frozen hair… sounds like fun

Gallium is a cool metal. It is what they make those melting spoons out of. You stir your coffee and looks like the coffee reacted with the spoon.

The water itself does not turn into gold. When the water vaporizes it causes dissolved gold in the water to be deposited.

And I bet I wouldn’t get enough gold from the last earthquake to make it worth my while to pay for a round trip from Orange City in Florida.

Now where can I get some gallium? This actually reminds me of the last Doctor Who episode.

Take care and may God bless.

Good catch. You hear me to the post. I hope John doesn’t mind but RBION has such a great reputation.

…. sorry…“beat me to the post…” Not"hear me"….

You can also melt ice into water the same way!

I’ve done some work with Indium which can be melted with a cigarette lighter. It comes in handy when you have solder joints which are close to one another. You’d do the hard solder joint first because it takes the most heat. Then you’d do the soft solder joint because you can heat the workpiece enough to melt the soft solder without loosening the hard solder joint. And finally the indium joint because it melts at an even lower temperature than the soft solder, thus it will take only enough heat to melt it and not the soft solder.

Danged Canadians have all the fun.

Kato! My philosopher’s stone!

I see Big Alchemy has gotten to Ripley’s, too.

with global warming, the next Takhini Hot Spring contest will be held in the Costco Distribution Freezer.

It’s not my fault!

so all i gotta do is buy some mineral water and shake the gold out of it?

You get NO respect for “fake news”! State this accurately as pearlsbs does or lose credibility!

Earthquakes, Huh! I can see alchemists all over the world banging their heads on their desks…

Freezing the hair into outrageous shapes would garner more attention if they just stood up…

I always tell my students not to believe everything they read online. Mr. G, you need to be more careful.

The most amazing thing is it’s apparently always -4°F at Takhini Hot Springs when they hold the International Hair Freezing contest. Must be the most stable temperature location on Earth WOW!
