I know this thread is old, but this whole thing got me thinking. Could you use an old computer powersupply and hook it up to an controllable computer fan? Or just hook a fan up to your computer and use that? That may be a really cheap method as most everyone has a computer... Just a thought.
So I am new to all of this and have to ask the NOOB question! What are you using the stir plate for? I work in a Bio-Medical Science Building and see lots of these devices made for the "Labbies" here.
If it is something I can make use of, I know I can get one or two as surplus cause many of the labs are re-locating to another building and they have loads of stuff they are not moving.
Thanks for any info.
Salute!
I havent read every post here but I made a stir plate in the DIY fashion. The magnets I used were kidney shaped ones out of a Hard drive. Very powerful. I found that putting 1 magnet in the center of the fan worked but I have yet to get it working with 2 magnets. Just an FYI for anyone having trouble. Also I use a very small stir bar, about 1/2". It can make a funnel in 2l of water though.
Great post Seabee...thanks for the all the insight. I am just about to put mine together... can't wait to fire it up. :rockin:
