I recieved the awesome donation of a Varian Mass Spectrometer. Click on the link to see pictures lots of vacuum goodies, which is not my specialty! I am converting it for use as an Accelerator/Fusor/Neutron Generator ;-)!
Projects
The following is more of a blog type section on different projects in my lab, I will see as time goes by if I'll update this often or not, but it will have a few ideas for different things here anyway

I spent yesterday disassembling the Mass Spectrometer so I can move the useable pieces to my new lab in Reno, NV. In the process I also assembled it in preperation to turn it into a fusor. See the link above to see what the Spectrometer originally looked liked.
My lab has never been this wreaked out! With the Temporary move to Nevada from Arkansas and some projects its a mess!
The fully disassembled spectrometer. Magnet, target, sample inlet and associated equipment, and second diffusion pump has been removed. The middle conflat port is for the vacuum gauge seen below on the platform
Even though there would be a larger chamber for the grids and etc. I decided against putting it directly above the diffusion pump inlet.
I removed a piece from the beamline seen in the picture below after the magnet. You can see in the original pictures I took when I got it where it was. I can increase the length and volume of the chamber by using other pieces, but I think it is ok for now. It will be a slightly small chamber, but I think it will work.
