Another WaterFall Reservoir

btarunr · Apr 9, 2008

How could bong cooling be effective in a closed environment as in a sealed reservoir box? :wtf:

For the bong cooling effect, the fluid should expose to an open heat exchange such as the air in the room so dispersed water exchange heat with the air, and a direct contact between the water particles and the air outside (which also jacks up humidity)., don't expect the acrylic shell to do that.

I was replying to someone in the previous page who thought that waterfall box provides some sort of bong-cooling effect.

You could stick a sheet of kitchen-foil to the base-plate of the reservoir from the outside, it would give a groovy reflective effect to the lighting. If you're placing the cathodes below the reservoir, try to improvize the same on the plate with the holes for the tubing (back plate) instead.

Yeah man crinkled foil would do the trick...

I simply adhere the lamps to the res..nothing to it.

The vids are a little deceptive because you only will see the front panel...not the side...so the effect of the lights is indirect and very pleasant...and of course there is always the off switch...

btarunr · Apr 10, 2008

A reflection provided from behind the waterfall provides better coloring to the falling water than if the cathodes were just placed below it. Sort of like the coloured fountains you have in amusement parks.

Dude

I have a 32 pound box of lasercut parts sitting on my porch

enough for 13 reservoirs :rockout:

Cold Storm · Apr 18, 2008

Oh I so want one from ya! I would love to have something like that be sitting on my door step!

t_ski · Apr 18, 2008

Nice work. The question I have is does this make a lot of noise? It's hard to tell from the youtube videos with the music...

BTW, your musical tastes are about as eclectic as mine... :toast:

CyberDruid · Apr 18, 2008

It's not loud. The fluid doesn't gush or splash really.

thoughtdisorder · Apr 18, 2008

Fantastic work! You obviously have a gift! :toast:

DaMulta · Apr 19, 2008

t_ski should review one

DaMulta · Apr 19, 2008

You think I'm kidding don't yea

t_ski · Apr 19, 2008

No, I know you're serious. That's why your avatar says "Serious Business."

DaMulta · Apr 19, 2008

You have to admit T this is one of the coolest things in a while!!!!

I havnt had the time or wants to build one myself......

t_ski · Apr 19, 2008

I think if there was a dual-bay version, a lot more people would be interested.

CyberDruid · Apr 19, 2008

Not according to the poll....

the #'s dont lie

Exavier · Apr 19, 2008

so if you're ready to start doing this on a wider scale...what sort of price could you derive from the costs you've started?

three-bay

please haha

CyberDruid · Apr 19, 2008

When I get a few assembled this weekend I will be adding them to the online catalog.

I will be asking $100 for the Three Bay. I will have a two bay cut soon. I want to see how these move first.

Exavier · Apr 19, 2008

hmm...with shipping + customs ripoff :shadedshu I'd be paying nearer to $160
..cry..
if you make some three-bay models, can you weigh it for me? I can evaluate shipping better, might be less, charge was based off my Corsair HX620

This is coming far from the original custom-order methodology...props, CD

CyberDruid · Apr 20, 2008

I think it can be shipped for $27 express international. It only weighs about a pound.

IF (and this is a big if) I can start moving these through my favorite Vendors (like Petras, Performance PCs, JAB, FrozenCPU etc...) The price will drop due to the volume. There is a $100 set up fee for each run. And I only had them cut as many as possible from a single 4' x 8' sheet because I want to see how they sell. If I see a real market I can increase the number per run and decrease my cost.

lol I didn't know there was a poll! Wise business decision

...

I haven't seem one and am not sure if the idea has been suggested. Why not build the waterfall res into the window panel?

a long wide fall with a viewing section sealed off with in the fall somewhere...
