obviously you wouldn't have any water running into that auto clave... (hot moisture being the whole point of them? is that correct or is there a step before the drying?
@pimbilibom yeah, and an autoclave has moisture in it... im just saying, if i were to repeat this experiment, should i make sure there is no water supply to the autoclave
@HaydenHatTrick You must be absolutely sure that you have no moisture at all in the gel, autoclave and solvent you add. You have to prepare the gel properly. The trick is exchanging solvent gradually in the gel to prevent it cracking from osmotic shock. This is very tedious work and takes many days to weeks to accomplish. Once you have soaked gel in pure solvent many times, you are ready to dry it.
@HaydenHatTrick The gel is easiest part! you can practice with sodium silicate (waterglass) and vinegar: dilute both 50/50% and mix silicate to vinegar by stirring constantly. if there appear white lumps then your stirring was poor and silicate added too fast. Filtering through rough filter helps to get rid of the white. You must do it fast though because it may gel before it gets through filter. After you have practiced enough with water solution you can jump to TEOS process.
@pimbilibom nice, thanks... will a magnetic stirring rod stir it properly, or should it be more agitated? Also, the stirring rod wouldn't do anything to the fluid? (some people learn the hard way about making ferofluid with a stirring rod :P)
@HaydenHatTrick hehe then you have very pro equipment! i learned to stir with one hand and poor with other same time. i think i should post another video of the trick... waterglass gives rather hazy gel. if you are so pro chemist you should maybe skip the waterglass and go stright to metal alkoxide process. There is tons of info available about it but you may start from here: solgel.com/educational/educframe.htm
i am glad to see someone picking up my experiment..
@thetaylorbell lmao gad ur stupid you write everything like it is one sentence without any punctuation no one has any idea what you are saying stupid faggot learn to write instead of playing with a knife you dumb blonde bitch
@CloseOne lol funny :p (it's only the 480's that get hot, not all fermi, I'm running a fermi (460 1GB) right now and the temps are quite cool (39'C atm with a slight overclock stock cooling)
that aside, it's a really sweet rig he has outside.
@AgentCROCODILE It's a machine that induces extremely high heat (through water, i think) and usually high pressure too, to either sterilise, or in this case, supercritically dry the sol-gel.

@trespire the subtitle says the audio language is Estonian, true - Finno-ugri language group.
Estonia is closely related to Finland, located just south of Finland.

guys, do you sell any Aerogel? It's hard as shit to get a hold off!

For explosion danger: acetone under 50 bar pressure and 250°C temperature is pretty dangerous combination. Airglass factory exploded in 1984.

600W...very high temperatures...
This is Fermi?
