  1. Ive never seen at atom, and I dont believe you can see one no matter what you got. I believe computers can be miniaturized 10000000000 and MORE below a nanometre. I've got different thinkings.
  2. I think this one sets to a cement too, but I dont know. But with calcium its probably better, but either way I dont know how firm it sets, but with that citric acid there, it may increase setting power for the cement.
  3. But its strange its either the non metal swaps or the metal swaps, and then it satisfy the end result, but out of the two you dont know. But I think maybe you can tell, if one is cemented, and then your putting solution on the cement, and then u can see if its the metal or the non metal swapping for what the cement ends up being. So if I were epsom salt solidified, and in sodium carbonate solution, then if the nonmetal swapped id get magnesium carbonate cement. If i were sodium carbon solidified, and epsom salt soltion, then id get magnesium carbonate cement if it were the metal swapping. But maybe its a bit of both, I dont know, but from what I experienced, it was the metal swapping, but I could be wrong.
  4. I don't think looking at the molecular structure helps me at all, I'd rather just see the liquids and solids coming together, like I'm cooking instead, this is all quite meaningless to me, I guess if you have more of an education, then it might click a little more when you see it. But It doesnt help me at all.
  5. I'm looking to make a very hard material, to do building with. But the problem is, I think I may be making a huge fire hazard. So if I get iron powder, and I mix it with so much decomposed oil (very crude), and then I dry it further on the stove on high heat to make a hard brick, I'm thinking its actually extremely tough stuff, as strong as bitumen. But, Does this act like highly flammable thermite? I may be making thermite by mistake, Cody on the internet has a plaster and aluminium thermite video, and this seems similar, So I'm actually making a big mistake possibly, Anyone can help me with this one? So once thats cleared up, and I can probably do the test myself. Ive got another experiment involving this. I put fine iron wool in glycerine, and then the glycerine is supposed to go brown. I then put this in a small pot of hot oil, and I mix it in a little, and the iron is supposed to transfer to the oil. Then I get the glycerine out and push the reaction along a bit, by adding so much calcium hydroxide a bit at a time and stirring it, and it is a removable solid precipitate. This is supposed to transfer the iron to the oil. And its kinda like the iron glued together by the oil, except on the atomic scale. So this could set together really well if I continue to decompose the oil to a plastic. But the problem is, am I making plastic explosive possibly, I dont know, so I was wonder if anyone could bring up anything about this issue, So I'm actually trying to make something like ABS, a "metallic plasticate", but maybe metallic plasticates are highly flammable, and I dont know. So, I'm just trying to make some strong tar, but now the fire hazard warning question has come up, especially on seeing Cody's lab, with the plaster and aluminium powder thermite. So I should do it, and test it myself, but I was wondering if someone could help me with some information.
