    so now that we have a few experts on thread what about dichroic coatings ? and what about ion exchange coatings ?

    wiki on dichro process:
    "Multiple ultra-thin layers of different metals (gold, silver), metal oxides (titanium, chromium, aluminium, zirconium, magnesium) and silica are vaporised by an electron beam in a vacuum chamber. The vapour then condenses on the surface of the glass in the form of a crystal structure."

    where can i score an electron beam ?

    i have been in some mirror and optics labs at the recently built optics center at the univ. of az and got a tour of some of the lasers labs, and labs where they do vacuum coatings on glass to create different refractories, but i know nothing of the process.

    i know this is off topic and if its gets little response then oh well. i am also really interested in ionization processes. i have heard that synthetic sapphire can be coated onto glass through an ionization process, and as well i believe the ion-x tubing is a similar deal using ionization and copper salts.

    and sorry for the threadjack. i'v tried dropping these ideas on other occasions, but it seems like the stuff you want to know the most, is the most little known.

    "Refractories" doesn't mean what you think it means ... nothing to do with reflective or refractive properties, which is what I assume you mean, on account of talking about mirrors and optics ...

    refraction. got it. refractory is the stuff for coating furnaces. im with ya mate. i am an admitted college drop out. thankfully.

    any love on the topics of vacuum deposition coatings, dichro, ion exchange coatings ?

    my family in india have little treats, kinda like junior mints, except their either coated with a silver leaf or zinc leaf. and people eat them up all the time. personally i think its the like having a hair in your chocolate mint

    lmao, I just watched that vid again and listened carefully.

    At 3:39 he says
    "Und genau das isses, das Scheiss Problem mit dem Scheiss Pilzle"

    which literally translates as
    "And this is exactly it, the shit problem with the shit mushroom"

    you can tell that he really likes making them
