2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Made one of these before but I've never been happy with how they fasten together.
New idea trying some of those super strong 1mm thick earth Magnets

Happy with first test

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Very neat. I'll have sheets of .3mm at the WRT.
Have you checked to see what the temp range of those magnets are? I'm sure it's 80 degrees which might be borderline if they're attached to the inside of the cone???

That looks great. Is it Ti or Ali?
Been after some suitable stuff to make one of these for ages. Any chance of selling/posting some of that .3mm sheet, Stu?

If you're not at the WRT then I can send you some, have a work out what you need and let me know.Been after some suitable stuff to make one of these for ages. Any chance of selling/posting some of that .3mm sheet, Stu?

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Cool, thanks. Can't make WRT, I'm in Scotland.
Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Okay so it's a massive fail!
Currie level is too low, I now have non magnetic. Magnets

I managed to get some 0.2mm steel shim from RS through work. I downloaded the template from zen stoves.Pot from R and R backpacking and the lid from fourdog in america. Fits rather nicely in my tangle bag and more than big enough for little old me.

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Is that the 400ml Evernew mug you are using ?
Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Yes that's the one. Annoyingly it doesn't come with a lid though.
Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
I went with the 550ml version for that very reason, to get a lid (ah simple pleasures)

That titanium foil link looks interesting. Anyone got any/can comment on how suitable it looks?

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
At 0.05mm it's pretty (very) thin so probably wouldn't support a pot if made into a cone. I've got a Ti windshield in the workshop in the same thickness and the greatest difficulty is preventing it from blowing awayThat titanium foil link looks interesting. Anyone got any/can comment on how suitable it looks?

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Thanks Stu. I read you had some Alu foil that might be good for making a Flissure? Got any left?
I still need to print out a template to see what size I need but fancied trying to make a small one for my 450ml mug. I saw Iain's first attempt melted so want to make sure it's the right thickness. It's to go with my 8g stove.

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
I'm expecting some more to land next week. It's 0.3mm thick, won't burn but's still easy enough to work with ... give me a shout.I read you had some Alu foil that might be good for making a Flissure? Got any left?
Just remember the 8g is designed to work with the mug directly on top, so any cone only needs to act as a windshield rather than a combined shield / pot support.It's to go with my 8g stove.

Could you get away with thinner material for the 8g stove, as it doesn't put out quite so much flame as the one that burnt through my 0.15mm foil?Just remember the 8g is designed to work with the mug directly on top, so any cone only needs to act as a windshield rather than a combined shield / pot support.
Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Also, I note the Titanium Goat foil is 0.005" (0.127mm) thick, so thicker than the eBay stuff. I'll order some and see what it's like. My 0.25mm alloy is looking a bit tatty anyway.

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Don't know, did you get it from me? If you did it'll be either 0.2mm or 0.3mm ... I only ever have 0.2mm and 0.3mm but prefer the thicker of the two.Is that the same stuff I used?
If all you require is a windshield, then the stuff from Ti Goat would be great.

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Wasn't it the other way around? (or at least I sent you details of what it was that Matt and I used...)s8tannorm wrote:Don't know, did you get it from me?Is that the same stuff I used?

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Ahh, I remember now ... yes, you did give me the details but no, this stuff's different. I think what you had was the same as used for making printing plates?Wasn't it the other way around? (or at least I sent you details of what it was that Matt and I used...)

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
Yes, that's the stuff.
I've ordered my titanium goat foil, so we'll see what I can do with it later this month.

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
I was planning to run it with a small gap (0.5cm) would this work ok? I'm still getting issues with putting the flame out when I put the mug on (admittedly usually in crappy conditions). It seems to burn fine when it's just sitting inside the windshield. I've used the pattern you sent with the stove for the windshield so I think there are enough air holes.Just remember the 8g is designed to work with the mug directly on top
I figured a half cm gap would stop that and help with uneven ground when the mug doesn't sit well on the stove as it's so small. If it won't work with a gap I'll maybe need to rethink.

Re: 2 Part Cone Windshield - Prototype
It'll still work with an air gap but the internal pressure will drop, so the flames from the jets will reduce in size. Also because the fuel is now burning in the stove and outside it'll use more fuel. Try and make any air gap as small as possible.I was planning to run it with a small gap (0.5cm) would this work ok?

With regard to the stove going out, it's usually either putting the mug on a little too early or thinking that the thing's gone out when it hasn't ... there's a massive reduction in flame size when you first introduce the mug, which can often make it appear that the stove's out.

Glad I asked, thanks.
