Potassium Alum Pyramid (growing crystals)

[hypersoniq]

I found this site selling 20 pounds for $68.95 (about 9 kilos)
It's photography grade... is that useable?

Thank you Hypersoniq !

it seems ok, i wonder why photographers need potasssium alum, the price seems ok too, the formula is AlK (CO4)2  12H, just make sure that is a pure quality with nothing add in it,

it is possible that this alum is pure or not, usually i do not buy the U.S.P. quality cause there are something more in it, we need pure industrial quality and it is less expensive, yeah

in drugstore they sell potassium alum (250 gr or 500 gr) not pure with a kind of unknown powder not solvable in water, it is not a big problem cause we can separate easily potassium alum, just dissolve all and crystallise all to collect only the crystallized part (like white powder) the impurity will not crystallize





thank you The One ! he found me a distributor in Quebec !

i have not call them yet, i have stilll some alum to use here

i have got many questions in my youtube's comments, each day there is approximatly 150 hits, it is not a lot, i hope that it will be enough to save my technics for the future.

there is so much things that we can cristallize with my discovery, for example NACl will do nice cube easily too

Did you construct the generator chambers in your youtube videos or are they available somewhere?

Hello hypersoniq !

i have construct all of it myself, i have tried approximatly 10 different methods, at the beginning i was only cooling down a saturated solution of potassium alum, i had to invent the crystal generator technic, and after that i had to find a way to introduce potassium alum while the crystal is growing

the vortex propeller is a critical device, the container interact with the vortex, one must be done to fit with the other

i have to learn everything step by step, and try again ...again.......again.....a lot of wrong tests

to perfectly control the saturation of the solution is the most difficult part, and it can be only acheive with a visual hability to see with eyes, for example the form of the vortex inside the Cristallarium (the chamber)

the Cristallarium in my video is a cooking ceramic Vision, and it is working better in those one than the others i have tried, the thickness do sort of wall preventing infra red waves to come inside the Cristallarium

if you look to the shema above you'll see that there is nothing expensive to buy

I have a friend who made a movie of a slowmo vortex that happens in water sitting under a pyramid. He is promising a cd but not yet, so I cannot show you. But maybe it would work to make a posterpaper pyramid to put over it.

It would save electricity.

I am just not ready to do it yet - lab is full still.
