Making GOLD from Copper, Silver & Plant Extracts

+++

DEAR READER,

WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE GOLD LIKE 10 TO 24 KARAT WITH OTHERS METALS, MATERIALS, ACID, CHEMICALS? WHAT KIND OF METALS, MATERIALS, ACID, CHEMICALS ETC. IN PURE GOLD? PLEASE RESPOND. WE WANT TO MAKE GOLD WITH METALS, MATERIALS, ACID, CHEMICALS ETC. ANY INFORMATION CAN BE HELPFUL FOR US AND WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR KINDNESS AND WE WILL BE THANKFUL.

THANKS & BEST REGARDS,

+++ Hi, Muhammed. At first I didn't know quite what to make of your inquiry, i.e., whether you were asking for serious details about gold refining, which might have included questions about some sort of organic scavengers (plant extracts). But then another letter came in from our favorite scammer, saying: Gold is created from Silver and Copper, these powders are taken and mixed with a plant 'Nalla Vayulu' and heated for 3 days at 1000 degrees, Gold is formed in tons, no idea how Low Temperature Nuclear reactions are formed, think of Cold Fusion and Hutchison effect. If you are taking this as joke then you are a nut case. ...and I realized that your question is probably motivated by your being enticed into a scam. Please spend some time on some scam-watch websites and try to get a step ahead of the scammers instead of being a day behind. Good luck. Ted Mooney, P.E. finishing.com Brick, New Jersey +++ This letter depends on what he really meant. Is he asking how to make 10 or 14 or 18 K gold from 24K gold, or is he asking how to extract pure gold out of an alloy, or is it a dream of making 10K gold into 24K gold by alchemy. The last one would be either foolish or a scam. I cannot tell by what is written. English is probably a second language, so we should cut him some slack until he tells us what he really meant.

Mr Ted Your term Nalla Vayalu seems to be a Tamil language term.Pl elaborate.

That word was not my term, it was a quotation; the term in question may be Tamil in origin, I don't know. But the IMPORTANT word is in English: SCAM. By the way, cold fusion was discredited.

Ted et al., You haven't been keeping up with nuclear physics. Gold can be produced from other elements using a particle accelerator (proton bombardment) or nuclear reactor (neutron bombardment). This is the technique by which the trans-uranium elements are created. Glenn Seaborg reported on gold formation via nuclear transmutation circa 1980.

Bad news #1: high cost. "Because lead is stable, forcing it to release three protons requires a vast input of energy, such that the cost of transmuting it greatly surpasses the value of the resulting gold." (http://chemistry.about.com/library/weekly/aa050601a.htm) You need $Billions up front for a particle accelerator (see the basic cyclotron design at Argonne National Lab -- their underground accelerator is large enough that buffalo roam within the Der Ring Des Niebelungen!). The operating costs run $1 to $400 per milligram (Oak Ridge National Laboratory 1996 prices for medical isotopes), or $37500 to $1.5 Million per troy ounce.

Bad news #2: the gold will be radioactive -- not very healthy, plus it will decay! ORNL can solve the radioactivity problem with additional neutron irradiation for a sizable surcharge.

Hope this helps.

I had heard that modern science had solved this particular alchemical problem, but I didn't know that ORNL was selling it! Talk about using gold to make some gold!

I AM A GOLD SMITH. I WANT GET INFORMATION THAT HOW MAKE GOLD (DUPLICATE) BY ALCHEMY LIKE MIX OF SOME METALS, CHEMICAL AND SOME % OF PURE GOLD OR WITHOUT ANY % OF PURE GOLD. I KNOW THAT SOME PERSON ARE MAKING GOLD FROM OTHER RESOURCES, SO IF ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE REGARDING (DUPLICATE) GOLD THAT HOW IT MAKE THAN I WILL BE THANKFUL TO YOU FOREVER!

