Valvular Conduit Project by Pat Kirol

June 2005


I built a model of the valvular conduit using Plexiglas for the flat sides and some copper ribbon bent into the shape of the curved surfaces (including the islands). I seem to remember that the difference in water flow thru the unit varied by only 20~25 %.
