Simplified mechanics on the way, sw 90% ready, need to do PCB. Waiting to receive some parts from internet suppliers. Pictures after they arrive. Stay tuned.

Smoke generator frame done (and some electronics)
Howdy y'all. Smoke generator has achieved a significant milestone. Electronics module is ready for initial test runs. Also the mechanics have advanced nicely, more about that later. Here are the brains of my cold smoke generator. I let the picture tell more: I finished the frame for my smoke generator and before going to bed I just had to tape all the parts to it just to see if they fit. Of course the heatshields will be metal and so on but here is the all-telling picture: How it works? Well... The "sled" retracts (to right) and smoke puck in magazine falls down to feeder rail.
