Brake fluid tester teardown
Added 2024-10-01 04:37:10 +0000 UTCA look at a brake fluid tester for the usual glycol based brake fluids used in vehicle hydraulic braking systems.
This took a lot longer to reverse engineer than expected, because it worked in a completely different way than I anticipated.

Very interesting circiut. Thank you Clive!

I stuck a cup of water inside the container that used a vacuum pump to remove air from some chemicals we used. As the pressure went down, the water boiled furiously until it froze. I have no idea if the water vapor messed up anything with the vacuum pump, so we won't talk about that. ;-)

The boiling point cannot be increased beyond the critical point. Likewise, the boiling point decreases with decreasing pressure until the triple point is reached." That's why you can't make decent tea at high altitudes, as the low air pressure makes the water boil at a lower temperature.
