To aid in discussions between researchers regarding the Stanley Meyer Demonstration Unit an excel spreadsheet listing standard abbreviations is attached for the major parts needed in demonstration cell replications.
For discussions regarding the tubes I suggest numbering the tubes clockwise starting with the tube nearest the viewer as tube set 1 and to the left of the midline of the of the photo or video clip
.
I suggest that you download the
Demo Abbreviation List.xls. version 8 file to your home computer, then add in whatever measurements, sources, part numbers and comments you have and then upload it the
Demo Cell Replicator thread that Steve has started here at IonizationX under the
Stan Meyers demo cell system heading.
As with any project there may errors of omission or commision. The photogrammetric process is dependent on having clear photos or videos which are sorely lacking for some areas of the Demonstration Unit. A clear top-down view, bottom or a full length close up probably do not exist. Therefore there may be room for interpretation of some areas of construction and measurements.
Also for purposes of discussion use the McMaster part numbers. The part number leads you to exact specifications in their on-line catalog and can be a kind of "esperanto" for the replications. Many parts are, of course, available from alternate sources.

Thus the inner diameter of the bottom o ring BOR is now called BORIDThe the outer diameter o fthe cell housing CH is now called CHODThe outer tube just to left of midline is now called IT1, the inner tube lust to right of midline is now called IT9 saves time in the discussions, of the SMDTR's It's a little more specific
I tried to implement Stan's concept of keep it simple stupid
