Hi Radical Edward,
I am a scientific glassblower at Princeton University where I make glass instruments for the research groups. I also specialize in working exotic glasses such as aluminosilicate that are widely used in polarized 3He target cells. I included a sample of a recent job I completed for the Combustion Lab. It's a a gas mixing chamber made of fused quartz. Gases are mixed and ignited inside a furnace that is heated to over 800c.
I look forward to being part of the forum.
