Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Cables and connectors - vacuum chamber

From: Robert Hedan <robert.hedan@...>
Date: 2005-05-06

Are there other dangers besides sound waves? I can easily protect against
that, I have high-quality ear protectors used at the firing range.

If a chamber implodes, can debris be projected outwards...?

Or is the contained liquid a source of danger? If so, I could easily drape
the unit with several layers of thick cloth. If there are no metallic
projectiles, that should be enough.

If I could afford a new vacuum chamber, I'd buy one. But the realities of
family life and trying to set up a lab is not compatible. I have to cut
corners, but I'm also trying to cut them as safely as I can.

And most importantly: remember vacuum chanber failures are REALLY BAD!!

rapidly at only 1 or 2 athmospheres is really loud, you would not expect
it.



Wow! Talk about Karma! I just wrote the same thing before I read yours. So
to all of you attempting this out there! Do this in a safe zone and don't
be anywhere near it while it is functioning!
