Some keyword highlights

-adiabatic compression (don't push)
-friction and galling (bits'n'pieces)
-particle impact (impingement)
-static electricity (both types)
-Monel/Inconel (expensive)
-hydrocarbons and boom factor (super clean)
-vacuum jacketing (stay cool)
-copper (good properties)
-Aluminum bad, makes boom noises
