[NewCandle] Gallium for Al H2O reaction rate

[Keith Nagel]

You know, the funny thing is, you might be able to do
the same thing with mercury, at a substantial cost 
savings. I know Nick and I have both done Merkles
experiments with Hg and aluminum. 

OTOH, dosing the water with H2SO4 or NaOH is a pretty
good way to clear that oxide barrier, without special
alloying with exotic/toxic metals. KISS.

Fred mentioned something to me, and I'll mention it
here for input. You know how when you dissolve NaOH
crystals in water, you get that awful smell? What is
that smell?

Looks like 99.99% (actually low grade stuff as far as
semiconductor use goes) gallium is roughly $2000US per
kilo.  3N and in bulk?  Dunno.  Probably one could get
down to around $1000/kilo.  Wonder how much it takes
to form the amalgum with Al..?
