Pics To Share

I have a bunch of pics to share but image uploading program, tinypics, is not letting me upload them to the net. I don't know what's up with that but I need to find a different service I guess. I've tried about 15 times today and quite a few yesterday without success at uploading pics.

.2mm Thickness Ring Material

Well, the doctor called for a ring of iron, .2mm in thickness and 5mm wide.

My steel can material is .1mm thickness and when I fold it over you'd think it would be just .2mm but mine when folded over and flattened out really well is .5mm in thickness which is not acceptable.

The aluminum can material I have is .2mm thickness but it's aluminum and the doctor calls for ring of iron.

So, what to do???

I'm going to just make the best of the .1mm thick steel can material. I finally got the can so it's not touching my ring.

But, I don't have my ring arm secured in my slotted bolt yet and I think it needs to be before putting the juice to it.

Anyway, I'm almost ready for the water test but not quite.

Things

Hi Chet,

I sent you my latest updated pdf file and also answered your question in an e-mail.

The ring has been a real pain in the neck. I couldn't get the US ring to work for me since it was always contacting one of the sides of the can, so I went with the European spec ring just to see if I could make it work okay. Well, it's a pain too but I almost have it working. I wanted something for show like Core even if I didn't have it up to spec. Core is leaving me in the dust and I want to catch up. Anyway, I know the European spec ring is not right for US but I don't know how to make one that won't touch the can. The cans are part of the problem. When you sand them, you get them a little off round and you don't have any margin for error here. The ring is right there as close as it can be to the can. Trying to get the can perfectly round again is not that easy, so I'm looking at other options. Maybe sanding the top of the can when it's full is the way to go as you suggested.

Very good to hear from you. I've been discouraged because of the close tolerance ring scenario. I put another assembly together yesterday and worked on several rings. The .1mm ring I made is just to flimsy, so I'm going to make a .2mm ring today to replace it. I'm going to have to fold the sheet metal on a can even though I don't want to do so. It's a real bear to get that fold right with a medium sized vice and that's all I have. A brake would be fantastic but I don't have one. Also a shear for cutting the ring material would be great but I don't have one of those either. If this takes off right I may have to see if harbor freight can get me a combo shear brake device.

Thanks for checking in!!

P.S.: American Can is supposed to be 200mm or 7.9" supposedly. It's a very long assembly and I haven't found a can that long out there with an ID of 65mm. There are some tall cans out there but the ones I've seen were much smaller diameter and the 65mm is significant.

Best Regards,
Slovenia

Grounding

Remember Mr. "C" said to ground this device.

I'd say it's very important to do so!!!

See Through Boiler

I'm in the process of putting a see through boiler together today. My assembly is from a previous hydrogen experiment and isn't tall enough for the 200mm can, so I'll be using a 150mm can in lieu of the 200mm. Right now I'm trying to determine some things before I sink a whole lot more money into this project. I'm trying also to follow Core's lead and show you guys something happening with respect to this device and water.

I've found a good insulator for the base of the can which hold it very securely and keeps it from any side wobble. I am having some issues with the top edge of the can. Somehow I got it a little out of round and it's not working with me. It's touching the ring unfortunately and that is a real pain for me. It's holding me up.

I'll have you some pics tomorrow. My battery for my digital camera is still charging.

New Ring

Best looking one yet. So we're gaining. Wrong thickness though. I used .1mm thickness instead of .2mm.

Gap

I made my ring to the European specs of 2.1mm gap because the 1.725mm gap is just to fine for me yet. I'll try the 2.1mm gap first even though it's not the right gap and see what happens. Something is better than nothing.

But, according to Mr. "C" 2.1mm is the wrong gap for USA.
