Nobody is disputing what happens when you spin an egg.So providing a video will not change anything.Why are you proposing to waste time and bandwidth on it?Angular momentum is a conserved quantity.
"The great force required to spin a high viscosity liquid is real"Not really//www.youtube.com/watch?v=92DLUnaPx7IWhy do you keep saying stuff that's not true?
" However you did not comment on potassium permanganate being used as a method of decontamination for radioactive contamination of the skin."Would you like me to?OK potassium is radioactive.It would border on madness to use it to seek to remove radioactivity.Also, permanganate is rather corrosive to skin (Not to mention staining it brown/ black).It's possible that they might once have used it.So what?That does not mean that it works.It certainly does not mean that it forms a pale hydrate."I am fighting a knowledge blackout, you on the other hand are just quoting common sources. "It is unfortunate that your knowledge has blacked out.However the reason I'm citing common sources is that they are easy to cite.What I am actually relying on is a vast experience of chemistry. I have been playing this game professionally for 28 years: I studied it at Oxford for 4 years before that and at school for many years before that- as I said- starting at home with my dad's old text books.So, what I cite here isn't really the point.When I point out that you must be wrong about a pale permanganate- because permanganates are not pale, it is simple logic."That always omit the history of the chemistry or chemical compound. "Chemicals do not remember history.What you are purporting to claim is that "way back" we somehow knew more chemistry than we do now.How is that possible?If the old books don't agree with the new observations, guess which one is wrong?You have this "The fact that solid sodium hydroxide contains free water as well as sodium oxide tells me that it is not a stable compound we are looking at." completely the wrong way roundIt is a stable compound and it does not contain the oxide.You are misunderstanding a proximate analysis in that old book you cited.So when you say "It is a transitioning mix and partial crystallization. According to your definitions. ", again, you are completely wrong.Sodium hydroxide is a single chemical compound; it is not a hydrate of the oxide."I ordered some potassium permanganate and I will see if I can produce some lavender crystals of potassium permanganate using controlled temperature and a vacuum pump. I imagine the oral does must have been very small to create a lavender crystal. "Have fun.You will of course fail.that's because it's impossible.If it was something that pharmacists did in order to make some preparation then it would be written down.I'd be able to find it on line- so would you.I'd be able to find it in my old pharmacopoeias. I have paper copies because I collect that sort of data.It's not there.If this stuff was some sort of patent medicine then (the hint is in the name) there would be a patent.The best reason for it to only be in your head is that you dreamed it.And, once you start introducing stuff about "we know that air burns if hot enough"(It does not)"usually because it is separated to its individual atoms"(No it isn't.)"early submarine launched rockets""So yea we knew things that others to this day by way of the "laws" of conservation claim could not have existed. " (Those conservation laws are mathematically proven to be true)"This was in the fifties,""My point is the Habor process is a fusion reaction""That works much like a ramjet""if you have looked at taxation ...""I believe the ramjet that detonated air, started to create high voltage from the pressure differential created by the Venturi, that in turn created a plasma that expanded the air violently. ""I have electrically created plasma in pure nitrogen, and oxygen. Both react rather violently. "and other such ramblings, you look like Grandpa Simpson.//www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o-7MmhqNfAbecause it's got nothing to do with permanganates.
