      It is like NASCAR racing. Nobody is paying that kind of money just to watch cars drive around in a circle fast - they are there waiting for the crashes and broken bodies. It's human nature, like when you drive by an auto accident. We all slow down, and we all look - and, even though we don't say it out loud, we all know what we're looking for - and the mild disappointment (mixed with relief) when it isn't there to see.

    I work in an aluminum foundry, and we monitor the iron content of the aluminum using samples out of the melter. When the iron content gets too high, we add strontium to bind with the iron and remove it; iron makes aluminum parts brittle. Magnesium is also added to strengthen the aluminum.

The fan was cooling everything so fast that your electrolysis did not yield all the aluminum. I would retry the electrolysis in open air without the fan and I bet you'll get more aluminum extracted. Congrats this is how inventors worked and found new metals.

    The tiny bit of aluminum is a good example of how highly charged electrons really are. Faraday's constant - 96485 coulombs per mole. If you want a gram of aluminum, that's 1/9th of a mole of electrons (1/27th of a mole of aluminum @ 3 electrons per atom), or ~10,000 coulombs of charge you have to move around. If you were actually able to push 40A through the mixture it would still take ~4 minutes to do the job. Electrochemistry is so often ridiculously slow.

    On the family farm, years ago we discovered many drilled shaft about 2 to 3 feet diameter. We had to mark them off so that no kids would fall into them. After investigation, it turns out that these shaft were drilled to remove the mica that was there as it was a popular metal at the time (mid to late 1800s ) My grandparents bought the place in 1901. There's still some pieces of the mica laying around but my question is this: What other interesting metal ore can I possibly find when there's mica present?

However, white men aren't given a fair shake these days. I assume the ATF has to treat any report as very serious, so I don't blame them. The people who reported Cody should be investigated for wasting people's time.

      @Papperlapappmaul 8 лет назад +27

      I'm not a chemist but AFAIK fluorine bonds are generally very strong and hard to break. Since the aluminium in cryolite is surrounded by fluorine atoms, I think you'd have to put in a lot of energy in order to get the aluminium out of the cryolite. Also Cody said that the cryolite is not consumed in the process and can be reclaimed.

    • @TheCoffeehound
      @TheCoffeehound 8 лет назад +7

      Not cheaty at all. The cryolite doesn't really break down in the process he used, which is a small scale version of the Hall-Heroult process. This process is one of the most common used to extract aluminum metal from Al2O3.
