I felt myself cringing when you were pressurizing that PVC pipe. A little while back I build my own pressure chamber out of some 5" PVC pipe. Luckily I had the foresight to wear hearing protection amd take cover behind a chair. Because at around 70 psi (4,5 bar) the cap blasted off! It sounded like a cannon going off in my little flat appartement, and it took out two of the chair legs I was hiding behing. Thankfully no injuries LOL, but do be carefull folks when messing around with high pressure stuff!
I built a vacuum chamber myself, I remember when I first tested it with some trepidation just like you ha ha. I have found that 50 psi will give the best results at the lowest pressure
You need a pressure vessel that you can draw a vacuum on. Mix resin - place in vacuum - apply vacuum - inspect, all air bubbles should have expanded greatly and popped. Immerse filled mold into chamber, apply 1 bar - keep it up until fully cured. Open, remove casting = hopefully zero bubbles. Often it helps to heat the 2 components to about 120 F before you mix and place in vacuum - 120F makes bubbles rise faster, vacuum makes bubble expand and float the top better, Caution, heating will reduce the working time, so only do this when you have a long enough working time.
assuming this is a cliffhanger... have to agree with the vacuum idea... but can't say for sure because I don't know what you are trying to do... Interesting regardless. Keep up the good work sir.
Pressure cooker are safe up to about 15psi. I really like your channel and don't want to see you get hurt so could you just spring for a proper pressure tank. They sell them at local hardware stores. And they can read up to 60 PSI. Safely. Some of your might get the wrong idea and make when themselves and end up hurting themselves. Pressure vessels are not something to guess with.
I got mine $25 in grocery store 2gal, replaced the valves and istalled bicycles tyre nipple right in the middle, so stock silicone gasket pups out at around 55psi.. 50 it holds with NP..
A garden spray bottle pressure relief valve is rated at about 35psi and costs about £6. you could just put in one of those and pump it up. Obviously, your way is more fun to watch.
Very good, the touch of danger is perfect. The only thing I'm wondering is why a pressure chamber and not a vacuum? That would remove the bubbles, instead of shrinking them.
Because resin foams up a lot before the air bubbles pop, way more than silicone. in more complex molds that would simply blow out half your resin and destroy the cast.
Wow! What a lot of fun research came out of this! Such as, Design specs for: body safety max pressure, altered safety tested, cooker max pressure, gasket material, gasket blow out safety defeated for model? hydro test, etc. And Straw for blowing extra air into resin while mixing. I'll bet it works like a hot damn though!
If asnyone wants to do it on a bigger scale, keep an eye open for a paint pressure pot. These 20 liter pots designed to hold paint under pressure for bulk spray painting or glueing .They can be found cheap on online auction sites,especially those which cater for finance companies etc
So why did you put an explosion hazard sticker on it? You think it could explode? Oh no, I am sure it will, it's just that I don't know when it's going to happen.
I'm curious what the advantage is for pressure rather than eliminating using your vacuum chamber? Do those materials expand or behave in another undesired way in a vacuum? Your subscriptions are going through the roof for a good reason. Keep it up please. Jay.
Example one: you want to cast a pure resin form on a wide open top mold. You use vacuum to let the bubbles expand and eventually float to the bottom of the resin to exit and disappear. Example two: you are making a resin composit cast, micarta is a good example. If you use vacuum the bubbles will grow but they wont find their way out and remain trapped in the fabric layers causing delamination and/or even bigger voids in the composite. If on the other hand you compress them, given that your starting bubbles are somway tiny the will get smaller in direct relation to the compression ratio and almost disappear. Also complex shapes casting, where the bubbles cant get out could be a good application for compression over expansion.
@@magnumpunch Ok, I've been watching the coffee come to save me and having a think.. I have an Easiwork™ pressure cooker (looks like a massive grenade) but I'm guessing pressurising through the heating of water within the system will mess with the whole process? Is that right?? What I'm asking in a roundabout way is: 1. Would steam interfere with the curing of resin? 2. Would the heat required interfere? 3. Do I need to get a compressor, a cool bearded Italian and a door to hide behind? Seeing as you're being helpful.. Jay.
@@jimphubar If you pressurize the vessel (whatever container airtight) with heat (water just helps but it's not strictly necessary, also empty or better saying full of room temp air will pressurize due to expansion of the contained gas/liquid etc) you will need at least a pressure gauge to keep the pressure constant since heating constantly could lead to explosion and heating just once will lead to cooling and return to starting pressure. That said bad idea. Just du as Blackbeardguy
HF paint pressure can on sale will only run you $87 + a good regulator and valve are worth it for your safety, if you'll do more than a couple pieces...
vacuum to make the bigger bubble pop and then pressurize to make what's left less noticeable would be the right way. i'm wondering about stress induced by the pressurized gases
Besides the pressure chamber, why don't you put it also on the vibrator tumbler? I think it would make the bubbles to "escape" better than being stationery... just wondering...
For those that say use the vacuum chamber...the issue is speed...pressure removes bubbles faster if using vaccuum it may not get that many bubbles out before it sets.... th-cam.com/video/yUerBWjMajE/w-d-xo.html
You know, these pressure chambers are mostly necessary for Bakelite types of resins. For pretty much anything else (especially acrylic, epoxy and silicone) a vacuum chamber gives you MUCH better results.
Hi. If you want stabioized the wood or put the resin very inside in the wood or in another little hall on every mayerial you have to alterne vacuum and hi pressure. If you use only one o the other the final risult is less precise. The resin or the cactus juice are less penetration. I Think black Now use together vacuum and pressure.
Hi, from the video I seem to understand that for air bubbles in the resin it is possible to eliminate them even with pressure and not only with the vacuum, right? Thanks for the reply 😃🤝👋👍
Nico D'Addabbo pressure is better for resin because it’s sticky, if you’re using a narrower mold then a vacuum chamber will make it bubble over and you will lose a lot of your resin
Selamun Aleykum. Seni Türkiye' den takip ediyorum. Çeviri yapıp cevap verirsen sevinirim. Buzdolabı motorundan yaptığın vakum pompası ile de epoksinin gazı alınır mı?
Pode ser feito com qualquer tipo de panela de pressão? Por que você desmontou a válvula? Qual o risco de explosão? O que você fez ou usou para zerar com as fugas de ar?
Cualquier olla de presion de Aluminio sirve para 25 PSI, En un orificio se coloca valvula de llanta y en el otro manometro. Valvula de seguridad opcional. Acero mas PSI, Desarmo valvula de seguridad para aumentar PSI
Looks like to lower the "check" before it activates (releases the pressure). But if an individual is already asking and don't know what the content provider is doing, best to consult a professional or ask the clerk selling the check valve at what pressure you want.
And what is the reason to use pressure chamber instead of vacuum? I mean, vacuum remove bubbles... as for the pressure - it just "hide" them. Or I am wrong?
Two different purposes, vacuum pulls air out of wood , when released it can be replaced by stabilizing medium. Pressure will compress air bubbles so they are not visible. If you apply vacuum to resin it lowers boiling point , and sets up while boiling
I use a pressure cooker , BUT ! I put the quick coupler on , attach a sixty ft hose , set reg. Pressure at the compressor, turn the air on , and leave it on the far side of a wall , release air when done then go behind the wall when its safe
Anyone know how to prevent leaking from the plastic thread. I made a relatively good pressure pump out of 6 inch plumbing pipes but no matter how much teflon I use it just keeps leaking. I know the metal threads on vales are all fine bcus I put tons of teflon and even went an extra step by putting resin on them to make it seal, then I also put resin in the outside top and bottom of both the threading. But the Air leakage comes from the top. Since I can't do a complete seal bcus that's how I access the inside I've already used up almost an entire roll of teflon and it still keeps leaking air form the threading. And I've noticed it's from one side only the part where the threading ends.
Could try PVC glue, but have to take the Teflon out again, clean the contact surfaces then dab some PVC glue on both sides before putting it together. There's some video here on TH-cam showing how - search for "DIY pressure chamber".
Annyai Presoski It’s a year old question but I’ll answer anyway Resin pours. For making jewelry or small plastic type trinkets. When you mix resin and pour it in a mold they can have a lot of tiny bubbles in the item. Putting them in under pressure squeezes most of the air out and makes resin almost like glass.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone test the bobble size at different psi. Great experiment.

