Fueless Friction Heater Manufacturer Found

[Cap-Z-ro]

@ C-One and Helmut,

Maybe he's saying that if he gets his nickel back, he will refund my money...or maybe not.



Between what I gleaned from the net, and after seeing the LIARdakis mess, I know how to, and how not to build one.

When and if I have one up and running successfully I will post the results, measurements, particulars, and pic's.

Meanwhile here is more of the LIARdakis fraud discourse.

Regards...

Sent to LIARdakis:

You have been advised to pick up the heater, and to replace the funds you have fraudulently obtained from my account.

Your email is confirmation that you have now refused to do as requested.

Now you shall have to deal with he appropriate authorities and answer to charges of international fraud...and that is 'your call'.

UPDATE

My new heater is completed...I will soon be done with installation preparations and will post photos of everything when things are finished.

I have one concern/problem though.

The rotating inner drum, although smooth in operation, is slow to start turning.

I am concerned my 1 HP motor will fail due to the strain on the start up sooner or later.

The motor has a capacitor start..

Is there something that will temporarily disconnect the motor before any damage occurs, and restart it again from the capacitor in a cycle, until the drum attains enough speed where the motor can then carry the load?

Or is there any such thing as what I described...and would it serve the purpose ?

I have a spring loaded clutch I am/can use also.

Cap:

Did you ever get your money back from that crook?  If you did, I must have missed that post.  I hope you do.

To my limited knowledge, all motors are designed to draw much higher power during "start-up" and this should be designed in to you motor/capacitor when it was built.  Unless it is taking more than say 30 seconds to get up to speed, I don't think it is anything to worry about.  But, as I said, I have limited knowledge in this area so someone else that really knows can respond.

Best of luck with the new unit.

I am assuming  that  you are expecting the  viscosity  of the oil  to go down  when it is hot . 

Is it  possible to remove  some  oil  before start up and  slowly return it once it  is up to temp?

Or .........maybe  you  just have to much oil in the unit .

Thanks Bill and Gary.

I'm still waiting on the letter from my machinest...between the 2 of us we've been stricken with a local stomach virus...so nothing to report there.

I am unsure the drum can reach speed in under 30 secs...and I don't have oil in it yet...not sure how it will effect rotation.

Will the buoyancy of the drum counter the viscosity drag...I do not know.

Hopefully someone here will have some helpful suggestions.
