Can I make a vacuum pump with a pneumatic piston like this? My idea is to simply attach a handle on one side and a foot "handle" on the other and use a small tube and a pair of check valves. I don't need to generate a space-grade vacuum, just enough of a vacuum to boil ethanol or acetone at below room temperature.

Why not simply use an aspirator that hooks up to the water faucet?

I know it's a type of lab equipment, but I don't think this solves anything at all.

Explode how? I can make acetone boil with a syringe already. I just want something more reliable and more powerful than a plastic syringe.

They are not illegal, but how OP is using them probably is. BTW how does it feel to be a Europoor seething in your "socialism" and coping by hurling insults at freedom-loving nations?

Is it illegal to make heat exchangers now? Not everyone on the internet is cooking crack like your neighbors are.
