Likely some higher molecular weight insoluble polyphenols and maybe
some traces of amino acids. The soluble polyphenols are in the
oil, I believe.
Charcoal from various plants probably has different prop
Hello Fred,
Unless I'm missing something, the setup you describe is a self-charging
assymetrical capacitor, an electric dipole. The end of the dipole closest
to the earth will be more strongly attracted to it, resulting in an apparent
weight gain. The long separation between the Van de Graaff

Structure could be important -- as well as isotope
enrichment.

Thinking about the Case experiment . . . Does anyone know what
charcoal made from coconut shell might include? Mainly carbon, of
course, but what other elements?
This source:

Says that shells are:
Lignin 36%
Cellulose 53%
That's 89%. What else?
