Curious what I spent on the PSA Oxygen Concentrator project?

So was I! So I made a spreadsheet! With links and everything!

Looks like I came in right around $1300 (not counting a few tools here and there and not counting the hand-truck I commandeered)

That's about the same as a reconditioned 10LPM concentrator from Mountain Glass (and mine is all new components, designed to be repairable, and does about twice the capacity of O2)

I also didn't count shipping, because it depends on where you are. Also, if you're not a shut-in, you can probably buy some of this stuff locally.

That seems like it'll work. And that's not even close to maxing out the oxygen.

I'm actually spiritually sustained by boomers in Tim Henson's insta comments calling him the girl of their dreams.

Just need to get a propane bottle, pressure test the manifold, and it's ready for service!

Hell yeah, it's Trans Rigs Day.
The Drawfee crew are driving across every state currently available in American Truck Simulator on stream to raise money for Trans Lifeline. It was a blast last year, and I look forward to having it on today.

EDIT: They raised like $170k. It was awesome.

I have extremely dangerous copy and paste hotkeys on my mouse and the funniest thing is when I bump my mouse into my keyboard and accidentally paste into a chat window.

Very nearly sent my partner "calcium carbonate" with no context

Parts are beginning to come in for the torch manifold!

The two rows of parts here represent the oxy and fuel manifolds respectively from left to right. The fuel manifold has a pair of needle valves for Bunsen burners. I'm going to use cheap aluminum compressed air manifolds to tie everything together. The outlets are only 1.5" apart, so I'll use short pipe nipples to stand off alternating valves so that they're staggered as shown.

I'm pretty happy with the manifold so far. Waiting for some 3D-printed brackets to mount everything.

That'll do
