Don't even think about testing this newbees or anyone else as is, there's no way it will work anyway without further discussion and decision-making. It's the most raw of ideas...
It CAN bee a safe, predictable, ghetto method if we work at it together and develope it and test it after discussion, 1st without reagents..adjustments... discuss, repeat repeat discuss.
Please forgive the filesize. dont even know how this will display here.
During
phase one the apparatus is set-up as shown, filled with reagents, de-oxygenated and sealed, water-bath and condensor is filled.
Phase two: application of heat, pressure build-up, stopper is ejected. Hours to leave well alone...
Phase three: work-up and dealing safely with all the products.
>><><><><><><><><<><><><><><><><><><<Problems/unknowns.The most fundemental problem is
suitable materials selection and construction.Water flashing to steam after the stopper is ejected. How best to absorb all this heat energy in a quick orderly fashion without disturbing the P4 too much.
A regular stoppers properties - we may not bee able to theoretically make a design with a regular stopper...although melting would theoretically give the same outcome it would seem, the problem is that it may well melt before our goose is theoretically proverbially cooked.
At phase one we must remove oxygen pre-explosion..uh, I mean reaction.
How does a candle wick or even a few pieces of wood sound?
Method of heating the stainless steel pipe/rxn vessel- Car battery aRc
- A steel bucket filled with sparklerz, and matches + a bit of petrol to get her going purdy.
(I like the sparklers too, but the arc has lots of benefits, including the following problem)
Then again, How will the arc respond to exposure to H2O?? A-OK??
With the sparklers heating we can run test runs and use a suitable m.p metal to see if we have the right temp...and also how the thing will respond relating to steam flashing etc.?
Protecting the bottom of the condensing vessel during the heating stageArc heating, but i wouldnt have a clue how to rig this thing up.
Disposing of the PH3 if aluminium is used as a reducing agent either in part or together with C.
It should bubble off for the most part, but input welcome from all angles, with all these problems, and any new ones that you can think of.
Where the P4 is going to end up post-rxn, and if parts of it are in the main condensing vessel or the stainless steel pipe...this we need to work out, and how much we can manipulate the outcome in this respect.
"Disposing" of the P4 Post-RXNConcave bottom on the condensor? Too much like hard work?
What about making a hole leading to another pipe or vessel so it can be pushed down it with a stick ( or a ten foot barge pole
)
OR
We could react it in place, to what i havent thought about, dont even know if its possible, ask a chemist...
=====================////////////////////////////////===========================Well what do you think?
Edit: ill work on the format
Edit2: Fixed, displays nice.
