- This is a video showing how you can cheaply and easily build a vacuum chamber. This is needed for certain projects, and I hope it can be useful for you.

You might realize when working on or designing some project that you will need a vacuum chamber. Maybe you need to make mirrors for a laser by vacuum deposition, perform a vacuum distillation of H2O2 for a rocket, or maybe just to get the bubbles out of your epoxy. So build one! - Věda a technologie
I found this video completely by accident, and found it totally fascinating! I can't wait to watch your other videos. Keep up the GREAT work! Thanks!
hey thanks for taking the time to make this video it's very helpful
Very cool. I've done this before. However, the sad part is that if you run a compressor in this manner for any length of time, it will destroy itself. The reinforcement under the piston was intended to pull air in with minimal effort and push it back out at high pressure. Setting it up with a restriction on the intake (to generate a vacuum) reverses things and creates internal forces on the piston/wrist-pin/connecting-rod that were never considered. In other words, the internals were designed to be stressed when _pushing_ air out, *not* when _pulling_ it in. FWIW - Just don't put yourself in a situation where you _need_ this to work for whatever you are doing. I learned that the _real_ hard way. You'll get some warning though, it will start getting really loud right before the piston breaks loose from the con-rod...
+BluntForceTrauma666 Thank you for the warning! I did not use it long enough for that to happen, but I can imagine what you are describing. What happened when yours broke?
Could you just reverse polarity
May May no lol. The piston goes up and down no matter what way the power is connected.
Very informative. However I'd keep the end of the hose that attaches to the tire and just use a valve stem in the cap. Then you have your one way valve and you are finished. You also should have a gauge to monitor pressure to be safe. :) learned this trick when going for my HVAC license. You can make water boil around 60 degrees using the vacuum method.
Thank you for posting this video DIY, im looking to make a vacuum pump for some evacuated heat pipes, ive heard you can make one with a bike tire pump also by reversing some things inside, Also for leaks, just make one of those one-way valves involving a rubber ball and some PVC pipe, leak solved.
man you are so genius if i can find a pump im makin one o and the bow is so awesome thank you so so so much i love it .
I used a glass tap fixed on to the chamber of choice, and closed it when the vacuum was drawn. I used a 1 gallon wine demijohn for my chamber, so I could use a rubber bung for the pipes to go through, and it seals perfectly. Downside is I can only put small items inside at present. Hope this may be usefull to someone.
Hey it be cool if you made a video about putting a bunch of weird stuff in a chamber
You're smart af.
Get a mesh shield around the glass - from defunct micro wave ( knew there was a use for that ) . Standard process re vacumm system - When it implodes as re the tv tube - you will not be recognised by your mother
good. thanks
I tend to use a generic Party Balloon Pump. That does the job for me ;)
Cool, good idea.
That "one way valve" you keep refering to is called a check valve.
+SMOBY44 Yes there are several names for it and check valve is probably the most usual. You can call it a check valve if it sounds nicer to you, but for someone who might not know my opinion is that "one way valve" is a clearer name.
***** Thanks for the tip!
Check valve is an application. It's a reed valve.
How would I make this function both ways. Suction and discharge.
You could have a hose from the discharge side and a hose to the vacuum side and use whichever one you want.
Subbed you a while back. Think your idea`s are inspiring, especially at this time of year with the bad weather (Scotland). So, what kind off projects could you use this vacuum for, what do you have in mind?.
Like Energetic tests said it can be used for vacuum distillation of H2O2. I might try making aluminum powder in a vacuum at some point, and I had this idea that you could 3D print in aluminum by "selective laser sintering" aluminum powder, but without a vacuum chamber there would probably be a lot of oxide forming and being included in the part. I will need a vacuum chamber also for experimenting with ion drives for spacecraft, research into nuclear energy and production of different types of radiation and maybe even antimatter, work with gas lasers, vacuum deposition of metals for making mirrors (lasers, telescopes, microscopes), it might be needed for some electronic stuff.
JaycubL Some cool idea`s, keep us posted. Some plasma idea`scame to mind but would probably require a much bigger vessel. I think i have been bitten by the bug,lol Start taking all the household appliances apart.Keep up the good work, i love it!!!....
From where did you buy this thing.did you buy it online or from a store?which stores would have these parts?
Please answer my question fast.
I got the pump from a thrift store. It was for filling tires.
It is possible to make a steam engine out of this little compressor can you show me thanks a lot. Regards Joe
It would be possible but the valves the pump comes with will not work (one valve will constantly release any pressure that you get in the cylinder). Maybe I can try to figure it out and make a video of it, or you could.
Shatter here we come :)
Daniel Bargas same reason I'm here 😂
jman102791 haha me too
Lmao Riiight^ But I’m Doing it Because i want Crumble. I just blow it into a brownie Dish and let it sit then scrape it. I never used the vacume chamber or none of that i just found out you can Fabricate one yourself from a Fee Different things i seen one with one of those big needles hooked to a mason jar.
lol same
Has any of you tried this? Does it work properly?
How did you hook up the battery? Is there a way you can send me a list? Appreciated alot
It is connected by a regular 12v car plug, the "cigarette lighter" plug.
No clips? Just the copper wire ?
Clips? There is a female 12 plug attatched to the battery by solder, and the male 12v plug was connected to the pump as the pump came from the factory.
Thanks
How long can you leave this running, since it's not sealing perfect and keeping a vacuum for extended periods could be an issue?
Steve Brown You could probably leave it running for a long time but it is loud, and the pump motor might get hot.
interesting but a bit too dark
Hi. The problem is i am not good in this things but if you make a video i will be great full for it thank a lot.
Man I've done this years old nice video though
i think when i make mine ill just make a big enough chamber just to sit a unmodified pump under a fake bottom and just run the hose and cord out quick and simple
+joetri1970 Good idea, thanks for watching!
4:26 seems like your hand get heat haha ^_^ always wear a gloves
Damn...over your carpet???---wow---I never hired you
If space was a vacuum we would be ripped of the earth or do I misunderstand what a vacuum is.
Gravity holds the atmosphere in place, the pressure gets progressively lower at higher altitudes. If you were in a jar with air pressure inside, then the lid was suddenly opened with vacuum outside, then yes you might get carried out with the escaping air. But vacuum is not inherently pulling on anything, it just means there is little or nothing there.
Our atmosphere is thin and would NOT stop vacuum of space if it were real.
Yes you are right space surely isn't real. The earth doesn't curve like a ball.
Braden Mende flat earth:)
Check out CZcams user. The King of Random. He shows how to make a one way check valve. Also you could place an O-ring in between the bolt head and the inside part of the lid of the jar and another O-ring in between the top of the lid and the nut, that should give a nice seal.
You''re a good man God Bless you. Not the type to teach Indians that guns make you God.
Useful video, but please get yourself a table and a light for the next one. Mixing epoxy on your carpet - in the dark, no way.
Thanks for your comment, I am trying to improve production quality with every new video and I appreciate your input. The light is on but that dark carpet makes it seem dark.
Hi JaycubL, just a suggestion: here's an example of good lighting and work surface for a technical video. czcams.com/video/wkxvODMYiDo/video.html
there is a good DIY one way check valve here. czcams.com/video/DG6own141z0/video.html
cool thanks!
