1 Presented By: Aaron Goodwin Mike Pyrkosz April 15, 2004 Aquarium Wave Generator Project # 589-04A

2 Water movement is one of the most important requirements for coral health 90 gallon tank shown

3 Water movement is important Most are sessile animals (attached to rocks) Moves food past them for capture Removes waste and allows respiration to occur Photosynthesis and calcification rates increase

4 Basic Design Rotational Diverting Valve Single inlet Alternating outlets Low geared motor drive Single pump allowed to run continuously

5 Plumbing Schematic Pump Outlet (2 Places) Magnetic Drive Pump Diverting Valve Pump Intake

6 Design Revisions Simplify Machining User Friendly –O-ring seal –Disassembly for cleaning Adjustable Motor Speed/Mounting Ease of Installation

7 Technical Analysis O-ring Selection Flow Energy losses – Pump-Outlet Removable Submerged Jet Manifolds (Spray Bars)

8 Test Plan Visual Flow Indicators: (Streamers, Neutrally buoyant dyes, etc.) Measure In-tank Flow Velocity Submerged Jet Manifold Location Measure Noise Level

9 Problems? Possible O-Ring Failure Gaps around Cylinder at closed position Verify theoretical Concept

10 Progress to Date Actual 2/28/04 3/16/04 4/5/04 In progress Project Phase Prototype Design Material Acquisition Fabrication (revised) Testing (revised) Schedule 1/15/04 1/30/04 3/22/04 3/27/04

11 Budget Original Estimate: $1,315 Current Expenditures: $1,484 Amount Over: $ 169 Cost of Production Model: $ 2

12 Question?
