Building a Synchronized Oscillatory System

Customary fluidic device designed by Team Wageningen UR to measure oscillations

Some fun facts about the device

  • Getting the chambre watertight was a lot trickier than expected and many creative ideas came up:

  • In the end silicone glue used for sealing aquariums solved the problem.
  • The tubing and valves used for the final setup of the device were bought at a local pet store.
  • During the first measurements, someone had to run to the microscopy room every ten minutes to take a picture. However, we built a LEGO robot controlling the microscope which could take the measurements and give our team lots of time to work on other interesting things.
