Giant glass diffusion pump and cathode ray tube demo





This vacuum diffusion pump is made entirely of glass so we can see how it works. I also show a CRT built from a glass lab flask. The pump was bought on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Vacuum-Diffusion-L-2210-Three-stage-Four-stage/dp/B07MJ2RQ44/ Diffusion pump instructions translation: https://twitter.com/BenKrasnow/status/1170188966642896896 I used DC-704 silicone diffusion pump oil: https://www.duniway.com/catalog/diffusion-pumps/diffusion-pump-oil The tabletop burner and fuel are commonly found at Asian supermarkets.

  2. Dear Ben, I really enjoy your videos on Youtube. I just now watched the ammonia purification video. I felt compelled to comment. My first ever comment. I hope this message finds you well. The storage container you chose is most likely furnace brazed. I have opened these vessels. When I heard your instruction of no copper or brass, I was immediately concerned with your choice of storage. I hope all is well. PLEASE REVISIT YOUR AMMONIA if you have not already. Keep up the good, and AMAZING work.

  3. Hey Ben, how about a field emission microscope . Maybe one where you can fiddle with the tip - move it around to see a bit more.
