So in principal I now have everything I need to make a liquid alkali metal thermometer.
propane-oxygen torch
didynium specs
argon supply
some possibly suitable capillary tubing
....some sodium potassium alloy.
First attempt will be made using sodium/potassium alloy, simply because it's easier to handle. Hopefully I will be able to show you how it succeeds, or crashes and burns!
