Fill the box with steam, and then freeze it?
Theory says that should get you to 6 millibars (0.6
kilopascals).
Brian -- If he has a 5 liter box at a 1,013.25 millibars, and
he wants to
get to 10 millibars, wouldn't he need to attach a completely
empty 511.625
liter vacuum chamber to it in order to get both the box and
the vacuum
chamber to equalize at 10 millibars?
Though the suggestion was offered in jest, I suppose I need to
answer "No" to your
estimate: connecting one big vacuum container, is rather different
from connecting
numerous smaller bottles in turn.
Isn't it?
