A little light light....
Divided he ad:
Dek, Wasn't having a go.
Just a statement about me avoiding the nasties! My personal choice. I have many friends who fell into the "trap"
We've discussed this a little.... Each to there own. As long as they don't try to force it on me I rarely worry bout it.
:thumbup:
Ralph.
Deko:
No problem there Ralph, i could not afford to hand em round these days anyway. :lol:
Cheers Dek.

When the battery goes, they should double up as a nice emergency flare!
Where did you get that Ralph? We have it at work but only in small strips and certainly not as a bar.
I`m no net nannyas we are all responsible for our own actions but just wanted to ask/point out - is there any chance of anything sparking or even the Mg getting hot enough when turning to ignite? :zap:
Yet again, you have amazed me.
Divided he ad:
No worries Dek :thumbup:
John, Glad you like it :) And as for the burning. Chris, this is for you too...
Found on the "magnesium.com" forum... from an Ilya Ostrovsky.... in reply to a question about laptop cases being dangerous!!
"
Your "someone" has completely wrong opinion about flammability of magnesium.
Magnesium is safe not only in laptops, but also in an aircraft. The flammability of magnesium was studied and tested in FP6 AEROMAG. This information is available for public and was presented on several conferences, as well as on recent FAA meeting.
Furthermore, flammability resistance of magnesium can be improved by application of special alloys and/or special protective coatings.
!In case of laptop, where simple AZ91 without special coating is used, the ignition may happen at temperature about 550-560C.
I have a lot of doubts that somebody works with laptop in so high temperature.
Regarding battleship, it is probably a kind of science fiction. Magnesium was used during WWII in military aircrafts as well as later in military aviation.
I do not have any information about magnesium battleships. Even today, magnesium is not used in battleships hull. The main reason is corrosion.
Any way, every battleship or military aircraft has enough dangerous explosives. Magnesium really is not issue in this case.! "
This is not obviously irrefutable but it does reference other materials which you can view. (I choose not too TBH)
I also was working in a workshop at 3 deg C!!
It didn't get hot at all really, I was clearly mindful of the material as I did know of it's volatile nature, kept an eye on the temperature at regular intervals :thumbup:
The bar Chris.... Erm, fell off the back of a plane!?!
Ralph.
