I made a liquid metal ion thruster so you don't have to ☺️ (it was very difficult 😩)

Wait until people realize how many birds all those domestic cats kill each year. Poor birbs😢 https://t.co/bMb8kZTr0d

I am bad at asking questions. I meant on/in a photonic integrated circuit, not just a free space filter 🙂

Photonic chip friends: is there such a thing as a visible light dichroic filter (or something functionally equivalent)?

And like, all high vacuum pumps operate without a "containment" or seal. Diffusion pumps and turbomolecular pumps work by whacking gas molecules in a preferred direction and stochastically reduce the pressure. No seals involved, it's a free path back to the roughing pump

Another example, an air-bearing stage combined with vacuum chamber. Not only maintains atmosphere-to-vacuum, but uses pressurized air as an air bearing. https://t.co/X2MbXNX31Y

There are a number of different fields which require increased precision in vacuum environments

Probably a bot or troll account, but learning opportunity! Differentially pumped vac systems (like environmental SEM) maintain ultra high vac at the electron source while the sample is at atmosphere or slightly above. Uses tiny orifices to limit gas flow between zones
@AllThingsSpace3 @otherside_X42 Can you give me an example where a vacuum and pressure coexist without a barrier?

Many of the best accounts on this platform are blocked by @Rainmaker1973 because they complained about misrepresented or stolen content.
Stealing my footage, crediting the wrong account, all while keeping me blocked so that I can't even respond to it. This is wholly unacceptable, and for some reason my account is STILL not allowed to submit any DMCA takedown requests despite contacting @X @Support months ago.

meet me! will be in San Francisco & Bay area 19th - 24th october do you wanna chat - semiconductor startups - spill what you hate about inertial sensors so we can make ours a delight - how light will be the fabric of data - pew pew pew also look at our beautiful chips f2f

Next episode of Bird Bot! Watch as I try to build not one but two different types of electromagnetic actuators for this accursed thing 🫠

great thread, thought I'd add some of my favorite high quality content 1- Hyperspace Pirate, I've never been more interested in coolers than learning how all the different parts work together, also he's entertaining and has fun graphics
thread of youtube channels that are underrated. not necessarily small, but underrated 1. alphaphoenix. really deepened my understanding of electrodynamics. by far the biggest channel on this list with nearly 600k subscribers

Rumor has it that there will be a machinist panel at @OpenSauceLive. And a certain connoisseur of inoperable threading devices might be the panel moderator. 😇 So uhh, go buy tickets and heckle from the audience or something
