Doug,
This is good news and your prototype is world class! I just ordered my
disc today

So you're way a head of me and this -14 deg F weather isn't helping any...
Thanks for your generosity,
Jeff

Hi Paul, Jeff and Colleagues,
Ideas are two a penny, and when I suggested a concept for a simple chipping
device that would be useful for cooking stove fuel, never thought I would
see the day of it coming into existence! I used the materials to hand in my
shed, so in part this set just how far I could develop the concept, but you
can see for yourselves that it is more or less identical to the original
drawing shown on the Fluidyne Archivewww.fluidynenz.250x.com
I reduced the blade diameter to 200mm (8") and this opens the cutting
surfaces to allow a stick size of about 1.25" diameter to be cut on the
diagonal, the easiest way to slice through wood fibres. I used green
coppiced poplar sticks 1.25" at their butt end, and was surprised at how
little effort it took to chop the whole stick. My next trials will use
native hardwood branches and some bamboo growing down the back paddock.
This is work in progress, and I will show it all on the Fluidyne Archive
once finished, but as I promised a prototype this week to see, here it
is(:-)
Doug Williams,
Fluidyne.
