At this point I need to remake the center shaft because it is not perfectly straight. It got warped when I welded it. I need a more powerful power supply for the motor. I want to make the top bearing have less friction. And I want to make the rubber bearing mounts stiffer. The two main problems it had were it vibrated and it didn’t have enough power to get up to speed. I had hoped it would work better than it did, but I still have hope of it being a success. I see light at the end of the tunnel. I have all reason to think it will be a success. Hopefully next time I’ll have it working.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.green-trust.org/TBB/uploaded_images/centrifuge-9-28-07-010-770007.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.green-trust.org/TBB/uploaded_images/centrifuge-9-28-07-010-769994.jpg" border="0" /></a>Melvin Martinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449098033682651962noreply@blogger.com
