Yes thats about it. However, its not as easy as it looks. getting the temperature, the drop and the slope JUST right is an art.

It certainly is far from easy but I also found no success dropping into water(I think that's water on the video) & only succeeded with cooking oil. I was helped greatly by posts by "Floating Chamber" & others who know a lot more than me,if you search this forum there's some informative post

Read through a Russian forum last night.Fasinating. Those guys could survive on the road side. No fancy shot drippers,an old tin with a hole heated with a primus stove. Some of them dismantled batteries and used various parts to mix with roofing lead to get the proper hardness. I know batteries would be dangerous to tinker with but it doesnt seem to stop them. They seem to be very proud of the fact that they can make do with what is available.
