00:08 <nmz787> 21:45 < fenn> i was thinking a cheap way to make vacuum seals would be nichrome wire embedded in solder, and you just have a little timer circuit that melts the solder when you want to open the

00:08 <nmz787> chamber

20:13 <pie___> ...how exactly would this be different than existing methods?

20:13 <pie___> i mean i wouldnt really know

20:14 <Noxz> I got my acceptance letter to the watchmaking program :)

20:14 <pie___> but there is such a thing already where for high vacuum stuff they use metal ring seals that get compressed

20:14 <pie___> Noxz, great \o/

20:14 <pie___> btw is this some university thing or what?

20:15 <Noxz> it's a 2 year program at North Seattle College

20:16 <Noxz> I had to "apply" to the main college first

20:16 <Noxz> then contact them for steps on the process of acceptance for the program

20:17 <Noxz> them = program director

20:17 <pie___> aha
