Thought some would like this entertaining and amusing nugget of information:



COPYRIGHT 8-10-2014 Ken L Wheeler


Bismuth sits at a golden ratio ‘seat’ on the periodic table, its dielectric inertia is so high, that its atomic radius of 143 is less than that of lightweight titanium which is 176, and less still the heavier polonium 190 and lead 154. It sits immediately between extremely toxic lead and thallium on one side, and extremely radioactive, extremely short-lived, astronomically rare and virtually non-existent polonium and astatine on the other side, of which less than 100 grams per year of polonium are created, and only created resultant to bombardment of bismuth with high energy protons and neutrons. While virtually four times the atomic mass of iron, it has an atomic radius of 143 to irons 156.

Online or book investigation will not divulge the relative picture of bismuth, and its special ‘seat’ on the periodic table, being so unlike its neighbors. Resting between extremely toxic and incredibly rare and radioactive polonium with a mere handful of days of half life, and astatine with a mere 8 hour half life, bismuth is so stable that its half life is 20 billion billion years, infinitely longer than the calculated age of the universe! Additionally, sitting on the periodic table, stable, non-toxic in its pure form, and so incredibly non-radioactive it is virtually inert denotatively, it rests between both the extreme incredible toxicity of lead and thallium, and the incredibly rare and worse still dangerous and unstable radioactive polonium and astatine. Thallium is so deadly, mere handling proves fatal and it was at one time used as a poisoning agent of animals and of murderers. Literally in the middle of hell and worse hell, is a safe and stable element with incredible dielectric properties some characteristics only recently being uncovered, one of which by myself in experimentation.

did you just rediscover it, or did those same "Boys" pay you a visit too?

No, neither. Im "one of those boys"

Descriptions are not explanations son.


What is KNOWN (seen and described) is not UNDERSTOOD

Descriptions vs. Explanations separate out the wise from the fools.

You should learn this point son.

Ken,
I can't help but consider what value bismuth might have in circuits in terms of negative resistance, given its high dielectric permittivity. Really enjoyed your exposition on it.

Its ODD you just mentioning that, me and a buddy just got off the phone.


We are ordering (price checking now) 1000 to 2000 pounds of bismuth.

worth mentioning : Palmer Craig: Hall Effect Device (Battery, rectifier, amplifier)

The device is called an "electromagnetic detector and amplifier" and consists of a series of bismuth plates stacked in a pile and interlaced with copper wires. The bismuth plates are protected by a coating of sulfur because bismuth, a very brittle substance, is likely to crumble.

[Bob Smith]

Further to my above comments, the question arising for me regarding bismuth crystal's high dielectric permittivity is how it behaves relative to other crystals, such as quartz, for example. We know that quartz is used to amplify energy. Now does quartz cohere dielectricity or does its energy amplification have more to do with a pulse or pressure (in the case of piezoelectricity) causing the crystal's own molecular bonds to release energy. Ya nye znayu

Anyway, I'm no expert on crystals - haven't researched them. However, if bismuth is high in dielectric permittivity, will its crystals perhaps cohere dielectric energy as they are pulsed?

Now here's a strange thought...
Since they changed all the bird shot from lead to bismuth, and bismuth has higher dielectric permittivity... Suppose a hunter shoots two geese. Now these two geese meet up with another goose who accidentally swallows a magnet. Now these three geese decide to fly south. Funny thing though, the geese who have the bismuth pellets lodged in their tissues feel lighter in air than they used to. An ordinary goose would pass it off as an endorphin rush from euphoric anticipation of a warm vacation in the sunny south. But these are Canada Geese - they know something's different. The other goose still has a neodymium magnet lodged in his gizzard. He feels sluggish, and frankly doesn't believe he'll have enough goose juice in him for the trip south. But one day the three old goose pals are flying in tower formation - that is, one above the other, and the neo mag goose is flying with a bismuth-loaded goose above and below. He feels the levitation, and he makes it to Florida. But then an alligator gets him and can't seem to get himself unstuck from the sewer grate in Pompano Beach.
What's the moral of the story?

Edit: And as the goose with the neo in his gizzard succumbs to the alligator's grasp, he blurts out these final words to his bismuth-laden friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAk9...etailpage#t=34
Better get back to work.

What's It Worth: Early Components — Rectifiers - Electronic Products

Selenium rectifiers

One of the more interesting rectifiers was used after World War II. Developed in the 1930s, the selenium rectifier contained a stack of several steel or aluminum plates coated with bismuth or nickel, with a thicker layer of selenium and a halogen element added. Each plate could typically withstand 20 to 22 reverse volts and the voltage rating was easily increased by adding additional plates to the stack at the time of production. Selenium rectifiers were more efficient than vacuum tubes but unfortunately, they had a shorter usable lifespan and could not be easily replaced by the end user. By the 1970s they were replaced by the smaller, more efficient and reliable silicon diode, which was much cheaper to manufacture.

The missing component of why bismuth "is the way it is", its is high dielectric inertia


It kind of startles me that nobody can see the glaringly obvious.


proves same by ALL its attributes, by its crystalline formation, by everything.



Calling bismuth diamagnetic is like saying the sun is hot, .....


.....yeah, ok, but WHY, HOW is it hot?

[TheoriaApophasis]

Need another article now, "Uncovering the missing secrets of Bismuth"


kidding, im killing myself right now on the latest edition.



Heres a 5 pound HUNK O' BISMUTH I just chopped off a 35 pound slab.


This insanely heavy element is a real trip to experiment with.

Bismuth -- Glaringly Obvious

It kind of startles me that nobody can see the glaringly obvious.

I'm pretty much stuck in a rut thinking of practical ways to use bismuth. How about a little kick in the right direction.
