Dont try this at home kids.  i got this idea in my head because im tired of monitoring pressure cookers and also im not really all there, as by now im sure youre all aware.

before the naysayers say nay, please remember who i am. fear doesnt exactly enter into my thinking and i hate the hissing.  the fussing over the temp knob, the waiting.  the boredom.  the wasted time yet you cant really enjoy a movie or anything because of the fucking hissing.  the commercials  will be almost as hilarious as the class action lawsuits. 

materials:

the ol razzle dazzle.  if this invention fails, Ill end up with another pc.  theres worse things to end up with.


ye old hot machine.  If this invention works, ill buy a nicer one but this piece of shit will suffice to prototype.


Now heres where things get dAnGeR-y.
a pressure switch.  contacts  rated for 1200watts @ 120v.
1/8 psi to 20 psi with ~1 psi deadband.

 


its not just any old pressure switch, my friends.  this is a dwyer instruments mercoid switch.  its rated for steam, water, even filthy water.  ive used them extensively in my line of work and let me tell ya, theyre quite accurate and bulletproof.  regular retail price is around 800.

so then i run my infernal contraption through one of these badboys.  (1875w rated).  yes im aware this image shows a two hr minimum.  theres other models.



So you get the idea.. no more monitoring my pc if it works.
if it fails its going to be fairly spectacular and well get to see what happens when the blow-out plug blows out.

yes, im aware theres autoclaves that do this very thing.  theyre very expensive.  yes, im aware its dangeous.  yes, im aware that ill need some flex conduit and some fittings to make it slick and safe.  yes, im going to test it outdoors with an extension cord from a distance.  no, i wont pull the plug if it starts approaching catastrophic pressures. what fun would that be.  fortune favors the dumb.

frankly, i dont see why it wont work but if you have anything youd like to say to me about this or anything else, now would be the time.  at the very least, its gonna look insane and steam-punky.
