The only way I can figure to fill a hollow magnesium piston with helium, and to fill the entire gas chamber with helium, is an airtight construction chamber filled purely with helium.

Well, with my perfect three year schedule (let's get the laughter out of the way now...), I'd have three technical electives (those must be EE), and three totally blank courses to do whatever I want.

Physics III, Thermodynamics, and...? :hmm:

Thermo isn't a requirement? It was required when I was in school.

I took a grad math class as one of my "blank courses." I think I took two other topics courses as well -- one was a DSP course and the other was an electronics manufacturing course, IIRC.

Nope, not required. They also put Chemistry as a pre-requisite for it, and the Chemistry is not required either.

DSP and electronics manufacturing would be some of the technical electives offered; EE has about 15 technical electives available, three are required for graduation. The three blank courses aren't even officially on the EE curriculum requirements, it's just where I have a 9 credit and 6 credit semester, so it could go as high as five blanks if I felt like it.

As ever, I'm not impressed with this school.

Where did you go to school anyways? I don't remember if you said.

Electrodynamic bearings would be even better for this purpose than magnetic bearings... but they don't seem to exist commercially yet.

I've been getting in the mood to tinker with some electronics. I haven't done it in 15+ years or so, so I'll probably start small with my microcontroller dev kit (assuming it ever arrives!) and some interface circuits.

If you're waiting on an MSP430, I'm amazed it's taken this long.

I've had this semi-cool (though somewhat pointless) idea for awhile and I might have to pursue building it in phases.

It shipped via DHL, so I won't be surprised if I don't see it for several more days. I hate DHL and their "post office handoff" shipping. It is such a ridiculous waste.

I ordered the "From the Earth to the Moon" DVD set from Amazon one time. For some reason, it went to DHL-->Post Office. I swear to god, I didn't get it for 11 days after it shipped.
