Sedimentation

ITs working!

It has water!

Today i hooked it all up water and everything to test the pressures and the seals of the pneumatics and the PVC. The test was successful and i found that i need to re-think the float in order to get the most push for the amount of water used.

After we get the switches mounted and the float working i will be able to start to experiment with fish and sediment!

Some Videos of it working

The direction i point is what the outside will look like when the water level goes up and and down in the chamber.

ITs Alive!

Pneumatics meet the Fallengine

The Fallengine was framed in order to support pneumatic switches and valves.
