Hydro Differential pressure exchange over unity system.

A couple of quick questions.

Would 2 layers of lightweight fiberglass be sufficient for strength.

Would 4 layers of wax paper be a sufficient air gap and can that be the same on both sides.

I was thinking that the cylindrical components could all be made at the same time by wrapping them around the pod former starting with the former then 4 layers of wax paper then 2 layers of fiberglass and then 4 layers of wax paper,, so on and so forth.

Webby1, I (just me here) think that on a small scale fiberglass has all the strength needed to stand up to the pressures in the system.

As far as using a few layers of wax paper to create the gaps in the annulus (-es?  annulai?), any gap will do, just so long as it is not so small that capillary action takes over (the gap tends to "wick" up water like a sponge).  Ultimately I think too small (but bigger than capillary) a gap will also cause (Reynolds) drag on the exchange cycle.  But in a model, that is okay.  It would just not be the most efficient method for a "production " machine.

FULLY FUNDED doesn't mean anything so why are you using capital letters?

It is significant only that every time that I have seen TK build he has spent his OWN moneys to do so.  I was hoping that he could be teased into performing a build by being reminded (yes he knows) that he gets to build a cool thing without the personal expense of the materials.

I'd take on a build myself but lack the experience of having worked with acrylic and do not have access to a lathe to ensure clean 90 degree cuts to the tubes.

Microcontroller, do you want to try and make a model?

Microcontroller,

You miss the point.  But thank you for telling us all that you could do but will not.

The fact that Mr. Wayne has offered to pay for the build means all those tubes you "have in stock" would not be given for free, right?

I probably should have let you have your say without pointing that out, but, really?  Really?

Who do you thing your are fooling?

if he is willing to pay for the build, he can trust Stefan with the money and over seeing the build.

I have no idea if you know the value of some of our cnc machines, but i do not think these are included in mr wayne's offer.

You are correct.   I am sure you know a lot more than me about this subject. 

I apologize for underestimating your skill level.