Researching the old tamil medical palm script, I came to understand that gold can be transmuted by following methods:

mercurius dissolve

biological TREATMENT

MIX FIVE METALS

CAN BE TURNED IN TO GOLD

Actually, researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory created a small amount of gold (one-billionth of a cents worth) by hurling ions of carbon and neon at a bismuth atom. The ions knocked off particles of the bismuth leaving the lighter element gold.

Just out of curiosity...
How are gold and other metal being formed in a natural way?
What I mean is...I guess that these metals take an awful lot of time to form, but under which conditions and from which kind of materials?
I don't have the illusion of creating gold or other of such metals, but it seems to me that, by speeding up natural processes it could be done.
Or am I thinking too simplistic..?

Kind regards,

+++++++ Here's the thing, folks. Scam victims are desperately illogical -- clutching at straws to try to recover a portion of their lost life savings. So each time we talk of nuclear fission and fusion reactions and how it may be possible to create an atom of gold in a nuclear accelerator, the site gets a couple of personal letters from sobbing victims begging for us to share more detail. Gold and other elements are created in nuclear reactions in star systems; they are not occurring on the surface of the earth. It is not a "natural process" that you can accelerate like rusting. We now understand elements sufficiently that we no longer need waste our lives on alchemy as if this was still the dark ages. Ted Mooney, P.E. finishing.com Brick, New Jersey

I am surprised lots of people are paying attention to that letter of Mr. N, very cheaply he is asking for the gold preparation technique; though he is my country-fellow, this is ridiculous by the way. A day when gold can be produced artificially that will be the end of "Golden era of Gold"

We have been doing this, try this if you to make a 24k gold from a 10k gold or even an 8k,. 1st you have to have a minimum of maybe 10 grams of 10k to make a 4 grams of higher karat. You must have nitric acid. Put it in an empty bottle, pour the acid and add the gold. Then closeIf the reaction stops, change the acid. After 2 days you will see your gold: it looks like a shredded paper. Make it dry until the acid disappears. You must have a fire producing gadget (like the one they're using in acetylene)-- you know what I mean? Until it melts, then you'll see your gold with a higher karat.

HI THERE. I AM SURPRISED OF SEEING ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO MAKE GOLD FROM METAL. NONE OF ANSWERING WERE ABOUT MAIN QUESTION; I MEAN NOBODY ANSWERED THIS QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW WHY? IF ANYBODY KNOWS THE ANSWER PLEASE GUIDE ME AND ALL OTHER INQUIRERS IF POSSIBLE. GIVE RECIPE TO MAKE GOLD WITH EASIEST WAY.

Hi, Babi. 500 years of progress in chemistry and scientific development has proven that alchemy is impossible, and why -- yet you wonder why we haven't printed a recipe for it?  :-)

Gold and more Gold is the demand right now. The answer is right in front of you. What I meant was that take a piece of coal and synthetically make Diamonds out of it.Sell them and buy Gold. Feels more logical then nonexistent chemical reactions.

Hehe put it this way the day man creates a way to make Gold taking in consideration that someone out there might already found a way to make gold, Gold could loose its value overnight and humanity could be lost... a huge amount of our trading system depends on the trade of gold even if is on paper bills or digital transactions.. so if you found a way keep it to your self make money, live rich, get all the girls you like, just don't let others know.. trust me this is one invention that will have governments across the world looking to bury you...

Hello Mr Mooney, one fellow a few posts before said it is possible to extract the impurities from say 22k gold or less, and be left with purer gold. Is this true? And if so, could I do it in my own workshop? Also, if you could point me in the right direction where to find books/websites with information on this type of stuff.

Thank you

Hi, Garret. The central focus of this website is metal finishing, which I know a fair amount about; and I know enough general science to realize why alchemy is impossible. But when a topic drifts towards jewelry making and precious metal refining, sorry, I don't know much. Certainly it's possible to refine gold; but I don't know the dangers, economies, or practicalities, and can't help with whether you can do it at home.
