Sounds like a great thesis project, but the Achilles heel would be the nonuniform power distribution making things hard to reproduce. One would need to spend the first month with some thermal paper mapping the power in the oven to see how granular it is. Putting a big mug of water in there would help a bit, for reasons I won't bore you with, but even so, without characterizing the cavity pretty thoroughly, it would be hard to reproduce but possibly good enough to work! Results are more important than another publication (unless you're that hapless grad student!) haha Bob _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
