space station quality vacuum chamber

[BradG]

So here it is!:

I found a balsamic vinegar bottle in the cupboard which just gleamed out looking like an erlenmeyer flask.

So i aquired it and filled it with some of my resin, and connected a weak, but does the job vacuum pump i found. when left running for a while it does draw air to the surface of the resin so looking good. Il machine a nice airtight bung for the neck of the bottle but for tonights test a sealey bag and gaffa tape surficed. let the fun and games begin​

a mold i made from thick postal card tube, and machined two 1" aluminium bushings to hold the aluminium tube which has been painted black, which i made from some 10mm aluminium round bar i had.​

I know you are collecting body parts and building a person. I just know it! I bet you have a hunch back living in you bell tower too...

my building a person project was cancelled by swmbo when she refused to let me build a 8ft tesla coil in the back garden.

What did we ever do before duct tape? Also maybe she won't mind a 6 ft coil if you plant some vines on it. :biggrin:

 

[BradG]

lol now theres a thought, disguise it with creeping ivy.

Just have to be sure not to switch it on while shes putting the washing out :biggrin:

Man that tesla coil would have been spectacular. You could hide the feed wires by making them the clothes line...

Use hop vines to hide the coils then you could brew beer when the hops ripen.

 

[BradG]

And yet again the idea evolves! beer too.. perhaps i need to explain how multifunctional it is to her so she can see reason....

And during a bbq we can play music to the guests

"Sweet Home Alabama" - Musical Tesla Coils - YouTube

Just have to make sure everyones wearing a faraday cage :biggrin:

for those who have not seen that before, by changing the frequency of the electricity , changes the pitch of the sound it makes. with that, you can play music by changing the frequency for different notes

Awesome! And a cool rendition to an old favorite song :biggrin:

Are you sure it did not have something to do with the person project including large breasts, and was programed to say yes dear to everything you said?

Um, Brad..... I don't think I want to spend time on your space station. I can just imagine the space suit being sealed with a Pack Mate Vacu-Seal - YouTube

I was unable to replicate a womans thought process as code is based on logic.

You sure? there's no expense spared. we equip all our cosmonauts with a new resealable bag every day and a pocket knife for removing your attire in the evenings. our garden hose pipe attached to a divers regulator on a hand pump provides sufficient oxygen while working outside so long as you don't breathe too fast.
