- How to make a simple but effective vacuum chamber with a fridge compressor and a steel pot. Very inexpensive if you can find these few components used!
A vacuum chamber is needed for some other projects that I'll do in the future like degassing resin, plaster, silicon and wax or stabilizing wood! Be sure to subscribe if you are new to the channel and turn notifications on so you won't miss upcoming video.
Index of operation and materials:
0:03 fridge compressor
0:19 Steel pot 27cm diameter, nice thick walls
0:21 Specific high strenght polycarbonate 10mm (better use thicker like 20mm for regular polycarbonate or plexiglass)
0:32 Gas rated tubing with thick walls secured with steel hose clamp
1:10 Finding, center punching and drilling hole
1:31 Threading for 1/4 inch pipe thread connector
2:00 Various 1/2 inch pipe connection. Doesn't matter size get cheapest, I'm pretty sure any measure would work just fine
2:02 Vacuum gauge bought on amazon: amzn.to/2Olh55T (affiliate link) with 1/4inch female to 1/2inch male adaptor
2:10 Assemble everything with teflon tape and "Hand Tool Rescue" wrench
4:09 Connect other end of the compressor pump to the valve assembly again with steel hose clamp
4:12 Sealing the edge of the pot with car door rubber trim (used to prevent damage to edge of car's doors)
5:00 leak between seal parts filled with silicone
5:50 rewiring pump power cable and adding a power switch to one of the live wire to make it easier turning on and off the pump
8:05 Thick MDF board used as base
8:42 Rubber feet added to the bottom side of the base
With my particular compressor I'm able to pull -27.5 inHg.
The ball valve between the chamber and the compressor was not needed at the end, the compressor must have some kind of one way valve so even when it's turned off it does not let air in.
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

This was a fantastic build that I had been interested to find for several reasons for many years . You are one of the youtubers that I trust to not steer me wrong. Thank you.
Agree...
I'm just really impressed with how fast this guy can file things.
dude its obviously sped up
Buy better files too. They cut better
This is SOooooo nice. No crappy music. No useless talk. Just what you did, Thank you!
My tutor at refrigeration school had the same equipment set up to demonstrate what happens to moisture in a fridge circuit.
Good video 👍
What an inventive project. I'm very interested to see how this vacuum chamber is used in future projects too. Another excellent video, Sir. Thank you.
Ohhhhh. I am wanting to build a vacuum pump, never thought to use a fridge compressor. Great idea.

Black Beard. Thanks. I’m going to need a vacuum chamber for casting resin to stabilize punky wood and to make thermal plaster molds. Your suggestion is doable. Stay awesome!
Love the way he used the misse's teak dining table for the jobs! 😉 😄 😂
Now that was cool! And I think I have access to all these parts, the major ones I mean - compressor, pot, pressure gauge, ball valve. All the rest I should be able to get fairly easy.
Thankyou

I just watched about a half dozen DIY videos for vacuum chambers. Yours is BY FAR the best. Thank you for sharing your excellent content!
Very common problem thank you for uploading video 😎🤗😎🤗😎🤗😁😊😁
Amazing effect!!!!. Gree

Cool, I love the fact that if you need a bigger vacuum chamber, for example stabilizing tall piece of wood, you only need to find larger container and add the seal while you can use the same lid. And amazing work with the channel I remember you having like 30K subs not that long ago.
Keep in mind that a larger container needs to be a lot stronger. If you just extended that pot up 4x in length it would probably crumple in the middle. There is a lot of force pushing on the container.
For improved safety with this setup as shown, it's probably a good idea to use something like a pressure cooker that is designed greater strength.
I used a 18’ long 12” well casing pipe that is 3/4” wall stainless steel. I welded SS plate to the rear end and machined a SS door with rapid clamps to the front end and used a strip of automotive door stripping for the seal. Used my gantry crane to put it in place (1400 lbs) and hooked up my freezer compressor and gauge. It takes an hour to achieve full -30lbs vacuum and stabilize late pieces of reclaimed wood that customers purchase to have included in their custom cabinetry. Made 100% out of farm scrap! (Except the welding rod and electricity!). The profit yield after stabilizers and waste is approx. $2800 profit every time I fire it up to make a custom furniture top, cabinet face or counter top. Even a few front entry way doors!
@Theophilus Jedediah
That sounds great! Have you got some picture for inspiration? Do you think, thay this setup would be able to work for small milking machine for the goat?
@@camberlubos3995 >as a goat and sheep-herd myself I think there would have to be some alternately timed electronically controlled gated cylinder actuators which cycled around 60 times per minute to interrupt the suction. With persistent suction you will damage the teats. Another issue would be that of needing a vacuum reservoir that could sustain a 15-ish lbs of suction while releasing vacuum alternately to the vacuum lines 120 times per minute (assuming two alternating milking cups in operation). If you can negotiate those challenges..I think a 100 gal. vacuum reservoir would be sufficient for a 20 minute sustained milking session with about 30 minutes to initiate at full vacuum allowing 15 min. Recovery to full vacuum between sets of teats to rebuild optimal pressure. This is why commercial systems have much more powerful (1/4hp) vacuum motors for sustained vacuum without a substantial reservoir. That’s my take. I think the standard home freezer compressor is about 1/20hp and not designed for constant running. I have to wait on the pics as I’m not that advanced in my digital set up. Seems the farm is too demanding of a mistress. I can draw up some plans in a drawing program but I’m not much of an artist...more of a tinkerer/problem solver. Farming is my retirement from a career in partial physics.
Esse dia outra parte desse vídeo muito nós explica o porque o porque o que deve fazer não tem nada para mim isso aí eu nota zero parabéns pela burrisse em que vc fez caralho
The speed and precision is eye opening
Made myself a recovery/vacuum unit in 1990 already to save gas.still work with one today.
what's the max vacuum it can do
Good work man. This project will be a great first project heading into a long shitty cold frozen and broke Montana winter. You may have saved me from starving...
Love the Hand Tool Rescue "shout out"
This was exactly what i needed.. thank you..
Now THIS is what I need.
Perfect idea, thank you buddy!
A lot of flex in that top. I had a 3/4 inch piece fracture. Because of the hole the plexiglass fractured easier. Since then they have put the whole into the side of the canister and left the plexiglass free of compromise from the hole. Great video.
>dale jones ...with the added advantage of not needing the 'diverter' mentioned in other comments, as well as an unobstructed view of the chamber interior...

