Thermal 0
April 21, 1992 |
Beta decay shows 18.5 hour half
life |
This formula had no silver. Joe indicated
that this is not the correct recipe. |
|
Thermal I
April 30, 1992 |
Two times increase in Pt was observed.
The sample was cuppeled 6 times and one of the six showed Au and Pt 148 ppm
and 167 ppm. |
Bonder Clag result showed concentration
effect. One out of six done a TAMU showed increase in Au and Pt. |
|
Thermal II
May 22, 1992 |
250 => 450 ppm of gold present
in the (final) product. An increase in Pd was observed too. |
Experiment done in the present of
Joe (Joe Champion) and Monti (Roberto Monti) Analysis done by South Africa,
Chemax Laboratories and TAMU. |
|
Thermal III
May 27, 1992 |
The weight of the bead from chemical
mixture with Hg was 3 - 4 times bigger than without Hg. |
No further analysis was done because
the (before sample) mineral contained no gold or silver. |
|
Thermal IV
May 30, 1992 |
A large amount of gold about 1,700
ppm (of mineral sand) was found. Ore contained 4.34 ppm of Ag and 1,46 ppm
of Au as analysis sent by Action Mining. |
This is calculated with respect to
(the weight of) ore not the total mixture. It is five times less in relation
to total mixture. Experiment with Joe and Monti present. |
|
Thermal V
June 7, 1992 |
The gold concentration found in the
product was about 178 ppm (corresponding to raw material). |
This was a repeat of Thermal II and
Joe and Monti present. |
|
Thermal VI
June 8, 1992 |
No gold was found in both experiments
(with and without Hg in the raw material). |
The Au and Ag distribution in the
mineral may not of be uniform. Done by Lin. |
|
Thermal VII
June 10, 1992 |
Same recipe as in Thermal II and
V. The mixture became half after firing. No formation of extra gold. |
Experiment done by Lin, Bhardwaj
and Minevski. Only concentration effect. Samples analyzed by Chemax Laboratory.
Joe and Monti not present. |
|
Thermal VIII
June 23, 1992 |
Same recipe as in Thermal II and
V. Doubling of Au. No formation of extra gold. |
Experiment done by Lin, Bhardwaj
and Minevski. Only concentration effect. Samples analyzed by Chemax Laboratory.
Joe and Monti not present |
|
Thermal IX
June 24, 1992 |
Same recipe as in Thermal II and
V. Doubling of Au. |
Experiment done by Lin, Bhardwaj
and Minevski. Only concentration effect. Samples analyzed by Chemax Laboratory.
Joe and Monti not present |
|
Thermal X
July 12, 1992 |
Same recipe of as Thermal II and
V. The gold was 0.6 ppm in solution of 50ml which is equivalent of 0.3 ppm
in total mixture of 1615 g. |
Experiment done by Bhardwaj and Monti.
Analysis done by ICP in soil science department after cuppeling. |
|
Thermal XI
August 21, 1992 |
Same recipe as Thermal; II and IV.
Sample given for gamma radiation to cyclotron laboratory. |
Done by Dr. Lin. Small gamma radiation
was detected using giga detector. Increase from 30 cpm to 60-70 cpm. Gamma
showed no signal. |
|
Thermal XIB
October 27, 1992 |
Same recipe as Thermal II. Gamma
records showed no gamma detected. |
Done by Lin with person from Savannah
River |
. |
Thermal XII
(No date) |
Same recipe as Thermal II. This was
for beta detection. The beta was 1.56/sec before ignition and 1.78/sec after
ignition. |
Beta was detected by Dr. Lin and
Bhardwaj. No significant increase in beta. Sample analyzed by Chemax Laboratory.
Result less than 1 ppm |
|
Thermal XIII
November 3, 1992 |
Sample recipe of Thermal II. The
product after ignition is 841 grams The analysis done by dissolving the powder
directly in aqua regia shows 0 ppm of gold. |
Beta counting was recorded by Bhardwaj
and Lin for 3 days with half life time about 20-23 hours. Chemax Laboratory
analysis before ignition 0.031 ppm and after 0,095 ppm. Analysis done at
TAMU shows 0.085 ppm after ignition. |
|
Thermal XIV
December 6, 1992 |
Same recipe as Thermal II and V.
Direct analysis of powder before and after in aqua regia shows zero
gold. |
Done by Bhardwaj and Lin. Chemax
Laboratory analysis shows no gold. Cuppeling by Bhardwaj shows 0.09 ppm
gold |
|
THERMAL XV
December 16, 1992 |
Same as Thermal IV. |
Chemax analysis shows doubling of
Au and Pt. No extra gold or Pt formed. |
|
Thermal XVI
January 6, 1993 |
Patel Formula |
Total 5.16 grams of silver bead was
recovered after cuppeling. Dissolved in nitric acid. 0.45 milligram of gold
was found. The before sample is given for nuclear activation analysis. |
