Is said a CF of Gold was over 200 lbs..I't not. Its 1204 lbs
Didn't see that. Anyway, 1204 is over 200, so it was right
the 1st time
Iridum would make a better ballest if you need compact ballast at 1383
a CF.
Surprisingly, plutonium is only a little bit more dense than
gold, but platinum is about 10% more. Gold is almost twice
as dense as lead, and lead is half again as dense as iron.
Then Gold, Mercury, Lead.
Tungsten? Thorium? Or one of my favorites, Ytterbium?
My favorite... fish scrap 45 lbs CF
Not gonna be very effective ballast if it's less dense than
water. Make good flotation though, and even better as bait
for shootin' cats.
