Hello All
I've been trawling ebay and the used lists for a magnetic stirrer with
2L capacity. The ads don't always specify capacity volumetrically, but
usually give a wattage rating. Any idea how many watts a 2L capacity
stirrer will use so I can shop by that value?
Thanks - JB

Have you considered building your own? You could build any size you
want. Here is a link to several sets of plans:

Finally got a chance to check out that URL. *That* seems like the way
to go. I'll have a whack at it - hell I have most of the parts in my
workshop, except the magnets...
Thanks!!

They're really easy to build. If I can build one then believe me,
anyone can. You'll also save yourself some serious cash which can go
towards more beer.

I used some rectangular magnets that I got from radio shack for about a
buck a piece. Works great, Just make sure you mount it correctly with
super glue or else your stir bar might stand straight up rather than
flat.

If you have an old computer hard drive lying around, you can get a
couple of very strong magnets out of it.
