Welcome Vacuum Experimenters!
Gee... I sure hope I spelled that right! Anyway, Welcome to this new Yahoo Group for the casual experimenter in Vacuum or High Vacuum (from now on Vac or HiVac). Searching the web I've found a few

capillary tube vs valve
In James Lerch's system he uses an adjustable valve to "tune" the amount of cooling derived from an air conditioning compressor to cool his cold trap... I have a similar cold trap (3 actually) that I

Is this group gonna make it?
Hi... It's been a while since anyone (me) posted. We now have 12 members, but not much participation. Should I keep the Group open or let it die? I've returned from Eastern PA with a vacuum coating

Ken ; hello , just joined your group , I confess I dont know much about vacuum coating mirrors, thats part of the reason I joined.I do however calibrate vacuum gages at work for a liveing.So if I can

Welcome to the group
Hi Andy... Welcome to the Group. I'm sure that your expertise can be of help to some of us as we muddle through. Where are you located? I'm thinking Australia for some reason. (Am I close?) Tell us

Re: Welcome to the group
Ken ; hello I work in a foundry, Im the lead calibrator technician, we have 5 small units we use to pull up to 30 lbs of vacuum to test for gas in the aluminum.Calibrateing them is pretty straight

Re: capillary tube vs valve
Hi Ken, Interesting question, unfortunately the answer has a whole bunch of variables! So here's my stab at an answer. The Cap Tube size/length needed depends on the following variables Pump Volume

Re: Welcome to the group
Thanks Andy for the Bio and info on your job... Hmmm, working in a foundry sounds interesting. Bet that you'd be able to make your own forks for a fork mount there??? Yeah, I hear you about finding a

Exciting Moments :)
Greetings All, To stimulate a little conversation, I thought I'd recount a few of my more "Exciting" moments during a few recent coating runs :) Good Times #1 Things were going well, but perhaps it

Re: capillary tube vs valve
Hi James, Thanks for the informative post on the Capillary tube usage. I don't know much about those things but I'd have to guess that the capillary tubes I have are about 6-8 feet long (in a 3 inch

Re: capillary tube vs valve
Hi Darald, James is the ONE to ask about silvering... He has done quite a few mirrors that way and I believe he's made a few attempts at coating them to prevent tarnishing. I'd bet that he can give

Near Field Evaporative simulation update.
Greetings All, Thanks to Peter Baird, I've added the option in my simulation code to support multiple evaporating rings. An interesting result from this experiment shows that it should be feasible to

James, In my photo folder I have added something you might want to consider. It is a common item found at most any Hardware store and it's called a "wellnut". They come in various sizes and I imagine

Re: Feed-thru's ^
Ken, Wish I had heard of those feed-thrus a few month's ago :) Would have saved a ton of work! Take Care, James Lerch http://lerch.no-ip.com/atm (My telescope construction,testing, and coating site)
