Do public libraries worldwide do interlibrary loans? Better phrased: does ILL exist in your country?

I see presumption on all sides of the perspectives outlined in this thread. Sometimes entertaining, sometimes enlightening, sometimes scary/disturbing.
Can we all just get along?
Yes. We can.
When we do, we maximally thrive.
Internecine energy drops.
We relax.
Ahhhh.

"...
How long will Multi-Etch last?
For dry powder: at least 11 years.
The shelf life for mixed UNUSED Multi-Etch solution is at least 8 months. (Keep it capped!)

I would have thought in a city the size of Houston Ti sponge could be had with ease. My experience thus far is at odds with this notion.
So. Today I will start charging a cell with a titanium nitride coated needle cathode.
Having spent the last three days IRL pounding the pavement at local Universities, Jewelry Suppliers, Welding Wholesalers, and phoning and emailing sourcing candidates, Ti sponge remains out of reach.
I persist. Whatever it takes. Adulturated Ti foams find application in medicine. My old haunts at the Texas Medical Center beckon.
I remain committed to a close replication. Only lack proper cathode. Considered plastic tea infuser filled with ground Ti from spork. Have concerns regarding continuity/conduction and surface area.

Notes for Ti needles

Impatiently awaiting Ti sponge, so will proceed with needles and report here soon.

I posted on this:
50mA
80 ohms
4V
From Ohm's Law and J5 postings.
Ready to be set straight if I err.
I plan to make LiOH in cell and will add H2O while monitoring resistance to reach 80Ω.

I have sent inquiry for sample price.

I have Am 241 pellet, 0.90 microcuries,
removed from Fire Sentry Micro Ionization Type Smoke Detector.

Let's blow this up.
We're gonna blow the roof off.
Explosive confluence.
Above find music/concert quotes.
Let us now pray we survive and thrive post- experiment thanks to well planned safety equipment and procedures.
I need my ears.
Note we face risk and profit from danger. This is what women, men, and children do - to advance culture.

Walmart sells titanium needles which I have yet to track down - always sold out.
I have this titanium spork which I could immediately test.
My Ni200 wire is 32 AWG not 22 nor 26 like JohnyFive used.

While I await Chinese Ti shipment I am canvassing local university labs for flakes.
Tee hee.
-
No access to watch or CMOS batteries?
Calculate or estimate surface area of flake. Compare to wire surface area in electrolyte. Monitor cell resistance.
Might work. Inquiring minds want to know.

Remind me, Can, after I get strict replication in hand.

Contacted Rice University Smalley Curl Institute, Rice University Applied Physics Department, and Dr. John Goodenough for guidance on Ti flake/foam while awaiting Chinese shipment.
