I'm sorry if I'm not explaining things clearly. Both colors won't be used in the same plates of glass, but rather, in different ones. Just forget about the colors; they won't be a factor. 😅

Well! Inspired by your suggestion, I just spent a few hours falling down the rabbit hole of the technology behind artificial hearts. I had no idea that so many different kinds of pumps have been tried, including an Archimedes' screw (still searching for a photo or diagram of that one)! Re...

Thanks for the welcome, Lnewqban! I'm not averse to separating the glass spheres from the fluid (and I presume that could be fairly easily accomplished with sieves), but I can't figure out a way to move the spheres to the opposite end of the windows to make their journeys through them again...

Some very interesting ideas, there. Thanks! Soft rubber flap valves seem to me to be a very good idea for preventing backflow, regardless of what kind of pump I decide to go with. Thank you for that! I had toyed with the idea of separating the glass spheres from the fluid for more precise...

Thank you for the response! 1. The desired flow rate will be low. Perhaps it would help if I explained the actual point of the project: I am making a set of windows for a chapel. I think of them as being sort of "kinetic stained glass", although that's probably more confusing than...

Hello -- I am working on a project where I need to recirculate a fluid which has a large quantity of glass spheres of say, 1mm diameter suspended in it, but without the pump crushing the spheres. I would appreciate any advice. To give a simple description of the desired function: it will be a...
