Well, I photoshop-assembled the previous vessle, and am keen on the idea (just for fun) of everything being ready-to-go straight OTC. Cutting any bulbs or this' or thats necessitates good seals, which are potential weaknesses for many the newbee.. Would it really matter if a bottle and dropper were found where the dropper is itsy-bitsy relative to the bottle length (thus top of rxn fluid)? And I figured the dropper bulb would be sufficient containment for a nano LWR, because they're not usually very tight fitting and any unlikely excessive pressure can just blow itself off (fuck it, you know? especially since you have a bubbler there catching HI all the while). Anyhoo..
Here's one: Take a long glass straw (or best yet, one of those twirlie ones), flame heat a spot, pull apart and break to form a tip (or not, whatever), and there you have a condenser so relatively large that balloons etc won't be needed.
...
I've been thinking about a "Pico-Scale Holy Grail" type-setup for a while now.. some sort of ultra-small multi-chambered, but solidly 'single' unit where you can just:
1) Throw in the reactants, turn on something harmless (or ie, throw a whole bouyee-type vessel into the jacuzzi), and forget about it.. .. Yes, "Set it and forget it." ..
2) And where you can do most, if not all, of the post rxn work-up right there among the same vessels. Filtering, basing, distilling, washing, etc etc..
This present idea, weaz, may go a long way to help achieve this goal. Now the dropper (which already with packing=filter) can also be the condenser.
