H²O, rather than pure molybdenum (Mo).
If the alleged resultant
gel was the product of the breakdown of this molecular compound, the % of molybdenum would be considerably lower since molybdenum makes up only 14% of this compound which constitutes only 2-10% of Water Wetter - we wou7ld expect amounts in the 1%-1.7% range . If there is more in the Spectral analysis, where did it come from? You cannot point only to the mere presence of Molybdenum and say "
There you go..." - you need to validate the amount, especially if the analysis shows a greater quantity than is possible from your suspect additive. Where did all this excess Mo come from?
The Sodium (Na) (28% of the compound) is absent unless you want to make the case that it was transformed into Sodium Bicarbonate (Natrium - CAS# 144-55-8) if you can explain the process to me whereby the Sodium is not only released from the Na2MoO4, but also found the necessary Free Oxygen and Free Hydrogen to bond with.
Then, there is the presence of the other element - Potassium (Ka). It is present in a disturbingly large amount given the chemical makeup of your suspect substance - Water Wetter, which contains NONE - NADA, RIEN, NICHTS, ZILCH! Are you planning on totally ignoring this because it doesn't agree with your
belief?
I am steadfast in my belief that you have inferred much, but proven nothing on your quest for
Truth (at least the Truth as
you see it).
FYI, I have emailed Red Line's Technical Department a 2nd time to repeat my initial request, but also fowarded an attached copy of the Spectral analysis as well. Hopefully they will respond shortly and put this to rest...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
