    • I relate to your comment. As a steel fabricator and welder, we are on the messy end of the food chain here. Can you imagine holding those pliers or what you call them as that pneumatic hammer slams down on the platinum. Wow epic energy right? Anything is possible if we want it we can make it. We can also seek out where this place is and I bet with the right contacts get a tour of sorts. Keep blacksmithing it is becoming a lost art I believe.

  • Back in the late 70s the company I worked at/for. Used rodium coated discs in a memory storage device. 250k bytes. The disc was 1/4 in. Thk ( 6mm) and the size of an album. Other ram memory consisted of a 50KUSD mother board with (4) 5KUSD daughter boards. Memory was so expensive then BUT. Our million dollar systems paid for themselves in less than a year. Those rodium plated disc memory system required nitrogen air purges and any destabilizing shocks could make a disc crash. Literally 250 mag pic ups a millimeter from the disc spinning at. 10K rps. A disc crash ment one pickup blew apart and whiped out everything usually scratching the disc and making another nice souvenir. The discs were mirror like. I was just out of EE school and this stuff blew my mind back in 78. My point; engineering was so cool being able to make positive changes to a company and make mgmt changes. Rodium plated discs made me really open my mind to possibilites or improvements not thought of before. It was a great global company in the 80s. I had lunch with Ronald Reagan he visited our plant. Half our biz was export. Inflation was killing the country. I got a 17% raise and I lost money. Later in the 90s we got bought out a couple if times. Everything went to china a decade or so ago. C'est la vie. Great times great people. Witnessing the destruction of the engineering and support of a company can leave one bitter, forget that. What I experienced is a slow roll compared to now. Nothing is sacred. Chose your dreams carefully.

Its quite an interesting process. Everything involved once the heat exchangers are opened is sent back for recovery, paper booties, tyvek coveralls, vacuums, tarps and gloves.

Now, watching those videos, I wish this guy was my teacher (I know it's a bit pretentious of me). But if I had a teacher like this guy, who would explain complex things in a way that even someone like me can understand, things would be very different for me in Chemistry.

  • There was nothing magical about the coiling of that platinum bar. Notice the three rollers immediately prior to the coil; as the metal moved through the three rollers, it was given a stress in one direction, so after the wire passed the last roller, it simply "relaxed" by assuming a curved shaped. This technique is normally used to straighten wire for multiple industrial processes.
