Can I send you some stuff? I have .25" ball values, ss steel connectors for valves, and several tungsten rods...
Oh, and you sir kick ass!
LMMFAO! My uncle always referred to the toilet as the "thunder mug". Leave it to an old Nebraska farmer.
Can't wait to see more rocketry
We used to call chamber pots, thunder mugs. : )
Your content always has a positive vibe. Thank you!!
That signal canon is beautifully made. 👍
suggestion for what to do with the tin, you can make ITO(indium tin oxide) with heat decomposition of the chloride form of the chemical that would be a interesting process to make conductive glass or what ever ceramics that would make sens.
BluVac is the best rated right now in the HVAC Industry. I've had mine down to 12 microns with an old yellow jacket pump. I've let my oil set forever and it still pulls down to 50 or less. I believe BluVac uses a thermo sensor from what I have read in the past. The Pro Versions can do even better resolution at 0.1 microns resolution. Your pump sounds like it is over filled to me but could just be the audio, or just a large leak somewhere.
The Ballast should be closed when you want deep vacuums. It pretty much bypasses 2nd stage and allows air to pass straight through the pump instead of through 2nd stage and through the oil. Typically only used when you are pulling down a wet system.
Fun little run of goodies.
Maybe you could try making tin pest or possibly spotted metal used in organ pipes.
Love the pump sounds 13:00
Beautiful knife and beautiful pencil holder...
Love the cannon. Sweet video in variety. Love your coloured attitude and always get a laugh. Makes this covid sheet better!
So happy to see a notification from your channel!!!
Cool thunder mug.
Nice stripes in that grass
thundermugs are epic pieces of pyro power!!
Since that tin is so pure you could make grey tin, a different allotrope that's really brittle. I'm not sure why you'd want it but it's the only thing I know of that require super high purity tin.
You want a cool experiment to do with tin? Put in the freezer. That's cool. More than cool, it's cold.
There's more to it than that, though. It should turn into α-tin and go grey and crumbly.
Keep your tin in the ice!
You want cooler than that? Bend one of the ingots and hear the tin cry.
There is a process of using tin for producing tin plated PCBs. The technique used a negative resist to define the required circuit tracks. Tin is then electroplated onto plain copper. The excess copper is then removed using a solution of sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide as an etchant.
The plated tin acting as the resist, defining the required tracks. This method is used to produce fine detailed PCBs, pre-coated in tin.
This method was used to produce prototype PCBs at one of the companies at which I worked. One of the waste products from the process is very high purity copper sulphate. What the final etchant tank was cleaned out every few months, the residue contained extremely large, beautifully formed, copper sulphate crystals weighting several pound each.
Here from NightHawkinLight and loving it so much.
Great channel my guy!
I made some willow powder!! It works perfectly. When i get the courage to make a video i will show my turnout. Thank you
you could make a little bit of solder with that tin
I use a digital cps micron gauge when pulling systems down. When pulling a system down with a 6 cfm pump I can get them down to 50 or so microns.
tech ingredients has a nice video on super high vacuum
for a better result from the signal cannon , try using bread as a packing material , it works a lot better .
A couple folks have suggested that, I will definitely have to give it a try! Thank you Bryon
@@ElementalMaker I have tried using a three week old loaf of bread this why. I can say... it doesn't hurt a bit. Bob, if you think of a way to bake bread from a used rocket motor, let me know LOL.
great "pencil" holder.
he's going to ruin that bong if he keeps putting black powder in it.
The blu vac is bluetooth so u can put it on a condenser and check it on your phone while away from the gauge.
If you have very clean tin, you can get world class cookware for cheap: Buy old shitty copper pots where the tinning has been scratched away, polish them (if they're small enough, clamping them up and just sticking one of those fluffy ball polishing things on a drill and putting 'er in there will work), and re-tin them over a very hot heating element or a fire.
Bam, now you're cooking like a god.
