Welcome to PF.

We can probably help with some conceptual questions if you want. What kind of generator is it? What is the generator type? Approximately what physical size and electrical specs are you shooting for? Have you ever built something like this in the past? What fabrication tools do you have available to build this?
 

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
