nice, that's a lot of usefull advice. One more question, what's the dextrin for?

Good point, I was planning on building a small rocket this summer (how about that for a next experiment ) and I'm kinda doing the 'theoretical' part right know because I don't have that much time left untill my exams start. I wanted to use it as fuel for my rocket because I need something that's easy to lay my hands on, that will last a few seconds and give of enough energy to get my rocket of the ground without blowing it to pieces.. As I said before, I live close to a scrap/recycling park and I'm planning on getting as much basic material as I can there. Any idea's?

Ok, I'll keep with the KCLO3 and sugar mix and see how that works out.

Thanks, I'll definitely won't try mixing KCLO3 and H2SO4

So it's related to graphite (if spelled correctly) and diamond, but it just has a different molecular structure? Does any of you guys know something usefull about the KCLO3+sugar thing I posted under catalysation reactions?

Hehe, nice one..

Ok, I'll try to figure it out myself

The stage in which your liquid gets more viscous. It won't look like water anymore but like oil.

Can anybody help me here?

Thanks a lot, know I finally found a cheap and easy way to get H2SO4..

Music has always been a part of mankind's society and it certainly affects our mood and other senses. It can be used for several purposes, it just depends on what you want to do or use it for. The greeks used to bring fluteplayers along with their military because the music would encourage their soldiers and pump them full of adrenaline. The sjamans in certain tribes use music to get in an altered state of mind in which they can communicate with their gods.. All this just to point out that the influence of music on the brain is not to be underestimated...

Thanks a lot. I'll definitely try your advice if it's not too late already. Anway if it doesn't work out I'm going to try again next year and get some decent stuff to work with.

So then why is it that extacy-induced brain damage will heal faster by males and slower or even not at all by females? Even after having used extacy only onces? I know that extacy will release massive amounts of serotonine and dopamine and prozac will prevent their reuptake, but isn't that contradictory? And what does actually damage the brain?

Just think of the bacteria 'living' on your skin that make sure that the pH of your skin is around 5 and kept stable so that your skin is too acid for other micro-organisms to grow on it. If you wash yourself too much and kill those bacteria you'll be fucked over way worse by other bacteria and fungi Not all things living on us are bad..

I am growing a species related to cannabis sativa, it's an altered species, not the geneticly engineerd kind they grow to produce THC. Mine almost doesn't produce any THC (that's why I have permission to grow it). I've been growing it inside behind a window that gets direct sunlight almost the entire day. I originally planted it in a soil-mixture for young plants and then transferred it to soil. I'll try to translate exactly what it said: 'soil for slow-growing flowerplants'. Don't know if you can make up anything about that, but my guess was that it might have been pretreated with certain planthormones. I used an ordinary fertilizer with this combination: N(7)-P(5)-K(5) I hope all of this is usefull, let me know if you figure out anything

Could you use old car batteries too? And won't it be spoiled with impurities? Since I live close to a recycling park where I can get old car batteries, but I have a hard time finding H2SO4 elsewhere.

I've heard from several sources that KCLO3 mixed with powdersugar burns very intense when lit (they used it as a fuel to make small rockets). I was referring to this process, because I thought that the sugar would catalyse the reaction. This is indeed not the way things go so I was wondering if it's possibily that the sugar is only needed to produce the neccesary heat for the KCLO3 to decompose and form O2+KCL which in their turn will speed up the burning (because of the release of O2) and so create a chainreaction?

Hi, During my courses I recently performed a labtest in which this reaction occured after heating. There was MnO2 present too (to speed up the reaction) 2KCLO3 -> 3O2+2KCL Now I heard that you can use (powder)sugar in stead of MNO2 as a katalysator. Can anybody explain me why or how sugar will speed up this reaction?

Hi, I'm growing a monocotyl with a life cycle of only one year, because I have to collect all sorts of different plants (leaves+flowers) over a two year period for a college-assignement. I've been growing it for two months now, after the first month I placed it in a bigger pot that had a different kind of soil in it. Eversince it has gone wrong. The plant virtually stopped growing and is in an worse condition now then a month ago. I've checked almost every possible cause.. Where I live it also grow's in the wild but is very rare (that's why I am growing it myself) so I've been growing it in the same conditions as it's natural habitat (light,water,temperature). This points out that there's something 'wrong' with the soil. The quantity of soil is big enough for it's roots to expand. After a month and a half I added some fertilizer, but this didn't do the job. I think it has something to do with the pH of the soil,the leaves are turning brown (starting with the ends and edges) and die (to acid?), the strange thing is that the young leaves die before the old ones. This has nothing to do with a lack of water since I've tried adding more without any positive result. Does anybody knows what's wrong and how I can change it before it's too late?

Hey skye, are you sure about Lepiota, since they look a lot to me like amanita panterina, mainly because of the brown hat with the 'dots'. This is also typiccaly for amanita panterina Could you give me some more information and tell me if I'm wrong? If it really is a. panterina you should definitely not eat them, because they are quite poisonous..

I think it's the bubbles too, since flat coke does not have the typpical 'sting' normal coke has. I go for a mechanical reason: I used to have a fishtank with bubbles coming out of the bottom, occasionally they would attach themselves to little 'rocks' (the kind you put in your tank to make sure the waterplants can root) and lift them up, they didn't push them up but they really lifted them up like a balloon can carry a basket. This force the bubbles put on the substrate they are formed on combined with the force produced by the local pressuredifferences created by the forming bubbles can pull or press on your tongue-cells and agitate them. Maybe this is what causes the 'sting'.
