This horny mix of emotions that lasted far longer<br />

than the orgasm experienced in the wildest dreams of<br />

my youth with Brooke Shields (* 1965), – Aahhh! –<br />

together in The Blue Lagoon of Nanuya Levu, – Aahhh!<br />

– damn! What was I trying to tell, anyway? Oh, right.<br />

I was overcome by this very book emotion in a similarly<br />

paradisiacal place in spring 2014: in Thailand.<br />

But unfortunately, not during an erotic bath in front of<br />

a lagoon waterfall. But during working hours. When I<br />

was commissioned by my boss to supervise the repair<br />

of two thin-film evaporator rotors with the experienced<br />

eye of a European welding expert. When the customer<br />

informed me during the initial meeting that the cracks<br />

would not be repaired by the conventional TIG welding<br />

process, as I had originally thought of on the outward<br />

flight above the clouds. Instead, by a laser! That was<br />

the emotion-triggering signal word, whereupon my fantastic<br />

journey into the world of laser welding technology<br />

began. Musically accompanied by the unmistakable Star<br />

Wars opening melody.<br />

“Ta Ta, Ta-da-da Ta, Ta-da-da-da Ta, Tadadada ...”<br />

The rest is history. To be read, in the laser story told<br />

in this book, The Return of the Jedi Knights. I wrote it<br />

while I was still at the DSI in Thailand. After my return<br />

home, this same laser story led me to the Jedi Knight for<br />

further research, Attention! – <strong>Welding</strong> connects – to the<br />

Jedi Knight C. F., at Maulbronn, Baden-Württemberg.<br />

To the Master Yoda of laser welding technology at that<br />

time. To the managing director of the DSI Laserservice<br />

Germany. To his lovely assistant Mrs. Kuzma, to the<br />

bright Mr. Hocke and to other colleagues of his team.<br />

To the, in my eyes, Laser masters of the Universe, who<br />

are fighting for the Good Force. Do laser welding with<br />

courage, discipline and know-how all possible and all<br />

impossible types of steel. Using the fantastic technology<br />

of pulse laser welding, which inspires me to write about<br />

it. With all its unbeatable advantages over conventional<br />

welding processes. Almost without welding distortion
