Interesting. In isolation, making the end of the hose smaller with your thumb should not matter (the flow rate should be the same). In practice, it does, because using the thumb affects the flow rate of the system. You'll also learn info on pipe engineering.

Trying out my new I2C-equipped solenoid drivers and ADCs I got for the hydraulic robot. I am ready to control a bajillion valves ... #robotics #hydraulics

Only found four of the partial thread bolts and they were too long, meaning the threaded section started too late.

Slapped the wheel back together with some incorrect bolts for now and wrestled the old leaky inner tube back in just so I can roll the trailer out of the way as I need the tractor.

This took way too long, but on the upside, a lot of junk got sorted in the process.

And some treasure, too. A mountain of bolts, nuts and lock washers, some banjo bolts, a crappy mallet, a fire axe and drill, and a few tractor parts including starter motor, hydraulic pump, two alternators, etc.

The hydraulic pump is a great find, those aren't cheap and it looks in decent shape.

Success #2: I do seem to be able to heat-fuse 3D-printed polypropylene with my polyethylene film. Despite being technically different materials, these are a lot more willing to be friends than PLA and PE. #robotics #hydraulics

First try sealing polyethylene film to a polyethylene tube, and it worked out! Besides matching materials, I needed pressure - the heat gun alone won't do it. Had to use the soldering iron behind aluminum foil. #robotics #hydraulics

Full disclosure, the five-pocket bladder operating this cylinder was very leaky - but good enough that I could demonstrate actuation of the cylinder if I cycled quickly. #robotics #hydraulics

I might have made a breakthrough in 3D fluid bladders. Making accordion folds on the heat-sealer is hard; fusing two pillows in the center (with a hole in the middle) is easy. #robotics #hydraulics

Hydraulic diameter (Hydrology 💧)

The hydraulic diameter, DH, is a commonly used term when handling flow in non-circular tubes and channels. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. When the cross-section is uniform along the tube or channel length, it is defined as D H = 4 A P, {\displaystyle D_{\text{H}}={\frac {4A}{P}},}...

Oh man, this fluid bladder *almost* worked out. I didn't leave enough "seam allowance" below the inlet and couldn't get a good enough seal there. #robotics #hydraulics

I found the time to experiment with different numbers of rollers in my peristaltic pump. My main finding was that my testing methods aren't good enough to detect any clear performance differences, though there probably are some. And 4-rotor has too much friction - stalls easily. #3dPrinting #hydraulics

One of my favourite corners of the internet is hydraulic press interperative dance.
