Update on Final Project.
After much testing, review, and discussion with various advisers, it has become clear that what we need for our project is a peristaltic pump. This is so for several reasons. One, it can, and will, pump against gravity. Two, it will pump air and can continue running while dry to eject the remainder of the liquid from the tubing. Three, a peristaltic pump isolates the electronics from the liquid, which is much better for our application. So today I caught up with the guys from Omega Engineering to talk to them about their 100 Series. The products looks perfect for our application, but the DC version will take eight weeks to ship!
