@JamesLofty2 @StuartMcLelland @KITKarlsruhe Impressive!

Left, my most recent desktop flow tank for @lam9. On the right the first one I made for @mostnerdy in 2019. They are now all acrylic with just the drain made of pvc. Quiet and clean belt drive. Smooth DC motor. Metal legs with level feet.

@FanlessTech I think I'd want to DIY my own. Heat syphon right?

Flashback to when #Covid started in the US. I worked with hospitals in LA and OC to make Covid intubation boxes. Pictured was the final version which flat packed. It had side access vinyl flaps over openings and a neg. press port. #medicaldevices #design #prototype #volunteer

#flumefriday A couple of weeks ago I completed a motor refit on this flume I made for Dr. Laura Miller at UA. A grid of 16 bidirectional fans create shear currents for fluid dynamics experiments studying insect flight. I designed and build the complete system for Dr Miller.

@ViolenceWorks wait that isn't an ash tray?

@splinedrive @WCH_TECH Got some ch32v003's on the way and one of their bluetooth ch573 boards too!

@IHazRabies @WSJ Factory town, whats that?

[Matthew Snyder @ironvines]

@NanoRaptor Snow White & Memphis mash up goes hard.

[Matthew Snyder @ironvines]

@NXP Sadly it isn't ridable.

[Matthew Snyder @ironvines]

@IHazRabies @Eve6 It just looks like cosplay. There are no kids messing everything up.

I repaired this Flume a while back at UNC Chapel Hill. Spliced the fiberglass pipe in 3 places and completely rebuilt the 2' by 2' by 16' working section out of acrylic.

Just got back from a vintage 4WD trip. Vehicles are all supposed to be pre 1975. a few newer ones slipped through. I got to ride in an old CJ5 no seatbelts or windshield. #cj5 #4wd #vintage4wd #jeep

@heckmanatee It is chemical not nuclear so maybe Bhopal Lite.

@Raspberry_Pi I don't know when that was said but it isn't true anymore. Exactly 20 years ago I was using the Teleo multi-io board from MakingThings based in San Francisco. programing in MAX/MSP and super easy to use. The issue was that it was expensive and only worked tethered to a computer.

Flumes don't have be water right? Here is my viscous fluid flowtank running with corn syrup. Great for scaling experiments in low Reynolds numbers. Can run fluid viscosity up to 20,000 cps with minimal pulsation #flumefriday #physics #science #flowtank
