Adjusting the heat is easier. Just move the flame away.
Not sure about that one. Any way I am going to run it past the clever people tomorrow and see what they come up with after they have done there calculations and cadded it up. Sounds like a good job for one of the apprentices. tesnews

Which buggers up the targeting of the heat.

Most of the machines I have seen work on timing in a targeted flame.

It looks like a very simple and potentially elegant solution. I was talking to ovenpaa about this a while back.

The trick is 2 fold. Getting the process right, then controlling it. The latter is the important bit in terms of consistency.

Get an arduino in there, control the whole thing with a few sensors :-)

Get the other half in there, control the whole thing with a few promises....

I can only go by what I was told by the people who developed it. Sounds like they've got it all wrong.

Looks like something that could be made with a biscuit tin, a wire coathanger and a microwave motor.

The drum on the video is 125mm available on Ebay and Amazon. Am in the process of making one for MiLisCer. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for the info. A very clever idea is it your design if so you should be selling them I reckon people would buy them my friend.

What are you going to sense, and what are you going to control in response?
