Basics
- Part of the Open Source Laboratory Construction Set
- A Device with a Semispherical Cavity in the Top
- Open Source Round Bottomed Flasks can be placed in this cavity
- When the temperature setting is changed, or temperature drops below a certain threshold, the coil of wire around the cavity is turned on and the flask is heated
- It is cleaner than a Open Source Heated Labratory Bath, yet more efficient+consistent than the Open Source Hotplate making it preferable for many use cases
Used For
Industry Standards
Existing Open Source Designs
Minimum Viable Product
- Safe (IE no exposed mains power, or exposed heating elements)
- Have the first on built to a 1L Capacity Round Bottom Flask, but have the desigm be scalable
- AC or DC Power Inputs
- Fast
- Efficient (As Possible of Course)
Basic Design
Power Supply
- Takes in the AC or DC power and converts it down to what the circuit works off of
Control Panel
- Arduino/Rasberry Pi can monitor the temperature and adjust accordingly
- Add dials and a cheap LCD for interface
Heating Componets
- Nichrome wire around some sort of insulator
- Custom Ceramic, or a Fiber Ceramic, maybe both?
Shell
- 3D Printed Box all the above componets fit in
