I remember in my youth <G> that it was fun to get a small
amount of mercury, usually from a thermometer, and turn
dirty old pennies into what looked like shiny new "steel"
pennies. They had the appearence of having been chromed.
The mercury would bond with the surface of the copper.
Now, I have no idea as to how the mercury will react with
the composition of the magnet, but if you get a simular
bond, it many serve as a conduct cement to hold the wire
in place.
It doesn't require there to be a large quantity mercury
held in the slot like a reservoir, does it?
Later...