I like how you show what didn't work and move to something that does! It's all part of the process of building!
Yeah, spending two minutes watching something that ended up leaking air was so rewarding. 🤦♂️

Pressure chamber, very good.
I was thinking it's a vacuum chamber.
Good job.

..stir resin with steel rod, less air whipped into mixture
suuuper dangerous dude, one friend died doing just that trying to make a pressure chamber in order to try a new dive reg that was designing.
I really enjoy smart people like you!

WHAT....you using the best pressure pan ever !!!!!! LOL
Pressure cooker should be good for 100psig, always test hydraulically, fill with water then pressurised it's safer.
I would not say It's much safer. High pressure fluids can be really nasty...
Start in a vacuum chamber to pull out air from the casting. There after put the casting in a pressure chamber to compress any remaining air bubbles.
A garden spray bottle pressure relief valve is rated at about 35psi and costs about £6. you could just put in one of those and pump it up. Obviously, your way is more fun to watch.
Thanks in a million.Great content.
That's a really weird pressure cooker.

OH I see, you're going for a diffused look. Got it.

would vacuum not be even better?
That's what I would have thought.
maybe the $100 for a vacuum pump is the reason, he doesnt have a pump
The air bubbles would expand and be even more noticeable. Under high pressure, the bubbles contract and are less noticeable.
@@huntpivot2 the air bubbles would be pulled out completely in a vacuum
vacuum to make the bigger bubble pop and then pressurize to make what's left less noticeable would be the right way. i'm wondering about stress induced by the pressurized gases
Better to put them first in vacuum chamber then for curing use the pressure chamber. Can the pressure method be used for stabilizing wood?

Not sure... You have a constant pressure from the bubbles pushing out. Isn't it better to vacuum to get off this bubbles?
Nice project, but you can remove the breakable safety valve from a pressure pot, without tools. Just push it from outside to inside
I wish someone would make and sell these!

Why not use vacuum?
What silicon did you use?
Where did you get that pot?
if this is your hobby, what's your job? do u work for NASA?
Why did you make that modify to the valve? I know is a 2 years old video, i hope someone can reply
do you mean the original safety valve? well, basically he just permanently closed it, and replacing it with the one with the pressure gauge.. i guess
And what is the reason to use pressure chamber instead of vacuum? I mean, vacuum remove bubbles... as for the pressure - it just "hide" them. Or I am wrong?
Vacuum causes resin to bubble over into a mess inside the chamber. Very difficult to do cleanly. Pressure works better, also helps it to cure.

Is this an ASMR
channel masked as a maker channel?
Why? I don’t understand the need for one of these
The increased pressure shrinks the air bubbles to the point that they are not visible anymore. Makes for a clear casting with no defects.
😂 tiene que ser cámara de vacío osea le tiene que quitar oxigeno para eliminar las burbujas 🫧 ala resina . Y tú le estás echando aire 😅
6:50 yeah safety first
My my, what a large tap you have.....
You need more PSI to get all bubbles out. Check out Peter Brown and other people who make resin items.
