A tip about dipping the soldered pieces in water to cool down - you might not want to do that, it very often causes cold solder joints. Which means they're weak and won't hold as well.
Awesome man! I've been looking into doing resin casting and lots of people say a vacuum chamber helps with bubbles, now i can make one cheap and easy! Thanks 👍
Makes sense, i might borrow a technique. I'm for sure building mine to be used with the jar upside down though, with some way to stand on the lid-side. Because i want to be able to not have to have some kind of a convoluted lowering and extraction method, just put a paper cup on the base, screw the jar on from the top.
Man ngl you make me more comfortable with my hairy ass hands and I'm only 17 but bro I'm close to your hand hair length but my facial hair won't grow for shit Anyway thx ima use this to make very important money
1. Thank you for the informative video I appreciate it. 2. Jesus Christ in heaven please turn down the volume of the music. I have made TH-cam videos before and I am not nearly a professional at it but it's very easy to equalize the narration / soundtrack volume level. Take care and God bless.
I did a similar build, same jar, except I put the holes directly in the glass using those diamond glass hole drill bits. The only problem I am finding is that the sealant needs to be replaced ever so often because the glass is so smooth that the silicone sealant can’t stick to it very good.
I built a similar setup with a hand powered vacuum pump (brake bleeder tool) and got 30 degree C water to boil. I highly recommend putting a clear plastic bag over the whole mason jar. If a vacuum implosion happens it’ll save you picking glass out of your hair and eyes.
Any concerns on the glass imploding? I've seen several videos where people use glad and it's always the same concern.... I've pressure cooked with glass many times and that is under alot of pressure and also heat with no problems.. maybe put the jar in a wood box or pot for safety sake?? Just asking if you're ever concerned about such things. Thanks
The safest thing is to put the jar in a clear plastic bag. Vacuum implosions can and do happen even with tempered glass. In lab equipment they sell plastic coated glassware to prevent shrapnel from flying out during the implosion similar to how they plastic coat car windshields.
I saw recommendation in the part above. What is the fitting that screws directly onto the vacuum called? It's white with blue (maybe a sharkbite)? It's in between the elbow and the vacuum.
Yes, I built one. It takes a lot of hand strength to get up to 26 inHg of vacuum but I was able to do it many times. More than that vacuum level is almost impossible with a lever operated pump.
Thanks for the info and tips. I do wish the music wasn't mixed 90db higher than the narration, though.
Wow, beautiful! Looks like fun even. I'm gonna have to try this.
EXCELLENT VIDEO, BROTHER!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
CHEERS!
I want to make one just for like a transfer pump to suck stuff out so I'll put 2 holes in but pretty good method for sealing it up with the tight hole
Hi! Whats your max or safest vac pressure reached?

You could simply use epoxy to seal it right?
@@noname-codm4590 I'd think so. The right kind of epoxy should do OK. As long as it will adhere to both types of materials.

@BREANNAH THAYNE cool, ill try that cause the vacuum chamber didn't work out. Thanks
A lot of it depends on the resin.. make sure to warm your molds to about 200 degrees F and try using some alumilite
Carl Reynolds you have to use a pressure pot to get rid of the bubbles.
Ah perfect for purging shatter

Hope you’re well. I just found your channel.
Thanks!
You will need a good flux for the steel lid

Could you please share info about the fittings connected to the pump?
you could spend like $50 more and get a nice pump and a stainless steel vessel with a pressure gauge

Also drilling a hole into the glass will definitely increase your chance of implosion
Hi, do you think this could boil water at room temp ? (without breaking)
I built a similar setup with a hand powered vacuum pump (brake bleeder tool) and got 30 degree C water to boil.

Good evening, what type of solder do you use? 40%silver 20% or 4%?.
Because the rubber gasket melts.. Any advice ?
Nice
Galaxy Military it’s worked out for me dude!😀

nah them jars are strong af. there is no way one of them is going to implode.
Mine imploded but all glass just fell down so it was still safe, although i think it was thinner glass than the one in the video

Cool
Would love to see a picture of one u have built using this method
thanks now i can vacuum random sh1t and see the things explode for joy
Very cool dude! Do you have a vacuum pump recommendation?
I saw recommendation in the part above. What is the fitting that screws directly onto the vacuum called? It's white with blue (maybe a sharkbite)? It's in between the elbow and the vacuum.
it’s an instrument that measures pressure but im not sure what it’s called either
The fittings that are silver and black are just like shark bite fittings but u can release them by pushing the black part in
that jar supports easily -50kpa ?? your indicator was around -80kpa???
does it have to be glass? Can you use a Foodsaver container?
Nope, you can't it will collapse on itself
Would this setup work with a hand pump? I.e. brake bleed/vacuum pump..
Yes, I built one. It takes a lot of hand strength to get up to 26 inHg of vacuum but I was able to do it many times. More than that vacuum level is almost impossible with a lever operated pump.
So can you not just use a 1/2 drill bit
Music WAY too loud.
