Team 9 - Endress+Hauser Imagination Station Museum Unit

This project is sponsored by:

The final design features a 50-gallon fish tank that has been modified to house a wave tank, and a overflow splash area. For the wave tank, waves are produced mechanically through a wedge that is moved up and down by the student. This allows for the student to choose the wave height and speed. The waves can be broken up by breakwaters placed in the tank before the splash wall. Above this zone is the Micropilot, which uses radar to measure the height in the wave. Once the water splashes over, it is pumped back into the main part of the tank and through the Picomag flow meter to see the flow speed of the water.
