@Wayne,

No problem, it still confuses me at times. Many simple parts forming a complex whole. Which is why it is displaying a lot of unnecessary data, to help keep me straight.

I enjoyed the detailing of your learning quest. During my yesterday morning exercise, seen the last hour of the old Edison movie with Spencer Tracey. He had the same drive, determination and vision as you. When he was trying to complete his hardest vision to create the electric light, the learned naysayers came out in droves, some comparing it to the impossibility of perpetual motion. Sounds familiar. But the natural gas (main lighting source at the time) money baron didn't start abusing his power until his spy's informed him that it worked. Then he started paying off the politicans to fight him every inch of the way. As the same ones are buying off congress today to suppress renewable energy development.

@Artist,
Thanks, much enjoyed your examples.

Regards, Larry

Thanks Larry,
I toured (the extensive tour) Edisons estate - I was amazed at how many of his devices still worked....
I also incorporated his Power naps - when trying to solve complex issues.
What I I think helped Edision - was his relationships with people who could not be "bought out".
Our Success can be directly contributed to our Grass roots support - no one is on Salary - everyone works for the Goal.
Kind of hard to stop a stampede...

Just as an FYI,

I am building a build testbed, to see what I should and should not do and what I need to be careful of.

It is a very small build, 5 inches tall, an outside diameter of approx 2.4 inches and with a 1 inch diameter pod, approx. 1\16 space between things and I am using .008 thick plastic with the ends overlapped and glued.  My spacing is not very good, but it is a practice build made out of scrap material,, Tennis ball tubes


Now that I have the 5 risers not leaking I did something stupid but fun, I put them all inside themselves and filled them up with water and grabbed the inside riser and lifted it up and down.  Watching this allowed me to see an interesting "gear" ratio occurring between the risers, so for a 1\4 inch lift on the 4th riser the inside riser moved up 1 inch.

I remember those days - that was/is  the "New Frontier"
Call it a gear, a lever, a pump - what ever - it is so simple - yet wow.
I used five gallon buckets and PVC pipe with wood plugs in the pipe.
Have fun my friend.

@Webby1. Could you please tell us what type of glue you are using?

For those that want to "roll your own," I've looked at some of the various plastic "films" available at McMaster Carr.  It was very interesting.  Several different types of clear plastics appear to be commercially available in various thicknesses.  Some may be easier to bond into tubes (though clear packing tape should be an option?).

For example, go here:  http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-plastic-film/=ikassw  If you click on polycarbonate on the left you will see that it comes in various thicknesses up to .040" (~1mm).  Unfortunately I don't know how small a bend radius you can expect before it "kinks" or shatters.
