AMMRL et al;
As my newborn 1st born son once said .... waaaaaaaa:(
Try recovery. We do it at the whole UF at least 100 systems. NSF gave a
grant to us for the whole campus. Small systems are available and NSF loves
it. Once it is gone it is gone forever and accelerates to the Earth's
escape velocity. Helium will Always be the luxury cryogen for many
beautiful reasons irregardless of HT supercons advances ... most important
being safety. Yes it is expensive ... treat it like gold and platinum.
I would live to see the incandecent ball of strange chemical compounds
produced by a Nitrogen HT magnet quenching at 1000A/5000V .... perhaps two
seconds.
Helium and it's close cousins are a strategic materials that gives the
owners of large quantites huge world-wide leverage. You are feeling the
effects of our decades of waste now. If we don't stop we won't have enough
for the cool planes, trains, cars, tranformers, and etc the designs of which
are in the minds of many of you now. These designs can make us all richer
wiser and healthier.
Think about it.

Dear AMMRL,
I hope you are all up for another survey, this time on liquid helium costs.
Our supplier says that due to supply issues that are being forced to raise
their prices 25 to 30% this year. This leads to the questions:
What are you paying for LHe in $$/liter?
Any other charges such as delivery costs?
Lastly, your location and supplier.
Please send responses to me and if there is general interest I will post a
summary.
Thanks,
Jeff
