    By weight, Epsom Salt is actually 53% water and this is something that has always blown my mind. It just felt way too much to be possible and I've finally decided to test it out myself.

      Given a) 53% Of the CRYTALINE STRUCTURE is water & b) Airgaps Between crystals(thus inefficiency)
      Thus, that 3% is going to 'go up in smoke'
      Aergo "More than half of this is water" isn't a good presumption unless this was 1 solid crystal block. - it'd only be accurate to say "Approximately half the container is water; as The crystaline-compound compound is techincally 53% water"
      And then just drop the 53% instead of saying "more than half of this is water"
      For someone who clings to that 3% so much, he certainly didn't make any effort to actually like, MEASURE whaat he put into the beaker, by weight and then compare the evaporated->Condensated water.
      1kg would be plenty to show the proof.

    I have dyshidrotic eczema, it's basically a rare form of eczema that causes small blisters on you hands and feet. I often get infections from it, given my line of work. This type of eczema can last months at a time. It's actually a big part of my VA disability, since I started to get it when I was active duty. Anyways, back on topic. When I have break outs, I take epsom salt baths to help with infections and to sooth my skin. Since epsom salt is also an astringent, it helps cure the infections, and it helps with my very irritated skin.
    I love epsom salt. Now it's nice to know that in a pinch I can just heat some up and stay hydrated, lol, you know in the event there is an apocalypse.

    Nile made himself what we prospectors call a Dolly Pot. We use them to crush potential ores to release gold and other precious minerals. It works better if you use a pipe with a diameter about twice the diameter of your striker though. To tight and the little stuff interferes and slows you down. Too wide and the stuff just moves around and doesn’t break up.

    A common trick when welding and brazing cast iron is to cover the piece with fire resistant blankets to make it cool down at a slower rate to avoid cracking, and I'm thinking that it might work for the glassware in the heating mantle as well. Of course it wouldn't work here because of the huge rock you made, but maybe it's worth trying in another experiment. You should be able to find the blankets relatively cheap just as a fire blanket that you can have at home to put out fires and 350C shouldn't be any trouble at all for a blanket like that.

    You could probably measure the degree of hydration of the first batch of extracted salt by comparing the weight of the salt before and after?
    Additionally, my experience with using blenders to break down solid chunks/objects is that the object needs to be subjected to some kind of stress (or not be held together particularly strongly) first. Sometimes using a little water (though it would be counter productive in this case) can help, other times you need to whack at it a little to break up the hard, outer covering (particularly if the outer covering is smooth or has some kind of binder holding it together) or introduce microstresses into the object.

    Drywall (sheetrock) often has chemically bound water in the dry chalky center portion. Especially certain fire rated types of drywall.
    When it is heated the water is chemically released, creating steam. The drywall will not get hot enough to allow the flame to spread to the other side of the wall until the water has boiled away.
