    When somebody recently posted about Robert  Stephen's coils, I noticed 
the caption here:

    But it doesn't say *which* insulating gas he  used.

    You could always make your own - just  add fluorine to sulfur. :) Just be 
careful of the decafluoride!
 
    SF6 has many esoteric uses; you might be able to  procure some through 
channels other than electrical suppliers...
