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

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 https://t.co/QihOG71zqI

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.

Also, some of the money goes to the Creators you're watching. 15-20% of my YT revenue is from Premium I personally subscribe to Premium as well. Supports Creators, gives a great experience. A++ would buy again

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

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
