[NewCandle] Silver aluminum screening experiment

[Keith Nagel]

Hey Nick,

I should post another page with an experiment to highlight
the phototropic effect; I wish I had a nice microscope with
a camera adapter so I could grow and photograph some of
the forms of dendrites in-situ. As you see, they are very
delicate, and attempting to remove and image them from their
growing medium destroys much of the macro structure. The
sun just does not shine here in the winter like on the East
Coast, so I'll try it with an ordinary light bulb. Should
work just as well. I could also try it with a laser, which
should create a dendrite right at the spot of illumination.
Perhaps that might be more compelling?

Although I don't think such things are affected by thought,
I couldn't help but think of this oddity from your comments
about PSI

Russian occult science types have claimed that this system is sensitive
to thought. I remain skeptical. It's probably sensitive to
just about everything else though, so why not? (grin)

The storm glass led me to another invention, perhaps the most
eccentric and quirky machine created by man. Witness the awe
and mystery of the tempest prognosticator.

OK, back to the subject at hand...

I think the D2O is a great idea, and something which I had
always wanted to do with this system. I wonder what the
cheapest source of quantities of D2O is these days? I know
of only one hobby sources, Lazar, but he's still kind of
pricy for the quantities needed to do serious wet chemical
research. What are the CF researchers using?

Hi Keith,

Ah, phototropism in the silver fractal-biologic
system!  I never paused to consider that, but it makes
perfect sense!

As I was examining the dendrites, particularly the
delicate doily break-out growths, I found myself
enraptured with the potential for vacuum mode
interaction and Casimir forces playing roles in the
forms and growth.

Among so much else, it could be another complex
nano-system sutable for continuing the search for
human psi ala micro-PK!

By the way, I started a long term aluminum nitrate
system last week...

20ml of distilled H2O in a soda lime glass test tube.

~8 grams of Al(NO3)3 to provide about 15% by wt. Al

one half of the provided aluminum strip, polished with
commercial aluminum polish, then rinsed with MeOH and
dried; .61 grams weight after polishing.

~2 drops of diluted AgNO3:H2O enough to provide ~1mg
of Ag into the system as seeding.

After about 48 hours, a dull greyish coating was
beginning to form on the Al, with very slight
formation of small bubbles on the Al surface.

I set the tube up on a shelf, out of any direct light.
 Now we wait.  I am going to set up an identical tube
using some well water, with a little added D2O as my
vanity improvement.

The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates. 
Adorned in the masters' loving art, She lies;
She rests at last beneath the starry skies.
