Nitestar DMI Vehicle Distance Measurer. Note: On some vehicles - specifically trucks, the OBDII adapter will not report the proper speed to the DMI display, resulting in lower than actual distances measured. For the vehicles on which this problem has been observed, the distance recorded will be less than 10% of actual.
It is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to its group neighbors tin and silicon. Purified germanium is a semiconductor, with an appearance most similar to elemental silicon. Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms complexes with oxygen in nature. Unlike silicon, it is too reactive to be found naturally on Earth in the free (native) state.
Abundance solar system: 200 parts per billion by weight, 3 parts per billion by moles. Cost, pure: $360 per100g. Cost, bulk: $120 per 100g. Source: The main ore of germanium is germanite, which is about 7% germanium. Commercially, germanium is obtained as a byproduct of metal refining and from some coal ashes.Isotopes: Germanium has 24 isotopes whose half-lives are known, with mass numbers 58 to 85.Naturally occurring germanium is a mixture of five isotopes and they are found in the percentages shown: 70 Ge (21.2%), 72 Ge (27.7%), 73 Ge (7.7%), 74 Ge (35.9%) and 76 Ge (7.4%).The most abundant is 74 Ge at 35.9%.aturally occurring germanium is a mixture of five isotopes and they are found in the percentages shown: 70 Ge (21.2%), 72 Ge (27.7%), 73 Ge (7.7%), 74 Ge (35.9%) and 76 Ge (7.4%).
