Electronegativity and ancient batteries.

 

Electronegativity and ancient batteries.


Galvanic corrosion (1) and it connects with batteries


Did ancient civilizations know electricity? What if we would drag down sodium on the gold? That thing would cause very high voltage or at least a highly dangerous electric phenomenon. The electric phenomenon would cause an explosion because sodium is highly reactive metal. In the chemistry is the effect, what is called electronegativity(2), and that effect is making things like batteries possible. 

The electronegativity means that the electrons are moving to the more electronegative atoms, and that thing makes electromagnetic corrosion possible. The ships are protected against this by using bites of zink, which are put in the bottom of the ship, and that causes that the more ignoble zink would corrosive, but iron is untouchable. The same effect that makes ships rusty is used in batteries. The net can be found charts, which show the distance between metals in the electronegativity series. 

The distance in that line is really important in this kind of case. In the next example, I will use metals gold and sodium, but the combinations like lead and gold or zink and gold are also suitable for this kind of purpose. 

If the distance between two metals in this table is very long, that means that the electrons are moving more effective between metals. That will increase voltage, and if the gold would touch the sodium, that will make very high voltage, and the thing is that if there is acid in the same pool, that thing makes the electrons moving.

Gold and sodium would make possible to create quite high voltage electricity, which can be used in the electrolytic reaction. When we are thinking the case, that the sodium and gold are in the same pool and the water-acid mixture is put in the pool, that thing causes electrolysis and the forming of the hydrogen. If there is a flame, that will explode the hydrogen immediately. 

What would we do with gold and lead? Volta's battery (3)


But the thing is that if we would put the gold and zink bites in the hollow tree stick, we could make a thing, what is called Volta's battery. Volta's battery is lead or zink, canvas (Volta used paper), where is acid and gold or iron plates on top of each other. 

If there are two electric conductors connected to that thing, that will create even the electric arc. And in the second case, Volta's battery, which is in elder books sometimes called the Statue of Volta can be used as the electric baton, which brings the one really interesting idea in the mind, and that is that maybe ancient Egyptian priests had got this kind of equipment.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...
