Shelley, in fact, experimented with galvanism himself; as a student at Oxford University, he crammed his rooms with electrical machines, air pumps, glass containers, the very stuff of an archetypal mad scientist.
If you pump a glass of water from the borehole outside the little church in Shimulala, you will see it is bright yellow, smells of sulphur and tastes vile.
The water samples were filtered through a vacuum pump through glass fiber filters Whatman GF/C of 47 mm diameter and 1.4 μ pore opening.
Once located, under a illuminated lantern and a fug of cigarette smoke wafting from the smokers congregated outside, it was superb; a nostalgic ye olde pub of polished brass pumps, stained glass and a cacophony of post-work chatter.
The chapter first discusses the design of flashlamp pumped Er:glass lasers.
Milk samples were self-collected manually into breast pumps with glass containers at the individual hospitals and transferred to 50-mL polypropylene conical tubes (milk tube) that had been thoroughly rinsed with methanol and acetone before use; samples were kept frozen at –20°C.
To create a safer alternative to toxic mercury diffusion pumps, Mr. Lafler concocted a glass oil pump.
Unfiltered samples from 8 selected 'boreholes' (representing the entire study area) were pumped into the glass bottles using a peristaltic pump.
Major modifications of the existing elutriation devices include using a variable speed pump, changing the glass column to plastic, and adding screens at the flow inlet for more uniform velocity distribution while making the column shorter.
During infusion, pressure was transmitted from the pump to a glass, gastight, infusate-filled Hamilton syringe (250 microliter total volume) that was connected to PE50 thick walled polyethylene tubing (outer diameter 0.050 in, inner diameter 0.023 in) (Plastics One, Roanoke, VA).
