The StillDragon User Group YouTube Channel

Moonshine

Hello everyone,

Herewith I proudly present our own StillDragon® User Group YouTube Channel!

The first video shows Lloyd run the 4" Crystal Dragon™ with 9 bubble plates for the very first time:

StillDragon® - 4" Crystal Dragon™ - First Run

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z69gfz5EjLs

May a lot more follow. Enjoy! :)

The plan is to publish worthy videos made by forum members to our own StillDragon® User Group YouTube Channel to have them available from a single place. Right now the only possibility is to make the original video file available to me for download through Dropbox or MS Skydrive, so that I can take care of it.

The advantage is that our channel outranges individual forum members' YouTube accounts, searching for certain videos gets way easier, and videos can be published pretty much anonymously that way (with the forum user's nickname as only reference).

If you want to participate, sign up with Dropbox or any other cloud/filesharing service that allows you to provide such video files for me to download, and share the respective file with me. Additionally you can tell me what your video is all about, a short summary for the video description, and if some in-picture-comments (speech bubbles) are desired.

P.S. Please do not comment here, but in the respective discussion, because I will keep posting updates.

Greetings,

Moonshine - Your Devoted Forum Administrator

@Moonshine and Lloyd Fantastic job! =D>

punkin

That's a great job Lloyd. Best one yet.

Moonshine

Indeed, Lloyd is getting better at this every time he touches the camera. Such videos are a valuable addition in providing product and usage info first hand, it's just so much better to see something in action than just reading about it.

@lloyd how much fluid do you think one plate w/bubble caps holds on the fluid bed? 4" column..

punkin

Absolutely stunning. Great work cap'n and thanks for the editing Moonshine. That's 7.5 litres per hour of aezotrope from a 4" column, i've never heard results as good as that.

captainshooch

Thank you @punkin, I owe it all to everyone in the SD family and thank you @Moonshine for editing and posting.

@Moonshine this is a 4" Crystal Dragon with 4 plates X 3 ProCap36's per plate may want to adjust the video clip title .. cause i think 4 ProCaps per plate will be coming soon...

Too late, once posted it goes out on all our social media channels, would be a pita to change that now, already got indexed. Title is correct as it's 4 bubble plates with ProCaps. If the 4" x 4 ProCap36™ Bubble Plate should become a reality, we'll just call it like that in upcoming videos. ;)

Fantastic stuff. Great to see all your hard work come to fruition mate. Congrats. Who would ever have thought that 2.2l/hr of quality spirit was possible from a 2.5" column before the ProCaps?
