Hi zero

What was your experience with the modified version of the desulfator you showed in your video #315?

If it worth building? How did it perform?

Thanks
Miljan

I have run into this problem so many times now that I am posting the workaround here.
Problem: system-config-samba does nothing when launched, even preceded by gksu.
Workaround:

Code Select Expand

$ sudo touch /etc/libuser.conf
All this does is create an empty file libuser.conf in directory /etc.
Why we are still f#(%ing around with this "workaround" even as of 16.04LTS is beyond any comprehension.

please keep us posted on your progress here. Ive had to put this on the back burner and now I have to launch new development for next years product line. So there will be no chance I will be able to work on this for a long time. I think this will be the last major development process we wil go through though. Next years product line probably will not change a whole lot for a few years.

Really Cool stuff man.  I'm working on something like this as well, but it's would be 3 layer paint and I'm only looking to use ultraviolet heat differential. Graphene is amazing!

Very interesting Zero.  I hope you get back to this project.  I would love to see more videos about this idea from you.  I have been doing some experimenting with this kind of idea as well.  Right now I'm using a single bar of Iron/steel and have small input coils along the coil.  The output is in the middle of the bar.  The input coils and magnets place asymmetrically place around the coils have given some very interesting results.  The idea is to be spinning magnetic flux around much like traversal waves of a slinky.   By making the flux collide at the center of the bar, it  makes asymmetrical AC power output.  I basically have to magnetic slinky hitting each other at the ouput coil. The input is pulsed DC.  Version 2 is to use an iron laminate or 'tape wrapped transformer core'  but it taking me a while to do all of this around work and all.

Yup I just put lava rocks in it. You can always add filtering to it too, but to get an inexpensive base unit on the market this is how we are going to offer it. Ive been running a small 3 HP generator with it with no tar issues. As soon as funding will allow, Im going to get a slightly larger one. This one is just to small to really do anything running on wood gas.

Damn that's cool. What's inside the ammo case? Filter media?

Ive been very busy in RnD, Ive developed three new products that are in much lower price ranges. We now have a true Micro Gasifier, it is tiny but quite powerful as this is a pellet fuel machine. It is a really neat little machine! We are offering this for $650.00 bucks.

Ive also developed a rocket cook stove and a collapsible portable fire pit. Both are under $200.00!!
