Pneumatic Playground - Week #1

10/20/2016

 

Week #1: Quick Summary

Picture

Simple switch and potentiometer for controlling the valves.
For the first week of pneumatic playground, me and Thierry hooked up a separate balloon, with discrete inflation and deflation. After powering up the pneumatics, we made a couple of circuits to be able to control pulsating the on/off inflation switch. The following week, we'll be actually embedding a series of these valves to a surface so we can play with deformations caused by the balloons on the surface of tensile structures. First a simple switch and then a potential meter. You can view the experiment below:
Below you can see a short video of our experiment and  the grant application I did, trying to get money to make the Proportional Pressure Controller accessible. Click on full screen to be able to properly view it:
