He may have made enough changes to qualify for a patent but you would have to take out worldwide patents and be prepared to defend them in court. Not practical for a pensioner to do for a product with a limited market.Yes it is a long winded site but it was the norm 20 years ago when people had an attention span. It is repetitive because many, possibly like yourself, hop in for a short read of a specific subject and the important repeated information may get taken in so the info is in context. There is a cyclone design spreadsheet free for anyone to use that wants to make their own cyclone that prints out the cut patterns. It sizes it to match the impeller and motor power, the 3hp being a bigger diameter than the 5hp for instance. I'm sure Bill would not object to someone helping him upgrade/modernize/edit his site but I doubt anyone is lining up to do it so it will remain for the most part as is.Don't get me wrong I respect your knowledge and abilities but you are known to spout off your opinions as fact when maybe you should be asking questions and doing a little research.I'm done now as we have got off the topic that started this thread.Pete</blockquote>
