This lab is focused on 3d-printing a single component. We want to put a check valve and a release button in series. Gonna require some 3d modelling!

Concepts:

  • one-way valve with return flow toggle
    • can we use a tesla valve? no, it does not allow controlled return flow. but if used, might be an efficiency catalyst? No, not needed if we hvae a pure check valve.
    • i just need a check value in series with a release valve
  • OPTIONS
    • Ideally, it would have a large chamber - but there is a power vs weight relationship that we need to optimize for our application.
    • At some point, it will become a requirement to know the internal pressure - do we attempt to add a sensor now, or later?
