I used every BNC Tee I could get my hands on but never showed it to anybody else for fear of mocking/derision/reprisals etc. I was always playing with the n-dimensional flexibility of n-1 Tees.Can anybody show us other examples? Who can make the biggest one?

Then we pressurize the whole thing at increasing levels... and take bets on which connection fails first!We could do something similar with the BNC art works as well... we'll need Joe and Dave's participation; Joe to provide kilojoules of power to drive into the artwork, and Dave to be the bookie to take bets on which connection makes the first/most magic smoke!
