First real test run done. Yesterday evening before going to bed I set up the system with temp setting 85C and full magazine of smoke pucks. Oh, and one brisket. Unfortunately last night was a bit cold. System could not get temperature higher than 70C and due to a software bug (what was I thinking? Probaply nothing, as usual) feeder spent five hours worth of pucks in about two hours before getting jammed due to too low stepper motor current limiter setting. Anyhow... Brisket turned out tender, moist and delicious: This morning I changed the setting to cold smoking, put piece of salmon there, loaded magazine, set the temperature to 7C, started the system and slipped and slided to work. Soon (relatively soon, in a day or two) to be cold smoked salmon: After about 2hrs, I got message from home saying there is no more smoke! Went home during lunchbreak and checked the system. Again I built something with too tight tolerances. Apparently about 2% of smoke pucks are 3mm thicker than "nor...

Hiljaista tällä rintamalla...

Lots have happened since last post. Just getting lazy to post new things here but perhaps this year brings a change. Status of ongoing projects: Flight Simulator Progressing slowly. Now when I have access to laser cutter/engraver, cnc mill and 3D printers I have started drawing plans for "general" gauge mechanics. "General" because it will be used as a basis for all gauges in future. Kitchen remodeling Almost done, two cabinet doors need some thinking because of hinge issues. Floor needs to be sanded and refinished. Replaced 30yrs old house fan with Vilpe 190p Eco . (It can be controlled with 0-10V DC signal so that will also be controlled by home automation system. Currently there is just a pontetiometer in kitchen for speed control.) Also replaced 30+yrs old Valmet range hood with Savo PK26 . Installation was quite difficult because I had to remove some unneeded parts first. I wonder if this voids the warranty... Now pulling the hood open contro...

Flux capacitor is working!

Image
Yesterday I finally got the new flux capacitor working. Unfortunately the subspace resonance field distorted the reality field of my cameras image cell so no video of first test run. Sorry. Here is a picture of it powered up but not running in full power. Another milestone on my way to world dominance was achieved today when I finally got the infinite improbability drive working. Does not look much but took some time to get it running. Depleted trilithium waste port in action: First real life test nears. Yesterday evening I already converted some fresh fish to delicious dinner with my new flux capacitor.
