Get an antenna, and also a digital cable converter, and wire it all up so you can watch the news while sitting outside on a couch.

I'm gonna hijack this thread and ask a different question.

Does anyone know where to find the composition of CRT phosphors?
Of interest to me is P31 and P22B.
I know that P22B is zinc sulfide doped with silver, and P31 is zinc sulfide doped with copper, but I can't find any info on what ratio of ZnS to Au or Cu to use.

You build these by adding a second set of coils from a larger TV.

See notes 25 and 26 for some better info about the mixes.
You might have to delve into patents to get an exact mix for a specific brand/model.

I should have known to look closer at the notes.
Thanks!
Note 25, the Phosphor Handbook, seems to have all the info I need.
At a quick glance, it looks like I need about 0.01% to 0.005% copper by weight for P31.
That seems to agree with the vague statement of "A few PPM" on wikipedia.

Next stop: Finding ZnS, Copper, and Silver powder at a price lower than just buying P31 from Sigma-Aldrich.
The ZnS is cheap enough, but the silver powder looks like it's a bit pricey.

Is pic related what you're planning to accomplish?
Awesome.
If you start making (more?) progress it's a thread I'd pin.
All forms of luminescence are absolutely fascinating to me...
Of all the things to ponder, on another thread (in /trash/) a few anons and I are trying to figure out why someone's glow-in-the-dark 'silicone sculpture' starts glowing when it's stretched.
Triboluminescence or similar probably, but there's almost no info on that.
>silver powder

1) ask DIY how to make trebuchet.
2) filter through random shitposting
3) build said device.
4) place babby TV into trebuchet sling
5) launch that little bitch into low orbit
6) accidentally hit white house
7) secret service shit bricks
8) trump thinks china has declared new trade war of babby TVs
9) become famous for starting WWlll
10) PROFIT!

The way we recycle those in Illinois is by putting them in multiple contractor bags and then smashing it with a sledge hammer.

Yup. First I'll try to make a vector screen and run Tempest on it, then later I'll try to make a black and white TV.
>There must be some way to precipitate silver...
I know a few methods, but chemistry isn't my strong suit. I'm a CpE/EE by education.

>trying to figure out why someone's glow-in-the-dark 'silicone sculpture' starts glowing when it's stretched.
>/trash/
>"""silicone sculpture"""
Yea, sure
Once again, chemistry isn't my strong suit.
Could be triboelectric effects exciting the phosphors, silicone extremely negative on the triboelectric series.