"Molten glass is not necessarily melted fluid glass."Nor is egg white.Molten glass is a lot more similar to the molten rock of the Earth's core."Newton had proven this."Citation please.Incidentally, you rather miss the point that, sitting here on Earth, I don't see the Earth's core rotating."Before I get to insulting people I make sure my science is spot on. "Your science is practically non-existent in this case.You claimed that "The great force required to spin a high viscosity liquid is real"I posted a link (sorry this site corrupted it) to a you tube video of someone who was spinning a liquid with no great force.That proves you are wrong.No "word games" just evidential proof of the falsity of your assertion."I received very pure potassium permanganate the other day. It is not at all radio active. "Then it is either a very unusual (and insanely expensive) isotopically enriched product, or it's not potassium permanganate.However I suspect that the real problem is that you don't understand how to make a proper measurement of radioactivity.Potassium is mainly a beta emitter.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium-40Those same beta particles are easily blocked so, if you have the potassium in the presence of a relatively high atomic number element like manganese, the manganese will block a lot of the radiation.If, on the other hand, you have some tea leaves then (1) there will be other radioisotopes emoting radiation and (2) there will be a lot less "heavy" elements blocking that radiation.How did you calibrate for self-absorption in the measurements you made?Or did you not understand enough about the subject to realise that you needed to make that correction?(That is, of course, part of getting the science "spot on".)"It turns out the lavender solution does not stain the skin or anything else for that matter."Really? Did you try running it slowly through a filter paper?"And it works extremely effectively at disinfecting the skin. "Is that "spot on" science where you actually did the experiment- or did you make it up?You seem to have forgotten that I already acknowledged that it kills bugs- so that's not worth further discussion as such, but I'd like to know how you quantified it.Ditto "Even deep infections soaked for a few minutes in a lavender solution of potassium permanganate totally cures the infection. An infection that iodine could not stop. The solution turns brown when it is pretty well used up. "Got any evidence?Could it be that the very dilute solution did nothing, but, unlike iodine, it didn't damage the tissue so the body's immune system could take out the infection?Where are the clinical trial data?That's pretty much the minimum for "spot on" science, surely?And finally, you seem to be trying to make my point for me.You say "Only a few specs of the black potassium permanganate powder which is almost invisible on a white background will create a quart of lavender solution. It is extremely potent. "and yes, I agree.It only takes traces of permanganate to make a material lavender coloured. I pointed that out while back - I said that even a 1% solution is very dark.And yet you were originally claiming that this tiny trace was enough to bind the water together to make a crystal.Had you forgotten that the thread was about that absurd claim of yours.You know that anything more than a trace of permanganate will make the mixture very dark- yet you say that even less than that will hold it together as a crystal.Is that another bit of "spot on" scientific reasoning?
Thorium mostly decays by releasing alpha particles, which have very poor penetrating power. There is also some degree of decay releasing gamma radiation (from 228Th), which is very penetrating. If you do not understand the difference between beta (which is what potassium does) and gamma radiation, you shouldn't have access thoriated anything!

The thorium that is joined with the very heavy Tungsten element in a 2:98 ratio. But the manganese is absorbing the more powerful beta radiation of the potassium? I think we should get our stories straight before we put all this on a science forum. Are you saying if I cover a thoriated tungsten rod that registers on my Geiger Counter, with potassium permanganate that I will not be able to read it?What is so funny is that I have been warning welders for many years that thorium is rather radio active. Their chemists claim I am paranoid and that, the level of radiation is minimal and not a health hazard. Haha. I have noted that with age, oxidation, the radiation increases. Also if you use them without proper noble gas coverage they can create a room full of radiation. Noble gas welding cylinders when almost empty often output other elements than pure noble gases. Which as I was mentioning in another topic that was closed, could kill. What I stated, I have done, so I know that who ever moderated that thread is not about the science or living but rather wants to play legal eagle. Look at anything grown in South America the soil is highly radio active. Brazil nuts will register on a geiger counter. I have not tried a banana from South America though.

"Yes. Naturally occurring Th is a mixture of isotopes and they emit a range of radiation.Were you not aware of that?"he thorium that is joined with the very heavy Tungsten element in a 2:98 ratio. But the manganese is absorbing the more powerful beta radiation of the potassium? "It's not a matter of "powerful" . The gamma rays are more penetrating. That's how the 3 tyeps of radiation were originally distinguished into 3 groups - by their penetration range.Also, you seem not to have noticed that the 40K which is doing the emitting is only about 0.012% of the potassium. By comparison the 2% of thorium is a lot."Are you saying if I cover a thoriated tungsten rod that registers on my Geiger Counter, with potassium permanganate that I will not be able to read it?"No.Nobody said that did they?What we did say (by implication) is that a layer of manganese would severely attenuate the beta radiation from any potassium (or any other beta source).You have not explained how you would do the self absorption correction that would be needed for this to be "spot on" science."What is so funny is that I have been warning welders for many years that thorium is rather radio active. Their chemists claim I am paranoid and that, the level of radiation is minimal and not a health hazard. Haha."You need to hang out with better chemists.The fact is that thorium is actually rather toxic- even without the radiation damage you should avoid it like you would nickel or lead.They were right in saying the radiation wasn't the big problem.I am more radioactive than a welding rod.Incidentally re "Noble gas welding cylinders when almost empty often output other elements than pure noble gases.

