[NewCandle] ...like a bridge, over troubled waters... troubled waters indeed

[Keith Nagel]

Boy, that's quite a story. Sam must have a very
friendly landlord. 

I wonder if some kind of aluminum/air battery
type of effect was achieved to keep the pile
going after it dried out...

When aluminum catches fire, it burns just like
magnesium. If you try to extinguish it with
water, there will be an explosion. I've
always wanted to experiment with that effect
in a controlled way, but it's so dangerous
and I'm not in a place that makes that
very practical.

troubled waters indeed


Little news bit and pro-tip...

Unless you own your own home and property, be very
discreet with hydrogen experiments.

Sam Faile had another incident that I think put him
back on the radar of local fire and police.

Last week, Sam had been advised by his apartment
manager and the fire marshal to shut down his hydrogen
generator bucket tests - although the fire marshall
said he could let his last one finish up outside on
the patio.  So Sam obliged and moved his last bucket -
which was a whopper (like 2400 square feet of Al in
salt water) - outdoors.

Saturday, after having bubbled for several days, the
pile skyrocketed and began to get pretty fierce.  Sam
intercepted it, drained out the water, and the Al pile
soon dried out from its own heat.  Sam moved it
indoors.  However something was still reacting, as the
pile was not cooling off and his CO alarm went off
(which alerted the apartment manager unfortunately). 
Sam moved the bucket back out to the patio, but claims
it kept getting hotter until the bucket itself began
melting and even the vinyl siding beside where the
bucket sat began to distort!  Sam panicked and called
the fire department, who came, kicked the aluminum
pile apart, and hosed it down.

Unbelievably, the apartment manager did not evict Sam,
but he is now on good behavior graces alone.  He had
to get rid of all his aluminum reactor paraphernalia.

The drama aside, it does seem uncanny that there
continued to be a runaway heat and gas issue after the
Al was dried.  Maybe it was the residual salt deposits
between foil layers.  Wicked shizzen, though...

I have a 1200 square foot bucket generator in my
backyard (which I own) which is currently boiling and
bubbling away gangbusters.  I still ponder if any or
all of this could be made practical with scrap
aluminum and seawater or waste brine from a
desalination plant.

Hey, anybody out there playing with the Kanzius RF
hydrolysis?  I'm trying to cook up a matching network
so I can dial in my 500W RF generator to play with it
a bit.  Wanna add some Hevvy Watah to it.  RF assisted
CF?
