Polar Or Non-Polar Activity

In this test we used water and ink from pens. This picture in flipped upside down on accident but with way you can still see what happened. The orange ink was the ink that was closest to the water. And the highlighter was drawn at the top of the slip. The orange is the most polar because it rose the highest. It interacted with the water the most out of the three.

This Is a highlight ink dipped in the water. This slip examples exactly what I've noticed in the other slips. The highlighter is polar with has a less of a pull/charge with the water than most of the inks. Put interestingly enough most of the other highlighters do interact well(shown in the test/picture below). But yellow doesn't. i do not recall this one being a different brand, which could be the cause.

After a while we started to test how the inks would interact with alcohol. 

This is a comparison of a test with water and a test with alcohol. The one on the left is the slip dipped in alcohol and the one on the right is the slip dipped in water. As you can see the interaction of inks with alcohol is still polar but with a much less amount of a charge/tug. That is my hypothesis. That the inks aren't interacting with the alcohol as they do with the water is because the charge is significant. Still polar but...less polarish.

Blue- Most Polar

Yellow-Second most Polar

Green-Least Polar

Cannable Air

Air pollution is a very big problem that has been plague millions of countries such as China, India, U.S, Mongolia and many more. Air pollution is caused by many different factors. Car exhausts are a prime factor. Mongolia is severely polluted because of its coal burning power plants. Electricity also creates an enormous amount. And the worst of the worst, factories. Plastic bottle factories are the probably the most dangerous.

Annually, around 1.3 million deaths worldwide are due to Air Pollution. Maybe even more. That is a enormous amount of deaths because of us. Our faults and needs are causing people to die. Its time to take a act.

This is exactly what Chen Guangbiao, a chinese philanthropist and business man did. He created cannable air. What happens is that the air is taken from high altitude mountains and canned. The cans are designed to automatically close shut the compressed air. Scientifically what happens is that "each can contains a chip so that during the packaging process when the negative oxygen ions reach a certain concentration level and the can is full, it seals automatically." This is just one act of his that has inspired people to act up. He has done many pulic stunts. He is known for his extremes. He recently smashed battery powered scooters with a sledge hammer. The cans are for 'drinking' but really the point behind them is to acknowledge people about a major problem. 

We should all take act like he is. Or you never know we will be 'drinking' canned air daily.

Magnetic Boy!

Ivan Stoiljkovic was born a special a child. Walking by 8 months, Rollerblading by 15 months and able to drive a motorcycle by 2 years and now he and his grandparents have discovered that he is magnetic. He is what you a could call a super hero with outrageous powers. Ivan and his grandparents were joking around with him when they discovered that his torso is magnetic. Coins, pans his keys and anything metal stick to him. Whats even more amazing that the heavier the object is the better it sticks. You would think that the heavier it is the more likely it is to fall.

Another thing supporting this superhero idea is that he is healer hands. His family have noticed that his wounds have all healed faster than they have ever seen and they leave no scars. Also when he touches anyones wound it sends the pain to a soothing pause. Sounds crazy but they do have evidence. He has seen it happen, he alleviated his grandfathers stomach pains and took away the pain in the neighbors hurt leg from a tractor accident.

Heres a video of Magnetic boy in the act!

Master The Force Week 3

Mind control is the new wonder of the 21 century. We have discovered electricity, matter, and of course technology. But now scientists are pushing for Brain Control. Imagine being able to look at someone and throw them in the air. AWESOME! But nothing is better then making something explode with a glance.

Two very cool people, Brad and Chris of the "Kentucky-based hackerspace LVL1"(sounds hardcore) have modified a mind control toy to explode things. They have their business based on star wars and mastering the force. The toy started out as a pretty boring and simple but new game. What happened was that the player puts on a wireless head set and a clear plastic tower that has a ping pong ball and a fan type of thing attached to the bottom of the tube. When the player put on the head set he/she had to focus on lifting the ping pong ball. When the person did this the wireless head set and the wireless magigy attached to the fan would get a reading from the brain and make the ping pong ball rise and drop. So brad and Chris took the toy and changed it to a awesome toy. Instead of using a fan they used a air compressor and stuck the tube in a watermelon. They kept the headset and the other magigy so that when the person focuses on blowing up the watermelon the air compressor inserts air and makes the watermelon blow up. Kick butt was of using the force!
They called it the "Mind over Melon".

It is not a sold toy it was just a tested toy used by the two in their home town, Louisiana. 

One interesting fact before we wrap this up. The original game technology was based on technology used by heart specialists. Don't take this the wrong way, they didn't have mind control to make the heart keep pumping even though that sounds possible. Its just the type of technology they used.

2 new elements added to periodic table

On May 31 of 2012 2 new elements approved  by the "International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)" (http://earthsky.org/human-world/two-new-elements) are a new addition to the periodic table of elements making the periodic table have a total of 118 elements.  The two elements, flerovium and livermorium were discovered during a research get together lead by scientists working at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab situated in the U.S. Others from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Russia.

Most probably you do not know anything about these two element so I'm going to give you some second hand info.

Flerovium is element 114 and simple enough has the symbol of FL. The atomic mass of 289. The superheavy element was named after the founder of the Joint Institute, Georgiy N. Flerov. Scientists studied both of the elements in labs and conduction experiment. The scientists were able to bombard other elements like plutonium and add protons to them to see what amount of protons would make Flerovium or Livermorium.

Livermorium is element 116 and an atomic weight of 293. Its symbol is LV. The element was named in tribute of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California, USA.