"Gases mix.So, the gas mixture coming from a full tank is nearly the same as that from an empty tank. Not that it matters much.What you stupidly said was that you couldn't be asphyxiated by a pure noble gas. That's simply not true.And since it's dangerous nonsense, that thread was killed.It's not because anyone was being a "legal eagle". It's because you were spouting stupid dangerous tosh.I suggest that you don't try to raise the issue againThis bit is funny"Look at anything grown in South America the soil is highly radio active."You really think that , in spite of the fact that South America is huge, all the soil there is the same.Really?Did you actually type that, and expect to be taken seriously?The more "spot on" version of the science is that Brazil nut tress grow in rain forests.Because there's a lot of rain, the soil is poor- much of the nutritional value is washed out.The trees solve that problem by simply transpiring huge amounts of water.In the case of the Brazil nut tree they don't do a very good job at excluding barium and radium when they try to take up calcium.That's why the nuts are radioactive.Why not check your "spot on" science before posting?
OK, for a start, you seem to now accept that Newton didn't say this" As soon as you rotate a liquid mass, there is internal friction generated. No one can say anything differently and not be a fool. As soon as friction is generated there is a loss of energy between the energy applied to rotate the liquid and the heat generated. "as you claimed earlier.There's a problem with "Newtons claim is that energy is neither created or destroyed, just altered. "Newton didn't have a clear definition or understanding of energy so he couldn't have made that statement."I just started using my potassium permanganate and I can assure you it so powerful that it must be seen to be believed. The lavender fluid turns brown after you soak flesh in it, mine, in a few minutes time, remarkable stuff really. "Of course I believe it;I told you it would do that. You are the one who was saying it didn't. Do you remember saying "It turns out the lavender solution does not stain the skin or anything else for that matter."?I see that ChiralSPO has tried to explain basic radioactivity to you and all you could come up with was a straw man.So I will have another go.The gamma rays from thorium are much more penetrating than the beta particles from potassium. That's why they go through lead.It is, therefore, unsurprising that they go through tungsten.It's also utterly irrelevant.
".... If you understand ARC (Anode, Rectified, Cathode), ..."It wasn't possible when you said it before, and it still isn't right now.http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=45336.20It was bad the first time round, but to reintroduce it seems "interesting"of you.Why not just stop saying things that are clearly not factual?Also, you rather seem to have lost focus on the actual topic.How could something which is very dark, even if only present at 1% or so form pale crystals?What's holding all the vast excess of water together?I hope you enjoyed making the video. I'm obviously not going to bother watching it- I know what the stuff looks like. and, since this thread is in the "That can't be right" forum, it's unlikely than more than a handful of people will ever see your post.
That's remarkable.You think that the slight conductivity of concrete- which was never disputed- has something to do with showing that Sir Humphrey Davy, the man who first named the electric arc, must have moved forward in time to a point where the words "anode", "cathode" and "rectifier" were invented.Would you like to explain the link?Incidentally, it remains the case that marble is a very poor conductor- so much so that it was used as an insulator in standard inductors.http://www.globalspec.com/specsearch/partspecs?partId={7F369169-AC3F-4EC0-AF72-84203BF93E16}&vid=156785&comp=4155I have a slab or two of it about the place somewhere- I might get round to measuring the resistivity.Getting back to the point of the thread, please would you please explain how a tiny amount (certainly less than 1%) of permanganate turns water into a crystal.Alternatively, admit that it can't and that you simply didn't remember something correctly.
