I remoted into my home computer and set 2 printing

but... it's the first thing I've set printing since I formatted so they might not print right... won;t now till I get home and it'll be too late to print more by then....

so if anyone else can print one... go for it :-)

Impressive, I'm struggling to get mine to work and it's only 2 feet away .. thanks.

Ok, panic over I've turned a wooden plug. Not very elegant but it works!

More lightening than I've ever seen before, over here in high Wycombe.

I'm hoping that you happy campers get through it all OK.

Many are still partying and avoiding going back to wet tents.

The lighting is impressive!

Jim brought his printer, sounds like a Saturday project to me.

Air system is working.

Blower runs (probably with enough force to over come 30" WG ... find out tomorrow) and shifts quite a lot of air through a meter long sparge pipe.

If any thing needs printing now it's ear defenders ... the blower is a tad noisy!

Let the entertainment begin

another drum was then added and filled with water

the countdown begins

3....2...1

the end result of of this game was a nice dome in the base of the drum

We want to blow the bloody doors off

Bleedin' 'Ell, is that an airbag explosive? Do people know they are driving around with these things in their cars........?

It's OK, it was quite safe. Womble, for example, used his extensive Health and Safety training only to be discovered shielding himself behind a Jerry Can of flammable liquid.

Yes it's airbags, that sequence of photos is not quite right, the one of the drum flying in the air was from a single air bag, I was to slow to catch the twin shot one (but it gives a good idea of what was happening and I'm sure someone will post the right one soon).

Julian, you make it sound reckless, we were all stood at a safe distance, honest.

Is Pete asking how he can mount these to the front of his motor?

Some from the camera:

Chug and Pete with the escapee in the field.

The escapee on the run again

Laying out the base for the pool

Vince and Lynda on assembly duty

Lynda couldn't resist trying the pool, even though there was just an inch at the bottom! Chunder turns up now the assembly work is complete, of course

M67 heater + heat exchanger coil for the pool (10m of 12mm). In practise with a 12lpm pump the discharge to the pool was 20C below the temp of the M67 water, so we ran it at 80C with 60C discharge and at peak output got a good 3 degrees an hour rise in pool water temp.
