![]() ![]() The tube furnace proved itself up to the task by creating a thin layer of silicon dioxide on a scrap of silicon wafer. In case you missed that, a tube furnace is basically a long, fused quartz tube wrapped in electrical heating elements and lots of insulation, which is designed to reach the very high temperatures needed when making integrated circuits. But when the task at hand is growing oxide layers on silicon chips in preparation for making your own integrated circuits, it turns out that the old Mark 1 eyeball is all you need.Īlert readers may recall that teased this process in his previous video, which covered the design and construction of a DIY tube furnace.

It bears noting that serious Nerf blasters like these demand eye protection. Adding a spacer to ensure the spring fully drove the piston forward for its full travel further boosted the dart velocity to a mighty 145 feet per second.

Upon pulling the trigger, the spring drives the piston forward, shooting the ammunition out the barrel. ![]() The blaster is a simple spring-plunger design. recognised the potential of the single-shot design, though, and repurposed it as a powerful Nerf blaster.
