I accidentally discovered lead sponge...

Ғылым және технология

I never planned to cover this topic, because honestly I had no idea that it existed. It's really interesting what you can just stumble onto. In the future, I might revisit this and I might also try making other metal sponges.

    @@Galaxivist and allow me to explain to you how the mind of somebody with autism works. Somebody with autism will always take what they read at face value with The only exception being if it is eluding to a concept that they already understand so an inside joke for example. So unless it is an inside joke that they already get or something to that effect they will take what they read at face value especially if they have seen people who are that f****** idiotic in real life before, because I have seen people who would genuinely say something like that not as a joke or an exaggeration or whatever but because they genuinely believe that for concepts that are much MUCH easier to understand. Having high functioning autism is simultaneously a blessing and a curse because you are easily going to be the most literal person in the room or in the discussion thread or wherever you currently are, and if what this particular group of humans is talking about is something that deeply interests you you are probably going to be the most knowledgeable person on that thing unless there's somebody who does that professionally and has been doing it for years now, and you are going to go into so much detail that unless it is a topic that interests them they are almost certainly going to be bored within 5 or 10 minutes. You also get smart asses on the internet who try and open your eyes to the obvious misunderstandings that you have a lot of the time who think they're being so helpful or are doing their best to piss you off when it's like yes I know I've tried to correct these flaws but I can't. And I know I can't because I've tried and tried and tried and then I tried some more and then I gave up because spending months or even years doing basically the exact same thing with absolutely zero progress when you can't think of any better way to do what you're trying to do kind of just leads to you giving up and deciding you know what I'm going to go do something more productive than waste my time trying to fix a flaw that I don't even know how to fix when it's only a minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things

    I left some electroplating solution in a closet for too long (I think it may have been contaminated with zinc) and a very similar sponge can form with copper. The solution was originally a very high concentration copper acetate and water solution, and I think that some zinc dissolved into it over time. I found it recently and noticed a weird wiggly solid sitting at the bottom, and that’s when I remembered this video.

    Do any of them float like pumice? Do they absorb liquids or filter like activated charcoal? Can they be molded and carved then dried and used for plastic casting? Does the surface area make the lead react faster in reactions? Can it be used in place of a more expensive catalyst in any reactions? Using it as an electrode, does the increased number of nucleation sites allow it to split water more quickly or produce a higher yield of O2 and H2?

    You were so close to the first PN junction commonly used in electronics: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_detector_(radio)#Whisker I found it especially ironic you used the meter on the diode(PN juunction!) check function, which also reads out the bias voltage of the PN junction, without landing on the thought of it nearly being a diode. Galena (the crystal form of lead ore, often on a piece of quartz when found in nature) was typically used often with just an ordinary safety pin's point being used to make the PN junction. Oneday you might also try messing around with germanium to make a germanium diode which can also be used to rectify AM out of the air. They're very effecient and take about half the voltage of a silicon diode. Come to think of it I don't think I've ever seen the voltage of a Lead diode ever posted anywhere on the net.

    Your recreation attempts didn't work because you didn't have your magnetic stirring rod in there. The lead were clumping together ferromagnetically the same way iron powder clumps together from adopting a magnetic field. As for uses, I'm thinking lightweight conductive rods for motors, but the porous nature of it may prove to be a poor overall conductor, since given enough current I see it easily melting the lead sponge structure.

    Perhaps you could try to get a microscopic look at it, to see the structure? You could also try to experiment with adding certain materials to toughen the structure. For example, experimenting with pouring in certain powders, before the zinc dust, that the lead sponge can form around. You could experiment with crushing materials that don't react with lead or zinc into dust and pouring it in before the zinc dust. Or you could try putting larger things similar to ball bearings, to make the lead sponge form a lead sponge covered ball or crystal. You could also try putting everything in a mold instead, and (attempting, at least) to take it out and have it in different shapes. But that's all just me putting random ideas out there. =P
