[RAMSET]

sweet............

I forgot all about these guys ,sorta funny too
Years ago I was building a core rig [multiple cores] for a high speed rail application [Amtrak]and these fellahs were one of my suppliers

Polished Stainless Steel - Tubing - Solid Bars - Stocking - Metal - Fleischer Tube Distributors Corp. - Your Metal Problems Solved

Now the funny part ,Yah know how every body is all 'CAREFUL" with elec and water.Well ,... years back as a side job I would go down into the subways {on a fairly regular basis] And have to Core drill over the live rail .on the ceiling the walls and right next to the track on the Tie ............. [600 amps dc].
Piece of rubber over the rail ........... that was my protection plus common sense!!

Oh just for clarity You run water thru the bit when you diamond core drill!!

true story ... they could never shut the rail down for me and the test lab had no one else to take those samples [chickens] .

Any how the point is be safe .......... and you will be!

They're gonna see if they have some tube in stock, if so I'll send you some with the expander!
Gotta go back to work

Here's an interesting shim stock supplier:

Order STAINLESS 300 SERIES SHIM STOCK in Small Quantities at OnlineMetals.com

What We Need:
Order Stainless 300 Series Shim Stock in Small Quantities at OnlineMetals.com

Slovenia, not to be a nag, but you gonna be able to cut that? After all it is fully hardened. Yea what was I thinking it is shim stock though.. it is designed to be cut. Just ignore me.

Hardened

Tektron,

You well may be right. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!! No, I saw the hardened too. It may be a case where it has to be heated before we could cut it. Ideally it should be cut on a shear to insure perfect cut with no warping and no material loss. I don't have a shear but that piece would make a bunch of rings.

Best Regards,
Slovenia

It's interesting that I found kind of metal plate almost with required dimensions.I'm in other town now but I think there is already ready piece of metal 0.5mm wide and 0.2mm thick used for something , which I wasn't able to figure out. I found that when I cleaned my attic.

Heating Element

Companies sell heating elements of this dimension. That's probably what you found in your attic.

Muffler shops

Call the muffler shops in your area ,high end exhaust these days is stainless!
2.5 inches is a standard size ...we can stretch it to where we want it!

I'm sending the spreader tomorrow, have a good night

I may have 2.5" in my garage

I used to be a very serious Joe Cell guy. I may have some in my garage. I know my supplier has it and it's relatively cheap.

My supplier is Voracious Motorsports. I think they're out of NJ.

Guests??

Have you seen the number of guests we have checking us out?? There's 26 of them this evening at one time. That's a bunch.

Are these your buddies Chet?

Cut-off Saw

I have an industrial abrasive cut-off saw too Chet.

This was all necessary equipment when I did hydrogen with all the stainless tubes. I think my outer tubes were 5" on my Oz Nitro Cells. Shame we couldn't figure out how the Germans made those work in their tanks during WWII.

I sure hope there our buddies S

Instinct ,

People know there's something here,I have to say we are going to learn by this experience ,and its not going to be "Peter Davey was Nuts!

More like "There's a better way to heat water" If you take it to the most Basic level, the iron resistor in the kettle [which I am going to pick up for a baseline]
it doesn't move the water it sits there stagnant ,sure the heat moves through the solution , but its lame.
This device utilizes the electricity like a flame it becomes one with the water
moves right thru like a living blow torch agitating, mixing, bubbling, working,

Fast Very fast!!
And then maybe we find out why this device is built the way it is?

Slovenia this is gonna be tons of fun ,I can't believe we actually have
a device that I have all the skills to build!Tolerances and all..........
I am freaking happy!!

Thank you so much
Chet
Ps
I forgot to tell you ,several years ago there was a man who was always just picking on guys [on the forums],He was a very smart German electrical engineer,we battled all the time.
He was always right ...........
well we became somewhat friendly and one day he told me how he had a device in his heating system that heated up the water jacket
He said it was an open circuit of raw voltage configured a certain way,i never pressed him for details because he said it could be very dangerous [I thought plasma]It was Much much more efficient than any thing out there saved him a lot of money
But it was illegal to have it this way.
his stock went up with me big time right there!!


WE are going to learn something here .................

Something Good!!

Chet

[Slovenia]

I sure hope their our buddies

There's a bunch of them watching. I've been watching them. Most of the forum members lurk without saying a word either.
