Home made blue bowl

[Bob Craftsman]

All,

I built a bowl trying to mimic what Sam had done here, I ran the left over ash from panning, here are result, the bowl is cake funnel.

The BB,

Almost finished cleaning the junk from the heavy metals,

I learned the angel and location of the water hose is very critical also water pressure, so valve is a must in this system, plus eventhough I had used mortat pestel to grind the ash, and filter, still I could see poder size along bigger sizes mixed, so a homogenius sizing will improve the performance and control the loss.
Addition of liquid soap is a must.

Will try more experiments tommorow.

for rough seperation, this will work but for fines, i belive the vortex smoothness
created by a tube in the funnel makes the best cleaner (that the blue bowl can give) ..

Good work Sam
Here are 2 pics of my Blue Bowl so you can see where they bring in the water and the slope of the cone to help fine tune what goes out the top.
Maybe use a tall funnel and cut the spout off to get the sloped cone, it might work.

PS. pardon the dust. I haven't used it yet this year.

amazing profit margin 85$ for a fancy angel food cake mold !

Yes those can work, but i beleive a smooth bottom is desireable so there isnt additional catches *(of the wrong kind)? the dream mat guy makes a silcon mat insert for blue bowl which lays on a flat surface ..

A blue bowl (IMO) is just about one of the worst way to try to concentrate bond wires from IC chip ash

I posted about the reason why here ------------

Exactly.... I tried one several years ago and had mixed results. I always found bonding wires in the tailings no matter how slow or fast I fed it.

You obviously are no baker, that is a Bundt cake mold.

did you try running the output of the BB into a small sluice ?

Sorry, no I didn't. I thought about making one, but after days of tinkering with the blue bowl I kind of lost interest in that route....for now.