You could always use some of the tin to mix with copper and make bronze
YOU'LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT!!
tap it for spark plug w/center fire plug and fire it with a coil/plug unit. easy firing everytime..
your big blue gauge is probably a capacitive type gauge, the fitting is either KF16 or KF25.
also, the thermocouple type gauge are only good for roughing vacuum, such as the capacitives. When you want to get into high vacuum, you will need either a bayardalpert gauge or a penning type gauge. the latter is only a rough indication of pressure though.

I work with UHV systems
Those titanium grates would look amazing as knife scales or "pew pew" grips with some clear epoxy. Could totally see those w the clear mags so u can see through grip for round count. I wonder how rigid it'd be tho 🤔
If you like toys like this you would love to have a poke around in my calibration gear lol
On the DVR 2 vacuum gauge the UPPER limit is 1060 mbar or 795 mtorr. The LOWER limit is 1 mbar or 1 mtorr
I also grew up calling the toilet, the thunder mug, via my grandmother... Lil
You can remove most of the water from the pump oil by running it with the ballast open and the vacuum side closed for a few hours, this will mist more oil than usual.
Woo!
Ayy I have that book...
"Don't turn it on, take it apart!" Use your new screwdriver to open the little vacuum gauge and find out what kind of sensor it uses. Thank you EEVblog...
To really get your TM thundering, plug with bread. Not the full grained stuff, the unhealthy starchy white stuff. Offcourse you need to place a small seperator of newspaper or TP between your BP charge and the bread. Have fun feeding the ducks and be safe.
Good to know! Time to make some wonder bread fly!
Hi there my friend. I didn’t realise it’s been a year since I made that bloody really heavy bronze Shell/Signal Cannon. I must admit I’m pretty sure they opened the Parcel and had a look. On the shipping form it was called a desk top pencil holder, I put some pencils down the bore, no worries. I bet it wouldn’t work the other way around, US to the UK. HaHa.
I live in Scotland and I love The Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. 👍.
Very Best Regards from Bob.
I'm gonna be using that beauty on new years eve! Can't wait to hear it's thunder again. Just sent you guys a Christmas card! Hopefully it gets to you in time
Hello Bob dear friend. My message was a bit Discombobulated mate. I’ll bugger off until I get a clear head. ❤️.
Is there a "cal" button on the back of the blue gauge? If you hold that in and power it on you might be able to change the units.. I have a parani gauge that's the same brand I think
Bob I was interested to see a copy of 'With the Old Breed' by WWII Veteran and US Marine Eugene Sledge whose deeds along with those of his fellow Marines, were made particularly famous by the Tom Hanks/HBO series 'The Pacific'.
It is worthy of mention because so few people these days give any thought to the fact that the US and Australia are basically next door neighbors because the fence between us is the Pacific ocean.
So many US servicemen particularly Marines but also sailors, sacrificed their lives or their youth in the Pacific during WWII.
All too often the survivors sacrificed their health as well and did so to protect our nations from the horrendously atrocious evil arising due to the viciously cruel Japanese military attitudes of the time.
Im thinking Bob from the UK might be from near Falkirk. Plus, dont they Xray the mail?
Hi, Bob from the UK here. I responded to your message but it went into the regular replies.
The vacuum gauge was used in cryogenic freezing liquid/gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) experiments. I will see if I can find some the papers created from the experiments and email them to you Bob. Should make for some great bed time reading ROFL.
Awesome! It'll be very cool to know what that gauge was used for in its past. SF6 is always a treat
If you want an accurate vacuum gauge. Slap together a mercury monomer.
I been trying to make the lead dioxide anodes by its all in how you etch the titanium that's the key removing to2 completely
TIME!
I thought that cannon was a pipe lol. I'm sure both ways pack a punch.ThankQ.TkEZ>UK
2:28 - BILLY!
Ultra/very pure tin can be used for canning. Making lids for jars or soldering can joints. Just watch out for the botulism!!!😱
Of course he made the knife... Dude could whoop the crap out of MacGyver any day!
Nice down-to-earth explosive content that sucks (a good vacuum)
Wait, what's wrong with sending artillery shells through the post?
Hey, I've got zero objections to it! Lol here in the US you can actually get 50bmg API shipped right to your door. It's about $80usd a round, but still 😁
@@ElementalMaker just like in the UK then😂
I'm hoping that those titanium mesh don't dissolve for the $1 you paid for them.
