Anyone here know woodworking?
Beautiful work! That Katalox is wild looking stuff. What is that in 2nd pic?
Thank you.
It is a prototype for the cannabis ancillary market. The copper plate has a thermoelectric coupler (peltier device) underneath it. The copper plate gets ice cold which chills a (glass of water). The LED'S which surround the plate are 472nm (blue) which in an environment less than 50° F will kill viruses, bacteria, microorganisms ect. The circuitry includes a timer and thermostat so that blue light exposure is cycled on/off automatically and water temperature is maintained.
Typical UV Blue sterilization at room temperature requires a UV spectrum that damages plastics and and human tissues ~ 200nm. In a cold environment harmless blue light will do the same.
I decided to make a "high end" example for two reasons.
1. I think it captures the attention of the prospective licensee as there is a demand for discrete high end products in the cannabis ancillary market.
2. A cheap mass produced knock off is easier to visualize.
The patent includes several embodiments to include a water pump and filter so that cold water can be circulated and filtered as well. Naturally this would be better in a cheap plastic unit.
My wife thinks I'm crazy as I am a law enforcement officer. But the way I see it a good idea is a good idea. At least I think it is. I suppose one might refer to it as a virus killing gentleman's water pipe armoire. Lol.
At any rate woodworking is very therapeutic for me and with small projects like this expensive hardwoods aren't a big investment. I'll admit it's not totally by hand, I did result to using a circular saw and orbital sander for expediency.
