fennThomasEgi: get a dead/malfunctioning oxygen concentrator from a hospital or care facility?13:40
fennlooks like this is used for distilling alcohol? http://www.milehidistilling.com/zeolite-3a-ethanol-dessicant-5-pounds/13:41
ParahSailinThomasEgi, i have gotten free samples from chinese mfers13:42
ParahSailingo on alibaba and send out inquiries13:42
fennis $14/kg overpriced?13:42
ThomasEgiton sells for 140013:43
ThomasEgiso yes.. 10 times over wholesale price^13:43
ParahSailinfree is even cheaper...13:43
ThomasEgimy best find was about 25bucks /kg13:43
fennwhat are you using it for anyway?13:43
ThomasEgicollecting water from air13:43
fennORLY13:43
ParahSailinseriously, molecular sieve is something that you get free samples of easily13:44
fenni was researching various types of air wells before moving to the desert13:44
AdrianG25 bucks a kilo is dirt cheap damn13:44
fenni figure a calcium chloride saturated waterfall would do a good job13:44
AdrianGwhere is a good place to be APIs13:44
AdrianGlike triiodotyronine13:44
fennAPI stands for what now?13:45
ParahSailinactive pharma ingr?13:45
ThomasEgiParahSailin, if you can manage to provide me a free sample of anywhere between 1 and 20kg i'll take it:D13:45

fenn"hello, i am a lowly researcher from a fast paced pharmaceutical company that will soon be needing millions of tons of [INSERT PRODUCT NAME HERE] for mass production, send me teh samplez quick"13:59
nmz787ParahSailin: what is molecular sieve? filter?13:59
ParahSailinzeolites13:59
fennnmz787: adsorption13:59
ParahSailinfenn, exactly13:59
fennsometimes selective based on size14:00
fennalso you can get them coated with various resins for enhanced selectivity14:00
nmz787so that company you just linked doesn't have [insert chem here]14:00
nmz787fenn are you still in NM?14:06
fennno, i went back to austin temporarily14:09
fennthings didn't work in nm14:09
nmz787fenn: have any ideas for how to blur a lithography master to reduce edge 'jaggies'14:20
nmz787I found a guy who will probably let me play with a FIB (focused ion beam)14:20
fennFIB is computer controlled, what do you mean "master"?14:20
fennit's like CNC14:20
nmz787so I think i'm gonna make lithography master's with that, then use them for making my micro channels14:20
fenner, is this a software issue or a process issue?14:21
nmz787yeah like CNC a quartz plate with gold on it, remove the gold, use that as a contact lithography mask14:21
nmz787well its still raster14:21
fenndon't do raster then14:21
nmz787so on nm scale there are still gonna be jagged edges14:21
nmz787i'm not sure if that's possible with the CNC control14:21
nmz787i.e. doing vector mode14:22
fennsigh. anyway, use something to dissolve the jaggies14:22
nmz787sigh?14:22
fennelectropolishing probably won't work because it's not a single conductor anymore (after you cut it into bits)14:22
fennsigh because sometimes it seems like all of our problems are because of bad software14:22
nmz787i was thinking either brief chemical etch, or blurring the lithography transfer somehow14:23
fennnot a lot dissolves gold, i can only think of aqua regia14:23
nmz787i know he had another metal sputter station14:27
nmz787can't remember what kind it was14:27
fennyou can sputter chrome14:28
fennor aluminum14:28
fennor anything really14:28
fennmasks are usually chrome14:28
nmz787i'm over in #homecmos with azonenberg, he's got some good tips14:31
fennif you want to make something for me with your FIB time14:40
fenni wanted to do a variable pitch diffraction grating, going from mm size (visible stripes) down to the resolution limit of the etching device14:40
fennthen use it as a master to cold press onto mylar film and make ribbons14:41
nmz787what would it look like?14:41
fenni don't know, that's part of why i wanted to do it14:41
nmz787the guy wrote the entire bible in ~1 sq inch (shaped like a cross actually) in an afternoon14:41
nmz787and makes replicas on a hot plate with polystyrene14:41
nmz787i was thinking of making a fresnel lens to accompany the microbible14:42
fennyeah i saw that, how long do you think it will last?14:42
nmz787as you can't really read it without like 500X mag14:42
fenn1000 years?14:42
nmz787dunno14:42
nmz787heh14:42
fenna billion years?14:42
nmz787but apparently that service hasn't really taken off14:42
fennnobody thinks long term14:42
nmz787so he said if i had any ideas, i could have a percent of the sales14:42
nmz787so i think your ribbon idea might be a decent gimmicky idea14:43
nmz787sell to ravers if it looked cool??14:43
nmz787well he said the input was a binary bitmap14:43
nmz787so i dunno if you could easily output that from inkscape14:44
nmz787would you think the line spacing as well as thickness should change at the same time?14:44
nmz787or keep the spacing constant while decreasing line width?14:45
nmz787following a chirp function?14:45
nmz787maybe that could be the first thing I play around with FIBing14:46
* nmz787 got the cantenna trained on an open FIOS connection!14:46
fennthe image resolution is going to be huge14:47
fennnumber of pixels i mean14:47
fennanyway i'd write a script to do it14:48
fennthe wavelength changes, the duty cycle remains 50%14:48
fennso yes, a chirp function14:48
-!- lichen_ is now known as lichen14:50
nmz787well you should play with that idea if you have some time14:52
nmz787I am gonna meet with this guy to discuss fluidics work this week, so I can mention I have an idea for getting to learn the FIB14:53
ParahSailinfib is super expensive right?14:53
nmz787this guy said he charges $375 / hr14:56
nmz787but that I could play with it for free/cheap for a while14:56
nmz787if I could actually come up with something that made some income, it would be even better14:57
nmz787so some optical trinket could be just the right thing14:57
nmz787make a master, replicate with a hot plate melting on some plastic and peeling off when hard14:57
