who knows their periodic table?

[austing458]

who can tell me what this pen is made out of?

if no one gets it in a few days i will post a hint .......

good luck

I THINK IT'S MADE OF "UNOBTAINIUM"-----Do chemistry professors all eat lunch at the periodic table?

 

[Oldwagon]

Carbon.Just a guess.Todd

 

[JBCustomPens]

Copper. Nice pen.

 

[Mark]

Niobium? IDK if that is even possible. The description works.

Hey Austin, Greetings from GR.
I'm thinking Mg would be pretty crazy. How about Vanadium, nope that's toxic. I give up.

I found several too, that the description worked, but it mentioned they were toxic. I figured that you wouldn't use a toxic product in your pen.

It's a cool color though....

Uranium !!! Your hand glows in the dark instead of the pen :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

 

[maxwell_smart007]

Molybdenum? Tungsten?

I think it's something softer, actually, so I'm going with Anodized Aluminum

 

[thewishman]

Pb is my guess.

 

[drjpawlus]

I would say cobalt.

 

[snyiper]

Lead.

 

[ivoverstraelen]

6 AL/4V Titanium
anodized around 100V ?

Did you know that the word cyanoacrylate (CA) has "cyano ... " as its' prefix? That's because it is closely related to the word "cyanide" which used to be used in execution gas chambers.

well, to my surprise, Todd got it close enough that ill call it.

it's made of carbon graphite, it's usually used in an EDM machine (Electrical Discharge Machining) good job.

this stuff turned a lot better than i thought it was gonna but if you are going to try it, don't wear a nice white shirt when doing it.....
(also wear a good painters mask.)
BTW can anyone give me any good ideas for putting a finish on it because since it is graphite(the more popular "pencil lead") it still rubs off a little. thanks and good job again Todd (guess or not)

I wonder what efferct would thin CA have on sealing it?

 

[Chuck Key]

it's made of carbon graphite

Where is that on the periodic table?

Where is that on the periodic table?

graphite is a form of carbon and it is on the right side, second row down in column 14 or 2 to the right

[austing458]

also any thoughts on polishing it?

thanks

 

[Gin N' Tonic]

convoluted line of thinking

Graphite is a form of carbon and carbon is "C" on the periodic table. Graphite is commonly used in pencils and referred to as "Lead". Lead is on the table "PB" so it's all there for everyone to see :bulgy-eyes:

 

[Wood Butcher]

I was gonna guess Slimline.

 

[austing458]

well you too are correct it is a 24k gold slimline kit which is Au on the periodic table (it's in the middle)
slimline (Sl) very last material on the table (at the bottom)

OIC, like diamonds are on the table.

 

[austing458]

exactly......diamonds are made of carbon and so is graphite.......

 

[austing458]

would polyurethane work as a finish for this pen?

thanks.....

 

[WineWorkerAdamC]

I would say Lead (Pb) or Zinc (Zn).
