Heidi Doe De Doe/ My Silicon based petroleum/Adams

05/03/2013 10:09 PM

Awhile back ago I had CR4 if there was a Silicon based petroleum yet because I think that it would be a very versatile product anywhere from Aeronautics, windows on aircraft for even NASA because a silicon based petrolum with super duper fine sand at the right temperature would allow an aircraft to sustain high altitudes at a very fast rate, it would provide even distribution of varying temperatures as you gain altitude, the structural consistency you really couldn't ask for anything better due to its durability and flexibility. Cool Stuff!!!! I love silicon because it is 2nd in the atomic scale, it has a DIAMOND structure, AND HAS A COVALENT BOND. What more could you want? I also believe it would be a hell of a sound barrier to per say a sonic boom. If we could create a bubble like atmosphere around whatever whether it be an aircraft or whatever I think that it could be done using the right magnetic pull we totally could control that product and an aircraft probably could burst right through that "bubble" and for that split little second it would allow a good barrier! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING

Check it I don't like the comments that you have to say what compels you to say anything of that nature? You don't know me? I'm curious and I always have things on my mind that I want to know about. Isn't this site for that specific purpose to get feed back and all you do is say some pretty messed things, thanks for trying to cut a person down but guess what your pathetic self just does it to make you feel better about your own life. Wow that makes you sound like a real good person, more like a waste.

This seems very Sasha Baron Cohen aka Borat aka Ali G..... specifically the Ali G character.

Someone is trolling hard here and they are at least strongly influenced by 'Ali G'.

" I love silicon because it is 2nd in the atomic scale" ???? What scale? It is #14 on the periodic table. Have they not discovered 12 lighter elements where your from? It is 8th in abundance in the universe.

What are you talking about?

Wait, it is the 2nd semi-metal behind Moron Boron #5, that must be what you are talking about.

Sorry I was confused for a second sometimes I get a worked up and maybe should reread what I type and thank you yes that is what I was thinking of as far as #2 behind semi-metal boron #5 I got scrambled around sometimes it happens and sometimes I don't always think of the proper wording as far as the Atomic Scale, but yeah the periodic table is what I was talking about, thanks for getting my gist. And no I'm not talking about getting silicon from petroleum, because for every 1 cubic mile of sea water there is 15,000 tons of silicon and it has to be spun and heat to ~25.086 degrees F and then creates a crystal like wafer. So what I wanna know is there a way to have a silicon based petroleum???? And yeah sometimes I get going and thinking way to much instead of keeping it simple like I just did here. So my apologies.

Why not Google, "silicon based petroleum" and see what comes up?

Or, do you crave the "personal touch"?

How old are you? I'm assuming that you are less than 12 years old, and maybe searching for some type of validation?

If making petroleum from silicon doesn't work out for you, maybe you can try making petroleum from unobtainium, I know where you can get some from right here on CR4.

"I think that it would be a very versatile product anywhere from Aeronautics, windows on aircraft "

If I am not mistaken, windows are made out of glass, right? Glass is made from.......melted sand.....silicon! Wow! Maybe you ARE on to something here... about 5000 years too late.

I don't know. Only a total loser would waste their time publishing this demonstration of their total ignorance for all to see.

There seems to be a certain "quality" about this poster. Unfortunately, it is not an endearing quality.

The covalent bonding of silicone based petroleum windows is dependant upon how many zeros are in a Brazillian...

I wish, just for your comment, a third rating option were available.... because what you wrote is Brazilliant!

Imagination has its place. Imagination using facts and knowledge might be called inspiration. Lucky accidents even has a place in the creation of certain products. But imagination without understanding is surly a formula for disaster.

The first submarines were death traps for those who failed to understand the principles of buoyancy and compression of air verses depth. Just wanting for something to work does not make it so.

Heidi Etchey, you would find a much better and more serious reception here at CR4 if you did a few things:

1. Take some time to condense your question into a brief, coherent query rather than a rambling, free-flowing flood of expression that wanders all over the place. Your ideas may be cool and amazing, but you still need to be able to express them so that we can grasp the coolness.

2. Check your facts and how they're stated so that you don't look like an idiot for giving totally incorrect information.

3. Work on your grammar and break the run-on sentences down into shorter sentences and paragraphs so that we can pick out the main point(s).

4. Do a little research on your own to find out if your question has already been answered somewhere else, before asking people who seriously want to help someone who's lost or stuck. We get quite impatient with a person who won't lift a finger to try to figure it out for themselves first.
