Blast Off!
Started to design the chimney stack, petticoat and blast
nozzle. Used formulas to determine sizing, positioning, etc. Proved one
thing, theory doesn't always work. If I used the formulas, the 1:3 and 1:6
cones would not be in the right position so I threw out the formulas and
repositioned things so the 1:3 and 1:6 cones were in the right spot. I
figured that was more important to get proper draft. Here's a drawing with
the final setup. The GREEN cone is the 1:3 and
the RED Cone is the 1:6 Also included a
drawing of the parts that made up the blast nozzle.

Here's the CAD drawing of the blast nozzle.
In order to make things easy to change, I designed this
thing so I can adjust the height by adding or removing plates. The nozzle
itself can be easily replaced in case I needed to adjust the blast angle,
orifice size, etc. during test runs. I also drilled 4 small holes at a 3
degree inclined angle for the blower.






Well, the next thing is to get the chimney and petticoat
made and installed. Stay tuned.
