for a school project, i need to boil cold water using a vacuum pump. I did some research, but i still didn't find what i needed. I need to know what kind of pump i need for this, and where i can get one for cheap, since i will only use it for this project. if you know how to actually use it, you can throw that in as well. thanks!
If you have a compressor you can connect to the inlet which draws a vacuum, remember to open the outlet side. You can use a hand pump by connecting to inlet side.
You can get a cheap hand powered pump at the auto store. They use them to vacuum airconditioner systems and check for leaks in vacuum operated controls.
I'm not telling you it all but you can take an A.C vacuum pump and it will lower the boiling point of the water where it will boil at only 65 to 75 degrees Ferlinghetti