Stainless steel can be hard to drill, though. If you must drill plexiglass, the drill should probably be re-sharpened to have a higher-than-usual cutting angle -- more like a sharpened fat pencil. Such a sharpening reduces the likelihood of eventual fracturing.
On fracturing: I can see the point
of centering the vacuum hole (it's easy, and it makes the pot 'lid' general), but there's nothing to prevent placing that hole nearer the edge of the sheet: as the pressure drops in the pot, the seal becomes stronger. With the hole near the edge of the sheet, you get a relatively unobstructed view inside, and less flexing of the lid at (what is likely) the weakest point.
I made mine with an old aluminum cook pot. I trued the Top Drill for the air and it ended up cracking and exploding. So now mine is a side entry. Really happy with the effect and also by adding a tank to the other side I have a decent silent airbrush compressor

Cool project, nicely done!!! It is working like a charm 😊. I will follow your steps and make my own 👍
I've just built one of these, using your video as the basis. Thanks!
does it still run? I'm concerned with how long a refrigerator compressor holds up without refrigerant as lubricant.
@@David-bc4rh still working fine. There's oil inside the compressor, so it's not completely without lubricant.
A friend of mine and I made chambers, using the 1/2" plex. He used his quite a bit and one day the plex imploded cracking from the hole in the center. It might be wise to move that hole to an edge.
or use something stronger as the cover
I had one that did that about a month ago, my ears are still ringing literally
Wood stabilizing resins will cause the plexiglass to fail. The position of the hole has nothing to do with it.
Cool project, I've got an old compressor that I want to use for something similar! I'd suggest wrapping the tape in the same direction that the thread goes so when you screw it in, the tape is flattened against the thread.
Thanks brother! Yes, I realize that after the first wrap :') Thanks a lot!

Pretty cool project man. Cheers.
この発想、、天才です。
Very good idea, I'll have to make one of those.
Very noice - enjoyed it. Competent build with minimum expense. Does your wife know you used her best pot?
Well done.
From own experience, you might want to add a L-Fitting inside the Lid. You don´t want the Air to blast on your freshly evacuated Resin.
That's a great idea! Thanks Markus!
good point!
You might also consider just bleeding the air in slowly to prevent violently sucking contaminants into your vacuum chamber
What is a L-Fitting? Just a L shape pipe or more complicated ?
When he releases the vacuum the air comes back in and blows straight down to the object under test and could scatter it around the pot. The L fitting would blow the air to the side. Even better would be some kind of muffler on the end of the L.
Also, I use a thick band of Vaseline around the edge of the pot to get a good seal.
Es una demostración super buenísima, en lo personal estoy agradecido porque la vi, muchas gracias
Wow, thank you very mucho for this video
Great Work.. I have made a similar one except I drilled through the side of the steel pot rather than the top. This gave the acrylic top more strength since it did not have any weak area's.
Also - since it worked so well I got an old fire extinguisher tank and used that to create an air tank for the compressor side. Added in pressure valve and pressure switch and it works great. Also... SILENT...
Sono tutte cazzate
why do you say they are crap? After all, you can see the manometer, you can clearly see the falling pressure in the tank.

