FUEL, WONDERFUL FUEL.

WIM's DESK
I found this on the Internet looking for some stainless information France Chosen To Host Experimental Fusion Reactor Project: The project is expected to cost up to $13 billion to develop. Nuclear fusion is a process that is being seen as mankind's bright new hope for boundless sources of clean energy. The project's supporters say the prize is worth the effort. They say 1 kilogram of fusion fuel would produce the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuel… Fuel for thought?
I’ll be going to Secunda tomorrow and also to Eskom Kriel. Makes you wonder… Will Sasol and Eskom still be around or do we just each buy a milligram of Fusion Fuel to last us a lifetime.

What's in a name? From the Greek word for inactive, argos.

History and Uses:
Argon was discovered by Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, and Lord Rayleigh, an English chemist, in 1894. Argon makes up 0.93% of the earth's atmosphere, making it the third most abundant gas. Argon is obtained from the air as a byproduct of the production of oxygen and nitrogen.
Argon is frequently used when an inert atmosphere is needed. It is used to fill incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs to prevent oxygen from corroding the hot filament. Argon is also used to form inert atmospheres for arc welding, growing semiconductor crystals and processes that require shielding from other atmospheric gases.
