Step 7Give It A Whirl !
After carefully mounting the motor, flywheel and wiring, and testing the basic motor running, place the vortex tube plate against the motor plate and bolt them together with the 1/4 inch bolts and nuts.
The bolted poly plates sit on top of the fondue stand. (make sure you use a well-made heavy-duty stand, as there will be considerable weight on the legs from the water in the tube.)
The disc pack gets put in the tube. I used a long dowel to push down the disc pack suction cup to the bottom and to centre the discs.
Fill a foot or so high with water, and turn on at a low setting to try it out!
Don't try to progress to max speed setting too fast, or the magnetic coupling may be lost, and you will have to start again from 0 rpm. Using the more powerful N52 magnets helps keep the magnetic couple better.
A vortex all the way to the bottom should form within a few seconds if all works well.
