    Can a Heron Fountain Design Achieve Water Equalization Without Perpetual Motion?

    First off, sorry my picture is terrible it was just a quick sketch. Resetting the system involves moving water from the air chamber to the water chamber. Your diagram puts a tall air chamber next to the water chamber (on a lower step so the bottom starts out lower). You have valves to...

    Can a Heron Fountain Design Achieve Water Equalization Without Perpetual Motion?

    Actually. I think moving the outer ball valves to the bottom of the cylinders makes the most sense. This way, when you close those you effectively cut off the rest of the system from the two cylinders and opening the valve between them would force the two cylinders to an equilibrium height. You...

    Can a Heron Fountain Design Achieve Water Equalization Without Perpetual Motion?

    The cylinder on the right fills up, the one on the left empties. The cylinder on the right will continue to raise above the level of the water in the cylinder on the left because of the total head created by the outer tube... Opening the valve in between lowers the water on the right and...

    Rope Climbing Device: Design, Speed & Overall Tips

    Use a screw like design. A female threaded cylinder that fits around the rope at the bottom, and screw your way up the rope! You'll have to creatively attach your motor and turn the device but I bet you could figure that out. Another option I can think of off hand is a rack and pinion like...

    Can a Heron Fountain Design Achieve Water Equalization Without Perpetual Motion?

    Let me start off by saying I know it is not perpetual motion. I understand this. I was thinking about the fountain and was wondering if this arrangement would allow you to equalize the compartments and begin the process again, without having to flip the water compartments or pumping it up to the...

    How do i identify an unknown gas knowing very little

    b]1. Homework Statement [/b] I have to design a procedure to figure out what an unknown gas inside a syringe of known volume is. We are also given pressure transducers and have software(labview) that will allow us to graph voltage created by changing the volume of the syringe. I have no clue...
