Geocache Description:

20/11/2017 Update: I will be maintaining The Periodic Table series until the end of 2017. After that either they'll slowly fade away, one by one. Or, if someone else wants to take over all or part of the series I'll happily pass over to them. I can even supply the tubes that are currently being used. BlaKids.

Welcome to the periodic table of the elements powered trail. There will be 114 caches to each represent each element on the periodic table (until new elements are added). For simplicity sake only elements approved by the “International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry” will be included in this series.



The cache containers are small tubes as shown in the picture below


These containers have only a logbook inside them and no pen/pencil. Please make sure to bring a pen.

Element 109, meitnerium, is a synthetic element that is not present in the environment at all. There is no dispute concerning the name meitnerium for element 109.

Meitnerium was discovered by Peter Armbruster, Gottfried Münzenber and their co-workers. at 1982 in Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany.. Origin of name: named after Lise "Meitner", the Austrian physicist.

In August 1982 the first atom of the element meitnerium with atomic number 109 was detected at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany. The isotope of element 109 which was discovered has an atomic mass number of 266 (that is, 266 times heavier than hydrogen). The new element was produced by fusing an iron (58Fe) and a bismuth atom (209Bi) together in a reaction that produces a neutron. This was achieved by accelerating the iron atoms to a high energy in the heavy ion accelerator UNILAC at GSI. Source: Webelements.

This power trail starts at Mount Henry Bridge and continues south down the freeway cyclepath. This power trail is designed for bicycles or walkers and will be extremely hard, if not impossible for drivers. There is however a car park and a playground near the start.

Please stay safe and enjoy the power trail.
