Thanks Chris. I am using Auto Cad 2014 for the foils, and struts. Nice call! Just as in Blender I had to learn the software myself. (Me, and Ytube anyway). I installed Cad just at the turn of the year in order to design my Ethanol column. Here's a sample of what I was doing there...

I appreciate the advise on Name branding too. That is the very reason I posted this. To help educate my ignorant ass. I can conceive, and build anything. No problem there.
When someone starts applying rules is where I falter, and get Mid-evil. Every word of advice is very important to me. It's like ammo to a soldier.

I thought there was a "Donate" button here. That's our version of a "Like" Button but I guess Skad got rich, and doesn't need it. Saved by the lack of a bell.

Thanks again.

Thank you Sam

Thank you Karl w/ a "K".

008... I knew I had you pegged for a secret agent from the git. (008)
I LOVE the spin on the Shark Tank idea. That IS something I could pull off.
I wonder if they will edit the part where I inform them THEIR SHOW SUCKS, and they are Parasites!

 I know a girl here that was on Price is Right about 10 years ago in Atlantic City.
Her husband was selected, and won a 125.00 watch but lost the rest in a sacrifice trade or some sh**.
Anyway the producers F'd up the following day, and let them back into the studio to fill chairs.
Funny thing is the ENTIRE show was an exact replica of the day before.
There was a woman who was selected, and had the exact same guessing game as my friend saw the day before. She stood up Screaming to the woman the correct prices. The woman saw her, and listened. She wound up winning everything except the final wheel spin, and hugged my friend, and her husband.

She tells me the producers were watching but could do NOTHING to stop her. I love that story.

Thought I would throw this in... It's the same Blender model as in the web page image but in a different "skin".

If any of you have 7-8-9-10 year olds... D'load the program, and let them fly with it. My 27 Y.o. has her kids learning it thru Ytube tutorials.
 I told her I'm gonna need Graphic designers,

That looks like some complex column at least the substrate looks high tech. But the only thing I know about distillery columns is how to calculate theoretical plates; my chem teacher has stories about the one they made that was 4 stories high and poured liquid into it out the dorm window.

GL with that venture. Not too sure what water flow analysis software Electric Boat here in Groton uses for subs but that could come later after the initial prototypes are made and working well.

hTat column is actually a hybrid concentric column. It totals out at 21 theoretical plates at just seven feet, including a 32" tall boiler. The outer column is now designed at 4 Perf plates, and 2, 4" thick structured packing sections. The inner column is also hybrid packed. Its a vapor fed packed/structured packing rectifying column with the outed plated/ packed column as the stripper.
For a hobby style moonshiner it will produce 2.5 gallons an hour at azeotrope (95%). It's technically a 14' tall 4" column running 21 plates

The design is actually a prototype for fuel ethanol columns. Scale up the column/scale up the output... What put this design over the top is it is engineered to run at 24" of vacuum/140*.
Solar heated water in semi tropical climates averages 160*. Basically I designed a shorter column that can run in any semi tropical environment for free. ZERO energy required to distill fuel from plants. The Vacuum is also created/supplied by the circulating heating water. The circulation pump system is also solar/thermo dynamic powered from the heat energy in the water.
You can say I was inspired by Brazil's fuel initiative.
Once fully charged there is ZERO water used for heat. It is all recycled/recirculated.

My goal was to introduce it here in America but upon reflection... Why help the country that lies to us about everything.

On a lighter note... I've seen some water tank results on hydro foils/designs, and I do think I can easily build my own Lexan cylinder tank... Sometime down the road.
Actually tho... The research has all been done. The only break thru's left are in control surfaces, attack angle compensation, and anti pearling or dive control. I already have those sorted.

I got sort of lucky in life. Mechanical issues open up in my mind. I can see around the corners.
The price I pay for it is the fact I can't run a daily life. It is a constant struggle. No matter how much money there is coming in tomorrow. It is always yesterday for me. I work my ASS off just to maintain sanity.

It's just in this past year I began looking at life like a mechanical problem. Things are falling into place.

I really appreciate your taking time to share your thoughts, and input here. Even just ONE response to an idea proves there is a light at the end.
