      Please get tuned into facts, 1. anti gravity is a product of the center field of a magnet. 2. the center of a magnet when vibrated will repel water 3. If you vibrate granite rock with the center field of a magnet at the correct frequency it will turn like butter. that's just the beginning it will play a Hugh part of our country's future. The anti gravity is only applicable to none iron type material such as glass or plastic. If you have a bar magnet simply tap the center near a trickle of water and watch the water move out of the way. Tap the center field on any none metalic surface and watch it loose weight. You can not use a sign wave type vibration it must be saw tooth . A sign wave signal contains the centerfield, that's what pushes AC and radio signals around the world. A sign wave has three elements on an oscilloscope you only see the two , On a scope you see the positive cycle and the negative cycle you never see the most significant part of the cycle and that is the center field that produces the energy to push the energy forward!!! There is allot to be learned about the magnetic center field .. Please help spred the news ..

    Would you add a sequel explaining the neutron absorption properties further? When absorbing neutrons, does Gadolinium then become a different isotope? Does that isotope decay (what half-life?) to another element(s) or is the neutron eventually re-emitted, perhaps at a different energy level?

    • @science4man
      @science4man  11 месяцев назад +6

      Good question. I hope to do another video about gadolinium, but the short answer is this: Gd has several naturally occurring stable isotopes and adding another neutron results in another stable isotope. So adding a neutron does not change the atomic number. There is some radiation emitted but no decay into another element. Gd remains Gd.

    • @sammylacks4937
      @sammylacks4937 10 месяцев назад

      That was a great question and I had to wonder about the answer because the only difference in isotopes is the number of neutrons.

    Of great importance to everyone. The linear compounds of gadolinium are toxic and are not eliminated from the brain. Cyclic compounds are less toxic and are difficult to eliminate. The contrast substance used in MRI investigations can be linear or cyclic. And even if linear compounds are prohibited in a country, you may be surprised to see that linear compounds are still used. Find out what the reality is, don't leave yourself in the hands of those who do the analysis!

    Warning -I took this stuff as a contrast agent for an MRI. The nurses warned me that it can cause side effects and advised me not to take it but i couldn't reach my Dr. at that time so i took it. I had a terrible skin condition similar to eczema for over a year after. Then it finally disappeared. When i asked my urologist about it later, his response was that it was very unprofessional for those nurses to tell me it could be harmful, totally neglecting the fact that i suffered for a year with an unnecessary illness. He is now my ex-urologist due to this and other errors that he made on me and i will never take it again for any reason.

      @science4man  11 месяцев назад

      The minor metals trade organization indicates that Gd world-wide reserves are more than 1 million metric tons. Most of the reserves are in China (as well as production), but there are significant amounts in other countries including India, Vietnam and Brazil. (also in the US). Current Gd production is reported to be about 7500 metric tons/year. The extraction process is difficult and produces toxic waste so mining must be done carefully to minimize environmental damage.

    Might make an interesting ferrofluid. Wonder if its low curie temperature could allow it to transfer heat effectively in a targeted range by changing the buoyancy within a magnetic field as temperature changes. I saw you could purchase 200 and 300 mesh powder for .3 and up per gram.
    Links to documents that are specific about its magnetic properties would be nice? I saw reference to anti-ferromagnetic and am not clear one how it behaves in a magnetic field based on temperature.

      I agree. It would be interesting to experiment with a gadolinium ferrofluid. An internet search brings up research articles concerning Gd ferrofluids.

    The magnetic properties of Iron, Cobalt, Nickel,....and Gadolinium, is a fine example of the antipodal affect demonstrated by the optimal form of the periodic table which is a circular calendar containing 6 different cycles, which is formatted by functional correlation methods. the four quadrant toroidal shape gives us not just tantalizing endless antipodal relationships but each quadrant also follows the fibonacci sequence from the center out.
    This in turn also gives us the instantaneous correlation of the primordial elements Tin- Ytterbium, with the 20 standard amino acids in the alphabetical order, which was self forming. These correlate by function and sequence. image at timeskool
    The first 36 primordial elements, have immediately noticeable antipodal relationships with the primordial elements Tin - Ytterbium, and this works in both calendrics, and chemistry. periodicity is our next frontier, Time has flavors and functions.
