Lmfao that’s what I was just thinking.

Will post if I find any.

Because; it might blow up…

Wants to know which horn you’re blowing.

You can intrinsically safe any transducer, you need to encapsulate the contacts and any exposed conductive/current connected surface with putty/Epoxies.

Least theoretically.

I cannot sign off on the above statement, and am not liable for any accidents.

But that’s likely how it Is achieved.

Can I use C4?

No way Dude, he wants you to pot the electronics, you gotta use wiper tails…

I’ve long been into the idea of a sonicator pen for whipping badder. I’ve never tried it. I was thinking a pneumatic jewelers sonicator used to micro polish rings, etc. Clamp a lab tool into it.

In order:
Yes. Maybe. No. No. Yes. Context.

I hope my post didn’t come off as rude or presutmive. If it did I applogize. That wasn’t my goal. :peace_symbol:

I think this is an interesting thread. However, typically, threads have a more open discussion of methods/hypotheses or throwing of bones, not with such obscurity found here. As the old lady said:

I get it if you want to protect IP, but it never hurts to ask:

Indeed.

Lol I dropped a huge tip in mine that someone could work in a lab for a long time and never think to try that definely can set cured HTE apart. That is the spoon I’ve offered and it may even be a spoon never posted. I gave plenty of into.
If you have a dangerous amount of butane don’t do this, I’ll and that tip but everything else can be figured out in a few days with some R&D

Agreed, you did drop some breadcrumbs. Much appreciated :+1: :100:

I will edit my @ of you out of my post; I shouldn’t have included you in the first place.

I don’t think anyone is looking for a :spoon: in this thread, but maybe some :chopsticks:? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

What you wrote about HTE is why I suspect the use of an ultrasonic transducer + probe rather than an ultrasonic bath: viscosity.

The Hall effect sensor on a Beckmann I ought wrestle with some more…two wires and some putty…

just replying to this thread in general at this point but, obviously don’t use this tech if you have a dangerous amount of butane in your extract still. lol. I feel like that should be obvious. We aren’t the only industry using this tech for degassing.

quick google search found this.

any internet pirates wanna find me the full pdf?

Don’t you have a pile of ultrasonic horns gathering dust?

Or have you done built these already?!!

You betcha I’ve got a box somewhere. As I assumed though, a speaker is of no use without a record and I never got around to doing anything with them lol. I certainly haven’t ever built a spiral ultrasonic reactor thing but it looks awesome!

You looking to sell them?

Could one stack two 1-500Hz VFD to get high power 1-250kHz?

Take “60 cycle hum” to an entirely different level?!?

Or use a car amp (or twelve) to turn a wee screamer into a real power house

It’s also not clear to me that that ultrasonic frequency’s would be required for purging.

Maybe it’s “all about that base?”

ive been looking for my damn ultrasonic bath all day. sounds good for hte vs heat

Ultrasonic works pretty well. I Built a whole system on this technology. Need to take care of evaporation and solvent fog.
