On motor at specific time everyday

AI Thread Summary
To automate a motor pump to start at 6 AM and turn off when a water tank reaches a certain level, a combination of a timer and a level controller is needed. The timer can restrict the pump's operation to specific hours, while the level controller will stop the pump when the desired water level is reached. Commercial pumps often have built-in features to prevent running when the exit is blocked. It's important to clarify the specific problem being addressed to ensure the right components are chosen. Proper assembly of these components will fulfill the requirements effectively.

Hi All

I have a requirement where i want my motor pump to start at 6 AM morning and OFF after certain level of my water tank.

I have browsed few links where i found some 555 timers and level controllers, but not able to consolidate them.

Please help me the steps to assemble them in broader view.

Thanks for your expert replies and feedback.

Sure - you want a stop-cock to close the pipe to your tank when it reaches the desired level - commercial pumps will already switch themselves off in the situation the exit is blocked and switch on again when it is clear.

But you don't want the pump running at any old time, so you plug the pump into power through a timer which only allows the pump to switch on for a restricted part of the day.

Both requirements met.
I'm puzzled to figure what problem you are trying to solve this way.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
