You say you you have no flue? How and where does the heat get out?
Kilns need to breath-
Also 50 cubic feet is huge for one burner-It must be a massive one.
How is the heat/flame getting into the sagger?
Is this an updraft or downdraft kiln or no draft?

The burner is the MR100 venturi I purchased from Ward Burner Systems after consulting with them. The fiber is 2" of 6lb. and 1" of 8lb.
It is an updraft kiln, with a flue. I was using the term flue when I should have said chimney. So, I tried a chimney at one point, but generally don't have one. I believe the specs I found suggested a port size of 1 1/2 times the size of the burner and the flue I started with was approximately 4-5 inches by 4-5 inches, but I ended up making it slightly larger and then adjusting the size during firing by draping pieces of fiber over the edges to cut down the size. When firing, I start with the burner inside the firebox during the candling and gradually move the burner to the outside of the kiln to about an inch away. Like I said, I've experimented a lot with the flue and port sizes, but with little effect. I've tried adding a separate port just for extra air as well. Also, the kiln is in two parts, so I can fire using just the top half, which is probably about 10 c.f., which also doesn't seem to affect the overall temp capabilities.
Thanks for your quick responses .

Another inch of fiber wouldn't hurt.
I assume the burner is coming in from the side? I would make the firebox twice as tall for starters. It may be choked off down there. How thick are the fire box walls? They should be two layers of brick thick, 9 inches, with staggered joints so it seals well. A leaky firebox will lose too much heat and screw up the air flow. And put a small target brick right in the middle of the firebox to disperse the flame.
The size of the flue opening will not affect the draft that much, it will only affect the pressure in the kiln. To create the necessary draft you need to have a vertical chimney. This could be made out of wire mesh and fiber, or just a metal tube of some sort. With a fiber shell I imagine you won't be able to set much weight up there, though. The chimney will create a draft that will draw in air through the burner port.

You need to redesign this for a cone 10 kiln if thats what you want from this-more fiber a chimney for draw or not if its a true updraft and maybe another burner..
In a cone 10 kiln you do not move the burner in or out as its fixed in raku you can do do all that.
Check out a few kiln books for some ideas. Cone 10 needs more fiber-3 inches is not enough.
Neil's ideas will get you on the right track.

Feels good.........
Posted 21 December 2012 - 02:50 PM
After the first week over half of mine had gone (and some of the others items too), I did overprice (maybe) one item that I didn't particularly want to part with and it wasn't sold, but it feels good to know that someone was prepared to part with cash for some of my pots. B)src="http://ceramicartsda...ault/cool.gif">
I did however discover one possible reason for the unsold item previously mentioned - it had been displayed upside-down!
How could they?
Hopefully you can tell which way is up.

I actually made a similar piece a week ago but someone in the studio chipped a corner off for me so I made another yesterday. Fun form to make, I actually thought about how it could make a cool planter form upside down when I was working on it..
Obviously someone else saw it and thought that too
Posted 23 December 2012 - 02:58 PM
I can see the dilemma. Having the 'points up' even though there is more of the glazed surface exposed, is rather conventional and chunky. Having the 'points down', as feet, has a very interesting center; the piece appears lighter in weight and the exposed clay surface holds far greater interest. The 'points down' orientation is better without the glaze. The entire piece would be far more interesting without a glaze. IMHO
Sometimes I can roll out a slab of clay or chuck a lump on the wheel and have no idea where it's going until it gets there, this piece however was in my head right from the off - but I'm looking at it differently now and I'm going to make another one - but upside down this time - with glaze - but a dry sculptural type glaze rather than something colourful and glossy. Thank you for setting my brain working - it doesn't get too many outings these days.:Dsrc="public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif">
Nice piece, Ayjay! I tend to be drawn to strong clean forms. Good job!
What can I say? From someone with your portfolio that's probably my best Christmas present this year, thank you.
haha nice.

