@Eric76, thanks for correcting me, but i asked Donovan, and he said me 150, so hmm? And tell me back that, when somme brand will put diff oil in their shampoo?
Actually there was no need to ask Donovan - read his publicly available MSDN and try to understand what it says for yourself. On the other hand, if you already were talking to him, you could also just have asked him about some explanations. Anyway:
1) I said "
Most silicone oils" - I didn't say all. Whereas you said "The silicone change of state at 150 celcius" (that is kind of hard to understand but I guess what you said was "Silicones change their state at 150°C") - which as that generalization - is wrong. So what I did was correcting your generalized statement regarding silicones would change their state at 150°C. But even for Lubix in specific this is not true (check the MSDN yourself if you don't want to believe me). It clearly says "which
can generate formaldehyde as a byproduct of oxidative thermal decomposition" - that does not mean that this necessarily happens - it just is possible that it could happen starting at 150°C (ever heard of safety factors? read about it if not). You understand that difference? Try it, it is easy. You must - regarding technical things - pay special attention to the exact words and interpret only what they actually say - never "over"interpret them. If you're not sure what the data means, go ask someone who knows about it.
2) And for the next question... (I really have problems understanding you)... you want me to tell you which shampoo has shock oil in it whenever there is one?... I don't catch that hook but instead I try again to give you a better understanding, about what you act as if you already knew everything, just because you asked Donovan... or something like that. Well, actually I don't care if you will get it, but it still might help others: a) I talked about shock oil while you now talk about differential oil. Really: Pay attention to the exact words and don't mix things up - even though it was not that much of a difference in this specific case. b) Funny... or maybe sad, so I only point you - again - to the wording: I said "So yes, you
could use shock oil in shampoo." And at this point I again have to suggest that you really should learn the definitions/differences of shock- and differential oil - as well as try to find out if those "names" have any significant meaning regarding the material composition or if they are just "names" (well, I just tell you: they are only names). If you seriously want to discuss that topic (which I unfortunately doubt), you should know about all those things. So although it should be already clear from what you yourself said before and from what my answer to it was, I just roughly copy/paste it and simplify it (a lot) - maby you can understand it a bit better then. So, here you go:
You: Lubix can be used in shampoo
Me: Lubix is Polydimethylsiloxane
Me: A lot of RC shock oils are Polydimethylsiloxane
As a consequence Shock oils can be used in shampoo.
If you still refuse to get it, ask Donovan for an better explanation. In case he really knows about his stuff in detail and did not just find out on accident that some type of silicone oil is a good lubricant which he ever since buys from the manufacturer and is reselling it to you, he should agree in every single point with me.
Ohh... just for the fun of it: Google the ingredients of "
Aveeno Shampoo" - you'll be amazed of the possibilty that it could contain shock oil. Or Lubix. Or differentail oil. Or whatever specific polydimethylsiloxane...
Why is there still this firm myth that Lubix is some unique and magical fluid conjured up by Gandalf himself?
Even if diff/shock-oil isn't the exact same thing, It still does the job just as well.
Because there are still some people defending it as a what you described it as. That is why I today posted... because people make up facts with wrong sciolism. In reality Lubix it is just a silicone oil with a special viscosity (which Donovan himself said in one of his first posts in this forum about a year ago). And I guess that is the only thing where those people close there ears and eyes like little babies instead of acquiring some knowledge. Again, it is the viscosity that makes Lubix different. But that's it already - otherwise it had to be in the MSDN.
But wait... aren't there rumors that Donovan has a Pikachu army which makes the cubes for him? Maybe Lubix is just their jizz... I mean... it could be, right? No one (but maybe those who are "defending lubix") has ever seen them... so... anything is possible, isn't it?
anyway: As long as there are people in whose opinion it is worth it, they will buy it. And if Donovan want's too - what he surly does - he is going to sell it to them. That's economy.
And asking the "inventor" isn't going to get you any undisputable facts anyway...
Well, unfortunately the last one of the two discoverers died in 2002 while the other one passed away in 1999 already. So asking them unfortunately is not an option any more ;-). But yes, in most cases I have to agree with that.
