I may have missed it- but, have you posted the design plans for your Tornego II feed system? I would love to try and build something like this. I just ordered an Ego USB and I think this would be the perfect addition. I plan on making a dock for it by simply putting a USB cable into a base. It will have to be heavy enough to be able to pull it out with one hand. Now I have to research a 5V battery system to turn into a PCC like you described for the shirt pocket. Again details and plans would be appreciated.

Please tell me you are not going to keep it all to yourself. We want to play too.

My first "mod" is a centrifuge cartomizer dryer. I'm going to post the plans for it soon. Once I perfect this I will be looking for the next thing to modify and your modification looks to be a great starter for learning some techniques.

My cartomizer dryer is in the prototype - proof of concept stage. I took a CD spindle and sandwiched a CD sized chunk of 1 1/2" foam rubber and CD to hold the cartos. Then a bolt through the center of the spindle to attach it to the drill. Then spin away and watch the water fly out of the cartos. This proof of concept appears to work but I think I need a bigger disk to increase the centrifugal force. The finished product will be a wooden disk with holes to slip the carto's into.

Well... if we're going to run off on a tangent.. then it's gonna be MY tangent damnit!

I live on a relatively small inland lake.. which we love. It has a low bridge clearance in one section (which creates a challenge), and if you have anything wider than 8.6', you're not going to be able to park at any of the bars or restaurants. The lake has nothing but bowriders, deckboats, and pontoon boats on it. And none of those are the "Scottbee way". So here is/was my solution:

The PC Project

Wait till you get to the end.. it just gets better and better. :p

Wow, Scottbee I've been following your posts since your were 'Scottyballs' and I have always marveled at your ingenuity. I could never, ever get my homemade 510 ZFM to work properly and spent 13 hours on amphetamines in a hunched over position over my coffee table zealously trying with no success.... LOL my Mom thinks that the E-cig is going to be the downfall of my insanity...I can see how your neighbors may think you're insane, but I think modifying things to meet personal needs and better a product is a sign of the contrary (to an extent) But damn, that's one ridiculous boat!

And I agree, there is still not one pv on the market that...just...works. However, if there's one person that will make that happen, I'd bet my money on you. Keep it up.