Well, I'm glad I made mine first! :Psrc="http://ceramicartsda...lt/tongue.gif"> It can be very frustrating sharing space with others, I try to be very careful placing works in our damp cupboard, but you can come back a week later and the piece has been shoved into a corner and edges bent or worse. -- but anyway, I've since had another idea for something similar, (well, an upside down one anyway) but thrown.
The guy who set it upside down also thought it was meant for displaying flowers or something similar. It's a little surprising as he makes pots and has the largest collection of pots I've ever seen outside a museum.
Here's a pic of one wall in his house, all the other walls are the same.

"But it does move," said Galileo under his breath.
Posted 25 December 2012 - 11:56 AM
It is a nice pot and it's hard to believe that anyone would display it upside down. It would be nice to see more of your stuff in your profile gallery.
Thank you; it's possible that it's a wind-up (not on my part, but the guy is a bit of a joker), I expect I'll find out in the New Year.
In his defence if he really did display it upside down, he never hand builds anything and only ever throws pots, therefore all his pots have a hole at the top.
I'll try and take some pics soon.

pullmyfoot - Saturday, November 14, 2009 - linkFinally. Im tired of Intel dominance. I havent seen seomthing really exciting from AMD like this in a long time. All the AMD stuff for the last three years have looked skimpy at best. But they really have a lot of stuff coming out. Not only that but it really looks like its going to be competitive this time. Late or not its better than nothing. Better than what theyve been coming out with for the past few years anyways (like that original Phenom bs). Happy to see that they are catching up pretty fast.
Im an AMD fan, but I do admit, its true that AMD is really late. I wouldnt go as far as labling this Intel propaganda....
I wonder what will change now that AMD has an extra $1.25 billion in their pockets. All this would have been in development for a long time and so that cash would have had no effect on it. However perhaps they might take a few more risks now that they have a billion of buffer with possibly more rewarding results. Reply
Zool - Saturday, November 14, 2009 - linkThe GPU will be limited by the memory bandwith anyway until they dont come with a on die framebuffer and higher bandwith cpu memory. I think the main advantage will be the + paralel fp compute power if they can take advantage of the openCL or directcompute. Reply
Zool - Saturday, November 14, 2009 - linkI also want to note that a combined CPU/GPU code that heawyly depend on each other (for example a complex game engine where AI,physics and colision detection would depend on each other and interact) would run several times faster with merged GPU/CPU (with shared higher level caches and same ram pool) than with a stand alone GPU and a CPU(it would crawl on a stand alone gpu and cpu actualy). With GPU comunicating trough pcie buss and with its own memmory the latencies would kill this kind of tasks. Its actualy one of the reasons why nvidias physX just act as a added layer with minimum game code interaction.
The amd-s fusion is actualy a giant leap in this direction (to a real monolithic cpu/gpu). Nvidia doesnt have cpu-s and intel doesnt have a gpu (i doesnt count the GMA series).
There is still one thing thats need to be solved and thats the memory bandwith. With shared memory and the need for the gpu to acts as a real gpu the next generation fusion chips will need ram bandwith
over 100 GB/s (actualy that wouldnt be bad for the cpu part either :)). Reply
duploxxx - Thursday, November 12, 2009 - linkFinal Words
Unfortunately for AMD, 2010 isn't really interesting. The company will have to rely on aggressive pricing and the continued success of its graphics teams to carry it for the next 12 - 18 months.
those are your final words? Indeed there are no new architectures popping-up in 2010 but for the rest I think AMD is really focusing on execution which is very important against mighty INTEL. The laptop refresh is really needed for good competition and what about c32/g34 not important enough, it will close the gab quite a bit on the server platform. Perhaps ask Johan if he doesn´t see this as a big thing happening in the server world, it paves the path to next generation of AMD. Reply

