View Full Version : Hot new audio foo?
“Would anyone be interested in my DVD- and Blu-Ray rewinder? The bit domains in a disc eventually become skewed by being spun in only one direction during playback, which increases the amount of error correction alarmingly. My rewinder spins the disc backwards, but only after applying a gradual, and acceleration-limited ramp up to approximately 60,000 rpm. After only 12 days, your disc is completely re-aligned and ready to be played once more. The 20 HP rewind motor and associated gearing are no louder than a weed whacker, and more than adequate cooling is afforded by connecting a garden hose to the heat exchanger port. The entire unit is smaller than a Bridgeport milling machine. Plus, there's no special power requirement: the rewinder runs on 480v triple phase, found everywhere. Rewinding after every use is recommended, and for best results, the disc axis of rotation must be kept pointing at Polaris using the optional equatorial rewinder mount, that is shipped in its own 8 foot, road-ready trailer.”

Are you crowdfunding it Gaz? Let me know where and I'm in mate.
This time next year we'll be millionaires. In fact maybe quicker than that.
Limited market potential as it apparently does not do CD format. Extend it to CDs and I'm in.
Is there an early bird discount?

Donations always welcome...
Also have a bridge to sell?
sorry,
been on Pinkfish of late...should have known better.

I had one of these and found that a power feed direct from the power station reduced the time required to 10 days. Sea water also helped with the cooling rate.

I'm in but only if there is a matching disc elevator. It's like a cable elevator but for storing your discs off ground level.

Quite possibly by midday 1st April 2019. :D

As does using graphene fuses (30A rated).

Better off with a circuit breaker ;)

I have been disk rewinding for a number of years utilising a static bike in the cellar.
One disk takes about 20 minutes at full pelt.
I have found green electrical tape for attaching to the wheel the best solution so far.
After treatment the colours are far more vibrant although i would recommend about an hours rest for the wheezing to subside.
Your solution is far more advanced....i commend you!!

This is great news, as a solution to the problem of 'bit slide' has been long overdue!
You may need to put some consideration into our Antipodean Audiophiles as far as the equatorial mount is concerned though, casual alignment with Polaris is not going to work for them?
