Do not repeat the experiments shown in this video!
Today I would like to tell you about such an unusual metal as gadolinium. Gadolinium belongs to the lanthanides series in the periodic table following europium. Gadolinium looks like an ordinary metal of gray color and it has distinctive crystalline structure because of its purity. The metal is extracted from minerals containing practically all rare-earth metals - from monazite. The final stage of extracting metallic gadolinium is heating up its oxide with calcium and later distillating it. This metal is not that expensive.

Probably not as the magnetic flux of the magnets might induce anomalous currents and errors in function.... you'd want the heat exchange *outside* the computer with cooling coils inside near the hot components.

[@ashbridgeprojects6916]

There's no chance of magnetic refrigeration becoming the norm. Refrigeration will use C02 and Hydrocarbons in the future. HFCs will be pretty much gone by 2030. Anything with a relatively high GWP will be too expensive to be used. R449A is £45 per kilo at the moment and is not sustainable. CO2 is approx £2 per kilo.

[@josiehinton4351]

It is a known risk in medical usage as it is toxic when it cannot be removed from the body. Since the human body has now way to remove it, once parts of a contrast treatment separate from the cholation agent, it settles and cannot be removed. Newer products containing manganese have shown equal capability as MRI contrast agents and the body has processes for controlling Mn levels.

[@hopeyoung5482]

I have had many problems with my MRI and gadolinium toxicity. Your kidneys if they are healthy can remove some of it. My question is after some of it is removed, can you still have symptomatic problems ? The real problem is finding good information about it.

[@josiehinton4351]

@@hopeyoung5482 I only know what I have read about it. The cholating agent mixed in the contrast is what your body can expel. The risk is if it doesn't all pass and it seems most of the time a small amount will remain in the body. I have read the biggest health issues occur when someone has had a few contrast injections even if spaced out over years, there is additional amounts that build up. IDK otherwise. I just had one done in the last month. In the US there are no alternatives. In Europe most of the old contrast mixtures are banned now. Some of the Universities there came up with and have done all the testing with Manganese based contrast agents. The study I read showed it worked just as well and has nearly zero risk as the body can naturally flush out excess Manganese.

[@hopeyoung5482]

@@josiehinton4351 I just got back my 24 hour Gadolinium urine test and it was .20. So after 3 MRI'S in 7yrs, I am still retaining a little. Which they say is OK. (like it's ok to have ANY) It is very troubling because I still have many toxicity symptoms.

[@Acetyl53]

They don't care if it makes you sick. They won't admit there's even the slightest bit of risk until their backs are up against the wall. It's the same braindead dissociative pattern, every single, time. Superior alternatives will be ignored because, again, there's no one competent at the wheel, they don't care about you, they know there's retroactive liability, most doctors are not actively reviewing the literature and even if they are cannot deviate from best practices without opening themselves up to malpractice suits. Right diagnosis, right treatment = safe (for them, and their industrial partners). Short version, gadolinium was known to dissociate from its chelate and was known to be toxic long, long ago.

No, it would actually be a much much less efficient engine than a regular electric motor, just because it would be converting the starting energy into heat first.
