The Thought Emporium - 2015-10-25
My method for making glass vacuum chambers. Use at your own risk, since they're glass any imperfections can cause them to break and even perfect ones have been made to fail if you stress them too much.

Hi there! Could I ask what material you use for the gasket? The edges of the one used in the video look rough, so I presume you cut it out of some silicone sheet, perhaps?
+Zheeraffa1 Ya silicon baking sheets. works like a charm
The thing is I just wanna build this stuff and I have no idea what I'd do with it.
build stuff and then build stuff with the stuff youve built.
Great video! 2 questions. 1. What kind of bit did you use to drill the holes? 2. Could you drill the vacuum fitting hole with a "same size" bit as the vacuum fitting?
Is it possible for you to restore the awesome items you mentioned that were once available on the store? Especially the hat that reduces your study time by 30%
Surya go to foc dot us or focus(with a dot between foc and us) it's a transcranial direct current stimulation device.. I wanna get one to help me study
Hi, good video, I really liked adjusting the vordes of the bottle.
and also the detail of the water to make the drill.
Do you have any tips on how to pull a near perfect vacuum? I've been trying and I've later discovered I need more than just a common roughing, rotary vane, vacuum pump like this one: Vacuum: 2Pa or 15 microns, Power 1HP

How's the TiN Sputtering project going? I am considering constructing one to coat Neodymium magnets for implants as Dangerous Things seems to have ceased to sell them unfortunatly.
On hold for now. Currently focused on bio work
Can you create a video tutorial on how to build a simple plating system like that? Id like to be able to plate plastic films with metal but electrophoresis didn't really work for me.
Quick, clean, and easy (3:13)

Why does a flat surface seal better than the rounded lip of the glass? (wouldn't the round tip "dig" into the silicone?)
I think the grinding is to make the contact surface even with the table. Of course the silicon will seal it but it's like having a chair with no same length feet. One side will be more stressed than the others and can break. (I hope I'm clear enough in my explanation)
Sure, but you want flatness when you're going for vacuum. Rounded edges are good for normal use, but are imperfect.
Spencer George not when your talking about glass, most glass vacuum tubes are rounded it gives it strength.. I honestly think grinding it is going to do more harm then good, especially if you have a fitting seal that cushions it
Spencer George any kind of modification to the glass messes with the grain structure and induces weak points where it can fracture at.. it's best you leave the glass alone after it's been blown
GogogoFollowMe glass does not work like a chair, you need to think of the stress points when being pressed down.. with a flat 90 degree edge it has the possibility of putting alot of stress onto one area on the edge and with glass one fracture will collapse the whole thing especially under vacuum.. think of it pressing down on a rounded blown edge, the stress points will push out in equal amounts into all directions in a way to help strengthen the glass. Glass is not like regular material when it comes to structure. Also putting the hole into the side of the glass further damaged the structural integrity of the glass, there are many areas for improvement on this design but I guess it works.. but I feel it would be a better idea to do less work for higher performance.. I can picture the stress points in my head and the arrows of compression flowing out, it makes more sense to just leave it as it is and add a liberal amount of silicone to form around the shape to add cushion all around the edge.
What will happen if you break glass barrier while reactor is still running?
It implodes and then sprays shards of glass everywhere. It happened to me once. Not a fun experience. You hear this terrifying cracking noise right before it goes. I dove out of the way when I heard it so I was ok, but after that I took to being a lot more careful when I made my chambers. That happened because I tried to rush a cut and made a little crack. Was enough that under pressure when it warmed up it went off.
The Thought Emporium thanks!:)
Hit the spot with this video. . Subscribed..
Glad you liked it! I'd suggest watching my new video on vacuum devices if you haven't seen it yet.
Farnsworth fusor are ya? Fusor.net forum member?
+Gendo Ikari used to be. not my thing anymore. but this was the same way I made my old reactors.
+The Thought Emporium I thought as much :) after you sate the initial curiosity it's just not worth continuing. They're like boats, they eat up so much money for so little reward, except boats can entertain more than one nerd. I'm just always surprised to see that obscurity pop up from time to time. Anyhow I love your videos, keep up the good work :)
Ya that sums it up perfectly. But i'm glad I did it. The skills I learnt while building it is the only reason I'm able to do what I do. It's why im able to fix most old analog electrical equipment. It just takes so much technical skill to make a good one that by the end of it you may as well have some sort of certificate :P Glad you enjoy. It's only gonna get more interesting from here :P
You'll need a pipette; pours out water
Bot too shabby I'm glad I found your video because I have a vacuum test I want to do with an old fashion oscillator from back in the day before AC power came around. Maybe it might be of some interest to you, check my project out if you'd like... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPFGizMp6_Q&feature=youtu.be keep up the good work...
What is the problem with this video? The plasma is not lit.

