SWEET! Time to set up my lab again.......

 

Are there any restrictions about having sodium in your posession? I think it can be sort of dangerous...it's really reactive w/water.

None that I know of. Hell, you can go to WalMart and buy fertilizer.

Sodium isnt that bad. It does react with water but not as bad as some that will literally explode on contact with water

It still causes considerable damage if you flush a chunk.

Cesium will blow away many things upon contact with water. Heh.

As will Francium. Of course, contact with water is of little concern since Fr is radioactive.

Using pure Na in tablet form as a suppository works great for hemorrhoids.

Try it.

ebay for the sodium, but i heard you can make your own by doin the electrolisis thing on a molten pool of salt
magnesium you can get at any good metal supply warehouse, care that stuff sucks to put out once it gets burning. walmart sells it to

Camp fire starter.
Commonly used fire starter: You carve off some shavings of magnesium from the block using your hunting knife, then strike the flint with the back of the knife to ignite the shavings. I removed the striker bar (see Cerium for a video of this bar being sparked with a knife). This one was purchased from Walmart in April 2002.
How pure is the magnesium you get at Walmart? Analysis by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy at the Center for Microanalysis of Materials, University of Illinois (partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy under grant DEFG02-91-ER45439) gives the following composition:
97.24% Magnesium
1.21% Zinc
1.11% Manganese
0.44% Iron
So, not too bad. It's not reagent grade, but it's decent technical grade magnesium.
