SG T-Type (Internal mix)



materials needed for build:
2. Attach SG T T-Type to the water to post and measure angle. 3. Connect air source and water source. 4.record humidity and air temperature. 5. open valve to start internal mix of air pressure and water. 6. record production time once snow is developing ||
 * 1) ¼” cap - QTY 1
 * 2) 6” x nipple - QTY 1
 * 3) ¼” x Tee - QTY 1
 * 4) ¼” x 90 DEG street elbow - QTY 1
 * 5) ¼” close nipple - QTY 1
 * 6) ¼” mini ball valve - QTY 1
 * 7) 2” x nipple - QTY 1
 * 8) ¼”female x ½”male bushing - QTY 1
 * 9) ½”female to Garden - QTY 1
 * 10) Quick connect air fitting
 * 11) 7/64 drill bit
 * 12) One roll of Teflon tape ||
 * Procedure || 1. Setup equipment to preform the experiment outside
 * Safety Information and Chemicals needed || We will need a water source that with a hose can reach outside. An air compressor or a pressure washer. A microscope with a camera attached to it to capture the snow flakes. A Light absorbing surface that snow flakes can land on. A thermometer and a humidity sensor. ||
 * Other Information || *very Cheap to build
 * a great solution for snow-less Minnesota winters ||
