About Our Product

GyroThermo.90° is a water surveyor which measures water surface temperature constantly in a lawn mower pattern.

Prominent Features

GyroThermo.90° can be controlled automatically or manually with bluetooth. Under auto mode, GyroThermo.90° will move in a lawn mower pattern. Under manual mode, we can control GyroThermo.90° to go to any specific location.

Calculation

2 x Extrusion Bars                                                    =0.223kg

2 x Acrylic Base                                                       =0.210kg

2 x Motor                                                                  = 0.298kg

Electrical Casing (Tupperware)                                =0.157kg

Infrared Sensor                                                         =0.011kg

Infrared Sensor Cap                                                  =0.012kg

2 x Motor Bracket                                                     =0.090 kg

45 degree Pipe                                                           =0.021kg

Electronic Components                                             =0.412kg

TOTAL WEIGHT = 1.434kg

Using Formula:

V= 1.434/1000

   =0.001434 m^3

VOLUME NEEDED= 0.1434 cm^3

Giving 20% extra tolerance:

Volume x 120%

=1.434 x 1.2

VOLUME NEEDED =1720.8 cm^3

Pipe Radius Needed:

Πr2h=  1720.8

Πr2(23)=  1720.8

RADIUS OF PIPE NEEDED= 4.88cm

Hence, we choose the pipe with radius 4cm which is diameter 80 mm.
