Ill try to sim a bit this weekend when i have a bit more time. But im glad we start agreeing. Ill try to post tomorrow some extra thoughts about hydrogen, im really tired this night.

Hydrogen:
-Discovered by Boyle at XVII but it wasnt until 100 years later when Cavendish said that gas was aan unknown sustance, an inflamable gas called phlogiston. After 20 years more, Lavoisier discovered that if you burn that gas it was water the final product so he called it "Hydro-gen" (generator of water). (to be continued the history of "phlogiston") -Obtention: there is several ways to get hydrogen, one of the easiest is using some strong acid and some metals. (for instance aluminum and salfuman (HCl), it also works with Sulfuric acid) Be careful with doing at home since it can explote. But in the industry the best way to do it is by electrolysis of water, so that you get oxigen and hydrogen. For miguelito proposal of house experiments. There is a couple of videos that you can see to make it. I wouldnt do it with kids, since hydrogen is really explosive, but everything with care is doable. This is really short, but not really well explained. Also the first reaction written is not well written. Its H2 what is formed not just H. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX0uslHPBKo This one is better explained but a bit too long i would say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlDogvl_TZQ This is making it with electrolisis instead of chloridric acid. But he explain too much about electrolisis. The hydrogen part starts in min 12:52. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z3_0bElwCk -Uses: It would be great to use it as fuel for engines. It would be great since it wouldnt pollute at all the air, since the only chemestry product is H20, which i would say its not harmfull for the enviroment xD. But there is several problems, first one its much more expensive than petrol derivates, its also more dangerous. And the most curious for this chapter of chemestry facts: The molecule of Hydrogen is so small that it can overstep the space between atoms of metals, so you cant hold hydrogen in tanks since every second you lose much of it. Right now the best way is adsorbe the molecules in some special surfaces of some special and expensive metals like Platinum or Paladium, it still overstep the tank, but much less. the problem of this method is that those tanks are soooo heavy, and really unables the use for transport. All these loses makes the hydrogen even more expensive. Right now scientist are trying to use some nanotubes of carbon to adsorbe Hydrogen with better yields and during more time, with lighter tanks. Right now there is some researching about using this Hydrogen produced during night when the electricity is much cheaper, to react with carbon dioxide to make methane and move that methane into the cities for the boilers of the houses. Im not sure if this is comon in other places but the mayority of the people of Spain, uses this methane (we call it "gas ciudad"-> "city gas") for the boilers of the houses for either warm water and heating of the house. I hope its clear enough, if you want to know any further information just ask

Yeah yeah. And now you are trying to shift blame on these poor physicists. :P

I decided to look for Their capitol but it might be a bad option, but we already know the second sport or even the third so im not like in much rush for the first couple of circles. I think moving scout next turn 2E.
Ill need to sim this weekend, ill try to post my plans so you can see them
So yeah we are pretty close.
Fabled has pigs and gold in 3rd ring, which makes me really disapointed, if our gold was contested (but maybe is the 3rd ring of another player???) Does it have a juicy food source too? On the scouting i feel going to his gold and start circling towards north, is that too much? should we turn straight north now? Not much change in demos |
