PumpIt!
Novel Non Contact Pumping System
Members: Souritra Garai, Chris Francis*, Praveen Venkatesh***, Satyam Kumar*
Joined the team for fun exploring a new field. We made a centrifugal pump using 3D printer and laser cut parts.
Presented at Ignite, IITGN, 2018
Interesting things
- We realized that the pump was not watertight and constantly dripped water. We plugged it by adding a layer of epoxy.
- The final pump kinda worked, but not amazingly well…
- The end result was a system that was able to pump water without direct contact with the fluid.
