What makes a glowstick glow?
Chemical lightsticks glow by way of two chemicals; cyalume and hydrogen peroxide. Inside the glowstick is a thin glass tube; inside of that is a chemical known as hydrogen peroxide. Outside of this tube, there is a chemical known as cyalume. When a glowstick is "cracked", the glass tube is broken, and when a glowstick is shaken the two chemicals mix together. These chemicals also activate a die of whatever colour the glowstick may be (pink, white, orange, green, red, etc.), causing the stick to "glow".
Are glowstick chemicals safe for skin contact?
Here is the process i am going to follow. http://www.ehow.com/how_2087434_make-a-glowstick.html Is it going to hurt me if i put it on my skin? -Thx As always, if you are concerned about the hazards asssociated with a chemical, your best source of information is to go straight to the material safety data sheet for that material. Here is a link to the MSDS for Cyalume light sticks. There are some OSHA regulated materials in the product but it indicates that dermal exposure is not a serious concern. http://www.brooksequipment.com/MSDS/237.htm I will point out to you that there is a thin-walled glass vial that holds the activator. I'd say that avoiding spreading small shards of broken glass on your skin is a safe plan.
What prank can you do?
Sleeping Pranks Where Is The Alarm? While your victim is asleep, reset their alarm clock so it goes off at 2am or 3am. But don't place it back on their nightstand. Instead hide it in a closet or behind the TV. The person waking up will be on an early morning hunt for where that annoying sound is coming from. For even more laughs, try unscrewing the light bulb and watch the person scramble around the room in total darkness. Wake Up, You're Late! Reset all the clocks in your house ahead two hours while your victim is sleeping. When he or she wakes up they will think they over slept and are two hours late for work or school. Going Bald Go to your local drug store and buy an inexpensive package of hair extensions that match the same color as your victim. While he or she is sleeping cut the hair extensions to about the same size as their hair length. When your victim awakes, watch in laughter as they think something happened to their hair while sleeping. Rude Awakening Adjust the settings on an alarm clock after your victim falls asleep. Change the alarm to play heavy metal music really loud when it goes off. Then tape the off button and sound control. Sunbathing And Not Paying Attention Hold a magnifying glass over someone who is sunbathing. Be prepared to run shortly after you do this. Bungi Cord Fasten Fasten someone to their bed with numerous bungi cords. Coat hanger between mattress and sheet Put coat hangers between the mattress and the sheet. Multi Alarm Clock Prank Get lots of cheap alarm clocks and set them to go off at 3:00am and every 20 minutes thereafter. Hide them well. Wet Toilet Paper Bury someone several feet deep in wet unrolled toilet paper. Dude! You're Glowing! Pour "cyalume" (the stuff in those glow sticks you see every Halloween) on someone then wake them and say, "Dude, you're glowing" and watch them panic. IM TIED UP TO THE BED! while the someone is asleep, like hard, then get string or large belts and either tie them TO the bed or tie them up IN bed, see the difference. well i have not tried this prank yet, but i will do it on friday because if my parents come 2 wake him up 4 school and he is tied up then that is a problem.
