The Gustavus Thread

Excellent job.

Thanks Barren, what I find most despicable is that a whole truck load of mother boards is reduced to a few pints of concentrates



I've learned so much by building this small centrifuge that I'm already planning a much larger build.

Yea I know what you mean. It all goes up in smoke with a lot of useless ash. I'm anxious to see what your final out come is on this.

I'm about half done with the run when the motor went up in smoke, anyhow I brought the small plastic tobacco tub in to scale, half full it weighs 2.70 lbs. of concentrates

That sounds like it was working then before the blow up.

Good thing I had a spare, just about finished relocating the replacemnt motor which this time is mounted from the side keeping it nice and dry. Instead of being direct coupled to the motor it's now belt driven.

Came if for a coffee break, then back out to the shop to finish cutting in the slots for the motor tightener then weld a bracket for the controller.

I feel that is the way to go with it.

The new set up is actualy working better than I originally had it.

Barren do you care to venture a guess as to the metal in the tan streaks in picture number two below.
