Easy Tumbler Separator
Hey guys. Back when I went trawling through the tumbler thread and people were talking about keeping multiple blades from bumping into each other I was hanging a picture in the bathroom, but I slipped and hit my head on the toilet. When I woke up I had a vision:
er...that is, I was sitting at my computer and had an idea. Maybe someone's already done it but I haven't seen anything like it yet.
It's basically just a cardboard fan that compartmentalizes the bowl. One blade per section and they should never come close to each other. The circulating media push against each blade so that it actually spins slowly and doesn't seem to mess up the tumbling at all.
This is just a crude one I chopped out of a beef box, but it's been working for a few days now. Once the tail of a blade pointed up and got stuck in the vented tumbler lid but apart from that no issues.Last edited by Goggles; 08-04-2011 at 02:13 AM. Reason: Hit the "post" button too early.
