No real news yet.Did find some interesting info on soda pop.Its PH is about 3.0.I found some info on soap.Its PH is close to 11 and the ionic suspension I was hoping for may not work the way I thought it did and is of no further use to me here.The oils and greases get contained inside a sphere of negative charges.And these negative charges interact with water molecules to be washed away.




From a chemistry textbook I found a recipe for making orange pigment from sand(for putting on pottery).The sand is placed in water,soaked,and then the water is strained to produce a fine suspension.Its called white pottery slip(primer).I intend to use kitty litter instead of sand.

I found out something interesting.I found that gold plate on a drinking glass or ceramic cup will conduct electricity.I have a thrift store nearby that sells used coffee cups for ten cents apiece.Most of the time I go they have something there gold plated or gold flashed.triffid

Dollar tree sells everything inside it for a dollar apiece.I found HCL,NaOH,and Sodium hypochlorite solutions for one dollar apiece.Mostly in cleaning dept.These solutions are not 100 percent pure,but I think they are strong enough to do experiments with.It beats having to pay 30 dollars for this or that thing.Im soaking some ore in ethanol alcohol tonight.I expect the metal in the ore to leach into the alcohol after soaking for some time(like a month).triffid

I recently saw a show on public tv that show a shark fin and a rare earth metal electrode in saltwater generating about 1.1 volts.Of electrical energy.Samarium I believe is the name of the rare earth.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samarium.triffid

In its usual oxidized form, samarium is added to ceramics and glasses where it increases absorption of infrared light. As a (minor) part of mischmetal, samarium is found in "flint" ignition device of many lighters and torches.[8][9]
