Thread: source for stabilized wood

4 Bars!?!? Thats a powerful vac! What kind of pump is that?

It's a home made job. Actually 3 pumps working as one using old refrigeration pumps. Learned to make it from an Overclockers site. I use it to evacuate phase change units. I use phase change to cool my rig (computer). It freezes my cpu. My little E6600 that is rated at 2.4GHz is running at 4.2GHz full time. Benchmark drag racing stuff.

I assume you mean refrigerator compressors? Cool!

That's pretty sick stuff! Way to get some speed out of a bargain chip!

Exactly what they are, I just took them out of old refrigerators.

Gotta love overclocking, cpu on phase, north & south bridges on chilled alcohol along with the vid card.
But, better get back on topic.
My pot seems to need a new seal ring, I'll replace it on next batch of goodies. I'm off to crack it open and let the first batch dry out for a couple days.

damn denmason! u got 4.2 outta your E6600!! wow man wow.

i am just using air with a tuniq tower to OC to 3.0 stable for many months now and thought i was doing alright but 4.2 is a doosy. have you measured how much electricity you're burnin up with your computer on? must make your bill nice and high.

good work and reporting you guys on the stablizing. keep it coming!!

I just sawed some B-72 & acetone stabilized ash burl into 1/4" thickness that had been drying for a week. It warped!

Let your stuff dry.

Did you put a "T" connector on each vacuum line and then connect each "T" ?

The reason I ask is that I need to build a vacuum for stabilizing wood. Using pressure is OK but a vacuum is better.
