- brick housing (BH) parts (steel/AL/PMMA sheets) drawings approved by Spielman (drawings #2013.1.001.0002-0009)
12/11/13
- The list of possible manufacturing company for BH parts production is established:
- Partner Steel Co, Inc, Pocatello;
- Valley Sheet Metal (VSM) Technologies, Idaho Falls;
- Primear Technology, Blackfoot;
- Northwest wire EDM, Spokane, WA;
- Nelson Metal Technology, Payette, ID;
- Water Jet Cutting, Albuquerque;
- All above companies have been contacted for quotes. Criteria were price and speed of production.
- VSM Technologies: selected as manufactured company for BH parts (drawings #2013.1.001.0002-0009)
12/17/19
- BH parts arrived at IAC and inspected. Kevin is going to assemble and weld them all together.
12/18/19
- Cathode/anode drawings submitted to Spielman for approving (drawings #2013.1.001.0010-0017)
- PMMA_Output_Sheet/Charging_Isolating_Tube drawings submitted to Spielman for approving (drawings #2013.1.001.0018-0019)
- X-pinch driver assembly drawing with included cathode/anode submitted to Spielman for approving (drawing #2013.1.001.0020)
- PARKER's Viton O-rings V0769-60 2-246 (2 pcs), ID 4 1/2 and W 1/8", selected for vacuum seal inside the cathode/anode section.
12/19/13
- LESKER reduced 4-way cross (C-0800-275, $890) found as a candidate for vacuum chamber
- LESKER reduced 4-way cross drawing downloaded and incorporated into SolidWorks (assembly file Lesker_C-800_275\C-0800-275_reassembled)
- LESKER reduced 4-way cross redesigned to match our x-pinch driver (drawing file Lesker_C-800_275\LESKER_C-0800-275_REASSEMBLED)
12/20/13
- Some changes to parts have been done to accommodate LESKER redesigned cross:
- 1) for Al output plate, the inner cut increased from 4.5 diameter to 10" diameter to match the cross (drawing #2013.1.001.0010-0008);
- 2) for anode can, the slot size increased from 0.4" to 0.5" to march x-pinch wires length (drawing #2013.1.001.0014);
- Reassembled LESCER cross drawing submitted to Spielman for approving (drawing LESKER C-0800-275_REASSEMBLED)
- X-pinch driver assembly drawing with included cathode/anode/cross submitted to Spielman for approving (drawing #2013.1.001.0010-0021)
To Do List:
- o-ring in PMMA ~3 mm. Locate position and include in drawing. (Done)
- Include groove for two o-rings into the isolating output PMMA drawing #2013.1.001.0010-0018
- Can we use cross instead of cube? (A: Cross - no, but reduced cross - yes)
- Fabricate anode/cathode/vacuum_chamber
- Locate vacuum pump
- Diagnostics: Rogowskii and B-Dot, design and include in drawing
