I was legit boiling water on my stove just now and I was thinking to myself out of no where about jars for making diamonds. Well first off I have to ask a semi related question to my main question are there borosilicate jars on the market or jars that are thermodynamically more stable with pressure and temperature swings than the Mason ones being used?
My actual main question is, if there are more stable jars out there, what if there were removable jackets that are able to withstand -90°c minimum/180°c maximum and were like can koozies.
… Except instead of a koozie to just hold a beverage it would be for mining diamonds and only fit jars.
Just a thought. Also could be an economy option over using an oven.
Get an igloo container, pipe two npt to barb ports into the sides (opposite ends).
Plumb a polyscience to the barbs and fill polyscience with appropriate heat/cold transfer fluid.
Place jars with weights attached to the bottom or a metal screen ontop to lock the jars in place and reduce boyancy.
Extra points if u setup one way valves on the lids with a cracking pressure of 15psi and plumbed back to a cold butane storage container to recover your butane back.
I havent done this but this is my go to budget option right now, i am also asking to see if i can get the 1L gl80 bottles jacketed with proper glass and barbs by @goldleaf_scientific
So that i can put spin bar mantles under each bottle.
So first off you always want a box (oven) to contain any bursting jars (grenade)
Second, the best way to do this is to have a cold room and a heat source. This can be achieved now in the winter months with just a space heater or seed heat mat.
Fluid jacketed mason jars are not solving any problems in the manufacturing world.
Cant properly cold crash unless ur getting stupid cold though…
Spin bar on with heat up to 20psi.
Turn spin bar off and bring temp back down to -10C.
Repeat.
Should make crystals much faster, but idk im no scientist
Spin bar is a cool thing to play with. I found that swirling jars like you’re Gucci mane can mimic centrifugation and drop out crystals that are flocculating.
Send me a sample if you can or take some measurements. I just need to know the outer diameter and length. From there I can figure out the tubing needed for the jacket. You can also get the tubing in different wall thickness if you want.
I was just thinking of something other than a diamond miner because a majority of the diamonds I’ve seen on here are jar made. I was thinking literally an external jacketed device to slip on to the jar to heat or cool it…
I know you’re trying to make something, but a jacketed 4”wide x 6”tall column, I can see that kinda working
Maybe something inflatable, like a silicone thing that just had 2 male pipe thread inlets,literally an inflatable beer coozie like you said, but fill with heated pg or chilled IPA
Edit: maybe the outside could be plastic pipe and the inside be soft flexible shit that would squeeze the jar…
It would have to be soft because the jars are not perfect they are … not perfectly round
I’m sorry if my ideas are too small or too stupid for you big company folk but I’m just trying to throw an idea out there that seems cute or somewhat useful
why do u need to get to 180c with butane??
