The Terminator is leaving office, I'd like you to take his place
Enjoy your vacation, we will eagerly await your return

I WILL BE BACK........ he said......

 

[raidy]

Raidy, do you think the wick would give off mg's instead of µg's? Unless you eat the wick I'm sure it could actually beautify the skin a bit..... lol

Sorry l3oertjie,
I will make no atty, which is definitely not better than a China-atty.
I want the FDA and the German authorities have no way to attack.
I will advance the quality of the attys.
So I think not even on copper.
This should not be a criticism, but this way I will not go.

Let us make a atty, where the FDA goes k.o. in "round one".

 

[l3oertjie]

Very good advice. I agree with you 100%. I will have to search for S/S mash. You are a good engineer Raidy.

By the way, what is your age? (just as a matter of interest)

Keep up the good work!

 

[l3oertjie]

My lill lathe is ready for action by the way.....

And yes, that is an HP 15c calculator for those who are interested......

 

[Gummy Bear]

sweet. can you cut threads with that little guy?

 

[illuxion]

I found another source for 400 mesh - Bellville Wire Cloth Co, Inc - wire cloth, wire cloth, wire mesh, woven wire, stainless steel wire mesh, mesh wire, woven wire mesh, wire mesh basket, wire mesh screen, woven wire cloth, stainless steel wire cloth, wire cloth screen, wire cloth strai

400 X 400 mesh 12"X12" is $49.95

I found that also, but the price is a little painful though. On the germany ebay there are some killer deals on mesh, but won't ship here. With the sampler kit I got, I'll try all of them. I hope 325 or 500 work well because amazon has those for $15 fo Amazon.com: Stainless Steel Type 304 Mesh #325 X 325 .0011" Wire Diameter 24" x 24": Industrial & Scientific and $30 for 24"x12" of Amazon.com: Stainless Steel Type 304 Mesh #500 X 500 .001" Wire Diameter 12" x 24": Industrial & Scientific, and I'm an amazon prime member so free 2nd day air or $4 overnight

l3oertjie, one of the links here for mesh suppliers also offers SS felt, which sounds close to your copper stuff.

And 80+ mods in a year, I'm thinking gotta be retired for sure

Raidy is a GRAND MASTER for sure. Wish I could meet the man! Have a beer at the Oktoberfest... or 6...!

315 that's even better. Here is the link to the one that I have had on my wish list for the past 5 years.

Just some feedback on this copper thing..... It wicks absolutely superb! But, as raidy says, there are definitely health concerns. So please everyone, do not try oxidised copper as a wicking material. It could be dangerous! Go with Raidy's S/S.

This lill thing dates back to the 1950's.... just before my dad looked at my mom with glistening eyes.........

How come many people cook in copper saucepans then???

People use copper pans for very limited usage. It can be used for items such as egg whites, because it will not change the egg whites to a greyish color like aluminum will. Copper, even in the most fancy kitchens, is not widely used. It has more of a nitch use. The color makes it highly visible, so i can understand how someone would think that it is used all the time. But, it isnt used very much at all because of health concerns. Copper is very reactive. It can even be used as a catalyst in some reactions. Raidy is correct in that you would NOT want to use this for this application. Frankly, copper pots have more use as a decoration than most chefs will get out of actually using them during preperation of any meal.

On the flip side, It is a fantastic conductor. If insulated from any fluids, and open air, it is could be used for its conductive properties. But, please do not use it for any application that will put it in contact with fluids/open air. The Statue of Liberty is copper. I would not recommend inhaling anything evaporated off of that surface. Using copper as the mesh or the heating element would be the same as snorting fluid off that statue... Not a good idea.

I am not saying that i do not like your thought proccess. I do like it. I just think this particular material choice is a poor one.

 

[Willriker]

What do you guys think of carbon fiber mesh? I am thinking that would be a pretty good material selection for this.

 

[l3oertjie]

I say "go with the MASTERS choice" Stainless steel. Full stop.

 

[raidy]

Hello, my name is LongPipe. Raidy makes me in one day and one night!

He bought me in a pipe shop:

First he drilled out the inside diameter of the of the head and neck

Then he made the genisis atty with tank and alu-tube

Now a simple electronics with micro switches and FET (raidy found it simple)

Finally, a natural stone with neodymium magnet as a holder and charger

Started at 12am, finished at 3am in the morning.

Now I was in the living room along with many other pipes and waiting for them to raidy me again evaporated.
But what does he do? He makes the next pipe Huhhhh, i could cry
This night i go killing his fu....... DreamPipe

 

[slopes]

Willriker - relax. I wasn't going to use copper - I was just curious. Can someone explain the oxidisation process on the SS mesh for me? What would happen if the mesh was not oxidised (just being curious again )

 

[Gummy Bear]

It would short out the coil. The how to on oxidation of the mesh was waaaaaay back there somewhere.

 

[roadrash]

I oxidized the mesh from a 510 atty. :>(
