SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for building mechanical devices for vacuum evaporation, specifically a system involving a bottle, tube, and a pump or pendulum to remove oxygen and enhance evaporation rates. Participants suggest searching for information on vacuum pumps as a foundational element. The inquiry seeks structured learning materials such as courses, websites, or e-textbooks that provide guidance on constructing such devices.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic mechanical engineering principles
  • Familiarity with vacuum technology and its applications
  • Knowledge of fluid dynamics relevant to evaporation processes
  • Experience with basic electronic components for pump mechanisms
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "vacuum pump design and applications" for practical insights
  • Explore online courses on "mechanical engineering fundamentals" for foundational knowledge
  • Investigate "fluid dynamics in evaporation" to understand the science behind the process
  • Look into "DIY vacuum evaporation systems" for hands-on project ideas
USEFUL FOR

Inventors, mechanical engineers, hobbyists interested in building evaporation systems, and students studying mechanical engineering principles.

Im wondering what resourses there are that I could use to learn how to put together mechines I might want to build. One thing I had in mind is a bottle with a tube connected with another container that has some pendulam or pump that remove oxygen from the bottle with liquid to cause the liquid to evaporate quicklier without much heat, thanks to the lack of air pressure. I am just looking for a course name or website or pdf file or e-text-book that could lead me in the right direction with this subject.
