Insane

Mercury, for obvious reasons. I'm surprised no mentioned oxygen...

How about that element from Spider-man 2? I forget the name, someone refresh my memory. It looked pretty damn cool though. Edit: Was it 'Tritium'? Isn't Tritium H3?

For PSU: You have to ground the two main power deliverance wires that plug into the mobo (they are in the biggest terminal), or the PSU will not turn on. Also, I was just preforming electro on a salt-water solution. I used a 12vDC, one amp wall outlet adapter and GRAPHITE electrodes (from an HB pencil) and it's already disintegrating. Perhaps it's not pure graphite?

I used to crack my jaw by contracting certain muscles in my jaw. It was extremely addictive and I couldn't stop for a while!

Actually, it wears quite quickly. After 72 hours, it will be severely worn, especially at those watts.

Uhggggg... I am ALWAYS the youngest on every forum I've been on (since age 11). 13/m/canada

Graphite will slowly disintegrate in the way you're using it.

Seen the Matrix, and Star Wars, as you said, is no where NEAR scientifically correct. I saw the Philadephia experiment just now. It sucked.

Recently I've watched some very cool movies which involve science, physics, etc. I was wondering if anyone knows of any cool and scientifically correct movies that I could watch, I enjoy them very much. If you're still confused, an example is 'The Manhattan Project'. Please do not mention the movie 'Hackers' or any sequels.

It was quite easy: Simple program I cooked up.

Is it 5429112345? ***** = 99945

Haha, that would make an excellent stop smoking ad. "Scientists confirm that not only smoking, but lighting cigarettes poses a health risk. Any diethyl ether or combustable vapors you may have on you may combust upon lighting. This may result in the loss of eyebrows, hair, facial hair, virginity etc..."

If anyone wants to PayPal me a couple of bucks... sir_gothem@hotmail.com *ahem*

I think humor is one of the highest forms of intelligence (I don't mean humor caused by physical means, ex. tickling) I find the pig story very interesting (and cute). If the pig was indeed laughing... hahaha, a laughing pig.

How about chip about 1/5th the size of a dime, just so you can see it, but it's not a hazard. It would work pretty quick, huh? This would be a pretty good sample, I want to start collecting elements, and I was just wondering how dangerous/stupid/practical this is. Plutonium releases radioactive vapors when in a humid environment right? Would it have to be kept in a freezer of some sort?

For HV, couldn't you use a fluorescent lamp driver? It's $3 and uses a 5vdc power suppy, it pumps out 5kV. Do you need amperage? If not this is perfect: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G12866 http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=INV-7&type=store http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=INV-9&type=store Good Luck!

Since Plutonium is heavier than Uranium, (U238, Pu239) I would have to separate them using a centrifuge. What are the chances, or how long would it take for a pile of uranium dust (bigger surface area, the better, right?) into Pu239, assuming this pile is no more than a couple of grams. (use 3 grams if you're doing mathematical calculations) I'm aware of Hahn, my ideas branched off of his, and I changed em up a little.

For a long time, I've had this idea in my head, but never really got around to verifying whether it would work or not. If this works, it would be a perfect way to create Plutonium for you element collectors out there. Unless you're scared (or smart ) You would need: Americium or Radium (Legality Questionable) U238 (Legal) Beryllium (Legal) Borated Parrafin (Legal) Lead (Legal) Let's say you had a 1'x1' lead block and you drilled 2 holes 3"x3" right next to each other, and you drilled a small drillbit-sized hole connecting the two holes. You put Americium or Radium in Hole #1, along with beryllium coated in borated parrafin, line the lead with aluminum foil. This would generate lots and lots of neutrons. In hole #2, you would put a block of u238. The lead block would then have another block of lead stacked on top of it to seal it up. In theory, the Americium or Radium emit Alpha rays, when these rays come in contact with the Beryllium, it emits neutrons, and since it is coated with Borated Parrafin, the neutrons are slowed down, and flow through the hole connecting to Chamber #2, when these neutrons strike the U238, it decays at a very fast rate, into Neptunium (im unsure of the isotope), then P239. Would this 'transform' or 'decay' the Uranium block into Plutonium? Also, what happens to lead when its is struck with neutrons? My science may not be totally accurate, but I've done lots of reading online so I hope I'm somewhat understandable. Heh, believe it or not, 8th grade science doesn't exactly include nuclear radiation. Stupid school system...
