The diameter of the separator is about 21.5". I assume that's what you're asking.

johns-mpls. The problems forming the curved chamber sides with a clear plastic only arise when acrylic plastic ( Perspex, Plexiglass etc) is used. Acrylic is too hard and notoriously brittle so is not sutable for bendy applications. Retired2's design makes installing any circular wall very easy be it plastic, steel or any other bendy material because of his cunning way of trapping the ends. Fixing screws are not needed. If polycarbonate is used no problems will be encountered. Plastics are far smoother than most other materials so a polycarbonate wall is probably the best solution.
Acrylic is however very good with flat applications as Latham has used it in his build although much more expensive than polycarbonate.

I notice we are getting a lot of very interesting improvements to the Thien top hat yet none are too difficult for the average woodworker. Still inexpensive. Still easy to make. Possibly as effective as a cyclone.
