I am now beginning to realise just how far reaching are the consequences of recognising the existence of the Beta-atmosphere and that materials are held together from the outside and not from within. Hi Frank, If you only knew the stimulus of the Beta-atmosphere theme. One never knows what can evolve from putting ideas to print as the famous Bard would discover in hindsight were he be gifted with looking back over the centuries.   Seeming unrelated technical thoughts can be stimulated from a comment made on VortexL. For example.. mechanical seals and the never ending problems with their limitations. Shazzaam ! We have an problem with no mechanical solution... or.. have we been looking at it wrong.. from the outside in ....whereas we should be looking at it inside out.. <grin>. You gave me a thought that is leading us to investigate a " differential" seal. Wow!! We think we are onto something.   Richard
