In my previous video, I used a banana in an attempt to detect UVC. I did see a result but only with a strong light resting right on the banana.

Was it UVC or heat that discolored the banana? In this video, I try to separate the heat and UVC. Can something as common as a banana really be used to test for UVC radiation?

If nothing else, I do share a recipe for a yummy and simple banana dessert for barbeque nights :o)

Bananas can detect invisible light?!?

Thanks to Brilliant for supporting my channel with the sponsorship. Use this link https://www.brilliant.org/Brainiac75 for 20% off on the premium subscription and help me out at the same time. In this video, I will test if something as common as a banana can be used to detect invisible UVC light. Will it react to UVC only or does UVA and heat from a lamp have an effect too? And can you get sunscreen that protects against UVC? As a bonus, I also share a nice recipe for a barbeque banana dessert :) My Patreon-page: https://www.patreon.com/Brainiac75 Video including suncreen, initial test of the banana and spectrum of sunlight: https://youtu.be/EXBAdajRuYw Video on odd hybrid UVC lamp: https://youtu.be/bb4t1F88mHs Did you miss one of my videos?: https://www.youtube.com/user/brainiac75/videos FULL MUSIC CREDITS Time code: 0:01 "Darkness is Coming" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) ISRC: USUAN1100584 Intro part looped by me.
