Ag8n "A big problem with this type of instrument isn't the concept. That's not too hard. It's getting the reaction to go at a decent rate. Not too fas..." | Read more » over 2 years ago

Ag8n "If a source like the sun or an incandescent lamp is used, then maybe using a photographic bg20 filter as a standard would do. The spectrum they a..." | Read more » almost 3 years ago

Ag8n "I hate autocorrect. It's pyrolyzing, but autocorrect thought was an error and made it paralyzing. Sorry. " | Read more » about 3 years ago
Ag8n "Just to give an idea of what's going on, you're paralyzing a bit of the stopper. Then burning it to see the flame and flame color. It's very simi..." | Read more » about 3 years ago
