The prototype Raw Power WVO Centrifuge is all set up and I have to say it is SWEEEET!. And I normally don’t condone use of capitals!
To properly integrate the new unit, I build a very sturdy table and improved the wiring with a weather proof junction box with weather proof switches. I also added my prototype inline heater that I will be offering as a bolt on option. Everything worked like a dream, the fabricated enclosure was impossible to seal properly and I ended up blowing out the upper motor bearing due to contamination. The O-ring seals work the way they are supposed to and I have not seen a drop get past them. I installed a vent on the lid to let the enclosure breath and have seen vapors escaping when the unit is at operating temperature, this was installed at a whim but was exactly the reason that I put the three ports into the lid: future expansion and creativity.
So, anyway, this entry was more of a general update for all those that are interested and watching the progress. (competitors and customers alike) .
Things on the go: tooling for the bolt on heater and testing the “More Power” 5000rpm version. Finally, the countdown for the pre-production orders in ON!
