    high pressure tanks

    I just seen on the Discovery channel "How its Made" the process which high pressure tanks like nitrogen and oxygen are made, if you get a chance to catch that show or snip it on their home page watch it.

    I didn't catch home page address, so you will have to search for it.

    It also reminds you why Square tubes and flat tops are not used to contain high pressure.
    The Laws of Thermodynamics say:

    Zeroth Law: "You must play the game."
    First Law: "You can't win."
    Second Law: "You can't break even."
    Third Law: "You can't quit the game."

    Do you wanna Play Thermodynamics ???????? I forgot "you must"

    They sometimes have those "how it's made" programs on channel 5 here in the UK. I'll watch out for it and see if I can find a link to stream it from the net.

    here, Discovery is mostly about crab fishermen, survivor man, animals and (my favorite, mythbusters).
    if i get off work early i can catch How Its Made, and i really wish they would do an episode about air conditioning as i think that many people would enjoy it. they do ask people to vote for new ideas so... LETS ALL VOTE FOR IT!!! (<HERE>)
