Floaty Me Boaty

If i recall, he melted the Ali first, then introduced and copper bars after

I believe it was 90% Copper. Really good to watch.

Been watching YouTube videos and a mixture of Copper and Ali comes out really nice. Looks like Gold 🙂

Thanks for the info.

Hi All, Received the attached form Glasgow University, so just a question of collating what everyone needs and spending a few days up there. Also, a very kind member has sent me some templates of the Plaque in question, so enquiries will be made as to where i can get some made up. I have a foundry in Hastings and a Blue Plaque manufacturer to contact. Kelvin Records.pdf

Just reading up on how to make a visit. Looks like being a couple of days well spent.

Thank you very much for the guidance.

Hi Dave, I have his number so will give him a call. Last time i spoke to him he was getting over knee surgery. Would you know if their archives are open to the Public?

Hi All, I have been talking to a chap that will cast the famous gear wheel for me, in Bronze, Brass or Ali, but ideally would need a digital drawing of the design. Would anyone on here have one or know where i could obtain one please? Once we get a price, others on here may wish to purchase one also. The size i am going for is 10.5 inches which seems the norm. I have attached a picture of the finished product i would like. Thanks in advance. Just been quoted £225 for a wheel cast in Aluminium Bronze, which apparently gives the same finish as Brass, but does no tarnish. Going to send me some pictures tomorrow. Fingers Crossed

Great Idea and worth investigation

That great, thank you ill have a look whilst at the Hotel tonight, so hopefully be able to pick one up locally. If not, I can do it on my next visit.

I was going to do some research to see what is out there. As long as it would work, that's great. Thanks

Hi All, 24V DC Electrical wiring question if i may, I have 4mm2 cable going from my batteries to the fridge, which is protected by a blade fuse at the battery end, but i would like to have a flexible wire, with plug fitted at the fridge end. My rationale behind this is ease of maintenance so i can just unplug the fridge, do what i have to do in the galley, then move it back into position when i want. Can anyone see any issues with re-wiring the fridge with a few foot of flexible cable like you have on a washing machine? The thicker cable should prevent the fridge suffering too much volt drop. The run of cable from the battery to the fridge would be reduced slightly as it would be a fixed length from the battery to the socket. Also, just trying to smarten the whole galley up in the process. Finally, i was going to do a temporary fix and take electrical measurements prior to fixing it all in position, so i can see what voltage i would get at the far end of the connections, but as i would have no load, not sure if that would work. Thanks in advance for your input, always appreciated.

I have them on the inverter/charger, via shoreline, and they are showing 100%, also most of the time the inverter/charger is flashing 'Float'. They are just over a year old, so hedging my bets that they are doing their job. but ....... Tony, just carrying on the thread from start to finish. Talc. Water. Belts.
