Related Questions

What gas is used to power the AGRO-JET® and why?

MIT Canada FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) powers the AGRO-JET®. CO2 is a non-flammable liquid gas that can be safely stored at high pressure and is readily available in a variety of cylinder sizes. The cylinder supplied with the unit will power the AGRO-JET® through several hundred injections. No, only the medication passes through the skin; the CO2 simply powers the internal mechanism of the AGRO-JET®.

Does the AGRO-JET® orifice ever plug and if so, how do I unplug it?

MIT Canada FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Flushing the unit with de-mineralized water after each session will minimize or eliminate any risk of plugging. If an orifice ever becomes plugged, the operator can usually remove the blockage within just a few minutes. Relieve any pressure by turning off the CO2 supply and holding down the trigger for 5 seconds to release the gas. Remove the skin stretcher and orifice from the barrel (retainer nut is hand-tight - no tools are required) and inspect closely.

Is compressed air the only gas used to power a jet mill?

Jet Milling Equipment FAQs by The Jet Pulverizer Co.
No. Commercially, compressed air is by far the most commonly used gas but super heated steam (no moisture is present in the super heat state) is used in very large installations grinding primarily titanium dioxide pigment. Nitrogen is commonly used when a material must be ground in an inert atmosphere to protect from oxidation and possible fire or even explosion of the product. Argon has also been used for this purpose if the less expensive nitrogen was unsuitable.

Can jet mills only be used for particle size reduction?

Jet Milling Equipment FAQs by The Jet Pulverizer Co.
One of the important secondary uses for jet mills is to blend powders. Two or more streams of material may be fed to the jet mill at the same time resulting in a perfect homogeneous blend at the output. One product may also be coated by another as well as blended. In some instances liquid additives have been injected under pressure through one or more atomizing spray nozzles either directly into the grinding chamber, into the main grinding air inlet or into the vortex at the mill exit.

What is Jet Lag?

Support Questions & Answers | The Litebook Company
Jet lag, or dysrhythmia, occurs when the body clock is not synchronized with an air traveler's new time zone, causing a disruption of more than 50 physiological and psychological rhythms. Studies show that jet lag worsens with age, particularly after 50. Until recently, jet lag was dismissed as merely an unpleasant side effect of air travel. New research suggests that it also causes memory loss, shrinkage of parts of the brain, and negative side effects on blood pressure.

Jet lag is really all about resetting your "biological clock." As Ireland is 7-8 hours ahead of PST, and New Zealand is about 20 hrs behind, we really find the best way for us to deal with jet lag is to arrive a day or two early whenever possible. We can't stress this too highly. Many guests think that they can just hop off the plane and begin touring. Not usually true.
