tentacles Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 oskar: surely even in France there are asian peoples, and where there are asian peoples there are stores which cater to them. But having no idea where in France you are, it could be impractical to find such a place. I didn't know uncle ben's had a glutinous rice, though. Here's an excerpt from wiki: Glutinous rice (also called sticky rice, sweet rice, waxy rice, botan rice, mochi rice, and pearl rice) is a type of short-grained Asian rice that is especially sticky when cooked. It is called glutinous in the sense of being glue-like or sticky and not in the sense of containing gluten; on the other hand, it should not be confused with the other varieties of Asian rice that become sticky to one degree or another when cooked. In comparison with those rices, sticky rice is very sticky. mormanman: The Japanese fire two 48" shells a year.

Tweetybird88 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Is there any interest in a mass purchase from Supreme Pyro here in the USA since the shipping charges are killer and it would be easier to distribute in the USA to save money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I didn't know there was a difference between short grain and white rice. As far as I know, all the long grain rice is brown. I don't eat a great deal of rice though. Only on christmas where mass quantities of sweet rice are consumed. I knew this was the glutinous variety, but I believe we always just purchased standard white variety. If any one else has had this you can definatly tell the difference between this and like rice-a-roni. You stick your spoon in and you can practically lift the whole bowl. Well, that is until it is doctored up with large amounts of milk, sugar, cinamon, and butter. As you can tell I like to keep my rice nice and healty. Perhaps I'll have to annex the left overs from this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oskarchem Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hi guys, I am making a new forum theam vid, so if you could find some time and send me some of your HE vids (I only need the HE ones because alle the other ones are in tne competition treads) to : bretes_4@hotmail.com Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fish Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I wonder if we really want the HE videos? Couldn't that make forum outsiders kind of suspicious of us (or worse yet... attract the unwanted crowds)? Plus, that could constitute taking HE material outside of the HE section, which I think is a no-no. But maybe I'm just talking crazy *waits for other opinions* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Just a word of courtesy about the forum vids. I would like to get a view of these vids before you go posting them around calling them the new APC forum video, or official APC video or anything. Compilations are fine by me, but when you associate the forum with it, I would like to keep somewhat of a level of control over it. I definatly don't want to give off the wrong impression and keep away productive members because they think we're a bunch of morons just interested in blowing shit up.

crazyboy25 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 just out of curiosity then mumbles if you want i could change the name of my video on youtube if you feel it shines a negative image on APC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskarchem Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 well I was going to show it to you before sending it around evry where... Ok I will leave the HE there where they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 No your's is fine. I was actually going to mention that, but seemed to have forgotten. It is pretty good.

mormanman Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm having troble with my electrosynthis technique (I'm trying to make copper oxide). I have a positive connected to the copper and put the copper in the water with the negitive daggling in the water next to it. So far nothing is happening, the last time I did the the copper bubbled like crazy and I think the bubbles were Hydrogen. Anyways does anyone know what my problem is?

crazyboy25 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 ok are you doing this becasue its cool or becasue you dont want to buy copper oxide? either way this is what you do: 1.make a saturated salt solution 2. put it in a cup and attach two wires one to each terminal of your DC power source 3. attach a copper cathode to thee negative terminal and a graphite/non copper anode to the positive. 4. wait a while it should form greenish black sludge filter it out this is copper(ll) oxide! all 2 grams of it! if you get yellow/orange shit thats copper (l) oxide (just switch the electrodes) also your battery might be dead if have any more questions or in the very likely event i am wrong someone will correct me.

mormanman Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Oh course I'm doing it for fun, not really I'm just poor. And I'm using a wall socket not a battery, just so you know. Thanks though, I'll tell you if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyboy25 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 a straight wall socket?!?!?!?!? or a transformer that plugs into a wall socket like a phone charger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskarchem Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 how is that possible? Woulden't the fuses jump?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyboy25 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 well it would be really dangerous if you used it straight from the wall you might trip the surge protector but if you use a transformer like a cell phone charger you will be fine.

mormanman Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 a straight wall socket?!?!?!?!? or a transformer that plugs into a wall socket like a phone charger?I was doing that for a little while and it was jumping the gap. I changed it with a transformer one. Anyways its working and again I appreciate it but what happens to the salt?hey guys, do you think wikipedia can be trusted: because I see some confusion on this definition of Guaniadine Nitrate:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanidine_nitrateRead the owerview section than the chemical dangers....Isn't that a liquid?

oskarchem Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 no I'ts a Powder but it states that the combustion makes non toxic gases and then it says that the combustion produces highly toxic fumes and corrosive ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormanman Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Oh, I was thinking it was the purple or pink or blue liquid that is highly combustable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyboy25 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 ok mormanman you need to do research before you take 210 volts of AC current and stick it in salt water electrolysis only works with DC if you continue to play with electricity and water with zero knowledge of their properties and tendencies you will get hurt do research set a goal ie make copper oxide then do it don't just zap water. speaking of electrolysis look what my dad got me: http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w318/cr...25/100_0864.jpghttp://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w318/cr...25/100_0870.jpghttp://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w318/cr...25/100_0868.jpghttp://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w318/cr...25/100_0867.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 In general, given the right mixture, GN will make non-toxic combustion products. It does however carry the potential, as with most chemicals actually, to product corrosive and toxic by-products if the formula isn't right. Wikipedia isn't what I would call a trusted resource. People will laugh at you if you ever cite wikipedia as a source in a paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
