Updated Serbian Boiler Diagram

Updated Serbian Boiler Diagram

We have a new updated Serbian Boiler diagram from Mr. "C". Hopefully I'll be posting it later today. I'm cleaning it up a bit. It's got an interesting twist to it that wasn't shared before!! That will give you something to look forward to.

Stainless threaded slug

I told you I would explore attachment options for the ikea device
it is my intent to explore the "threaded" aspect of the thermos,
The Screw.....A big giant Screw with a hole tapped in the top for the threaded rod or bolt,

Shes so pretty I cant bring myself to drilling or welding onto her "YET"?

seems like an ackerman thread albeit a big one I will be checking when I get home tomorrow
If this proves to be the case it will be very easy to replicate with hand tools
[the criteria for our friend boguslaw]

Thanks
Chet
PS
Besides it will make it easier to switch out boilers with out having to make an attachment every time you decide to try something new,as well as a control of sorts ......attachment point never varies in density [weld] or position.... consistent Continuity !
Its actually quite beautiful for us experimenters, Many praises to the man who shared this with you!

Rings

Hi Chet,

Yes, I've had a lot of practice with tin can material and have developed a skill at making the rings. I had a Cuban machinist checking some of my rings out the other day and he couldn't figure out how I made them. I didn't tell him either. I just asked if he could make one. I told him I just used to sets of vice grips and a vice to make them and it blew his mind. He couldn't figure out what vice grips had to do with anything and/or how I was able to do it with that combo. It made me proud. We learned how to make stuff with ordinary hand tools in Africa. That's all I had over there.

I think we can get the job done as a team bouncing things off one another. Glad to work with you and share data.

Best Regards,
Slovenia

Well Well Mr.S
Getting real good at making Rings EH??

Good to know !! This is where its gonna get interesting..........

We should work as close as possible for the sake of Continuity!!
Since we're both going to have the same device we can Double our effectiveness with half the effort.

WE should scale the tube lengthwise ,for drive ring placement and also log our ring gaps and test results.

You are an excellent organizer ,if we run a log of our tests an open source
PDF of ring gaps and ring placement positions on the tube {sliding back and forth] with timed tests in Known volumes we can cover a lot of ground real quick!

It will also be easy for others to jump in and try things that we have not gotten to .............

Watcha think??

Boguslaw (Can Diameter?)

Boguslaw,

Give me the diameter of your can and I'll figure your ring measurements for you if you need that done. Let me know. I've gotten pretty good at that.

Nice!!

Very nice Daemnbart. Thanks!!

Hi!

Daemonbart

I sent you private message.Thank You very much.

P.S. Can you cut strips of required width and length (plus a few centimeters for handle) ?

[boguslaw]

This is cheap to send, no problem

Got it!

That would be wonderful!

[boguslaw]

I think its difficult to find thinner than 0,5mm

If I have an adress I will post some sheets for free to you!

Thickness!

I've asked in one shop about SS strip or sheet and they were willing to cut me a piece but the thinner they have was 0.5mm. Is that too much thickness ?

Pics of My New Stainless IKEA Flask

Here are some preliminary pictures of my new IKEA stainless flask. We're going to do some cutting on this beast and make it into an IKEA two tube thermos boiler.

Side View of Flask with top of flask pointing downward:


Top End of Open Flask


End & Side View of Open Flask


The bottom of the flask is flat and I failed to take a picture of that, but the bottom will be cut off to expose the inner flask which will also have it's bottom cut off. So, there is a bunch of cutting to do on this beast. I'll be taking pictures before and after each of my cuttings to the flask. Once I have everything done on the flask assembly, I'll take a final picture for you also.

More to come soon!!

.5mm Thickness Query

Hi Boguslaw,

Mr. "C" calls for .2mm thickness, but if .5mm is all you can get I'd go for it. You can always use a muffler expander and stretch it to the desired thickness. The .5mm thickness will work well enough to give you an idea of what we having going with this endeavor. It will give you a start. I would go for it. Anyway, I do think that the .2mm thickness is probably much more precise for tuning the can to 400 hz in your case than a .5mm ring. I look forward to hearing about your results. Good job finding that!!

Flask Mounting

Flask Mounting Method:

I'm not going to hang my flask as suggested into the water bath, but instead I'm going to invert the flask so the bottom will be pointing up so you can see the activity between the tubes and the ring. I think this assembly will fit nicely in one of my acrylic test cylinders. If that's the case, I'll be attaching my ring through the side of my acrylic tube like I did on my can mounting experiment. I'll also be attaching the thermos to the bottom of the test tank. I'll have the thermos attached to a "U" anchor on the bottom with a bolt and nut. The sides of the "U" bracket will be riveted to the threaded end of the flask. I'll have the opening, threaded end of flask, unrestricted and about one inch or so above the flat bottom of the test tank so the water can whip around and swirl for us unrestricted.

Attn.: The "U" anchor was Chet's idea!!

More to come soon.
