Epoxy Balance

A new EpoxyBalance

For ten years, I have worked daily , in my profession, with epoxy resin, thus I know the problems that are inherent to having the imprecise ratio of epoxy and hardner. For this reason I have thought for a long time how to plan a way of getting a balance of high precision epoxy resin.
About five years ago, I used this method and got good results. Recently, I have realized that there may be other ways to improve the method to get a more accurate ratio of epoxy resin and hardner, I found this method to be very convienent.
I have carefully studied two well known physicist, the Potuguese Magellen and the Italian Arleri, using their ideas and theories, I have developed what I consider a good way to arrive at getting a perfect epoxy balance.
The results and method are pictured here along with a discription of how I achieved the balance.

1)	Both arms are telescopic therefore I can change, in a few seconds, the ratio between epoxy resin and hardner
2)	Over the cups there is free space which allows me to work comfortably.
3)	The dishes which support the cups are always in a horizontal position no matter what the inclination of the main arms are.
4)	I can move the cups in any postion on the dishes and the ratio will not change.
5)	To increase the precision, I have installed six steel blades, the two blades in the main beam are of very hard steel and they work on two natural agate stones that are molded so the attrition is minimal, getting precision similar to that of the mechanical balance used in a jewler`s shop.
6)	I can vary the sensibility of the balance as I work, and this is very important, because I can adjust the balance any way I so desire.
7)	Because of the almost absence of attrition the balance had a lot of oscillations (about 70 oscillations), it was precise but was not pratical so I have installed an oil damper, but this created very little attrition, for this reason now I have developed and installed a magnetic damper which not create attrition.
