And "tubes" (at least the classic round tubuarl looking vacuum tubes) are made from a piece of glass tubing, sawn off a larger piece, with the ends eventually sealed shut.

But it needn't be. And the functioning of the device is unlikely to be affected by the construction method, whereas with a pipe-bomb (with the ends crudely hammered over) the construction method is likely to affect the way it explodes. Nice try though. But this is my last word on the topic. -- Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network. -- Tim Berners-Lee

Many years ago I visited the BBC shortwave transmitter site in Daventry England. When you walked up the hill to the transmitting site you could hear the news of the day with ionized air acting like a very over driven very inefficient transducer. The station engineer a friend of my father in law took me into the transmitter room and announced that I was unlikely to ever see that much RF again.

The tube was smaller than you mention, but needed two people to change them. I have about a metre long piece of copper wire from that installation, "scrap" since it's too small for anything useful. But it's stranded. I'm not sure what the gauge is, about as thick as a broom handle. So for forty years, it's been a source of about #18 copper wire to use as soldering gun tips. I cut off a bit, and shape it. It lasts about the same as a commercial tip (which aren't plated), so for most of the time I've had that soldering gun, I've not had to buy tips for it. Michael

Prior to the advent of flat screen LCD monitors, we all stared at monitors that contained a glass CRT. The letters in CRT stood for: Cathode Ray _Tube_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray_tube) The CRT itself was also most definetly not "tube" shaped as in pipe or straw, but the word "tube" was part of its name as well.
