The video needs some context, but it looks like fun on the livingroom table lol The greater the air (or gas component thereof) the more vigorous the reaction ?
Like many others, I follow Robert Murray-Smith's work on YouTube. He has a waterproof graphene ink that he sells. It seems an obvious to coat components with the ink and 'away ya go' The easiest graphene making process so far that I know of, is his acetone and water method. 75% acetone, 25% deionized pure water. You then put approx 3g of graphite particles in the mixture of 300 size. Spin it all up with a fast blender or such for a couple of hours and it sits in suspension as graphene. My own test run used a pills bottle and a Dremmel, with the 'chimney sweep brush' metal attachment...might be a tip if the wife likes her blender.
It's all incredibly intriguing and i'm looking forward to your updates Mike, to link up some dots in the bigger picture
High Mark & steven Sorry yes the vid I did not explain. It is firstly a ball mill, SS ball bearings, add graphite and iodine and put to work for an hour, and that is what you get. The sparking is electrical charge exchange, quite impressive don't you think This is used as a catalytic coating for a hydrogen cell, more than 30% more efficient than what is made now, well I think the plates in the Bloom box are this on a porus ceramic base made from sea sand. I use the same method but with other catalysts to form the reactive in my syn gas reactor (CH4, methane), I think you can imagine the electron exchange going on graphene has many many possibilities for all sorts of things, electron exchange is I think a huge area of use because of it's atomic structure. I'm not a chemist, but you might say I've seen the light regards Mike
