In the late 1800's, refineries producing kerosene burned any "gasoline" byproducts as dangerous waste - the same stuff we use in pre-Tesla automobiles today. The reason was that gasoline was "obviously" ar too dangerous for consumer use. Kerosene, with its much lower volatility and lower heat per unit was acceptable.
Anything that can produce very high temperatures very fast can be very dangerous. Over time, we learn to handle it properly and it becomes commonplace, like gasoline. Obviously there is a learning curve and it's prudent to be careful. 73, Ron AC7AC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
