	Air is the predominate factor involved in deadening the string (this
is larger than the heat dissipated by amperage created from Lenz'z law by the
pickup, and also string flex).

One way to increse the sustain is for guitarists to use feedback from an
amplifier(acoustic) to increase the sustain.   Another is the use of loopback
equipment (such as delays and tape echos to 'sample/hold' the note.

	but if the string is played in vacuum, then the friction of the air
is removed, and the sutain is much longer.
