Do you like hot water? Are you a tea drinker? Or do you like making hot ramen or other products? Tired of having to wait to boil water on the stove? Rejoice, good friend, since now the old days of having to fill a pot and watch it boil are over. With the Cuisinart DK-17 Cordless Stainless Steel Electric Kettle, you can get piping hot water in minutes, rather than spending what seems like hours over a hot flame. Today we’ll be going over the top reasons you should get this awesome device, and how it will change your life! At least, the hot water parts of your life, anyway. Cuisinart DK-17 Features Stainless Steel When it comes to electric kettles, there are usually three types of material you can pick. The first is plastic, which has the risk of leaching harmful chemicals into your water and stinking up your house. The second is glass, which is fine, but it doesn’t retain heat as the best material: stainless steel. The DK-17 is made almost entirely of stainless steel, which means it will last longer, heat up faster, and there’s no risk of harmful chemicals getting into your water. Simply put, stainless steel is the best way to go, so why not go with the DK-17? 1500 Watt Heating Element The biggest reason to use an electric kettle is that it’s so much faster and more convenient than a stovetop version. The DK-17 has a 1500 watt heating element, which can bring your water to a boil in just a couple minutes, even if you have filled the pot all the way. Most kettles come with…

Back in 1778, a Swedish chemist named Carl Wilhelm Scheele found Molybdenum in Sweden. At first, Molybdenite was originally thought to be graphite. (Molybdenite is the principal ore in which Molybdenum is now separated from. Molybdentie was previously know as Molybdena.) Molybdenite was confused with graphite. Like graphite, it could be used to darken surfaces or can even serve as a solid lubricant. However, Carl Wilhelm Scheele was not convinced that it was graphite. Upon further…

There are two major mining companies in Colorado. The Henderson Mine in Empire, Colorado and the Cresson Mine is located in Victor, Colorado. The Henderson Mine produced the mineral molybdenum. The Cripple Creek & Victor Mine produces the mineral gold. Cripple Creek & Victor mine is Colorado’s largest gold mine. The Henderson Mine was founded in 1976 and operated by Climax Molybdenum Company. It has produced 770 million pounds of molybdenum since opening. The mine annual revenue is unknown, but…

According to Sprawls (2013: Online) the x-beam tube anode is distinctive in mammo’s though most x-beam tubes utilize tungsten as the anode material, mammography gear utilizes molybdenum anodes or in a few plans, a double material anode with an extra rhodium track. These materials are utilized in light of the fact that they deliver a trademark radiation range that is near ideal for breast imaging, this complies with the ALARA principle even though the energy of the x-ray beam is low, the manner…

catalyst performance, there was a very limited amount of research into the topic. Because of the relative simplicity of this reaction, normally there are few wasted products. The reaction requires a metal catalyst to have efficient performance, usually including Tungsten, Molybdenum(VI) and Ruthenium(II) [2-3] The work of Grubbs, Chauvin and Schrock awarded them a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2005. Ruthenium Catalyst The original Ruthenium Catalyst consisted of hydrated RuCl3 – the catalyst did…

measurements of the temperature dependence of the electrical resistance of samples of rare earth molybdenum bronzes LaMo16O44 and NdMo16O44, and with corresponding magnetometry measurements, we have observed signatures of weak magnetic interactions between Mo8O36 nanocubes in these arrayed superatom materials systems. We identify the onset of a magnetic crossover at around 6.5 K in LaMo16O44 and at a higher temperature in NdMo16O44, where magnetic hysteresis is observable in the…

process increases the efficiency of electrical conductivity in the silicon which is an essential feature for the electronics industry (including; video cameras, and air conditioning units). The reaction is as follows: Medical radioisotopes are also created at ANSTO, Technetium-99m is the most important, since it is used in 80% of nuclear medical scans, detecting disease in lungs, brain, blood and skeleton. Technetium-99m is an isomer of Technetium-99 and is produced by bombarding…

In one experiment by Jim Richards, whilst trying to separate tellurium 132 and iodine 132, the iodine was found to be contaminated by Tc-99m. After many other experiments, he discovered that the parent element molybdenum 99 (Mo-99) when absorbed in aluminium oxides left the radioisotope of Tc-99m. Richard found that the Tc-99m provided excellent properties to be used for nuclear imaging, as the half-life of six hours did minimal damage to tissue. With the gamma cameras already being used for the…

technetium is radioactive and decays which produce a new element. Technetium is not found naturally on Earth, but tiny amounts have been found in certain stars. The element is classified as a transitional metal. Technetium got its name from the Greek word technetos meaning artificial. There had been a gap between molybdenum (element 42) and ruthenium (element 44). Dmitri Mendeleev predicted where the element would fit into the periodic table. He predicted this element would be chemically…

Chalk River Nuclear in northern Ontario is a nuclear facility that is responsible for 10% of the world’s supply in medical radioisotopes. This creates a high demand for the Canadian facility to export its product which leads to revenue. However, it along with a plant in Norway that also accounts for a large portion of worldwide supply are being shut down. If scientists working at the plants could find ways to stockpile these isotopes, shortages could be avoided. The reactors are also involved in…
