Moin, I had a little bit too much time at hand this weekend and read a bit about H masers. I was quite astonished to see how "simple" these devices actually are. The electronics are basically a simple matter these days (thanks to the abundance of GHz devices for cell phones and GPS receivers).
The only problem would be to build a high Q cavity, get a Teflon coated quarz bulb of the right diameter, an apropriate atomic hydrogen beam source and putting everything under high vacuum. Piece of cake ;-) Thus i wondered whether anyone had ever build a H maser outside national labs and and specialized companies. Looking at the time-nuts archives, quite a few people asked about the feasibilty of such an endeavor. A few times i read of people who actually attempted to build one, but never was there any website or any other resource with their results meantioned. Neither did big-g return any results when searching for these homebrew H masers. Does anyone know whether any of those people collected their results somewhere? And if, where i could find them?
