Right, but wetting does not look like a problem.
I was thinking on good rotating parabolic mirrors and MHD applications.
It came to my mind that dynamo effects and effects from Earth's magnetic
field would alter the shape of the mirror.
Galinstan is practically too expensive to buy. It sells in
Hi David,
You are referring to "Galinstan" not "Gaslinstan", correct?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galinstan
The problem with rotating Galinstan is mentioned in the article -
"Galinstan tends to wet and adhere to many materials, including glass,
which limits its use compared to mercury. Galin
Hi all
Experimenting with Mercury can be rather hazardous.
Now with Gaslinstan, liquid down to -19 centigrades, a lot of experiments
become possible. Too bad it is still rather expensive.
Someone mentioned strange effect when rotating mercury fast.
