I'm trying to come up with a system that would just be efficient enough to separate the dust and the husk

程度の副詞

I literally just came back from the hardware store where I got myself some nice

plumbery supplies, which I intend to use to build my own cocoa beans winnowing machine.

They get separated by an upcoming stream of air which blows this way.

The light husks should then fly away right there,  fall into a bowl right here,

and then the heavier bits of nibs should fall  straight down this one into a separate bowl.

And that's when things go according to plans.

So, in the studio there used to be clothing everywhere,

sweatshirt, t-shirt, coats, bags, you name them.

Now with this, it's under control.   Have a look.

And there even more clothing, also kitchen  towels, t-shirts, sweatshirts, stripes,

things, aprons, tablecloths, and special occasions.

beep, beep, beep, mmm, sissh, whirr, clink clink clink.

So at the moment my vacuum is sucking, but  if you do this, and you reverse it, now...

So basically it's not working at the moment.    Let me show you.

This is supposed to be the bowl with nothing but nibs.

Now, this is the bowl where there should be only husk.

As you can probably tell there are nibs - and very few nibs - inside this one.

The vacuum cleaner is way too powerful for this, so I need to come up with an idea to reduce

the airflow to like a gentle breeze.  That's what I need exactly.

we could lower the pressure  by covering or uncovering    holes.

Nord VPN is basically an online service that allows you to get a private, secure access to the Internet.

Using that service, you can enjoy a fast and stable connection everywhere,

I do travel a lot for work  and whenever I do this, I still use Wi-Fi.

I still browse the internet  shopping for stuff that I don't need,

and usually for that I use the Wi-Fi from the airport  or from the hotel or from the train station,

And that's basically where Nord VPN can  come in very handy.

You can picture it as a hack-proof encrypted tunnel, which allows your data to travel very privately.

Thank you Nord VPN for sponsoring this video.

Right, so long story short. I gave it a thorough think,  and basically solved most of my problem.

The machine version 2 -  Let me run you through the way it works.

Here we got the vacuum cleaner/power unit,  which transmits the air flow to this tube.

Now, I've got a few air vents right there that I can open and close to reduce or to increase the air flow.

On top of the contraption I've got this,  which is to prevent the reflux of husks this way.

Instead of having bowls that basically just retains nothing, I'm using bags.

But let me say what happens when I turn it on.

Air comes in, the over-power just comes out,

mixed nibs and husks going down this way.

Gravity will then be pushing down the nibs  and the rest, AKA the husks,

will just go this way and get stuck in this one.  That's the plan at least.

I reckon we need to have a quick check before, obviously,

passing the whole bag through this contraption and committing the unfixable.

Come closer.   It's a very important moment.

So, in this bag, there should be mainly husk,

where in this bag there should be mainly nibs.  This one is heavy for sure.

This one is a bit heavy, too.  So I'm worried about this.

That's what I got at the end.   This is the husk bowl.

And this is the nib bowl and, as you can tell it's very nibby.

I think there are times in life  when you need to be modest.

To me, it's working brilliantly.  So I'm gonna go through the whole bag now.

I wouldn't call it perfect but I would say it's probably 80-85 percent there at the moment.

I would definitely look into having a variable speed  when it comes to the vacuum cleaner.

I think that would allow for a bit of tuning of

catching the tiny bits of nibs versus the big flakes of husk.

I guess in this episode we learned how to roast and how to separate the husk from the nibs.

The next step would be to learn how to ferment beans.

I got no idea on how to do this. I don't even know where I could be finding cocoa pods.

Because I think I need pods to start, but that's the whole beauty of this channel.   You learn as I do.
