While I think the Pilson Guitars guy did a good job, I suspect that replicating the Harvey Gyro Air internal separator design is a violation of their patent rights. And that what he refers to as an impeller is not one. ;) I didn't research their patents to confirm. Nice of him to give them credit f...

Actually it is tea. :) Everyone in the family drinks tea but only my husband drinks coffee. I am not sure why she decided to collect mugs. :confused: Brenda, Fellow tea drinker here as well. Thanks for the storage/display inspiration. That is an eclectic assortment of mugs...very nice. My son and I...

I finally watched all three of those axial-cyclone videos, and the guy is a pretty entertaining presenter. I have a 3D printer, and have used it a lot. But the novelty has worn off, and I wouldn't be excited about printing for hundreds of hours to build those twin cyclones! The videos did get me cu...

Seems like most of the problem is getting that last 1 percent. I guess a final HEPA filter will do it but expensive and impedes air flow. And apparently exhausting that last one percent outside is impractical for house heat conservation or whatever reason. Steve, Yeah, HEPA filters are generally co...

Dennis, Definitely an interesting result and thanks for sharing. The downside, as I see it, with the horizontal Dust Deputy is the egress of sawdust is convoluted. The axial style or horizontal cyclone like the GyroAir has a dust collection port on the bottom of the separator making for simple colle...

Okay, should be a non-controversial post here, but watch fellow forum members prove me wrong. :( From an engineering standpoint, I have always been intrigued by the horizontal style cyclone dust separators that Harvey sells. Not so intrigued that I would spend over $3k on one, but I like the easy du...

I wish I had the evidence you request. Scott, It isn't so much about providing "evidence" as details matter. Are there any other details you can remember about what was being done to this poor, defenseless Mark V to cause it to flip over in Shopsmith HQ during this test? This started off ...

Sounds like an urban myth to me!!! That's what happened. Scott, Okay, I'll play along. Where are the pics of the flipped over Mark V? Any other details for how this happened, i.e. what was being tested specifically? Up above, you can see where I posted a video of the Bosch Reaxx (small, light porta...

So you don't believe in momentum? Any other physical properties of the universe you think are urban myths? :D We had an interesting discussion until you ignored everything I said about how an electric brake might work for the PowerPro. Then you bring up an anecdote I choose not to believe. I never ...

Because I don't believe everything I read on the internet or see on someone's YT channel.
