FYI.

I have a number of unused ultrasonic humidifiers and have considered removing and using the ultrasonic transducers for several other applications. It appears that they may indeed be suitable for use in ultrasonic cleaner applications easier than I thought if all you have to do is glue the transducer to the bottom of a metal pan. - Steve N From: [mailto: On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2010 5:23 PM To: Subject: WARNING liposomal vitamin C I bought a cheap Chinese ultrasonic bath to make liposomal vitamin C a few months ago. It worked quite well for that purpose, but I found that it wasn't sealed very well, and when pouring out the contents, some liquid could find its way inside the unit. I should have done something about this, but didn't. A few days ago my unit caught fire, probably due to this poor design, and if I had left it unattended, it could have been much more serious. I have since bought a more expensive ultrasonic bath which seems to work better, and is well sealed so that liquid can't get inside. Not just a case of "buy cheap, get cheap", more "buy cheap, burn your house down!" I just thought I should pass this around in case anyone else has bought a cheap ultrasonic bath. It should be possible to seal around the metal bath part using a hot glue gun, or other sealant. Incidentally, when I took the gadget apart I found it is simply a frequency generator, an amplifier and an ultrasonic transducer glued to the bottom of the metal bath. Paul __._,_.___ ,___
