I am new to this forum, but have been around enought to know that this can be a touchy subject, but here is my question...
Is the "Terry Hatfield" version of the cyclone different from the current plans on Bill Pentz's site? According to Pentz's Woodcentral article, the unit built by Terry "significantly upgraded my plans and detail for construction, plus left Terry with a far superior kit. That cyclone has the least resistance of any unit available for hobbyists and some of the best filtering, plus moves more air than any other 3 hp or smaller cyclone available. Moreover, it pushed me into refining my blower designs to make them far easier to build and much more efficient."
If the "Hatfield" version is different, are the modifications discussed/documented somewhere or are they proprietary to Terry and DustEliminator (in case it makes a comeback).
I am really not trying to cause a conflict here. I tried searching the past messages before posting my question, but did not find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
