| 555 astable timer help |
| << < (3/4) > >> |
| m3vuv:
the solenoid valve controls an air valve that controles an actuator thats powered fron compressed gas and delivers 2ml per pulse,looking to use a 6ah sla for the power to the timer and air valve,target is have the bag of chemicals last 8 days ,then swap the sla for a charger one along with the bag,needs to fit just below the top of the manhole so no ba kit is needed to swap the bag etc. |

latest plans. |

Well, this is all going to be a huge undertaking no matter how you slice it. Going around and lifting manhole covers all over town once a week? The pneumatic idea is cute, but do you really need a third expendable to make your life difficult? (1: battery, 2: chemicals) 2ml/10seconds *12hour/24hour * 1 week = 16 gallons. Have you actually tried any of this with a PC as timer, using your valve solution and measuring the current? (16 gallons of water = 60 kg) |

not yet as waiting for the vale to arrive,its all up in the air untill i get some parts to take measurments,the water ppl are pushing to have us get a unit for then to trial in 4 weeks!!,talk about the heat being on. |
