Hi!
I am currently trying to find out what kind of material and size of jar would be optimal for safety and cost keeping in mind i only aim to do demo's with my Fusor. I would prefer a open ended cylinder so that i could attach metal plates to either end and am currently considering obtaining one with a diameter or 7/8 inches and a height of 5/6 inches. I would like to know if those dimensions are appropriate and which material would be both the strongest and most cost effective.
In regards to the pump i was wondering whether anyone knows if the following pump would be any good?:
