Hi All; Happy New Year

Have just completed a small oscillator using the pins from a UK style 13a 3 pin plug from plans off another website. It runs well enough but needs approx' 45psi to get ticking over. I wondered about the pressure req'd but the originator confirms in his blog that he needed 50psi to get it running, must be something to do with the minute porting dia (1mm) against the volume...? have got some pics of the build but no vid...

Never the less a nice little project for someone starting out...*beer* ...link for the plans..
