View Full Version : Another WaterFall Reservoir

This will be the third commissioned waterfall res I have made in the past 30 days lol...
Have a look
Kennymester from OverClock ordered another waterfall reservoir.
Here's the pictorial.
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4921/pict9016gy8.jpg
Using Ken's Sketchup drawing I made my cut list. When making something that needs 100% perfect alignment it is critical to make all the cuts of the same dimension with tghe same set for the saw at one time. This is also the most time efficient way to proceed.
http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/1564/pict9017et3.jpg
Everything comes out of these pairs of strips cut to 5-1/16" wide and 4-27/32" wide.
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/3713/pict9018ms6.jpg
Here are all the parts I will need.
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/4338/pict9019sb3.jpg
Before I can glue anmything up I need to tap a number of ports into the panels...Ken loves reservoirs with lots and lots of ports...this way if I screw up a port I can simply remake the panel form leftover material already cut to width.
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/6751/pict9020xj6.jpg
My tablesaw fence makes a handy 90 degree angle to work from for the first joint.
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/7483/pict9021ud6.jpg
Using a capillary appplicator I fuse each joint\ with water-thin solvent.
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8369/pict9022xi1.jpg
It is imperative to have true 90 degree corners and perfectly straight and flat and perpendicular edges...each piece also has tgo be exactly the same width.
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/5360/pict9023vx5.jpg
http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9728/pict9024lu5.jpg
http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4360/pict9025gx2.jpg
It's pretty chilly today and the solvent is actually frosting up the needle on the applicator...
http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/8782/pict9026lu3.jpg
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/1029/pict9027dj9.jpg
http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/3899/pict9028lx4.jpg
I know it's going well when each part fits precisely...but it's one of those things where you can always screw up at the end...
Before I can seal up the reservoir I need to drill and tap the mounting holes and then place a trip of acrylic on the interior over the holes....
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2755/pict9029ca5.jpg
Last piece in place. All the joints are fused...
http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/6337/pict9030cd7.jpg
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/7024/pict9031as0.jpg
There are a number of small smudges and runs that get sanded and polished out...except for the ones in the interior ;) but once filled with liquid they will dissappear.
http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/310/pict9032qh6.jpg
http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/1856/pict9033xt8.jpg
http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3518/pict9034ui5.jpg
And that's it for tonight. I will let it cure over night and then work on buffing it. Another Kennymester designed WaterFall reservoir.

Dam thats a nice reservoir.. How u gonna keep that cool though?
CyberDruid
04-06-2008, 11:45 PM
Heh
Well Kenny has this gigantic Server case he modded and this is to replace an even larger reservoir he designed and I built...lol.
I flow tested the other one and it had a few issues that I think Kenny solved. One was the "pond" for the pickup needs to be deep to avoid suctioning air. The last res had a tendency to form a whirlpool intermittently and gulp in air.
The second issue was the falls splashing so much liquid on the face of the res that you could not even see inside, that and a fog of condensation forming on the interior.
You really do not want to churn the fluid as this will introduce air: good for fish, bad for cooling.
This design has fewer ledges and edge for the fluid to negotiate so there should be less splashing and foaming and fogging...
I'll test it out tomorrow with some lights and post up the results on Youtube.

+1 here lol.. Like DD, I'm thinking of water and want something different! Plus same case!
DanishDevil
04-07-2008, 12:19 AM
You got a Cosmos S too? Sweetness!
I just took apart the door, because the side fan is too noisy for me (I know, I'm a freak...I'm RMAing my DFI for a sound emission that's only audible if you're 2ft from the case with all fans off...) and it's just held in by the pressure of the mesh panel which is held by aluminum (bars?) which include the rotating thing to put the door on. I'd probably want something that went flush with the panel and screwed in with the existing 4 screws. It would be a hell of a job, but well worth it for the look of the case.
Any way to make plexi contoured like the mesh? That would be amazing. Probably not without heating it up and pressing it...
Cold Storm
04-07-2008, 12:21 AM
Dang it.. I forgot you have the S... lol... nope, regular one for me.. yet same front end.. lol..
DanishDevil
04-07-2008, 12:23 AM
Yeah. I just took some pics of the side panel. If he says he can make it, I'll post 'em up. I'd want to be able to just pop it into the existing side panel, because one that I saw online was a rounded rectangle window, and I'm just not okay with that LMAO!
CyberDruid
04-07-2008, 12:31 AM
Do the S and the 1000 have the same front panel? I am working on a Cosmos 1000 now and could use it to template that.
Materials for a res are cheap...maybe $15
DanishDevil
04-07-2008, 12:40 AM
Not sure if the front panels are the same once the Cosmos's door is off.

