Not sure to whom the request is directed. Don't think it's me, but if you need pix of my stuff, we're S.O.L. I'm out of town for another couple of months. Would be interested in seeing some pictures of your set-up though. Mine shook like a big dog until i got the idea of mounting the sleeve...

I don't know how I managed to miss that thread. That set up is way cool. Maybe further on down the line, I can get myself set up that well. I thought the bowl was one of the bought ones until I saw in your original thread that you had made it up. It looks very smooth. See, I told everybody I...

o1951, thanks for trying. I did like your numbers better. I came up with the 1853 number as well. Funny thing is, a couple of weeks ago, I found a formula on some website and came up with just over 2000g. I saved it on my desktop at work. Unfortunately, I am still out with the knee and don't...

The rotor is 11" in diameter. The spin is 3450 RPM. Sheaves on motor and shaft are the same size. Works out to about 2000g. Left a belt in there for allow some slip during start-up.

The idea that one can mark an imbalance with a marker/crayon does have some history. I worked at a shop that had about 5 different methods of balancing tires. One of them used a light to find the imbalance. A switch was mounted such that it was actuated by the lower control arm as the arm...

Thanks for the responses. I LIKE it! Simplecentrifuge was one of the ones I looked at and had determined that would be the one if I decided to buy. I saw the cone shaped insert and also saw the $100 price tag. The way I got the fluid into the bottom of the bowl is with that section of copper...

"If the OP doesn't mind, I'll try to post up some pics of the setup I tinkered with. (I still have it actually) Same principal, much smaller scale." Absolutely I would NOT mind at all. The more info the better. My major goal here is to make cleaner fuel for my heater. Cleaner reduces wear...

Here's the result of the first run. It ended up being about 40 gallons, it was unthinned and unheated, but had been previously filtered down to 5 microns. The first three are what I scraped out with my finger, the next ones are how I thinned it with about an ounce of gas and then ran it...

Looking after I posted, I really need to get a lathe and a tig welder.

Thanks for the interest. To answer some of the questions: 1.The keyed sleeve in the center is a coupling from McMaster-Carr. 2.Yes, it is bolted to the floor with anchor bolts. There is enough shake that the whole assembly wants to walk around. I didn't know how wavy my floor was until I set...

Hello all. I intended to post this up later (first run is not complete), but got dared and couldn't resist. Here's the background: I bought some surplus tent heaters and was interested in burning WMO in them. I already have a filtration set up working for other reasons so I already had some...
