Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Spacesuit Negative Pressure Chamber!

  • While admiring the aesthetic fidelity of his new spacesuit glove replicas, Adam comes up with the idea to test its pressure seal by building a negative pressure chamber! Made from a thick-walled acrylic cylinder and custom-built glove mount, this glove box lets Adam simulate the experience of operating a spacesuit glove in a zero-pressure environment. It also makes for a striking display case!

    Hey Adam. I'm one of the few people lucky enough to work with the EMU gloves and suit on a daily basis. I also work with the glove box you're trying to recreate. We use it when sizing gloves for new astronauts. If you have any questions about the inner workings of the gloves or the suit, I can help shed some light on anything you may not be able to find online. For example, we depress the glove box to a delta of 4.3 PSIG!

    @agate_jcg Рік тому +52

    This is fantastic! Some suggestions: there are multiple air leak paths with your gasket design: between the neoprene glove and the acrylic, through the screw holes in the neoprene glove, and through the screw holes in the acrylic. You could minimize most of these by mounting the neoprene glove to the *outside* of the chamber, so your layers from outside to inside are: delrin washer, neoprene glove, rubber gasket, acrylic endcap, rubber gasket, fabric glove, delrin washer. You could do even better by using two different sets of blind tapped holes, one to hold the fabric glove, one for the neoprene, so there's zero path for air to pass through the acrylic. But blind tapping 24 holes in acrylic would be no fun.
    But of course you can't do any of this because the bottom cap is now permanently glued to the tube. If you wanted to take another crack at this, it might be worth cutting off the end cap, gluing an acrylic flange around the outside of the tube and attaching the end-cap with removable bolts and a gasket. Adds another possible leak path, but makes debugging so much easier.

      @sjdpfisvrj Рік тому +5

      IMO, the real flaw in the design was that he gave himself very little ways of debugging the leaks. For example, I don't think he really needed to glue both ends, I think an O ring on the top end would have sufficed since the pressure would have held it in place.

      I’m pretty sure I recognize the brand of glove he used. It’s some off-brand cheap “heavy duty” natural rubber glove. Something you might find in a dollar store hardware section. Wouldn’t be surprised if it had small manufacturing defects. Adam should have used the nitrile glove, or a butyl both of which have lower air permeability.

    This was great! If I may suggest 2 things: I think this way the vacuum is working against you around the rubber seal. I would mount the whole glove assembly from the outside so the vacuum can pull the rings and seal together. Next to this if you would make a non permanent joint for the bottom plate (with the glove mounted) than there would be a much easier access for testing the different glove adjustments (kind of like a coffee storage can). Thanks for the great content, enjoyed every minute. May the vacuum be with you!!!🙂

    I know it doesn’t need to hold much pressure, and it would have been more machining work, but would chamfering the top and bottom into the tube have made an even better seal? As you created a vacuum inside the tube, it would have sucked the ends inward, further and further tightening the seal.

    The next time you need to cut large tubing and it needs to be precise your lathe is a better option than the table saw. Use rubber soft jaws to keep from marring the inside of the tubing and a parting tool to cut it to length. It is a much safer & more easily accurate way to do that task.

    An alternative to the washing up gloves you are using might be electricians gloves, they come in different thicknesses ( aka voltage ratings ) and are a long glove. We use them with a thin cotton inner glove to wick away the sweat and a goat skin outer glove for mechanical protection. A bit of talcum powder after use also to stop the gloves sticking themselves together.

    One other way I'd recommend to plug up potential leaks is to use clear RTV along the outside of the joined edges where you glued together the acrylic pieces. I'd also use the RTV around the valve and gauge as well.

  • @RobotRogue
    @RobotRogue Рік тому +3

    The inner glove approach was nice! As an alternative you could have made the inner ring (for the black nitrile glove to slip over) a smaller diameter ( & no need for bolt holes on that piece) so it literally sits within the circle of bolts, and then use the outer ring to clamp it in between, so you wouldn't have to put the bolts thru the nitrile glove (god I wish I could post a sketch). Doesn't matter though because your method totally worked out! More than one way to skin a Tauntaun amirite?

    If you can adjust the vacuum coming in to be steady, you can take some non-acetic acid silicone rubber and start covering the joints. When you cover the leak the vacuum will increase. Silicone rubber is easy to remove, but if you use clear, leave it. If you do the soapy water to find the leak it'll be tough to dry & clean prior to sealing. Of course the leak could be the rubber glove...

    I think one thing you can do to improve the seal is tighten the bolts on your ring-box flange in a star pattern. At least in pipefitting, you're supposed to do it that way, because if you don't the flange distorts and won't seal.

      @@brandonyoung-kemkes1128 The real reason EVA spacesuits are so expensive has as much to do with engineering costs as production costs. I work for ILC Dover (we engineered and manufactured every EVA spacesuit for NASA for the past 55 years). We have a team of 20-30 engineers who wake up every day thinking about how to make a spacesuit better. Our long-term partner- Collins Aerospace - have an even larger team of engineers working on the life support system of the spacesuit (PLSS). These engineers are highly educated and experienced (and therefore well paid). Since there are very few spacesuits manufactured, those engineering costs are amortized over very few units (unlike cell phones, with millions-per-month production quantities, where the amortized engineering costs are a few dollars per unit).

      @@valandres I am the head of marketing for ILC Dover's Space Systems Division (so the "They" you refer to would be me). Several things about real EVA spacesuits you should know:
      1. They are part of United State ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) - the US government severely restricts who we can sell to.
      2. Real EVA spacesuits cost around $15 million each
      3. EVA spacesuits are dangerous (remember, they are air tight). We have a team of 3-4 engineers that monitor the life support system during a spacesuit test.
      4. EVA spacesuits are very heavy (here on earth - in orbit they are weightless). A fully configured suit, ready to go through the airlock on the ISS for a 7 hour spacewalk, weights over 300 lbs. on earth!
      For all these reasons, it's completely impractical for us to sell suits to the general public. That's why we love people like Adam - he makes museum quality replicas, that although pricey, don't have the same restrictions and caveats at the real suits.
