should have labelled the flow meters "ARGON" and "AREN'TGON"

[MORTYCJA]

everytime you do this i feel like i'm watching some sci-fi alternative universe video, it's so hard to believe you do this stuff on the same timeline i live in. it's so fun, love this stuff

[AppliedScience]

Great to see it all come together and working smoothly! Really nice work. And thanks so much for the shout-out.

[sebotto]

This is a perfect example why i prefer creators who produce less content but in a high quality. I don't need trash every day when i can get videos like this instead.

casually referencing a future product being a nuclear fusion reactor is exactly what i love about this channel, science fiction made or at least attempted to make real

[RoobeeBlue]

When you said "nuclear fusion reactor" I literally said oh my god out loud. I can't explain the crazy mix of incredulity and excitement and fascination your videos give me. It's like the feeling that actually, anything is possible. It's how science made me feel when I was a kid.

"Full bridge rectifier." No ElectroBoom voice over?! Such an easy crossover you missed there. For shame.

[Corbald]

Machining tip: When clamping a small part into your vise, clamp another, similar sized part at the other side of the vise. This maximizes clamping force and prevents wracking of the clamp jaws, which leads to weak clamping.

This is legit the coolest stuff I’ve ever seen. Im making a cloud chamber now and I wouldn’t have done it, nor would I ever had felt that it was possible for me, without this channel. I got so excited when I saw a new video and i’m even more excited now that I’ve watched it for the ones to come. thanks for being such an inspiration, I can’t say I would be where i am in my engineering debut without your videos!!

"The key to science is to hold a good grudge" explosions and fire subscribers pointing at the screen like DiCaprio right now

[shirothehero]

I've wanted to build one of "these" for years. Years and no clue where to start. I then turned to the idea of "hmm, how much would a pvd/cvd coating system cost." Yeah, not cheap, even 4th hand versions from potentially non scrupulous characters.
This is amazing.

Learning the science behind something people seem to never know how it works may be my favourite thing

[flurgerbla]

ngl, hearing fusion reactor being mentioned so casually made me chuckle

[hassanshaikh]

the mans saw that $20k+ price tag and went "fine, i will do it my self"

[derkeksinator]

I remember the first time using a sputter coater we got a leaf from outside and coated it with gold to make a literal gold leaf! Sure that one was a little dumb, but there's sooo much cool stuff you can do with this!

[aner_bda]

"ARGON" and "NOT ARGON" have to be the coolest labels I've seen on a device.

[waterunderthebridge]

I remember there being some kinda bioinformatic software literally named Magic and the paper just being like “xyz was analysed with second generation Magic”. Really wonder if the author kept a straight face writing those kinds of passages xD

[JamesBakerOhio]

You make things so accessible and comprehensible, you are like one of my profs from college. You can reduce the whole to comprehensible bites and *BANG* the pieces fall together so that even a topic like vacuum deposition is not as mountainous as it was before. Thanks 😊

[personwritingthings]

Welcome back! It's really nice to see you back, can't wait to see what this new lab brings!

15:12 What do You think about adding valve between diffusion pump and chamber? You could close the valve and repressurize the chamber while keeping pump under vacuum. Do Your stuff, close the chamber, use 1st stage pump and then switch to 2nd stage by opening the mentioned valve.
