How to make a terrarium waterfall

It is something you can do in a few hours depending on the materials you use, the size you want to make it, and how long it takes the paint to dry. The biggest challenge is getting yourself a water pump. I used the pump from an inexpensive table top fountain that I purchased in a discount store. I have a selection of water pumps you can buy at the bottom of this page. And, if you prefer to just buy a waterfall I have a page of them here: (terrarium waterfalls)The picture below is the waterfall I make in this tutorial.

The most important thing you are going to need to make a waterfall is of course the waterpump. After the pump a lot of the materials you will need can be improvised and I used insulating foam that comes in sheets. Here is the plastic container I am using to hold the water and the pump. This picture shows the basic layout and concept of the waterfall. Weather Station Wind Speed Sensor Anemometer Spare Part NEW Wind Cups.

Bicycle Speedometer Anemometer

Sigma Sport Targa digital bicycle speedometer -- about US$25 at any bike shop. UPDATE 3-29-2006 ---- We are OUT OF STOCK on the surplus brushless DC motor we used to build this project, and since it's surplus we cannot get any more. You can use a different motor (for example, something salvaged from a dead hard disk drive) because this design depends on the motor only for its bearing -- the internal coils don't factor into the output frequency.

You could also use a standard small bearing, available at most good hardware stores. DanF's Easter Egg Anemometer has been up and flying beautifully for 2 years now. Parts List Digital Bicycle Speedometer -- We used a Sigma Sport Targa because of the peak speed, average, and odometer features. Assembly Cut the PVC pipe reducer off with a hacksaw right at the flange, on the big 2 inch side. Hand Held Anemometer w/ Vane, Wind Gauge. Hand held anemometer with optional wind vane for accurate wind speed measurement for wind sports and storm chasers.

Hand Held Anemometer w/ Vane, Wind Gauge

Simple & Rugged. If you can hold on to it, it will survive above 90m/s (200mph). Hail stone resistance tested to over 12.7mm (0.5 inch) hail. Strong and beautiful carbon fiber handle. Self cleaning lifetime ball bearings. Easter Egg Anemometer. We are OUT OF STOCK on the surplus brushless DC motor we used to build this project, and since it's surplus we cannot get any more.

The resistor and capacitor values listed in the schematic and on the PC board plan depend on using this exact same motor. You can use a different motor (for example, something salvaged from a dead hard disk drive), but many component values will change and you will have to experiment. Another option is to instead build our Bicycle Speedometer Anemometer, because that design depends on the motor only for its bearing -- the internal coils don't factor into the output frequency. Both the Otherpower.com staff and the circuit board designer are currently experimenting with new designs using surplus hard drive motors -- stay tuned, and feel free to ask questions on our Discussion Board. Our homemade anemometer...a fun project! We chose a really neat little brushless DC permanent magnet motor as the basis for our DIY anemometer.
