I have a little access for this day so..
I wish all a Merry Christmas ( a little late
) and
A Happy New Year ( a little early
)
Now back off to the mountains and internet blackout.. but the scenery and space that is so good has become great with the Line in hand ..

Just made first setup on Line V2. Silver electrodes are solid. And it is much easier to wrap kanthal around them.
I did not realize that this was a issue until now.

Some people ask me why Van uses silver for electrodes in the Line. So , here it is.
Copper has a high conductivity. Silver is more conductive, but due to cost it is not practical in most cases. However, it is used in specialized equipment, such as satellites, and as a thin plating to mitigate skin effect losses at high frequencies. Because of its ease of connection by soldering or clamping, copper is still the most common choice for most light-gauge wires.
Aluminum wire has been used in building wiring for its lower cost. By weight, aluminum has higher conductivity than copper, but it has properties that cause problems when used for building wiring. It forms a a resistive oxide within connections, causing terminals of wiring devices to heat. Aluminum can "creep", slowly deforming under load, eventually causing device connections to loosen, and also has a different coefficient of thermal expansion compared to the materials used for connections. This accelerates the loosening of connections. These effects can be avoided by using wiring devices approved for use with aluminum.
Aluminum wires used for low voltage distribution, such as buried cables and service drops, require use of compatible connectors and installation methods to prevent heating at joints. Aluminum is also the most common metal used in high-voltage transmission lines, in combination with steel as structural reinforcement.
Anodized aluminum surfaces are not conductive. This affects the design of electrical enclosures that require the enclosure to be electrically connected.

As you can see copper has a high conductivity. But it is toxic so we cant use that.
If we use gold , well , Line would be in the price range of a gold Rolex.
So silver is the only solution to get the best out of genesis system.
In version two we will use hard silver wire (18G, 99.999%).
I am testing it , so far , it works great. It is much harder. You cant bend it , it stays in place.

so how is this round coming along any updates? when will they ship? and will we be notified witht he tracking number ect ( I paid 20$ for the good shipping)
The work starts after a new year. You will have updates here all the time.
And yes, you will get tracking , insurence for the package , signature on delivery , priority airmail + , etc...
