@GrimRaidriar 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

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?

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.

[@MitchCarroll]

What about electroplating it with something like nickel or aluminum, and melting out the lead to form a sort of metal aerogel?

[@David-fh6rr]

There's a similar method for the production of Raney-nickel, an extremely active hydration catalyst. You form a Nickel/aluminium alloy and etch out the aluminium witch conc. NaOH, but you don't an "aerogel" like product, in fact it's quite dense.

[@johnpossum556]

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.

[@michahalczuk9071]

Spongy lead was proposed as very useful material for batteries for cheap electric cars. Theoretical maximal specific energy of lead acid cell is around 166 Wh/kg. If we could get let's say 120 Wh/kg, then you could make 400 kg battery pack with 48 kWh, giving you possibility of going upwards of 500 km on single charge -

[@TheAxecutioner]

Thanks for sharing that very interesting information. How do Tesla's batteries stack up against max potential?

[@michahalczuk9071]

Their newest 2170 cells are around 322 Wh/kg (the only data I got, might be higher or lower), but being lithium-ion, they need some extra electronics for protection. Unfortunately I don't have exact theoretical number, but it should be around 600-700 Wh/kg for Li-NMC (currently densest in mass production). That would be around 46-50% of theor. capacity. LiFePO4 have theoretical specific energy of 385 Wh/kg, and they have about 50-60% of Li-NMC energy density. Lithium sulfur (Li-S) are at this moment batteries with highest practical (500 Wh/kg) and theoretical (2,4 kWh/kg) energy density, and have great potential for electric and long range vehicles or possibly even boats. If in near future (20 years or so) we'd be able to get to 1 kWh/kg with cost lower than 100$/kWh (currently around 140$/kWh from LG Chem, not sure about Tesla/Panasonic, could be lower) then ICE vehicles would be very much dead. We will surely get to 100$/kwh much faster then to 1 kWh/kg, but even 200 Wh/kg would be enough to compete with ICE, the cost is more important. EDIT. I forgot to add - higher specific energy would make batteries cheaper per kWh since less material is needed to achieve given capacity. With 1 kWh/kg batteries would problably cost less than 50$/kwh..

I feel like the powder helps the reaction with the granules and I'm sure that asked eight levels are important but I feel like that could be a actual factor and why the other test didn't go well

this could be used as an alarm switch since it is conductive and brittle, so placed on faults or places where friction movement is expected you could make cutoff switches/triggers

[@yellow_spinning_goose]

i thought lead wasn't conductive but af you add a conductive powder or something it may work as a one -time switch

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

[@bio-cell2571]

Great Video! I can see a use for this info in my battery research. I think if you stirred the mix slowly while adding the zinc, you would get more crystallization, which you might be able to control the crystal size of with the mixing speed. I would also try linking the crystal structure together with a borax solution after it's made, which I think would make it more solid. Can't wait to see your new lab! :-)

Test the efficiency of the sponge as part of a battery. How much is converted to salts, what's the voltage, etc. of different densities of sponge.

[@johnpossum556]

I'd like to see that. Is it possible to build a fairly robust reusable lead acid cell battery at home? Cody said he had done it but didn't really show any results.

it would be the best catalyst though coz it has huge surface area maybe you can look for a reaction with lead as the catalyst

Might be interesting to try making a battery of it. The zinc contanimation might be an issue, but that structure- well, you read the paper. compared with a lead plate battery containing a similar amount of lead, it aught to work better the 1st recharge cycle, although I doubt it would be durable beyond that.

you are made an electrode material with probably much higher surface area than gas impregnated cast lead because of cristallic microstructure. it will be cool to purify it and test it's elecrical properties.

This is because you formed lead in a liquid Since it still holds has gaps when dry because that’s where the water was so it will easily crumble It absorbs water easier when dry because it now has empty gaps to hold and take the water

[@carterplasek498]

I came up with a use for this sponge: A Lead Acid Battery I don't know if being impure with zinc impurities would make this unusable, but it seems to be a good way to get really high surface area battery terminals. If anyone knows how the zinc would interact, I am really curious.

[@TheSmileyFacedPizza]

The zinc can just be dissolved away before being put in the battery. edit: It'd actually be easier to do after it's put in the battery.

[@carolynmmitchell2240]

TheSmileyFacedPizza how

[@TheSmileyFacedPizza]

carolyn mmitchell Sulfuric acid dissolves zinc but not lead. Just make the battery, leave it for like a day, then drain and refill the acid before using it.

That's just onion juice it vaporizes very quickly so to extract it would require a vacuum with no suction so unless he's going to space I don't see that happening anytime soon. But I would love to be proven wrong go ahead nilered
