Alternative Peroxide for Glow Sticks

Patreon Preview - Nuclear Battery
Here is a preview of an upcoming video. I'll likely post this at the end of the month.
As usual, let me know what you think and if there are any suggestions.
I think my explanation of why the solar cells were diferent at 18:15 is very boring and i'd like to remove it. But if you guys think it's worth keeping despite how dry it is then let me know.

Now i still have to insert reaction diagrams and molecular diagrams so this is just a rough cut of yet another failure. So keep that in mind for your review.
Anything i should add or take out? Any suggestions for a better title?
And finally: should this be posted? Of the several total failures i had the past few weeks this was the only one that actually had something visually appealing (the working glowing reaction at the end). To me it just barely makes the cut for a video. L...

Dissolve Platinum With Chlorine Gas
Thanks again for your patronage in making videos like this possible.
Outta curiosity, would you like me to dissolve gold with chlorine gas?

Rough cut of my latest video. Unlike my last 4 videos this WILL be charged to patreon so no more free lunches! :) hehehehe j/k.
Anyway let me know what you think, if there are any changes/updates you would like.
And let me know which title you would like the best:
"Dissolving Platinum Without Nitric Acid Using Chlorine"
"Dissolving Platinum Without Nitric Acid"
"Dissolving Platinum Using Chlorine"
Redoing/Remaster two videos on nitrates
Two of my videos were demonetized and age-restricted. But rather than fighting it I thought i'd just remaster them from archived video. Youtube should be more lenient on these ones now that they're cleaned up with proper warnings and such. Don't worry these videos will NOT be charged to patreon since it's just a remastering. But i'd like your review anyway if you'd like to see any fixes or improvements. It's not everyday we get to go back to old content and make it better. Here they are:

2016-10-04 02:07:01 +0000 UTC View Postpatreon preview - Fail? - Flowers absorbing fluorescent dye?
Rough cut of something i always wanted to do, timelapse the absorbtion of fluorescent dyes into flowers. Problem is, the flies came back in swarms attracted by the UV light. Should i post this? or do it all over again in February when there are hopefully no flies?
On a deeper question. Is this even worth posting? I like showing a bit of art in science, but it might be too much of departure from my usual content of synthetic chemistry.
Let me know what you think. Post anyway despite...

Patreon Preview - Vlog about social media and costs of failure
Be honest with me: Am I whining too much?
I sit back and watch this video and all i can think is "God. Shut up already! Suck it up and stop whining!"
Then again I already know these costs so hearing it again sounds like whining. To someone who hasn't heard it before do i still sound like i'm whining like a kid who isn't getting his candy?

So this video i'm planning to release on friday or saturday. Any suggestions on some royalty-free music i can put in the silent part where i'm just lighting matches non-stop?
Additionally, are you all cool with me putting in ads in the videos to generate extra revenue like I did in this video?
Now i'm always going to want more money to pay for this excessively costly hobby. But i value your opinions much more. After all, ad sponsors come and go, but you all are here with me much longer, ...

Preview video - Smash glow crystals in a blender
As usual, let me know what you think and any suggestions. Do you think I should keep the second run with the smaller crystals? or get rid of that and just focus on the main run with the big crystals?
Thanks.
P.S. Was the final result worth it?

Hey everyone!
As greater and greater demands on my time and funds continue i find i'm unable to keep up with the existing rewards. So i've removed a lot of them. Now i know this is completely unfair especially if you already donated that amount so if you'd like, i can issue a refund for any amount up to whatever your accumulated donation is, even back to last year. Just message me or let me know here in the comments.
I hate it when people bait and switch anyone into donating.

Please review! Let me know your thoughts on this video
Hello patrons! I'd like to know your thoughts on this test video and if there are any edits or changes that should be made. Also tell me if you think it's worthwhile to upload or if you'd rather your patron funds be spent elsewhere. I'll defer to your judgement.
On a different note, i'm working on step 3 of making pyrimethamine, it's taking awhile and I hope to have it up before the end of the month.
