Dyelite + UV Cathode = Awesome [vid]

G33k · Jan 12, 2003

Okay, I was bored and desperately trying to avoid writing an essay so I decided to illustrate just why DyeLite and UV Cold Cathode's are cool! Click on the image below to download the video I made (You'll need the DivX codecs) :

Pretty cool I think you'll agree

that was perrty cool, watching the hosing light up one at a time, i sorta thought that you would see if flow throught the system, but i didnot really see that, just one toob after the other light up. still it looks nice, just messey enoght to show you dont care about the mess.

Heh, thats pretty kewl. I take it you added in the DyeLite into the water lines after the whole thing had been used? So the DyeLite would be mixed in once it was started, i.e. go through the tubes and lite up like that?
That is pretty kew.

G33k · Jan 12, 2003

Yeah, I had the pump running and dumped a couple of drops into the water.

For your information, I do care about mess... it's just with so much water-cooling in there, I don't have a lot of choice!

NEATO! You've got like a lightsabre effect going on in there. Now, if you could only figure out a way to activate the dye-lite and deactivate it over and over again. Water tubes with pulsating light would be damn cool.

Nice vid, I like it when mine does that too, never thought of making a vid tho. That divx codec you linked to contains Gator, I wouldn't suggest anybody install that. You can get a gator-free version HERE.

peace.

Yeah, but you don't have to install it - thanks for the gator free link tho...

which uv dye did you use exactly? i have some kinda dark blue and its very lame, it might be cos im using silicone tubing though which isnt clear, what tubing are u using?

G33k · Jan 13, 2003

I use the clear/blue dyelite (looks clear when the UV is off and blue when it's on).

I use PVC tubing throughout.

Not sure what that means, but I'll take it as a completement

The_wiZ · Jan 13, 2003

I just think it looks like those old star trek movies.
flick a button and stuff "powers up".
All you need now is a big *** panel with lots of leds that flickers.

Interesting approach! How many UV lights are in your case to make the water glow nicely like that? Do you think one light would of been enough?

deviantbox · Jan 14, 2003

Really nice effect ....yeah. how many uv cathodes are in your case?

Woah!!! Had no clue about that one. I just ran ad-aware and had 39 Gator files. Jeez thanks alot G33k

BTW nice vid and cool effect.

G33k · Jan 14, 2003

Oops - my bad

There are two cathodes in the case. It looks fine with a single light, but two looks better. I really need a third though to make the reservoir in the top light up
