There is a lot of stuff needed to complete food gans and it is likely that you will have to complete the final sieving stage at home as our 6 hours together is unlikely to be enough time.

So I am looking at options. A lot of the food gans time is used up waiting for various ½ hour, 1 hour and 2 hour food gans processes to complete.

We can wind some coils for car units while we wait and set up gans-making kits to take home to marinate.

What I will do is present a list of things to bring for each endeavor and you can decide which ones you want to do and bring the stuff to the group.

So pick what you want to do and bring the stuff


Supplies needed for food gans

Different soft foods (I say soft because hard ones take longer)
Wide mouth Quart jar or plastic equivalent
measuring cup
plastic or wooden spoon
blender
copper wire
zinc plate
Piece of nanocoated copper or carbon (I will supply)
½ amp phone charger
pH meter (I have one)
NaOH
HCl
Citric acid or lemon juice
Baking soda
Filtration requires a
•    Regular strainer,
•    plastic coffee strainer,
•    tea paper filter
•    coffee paper filter


Supplies needed for car unit

100 feet bare copper wire 14 GA
You can use 16 or 18 GA and you will use less than 100 feet
A power drill with 1/8 or 3/16 inch bit
Mandrils required are 23/64 and 7/32 for 14GA
And ¼ and can reuse the 7/32 for 18 Ga
We have a wooden stand to make the coil spinning functional
A piece of sturdy cardboard or plastic to make a consistent ruler length so we don’t have to count the number of coils all the time.
A plastic bag to put the coils in so they can start nanocoating and easily take them home.
There are a couple other parts needed for completion but you can get them while they are nanocoating and you are making the gans for them

Supplies needed for gans making

CO2 gans

Wide mouth quart jar or plastic equivalent (Tall coke bottles work great with the top cut off)
Piece of zinc
Piece of nanocoated copper or carbon (I will supply)
Pieces of copper wire
Some people like alligator clips
A 1.5V battery or an old phone charger that you are going to turn into a gans maker. It must have output less than 1 ampere (½ or less is ideal)
Some thin insulated copper wire can be used if you are using a battery and some duck tape
Seawater or 35 gm salt per liter of clean water

CH3 gans

Wide mouth quart jar or plastic equivalent
Pieces of copper wire
Some people like alligator clips
3 spikes not galvanized
Piece of nanocoated copper or carbon (I will supply)
Seawater or 35 gm salt per liter of clean water

CuO gans

Wide mouth quart jar or plastic equivalent
Pieces of copper wire
Some people like alligator clips
Piece of copper
Piece of nanocoated copper or carbon (I will supply)
A 1.5V battery or an old phone charger that you are going to turn into a gans maker. It must have output less than 1 ampere (½ or less is ideal)
Some thin insulated copper wire can be used if you are connecting a battery and some duck tape
Seawater or 35 gm salt per liter of clean water

Everybody should have some NaOH (lye) and plastic bags and gloves and start nanocoating copper and copper wire soon
