HoSS Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Yeah CERN, I'm curing cancer single-handedly according to the journos https://www.ledauphine.com/sante-et-medecine/2017/11/30/le-cern-prepare-les-therapies-anti-cancers-de-demain, thats me and my hotcell in pics 6-7 of the article, and yes i'd have shaved the scraggly beard off if i knew i was getting my picture taken Super high vac is not my area, but i see a lot of colleagues battling with it. Beyond 10-8 and things get exponentially tricky, the outgassing of the materials for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its certainly more in-depth than most people assume, cleanliness being the prime thing! Then on top of that leaks... A big leak to us being one that would take 300 years to pump out a cigarette lighter. Our experiment was baking through ~6 weeks of that hot spell in summer 2019.... at 120C. That was fun! The JET experiment bakes to 300C and runs at that so even cleaner inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I've been reading this and thought this video may be of interest! There's a segment on sandblasting and the media they use. Obviously you've all been keeping up to date with the goings on at RetroPower! Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 If anybody wants some free media then I'm going to have a few tonnes of used stuff available current estimate is 7-8 tonnes... Will need sifting and drying * Certainly not the cheapest of setups but it is bloody impressive watching it demolish the paintwork and in some cases evacuate large chunks of render off the wall. I think he said this was his baby compressor at 280cfm (at pressure), the blast nozzle is about 1.5" in diameter. * Oh and collection only, can load bulk bags with the pallet forks on the JCB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
