Test flow on different string types #24

Closed rosiekrasnoff closed 5 years ago

rosiekrasnoff commented 6 years ago

Notes from 9/28 meeting with Monroe about testing:

Residence time on a string, how to measure? -Dye at the top, watch how long it takes to get to the bottom -Collecting the water on the string -Weigh suspended string without water, then pump water on it (probably most accurate)

Want more water on the strings to allow for more treatment

Future tests/info to gather/things to calculate: -Distance between strings, webbing -How many strings do we need to treat a certain amount of water? (1L/s?) -How long does the water need to be on a string to get treated?

Spreading with bars? Sloped sides of basin instead of purely vertical? Then pull strings back under the bars

Consider using chains. Chains are used as water spouts and they succeeded in keeping the water on the chain. Try it with very fine chains perhaps with a range of link dimensions. It should be possible to get chains that are not coated with lubricant!
