Hey guys,
I'm on a bit of a time crunch here, I have to have everything buy Wednesday (10/27). I've been asked to give a presentation on food in the classroom at a meeting on Wednesday. What I normally like to do is a demonstration involving a Flameless heater. I just use the same technique as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flameless_ration_heater" . Mg + 2H20 -> Mg(OH)2 + H2 . Usually I just buy some magnesium, or magnesium + aluminum online, however with my time crunch I don't really have the ability this time. So what I'd like to know is if A) Anyone knows of a place in Florida locally to get Magnesium, and B) Can I make magnesium from anything? I've read up on that homedepot sometimes offers magnesium/calcium for use in concrete. There is also "lime", where is a calcium/magnesium mix. Is there any easy way to separate the calcium out? Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks!
