Day 269, Fan pipe, let's get it out, break like the wind, etc



That's it, the Superlato Extractor System 222-015 MKI fabrique en Crookes.

Ready for the design council to sort out their award system and bestow some sort of gift.

Any day now James Dyson will be on the phone.

Trevor Baylis will be in touch to develop a wind-up version for the African Savanna.

But most of it will now be possible for soldering to take place without lead and flux fumes being vented straight up my nose causing irritation and poisoning.

This is a major contribution to electrical fabrication safety, and no mistake.



Above is internal view from the business, or suction, end.  Here we can see the supersize 10cm turbine blade inside the robust modular plastic support shroud.  The extension of the high-density cardboard tubing prevents ingestion of fingers and potential chafing of digits.




This external view shows some of the extendable washing-dryer vent-pipe, the 12vDC power connector, and the longitudinal view of the component arrangement.  Not forgetting the vast quantity of the secret ingredient used to make it robust and air tight, which is parcel tape.

The intake aperture can be reduced in size to increase the force of airflow over the working area.  All in all a very adaptable piece of kit - it can be rested alongside the work to present a side-vent extraction process, and it is possible to dangle the device from above, using an arrangement of pieces of string, to remove fumage in the manner of an inverted mistral wind.

Now onward to the testing.
