Tin can be used as a thermal storage material, because it's safe to handle, it doesn't produce fumes until it's 2600 degrees. So it can be safely melted and heated up to around 300-400 degrees as a heat storage material. While tin itself holds less heat than water per weight, it actually holds more technically when you factor in the phase change. This is because it takes a lot of energy to get tin to go from a solid to a liquid, that heat is contained then within the liquid state, and when that liquid solidifies it changes it's phase and mass releases heat in this process. This is no different than how water also suddenly releases a bunch of heat once it turns into a solid (ice). However water isn't practical for phase change energy storage, as it occurs at such low temperatures. With tin however it will phase change just by it lowering under 230 degrees or so, so it's perfect for using as a heat storage material. In order to build a heat storage unit, you will need a caste iron pot or possible stainless steel pot. Then fill it half full of tin, let's say it's around 8kg of tin. You want an electric element pressed against the bottom of the pot, the same type you would see on an electric stove. Run around 1000w of power through it from maybe solar panels. Make sure the pot is insulated, so you can keep the heat inside, a heat grade silicone sheath with other insulation outside of that would be effective. The solar panels should produce enough energy to make all the tin in the pot go liquid and possibly heat it up to 300 degrees. You can take the insulation sheath off the pot of a night time, and it will release heat and heat a room.
Good video. Im gonna try casting a small object with it tmrw. Hope it does not break since im not sure the torsional stress would be too much for it or not.
I’m not sure about everyday items that are made of pure tin, but some old crockery and plates and stuff is made of pewter, which is metal alloy that can also melt On a stove.
This is the experiment that I'm wanting to try and that I'm prepping for right now. I just need 5gr of 99.9%tin metal Using modern science and fusion to fuse tin and copper into gold isotope 104 I need to stabilize the isotope with 14 neutrons because fusing copper and gold gives you 79 electrons 79 protons only a 104 neutrons which means stabilizing it with 14 neutrons should give us a nice stable 118 isotope if I'm successful with this experiment this could be extremely important for the technological production industry as expensive gold is used in many of their processes for making solid state chips ultimately lowering the cost for future technology in theory this should work with tungsten and Boron and stabilizing it with an extra 13 neutrons
@@Enderol89 ...what joke? Im dead serious The math says it's right and it should be one of the many combinations that should fuse to gold naturally in neutron stars and in supernovas all I'm saying is using my prototype reactor to atomize tin accelerate it and fuse it with Copper to make an isotope of gold with a lower Neutron count and then bombarded with neutrons using a Neutron gun to bring it up to its stable isotope of 118 neutrons, 79 protons and 79 electrons which is the naturally occurring stable isotope of gold found on Earth. Most modern attempts to make gold has been using either bismuth lead or Mercury for the Mercury process is fairly simple but creates a heavier isotope with 122neutrons that will Decay back into Mercury over time the process is as simple as smacking Mercury with a fast-moving Neutron to knock an electron off and turn it into a and turn it into an unstable isotope of mercury that will Decay into a heavy isotope of gold that over further extender time will turn back into Mercury so it's a pretty useless process that they came up with modern days now but that's kind of expected since they're trying to use fission which is taking a heavier element and turning it into a lighter element which is not how gold naturally is made in our universe it's made using fusion taking to lighter elements and fusing them into an isotope of gold that due to the background radiation of a supernova with then turn it into a stable isotope of gold. right now I'm working on building the neutron gun for stabilizing the isotope and redesigning my prototype reactor to optimize it for directional Fusion instead of spherical Fusion check out this Starr mode video if you want to see a working test run of my prototype I was able to obtain high-energy Fusion using 30,000kv at 225watts input into the total System including the vacuum pump at 28 Mercury's of vacuum working on a secondary containment field to stabilize the reaction and looks like I'm building a different configuration for a new prototype to do this experiment with the copper and Tin fusing into gold and also work out a fast burst Neutron source that I can used to quickly stabilize the isotope but first I need to make lead paper so I can Shield that Neutron gun so I'm not just bombarding myself and the room. I'm always serious when it comes to plasma physics particle physics anatomic structures I mainly got this idea while looking at the periodic table to see what elements I can use as a solid aneutronic fuel for my reactor rebuild that I'm trying to get some funding to build a proper shielded reactor with proper materials and accurate analyzing equipment which by the way a full spectrum analyzer goes for around $10,000 for a good one that's accurate. shits expensive I was originally planning on using the garbage prototype that I have to make iridium which is currently more expensive than gold that I would then use to sell and be able to get some better equipment but I've always wanted to try to make gold synthetically so fuck lets go for gold.
and i though i was good at science this guy just solved quantum gravity and unified special relativity with general relativity finally synthesizing the theory of everything, through leaving ted talk level essay comment on irrelevant RU-vid videos. respect.
@@Enderol89 technically it's all theoretical and not proven untill I can get the data and testing done and then have it peer-reviewed. For it to be a proper theory and accepted by the scientific community. All I did was take a long hard look at cosmology and my understanding of Galactic collisions, neutron stars and how they most likely might have fused gold naturally. So By following the speculated natural processes that are used all the time in our universe using them to guide us through the process on a atomic scale. we need to do better study the processes of our universe in order to get a better understanding of plasma and particle physics reaching her and will give us more information about the strong and weak nuclear forces that bind atoms together and how we can advance it, for creating elements and stabilizing the Isotopes for long term study.
@@Enderol89 you're probably better at science then me. all I'm doing is trying to think outside the box with fresh look at it by using more than one box
An old famous mirror in Kerala, "Aranmula mirror" is made by melting lead and copper in specific proportions. A special feature of this type of mirror is that it does not have glass. Its making videos are available on RU-vid. 😺👍💥
Would a stove burner will work. Not any gas stove. But a mini stove burner fully electric. Not a stove or gas. Just burner. Will that be able to melt aluminum cans. Metal. Using it. Yh I know it's for cooking but can an electric stove burner. Work for metal Melting.
any should be fine but if it has a coating you should let it heat on max heat for a while to burn it off, so the metal wont start a fire when you melt it and also the pan shouldn't be used for anything but metal melting then cause it could be dangerous for food.
unfortunately not, soda cans are made from aluminum, which melts at a much higher temperature then tin. At about 660.3 °C, which most stoves cannot reach.
