Had an idea while reading this...
Typed Bicycle speedometer into Google and the first site I found was: THIS! Which leaves me with nothing more to say! Except maybe put a small one in a cowling; For the really un-imaginative. What you-all think? |

I have been trying to get more info on the SwiddFlow800 for months now. They never answer e-mails. Can't find a USA distributor either.

a friend of mine is working on this:
http://www.wizdforums.co.uk/showthre...ight=flowmeter The paddle design is available in 1/2" and 1/4" barbed units. He's working on the support electronics (nothing complex) and a board to handle 4 meters at a time. while it doesn't have the fancy-fancy calibration of the swissflow (which if it was 20 euros each I'd be all over it - I need 4 or 5 of them and can't justify 250 euro for it!) Anyway , check out the specs on the swissflow SF800: http://www.swissflow.com/html/800_5.htm Quote:

I think some experimentation with optical mice is in order.

The UK distributor was useless. I just spoke straight to the company in Holland.
BTW as it simply connects to a mobo fan connector, it returns a value to MBM, and hence, to Samurize (see top left crescent: three temps, and the white needle is flow: 1.7 l/min): Nice, huh?

it itself doesn't do HW monitoring but useing values from programs such as motherboad monitor Samurize is just a nice GUI skin to show stats of your system

Yes, but it seems adaptable so we can do an RPM to Flow conversion.
I will email them about some kind of license, link or something. |

the values are being pulled out of Motherboard Monitor(MBM)
that is where the actual data processing is done... unfortunatly MBM is no longer being supported

I can't see why a pressure sensor with a Y-piece wouldn't work.

Definitely love the idea.... currently using the mCubed flowmeters and they themselves cripple flow. An alternative that'd work with the same hardware would be invaluable...

This is a Proteus Industries 200 Series flow meter . The spinning impeller contains magnets at the tips, which generate a current in the coil that is located in the housing of the meter, separated from the chamber. The current, generated in the coil by the Hall effect, is directly proportional to the rotational speed of the impeller, thus being linearly indicative of the flow through the meter. The second half of the flow meter contains all the electronics that interpret the current and convert it to a 0-5VDC analog output. It also contains a relay with an adjustable trip point. I connected the Red Lion DC voltmeter to read the analog output from the flow meter. Also, this model of the meter can be set to scale the readout, and this is how I calibrated the meter to display 100 under normal circamstances. The buzzer is connected externally and is activated when the relay inside the flow meter senses flow that is below a set point. The flow meter is able to output analog voltage signal that is proportional (very linearly) to the flow, and I have calibrated the panel meter to show 100, as in 100 percent, under normal conditions. I can adjust the voltage supplied to the pump through a pot, and the meter mirrors the reduced flow quite nicely, bottoming out at 36%, at which point the relay inside the flow meter trips off another relay that is connected to a loud buzzer, giving a nice warning signal.

This is a Proteus Industries 200 Series flow meter Looks nice, but they want $250+ for it... Not exactly low cost. |

And as for that link to wizd forums... ( http://www.wizdforums.co.uk/showthre...ight=flowmeter )
What he's trying to do has already been done and is commercially available already at low cost... and has been for... er... about 4 years I think (as long as the Innovatek Rev3 waterblock hsa been in existence) - See http://www.webshop-innovatek.de/0000...3e0eac52f.html They also do this one - http://www.webshop-innovatek.de/0000...3b0dc5e17.html and this one - http://www.webshop-innovatek.de/0000...3e0e2802b.html All in the region of 20 euros... ish... and all can be gotten in the US from http://www.highspeedpc.com/ Last edited by Marci; 06-16-2005 at 06:56 AM. |

Jaydee,
Don't know if you gave up on the idea of buying a Swissflow flowmeter or not, but Elfa (www.elfa.se), a European distributor sells it. As for the shipping costs, it's the same story as when i want to buy something from the U.S. |
