does anyone have anything they are willing to trade for? just giving this thread a bump to see if anyone has extras. which im sure you all do....since i have extras of atleast 75% of my collection

what i did with my copper chloride is put it in a container and slowly let it evaporate and i had these large 2-3" beautiful crystals. i would give that a shot with all of them and if the crystals arent cool or something you want to keep just zip lock bag or other water tight containerthem and throw them away. the slower they evaperate the larger the crystals get

ok so in a cabon zinc battery there is a graphite anode and a zinc case as the cathode. in between these two you have a mixture of carbon and Manganese dioxide. so after harvesting the cathode and anode (i use the graphite rod for electrolysis) i have a bunch of left over carbon/Manganese dioxide mixture. so i was wonder if there is a way to seperate the two? i mainly would like the Manganese dioxide so if the process ruins the carbon in the mixture i dont care. I really dont have a need for the Manganese dioxide but i figured since i have it i might as well try to extract it and save it incase i do have a use for it in the future. any help would be great! thanks

ok so we breath in oxygen (well air) and exhale carbon dioxide. so where does the carbon come from needed to form CO2? and while we are on the subject do plants use the carbon from CO2 to build the plant material or is it used for something else?

they sell compressed oxygen at home depot in small bottles. also you can easily get the large tanks of oxy-gas cutting without any problem. but for this case i would use the small tanks from home depot since you wont need much gas

there has been some research into suboxone as an anti-depressant its main use is to opiate addiction but it doesnt cause the "high" that methadone can. suboxone can cause a high if your not addicted to opiates but if taken every day there isnt any euphoria here is a google search for the anti-depressant stuff with suboxone http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=suboxone+antidepressant&sourceid=navclient-ff&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS307US307&ie=UTF-8&aq=0&oq=suboxone+ant suboxone is actually the brand name and is not a "true" opiate its real name is Buprenorphine Buprenorphine is a semi-synthetic opiate with partial agonist actions at the mu opioid receptor and antagonist actions at other opioid receptors

i forgot about that one i believe it wasnt until 2003 that they figured that out. does anyone know the actual halflife of bismuth

NEVER MIND i figured it out

well i was wondering if Na or other alkali metals react with pure alcohol? so lets assume there is absolutely no water mixed with the alcohol i tried google but couldnt find anything

they use interstate commerce to extend their powers. they use it in gun regulation also but remember we give them this power and on we have the power to take it away

tome this seems like a plausable cause of some cancers, an element that decays into another inside a complex molecule like you said could have some interesting affects and since isotopes are intermixed with the stable element its very likely that some of them get formed into the proteins or other molecule inside your body, so depending on the halflife of the given isotope it could decay inide of you. well i dont know enough about health and the human body to know but it seems possible to me

yea i think a lot of it has to deal with being able to controle the heat. it would pretty much just melt everything close to it. but if some day we can harness fusion power our energy trouble will be a thing of the past, and i have faith that someday it will happen but not for a while and probably not in my lifetime

well i believe the "comfort zone" is between 66f and 72f or 19c-22c and remember that even though body temp is 98.6 the temp of our skin is lower mine usually reads in the mid 80s depending on what part. but internal organs do run at body temp.

well carbon electrodes are easy to get from the large 6v CARBON ZINC batteries, not the alkaline ones. ususally if it doesnt say what type it is its usually the cheaper carbon zinc type. you get 4 electrodes with wires attached that are about 4" long and the cost of the battery at walmart was only $2 thats 0.50 each

i like this part the best "i think science and Christianity have always been intertwined" does he mean the execution of scientists and astronomers(or anyone else for that matter) for disagreeing with the church as "intertwined"?