This was three years ago. Talk about execution. Reply
grimpr - Thursday, November 12, 2009 - linkYes, he also forgot to mention that the GPU Core of Llano 1st gen Fusion APU will be leveraged by DirectX11 DirectCompute and OpenCL in constrast to Intels crap IGP GMA successor in Sandy Bridge.
A perfect candidate for Laptops and low priced mainstream desktops. Beefy desktops will reside with Bulldozer 8 cores / 16 threads and ATI's next gen 32nm discreet GPU at probably 8 Teraflops on the X2 Parts considering that Hemlock X2 has 5 Teraflops of Floating Point Power.
Take care.
gost80 - Thursday, November 12, 2009 - linkWait, wait, wait, wait,... 1 billion?
Lets do the math...
GPU transistors = 1B - ~750M (Phenom II X4) = ~<300M
That is only a bit more than a 4550 (~250M). So what I am hearing is, the next-gen, not-yet-released, coming-in-2-years, the-bees-knees, 32nm APU chip has a GPU is about as fast as the lowest end 55nm card you can find?
Wow, I am so impressed... NOT!
I guess this one is just IGP replacement for fusion platform. And if my guess is right, should take about 150 mm^2. Making the price around 80-150, depending on competing intel stuff.
Context: I own AMD stock. Reply
qcmadness - Thursday, November 12, 2009 - linkPropus (AthlonII x4): 300M transistor (with 2 x 64-bit DDR-2 / DDR-3 MC)
RV730 (320SP HD46x0): 514M transistor (with 128-bit DDR-2 / (G)DDR-3 MC)
But I do agree with your 150mm^2 assumption.
(300M x 0.25 + 700M x 0.125) = ~ 160mm^2 Reply
gost80 - Thursday, November 12, 2009 - linkThere is no way they are going to have no L3 cache. With a CPU this small anyway, not having L3 is a disaster. L3 will be small area anyway due to it being denser. I agree, no need for it to be 6M. So I would put the cache range 4-8M. 0M? no way.
Either ways, expect very budget GPU for the time. Reply
gruffi - Monday, April 19, 2010 - linkHere is a die shot of Llano, http://chip-architect.com/news/Llano_comp2.jpg. A 32 nm design with improved Shanghai cores + RV830 class GPU. No L3 cache. Reply
grimpr - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkWhat our dear Anand clearly seems to forget mentioning is that the Llano APU is a 1st gen FUSION product, Deneb CPU Cores + ATI GPU Cores and not the crap IGP on die that Sandy Bridge delivers. Do the math and speculation Anand...
2nd GEN Fusion is Bulldozer Core + Next Gen ATI MIMD GPU Core in 22nm, 2012.
Take care, Anand.
jav6454 - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkAMD keeps throwing tech that is good at thus point, but for me it feels more like catch game to intel. The GPU side seems more advanced but only time will tell.

geok1ng - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkAMD lost the entire HTPC/Netbook wave. There was a time when AMD had the best IGP on the market by almost 2 gens gap, but that IGP didnt come with a low power CPU for pairing. When atom and netbooks arrived AMP could put a low power CPU for battle and still won the benchs thanks to the amazing IGP and chipset of the platform, but there never was something like an AMD Netbook...
Lets face the truth: we have too much CPU performance already on mobile devices- the last great challenge was BluRay playback, an issue that was solved by better IGPs, not by faster CPUs. But if i go shopping at sub 12 inches Notebooks i cant find anything that gives me the graphics performance of 3 years ago for the price i payed at the time: certainly i have dual-core 45nm CPUs to choose from, but the IGPs are a joke.
The great issue with mobile CPUs are drivers , not raw power requirements: most 45nm C2Ds can do sub 1.0v but the deep C state management of windows are crap, thanks to poor CPU driver investments Reply