Spark test shows it to be at least mostly real titanium lol
@@ElementalMaker imagine if you had dexters laboratory and all the crazy stuff you could build
Awesome goodies! Incidentally, that postcard with the two horses on it is of the Kelpies sculpture near Falkirk - I've driven past it many times 😁 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kelpies
Maybe try to grow some tin whiskers?
could you make a rocket motor with tin and sulfur? or grow tin-IV-oxide cristal?
Vacuum: Pull down for what?
Tin-Indium Oxide "plating"? It's a fascinating compound, that needs to be sputtered onto surfaces.
Why tin in freedom seeds? Unless you're making bronze freedom seeds, which would be interesting.
Tin alloyed into in the lead helps it fill out the molds better. Antimony is also added for hardness
@@ElementalMaker Neat, I knew of antimony additive to freedom seeds for hardness, but did not know about tin application
You gotta be AVE's offspring!
Tin whiskers time lapse
What type of gauge is it? The large one that is..
It's a vacubrand dvr-2 👍
I love thunder mugs. Did you use homemade black powder? I have been using fffg pyrodex, it seems to work good. Please let me know what's best.
Of course it's homemade! Look up "ElementalMaker cannon"
@@ElementalMaker will do for sure. I'm new to your channel and I'm loving all the videos. Even the ones I dont fully understand.
@@jmac3693 glad your enjoying my friend! 👍
I'm curious how far you could get with the old pump. Is it a single stage one?
My 2-stage mechanical pump goes down to 45µmHg with my sketchy vacuum system made of BSP plumbing fittings sealed with JB Weld.
I kinda doubt your old pump can do that if it's just a single-stage unit.
As for the HVAC gauge, I think those are usually Thermocouple gauges as you said. Yours has a 5% accuracy +-5 microns, which is typical for those.
I've got a few Fieldpiece AVG2 Thermocouple gauges, and each of them displays it a few microns differently. But they give a decent indication.
Good to know they are thermocouple type gauges! That's excellent! Also my pump is a rotary vane welch duoseal, I think it's rated for 1 micron or 0.1 micron, I can't remember which. But yeah I need to do a major tune up and get some leaks addressed
@@ElementalMaker A good dual stage rotary vane pump when new reaches between 1 and 0,5 micron. Beyond that you need a high vacuum pump. A single stage rotary vane typically reaches 20-30 microns. (I'm talking good brands in good condition here, the cheap generic chinese ones i have no experience with).
@@exoc1 I think those numbers are for a well-baked system that has been running for many hours too.
@@Basement-Science Im only referring to the pumps ultimate pressure, meassured directly to the pumps inlet.
I work as a service technician for a major brand. After a overhaul will have to reach 5*10-2 mbar for single stage rotary vanes and 5*10-3 mbar for dual stage.
We service other brands aswell as besides our own and most of the pumps i come across have very similar final pressure, since they are very similar in design.
@@exoc1 Yep, thats what I meant.
I didnt know single-stage pumps can get down so far as well. I always thought the difference was more than "only" an order of magnitude. Do you know if single stage ones have gotten closer to dual stage pumps in performance over the decades?
Tin properties - can you grow tin whiskers?!
With the Old Breed on the table! I'm about to finish The Pacific series, how close is the adaptation to that piece of the source material?
That book is even more detailed and grotesque than the series. Highly recommended! It's unbelievable what those boys went through.
@@ElementalMaker I'll have to read it then. Thanks for the recommendation!
@@alexgustavsson5955 I am always on the look out for a good book.
What is the name and the author, if you don't mind recommending.
@@wornoutwrench8128 E.B. "Sledgehammer" Sledge, With the Old Breed.
@Alex Gustavsson I was "forced" to read the book in high school history. I finished it weeks before everyone else. About 15 years later (Jesus, I'm getting old) I ordered it online and read it again. Such a great book. I occasionally thumb through it while I'm using the thunder mug.
BTW the horses on the card are a depiction of the Kelpies in Scotland, a friend of mine did some of the design/visualisation work for the artist.

