aluminum whiskers

[Gofer01]

Can do a video on aluminum whiskers and computer part's break down and the industries decision in the 80's to take out the lead from aluminum and that cause a complete breakdown of 3 days lost of pager, phone communication, ATM failures and bank failures in the 80's  because of an aluminum whiskers on the G4 satellite.

 

I came across the aluminum whiskers problem while researching something else.

Just insert "aluminum whiskers" in your favorite search engine to find out more. It isn't rocket science.
