In A recent issue of Popular Electronics (?) there was an article about using magnets and certain alloys such as something called "galadinium" for cryogenics. This "magnetocryogenics" as it was called worked on a principle similar to that used in thermionic cooling, according to the article. I've never heard of this before, and considering the fact that Popular Electronics is not known for accuracy (and is also known for it's penchant for "april fool's" jokes) I would like to know if anyone else has ever heard of magnetocryogenics and knows how it actually works? jd onymouse@netcom.UUCP CI$: 75530,347 '' @cup.portal.com GEnie: onymouse
