Diagram of a vacuum flask Gustav Robert Paalen, Double Walled Vessel. Patent 27 June 1908, published 13 July 1909. The vacuum flask was designed and invented by Scottish scientist James Dewar in 1892 as a result of his research in the field of cryogenics and is sometimes called a Dewar flask in his honour.
Diagram of the vacuum filtration apparatus. By flowing through the aspirator, water will suck out the air contained in the vacuum flask and the Büchner flask.There is therefore a difference in pressure between the exterior and the interior of the flasks : the contents of the Büchner funnel are sucked towards the vacuum flask.
A cryogenic storage dewar (or simply dewar) is a specialised type of vacuum flask used for storing cryogens (such as liquid nitrogen or liquid helium), whose boiling points are much lower than room temperature. It is named after inventor James Dewar, who developed it for his own work. They are commonly used in low-temperature physics and chemistry.
Büchner flask A Büchner funnel is attached to the flask via a black elastomer adapter. The hose barb is connected via vacuum hose to a vacuum source such as an aspirator. The flask should be clamped before use or the hose will likely cause it to tip. Cross section of a Büchner Flask. Note the hose barb pointing right for attaching a vacuum ...

On September 2, 1913, William Stanley Jr. patented the all-steel vacuum flask. [1] The idea came about as a result of his work with transformers, during which he discovered that a welding process he was using could be used to insulate a vacuum bottle with steel instead of glass. [2]
