Re: Fusor remote - the big one
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 9:05 amAt our age, that's doubtful, but I'll go with it.. 
- Ridge at the bottom fading fast -- should be fine. I never did win a beauty pageant anyway.
While testing other stuff, when I turned on what I call "scientific power" my ion supply, at the time under no load, just went up in smoke. On inspection, it was soaking wet on top. Thing is, it was under a sq foot of spare lead sheet that wasn't wet, and nothing else was wet either. It smoked ahead of any fusing, burning a couple pins off the connector in the control PCB, it's probably repairable, but due to Bill being Bill, we have a spare, which I hope to lash in today, and fix it all at leisure later on. Like brave chemists of the past, I tasted the liquid, which was clear then (it had a very low pH, very acid). Now the rag I wiped it off with looks like this a day or two later:
- Rag...it wasn't purple when I used it.
I can do without this kind of distraction!
- I'll fix this one I think, once I get it washed out of whatever that evil stuff was.
A few final touches on the code, and it's ready to rock....news soon I hope.
Those who won't be stopped...can't be.
