[V12|V12]

Okay, here it is, my FINAL attempt at making this old project Res/Trap work! And I must say, after HOURS and DAYS of waiting for GOOP+Epoxy to dry, the damn thing WORKS and VERY well I might add! I would like to start another one like the one I've previously posted about, but I think I've drained my patience batteries and will have to settle with this one for now... But to get to the pic; the whole idea was to find a way to minimize turbulence around the outlet while not to hamper too much inlet flow rate. The reason I chose the the barrier approach was, basically to stop the "fountain-effect," which in turn, creates MORE air than the Res/Trap can catch.

Problems:

1) In order for the barrier to work properly, there has to be a set amount (maybe 1/2?) of water in the res in order to buffer the incoming flow rate (High!) I've got a little over half and it works.

2) Barrier adds more strain on -->PUMP--HC--CPU--Res/Trap-->

3) If Water drops below set point ("x" ~1/2), MORE bubbles will be created!

Fixes:
1) Heh, if I knew that, I would have done it :P

Conclusion: I think it works nicely, considering there was a TON of bubbles, which were almost completely removed in about a couple minutes! BUT, again, I think with a design modeling Turbo+BigBen's, there wouldn't be a problem of the "fountain-effect, BUT it would take a lot longer to filer out air...? Also, ideally, the contraption should be able to function with as little water in the res as possible (not that I recommend that!) while still filtering out air and NOT creating more... Well best of luck to all of you, hope you learn something/anything for my trials and pretty much LOTS of trouble! haha Bye.
