Alembic. An alembic (from Arabic: الإنبيق, romanized : al-inbīq, originating from Ancient Greek: ἄμβιξ, romanized : ambix, 'cup, beaker') [ 1][ 2][ 3] is an alchemical still consisting of two vessels connected by a tube, used for distillation of liquids.
Carboy. A 25 L ( 61⁄2 US gal) glass carboy acting as a fermentation vessel for beer. It is fitted with a fermentation lock. A carboy, also known as a demijohn or a lady jeanne, is a rigid container with a typical capacity of 4 to 60 litres (1 to 16 US gal). [ 1][ 2] Carboys are primarily used for transporting liquids, often drinking water or ...
The history of glass-making dates back to at least 3,600 years ago in Mesopotamia. However, most writers claim that they may have been producing copies of glass objects from Egypt. [ 1] Other archaeological evidence suggests that the first true glass was made in coastal north Syria, Mesopotamia or Egypt. [ 2]
The two hoses connected to the condenser circulate water through the space between the inner and outer walls. In chemistry, a condenser is laboratory apparatus used to condense vapors – that is, turn them into liquids – by cooling them down. [ 1] Condensers are routinely used in laboratory operations such as distillation, reflux, and ...
A stage in the manufacture of a Bristol blue glass ship's decanter.The blowpipe is being held in the glassblower's left hand. The glass is glowing yellow. As a novel glass forming technique created in the middle of the 1st century BC, glassblowing exploited a working property of glass that was previously unknown to glassworkers; inflation, which is the expansion of a molten blob of glass by ...
Wheel-made pottery dates back to roughly 2500 BC. Before this, the coil method of building the walls of the pot was employed. Most Greek vases were wheel-made, though as with the Rhyton mould-made pieces (so-called "plastic" pieces) are also found and decorative elements either hand-formed or by mould were added to thrown pots. More complex ...
The history of fluid mechanics is a fundamental strand of the history of physics and engineering. The study of the movement of fluids (liquids and gases) and the forces that act upon them dates back to pre-history. The field has undergone a continuous evolution, driven by human dependence on water, meteorological conditions and internal ...
Decoupage or découpage ( / ˌdeɪkuːˈpɑːʒ /; [ 1] French: [dekupaʒ]) is the art of decorating an object by gluing colored paper cutouts onto it in combination with special paint effects, gold leaf, and other decorative elements. Commonly, an object like a small box or an item of furniture is covered by cutouts from magazines or from ...
