Testing ways to mount heater wire that will hopefully not result in tripping the fuses.

Yesterday was the opening of the first ever Research Days organized at KASK&Conservatorium in Ghent, loosely structured around the topic of play. The image is bad picture of Luanda Casella's great presentation during the first panel.

In a week, I will give a lecture-performance under the title "The Salt Transistor", sharing some of my research for the installation #79 that I hope to produce in the coming year as a response to a commission by Werktank in Leuven.

Lo and finally behold: this somehow cute-looking but still untested see-through oven !

Whole new dimensions of fiddlyness; finally managed to pass those weird and stiff high-temperature and high-voltage resistant wires through several layers of that soft and brittle ceramic fiber board without causing too much damage.

Finished also the software for the much needed oven controller and it all seems to work as expected. Next step will be to finish building that oven...

Finally got around to finishing the hardware of this much needed oven controller. Tomorrow I hope to finish the software and if the fuses arrive I can even test...

Being into real artificial crystals now - not virtual - I really should reread it.

So far in this research project I have not produced any images or texts of note, but I did build a number of niche power supplies and thermostats. (This one is getting there).

Somehow I didn't expect a 1907 book by Otto Lehmann on liquid crystals to have plenty of small and beautiful colour images.

DIY-ing this was perhaps not a great idea from the start, but once I was sure, I might as well finish it.

Things always take more time, but at least the measuring and displaying of temperatures up to 1200 C seems to now work in principle.

Due to previous life choices I find myself building this cute see-through oven prototype. A whole new level of fiddly: unfamiliar and funny materials and none of my familiar construction methods allowed due to risk of meltdown.

Today I learned some things about thermocouples and how to measure high temperatures. Hard to test anything at this stage though.

Like in many languages, the Dutch word for potassium is 'kali', from the Arab القالِي, al-qaly, for calcinated ashes. This is strange, because the English word 'potassium' comes from the Dutch 'potas': ash in a pot.

I got this book because of one (long) chapter, but ended up reading it from cover to cover.

Figuring out how to build things that resist high temperatures: no glue, no solder, no plastic, no tape; only ceramics, glass, copper and steel.

Not yet tested and calibrated, but almost fully assembled: a power supply that is variable between 100V and 1100V. One of the ingredients of the 1930s experiment that I am trying to re-enact.

Part of the proceedings today was finishing the housing of the 1KV power supply, which took ages. Next is assembling the internals.

Fortunately I was able to repair this fairly scary 1KV power supply.
