Lines: 18 It just hit me that I could build a superconductor in my own garage, given access to liquid nitrogen. (don't ask why it took so long) Has anyone reading this done so? Got any good recipes? Sources of the chemicals needed? (I shouldn't have any problem getting the liquid nitrogen.) I expect any chemical supply house could provide most of the ingredients but I've never dealt with one. Do they sell to anyone? (couldn't that be dangerous?) I hope this topic hasn't been covered in sci.physics already. Sorry if it has, but I don't usually read that group, though I will be now. -- The VT220 keyboard sucks, but the VT320 is usable. DEC finally got it right!
