I’m using this thread to preserve ideas and protect them from patents, feel free to use this dumping ground to do the same
this is an incomplete render, the concept is a head for refining volatiles(terps, HTE)
the idea is that this head collects multiple fractions and utilizes independently heated/cooled sections and condensers to adjust flow rates, materials collected/rejected, etc. Bubble plates/vigreaux can be added/adjusted as needed
Fractional distillation tower. The petro world mastered this type of processing. They are harder to design when boiling points are so close to each other.
You should look into how reflux is done on top these systems
had an idea for an ironfist style packing system that wouldn’t require removing columns, this would use a sleeve to fit inside the material column and have a plate at the bottom to pack on to/use to extrude the spent biomass
had an idea about a pod based around existing 510 hardware, with a threaded adapter to fit standard stick batteries. Could work natively with the magnetic style batteries that are currently out - uni pro etc, or a new pod battery entirely
What a great and honorable thread idea. Bookmarking this.
I have some synthetic chem ideas I might share. But honestly if I file a patent on anything it’s to get the corporate fuckboys to pay me for my synthetic process, and I wouldn’t enforce it against the average Joe. As we all know, synthetic methods patents are basically “how-tos” for the underground, and I would be most honored if an underground chemist were using any patents I file to make their own medicines.
I’ve wanted a solid method for providing the end user with a decent “I’d like extract from that flower” in the dispensary (or at home) for almost as long as I’ve been in the business (and as a medical patient I was making my own before I got into “the biz”).
