I`d have to agree that the water idea is a bit of a ummm, chalk and cheese
thing. I read about a liquid that 3m came up with that is supposedly the most
non conductive chemical on earth. But it costs $400 for a gallon so that
might be a bit much. How cold do you have to have nitrogen to stay liquid?
And could you pressurise it to keep it liquid instead?
You`ve perked my interest, I havent got aprils LXF yet, whats the project? I
know you were begging me to ask so fess up!
