I would like to have one of these...

This is called Scientific Glass Blowing , one of the purest art form

In college I knew a premed chem major who had a bong that looked a lot like that.

:)That is the silver addition gadget from Mark Osterman's GEH darkroom. There are a lot of much simpler ways to add silver to an emulsion, but I absolutely love the look of the thing! Off and on I wonder if it couldn't be used as a hook to tie emulsion making into the Steam Punk culture. Mark's emulsion recipe comes from just about the era the culture parodies. Unfortunately, my marketeering creativity totally breaks down when I start to imagine all the Steam Punk things that you could fit your darkroom with! On top of Mad Scientist culture, maybe?? The mind boggles.

Yes, it is Mark Ostermans' Steam Punk gadget. :) Through this thread I got the technical term for what it is, and then I remembered you had some description of the stopcock buret. So I am going to get one of these. Or two.

Good call on the Steam Punk angle - maybe that is the way? :)

BTW, darkroom is getting closer now. Some things are starting to fall into place.

Excellent news about the darkroom! I hope it comes together by winter. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Summer without a darkroom is just fine, but a darkroom is the blessing of winter.

It needs a lot of brass fittings or tubing to fit into the Victorian Era. But that would interfere with the emulsion making to have brass.

It looks ot me to be out of any chemistry lab from about 1850 to the current day...
