Purification and Drying: Diethyl Ether
มุมมอง 8K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Today we purify and dry the diethyl ether we preparde in a previous video. The procedure yields very dry ether which can therefore be used in water sensitive reactions, e.g. the grignard reaction. I'm sorry this is only such a short video, but I've been kind of busy lately. Stay tuned though, because I have a lot cool ideas for the future. As always: Enjoy!
Diethyl Ether Synthesis
มุมมอง 18K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Today we synthesize Diethyl Ether, a very common and useful organic solvent. I will use it in a Grignard reaction in an upcoming video.

Converting a 12V Air Compressor into a Vacuum Pump
มุมมอง 519K8 ปีที่แล้ว
I built a vacuum pump by modifying a 12V air compressor. The finished pump draws a moderately strong vacuum and is definitely strong enough for vacuum filtration or molding carbon fiber parts.

    Amprius batteries and the Cyber Truck are a match made in heaven. Are ya'll listening wonderful Cyber Truck Engineers. This is seriously needed right now. This Amprius battery will make the Cyber Truck irresistible. Listen Tesla this is THE TICKET. I doubt 1 in 10 of the people now invested will follow through with the purchase. With the Amprius battery that will exactly flip flop to 9 out of ten following through. Unless the price doubles then less than 1 out of ten. More like 1 out of fifty. Amprius will succeed with Cyber Truck with a 5 to 10 % price escalation, not more or more people will not be available. We kinna stand the cost Kap'n.

    My comment is when we go to full replacement of fossil fuels in the future we will fuel our long haul truckers with diethyl ether produced from molten salt thorium reactors and be no more expensive for the truckers of the future than our diesel today. About a thousand dollars to fill a 500 gallon fuel tank with diethyl ether with molten salt thorium reactors for the process heat source. Instead of ancient sunlight for energy, modern atomic power will be the driving force.

    @transientaardvark6231 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, I thought I'd do this too, but when I opened it up it turned out there was no "inlet port", it seems to suck air in through "the back", ie where the crank rod goes into the "piston". Something you can't tell til you've got it home and taken it apart. And the outer plastic case looked identical, so there is no clue whether you are going to get a modifiable one or not.

    If you could change the polarity of the motor, you wouldn't have to work so hard and you would just convert air pump to a vacuum pump in the same fitting.

    • @mitchd949
      @mitchd949 ปีที่แล้ว

      Incorrect. The intake and outlet have "check valves" which only allow air to flow in one direction. Reversing the direction of the crank will not make it suck instead of blow because the check valves are controlling the direction of the air flow.

    • @transientaardvark6231
      @transientaardvark6231 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@mitchd949 or to think about it another way, the crank converts the motor round-and-round motion to up-and-down of the piston. If you ran the motor backwards, the piston wouldn't even notice anything had changed, it would still just go up-and-down.

    I'm sorry to disappoint you, but that kind of piston doesnt make very much vacuum. Yeah, it might make some vacuum, but it is pretty far from real vacuum. Almoust all of those kind of small and sheap 12v compressors are made all like the same. And the piston is the thing! It is made to suck ear thrue it when coming down, but keep the pressure whiel going up. I guess you know what I mean? It is pretty easy to see, if you watch the "piston ring" seal. It's shape is what it is, and it is not mean to make vacuum. PS. Sorry and more sorry to disappoint your vacuum pump project.. Thats how I see this thing.

      I use 91% alcohol, rinse it in the sink faucet, and then do a final rinse with distilled water. I dry it with paper towels and then let it completely dry. If you eant to make sure it's completely dry, you can put it in a vacuum. But it'll pretty much be ready after the distilled water rinse. Anything left will be in the air and you won't be able to dry it more unless your work space is dehumidified. You can also let the glass dry naturally. Paper towels have never made a difference in my experience. Put it into a vacuum instead if you want to be safe. Just my experience though. I'm sure there are better "approved" ways.

    @ralfvk.4571 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice thing, I had the same Idea and your Video explains everything, what I needed to know. Just don't see the reason why cut of the Tube and removed the PSI-meter, as It would still have been usable as a regular compressor too. Btw. I am not going to use it as Vacuum pump, but to compress Gasses, like H2 and O2 into tanks, Like Cody did on Cody's lab, just without the trouble of having to capsule the whole thing into a bottle, like he did it. Therefore this mini-compressor seems to be the cheapest solution.

  • @SetTheCurve
    @SetTheCurve 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I realize this video is very old, but I have a tip: If you add a small amount of water to the calcium sulfate and make “crumbles”, you can shake them above a sieve to remove any dust or small pieces. Then you dry them in two stages, first an hour at a temperature to remove the first water (to arrive back at plaster of Paris) then an hour at the higher temperature to get anhydrous. If you use these crumbles to dry things, it does not make a cloudy solution and settles out immediately. You just need to be aware that drying time is longer (if stirring) or shorter (if no stirring). I suggest allowing the solvent to dry with calcium sulfate overnight.
