So basically you're saying that boiled fig water being added to waterglass leads to a chemical reaction that creates glue, or a gel of some kind, in the same way adding tallow to boiling limewash causes a chemical reaction that creates soap (which in turn reacts to become insoluble & aid in waterproofing). If I understood that properly it is very interesting. May I ask if you have conducted the usual tests that are done on bricks to test how waterproof they are etc?

i haven't mechanically stress tested them, but have boiled them, and a few went through the washing machine in my pocket

I'm going to try this. Are you sealing with polyethelene when the product is curing or allowing it to air dry?
@m3sca18 ай бұрын
small samples i will wrap in plastic. not using any sealers. recommend using figs or some other fruit that ends up acidic. the 1st brew shown here has added acid the new brew is acidic enough to not need it

Interesting. I’ve been interested in geopolymers for ages. I played around with many organic additives but didn’t have much luck. Maybe you could be on to something. Have you tried the boiling water test?

mate, my 1st successful rock with this method is so hard i am polishing it with a diamond wheel. water doesn't affect it. i have wet them and they do not soften. there is still a long term reaction happening that boiling will take away the waterglass inside. also applying heat above 60°C is bringing some of the reactants into a range that will never happen outside of an oven or pot. doing so before the full cure is done is not representative of real world scenarios for casting megaliths. so i am not accelarating cures with oven nor boiling until at least 60 days old. the fig juice acid ester is not a "might be" onto something. it is the same chemistry used in commercial waterglass hardeners. think of this as a side hack into making geopolymers. like yourself my other experiments were not very successful. but this is a whole different thing. the waterlgass has to harden. it has been forced to coagulate, so to speak

@@m3sca1 fantastic. I think I recognise you from the MFMP channel. Looks like we are into similar things. One of my first questions to Bob was whether geopolymer could be used as a lattice confinement for LENR reactions. He said the pores are too small but I’ve always wondered about composites. Also for electrolysis plates to make something like ohmasa gas. Anyway keep up the good work. Looks super interesting.

Pores too big I should have said.

@@martinhughes1854 yes, i am a regular follower of Bobs work aslo. i have not tuned in lately. The last i saw was the thunderstorm gen. Sometime it is good to drop a subject and do other things. I am worn out mentally on the Hydrogen. There is a very active community on twitX making for some fun experimenting. the figs and rubber has been a germ in my mind since i started investigating geopolymers over 20 years ago. there is a definate chemical change occuring. Kind of annoyed at myself for not testing it 20 years ago.🤦♂️

Hi. How do you extract juice out of figs? I tried centrifuge, but it rapidely clogs. Cheers.
