    Air Water
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around creating a device that allows water to be contained while also enabling fresh air circulation without spilling. The concept is likened to a cup with a lid, but with a focus on aeration through an air supply inlet. Suggestions include using a check valve to regulate air entry and exploring the possibility of using a small pump or manual air input. The challenge of maintaining air flow while preventing water leakage during vigorous movement is emphasized. Gore-Tex is mentioned as a potential material, though concerns about clogging are noted.

Is this the opposite of an air lock?

I want to make a bag/membrane/lock device that can carry water, yet keep it aerated.

Obviously a cup does this, but I need it to be able to move about vigorously without spilling.

Any ideas what this is called?

Doh!

I mean fresh air (Oxygen) into the watertight container! (not recirculated)
 
Just use a straw to blow air into it from time to time...
 
You could perhaps place a small check valve in the air supply inlet. Depending on how much water the container holds and how it moves during acceleration you may be able to find a check pressure that will allow air to enter with a minimum of over-pressure which then could be supplied by a small pump, your lungs (as suggested), or perhaps by the movement of the container itself.
 
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
