    Moon Experiment: Laser Beam & Telescope for New Moon Phase

    Hello, i am going to buy a laser and a telescope powerful enough to see the laser spot on the moon. The lunar phase i choose for the experiment is New Moon, for obvious reasons. When i move the laser, i should see the light spot move on the moon surface after about 2.5 seconds, due to the light...

    Can Rotating Magnets Create a Stronger Magnetic Field?

    hello, i have a doubt i bought some small neodimium magnets 8x3mm and now i would like to try some experiments with them i have a doubt: if i rotate one of these magnet around one of its parallel axis, very fast , near 1000000 rpm, what happens to the magnetic field produced by the magnet? if...

    Chemical/Paint How to make a tin chloride solution

    this is the question :) perhaps to know the concentration in percent i need to know the mass of 1L of the 2M solution... i can guess...380g is 6% of (380/0.06)g = 6333g so i have to add 6333 - 380 = 5953g water, that is about 6L water. So total volume is 6Lwater+380g tin chloride..i don't know...

    Chemical/Paint How to make a tin chloride solution

    Thank you very much for the answer yes, you are right, i did a mistake, i wrote 50cl, but it was 50ml. About my project: 2M solution is very concentrated, this is needed only to melt tin. To sensitize the plastic i need lower concentrations: - an author suggests to make a 0.003M solution and...

    Chemical/Paint How to make a tin chloride solution

    i need this solution to try to do silvering of a plastic surface for my hobby project the tin solution in this case will be used as 'sensitizer', i.e. it willbe used to prepare the surface to be silvered... i have only a scholastic background, not a professional/expert background thank you for...

    Chemical/Paint How to turn glass into a mirror

    thank you yes, i found that the tin chloride solution is used to enhance the adesion, it is a 'sensitizer' and to have better results, the object surface must be covered with a wetting agent (a surfactant) before applying the tin chloride solution. about this solution, i found some methods to...

    Chemical/Paint How to turn glass into a mirror

    hi to all, i have some questions about glass silvering; i found this procedure: 1) make a solution (A) with 1.4 gr silver nitrate + 17gr water then, add to the solution 1.2gr of ammonia 26% solution 2) make a solution (B) with 9.2 gr potassium bitartrate + 4gr sodium carbonate + 17gr water 3)...
