Camphor-Engine-Driven Micro-Boat Guides Evolution of Chemical Gardens

A micro-boat self-propelled by a camphor engine, carrying seed crystals of FeCl(3), promoted the evolution of chemical gardens when placed on the surface of aqueous solutions of potassium hexacyanoferrate. Inverse chemical gardens (growing from the top downward) were observed. The growth of the “inv...

description A micro-boat self-propelled by a camphor engine, carrying seed crystals of FeCl(3), promoted the evolution of chemical gardens when placed on the surface of aqueous solutions of potassium hexacyanoferrate. Inverse chemical gardens (growing from the top downward) were observed. The growth of the “inverse” chemical gardens was slowed down with an increase in the concentration of the potassium hexacyanoferrate. Heliciform precipitates were formed under the self-propulsion of the micro-boat. A phenomenological model, satisfactorily describing the self-locomotion of the camphor-driven micro-boat, is introduced and checked.
