I’ve tried writing a strongly worded letter to my evaporator and it just didn’t have the same effect

Try sending that letter at 28kHz…maybe as an F# 
Really brings new meaning to “screaming solvent recovery”…

This is exactly the thing I was hoping to sit down and read. I just queried @rowan as to the nature of making a massive ultrasonic generator from scratch and well, it seems like it’s doable in a Sudanese college at least (disclaimer, haven’t read the whole thing yet)

And the boss dragged home a bucket of transducers? So jealous…

The conversation went something like:
Bossman: “ultrasonic humidifiers are really expensive, I’m going to buy some off alibaba”
“Do you realize these are JUST buckets of water and ultrasonic transducers???”
“Do you REALIZE how cheap ultrasonic transducers are from China???”
Me: “I think you need a power supply or something”
Bossman: “they run off 12v”
Me: “I think it’s slightly more involved that that”
Bossman: “I already ordered 400”
Edit: and now, for $300 worth of junk from China, I will become an expert on electrical engineering for ultrasonic cells lol. This. This is how it happens

I’ve heard folks throwing ultrasonics at all sorts of random shit, this however makes sense.
Good luck.
Please report back.

that’s the super secret ultrasonic transducer of course
Lol, nah it’s just an infrastructure detail that I can’t share.
Super excited to get her cranking. I’m worried that 1/2" tube between the receiving flask and keg won’t be able to keep up with the flow lol

I love field-fabbing this stuff. It’s so much more fun than actually running the equipment IMO
Can’t wait to throw away the rotovap portion at some point when we can’t generate nearly enough vapor to feed the condensers
