A minor dressing down for corroding some spoons. It was an old spoon to begin with, getting slightly rusty, So I used it for an electrode in and for scooping sodium metal out of an electrolytic cell running on caustic soda It was past it anyway. Now its past anything else :P

I'm going to have a crack (pun intended) at drilling lots of little holes in it, soldering a cable onto it and seeing if i can separate out the forming Na from the melt by means of differences in surface tension. Hoping that the surface tension of the mixture of caustic and other salts plus CaCl2 is different in a useful way, I.e retaining it within the holy spoon and letting the molten caustic slops drip back into the cell for their next go with the electrodes.

And a little voice in the back of my head telling me I'm probably not going to be doing much sleeping tonight either:autism:

The annual Crab Fest is on down at the foreshore so I can hear music and someone DJing. I'm about two and a half blocks away from it so it's fairly noisy.

A noise combining hissing and something llike 'wooyoyoyoyoyoyoiingggggggggggggggggg' as a compressor pumps Cl2 through a liebig condenser whilst a tank of dry argon pushes trough the chlorine.

Noisy frogs who I think are enjoying the damp conditions. And the freezer.
