I would-be most definitely never ever Try to build something containing mercury... I love my life dearly... And I am not suicidal so that is out of the question... The only reason I mentioned this is because of the Tesla death ray gun design... A jet injection with mercury is enough To die... I could try a water dropler static charge device using mercury, but I probably Die that way of cancer... No I want to know about the possibility Of a gas instead of a belt.... They are vaguely mentioned sometimes.. Thanks for the links I will read it When my woman let's me... Have much diy jobs pending Around the house... Maybe I can find some time To study the basics soon... Again as always this list is very Helpful... Kind regards, Sietze... Ps as always sorry for the language mistakes....
