Great thread! A lot of unique and really useful information! Have to love the oriental styling on the launches. _________________ Richard

...the Japanese design does have a wick, its is just contained inside the copper tubes and doesn't actually burn- it just draws the liquid fuel up into the heated tube to be vaporized.

Thanks! Just built my own version, will post in another thread once I get to build a meths tank for it(out of metal).

No more OT posts from me, I promise.
