One last thing.....
If any of you have any access to projectors, please let me know if you would be willing to bring them to the showcase Wednesday evening for companies to borrow while they demo from 7-8 o'clock.

Thanks again,

Dar

Hi guys and gals,
The GCA portfolio showcase will be this Wednesday evening at the incubator.  I would love to see as many of your cool projects on display as possible.  Please let me know if you guys need any special space requirements.  I will be cleaning up the garage this evening so you can start setting up anything you would like. 

Registration (free) for the event can be found here http://spring2010showcase.eventbrite.com/

Thanks,
Dar

Let's make our own roaster. What temp is needed and what kind of fan (how much air flow)?

I have lots of nichrome wire (heater) and a controller for the nichrome. I may have a fan that will work...if not, someone does..

Supplies:
Beans
Heater
Bean holder
fan
power supply
what else???