JimmiG - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkSeriously AMD's road map for 2010 is about as boring as it gets. Some users will appreciate the 6-core CPUs. However, per-core performance will probably be lower than current Quads because of lower clock speeds and lower cache to core ratios. AMD will be forced to compete in the $150 segment and below for all of next year - and do so using chips that are as big and complex as the $999 i7's...
AMD really needs a new micro-architecture. Very high clock speeds, larger caches etc. have made the K10 architecture reasonably competitive with Core 2. However this isn't 2006, this is the end of 2009... Reply
GeorgeH - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkAMD's mobile roadmap (even if they stick to it) is very disappointing; it looks like Intel will barely even have to try to stay on top. Sure AMD's IGPs will be better, but real performance will still come from discrete GPUs. All Intel has to do is make a "good enough" IGP with very low power consumption, enable seamlessly switchable discrete graphics, and boom - AMD's mobile offerings are relegated to the extreme low end for another few years.
As laptops continue to supplant desktops, it looks like AMD will be surrendering even more of the consumer market and mindshare to Intel in the coming years. Reply
fitten - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkI want to hear more about this: "A major focus is going to be improving on one of AMD's biggest weaknesses today: heavily threaded performance.

JACKDRUID - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkAMD is lucky Intel totally flops on IGPs... else they'd be out of business by now due to their inability to compete.
On the other hand, 785/790 chipsets really turned AMD around. Excellent IGP for people who don't do too much gaming (however would like to be able to play some occasional light gaming or favorite older games).
for my next upgrade, I would still go with AMD or NV?? if Intel continues to flop on IGPs. However, if they somehow get a comparable igp, i would switch in no time.
Risforrocket - Monday, November 16, 2009 - linkYou are short sighted. Development takes time. What I look for is ...well, development. Development of something new. Innovation. And that's what I'm seeing at AMD. No, they aren't as big as Intel. And you know, if I was the Intel CEO, I would make sure AMD kept going because I would know that Intel vs AMD makes for a better and more interesting Intel. In fact, you should think of Intel and AMD as working together because in fact they are, if you look at it the way I am. AMD just needs to keep trying. Reply

I understand that this was a roadmap overview type story, but it still seems appropriate to balance that with the real question of whether all this even matters when Intel will be 1 to 2 years ahead. I'm sorry you don't like the facts, but this is AT. Perhaps you should try some religion to protect you from reality instead of reading AT for the next couple years until Intel lets AMD catch up. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkI didn't remove anyone's post :) I believe that's our new Report Post feature working as it's intended :) If a certain number of readers submit reports on a particular post the post is automatically hidden. We implemented that after the silliness that happened with some of the reviews earlier this fall.
I have no problems with people voicing their opinion, it only becomes a problem if we end up with the majority of comments in an article thread being dominated by someone not contributing anything to the discussion.
The new site will help fix a lot of this with post rating and auto hiding, we just needed a stopgap measure until then since we've had issues with a few folks.

