HI Ian many thanks for tryin but at least here is some bit of a pic but its just flasing on an off very quickly an you may be right perhaps my drivers do need updateingdoes this work better?
That's mk1 !! mk2 coming next week, i've ordered a couple of diaphragm pumps from amazon (£9 for a pair) to replace the Graupner and some fibreglass wadding. The video is more of a how to make smoke out of scrap, not teaching anyone how to suck eggsVideo works for me as well. I think Chris you might have some drivers that need an up date. Have you tried to watch it directly from You Tube?
As for the smoke machine, yes it puts a good amount of smoke out, but the original unit sends it out in pulses which is more in line with a large motor thumping it out.
A cure I have seen for the Drying out problem is to add a drip tank that constantly drips the oil into the heater unit. Others have found that a different oil works to better effect.
Holy moley!!! You win .HI Terry im sorry to say your vid dont work for me is anybody eles havin trouble tryin to see this vid ? an my steam machine works ok pic below View attachment 416012

That was a interesting video Terry. Of course I was hoping for some real combustion resulting in flames .

No mate , whatever you do do not use the pipe cleaner as an element it will melt!! the pipe cleaners were used to soak up the oil then wrapped around nichrome wireAH HA after about 3mins the vid is now working cheers for that Ian now i'll see whats goin on an it looks like Terry is usein a pipe cleaner isnt he ? an dropping smoke oil onto the heated pipe cleaner am i right ?
