Radial Appliance Kit
This package includes everything you need to put together your own Radial Appliance. See the page why kits? for more on the value of assembling one’s own Radial Appliance.
The items included are:
- 2 pieces of Carbon Tool Steel, precision machined and drilled with a single hole on the end. The hole is tapped (threaded) and is ready for the binding post to be screwed in.
- Four pieces of graphite. 2 pieces are wide, and two pieces are skinny.
- Two pieces of single strength glass, to go between the two pieces of steel
- Two binding posts, to screw into the steel
- Plenty finely ground activated charcoal
- One powder-coated square brass container
- Sealant to apply over the charcoal
- Red and black wires
- two nickel-silver plates, pre-attached to the wires
- elastic and velcro
- two banana plugs. These are attached to the wires, and facilitate quickly disconnecting the wires from the appliance
You will need a utility knife or exacto knife, a roll of masking tape (genuine 3M masking tape is recommended), and a hot-glue gun (large diameter is best, but small diameter works too).
