cheap vacuum bagging
There is a website describing how to use a discarded 'fridge compressor
for vacuum bagging. The fellow who tried it used a vaccum gauge from an automobile in his configuration and claims he got 25 psi vacuum for his project. He just used standard plumbing fittings to connect the vacuum bag. I do not have the website address. I was browsing on a computer at the public library at the time and did not write it down. However you can find it by going to www.boat-links.com, clicking on "The Mother of All Boat Links", clicking on the first box "amateur boatbuildign and repair" and scrolling down untill you find the link about vacuum bagging. Nowadays all discarded 'fridges go to a recyling depot where they "vacuum bag" the freon gas to protect the ozone layer of the atmosphere. It should be easy to get a compressor by telephoning the miniciapl garbage department. Since compressors do wear out it would be a good idea to look for ones off later model 'fridges (the date of manufacure should be on a label on the 'fridge) bring home 2 or 3 to try. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-freenet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
