    Trying to turn water into ice relatively quickly

    With all the facts i have gathered. I feel like this might actually work. Now the real question is how cold will the ice get? It seems like it would need a constant boil and freeze to get the temperature where it needs to be, like watters mentioned in his first post. Anyone know what i could use...

    Trying to turn water into ice relatively quickly

    Sorry, car vacuum is not something that i am very familiar with but i do know there is a lot of vacuum as the piston comes down and most of it can be found right behind the throttle plate and intake manifold. From using a vacuum gauge for diagnosing problems in the past, most cars seem to read...

    Trying to turn water into ice relatively quickly

    Yes i completely understand where you guys are coming from. The issue here is this is for my project track car that does not have AC. I am trying to make a chilled copper line similar to those used in air conditioners for under my driver seat. I was thinking with the cars vacuum line, having a...

    Trying to turn water into ice relatively quickly

    Hey "watters" Actually now that i think about it, doesn't the temperature only slightly change? the water boils but they were doing the experiments with room temperature water. I know ice doesn't flow but if the whole line was water, then feezes, i don't see a reason for it to not get cool...

    Trying to turn water into ice relatively quickly

    I was reading that you can simply freeze water by using a vacuum. It boils then it freezes. I wonder how you could take the waters evaporation and have it filled back into the container once the vaccume is turned off. I feel this would work great to make lines under a car seat to add "cooled...

    Possible to make your own magnetic gears?

    Thanks for the reply! Did some reasearch on eddy currents and it all seems like jibberish to me. From what i took in is that it happens whenthe magnetic field changes within a non magnet item. I was considering using the repel side since i was told the repel side is much stronger with repel...

    Possible to make your own magnetic gears?

    Is it possible? Could i cut a round piece of aluminum and stick magnets into it to resemble a spur gear? I am trying to make a 4:1 gear ratio but eliminate friction, i was thinking if i could custom fit magnets in the aluminum wheel (since magnets are not atrracted to aluminum). I would have...

    Where/how to make a plastic piston valve

    Intresting.. I took apart one spray bottle i had and saw that cup seal that you just mentioned.. Really interesting, the only gaskets and o ring i have ever used were parts for a car like pistons and misc parts. It seems to slide easy since its plastic against plastic, and the cup skirt is a tad...

    Where/how to make a plastic piston valve

    The syringe is a good idea. But even the syringe doesn't give "spray bottle like" ease with the trigger

    Where/how to make a plastic piston valve

    I have tried everything and it seems like i cannot get it right, i don't have the right tools for anything. I am cutting the grooves with a knife and i always don't cut enough or i cut to deep and it leaks air really bad Is theyre really no place i could buy this? Its seems impossible that i...

    Theres no places these peices can even be bought in large quantaties! I have checked

    Where/how to make a plastic piston valve

    This^^ Thanks for the reply. I actually found pvc small enough. But as you stated my problem is the o ring is too tight. Even with all the lubrication i have tried like vegetable oil wd40 and pb blaster its still a shove to get down. Its either too "loose" and the water leaks or its too tight...

    Where/how to make a plastic piston valve

    I have a project for school and need to make a hand water pump. The thing is, it needs to be a "mini" pump. I will be using 2 mini 1 way check valves and a t fitting, but the problem is i cannot find a way to make the actual piston pump. I also need a spring to draw the piston back up so i can...

    Need design for a rectangle "like" spray bottle

    I am sorry for the mis-understanding, I just didn't want to make a long post for a quick answer. Basically I am trying to make a "shoe shine" looking sponge with a reservoir at the top. So I could use it around the house for various things like' shining my shoes without having to spread the gel...
