I like this .GIF : Ok, I think this is enought pictures... Time to let my older son play Minecraft on it.

Pictures : 19 December 22 in Canada

Pictures : moving out The plan is to go outside with the build to see if I can take good pictures near the forest. Before that, I took those last shots: Then, the Cooler Master MasterFan 200mm ARGB : I modified a 16mm tube to connect with the fountain pipe inside the globe. This way, I can use Hope Lantern's pumps to remove the liquids in the globe: Time to go outside: Battery power bank, water and kit for photos, I have everything : I like those trees : Time to fill it with water only. I will not use oil for this session because I am nervous about the extra weight and it needs 3 more step to empty it. 2x speed filling video : 2x speed running test video : Now, let see if I can take few good shots.

Few more? Plus à suivre...

This is an impressive photo shoot setup and the pictures are really good. Excellent work on that mod!

Pictures : 12" led ring on And the vase light up : Then, no color saturation :

Pictures : underglobe It needs small hands to go there: Harrison Radiators :

Few more in turquoise : I love the water bubbles fountain effect in that oil:

Pictures : PC on Waterblocks LEDs : turquoise This really tricky to take good pictures without reflections.

Pictures : PC off

Pictures : top section and PC off GPU block side, lit with a 6" LED ring from left at ~ 2m: Same with mobo side: Mobo again, lit from behind: And then, lit from top: GPU side, lit from the bottom white LED ring on the base:

Keep out of reach of children! Glass is fragile, we all know that... except young kids. My boys are 2, 4, 6 and 8 years old... I think this build will stay in the garage for now. The vase itself is pretty thick and his shape make it hard to brake, but the globe looks extremely fragile. Just ear the sound to understand : I dont know exacly the thickness of the globe at the larger section, but the finger nails tap sound alone says a lot! I can't imagine the potential mess of all this liquids if that thing get broken...

Understanding solubility vs emulsion Is water and oil can mix? Yes! Water is slightly soluble in oil depending of temperture. I made few search on Google and I found this graph: What is interresting here, is this information : between 20°c and 40°c the solubility of water in oil is ~50ppm to ~125ppm. That explain my observations during and after the stress tests * : over 25°c, there's almost no water emulsion (in oil) and the oil is really clear. When the water is in solubility state, it do not affect the oil optical properties. I made this video when liquids was around 30°C: But, when the temperture comme back down, all this previously soluble water become emulsion (small water bubble) and they are visible. Foggy oil is the result: Of course, the oil come back clear as before once temp rise up. It can also become clear at low temp by leting it sit for several days. This way, the water emulsions goes down by gravity. * For the stress test, I let the PC run half day on full load, pumps and 230mm fan at minimum, MasterFan at max. Max 15°c delta T room/water (around 16°c in the garage). No overclock. No issue. It's a pass. PS: Curious to see how I clean inside the globe? Here's the video :

Ice I was planing to add few liters water. Before, why not test with ice? Then, I made one ice rack with demineralized water (~400ml) and plutch... in the globe! I made this 8X speed video with white LED from the base + small white LED on top: I really like it!

Hope Lantern's : (un)mixed liquids Two short cellphone videos of the liquids before lasts toutch up on few aesthetic details: I can't wait to start the final photo shoot next week-end!
