bloody hell, I can only imagine! I inflate my bicycle tyres to 90-100PSI and that takes some pumping! Guess it doesn't push out as much pressure as yours though

Each pump is a very small amount of air - it is a three stage pump and force is required and air is driven on both the up AND down pump. There is a fat outer cylinder, looks like the diameter of a typical bike pump... but the inner tube that has the plunger that pushes air into the tank is pencil-thin and the plunger in that is maybe 1/8" diameter. The outer tube does some pre-compression before passing the air to the inner high pressure tube.

I guess this creates mechanical advantage hydraulic style... once I get around 4000 psi I barely weigh enough (175 lbs) to depress the handle... the tanks can hold up to 4500 psi but I would have to gain 50 pounds to reach those pressures. I fear if I keep this up I will destroy my wrist joints. So a compressor is on the way. Maintenance of this compressor will be an adventure in itself. Inexpensive... so maintenance will be ongoing.

I have a few drone enthusiasts where I am at. I live in a country town and alhamdulillah we have vast open fields. So ideal for drones. I am not into it personally but I enjoy seeing my folks flying them.

it is an exhilarating experience if you ever find yourself wanting to try something different that is thrilling but not risking personal injury. The fun way to fly them, with VR goggles on, becomes very intuitive after you learn how to fly. There are flights simulators that truly work to train you so that the first time you take out an actual drone you don't lose it. I actually spent many months training on a flight simulator last winter to try to learn a complex type of flying (full manual mode without the typical autopilot help built in to toy drones) and was able to apply that to a physical drone. It was interesting experiencing the efficacy of the sim. Basically i built up all of my "muscle memory" and knee-jerk reactions to perilous situations in the simulator. Then flying under normal conditions with a physical drone didn't seem so hard and when (inevitably) I got into difficult flying situations I had some memory and experience to draw on. I actually got the sim via STEAM and I can plug my transmitter right into my computer and practice on the same controller hardware. Goooood times.

That is some AI for sure. I never got into it but just the thrill of watching it is fantastic. I am hoping soon we would be able to fly oud oils and sample vials to each other. The technology is there. it's a matter of perfecting it and taking care of traffic control.
 
The inexpensive sandalwood oil from India has arrived. It is goooood! 🙂
 
It's an aluminum bottle full of oil... what good would a pic do?

Edit: the terse reply above seems rude in retrospect, but in all seriousness I don't think yet another pic of a liquid in a bottle will add anything. Don't be alarmed if it says "shamama attar" on the bottle...

Grandawood sinensis co2 smells exactly like imperial oud's sinensis extracts and I can't honestly say that I find it completely appealing. Very full fuzzy smell, not clean and refined, too much plain wood, smell does not develop well. I believe there are some people really like this type of fragrance but for me it's just mediocre at best

Never had an oil arrive in an aluminum bottle....so I understand now why a picture would be useless..
I find pictures to be of benefit to me when researching an oil......as long as it is not doctored.....too much.
 
Fair enough and whatever makes you happy is all that matters.

I guess if the color was really weird it might let you know it was fake?

@Mr.P
No.
But sometimes when you see a picture of an oil...you realize you have seen it some where else before.....and that makes me suspicious of what ever is wrote around the picture....Fraudsters can be lazy and a picture can give them away.....I don't care how nice the picture looks....

@NinjaRobb sent the parcel in late November.......I watched it tracking wise. It literally went around the whole of Russia...:Roflmao::Roflmao:

Subhanallah. The musk must have picked up some other fragrances around the world...

Indian sandalwood at PO ready for pick up! Just 6 days from ordering from India to my hand. And when I order from EO in Jordan, same time frame, or even less. Order from the U.S. or Canada, and still nothing here. Heck, I have 6 things coming from Canada that have not even shipped yet. Maybe the lesson is: Order from overseas? Crazy.
