Planned Forum Outage – Wednesday 11 December
Dear Unregistered,
As part of planned upgrade work, the YBW forum will be temporarily offline on Wednesday 11 December from 9am.
We expect that the work will be complete by 5pm, in the meantime, why not have a flick through our
YouTube channel
.
This work is part of a move to a new forum platform called Xenforo, which should be easier to use and more reliable, with more regular updates to fix bugs.
Thanks for your patience,
-Chris [YBW admin]

Condensation?

I wonder if there would be any mileage in a desiccant dehumidifier that spun the collected water out rather than heating it out?

Oh yes it is! I have machined many components in it and, believe me, you don't drop it! (I have to admit they were thin sections but not that thin.)
