    Very cool video, everything seems simpe but where can one obtain conductive glass with indium tin oxide coating?

    This is so cool! This guy is smart. I like new ideas/free thinking. We will soon be able to make solar cell siding to go on our homes for cheap.

    Dupont in New …
    Dupont in New johnsonville Tn. make titanium dioxide by the ton, You could talk them out of the stuff that spills all over the ware house floor and the floors of the delivery trailers as the supersacks they use leak badly.Hell the stuff is all over the place around there.

    So long as there is Titanium dioxide listed in the ingredients this method should work to some degree.

    We havent tried just regular powdered sugar though, seems likely it would work.

    like the stuff in the box not the donut

    Yeah, we generally get TiO2 on its own. The point of this video was to show that you can get the materials you need from every day items. That’s all.

    Wow a funny intelligent video that is fairly understandable. Great job!

    That is nice, but …
    That is nice, but there is a point:

    If they are incorporating TiO2 in Donuts, and we buy donuts, so we are actually paying for the added value of TiO2 in donuts, too.
    So why can’t we just by TiO2 from a chemical company and do the same thing you did in the video with that with no pain of heating and ashing it??
    That be would definitely cheaper and more efficient. Why from donuts?? Just to make it more attractive or what?

    I enjoyed it though.

    Great vid! Thanks!

    I’m excited about it. Now that the means is available to everyone, people not directly involved in the field of solar energy can help improve it. Having this out there to the general public means that any one of us around the world could make that one discovery that revolutionizes solar technology and changes the world. Most of our greatest discoveries were, after all, mistakes. :-)

    Oh man, what a laugh! By the way this insanely funny video is really serious stuff. Many thanks! =) Now off to the Starbuck’s =D

    You can find TiO2 …
    You can find TiO2 in sunscreen lotion too! 3,6% that is in my ombrelle 45…

    You guys deserve an award, this is pure genious :)

    Stone cold, DIY …
    Stone cold, DIY homebrew, ghettolicious hack-a-zoid! What a scream.

    I especially appreciate the science behind the process.

    May I humbly suggest a sequel done after a trip to the art store to purchase a tube of white paint. The ROI would be considerably better.

    THEN you can put the thingie on a meter and show us the juice. I want numbers. Data, more data…

    Unbelievable .. …
    Unbelievable .. that TiO2 is in the donuts… I thought it was poisonous…wait a minute.. o that was the not oxidized kind.. Ti. that is. Still a bit strange to have it in there ( I always thought there was only organic stuff used like sugar powder).

    But really.. science at its best..! Keep it up!

    wtf…

    mikro/ …
    wtf…

    mikro/piko ampere??
    tell me what that crap amount of current gonna do?

    bottom line is,the normal solar cell are 1000000 times effective than this
    this is kids experiment…the same as using fruit to produce electric
