So, after all this, what am I, Jack, willing to go on "official record" and say to you. Chastize me if you wish! Here it is--The understanding of the existence of vastsubcrystalline deposits of metals will revolutionize mining in the near future if the technology is developed to exploit them. They are vast, they are not well understood, and they will change all our lives!! Jack R. Smith Jr. September 26, 1997 ------------------------------------------------------------- ok. Well I just dropped in from the planet venus and I have a venusian question for you. What is the bond work index of the silicate matter that encases these nano-clusters of Pt and what are the horsepower hours per ton to grind the metal out of its host? For your info the hp per hour for one ton of silicate matter to be ground to 80 microns is 24. Energy to grind increases as the square of the mesh size. So to go to 40 microns requires 96 hp hours per ton. The nano cluster of 145 atoms might be about 20 millionths of a millimetre. So the mesh size is 1/50 of a micron. So that is 11 times smaller. Requiring 121 times the power or 11,616 hp hours per ton. Where you gonna get all that juice?
