My torch is an ejection type, for high temperature soldering. Works from a cylinder with liquefied gas. It is economical: the amount of gas supplied to the ejector can be adjusted.

The burner is arranged as follows. From the reducer or valve valve on the cylinder, gas is supplied through a hose to a supply pipe built into the base of the burner. From there, it enters through the vertical channel of the rack into the central hole of the jet housing, where its amount is dosed by an adjusting needle mounted on a thread in the housing cover. Next, the gas enters the jet and is ejected at high speed through its hole. Sucking in the air necessary for combustion from the cavity of the air spool, the gas is supplied through the axial channel of the radiator to the divider, where it is divided into the main, central flow, and the auxiliary one, supplying the peripheral openings of the divider "necessary to maintain the flame. With the help of a rotary sleeve of the spool with radial the openings can be used to control the volume of incoming air, and with the help of an adjusting needle - the amount of gas.This allows you to form a burner flame both in size and quality.

Rice. 1 (click to enlarge). Gas burner: 1 - adjusting needle, 2 - needle handle, 3 - jet body cover, 4 - jet body, 5 - stuffing box (PTFE seal), 6 - burner base, 7 - clamping nut, 8 - ejector, 9 - jet, 10 - spool sleeve, 11 - spool holder, 12 - radiator, 13 - divider, 14 - handle, 15 - inlet tube.

All parts of the burner, except for the handle, are machined on a lathe. An excellent material for making most of them is brass or bronze. They have good thermal conductivity, are strong enough and are not afraid of corrosion. But the jet body, its cover and the jet itself are best made of steel. The easiest way to make an adjusting needle is from a steel knitting needle. And the gland for sealing the thread will have to be machined from fluoroplastic: although the radiator takes some of the heat, the body parts get quite hot.

It is not difficult to manufacture according to the given drawings and assemble the burner. Only with the jet will have to tinker. To get an exit hole with a diameter of about 0,1 mm, I first drill a through hole with a diameter of 0,4 mm, and then gently caulk it with a small ball to the desired size. This work requires patience and skill, so the jet may not work on the first try. But it doesn’t matter: it’s easier to carve a new blank than to try to fix a bad one.

The assembly sequence is as follows. The jet is wrapped in the housing after lubricating the mating surfaces with epoxy. On the other side of the housing, a fluoroplastic seal is inserted and tightened with a threaded cap with an adjusting needle. The jet body is placed in the base of the burner and secured with a clamp nut. Then the ejector is screwed onto the body, the spool part and the radiator with a divider are put on. You can light the burner.

The flame of a properly manufactured and adjusted burner will have a blue color and the shape of a straight narrow flame up to 200 mm long.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Sound can travel even in a vacuum 14.08.2023

Finnish physicists have discovered that, under certain conditions, sound is able to travel through a perfect vacuum, contrary to the traditional understanding that sound requires a medium to propagate.

Sound propagation usually requires a material medium through which vibrations can be transmitted. On Earth, it could be air or water. Sound arises from vibrations that set atoms and molecules in motion within a medium. These vibrations are transmitted from one particle to another and are interpreted by the human ear as sound.

An ideal vacuum implies the absence of any material environment. In theory, under such conditions, sound should not propagate. However, scientists from Finland have discovered that the so-called "vacuum" can still contain electric fields that can cause vibrations in piezoelectric crystals. This may be a key factor in the study of sound transmission in empty space.

Piezoelectric materials are capable of converting mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. Applying mechanical pressure to a crystal creates an electric field, and applying an electric field to a crystal causes it to deform.

Research has shown that sonic vibrations can cause mechanical stress in piezoelectric crystals. Using zinc oxide as a piezoelectric crystal, physicists have found that this crystal is capable of converting mechanical stress into an electric field under certain conditions.

By placing two such crystals next to each other, one of them can convert electrical energy back into mechanical energy, allowing sound waves to travel through a vacuum. This effect is most effective at certain frequencies and distances between crystals, allowing ultrasonic waves to "tunnel" through a vacuum.

This discovery could have important implications for quantum computer science and other areas of physics. It is important to note that although in most cases the transmission of sound waves through a vacuum is weak, there are situations where this occurs with high efficiency and without reflections.
