Vacuum Pump to laminate RC wings with carbon or epoxy
Fibreglass Composites provide unique and valuable benefits, from high strength-to-weight ratios, relatively low cost, durability, chemical, water and abrasion resistance all in one.
fibreglass is a type of composite material that that is widely used for homemade RC planes wings.
However the mechanical properties and performances are highly dependent on composite production conditions under which they are produced, from hand lay-up to vacuum bagging.
This project will focus on vacuum bagging process and show how to reuse a cheap refrigerator compressor as the main vacuum pump.
You can find all the details into my Hackaday's project page: https://hackaday.io/project/196665-a-vacuum-pump-with-old-fridge-motor
and the pump running !
And a short video showing the start of the vacuum succion with a much bigger vaccum bag:
