stuart - I gotta ask, what do you work as, where, and please tell me it's not all as cool as it sounds from this brief overview 
jeez, and I thought playing with moderate strength lasers, thermite, and (accidentally) creating cyanide gas was fun
|
i work as a post-grad student (just have to finish writing up my PhD thesis.. almost done..) and i also do Post-Doctorate research at UNSW, in the Materials Science and Engineering school, and also the Electron Microscope Unit. so i do everything from high temperature oxidation of jet turbine blade alloy coatings, to metallography, to electron microscopy of coatings and oxidation products.
heh heh, i used to do the Thermite demonstrations at uni open days (before safety was more of a concern), and when i was doing Carbo-nitridation of heat resisting steels, i had saturated sodium hydroxide bubblers to scrub the cyanide produced during the reaction 
basically, i play with expensive toys (the microscopes) react expensive alloys (most have around 50-80% platinum, with some rare earths chucked in for good measure), and generally try and look at things on the limits of the analysis techniques i use (ie nanometer oxides, 0.1 microgram resolution balances)
the piston stuff is something on the side that i'm doing because i can, and because it's interesting to use the toys for a practical application..
dunno, to some ppl it's interesting, but i think others would be bored shiteless sitting in a dark room for 12 hours at a time looking at a 6" diameter flourescent screen....
Cya, Stewart
