I resent this. I played with the stuff as a kid and there is absolutely no

When I was a dumb kid in the 50s we used to go into the garbage of those
hard of hearing and get their discarded hearing aid batteries to salvage
the
mercury. We got quite a bit and used it to make dimes real shiny and let
the little balls roll around in our palms.. Several years ago I started
to
wonder what this might have done to me and I did some checking. Several
dentists and a PhD metallurgist all said that the metal mercury is not
toxic
and is not absorbed but the salts of it are.

It's my understanding it is the vapor which is a problem...inhale.

my teeth hurt, what about florescent lights?, they all have a little of
mercury in them, they just get thrown in the dump.

If the guy sees them around here, you get it back. Some areas are
already savvy.


I won't bring up the 10
pounds of lead in the monitor you're looking at

There is a major push to eliminate lead in electronics. The solder
is 20-30 degrees hotter.

Hi Jim,

I've performed work with Battelle Centers for Public Health Research &
Evaluation and this very matter has been studied to record and verify
every statement I've offered.

Well, I used to play with blobs of mercury a lot when I was a kid and it
has never eeefffffecttted (snort)mmmmeee a (slobber) biiiittt.

Cecil,

No, it won't work.

Mercury, being a liquid at normal temperatures, is subject to
hydrodynamic wave action. The RF couples into the hydrodynamic modes,
and the resulting interference energy waves cause cancellation of the
antiglare properties at the ends of the tube. The RF then leaks out and
does not launch into the desired radio waves.

Of course the mercury has high local proton density, so it has been
claimed that even small amounts of proton decay can negate the RF to
hydrodynamic coupling, thereby allowing the essential glare properties
to be maintained.

Looks to me like there are at least three entities other than Battelle
Centers for Public Health Research & Evaluation that found minimum levels.

Mercury is used in several drugs and biologic products, including over the
counter nasal sprays.

Why not use salt water. Anything will work.

Loss resistance would not be too bad because skin depth increases with
conductor resistivity relative to copper.

And if you believe that, I got some Desert Land in Aridzonia, and
a Bridge in Brookland, I'll sell you very cheap.
