Every fusor and fusion system seems to need a vacuum. This area is for detailed discussion of vacuum systems, materials, gauging, etc. related to fusor or fusion research.

Thank you, Richard. Bookmarked.
But in the meantime, if anyone needs 705 equivalent the prices at the site above are better. We'll see how it holds up.
(edit) ordered the oil yesterday morning, it was delivered today. Will test this week-end.
There _is_ madness to my method.

I've heard of somebody making DIY diffpump oil (was ambiguous whether silicone or hydrocarbon), but I really cannot imagine that being a good idea except for learning about where apeizon and the like come from.
