Ken, When I was a kid and tried making black powder using sulphur, saltpeter and charcoal I discovered the magnesium rod and used a file to get a lot of raspings from it. I combined them with the black powder. Whew, does it ever get more powerful!

The purpose is to allow any electrochemical currents available to the system to dissolve the magnesium (higher electornegativity than either Iron or copper) instead of the tank or piping, that are the def acto cathode.

It's just a tank with a dimpled exhaust pipe running up the center and a flame underneath. Tanks are glass lined..confirmed. It's a pain in the neck to make other things like wood stoves out of water heater tanks. Having attempted to repair many old copper water pipes, it's not uncommon to find them so thin they have to be replaced. Not sure why. Usually it's good mineral free well water run through them. Mineral high water generally encrusts the inside. ode At 02:38 PM 2/2/2004 -0500, you wrote: >>>> James Holmes wrote: The sacrificial anode in both gas and electric fired water heaters is made of mostly magnesium. True. Being more electrically active, it corrodes in place of the steel tank. But most hot water heaters are glass lined. So I have understood this.

It has tungsten in it I believe, but should be fully encased in a ceramic. Since he specifies electric hot water heater, that is the only thing that is there in addition to what a gas one would have.

"Do not use the hot water from an electric hot water heater for cooking or drinking. It has tungsten. Do not drink water that sits in glazed crock ware (the glaze seeps toxic elements like cadmium) like some water dispensers have. Do not buy water from your health food store that runs through a long plastic hose from their bulk tank (I always see cesium picked up from flexible clear plastic). Also ask them how and when they clean their tank. Best is to observe that it is done with non-toxic methods. If your house is more than 10 years old, change all the galvanized pipe to PVC plastic. Although PVC is a toxic substance, amazingly, the water is free of PVC in three weeks! If your house has copper pipes don't wait for cancer or schizophrenia to claim a family member. Change all the copper pipe to PVC plastic immediately. If the pipes are not accessible, ask a plumber to lay an extra line, outside the walls. This is less expensive, too. If you have a water softener, by-pass it immediately and replace the metal pipe on the user side of the softener tank. Softener salts are polluted with strontium and chromate; they are also full of aluminum. The salts corrode the pipes so the pipes begin to seep cadmium into the water. After changing your pipes to plastic, there will be so little iron and hardness left, you may not need a softener. If the water comes from a well, consider changing the well-pipe to PVC to get rid of iron. While the well is open, have the pump checked for ! PC! BS. Call the Health Department to arrange the testing. If you must have softening after all this, check into the new magnetic varieties of water softener (although they only work well when used with plastic plumbing)."- <http://www.drclark.net/info/home.htm>http://www.drclark.net/info/home.htm "Dr. Clark started the meeting by stating the she was very happy and that she wanted to share some of her latest findings with us and also that she needed our help. Dr. Clark is very concerned about our municipal water supply in the United States. She has found 5 substances in our water that can inhibit the immune system and feels this contributes largely to diseases such as Cancer and AIDS. Full recovery from either Cancer or AIDS is likely only with pure, unpolluted water to drink. For those of us not suffering from such conditions, our livers and kidneys can filter out some of these pollutants for a while, but we would eventually be at risk also. The five substances polluting our water that she is most concerned about are PCBs, benzene, asbestos, azo dyes, and heavy metals. The worst pollutant seems to be azo dyes (there are at least 18 of them). Dr. Clark has not found a way to remove them from the body. The most likely source for PCBs, benzene and azo dyes may well be common laundry bleach. The main ingredient (sodium hypochlorite) is not the problem. The additives (brighteners and whiteners) and solvents are the problem. To verify this she needs us to send water samples to her for testing. At the end of this message is a detailed instruction about how to collect water samples. She would also like us to see if there are pumping stations separate from the main water plant and if so take a picture of it and send it with the water sample. She suspects that the source of the pollution may not be the main facility, but may instead be the outlying pumping stations. I strongly encourage all of you to help Dr. Clark a! nd! send water samples to her! Until the problem can be found and corrected at the source, there are a few procedures you can do to protect yourself if you have municipal water. First boil the tap water (a rolling boil for at least 1 minute) to remove the chlorine, PCBs and benzene and then once cool, filter it using a carbon filter to remove the heavy metals. PCBs can clog water filters and make contamination worse if boiling is not done. Drinking bottled water is usually not a good solution either, as bleach or other solvents are often used to clean the bottles and equipment at the plant. Well water may be all right so long as the well is not drilled using laundry bleach to disinfect the drill. Dr. Clark has also found the same immune destroyers present in many of our supplements. Apparently laundry bleach is used to disinfect equipment at the plant too. So it is best to only take supplements that are tested for such pollutants." <http://www.drclark.net/news/ezine030805.htm>http://www.drclark.net/news/ezine030805.htmCheers,-Ken Bagwell ---------- Do you Yahoo!?
