Metal sticks together in a vacuum
« on: November 26, 2006, 11:08:28 pm »
My dad was a big history buff and told me how old style welding worked.  The mating surfaces of the two parts are ground very flat.  Then they are tied together and wrapper in cloth.  The whole thing is buried.

I can't see that this is the same mechanism as that, but cool none the less.

I'm thinking that this would be a great one for mythbusters.  (hopefully that show is available where you are)
