[PSUBS-MAILIST] Penetrator testing

[hank pronk]

Sorry Jon,
I don't know how to start a new thread, I am not much of a computer nerd, wish I was.
I have ben using 3/8 in steel rod for the battery supply and 1/8in I think for control wires, again steel.
I wonder if other materials would be better.  That may be worth testing also.

Can I ask that we try to keep the subject lines on target?  Better to 
start a new topic with appropriate subject than hi-jack a thread with 
topic that has no bearing on the subject.

A threaded rod should certainly do better than bare wire, like re-bar in 
concrete.  It represents a problem however when you want to pass 8 or 10 
wires through because you end up needing a rather large housing to keep 
all the rods separated.  Curious if you are using steel, brass, or 
aluminum threaded rod Hank, what size, and what size wire you are 
connecting to the rods.
