I can't believe this was 5 years ago! This was my first contract job at #Chapmanuniversity for @fudgelab.bsky.social. I worked on a #BRUV Baited Remote Underwater Video system. My contribution was the frame. Worked way better than the previous system which flipped over a lot.

This #flowtank is almost entirely #acrylic. I used to make these out of PVC pipe fittings with just the working section from acrylic. The motor is a smooth DC with integrated power supply for 110V and 220V operation. available here: www.ironvines.net/scientific-e...

I make this #couettetaylor flow demo device. It uses #cornsyrup and dye to show the properties of Couette Taylor flow for #classroom #demonstrations of #fluiddynamics for #lowreynolds #fluid #flow it can be ordered here: www.ironvines.net/scientific-e.... I'm including syringes of pre dyed syrup.

A while back I made this fluidized bed demo as a spec project. It is on my online e-commerce site www.ironvines.net/scientific-e.... It is mostly #lasercut #acrylic and PE beads. I'm running it off of a shop air compressor but it should work fine with laboratory air.