plz help
Your pressure is too high and your circuit is set up wrong. It shouldn't pulse like that. Also by the looks of what appears to be hot glue, none of your connections look sufficent. And that pump looks too small to pull the needed vacuum
This is interesting but i prefer to use a glass hole saw bit, rather than the pointed carbide bit, such as are used in this. They differ slightly because they're abrasive in nature, but they operate in a similar fashion. The biggest difference is that there's less instances of cracking and shattering with the glass hole saw bits. You can pick them up brand new sets on ebay more cheaply than the carbide bits sold at home depot / lowes.
If you're feeling cheeky, after you abrasive drill a hole the resulting glass is usually stable enough to heat treat, thus removing the stresses from the grinding process, but you need to have an annealing oven to do this part. Otherwise simply grinding the hole in and leaving it is best.
I thought you mentioned nanoparticles in your list of "merch" at the end of your video. Did I hear correctly? I went to your site and didn't find anything about nanoparticles.
Those products have since been discontinued
The Thought Emporium why you gotta be a dick, we want nano particles.
The Thought Emporium jk with the first part, but nano particles are awesome you should sell them
try to make a mini solar system in a vacuum chamber xD thats cool i think
it possible to build a home nuclear power generator for residential use (cheap)?
thank you.
Mokslas Lietuviškai no you can do it with a potato and a bunch of thorium and a pressure cooker, it's possible.
Mokslas Lietuviškai oh and you also need copper and zinc electrodes to put into the potato and then you need a chicken wishbone
thanks
Staba Kūlis did you ever make the thorium potato reactor?
Hey man, try running 25000 Hz RF in a vacuum , in saltwater . The H ( hydrogen) separates from the Oxygen, this is called electrolysis ( as you know no doubt), but doing this extremely quickly ( 0-25000 Hz) not only boils the water , but creates energy . Efficiency is 190% in a non vacuum state. I realise you may think "impossible - conservation of energy" or "energy in = energy out", but I promise you, there is nothing normal about it. It's free energy. Don't bag me until you try it 😉
Fish Rod you do know it requires energy to create radio waves. This would completely cancel out the capability of getting, "Free energy". There is no such thing as free energy, but there is such a thing as easy energy, such as solar or geothermal energy, even though they may require more energy to create than they will generate.
Fish Rod it's not real that breaks the law of conservation of energy
Hah nope
Why isn't "total bullshit" a valid reason to report a comment... :(
Despite the wealth of batshit in there, I've decided to call out the fact that 25000Hz isn't even close to RF.

Why not make the connections with the outside via the bass (like Mr. "Applied Science" does) all that glass drilling SEEMS unnecessary???????

@ThisSentientNeuron that should work, i never had such wire tho.
ThisSentientNeuron - 2019-06-09
@Dead Meme If I remember correctly coax cables are shielded?
Dead Meme - 2019-06-09
@ThisSentientNeuron yes they are, but are typically used for low voltage. Dont know if the shield can isolate thousands if volts
ThisSentientNeuron - 2019-06-09
@Dead Meme They should be able to, but I can't say for sure since I haven't tested them under those conditions. Plus, the part where you expose the inner wire from the shielding should be heavily insulated, else it defeats the purpose of the shielding.
Dead Meme - 2019-06-09
@ThisSentientNeuron yeah. Maybe isolation out of Silicon? A think layer should isolate pretty good.
