Re: Thermodynamics B/C Build
As your lawyer, I would advise against it. Per Chapter 3 subsection a it states "Devices may be constructed of and contain anything except the following materials/components: asbestos; mineral wool; fiberglass insulation; commercially available thermoses/coolers/vacuum sealed devices." Yet also as your lawyer I suggest you can make a case that it is not a vacuum sealed device (Such as a yeti) but it is a vacuum sealed insulator. To be safe I would submit an FAQ to soinc and ask what qualifies as a vacuum sealed device.wxyz wrote:Would this be allowed as a building material?

May just be where they each came from. Manufacturers seem to vary in the amount of extra room left in glassware.wxyz wrote:Thanks for the answer.
Has anyone else noticed that plastic beakers are much bigger than glass ones, even though they are marked for 250 mL?

The bags or the absorbers? Why would that be advantageous?libscioly wrote:Does anyone know if it would be advantageous to use oxygen absorbers that come with mylar bags, and if this would even be allowed? Thanks!

Vaccuum seals
Are gallon sized ziplock baggies included in the "commerial" vacuums, or are they allowed?

Re: Vaccuum seals
Last I checked, Ziplock baggies aren't very good insulators nor are they vacuum coolers, so it should be fine for you.JoshChaboyaB wrote:Are gallon sized ziplock baggies included in the "commerial" vacuums, or are they allowed?

Re: Thermodynamics B/C Build
I'd just like to point out that it doesn't just involve hot and cold but also the nature of energy, gas theory, etc.Maria.S wrote:Thermo is a great event for all who like studding heat and cold.
But thermodynamics is pretty cool.
