Based on what I can gather, a fountain is probably easier to make work than any of the other, from a pure _mechanical_ point of view. The important detail to remember here, is that the people who have built fountains so far, have all tried to get better performance than very mature hydrogen masers and high performance cesiums. If your goal is simply to make "something that works" you probably don't need 4 separate shields, niobium surface etc. That said, it's probably not a one weekend task. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
