Here’s an Odd Pic of the Shiny

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago

Was making some silver shot for the first time ever by pouring molten silver over... an ice bath.

These are the bigger chunks... technically a pouring error because it’s not shot.

I did tumble them for fun... broke ‘em apart a bit.

When you have a pouring error like this, can you melt the chunks again to reuse the silver, or is this it?

Silver is a basic element. This it's solid form. I melted it, changing it's phasd to liquid, but I did not boil it so it didn't vaporize. Except for nuclear reactions matter can't be created or destroyed (freshman physics). So yeah, it's reusable

Thank you for your answer. I wasn't sure if you put some other chemical(s) in silver for pouring, that's why I asked. It's great that you can reuse it. That way, if you know that even a mistake won't result in wasting material (and therefore money), you can freely experiment and learn without worry about resources (other than time, but that's part of learning).

It looks like you've been having fun!

Absolutely. Just wish there was more free time ;-)

I have been theorizing the use of Silver shot exactly like this in the Therapeutic treatment of Stackitis. How? Similar to Ink blot tests used by specialists in assessment of abstract thinking capacity. Wouldn't that be cool?

Too bad the Nobel Prize in medicine was already awarded this year otherwise you’d have a real shot.

If they paid the Prize reward in Steem I would be interested and it would certainly boost my study of this disease in a broader and more comprehensive scope.
So what does the big rear center piece look like to you?

You got the Idea!
Now Isn't Medicine with Stacking FUN!
That's how I see it.

Looks like an experiment in silver pouring...

In my point of view, if one learns from one's actions, then everything is an experiment.

I actually think that's amazing looking. Good error!

Beautiful design 👍👏
