I have to apologise to Bill for not mentioning him in my post above, it was just a slip of the mind, sorry. Pirate's done a lot of things but his work with JTs is unparalleled (no pun intended!) and he has even gone a long way toward developing an actual commercially viable product using the JT technology that he has explored -- scientifically -- and developed using what he has learned. Focussed effort from Bill and others like him, collaborating and sharing good observations with other workers, bouncing ideas and experiments back and forth in a community like this one, actually has added to real knowledge and has made some amazing and practical devices with great efficiency. I'll be amazing people with my HVJT for years, and it was inspired by Bill's builds, and I use a JT-based flashlight for illumination in my observa-yurt.
