It is…
Up here its the third most commonly heard language. I grew up listening to Fin spoken in public, and the joke is there are lot of borrow words from English mixed in…
I know an old guy that came from Finland who lives up the road from me. For him its perfectly reasonable to use French words-expressions when swearing because he worked with a lot of french fellows and just assumes we all get what it means…
Its not unique it happens when languages and people mix . I don’t actually speak Fin, but I can tell a lot about whats being said when someone is pissed off.
There is a video posted in another thread in Swedish. I can tell this is NOT Fin with English borrow words or not… A nice Swede could say about anything within ear shot of me and I would not have a clue if he was being rude or not…
I used to play an all text based game based in finland. I knew a few choice words especially when they were talking about me. The norwegians, swedes and finns all spoke like 5 languages but they tended to break out in their native languages when they were having a swear session. Not many americans knew what they were saying. Our second languages are typically french and spanish.
This group was really helpful for me when I designed my charcoal retort, so I wanted to share what I did. So 15 holes around 5/16" diameter worked out pretty well. The ceramic insulation jacket helps to retain heat. The chimney in the back improves combusion. Cook time is around 2 hours.
Welcome Alex. What’s your locale and what do you do with that charcoal. From the looks of your wood pile you are pretty serious about it. Good to see someone here with a sense of style. Looks like skate boarder shoes.
Welcome to the public side of the DOW Alex.
It takes boldness and courage to show works in development.
Fellows watch his short videos to really see his system.
Your cut stacked wood and the cut slope terrace you work on shows a lot of dedication.
Ha! Ha! Footwear style? I wear tight laced up leather boots year around due to 1971 car wrecked ankles. Keeps me up on my feet moving, and walking, doing.
A fellow does what a fellow does. For his own reasons.
Some fellows wear cargo shorts year around. Brrr! Not me. Only when I bicycled for distance a lot.
Hi Al,
It´s been hard, my office closed and selling it but no one to buy. No gas,nor gasoline, nor gasoil. Black outs even for days, but me and wife still survive. We moved definitly to the farm and it´s four years now without moveing from the farm. Has a phicisian I still see patients and it helps home economy, specially with the pandemic. All eleven siblings out of the country, two in the USA, they want us to leave but we have invested over 500k dollars in 45 years and it´s to hard to leave it all and flea.
Like the song says: I will survive…
Thank you for takeing us in care.
You have a friend here, big embrace latin stile.
I continue the Prayers to His Name YEHOVAH All Might God
To watch over you all. May He continue to Bless You for what you are doing there. Be Safe in God Word Name Yesuha.
Bob
As like everyone else, very good to hear from you. My thoughts are of you very often. I am afraid that our country is being put on the slippery slope that your country went down. TomC
Abner,
I’ve been thinking how to respond to what you have been dealing with. You have at least had the means to cope so far, thank God. What about those who had little to begin with. Take that away and what is left. I hope the situation in your country turns around for the better soon.
Kyle,
The flute nozzle works well for me in my Toyota Corolla (see project). A long pipe nipple with cap on the end screws right into the floor flange where the original SimpleFire straight pipe nipple nozzle was located. I used a schedule 80 steam pipe nipple (has a thicker wall than regular black iron pipe) and spaced half inch holes about 2 plus inches apart in a line and installed so the holes face up toward the gas outlet. The number and size of holes would vary with the engine size. Presumably the mass of metal absorbs and disperses the intense heat to keep it from melting. A twist on this idea is using a pipe cap with three or four holes drilled in it mounted so the holes are facing up toward the gas outlet. Kristijan Leitinger came up with the flute nozzle using it in a couple of his earlier charcoal projects on DOW.
Another idea has met with considerable success—a Hexoloy Silicon Carbide tube seems to be able to take the heat well. Dave & Brian have done endurance testing of the Hexaloy nozzle. Check our their work on DOW.
I was going to mention the hexoloy tubes but Steve beat me to it. Dave recommended them to me and he has been using one for I think four or five years. I have been using one in one of my gasifiers for well over a year with no damage. It will fit inside an inch and a half bushing or an inch and a half coupling if you first grind out the threads. I also have a simple fire with the pipe cap Steve mentioned, however I don’t have a lot of hours on that unit but it seems to be holding up well. The Hexoloy has to be mounted inside the pipe fitting, not over it. I have ordered multiple times from the guy in the link and he has always shipped immediately.
