My best performing venturi was an ejector, work that one out.

I've been slowly comming to that conclusion ... venturis are pants.

I've been slowly coming to the conclusion that your venturis are pants.

It's not your venturis, it's the spaghetti that you call pipework that's to blame.

I was going to mention that but then thought I'd done enough pee taking for this thread.

It's mother lovely pipework too.  I guess there's just a vague, outside chance that you might be right, but I'd never admit to it.

It's alright for you chaps with palatial sheds to have lovely straight runs and swept bends, but don't forget all my kit is squeezed into 6' square with only about 4' at the eves.  I'd list all the kit I've fitted in but I'd hate to create bio-envy on the forum.

On the up side, PLUG's working OK now I've got the flow metre and filter round the right way and installed a NR valve so the pressure switch doesn't cycle the pump too frequently.  It's wonderful not carrying 20 ltr containers round to the drive to fill the car.

Ha, if that's the best you can do then the art of pee taking is one you've obviously yet to master.

I have no trouble with devastating sarcastic wit, I can bring grown men to tears in a single sentence but I don't want to turn you into a gibbering wreck,  well you do, on the odd occasion, come in handy.

Yes, I've seen that but I never thought it was due to wit ... I put it down to you talking some other form of it.

Just ordered a 50W transducer and driver board for £35 from HK

Not producing Bio anymore, so I'm going to be experimenting with ultrasonic coffee brewing.

Just posting if anyone else was interested?

To make ice coffee , brewing warm creates an accidic taste , you can cold brew but that takes 12 hours in the fridge , wondering if I can just sonicate cold milk and coffee in a French press.

Sounds like I'll have to keep you guys updated , didn't think you lot would be interested in brewing anything but bio, if it doesn't work out with the coffee I may try some with fresh veg.

I love good iced coffee. Bad iced coffee is foul, no inbetween.
No such thing on the market in this country. Best I've ever tasted was Northern Territories Iced Coffee in NT, Australia.
Used to, (maybe still is) a coffee shop in Chiang Rai, Thailand, which was nearly as good, on the right day.
Really miss the taste of it. Never thought of making it.

Hmmm, Chicken and chips, followed by a litre of iced coffee, and chain smoking marlboro rolling tobacco, sat on Anzac hill overlooking Alice Springs, as the sun goes down................
Something that will probably never happen again...... :'(
