(GSFC-5600) Subject: [tinwhiskers] Tin Whiskers Threaten US Mint (humor) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agSvkoPJHVM Turn UP the volume! Dear Whisker Fanatics, And now for a moment of levity. I am the proud owner of the US penny shown in the above video. The video is my creation while the penny is the creation of Lyudmyla Panashchenko who received her master's degree in Dec. 2009 from the University of Maryland where she carried out research on tin whiskers. To create this whisker treasure Lyudmyla used plater's tape to mask off all but Lincoln's beard on the penny. She then proceeded to electroplate the beard in her lab using a pure tin plating bath from which she had previous success growing whiskers in support of her research. As you can see from the video Abe really needs a new razor & those who might unwittingly handle such a coin might be in need of a tetanus shot ;) On a bit more serious note, some additional "whisker-related" videos can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jaybrusse <http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jaybrusse&search_type=&aq=f> &search_type=&aq=f http://nepp.nasa.gov/whisker/video/ Regards, Jay Brusse Sr. Components Engineer Dell Perot Systems NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Phone: 301-286-2019 Fax: 301-286-9778 Jay.A.Brusse@xxxxxxxx
