volts and amps are running through? Also are you using AC or DC? Just curious, wanting to know what makes it work since its 400 watts ik
I've only watched two of your videos, but holy shit good sir I subscribed at the speed of light
i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about... but im still subbed and watch every video lol
I just saw your Motherboard interview and subscribed immediately... you sir are a little legend...
I love how passionate you are
You should try to make a EXTREMELY narrow but wide lazer, like a room scanner.
Could have been polarization as well just a filter on the glass and a filter on the lense but idk maybe even a polarization of the light itself
Where did you get your bromophenol blue? I can only seem to find it in solution already. I would prefer the powdered form like what you used
i wonder if this would also work with a square or rectangular container with sharp edges. like an aquarium but smaller. because atm it mostly looks like its only happening on curved surfaces. and the effect also looks a lot like refraction
As you said blue florescent and daylight bulb make a huge differeance and in the video he uses both to trick your eyes its red when the camera is pointing to the yelow light and when he doges for the blue color he poits the camera up where there is a white florescent light
Good to see that you keep posting. Keep up the good work!
Every time I watch your videos I feel smarter
I think I have seen that effect before, I don't remember well from where but it could be from nail polish remover the one that is pink, so basically acetone.
Yay, chemistry and physics! I love this channel.
I’ve seen this almost exact thing when making cannabis oil using 99.8% isopropyl alcohol and finely ground cannabis boiled and you will see the same thing pretty much 😊 take care! Peace ✌️ from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

New sub from motherboard here, love you stuff already
With the risk of sounding like Betty Boo; you're my hero!
This video really bothered me, and you solved it. Thanks!
This is why labs that use bromothymol indicator should have horizontal parallel sun-blinds, not vertical. Sunlight has a strong effect and in direct sunlight it'll look red rather than blue.
I have no clue if you will see this comment but I recently came across a youtube video of a vintage advertisement that was showcasing a toy lazer called the Plazer Ray. If you can get your hands on one to see the technology that is within it and perhaps Jerry rig it to make it actually as depicted in the commercial that would be so legendary and awesome. Thanks Styropyro.
can you please do acoustic treatment to that room? It is hard to understand much if what you say due to the echoes.
the effect shown by the fluid is iridescence.
ir·i·des·cent
adjective
showing luminous colors that seem to change when seen from different angles.
This guy is the mastermind of comedy it feels like
Tanzanite(blue/amber)
Chrysoberyl(Red/Green)
AT&T Laser crystals(Red-orange-purple/Green-olive)
and some amber (bluish/brownish)
And something from Jamaca which is (Lemon/Kelly Green in second refractions)
do that in a solid you could wear in a precious metal ring if you like..
Do you know that in a light green light source, rubies are still red?
Thank you for finding the real answer! I saw so many bologna hypotheses in those threads.
Just seen Motherboards piece on you.
I'm a fan now.
Thank you !!!
spent glowsticks also have this effect...the yellow ones are blue/light yellow, and the green ones are orange and green.
Is the effect the same if you fill up the glass to a height equal to the diameter or is it then red from all sides as more blue light gets absorbed from top to bottom
Would the dichromatic effect persist if the volume were uniform throughout? For instance, if the liquid were in a container that's, say, 20cm³, would the color still change if the light were traveling the same distance to get through the liquid to our point of perspective?
I'm not sure if I'm asking this correctly, but my thinking is that different amounts (wavelengths? I'm not very good at the terminology...) of light being absorbed or making it through to our eyes/to the camera is causing a shift in the color.
Does any of what I'm saying make any sense?
Man I am such a sucker for chemistry stuff. Would love to see more like it.
Could you do a DIY laser video where you create a laser that is not harmful to the eyes like a laser pointer, but one that you can see the beam in mid air unlike a laser pointer? Is this even possible? Thanks
Also, for those complaining about the audio- sure, it wasn't _perfect_, but it wasn't _impossible_ to hear any of it, like some of you are saying... Try turning it up? This type of video is always what he has made, and it's better this way, honestly. It's unpolished, unadulterated. Its not heavily edited and none of it "gets lost in translation".
Please don't change the format of your videos to the lab setting with a voiceover, like most of the others do. This is your personal style, and it works. Keep up the great work!
Its the same with a large cup of black tea. At the border its yellowisch but the deeper you look inside, the redder the hue gets,aswell as darker
If I'm interpreting this correctly, this is similar to the phenomenon that makes the sky blue during the day and reddish at dawn and dusk, although I think it's due to scattering not absorption of light
Dear styropyro
Which laser housing should I use for a diode that is 3,8 mm wide?
Love your videos so so much
So I'm very interested in lasers and would like to know about them where do I find some basic knowledge of them?
Do you not have a burette? Or are they not accurate enough in this case?
Hello Drake, is this solution safe to put in an airtight plastic ball? it would be a cool thing to have
Nice video btw your Motherboard video was awesome!
i love you and hope you never leave youtube you are my hero
Dumb question: would it still show the same colors if it was in a cylinder vs a flask? ie: same amount ( roughly ) of distance for the light to go through?
Is it possible ti make a lasser so bright that u can see it when its on vantablack surface?Thx
Rick Simpson oil has this same effect. When viewing with plain light it looks dark green, but when a light is shined directly into the liquid, it appears amber red.
try putting it in a round bottom flask, see if its different
This reminds me of Steve Mould's video about (How sugar twists Light color to the right)
this is simple example of light scattering by particles of colloidal dimensions you might wanna make sure though they are the right to just make the colors scattered observable.
The first thing that shot threw my mind was it was a chiral compound and that this effect was somehow linked to chirality ....
what if you have another dichromatic substance in a nonpolar solvent and mixed it with the bromophenol blue solution?
Here I have 3 lasers:
a *yellow* one
a _skyblue_ one
I lost my mind at that moment
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
