    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.
 
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...
Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
