[Gasification] Enventix: Syngas and Biochar from Waste

[Tom Miles]

Tom Reed,

 

I've never seen you "blow a fuse" so you must have gotten it out of your system early.

Dear GF and all

 

When I was a young (16) sprat I got used graphite electrodes from the movie theatre projector man and putthem in series with my mother's iron to AC melt all kinds of stuff.  Also blew a lot of fuses.

I wouldn't say it was sophisticated or difficult to rework a couple of road side microwave ovens.

This guy seems to be able to cast metal and talk on his cellphone at the same time.

Extra cooling of the magnetrons is essential,the 12volt fans are only $6 each,

An awareness of the dangers of stray radiation is useful. A sheet
metal enclosure suitably grounded, forming a "Faraday cage" will help.

Fluorescent tubes will glow in the presence of such radiation and as you say

RFI will prevail if you are careless, 

Carbon arc furnaces are old technology.and not cheap to run unless you make your own electrodes.

I think its great that some of the group are thinking out side the box.

..you can contain that MW scale 2.4Ghz radiation so you don't
jam out mW scale 2.4Ghz WIFI, Bluetooth and cell phone etc
communications?  (Would make a nice revenge for my first ISP 
job though, we were WIFI-based and were jammed out of business 
by Telenor's home WIFI routers.)

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
