nah It will pull itself into a black hole of course :)
They tried that once, took about a year to rebuild things IIRC. :(
Interesting what drifting conversations do when brains get together.

And of course its out of gas if you need to fire it up and get enough heat
out of it to do a silver joint. There is a Murphy's Law corollary about
that I've seen someplace. ;-)

I guess Joern's Studio is only 3 or 4 rooms.
It's mostly because he
mentioned wall sockets that I suggested this.
It can also be the wall (or ceiling-mounted) type. I think they're
called raceways or just cable-tray.
Yup.
It is currently running inside the ALICE detector
@LHC.
Yikes. If that ever collapses, it will emp into smoke, and and all
electrical stuff for many meters around it. That, it can
be said is NOT a
friendly environment. Even your $15 Casio wrist watch is in danger if
you move too fast in that.
The magnetic field you mean? The tricky part is get close enough. You'll
need a few weeks to undo all the screws on the "enclosure" and not get
kicked out in the meantime. Once you get in there you don't need to
move, the electrons inside the watch are already moving fast enough. The
only workaround is to have only short interconnects and lots of bulk in
between them. Luckily this is an OT post:

-lhc-stream/ Silver solder,
or just silver bearing solder?
likely both. It is a very well equipped lab. There was a small
hand-torch in there as well. Though I think it was mostly used as a
spare lighter :)
Thank you for the lengthy explanation.
NP. When I get started, like most old farts with a loooong history in
broadcasting, I don't know when its time to shut up. ;-)
ciao,

Thanks Robin
