derrilex Ended up with the 12V 5 amp unit from jaycar. Got a cheapie fan, not a eco friendly one and a bucket.
Koffee_Kosmo Looking "fan"tastic :thumb: Roaster looks nice as well, perhaps its roast day tomorrow if the Turbo Oven is sourced KK
Brett_H Mate... seriously, it looks a bit too pro! Spot the builder eh: Galvo strapping... Is there nothing it can't do!!! :thumb:
Koffee_Kosmo Don't forget to make a video of the roaster I would also like to take a video of both roaster versions side by side Have to tee up a day for it KK
derrilex Totally out of my league KK. Pics are one thing, vids quite another but you are more than welcome to handicam up anytime you want. Hopefully my greens arrive tomorrow and I'll get the TO from Chris and all shall be well :thumb:

Koffee_Kosmo I also feel now seeing the beans agitate that it could use a little taming We can tame it by altering and tweaking the blades KK
Koffee_Kosmo derrilex wrote: 12 V AM. KK, I guess so. Take one off ? It's the amps that gives the juice for speed Yes cut one off and see how it goes Have a look at the KK videos on my you tube channel for a visual http://youtu.be/Hj1IQ8MtPWo KK
derrilex I know what you're thinking AM, variable resistor ? Couyld probably cobble something together from a fan speed resistor
Koffee_Kosmo The first roast would be considered as :thumb: The second ( Photos 3&4 ) roast looks like its on the verge of second crack and needed a little more time That should not distract you from sampling it, it will just need extra time to degas KK
derrilex http://s1174.photobucket.com/albums/r603/derrilex/roaster%20vid%20test/?action=view¤t=VIDEO0004.mp4 Go to video 1 Vid using 1 blade. Doesnt look that fast in real life but the camera doesnt lie I guess. Previously the beans were been spun around the bowl as one mass. Now thet are moving around a bit but with heaps more lift and roll motion. I think slowing it down a touch could be good
Koffee_Kosmo Had a look at the video (#1) Looks a fair bit better than previously It may need a stubby half size agitator at the opposite end of the full one Experiment a little and see what comes from it Use those coloured segments as your guide KK
derrilex http://s1174.photobucket.com/albums/r603/derrilex/roaster%20vid%20test/?action=view¤t=VIDEO0019.mp4 go to video 1 first part is at 10 ish volts and the second is a touch over 8 volts
