BEAST: schematic drawing of machine installation in black box

The "new" name of the beast is du Still. When showing the work to visiting critics, or describing it to chemists in the Chemistry department, I got the same first reaction, "so...you're making moonshine" This is a nice change from the comments I got when first making the steam machine. Back then I got, "so...you're making a bomb". Well, thanks for the positive feedback. I will work that into the project.

I digress.





Above is a schematic drawing for the installation of du Still in the Black Box, Montreal, QC.

The machine is for the most part suspended. The steam wands are not fixed and could be reformed, added or subtracted in length and number. In this way we could play with the position of the floating the steam wands: above peoples heads, or laying it on the ground, and more....
