wooooooow! x2

what about magnesium oxide as an oxidizing agent?

[egloskerry]

Nah, doesn't work. Gibbs free energy isn't high enough.

i checked out all your videos and they are great. where do you get all those metal oxides

[egloskerry]

Pretty much all of them I've gotten from pottery suppliers. Sheffield pottery has very good prices, and a great selection.

A couple are from ebay, and if you look around, you can find very rare oxides such as Erbium or Praseodymium.

cool thx

[megafeltch]

that would work if you mixed magnesium oxide with a metal more reactive than magnesium

search 'single displacement reaction on google'

boom

What mesh did you use and what ratios?

stoich 4.4:1?

[egloskerry]

There were only two chemicals, but yes, stoichiometric. Al is 325 mesh, not sure about the CuO.

[egloskerry]

You should experiment with many different oxides.