Hi! I'm a student from BYU Hawaii! And I'm a big fan of what you're doing!! I want to ask a few questions about this project cause it looks helpful for my school project. The cover you used, is it fire resistance? And can any fridge compressor be used? Like a mini fridge compressor? The silicon rubber you used on the chamber, is it flame resistance? Hope to hear from you!!
yes any fridge or ac compressor can be used
you just saved me $300 thanks
perfect idea bro
That sucks! Nice job!

for the first time I've enjoyed a video because of no human talking and the very good picture
Change in atmospheric pressure leads to change of liquid state to gaseous state in water
Great👍👍👍👍👍

Thank u
I have not learned enough to learn a lot from your video. You want more videos. (Thanks)
Awesome video style. I've seen all the bits of this rig before in many variations. I still love the simplicity and clarity of your content delivery and build style. And that adjustable wrench. Yeah. I need one of those.
Thank you! How did you start the compressor without a start signal? I have the same model, did you connected C to something?
Solved bridging C and L
I'm gonna make a few of these. Thanks!
thanks for your efforts l wish you to complete your project and i wish you tell me how it works
only thing to remember, on the pumping side of the compressor, tiny droplets of oil will escape until no oil will be left and the compressor will seize.
Thus either recirculate the escaping oil OR refill after some use (should be 500 gr the std charge, so you might want to check the weight of the whole kit).

Excellent! Now I want to build one!
One thing, though: don't blow on solder joints, let them cool at their own rate.
Is soldering at that point even advised. Voltage rate.
I built one of these a couple years ago. I made my own chamber using 1 inch thick MDF, and 1 inch thick plexiglass for the top. I sealed the MDF with polyurethane, and used polyurethane glue and 2 inch screws every 2 inches to assemble the box. I built my chamber to be 24x24x24 inches. It's larger than what I need it to be, but if something big ever needs to go in there, it can. I put a very thick (about the diameter of a US Nickle coin) bead of silicone on the top edges of the MDF chamber, and covered the silicone with cling wrap from the kitchen. I then gently pressed the plexiglass onto the silicone, trying to avoid as much squeeze out as possible. The cling wrap prevented the plexiglass from sticking to the silicone. I let that sit for two weeks to be 110% sure the silicone fully cured before removing the plexiglass and cling wrap. I then added the plumbing parts, and it's still working flawlessly. I have had to replace the silicone on it a couple times, but that's just the nature of the beast, I guess. Watching how much flex you are getting with your plexiglass seems a bit dangerous. When that sheet has been stressed too many times, it will fail, without warning, and it's not going to be a very fun day when it does. One more suggestion would be for you to add the plumbing as close to the edge of your pot as possible to avoid air from getting blasted into your epoxy or silicone after degassing. I like your design, but I would definitely get some thicker plexiglass. The best part of your build and mine, is the amount of $$$$ we saved.
The plexiglass will plastic before it fails. Meaning a noticeable stretch. Itll be very obvious before it ever fails.
@@fajile5109 Yeah, I always check it with a straight edge before I use it just to be safe, and I also look for signs of stress in the plexiglass periodically while using it. The MDF has been blessed with many applications of tung oil, and it's almost as tough as concrete now.
great ... success is always ... continued
Hello from Brazil. Very interesting the experiment. You could test the propagation of sound in the vacuum. I recommend using an acoustic box and not a radio, because the electrolytic capacitors will leak or explode. If you do the experiment, you could show us. Goodbye.
I think the radio can work too. Just like the testicles hang outside. two wires for the speaker can go through the perspex for the speaker inside. or magnetic coupling- oh yeah I've done that before and the speaker reproduced the sound quite well.

I wonder if creating a diverter, maybe just a 90 elbow on the air port under the lid would prevent the splashing you had at the end.
a 90 degree elbow could potentially threaten how much vacuum he gets or make it a lot slower to reach maximum pressure. A relief valve somewhere else could be the right call
I'd assume slowly letting air back in would be the optimal choice, given that I have really have no idea how resin or other stuff the puts in there are going to behave under rapid pressure changes.

I wonder if the compressor valves will degrade over time? Because I think it's not designed for pulling vacuum but to compress the refrigerant.
Agree...The power of a refrigerator compressor is limited to a cooling system the size of a refrigerator

*_You have great content, you have tons of stars and I feel like I want to hit subscribe more than once…_*
Salut ma couille, d'expérience je peut te conseiller de faire le trou d'aspiration directement dans la casserole pour ne pas fragiliser ton plexiglas, et tu peut ajouter un coude sur l'intérieur du contenant aussi,pour que l'air qui rentre souffle dans une direction qui abîmera pas l'objet a l'intérieur, tu peut utiliser un scellement liquide spécial tuyaux de gaz, certain résiste à des pressions énorme , beaucoup plus que le téflon. Ça et fait attention si tu tapote le manomètre, le vide à tendance à explosée dans crié gard ^^
Son plexi a l'air assez épais ,a mon avis il a pas voulu flinguer sa marmite .

Just a few things to be aware of: you might want to put a trap on the inlet of the vacuum pump to ensure vapor doesn't contaminate or damage your pump. Secondly, be aware that pumps need oil and continuous operation as a vacuum pump is not what this is rated for, so expect to need to service it more often than normal. Third, that plastic lid is a big imposion hazard. If you won't rebuild it with tougher materials like aluminum or steel, at least wear your safety glasses and be prepared for shrapnel!
