[x] Redo intrinsic spring value calculations
[x] Order springs that fit into the intrinsic k value graph
[x] Redo head loss calculations
[x] Trace complete pressure cycles of manually opening and closing of the ram pump
[ ] Operate the pump for an extended period of time (maybe over a weekend?)

Graphing one cycle of acceleration of driving head:

[ ] Find flow rate when plate closes
[ ] Calculate terminal velocity using Q = v*A
[ ] Calculate time that the plate was closed (when P_wastevalve > P_airchamber)
[ ] Find slope of deceleration after plate closes (a = v_terminal/t) This is assuming that the velocity of water goes to 0 before the plate opens again.
[ ] Modify acceleration input in the code by plugging in the correct v_terminal
[ ] Graph and calculate the volume underneath the deceleration curve

Increase P + decrease I in PID to make it respond faster
