Re: [TCML] liquid primary

["Drake Schutt" <drake89@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are several alloys that are liquid at room temp or near rt.
Woods metal is one i know of off the top of my head.  I know
unitednuclear.com stocks at least a couple.  Im sure that they dont
have low resistance but it would be fun to experiment.      My 2cents,
drake
