How does this work
Have you used the pump?
Totally does look like a fancy bong though
I have not hooked this one up but it is in immaculate condition- never thought I would stumble across one, only ever seen diagrams in the past.
Diffusion pumps work via entrainment and require a fairly advanced manifold and powerful roughing pump- not a toy for the beginning molecular still designer, I’m having some smaller scale units made in glass soon by a glassblower in eugene and will be bringing this unit down to the Bay Area meetup to show and demonstrate how they work, I just love beautiful scientific glass… unless I get a great offer on this I’ll likely be keeping it in my collection as a centerpiece

Glass diffusion pumps are an off the shelf component, why would you have them made? An ‘advanced manifold’ is not necessary to run them and any ordinary two stage rotary can back them.

I’ve seen those in photos of older organic chem labs, cool stuff. Definitely not something I would use in my lab but would make a cool piece for the office

If you’re able to dial it in, it’s gotta be cheaper rocking one of those with hot & cold reservoirs, compared to a motor powered one.
No diffusion pump uses a motor, they are all basically this design, just bigger or smaller, and use different heat sources.

Oh… Right that makes a ton of sense lol.
Maybe this is cheaper than steel?
This one is not but chem glass sells glass ones for pretty cheap, though you need the round bottom flask heater and a fountain pump for cooling water circulation. Sizing is very small for anything we do though , they would be great for a 2-5 liter short path though
