[time-nuts] homebrew H maser

[Attila Kinali]

Moin,

I had a little bit too much time at hand this weekend and read a bit
about H masers. I was quite astonished to see how "simple" these devices
actually are. The electronics are basically a simple matter these days
(thanks to the abundance of GHz devices for cell phones and GPS receivers).

The only problem would be to build a high Q cavity, get a Teflon coated
quarz bulb of the right diameter, an apropriate atomic hydrogen beam source
and putting everything under high vacuum. Piece of cake ;-)

Thus i wondered whether anyone had ever build a H maser outside
national labs and and specialized companies. Looking at the time-nuts
archives, quite a few people asked about the feasibilty of such
an endeavor. A few times i read of people who actually attempted to build
one, but never was there any website or any other resource with their
results meantioned. Neither did big-g return any results when searching
for these homebrew H masers.

Does anyone know whether any of those people collected their results
somewhere? And if, where i could find them?

Thanks