why not a pizoelectric sparker from a BBQ lighter or what i used was one of the long lighters used for BBQs i just mounted the entire thing since having the flame made it more reliable then just the spark. also i used drywal screws on all the joints plus PVC glue just to make sure it wouldnt come apart. also i put a couple screws at the very base of the barrel so when i pushed the spud down it would stop when it hit the screw. this worked great and i HIGHLY recommend doing this as far as the lighter goes i also found that mounting it on the rear cap that you remove to put the hairspray in (aqua net works great) that way when you spray your lighter or sparker isnt getting coated with hairspray. so the long BBQ lighter was directly inline with the barrrel, i just drilled a hole in the end cap and inserted the lighter in about 2 inches and put JB wld epoxy around it to hold it in place. we built LOTS of them and the stuff i discribed is the result of lots of trial and error. just be safe. also i made it so the barrel was just a slip fit in (no scres or PVC glue holding it on) so if there was too much pressure it would just blow the barrel off which would only go a few feet. this prevents the launcher from building up too much pressure and possibly rupturing if for some reason the potato was stuck in there too tight.

why is everyone here like this? instead of answering the question they just say "dont do it"

well some radioactive elements have half lives MUCH longer then 1 million years. Se-82 is said to have a halflife of 1.08x10-20 so that would be 108,000,000,000,000,000,000 Years!

i always heard about 6 milliamps directly to the heart can do it. but your skin has some resistance so it depends whats on your skin, where it enters and exits. there is no answer to this question but the main thing is stay away from high amp things. high voltage can carry more amps but low volts doesnt make it safe just make sure the electricity has a better path then you! electricity will always take the path of least resistance so just make sure thats not you

is this ALWAYS the case or do would they stay together in certain compounds? the tritium makes sence since He cant bond directly to oxygen. but if you had two different elements that were combatable would they stay together? or do they break apart and then possibly reform under the right situations?

you should use carbon electrodes. that way they wont react with your solution. when you use wires you get copper mixed in which will sometimes react with the chlorine and give copper chloride thats a greenish color in the solution

ok so radioactive elements decay into other stable or unstable isotopes and i under stand that and how it works. but how is this affected when its in a compound? lets use tritium for example which decays into He3. so if you reacted tritium with oxygen you create Tritiated water also known as super heavy water. similar to "heavy water" that has the H2 isotope in place of regular H. so you have T20(using T for tritium or H3). so the half life of tritium is 12.32 years as it decays into He3. So as it decays does the chemical bond stay intact? leaving you with He(3)2O? with helium being a noble gas this seem like it would cause some problems with the compound. Ok so what happens when a solid radioactive isotope decays into a liquid or gaseous isotope? so do the compounds stay intact or do they break apart into their respective elements? or what happens exactly?

im actually trying to make chlorine gas....well actually liquid chlorine

i have full respect for chlorine and thank you for your warnings. this will be done outside and the next setup will prevent the release (or at least decrease) the gas getting out at the reaction point. but will instead be ran through a tube that is chilled and will finnally end up at the test tube that is immersed in the alcohol dry ice mixture where some gas will inevitably be released into the air. but this is a lot safer then my previous attempt of transferring the gas from one container to the other which solely relied on the density of the gas to get it into the test tube. but the problem was the wind plus the gas was warm and there for slightly less dense. but in the new setup the cooled gas will be fed strait into the bottom of the chilled test tube where it will either condense into a liquid or overflow into the surrounding air. This also allows me to be further away from the point that the chlorine gas is released. I am also butting the test tube collector inside of a 5 gallon bucket which should contain some of the overflow chlorine gas over all with the resperator i belive this setup is much safer but i will abandon it if i feel it isnt safe at any time

calcium hypochlorate and HCL which will be chilled to a liquid putt in a vial with the top off and a coin or something similar on top so it only lets gas out but cant build up a pressure and once the liquid is gone i cap it and i have my chlorine sample for my element collection. i did it outside but i stoped when the wind blew the wrong direction. eyes didnt sting but i could taste it pretty bad so I am going to get the respirator before i attempt again i got a reply from 3M about which filter to use for chlorine gas. they said to use the "6002 acid gas" which fits my chosen mask ive done stuff with chlorine before but have not attempted to make it a liquid before so this is the first time its been this concentrated in the surrounding air. after this first round i got a couple better ideas on how to set my rig up. its still real ghetto but should work much better. I am useing alcohol and dry ice as a coolant but if they doesnt work after a couple tries i will get some liquid nitrogen (my best friends dad is a Dr. and said he can give me some)
