I am subbed to you

I’m in San Diego using your recipe with Seventh Generation dish soap, j-lube & baking power though I increased the baking powder another tablespoon to 4. On the beach when the winds were about 3-5 mph, the bubbles went often about 1/2 to 3/4 mile before bursting!!! Very impressive! I’m trying to determine the perfect amount of wind… seems anything above 8kts is too much!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I feel like people must have so much fun hanging out with you in real life.

Your yard is awesome, love when the bubbles break and fade away.

tried the first recipe it worked pretty well tried the guar gum recipe it was ok but seemed to work better when I mixed the two batches. just made the original recipe and added two teaspoons of guar gum a little more (2 oz) of soap and tripled the baking powder..... it's 10:43 pm trying not to go outside and see how it works. either way this was a blast.

dude, this is so inspiring. you have a beautiful creative mind. GENIUS!

That place looks so peacefull...

If only everyone spent their time being creative and making beautiful things like this instead of using time, effort, and resources for war... The world would be so much better.

Thank you for all the projects....as a school teacher my students will love to see this one and others as well.

There is something about watching bubbles that makes me happy and relaxed, thanks!

Those are massively HEAPING spoonfuls. You should write up your final recipe using level spoonfuls so its accurate every time.

Beautiful! They even seem to be more shiny and colorful than before. Or maybe it's just the sunlight. Either way, great video.

HERE AGAIN BECAUSE I ❤️ LOVE ❤️ it!!! 🔥💕

Those are some awesome bubbles

Just in time for summer.

How many ounces of Dawn ? Can't find recipe

Somebody liked their heaping table spoons! Haha! Great video.

Thanks for this man! Just had a blast with the kids!

Great video again, NightHawkInLight.

Muito incrível o efeito que fica.

Wow amazing

You never disappoint... Great videos

About how many ounces of Dawn did you use?

hello how are you can you tell me which use j- lube and Guar gum and which shop I buy this please

I found that if you sift the guar gum with a wire strainer into the dish soap a little at a time while stirring it, it will mix in much better and much faster than if you just dump it all in at once.

That's sooooo cool but i don't know the name in dutch for that powder... Yeah you have a fan in Holland! Bye from Sonnia

I love your channel. Oh and you should try adding glow stick liquid to your bubble mix and do it at night. Or even add some florescent ink to them and set up a black light.

I added some glow stick solution to my bubble juice. The bucket of juice was definitely glowing, but I think the bubble walls are too thin to see any of the glow. They were just normal bubbles. (And, yes, I did do this at night.) If anyone has better results, please comment :)

Thank you. From Thailand.

Very cool. Great video!

I don't know if it was the music or watching the giant bubbles but I just got hypnotized..

I made this 3 years ago and it works the older the better so you can make it a munth ahead .

Looks like fun!

how about adding a fan on the ground, to keep bubles in air for more time ? :D

Really beautiful video. The colours of the balloons are amazing. Thanks to the crazy Russian channel for pointing me in your direction.

When stating quantities, it would be very helpful if you could mention them in metric as well as most of the world uses metric ;-) You mention a bottle of dishwashing liquid - I'm not sure what this size would be? Many thanks for your wonderful and useful videos! :-) From New Zealand

Hello. Create a list of ingredients please. place it under the video. Thank you! :)

Thanks Champion I am now using this mix in my shows an its perfect!!

Have you ever thought about making a corn hole board with the upcoming summer ? Also great video!

You said to add fool bottle of the soap, but what size bottle was it?

Hi, have been creating giant bubbles for a couple of years. Love them! Recently had a major set back - first failure!!! We have had a heat wave in UK, with temperatures up to 30C/86F. Some big (not giant) bubbles formed on the strings, then instantly popped. I use Fairy Platinum liquid, J-Lube, baking powder & water (no dragon spit!). PLEASE ADVISE. Thanks.

you give reason to my dismal graveyard shift. thank you!

Night hawk how far does your air soft gun shoot?

What kind of tablespoons are those? So i should double whatever you said ?

Just did this today with my girls and they loved it. We used nearly all of the solution. I even made a smaller bubble wand with smaller sticks and less string for the smaller one.

I wonder if these huge bubbles would freeze in winter. I froze some small bubbles last winter. It was interesting to watch them freeze. These huge bubbles would be fantastic! There are some cool photos on the internet of frozen bubbles done by professional photographers.

You are the coolest guy on youtube!

I have everything I need now to try the giant bubbles! I was wondering about your measurements. You state you use 1 tablespoon of guar gum and 3 tablespoons of baking powder, but in the video you make your tablespoons very heaping. Do you recommend using true tablespoon measurements or heaping tablespoons like you use in the video?

supp with guar gum powder

NightHawkInLight Your reasoning for the baking powder doesn't make sense to me though. Baking soda is alkaline and baking powder is a combination of baking soda and some dry acid (usually cream of tartar). If you were trying to counteract the alkalinity of the dish detergent shouldn't you be adding just a straight acid like vinegar or cream of tartar?

@Nighthawkinlight

Nick Horvath Baking powder has an excess of acid even though it also does contain baking soda. Cream of tartar may work also.

@edwardspiegel

NightHawkInLight this article might be of interest: soapbubble.wikia.com/wiki/PH_Adjusters_and_Water_Conditioners baking soda will make a difference but does not provide as much of a benefit as baking powder (for the reasons that NightHawkInLight mentioned). Citric acid and tartaric acid will also work BUT you need to be extra careful not to add too much. If the pH falls below about 7.0 with Dawn-like detergents, the bubble juice does not work well. A pH of about 7.4-7.6 is the target though there is some wiggle room. baking powder has the benefit of being virtually impossible to over-use -- whereas with citric acid the difference between great bubble juice and juice that doesn't work is a small one.

*@NightHawkInLight* Maybe you can add some kind of heating just in front of the bubble-ropes, so the air in the bubbles are slightly hotter & makes them rise up, instead of popping on a grass straw. Maybe like a thin copper coil that's short-circuit to a battery? ( *But first* research any explosion risks by short-circuiting the battery type you will be using ).

Amazing video keep up those great projects and have a great day :D

Thanks

I need some help with a school project. We have to design a catapult to launch and cotton ball as far as possible. We basically get Popsicle sticks, a spoon and some rubber band. Any help is appreciated. (P.S. Great job on the video I'm going to have to try this)

Could you please do giant bubbles off of the top of someplace very high? Like a rooftop... Or a skyscraper? Just a thought

So, I'm going to try this, but after seeing how you measured your "tablespoons" in the video I'm going to assume I should actually use 2x of all the dry ingredients called for in the recipe.

So what's your opinion? Do you like the J-Lube recipe or the Guar Gum better? Videos alone can't really tell us as we don't know what the humidity was between the two. Since I'm writing you, thank you so much for your first tutorial, since watching it I've been obsessed.
