cost to run tumbler - 11/17/2008 8:38:50 AM    wedigforyou Posts: 180 Joined: 7/29/2007 Status: offline Stardust, hard to give a "per bottle" increase in electricity.  We have a motor that 's intended to be used for a large air conditioning unit on our tumbler.  Because of that we also have to run a breeze box fan aside of it as it's intended to have "air over" to keep it cooler.  Note, not all motors need this. We've hardly noticed an increase in our electric bill and it runs 24/7. We're running 3 canisters at a time and could probably expand on that.  This is not a cheap hobby. We have $750.00 into it so far. Everyone advised us to just buy a set up from Jar Doctor and boy were they right! We would have saved ourselves much aggravation, trial and error if we'd done that.

The old store in Fredericksburg VA they had a butter churn that was powered by a dog treadmill. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to wedigforyou) Post #: 25

RE: cost to run tumbler - 11/17/2008 11:09:03 AM    bottlediger Posts: 2367 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline its very easy to figure out how much electric your motor is using perday per month or per year if you are running it 24/7 like I am. If you look at the motor tag all should have it look at the amps and volts you multiple those to get watts and you have to check out your eletric bill to see how much they charge you per KWH Digger Ry _____________________________ Professional Tumbling Services Digger Ry Style My Tumbling Page (in reply to buzzkutt033) Post #: 27

RE: cost to run tumbler - 11/17/2008 5:12:46 PM    Stardust Posts: 3653 Joined: 10/5/2007 From: Boston, MA ~ ; ) Status: offline Thanks all you kind bottle members for taking the time to give me some info. I was just checking in before I check out of here for a while not sure when or if I'll be back again. That' up to God... Thought it was today that I would be gone. Everything is day by day and you just never know what is going to happen to you and where your going to end up. I wish you all happy digging. I dream of being a little girl digging in the woods behind my house pulling out all kinds of goodies..... I hope one day I'll be back there doing the same thing only now I'll now what I'm pulling out and maybe one day have one of those machines and a good bottle man at my side. A girl's gotta dream doesn't she? Yep,I'm a dreamer... Happy Bottles to you all...Most of all be Happy, and live in Peace. star < Message edited by Stardust -- 11/17/2008 5:15:09 PM > _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9vBsIQ2_Ic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okKWzl3jCrM *´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·' * Stardust.·´ (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 31
