    Good job Bernhard Bernhard I read through your explanation and it seems to be perfect. I operate 1:1 steam traction engines. One of the long answer questions for the operators examination was to describe how a steam injector works using your own words. This is one of the most complex parts...

    Canadian Electronics dealers

    I am not so sure about where to find ion generators but for most electronics I am a big fan of Digikey.ca. I use them both for work related stuff and personal and they have never let me down.
