Here is a picture of the vacuum setup that was described in the post for the first vacuum test (although this picture is of the second test). My chamber is the one on the ground, and is connected to the orange and black roughing pump by the clear line. Dr. Bulman's chamber is the black cylinder on the back of the table, and the pressure gauge is in front of it. The gauge is connected to a thermocouple sensor which is mounted inside of the chamber. In the future, I hope to buy a thermocouple sensor and build a feedthrough directly into my fusor, as the roughing pump has to work twice as hard in this configuration to pump out both chambers.