Absolutely awesome! Thank you for letting me know the background. Very impressive art
has he EVER showed his face? all i ever picture is the guy from that tv show wings lol
All these vacuum related devices. You'd almost think they're trying to tell you something.
😂🤣😂🤣
Do they mean I suck? 🤣
@@ElementalMaker interesting experiment, now you've got your gauges: how hard do (/can) you suck?
Why would you put tin in your freedom seeds? What are the benefits of tin vs other elements like antimony?
Tin and antimony are commonly used to alloy lead for freedom seeds. The tin makes the lead fill out the molds a little better from what I understand
And the tin helps the freedom seed "grab" the rifling better.
@@ElementalMaker thanks for the info. I'm going to have to start making my own soon so I need to learn this stuff
Close the balast at 750 microns.
Eugene "Sledge" Hammer
EM, those are vacuum fittings and you can buy all sorts of adapters and fittings. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=1%22+stainless+vacuum+fittings&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=1%22+stainless+vacuum+tee And I use a plug of coffee creamer in my thundermug. No cleanup! Love the AvE reference on the tin! You can use the tin for solder (lead + tin alloy) or sputter coating. ruclips.net/video/Cyu7etM-0Ko/видео.html
Ave is master and lord. But if you keep up you might have a chance at watching smarter everyday and making up for nilered. Lmao awesome videos as usual, just need more as always
Henlo
1/1000 bar = 760 microns= .76 torr
that tin is pricey. expensive gift
Where can someone mail stuff to you?
A post office
Systems Planet hmmm I was thinking carrier pidgin.
@@HauntingsbyDesign excellent choice
I made a pretty loud carbide cannon, you can see it if you check my videos. I love shit that’s loud. You should make one large scale 😂
Lol not sure if you were ironic, but if I would try to piss off my neighbors that way, I would certainly break the law here in nannyeurope.
Yeah it's illegal here in Australia to.. I'm on a watch list here for having glassware and chemicals.. the cops even had the exact pictures of the glassware from ebay and a full list of chemicals that i bought.. they couldn't get me since I hadn't broken any laws but they are watching everything including what i watch online, they knew who nurdrage and nile red are.. big brother is watching.. lol
@@markshort9098 damn man you should start using a VPN. That's some scary level nanny state and big brother stuff.
I'm quite sure they are legal here in the US, at least in my state. Unless it was late at night breaking some kind of noise ordnance.
@@ElementalMaker Australia went down hill badly after 1996 when they took most of our guns and took away most of our rights and freedoms quietly at the same time and it's just continued over the years until everything is illegal but there is almost nothing written in law so it's like north Korea where you never know when you will be arrested for breaking a law that no one knew existed.. all new laws are made in secret here these days so no one can protest against them.. our once great country is gone, lucky my grandfather who fought in the Pacific and reinlisted to fight in Korea for freedom isn't around to see this, the poor old bastard would cry.. I'm ashamed of what happened to Australia so i make sure as many people in the U.S. and other free countries know what happened so it doesn't happen there as well.. fight any restrictions because once they start they never stop, just like what happened here 😔
@@markshort9098 damn Mark I'm so sorry to hear that Australia is in such a state.
You're welcome for the Tin. It is extremely pure (Pb+Cd+Hg+Cr
Thank you again! Ah yes I forgot they were for wine caps! I misremembered and thought it was medical related. That's a whole lotta tin!
I thought it might be food related, I left a comment about canning.

You might be able to Colangelo with Alec steel and make a Damascus blade, then I lay some of your homemade rubies
TIN PEST! TIN PEST! TIN PEST! TIN PEST! TIN PEST! TIN PEST!
Yo first
Feel free to send me some stuff and check out my lame videos,
Edit: after I read my comment I realized some might think I'm calling his videos lame, I'm Not. I'm only calling my videos lame. Feel free to check them out and prove me wrong lol
.
This video sucks! Lol!
You do not understand d vacuum technology at all get a book and start reading . For your amateur work try using 1 inch copper pipe and solder joints as much as possible the fitting on your big meter is standard leybold vacuum standard you need a hard rubber ring seal the clamp you have one of and a central tube core
