wow that is truly amazing
I'd love to play with that!!!
So if you were to submerge kleenex in that...will it come out still useable?
in other words, can porous material absorb & retain the "dry water"? |

From the looks of it, no.
Take a look at thepictures of the book. |

I'd imagine that it'd be non-toxic (they seem to handle the material without any adverse affects...)
But that is frickin' cool either way... |

Yea, this stuff was on slashdot a while ago.. Its pretty interesting stuff. it was originally designed to be a fire supressant, but its 46c boiling point seems to be less usefull for that purpose..
People were thinkin about using that for computer cooling.. Submerging all the non moving parts into that stuff, and just chilling it.. Sounds like a good mod to me ;)

| Unbelievable what they r discovering/inventing these days. |

| it probably wouldn't be the best thing in the world to drink, but i'll pay you 20 to drink it. i bet it will have some very violent reactions with the human body. it will probably dehydrate you like drinking salt water, but what do i know i'm not the mad scientist who invented it.... i wonder what it tastes like? |

i bet your body wont absorb and process it, but ill chip a buck in on the you-drinking-it fund :)
very cool shit tho, i want some |

wow
one thing i don't understand..it doesn't feel wet apparently..and it does not stick to any surface? once it is doused on a fire, etc..how do you clean it up? apparently it does not soak onto anything..the book was submurged but did not hold any of the liquid on the way out...its as if it is nothing in essence.. |
|
|
| BlueTurboEGG |
Perhaps they collect it somehow and reuse it...
But I imagine that it would evaporate like any other liquid. |

| since I was bored and had a couple minutes to spare I went to 3Ms site and checked out the MSDS on this stuff and it says there is no serious health effects to drinking it. But you are supposed to have to glasses of water it you "accidently" ingest it |
|
|
| dogstar |
so kinda like i said, your body wont absorb it, and you NEED to flush it through manually.
wheres a guy buy shit like that, itd be awesome for party jokes...
"fuck i hate this cell phone, im gonna dunk it in a glass of water..."
then once its in there, have your friend call it, pull her out and answer. |

| Could be usefull if your place is on fire........ just chuck all your valuables in it if you house lights up. Then go collect them later on... :lol: :lol: |

| One question I have is whether or not it can conduct electricity. I realize it doesn't short out the electronics, but is this fluid still able to pass a current? |

I figure it doesn't. Water can, since ppl are electrocuted when electric items are added into the equation. This stuff mustn't be, if it was shouldn't the guy that put the laptop or tv into this liquid have been nicely shocked!?!? :dunno: |

if it was able to pass a current..it would be conducting..if it were conducting..it would be able to pass a current |

| If it conducts, it would short out that LCD screen submerged in the stuff... |

| You would think.......... |
|
|
| DomesticDrifter |
| water conducts because of its polar nature and because of the electrolites dissocated in it. its very possible if the liquid is a non polar pure substance that it wont conduct. but who knows i slept though chem 101. |

| So does this stuff bead off items? Does it just not bond to anything? Im really curious what it is, and how they came across it. It has so much potential for so many uses!:bthumbup: Is it like pure teflon or something?:p |
