Gilded Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 That oxygen stream sounds like fun. YT, with NIB you mean Neodymium Iron Boron? Because that's what NdFeB means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Now that were talking about graphite, anyone know where to get pyrolytic graphite? You can make it levitate with four square shaped N40 NdFeB-magnets. You can make small neodymium magnets levitate on bismuth too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 there are many good ways to produce oxygen. try decomposing hydrogen peroxide, sodium chlorate, potassium nitrate, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsatan Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 How do you decompose Kno3? I've got some of that some where, from my sugar rocket days. Cheap as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsatan Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 lol. Yeah you're dead right, I dont know why I didnt think about it, I mean thats why its burns so well with sugar, Duh'. (well its the sugar burning, thats just helping) Brain glitch. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 graphite rods are noramlly best' date=' pencil is one way of doing it, but proper graphite rods 1 or 2cm in diameter are best [for water anyway'] as it can vary with the substance. If you plan on doing this for any amount of time you really need some platinum wire. The surface area of the electrode also makes a BIG difference.

5614 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 why platinum wires, i thought [for water anyway] that graphite was best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 why platinum wires, i thought [for water anyway'] that graphite was best. That's what I thought too... But when I was trying to make tons of Potassium Hydroxide I left it on overnight one of the electrodes completely reacted... I'm not sure why platinum but I have read that it’s completely inert in electrolysis and I know they use them in those little glass electrolysis machine things.

jsatan Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I've missed something here, how do u make h2o2? lol. Graphite for leving http://www.scitoys.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I've missed something here' date=' how do u make h2o2?lol. [/quote'] Huh? Apparently I missed something too. The H2O2 is in another thread and I wasn’t making it I was only purifying it. Edit: oh wait H2O2 was in this thread... If you mix it with MnO2 it makes pure oxygen.

Lance Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 You can make ozone very easily with a neon sign transformer. Just get two pieces of glass with aluminum on the outside with a gap of air on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
