What a great video! You hit all the points I was after... for now, and you are a truly talented presenter. You made a potentially boring subject matter exciting- and it was really refreshing to take in your enthusiasm, esp for the lab equipment. It's funny to me how understated lab equipment is, Its the opposite of almost all products. Like, you never see lab gear in flashy color schemes, there's never any fake venturi ducts or other Testarossa-esque venting/piping/ ginmnicky visual aesthetics- and you rarely see any emotional model/series names like the THOR 9000 Hyper-Deep-Space Vacuum (which will inevitably disappointingly pull 22"HG..lol but comes in Fluorescent Yellow/Pink or The Limited Edition Model in Mossy-Oak Camo Cerakote !!) Some of this lab equipment tho is truly bad ass, and I love the physics behind it. Just consider the power of that MCGS system with the hidden-from-view turbomollecular pump!!! I work around NMR and MRI machines and I feel silly admitting this, but the sight of those machines in all their stainless frothy liquid Nitrogenic glory give me goosebumps every time. The analytical power of today's bench.... vs those guys 200 years ago fermenting and distilling collected urine in hopes of finding something gloing in the dark... alas they did find , and we stand on their shoulders, but wow!
I agree. Most people use the wrong pump for the wrong application. I have seen people use diffusion pumps and complain they cannot achieve vac, but they use it on a "wet" application.
I gotta say, ive worked in semiconductor and with our plasma etch chambers, we had vacuum pumps that could suck a baby through a straw, low enough to strike a plasma, i also worked in R&D for a medical device company making and testing negative pressure devices used for sucking would juices from every type of wound from evisceration to post op breast augmentaton but i have never been as freaking turned the fuck on thinking about negative pressure as applied to distillate, terpenes, and anything pertaining to THC. I feel ive wasted my life to this point!! Rock on buddy, you got a new sub, just keep talking that sexy talk..lol
Thank you, I had a hunch that my rotary vacuum wasn't to be used for solvent recovery. Im going to keep researching for the best alternative, I'm afraid to blow myself up
Wow I really don't have any interest in chemistry/biology but I respect those fields of science immensely and are thankful that anybody wants to work with it.. I think I understood like 10% of what was said..I have no idea of what those fancy machines are used for but turbo molecular pump sounds cool...I'm more of a physics/math/electronics/computer & mechanics guy and was looking for information on a pump for an vacuum fibre/epoxy infusion setup.. From the video it seems like the last one with oil is the one I'm after
Hey Mike, what would you recommend if I need to distillate phenol? The water cycle vacuum couldn't provide enough vacuum, and the oil pump or mechanical always gets jammed by the cooled phenol.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A new $319 million semiconductor facility is coming to western New York and it’s expected to create 600 jobs. British-based company Edwards Vacuum has chosen the state’s “stamp” site in Genesee County for its new 240,000-square-foot campus. The new facility will produce dry pump technology, which is a vital component to controlling the semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Probably the most informative vacuum pump video I have come across. Cheers

Excellent breakdown of different pumps and their specific use cases. Thanks for the information!

Can you also use normal vacuum pum like “3cfm or biltec” for suction filtration in on flammable liquids??
Thank you, I had a hunch that my rotary vacuum wasn't to be used for solvent recovery. Im going to keep researching for the best alternative, I'm afraid to blow myself up
Huh. I thought you just get a 12vdc diaphragm pump and aspirator to finish. Two steps but with ice water what could go wrong.
@@dalethomasdewitt Trust me if you're as dumb as me a lot can go wrong with this

Use a cold trap before your pump and it will catch any vapours
"pump in a box" "Tube in the hood" He said it, he said it!!!

yes my lab toats needed a new vac
thank you
great explanation. terrible camera work😅😅😅
This guy looks and sounds like ben shapiro
thats what i was thinking the whole time lmao
..or this
