SRV destructive testing #2

Very brief domonstration of SRV working. I will definitely have to install some type of muffler on this. Possibly a lawnmower muffler. I also need to check for leaks at the valve with some type of ignition source that I can operate from a "safe" distance. The open space underneath the valve is equivalent to the volume of a 20 ounce coke bottle. This makes me think that 13 LPM is flooding a lawn mower to get it to run. I believe the concussion moved the camera. More to come.

The idea of the muffler is good,but the lawnmover muffler is to small to hold so much presure,a car muffler will hold better,by the way nice solid piece of engineering.

Thanks, I thought about a car muffler, but they are a little bigger than I want. I'll put an extra baffle in it to absorb some of the force.

If you pause the video and stop right on the flash, you will see a stray light off to the left. I dont know what that is. Reflection maybe? Weird....

NICE pat, that looks cool, and it works

[pat1huey]

Short and sweet. But there is always room for improvement. The best is yet to come...

I do feel there is a chance that with higher production levels that a flashback can chase the bubbles down through the bubbler and chase all the way back to a cell. I have a few ideas to counter this, one of which I am using on the new bubbler design.

...nevermind. i realized later that was the hose you were igniting...

[usuryfree1776]

pat,

if you watch the video frame by frame, at the point of explosion, you'll notice there is also considerable flame in the "down tube" (the one on the right - believe it's your SRV recirculator tube). that may become a point of concern...

Thats funny, nobody wants the moonshine I make, LOL... I wasnt jokin when I said I had the perfect place to test this. I live in the middle of nowhere. The way I look at it, thats a potential pipe bomb. I dont watch this stuff happen. I worry about all this glass and pvc that people are using and selling. Anything that can happen will happen, and I dont think anybody wants hydroxy to get a bad rep, before it can take off. Know what I mean?

nice to have a freakin' bomb shelter to do your testing in ... when I set my rig up in the back yard I got neighbors hanging over the fence drooling ... they swear my rig looks like a moonshine still and keep demanding some of the product ...