yyrkoon - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkAnand . . . perhaps the AMD 2010 priority slide is the one you should have led off with.
If you want a bit of free advice . . . when it comes to roadmaps, or non comparison type reviews. I think it would be best if you just stuck to one item at a time. The reason why should be obvious. We, your readers do not give a rats behind what Intel is doing, when we are reading about an AMD thing. Write an Intel thing later if you must, but leave it out of the AMD article.
Now, I myself like Intel, and AMD in equal measure. So, there is no bias in my case. Well, I take that back. I am biased. I am biased towards the parts/technology that suite me the best in a given time frame.
I for one have in the past given you guys a hard time about being biases towards one company or another. But for the most part, I was just giving a tough time. This time, you surely did it to yourself, and if you did not know what you did was wrong here, you should have. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkHonestly, I did it simply to give readers background. Not everyone keeps up on codenames, I figured the image would augment the text. I didn't have an issue with it being up until it started to derail the discussion thread in the comments. I want this comment section to be useful, it ceases to be that if the discussion isn't on topic.
Personally I don't believe you can read about one company (AMD or Intel) without referencing the other where it makes sense. Ignoring Sandy Bridge and Intel's roadmap while talking about AMD's roadmap for the next two years seems to leave out a major part of the story.
I appreciate the feedback though, I'll keep image order in mind for next time :)
Thanks for the comments :)
Take care,
Anand Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkI personally do not keep up on code names, and to be perfectly honest. I do not care about either AMD's, or Intels roadmaps. Why ? Its not here and now, and things often change, or are just a serious let down by the time they arrive.
Now, with the above said, I still enjoy reading about technology. But if I am reading about say AMD, I do not want the name "Intel" interjected 50 times. I just want the scoop on AMD, and their current technology. If you want to voice your opinion, fine, do it at the end of the article, or in a separate article all together. I can make my own judgement calls.
With all of the above said. You guys at Anandtech do get to talk to the different companies about the various technologies that you write about. This also means that you're more than likely better informed than the rest of us technology Joe's. So I would like to hear your thought absolutely. But not at the expense of another topic. Isolation; keep it separate. Reply
JonnyDough - Thursday, November 19, 2009 - linkIf you don't care about roadmaps why even click the link to read the article? I didn't bother reading the rest of your comment.
I for one care about both. Its interesting to see what tech is supposed to be coming to us. I keep an ear out for specific CPUs, so I know what to compare in the future should I do a build.
I don't know why everyone is whining about the article. Its for our benefit. Free information is free information. I really don't get why people are complaining about the order of pictures and whatnot. Everything said in the article was factual, or stated as opinion. IMO Anand, you did a great job. Reply
SlyNine - Thursday, November 12, 2009 - linkJust like speed is relative, So is how "good" technology is. We cannot really comprehend or gauge where AMD will be at, unless we look at what else is out there.
So I think Anand is right on the money by including it. Oh and I'm a AMD fan. Otho I have a Q6600 right now. Reply
Finally - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkOn AnandTech, this is part of the tradition.
Check the past... you will find many more samples of this kind of behaviour: Title reads "The new Phenom II", the first page shows us the prices and performance of Intel's CPUs - a jorb well done! Reply
whatthehey - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkBitch and moan all you want, but the slide illustrates an important point. AMD is making a big show of announcing the integration of their GPU and CPU, but Intel is already doing that a full year ahead of AMD. The article says as much: " And we'll see it in 2011. Unfortunately that's a bit late." More to the point, there isn't a lot of interest happening from AMD for most of 2010. Sorry I don't have my head
up my assin the sand, but complaining that Anand is telling the truth is childish at best. Take off your AMD fanboi hats and RTFA! Reply
T2k - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkJust STFU already - since you are obviously unable to grasp even the basics of writing any *ARTICLE* (e.g. slides does not illustrate shit here contrary to your lame beliefs), just stop talking about shutting up and remain silent yourself, would'ya? Reply
Maroon - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkI'm pretty sure no AMD slides made it into the last few Intel roadmap/new tech articles. Pretty crappy to do that.
dia - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkIntel are AMD's major competition (apart from AMD themselves). The AMD roadmap once again shows AMD being late in comparison to Intel. This is relevant because it will affect uptake of AMD tech. How does this show bias? It's the freaking truth. If brand loyalty alone were enough to generate sales, AMD would not have been introuble in the first place. The fact is that most consumers will go with what comes first and also look for slight performance advantages, even if the advantage is small.
Your whinging about the mention of upcoming Intel tech in this article shows desperation.

QUite obviously it's you who's head is so far up in the @ss of Anand/Intel that you are unable to understand the very basics of even this kind of fake techno journalism...
...but hey, clowns are clowns, nothing to see here. Reply
formulav8 - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linkI can think of no logical reason to post a Intel propaganda slide on the first page and at the top of the page before showing any AMD propaganda slides which is what this article is entirely based on.
I don't see bios as the reason, but it was definitely a poor decision in my opinion (And obviously others as well). Reply
piesquared - Wednesday, November 11, 2009 - linklol are you serious? Do you think people are that naive to not see this is clearly a propoganda stunt on behave of intel? It's also pretty obvious why you prefer ATi over NV. ;) Reply
