ok ill
be honest...

The fucking switch arrived broken and I didn't really realize it until I picked it up and contaminated my entire apartment with mercury...

Had to throw away my chair.  I didn't have the heart to throw away my rug but I did put it in the back of one of my trucks that I don't use Where it will remain nine months or however long it takes for me to feel comfortable about it. 

Of course I got a refund. 

I'm still into this a little bit apprehensive to try and order another switch on eBay.  It was a fucking ordeal.

I remember when I extracted bho, there were prv, pressure control valve,  that would open if psi got above whatever(I think mine was at 125psi).
They don't make them that can fit on a PC?
Mercuric chloride is definitely something lots of people would want, just in case they ever grabbed safrole and wanted to do some tinkering..

I will use it to build helium 3 seal. Breaking light bulbs for mercury is costly.

bumping this.  that second one i ordered never came and i had to get a refund from ebay.  sooooo every time i run a cycle i think about doing it and how big of a pain in the ass it is to balance the temp on a stove. room heats up, temp goes up which invariably happens in a small apartment when you're boiling a giant pot of water.
Temp goes down, pressure goes down which invariably happens if you crack a window or whatever.  either way, its two hours of my time i have to sit and baby sit the fuckin thing so i ordered the god damn switch AGAIN. 

Someone in this thread recommended a good hot plate and now i'm struggling to find it but its in here somewheres..

thing is, i KNOW this design will work.  It will hold a precise pressure which is kindof double checked with the existing gauge. I always do 16 anyway because I'm at higher elevation so here we go guys.  Of course i'm gonna test in someones back yard first but yeah.

Just use a temp probe vs a pressure switch for a presto. I have 3 modded this way.  250f of 100% steam is 15psi.

Also make sure you don't get a shit burner. I always recommend cadco burners but they are expensive.  Some of the cheaper ones will cycle at the highest setting.



here it is.  Cadco.  Thanks again. 

I realized that what I need to do to mount the mercoid switch in a solid way, is to do a 1/4" bulk head with rubber bushings.  I'm not buying shiiiiiit until i actually have the (fucntional) differential switch in hand though.

Me, looking up from the bathtub of mercury that is my lifetime of poor choices and low-rent demo jobs:

"wait, what?"

:lol: 

If the plastic in my balls doesn't get me, the asbestos will.  Get in line mercury.

Just found some NIB cadco 14" burners on sale for half off at $185 in freedumb units.

If you're not averse to spending some cash, there's a bulletproof way of doing this. You can get an induction hotplate that measures the temperature of the pan on top of it, and modulates to maintain a constant temperature. It's called the breville control freak, big downside is that it's $1500. But as long as the presto works on it, should be 100% reliable once you figure out a good temp to set it to.

I don't think it needs to be expensive. I have the induction presto and a $60 induction hob. With that I can adjust temperature and/or watt. After reaching pressure I set it to 600w and the pressure stays the same. It has a timer up to 3 hours, set and forget.

Want to add that the power grid is 230 V where I live and settings may not apply to 110 V grid.

im not adverse to spending a little money but im extremely hard headed and once i have an idea its damn near impossible to dissuade me. 

well i figure if the switch costed me 50.  the bulkhead maybe another 8$.  the hotplate id like to pick up for less than $100 if i can.  thats right around the price point that works for me to have a bit of fun.  if it fails well.. im right back where i always was and i havent spent a ton of money.

if it does work, ill have something really cool. 

only half of it is making a thing that does a perfect job, the other half is the design and build.  im just so convinced i can make it work just so theres just no way i can be talked out of it at this point.

my presto is induction but i dont see how measuring the outside temp would really be all that reliable.  i suppose you calibrate it with the gauge.  sure i could see it working but nah.  im gonna do it this way.
