[simpits-tech] Rack mount Computer System

[Rob Hommel]

Chris:

Gene and I have some of this stuff in the shop. Our early experiments with
it were less than satisfactory. We blamed it on the torch used at the time.
I saw the stuff demonstrated at a county fair or something and thought aha!
eureka! and several other exclamations. His skill with the stuff was
astonishing.He even welded a Pepsi can with it. My skill with it was
considerably less by several  orders of magnitude.
Gene who did not watch the demonstration was less impressed than I was about
it.

I would like to believe that it works but, I have not found another use for
it at this time. It is relatively inexpensive, go for it. When I find time I
will play with it again.

Keep 'em Flying
