It's surprisingly light, which is of course why they use magnesium. This is a magnesium alloy casting, part of an IBM ThinkPad frame. Sorry, I don't know much about cars, what I do know is that this is magnesium, based on its very light weight. This is some kind of a car part involving brakes. One of these days I'm going to photograph my Dow magnesium canoe. Much smaller than you think, only about 1.5" long.Ī medallion commemorating Dow Chemical's foray into magnesium metal production, apparently from magnesium salts in seawater since it says "The Metal from the Sea". Hopefully made of real magnesium, this pedal is very light. No question about it, this is solid magnesium (though probably with a few percent of alloying elements). Sure enough, after about 30 seconds with a propane torch, the little bit caught and burned very brightly for longer than you might expect.

From the breathless eBay listing: UP FOR AUCTION WE HAVE A TILTON MAGNESIUM BELL HOUSING W/ TRANSMISSION MOUNT / ADAPTER - RAN CHEVY - HOUSING DOES HAVE MINOR CRACK. If anyone knows what the likely age of this device is, I'd love to know. Obviously used, but probably not for several decades. You wind it up just like a wind-up toy, and when you pull the trigger a wheel spins against a flint, generating sparks that ignite a small pile of flash powder. Chlorophyll contains a magnesium ion in its active center. Green plants are green because they contain chlorophyll, which they use for photosynthesis. Scroll down to see examples of Magnesium.Ĭlick here to buy a book, photographic periodic table poster, card deck, or 3D print based on the images you see here! Thin strips light easily and burn brightly. Usually they are melted down into useful products such as lightweight race car components and fire starters. These magnesium nodules grow during the refining process. Pictures, stories, and facts about the element Magnesium in the Periodic Table H
