Hi Double -A Hmmmm do you think an oxide of zinc is hard to find?
Could be since zinc resists oxygen. Well my thinking that mold,and
mildew do not like atoms of metals is proven by experiment. Bert

Hi Double -A Well zinc is an element(metal) If its exposed to the
oxygen in the air its is oxidating.. Use powdered zinc
if you feel more comfortable.add it to water and use it as a
spray.
Mold and Mildew hates metals of most kinds. Lead zinc copper etc.
This
is reality Bert

Well, Bert, I just thought that since you recommended zinc oxide for
mildew, that you might know where to buy it.

STEAM POWERED CAR BREAKS THE 100 MPH BARRIER

This just in, hot off the presses: a driver named Marriott has
succeeded in reaching a speed clocked at 127.659 MPH over a
standard 1 mile course in an automobile manufactured by an
upstart company named Stanley. According to the press release
(going off the report listed in the World Book Almanac in 2002)
this feat was accomplished on January 26. Um. 1906.

Though there hasn't yet been much time to exploit this feat and
come to market, there can be no doubt that there will be significant
fruits to bear in the succeeding years from this accomplishment,
as the technology of water-powered automobiles at last finally
proves itself out in clear and dramatic fashion.

Double-A:

Bert really doesn't know for sure if zinc oxide powders make good
fungicides. He has the wrong information regarding zinc. Zinc oxidizes
in the presence of oxygen quite easily. The result is the powdered
material that used to be used instead of lead oxide when a cheaper and
slightly inferior house paint was to be made. They mixed it wit linseed
oil. Today, the related chemical, titanium oxide is used, and that has
higher reflectivity and opacity.

Zinc oxide is used for sunscreen block, although titanium oxide may have
taken over that application.

Zinc oxide is still widely available in industry. It is used in artists
oil paints. The unmixed powdered pigment is available through art supply
stores, for example, probably from Pearl Paint in NYC.

Hi Double-A Lithium being a very cheap metal would be the best way to
go. Mold and mildew don't grow next to metals because metals create
electrolysis. That trickle charge must give those micros a hot foot.
Double-A one of my companies here in Florida is called "M & M" It stands
for mold and mildew removal (don't laugh) Now I will put a final
lithium spray over roofs and give them a 5 year guarantee(why not?) If
you look at air vents pipes on roofs you will see a tear drop area that
stays very clean. That pipe has a metal flashing and that it the reason.
Might pattern that spray and make a million bucks. Bert

The original "Stanley Steamer" was capable of over 100 MPH speeds. Only the
poor quality tires and wicker seats limited the top speeds in use to a MUCH
lower level. Stripped down versions were very fast! This is not an
accomplishment, rather it's a verification.

Just as a clarification, the Stanley Steamers were of course not water
powered, for the most part they were wood powered. Steam is simply
water after a great deal of energy has been externally added! :-)

Zinc is indeed very reactive, and unless kept out of contact with air
oxidizes rapidly. We've all seen this effect in the cloudy, mottled
appearance of "galvanized" sheet metal, used for buckets, roofing,
&c.: the steel is electroplated with zinc, whose surface oxidizes to
make for a coating that's resistant to air and moisture, providing
quite effective rust-protection.

Hi Odysseus Seems I have to defend myself for saying zinc is good for
keeping mold and mildew away. I know it is used for making brass.,and
creating a surface on steel to keep it from rusting. It oxides,but then
stops(nice feature,and that is like aluminium(Anodized aluminium) they
get white and stay that way. Then we have zinc ointment,and that
contains "zinc oxide". Zinc is used for roofs. Bert

As I recall, the engine was allowed to build up a head of steam --
dangerously high pressures?
It was not capable of running 100 mph continuously.
Since steam engines are much less efficient than internal combustion, ie.,
around 1%, a careful analysis would be interesting to reveal exactly how the
Steamer was able, even for a brief interval, of reaching that speed.
