F2 reporting on progress made for the AQV Project.

Initial experiments confirm that a metallic compound coating on an organic flesh material will form a seal around an exposed wound if the material coating is subject to an electroplating process. We have amputated the tails and limbs of mice and summarily stop bleeding by coating the exposed injury with a silver alloy compound, then have the wound be fully sealed when the metal was submerged in a saline solution and subject to electric current.  This prototype material is hereby titled AQVR1 and is available upon request, though it is advised to not use this material with humans.

Our current desired progress from here is to establish the following:

1) Create a material which is not metallic in base that acts as the binding agent upon the exposed wound.
2) Create a material which causes the electroplating reaction around the binding agent by means of static electricity found in the air and not rely on an introduced current.
3) Enable the materials to have the ability to react when in contact with each other without having the presence of a controlled area (i.e., have the reaction occur without the need to situate the reaction within a closed container).

N5 is in progress of researching Item (1), and has made indication that a solution of hydrogen peroxide would give the necessary property of having a chemical reaction directly to an exposed wound and serve as a point of identification upon which the binding agent would act.
S7 is in progress of researching Item (2), and is looking into how to make a liquid form of a metallic material such as carbon or gold which would allow the least electrical resistance and give the best potential to conduct airborne static electricity.

Concern is also noted of having metallic materials make contact with open wounds and serve as a vector for blood poisoning by having the body absorb the metals directly.
