Thank you Dave.



The boys are helping with my work load as I prepare for an international trip next week and then Apex the end of this month.



Regards,

Russell Kido

Subject: [TN] Element Quiz Answer



The Question:

This element reacts with water forming hydrogen. This element is never

found as a free element in nature. In 2018, a rich supply of this element

was discovered off the coast of Japan's Minamitori Island. An oxide of this

element is used in green phosphors in fluorescent lamps and color TV tubes

(does anyone remember those?). A borate compound containing this element is

used in solid state devices. The mineral xenotime. Name the element being

described?



The Answer:

The element is Terbium (Tb). Terbium oxide

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide> is used in green phosphors in

fluorescent lamps and color TV tubes. Sodium terbium borate is used in solid

state devices. Terbium is contained along with other rare earth elements in

many minerals, including monazite, xenotime and euxenite.



The winner of the quiz is Russell Kido, Practical  Components, and he will

get the services of Clumpy & Kloumpios for the week.  Scott Decker, Collins

Aerospace, was a very close second with his answer being just one minute

behind Russell's response. Tony Lentz, FCT Assembly, gets honorable mention

as the clues create the illusion that the element could be Yttrium.





Unfortunately, EQAB did not accept Doug's submission of "godzillium" as a

correct response. EQAB checked with the American Museum of Natural History

Mythical Creatures group. Their response was that godzillium may be an

element but since the element quiz documented that the element in question

would from hydrogen when combine with water, godzillium would not fit the

listed clues as the resulting explosion from the reaction with Godzilla's

breath would have been a global catastrophic event.





So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 79 Torsten Hagge, Kristronics

- the boys will help on a 1kV/2kA PCB design, after convinced the customer,

they will visit the Flensburg Christmas market and get several "Punsch"

with shot (hot red wine with spices and rum) as Flensburg has long history

of about 280 years rum manufacturing...



Week 80 Russell Kido, Practical Components



- Perfect timing!  The rain has stopped and they can enjoy some sun.  If

they get here in time, I’ll try to sneak them into the photo of my

daughter’s b-ball team this weekend. The rest of the week they can help me

with some troubleshooting issues, roof leaks, getting ready for the

holidays, Nepcon and Apex next month.







Week 81 Ron Feyereisen, SigmaTron Intl.
