Developing film with pee!

Thought developing it with coffee, wine or painkillers is cool? That's mainstream!
Pee seems to have also enough reducing power to develope film!
Simply mix your pee with soda (sodium carbonate) and a little ascorbic acid and you can develop easy films like APX100

Here'a an album on Flickr (not from me, APX100@ISO80, 50min):

If you pee in your EOS 500 you'll get a polaroid.

I wonder if ascorbic acid and soda alone are also giving the same results and the urine is only a placebo. I don't know any reducing agent in urine except sugars, which are only in usable amounts in the urine when you are suffering from diabetes

Then one could develop films with some sports drink?

Yes if they contain glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose or lactose it should work theoretically (with correct temperature and alkaline pH).
These sugars can be even also used to make mirrors from Ag-solutions
Under harsh conditions (pH, temperature) you can even use household sugar to reduce silver salts to silver

Yes they are all acidic and as long as they are acidic they won't work. As with coffe you would have to add some soda etc. to get an alkaline pH first.

Developing film with psilocin solution (aka magic mushroom soup) might also work Very Happy

you can buy clear (NH2)2CO aka Urea isntead of using your pee;) btw there are many natural chemicals which can be used to develop a film. I´ve seen pretty good results made with developer from this plant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atropa_belladonna

Oh nice, a pretty extreme drug. Do you have any links for development with belladonna?

Is urea really able to develop film? Sure? I thought more about uric acid if not ascorbic acid + soda alone. Urea would easily availble everywhere, for example in many skin creams and instant cooling packs.

Urinol?

a piss-poor developer!

well I don´t think belladonna is a drug, rather poison:) I´ve seen that on one czech darkroom forum but can´t find link anymore:(

with urea - maybe you´re right, uric acid sounds better. but I´m not much a chemist:) anyway, as you mentioned coffee:

http://caffenol.blogspot.cz/

sounds better for me, because in pee you cannot control the amount of chemicals - depends on what you drink and how long is party:)