Cold Storm
04-07-2008, 01:14 AM
It shows as being the same for both.. Just a normal Drive Bay. So I believe it can fit most... I have 3 bays that need filling.. and Feel the same as you on it! I took my front door off because of the dust that gets on the front bezels...

if it costs you about $15, what would you charge on top for building it?
And would you ship to the UK? :D

CyberDruid
04-07-2008, 02:49 PM
Well guys pricing this stuff is problematic. The more of them I make the faster I go and the cheaper they could be priced...especially if I can farm pieces out to be laser cut for quick assembly...
But when it comes to building prototypes to spec it's costly. And I prefer to handle that on a case by case basis (pun intended).
Materials I use are 1/4" acrylic (cast) Acrylic solvent/adhesive (water-thin) and a capillary applicator. What is not shown here is the tedious hand-dressing of each edge before assembly. That will require a perfectly flat surface (like a table saw) and some PSA sanding disks ranging from 120 to 220 for the edges and then hand sanding paper up to 400. You will also need a way to polish the parts...a benchgrinder with a flap wheel and rouge is ideal.
Cold Storm
04-07-2008, 09:08 PM
Well CD, For something like that, I wouldn't mind paying anything really...Well, there is a price, but I really don't think you'd go that high. lol.. YGPM
Cuzza
04-07-2008, 09:24 PM
Having those perfect edges is only necessary for water-tightness right? If it was just a case you wouldn't bother? I've been considering making myself a custom case out of acrylic, even drew up a 3d model of it. check it out onthis thread (http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=40480). If I ever get around to it I might ask you for some tips CyberDruid.

In my case! :D Very nice work. I love the concept.
Edit: Just had an idea. Make one with ribbed plexi (you could do it with a bunch of small pieces) going down the front bay of a CM Cosmos or somthing. That would be amazing. Like those trickling fountains in businesses and such.

04-07-2008, 11:24 PM
Would there be a way to temporarily attach internal peices for testing? A proto type box for playing with internal designs would come in handy. The outer shell could have a standard size with a lid that could be removed with screws (similar to the mounting method you used in the photo but on the inside at the top with screw holes opening up would be simple. For the internals there could be a plethera of drilled and tapped holes on the sides of the shell(may not need to be tapped, depends on plugs and testing pressure). It would be alot of drilling and tapping but the end result would net you a test rig with a multitude of options for setting up internals.

Hey mate
Was just reading your thread on the custom res' you make. neat job by the way.
I am aviation engineer and a lot of the helicopters we get in all have plexiglass windows, similar to the stuff your working with. We rub this chemical on the exteriors of the windows to stop water from "sticking" to the outside of the window as most of the choppers do not have window wipers.
The stuff we use is very similar to Rainx that people use on glass windows in their cars.
Maybe if you can get hold of something similar and use in on the interior of your res' it may help quite a bit as the water beads and "falls" off the plastic. therefore eliminating condensation and splashes on the front panel making the waterfall effect easier to see.
Might help might not :)

res is the width of a standard DVD drive or w/e. It's 3 bays in height and 8" long. Kenny wanted lots of ports. Obviously less ports=less work and smaller=less material.

Just got off the phone with Virginia Industrial Plastics...talk about a wet dream...6 axis 5 axis and three axis routers, laser cutter and etching, vacuum forming of almost any kind of plastic.
And the owner is a VIR racing his motorcycle today :)
My kind of hook up. He was an instructor at Cornerspeed.net and we talked about getting me going on some trackdays...
So what I am going to do is make up some drawings and cut up the parts and label them and drive over to Elkton and talk with them in person and get a quote so I can see if this is feasible.
I'll design it so the height is easy to change and the internal parts are all the same dimensions and make up sets for 2, 3 and 4 bay units.
More on this as I progress.

Ok in my bay area, I have a radiator there. A DVD ROM and 1 5 1/4 fit right into it with no room to spare. I was wondering if I could do this but have the bottom not take all of the space in the back that his has so my radiator would still fit where it goes.
The red is the in flow and the blue is the out flow. It would have to come up in a space between where the two goes into a cut out more or less.
Does it make sense now?

i was talking about this...: http://reference.techpowerup.com/Bong_cooling not bong cooling as in getting some weed and :pimp:
cause its got the waterfall and its got the water condensing all over the glass and im thinking that it might be a performance enhancement based on the bong cooling ideology cause you've got the hotter water molecules evaporating and and then later condensing on the glass while the cooler molecules run in the closed system loop. however, im wondering if that if the effect is there, maybe a small hole with a filter on top where the water doesn't go might do some good? it would let the water vapor escape while keeping out dust and other contaminates and keep the system still mostly a closed system. of course the reservoris are quite large and so water for the bong cooling effect wouldn't need to be replaced so much you know. just a thought.

thats classic bong cooling! the waterfall is producing the bong cooling effect, and you can see the water evaporating and rising rapidly through the water and looking for a place to escape at the top, and then you can see it recondensing, to become hot water that just dropped under 100C, if you let the water vapor escape, you'd loose much of the heat contained the water, as the hotter molecules will become even hotter with the many waterfalls making the number of collisions higher in the water (thus causing high temps) and giving it more surface area, so that you get more evaporation etc. and then you have the water vapor escaping through the top of the res while you're left with cooler water molecules at the bottom. the res's are preety big and would be able to go for a while, this likes a sweet method of bong cooling in a box and could really help ocers if it ever works!

I got you panch. So in theory it would take a smaller rad to cool down the water thats in the loop.
wikipedia: "A bong cooler can be a replacement for the radiator in a watercooled computer. The sub-ambient temperatures that are achieved in the bong cooler are more effective at cooling than the above ambient water temperature in a radiator"
tpu wiki: "Bong cooling is much more effective than radiators for removing large volumes of heat from water, which makes it especially suited for use with TEC loops. The increased performance allows more powerful pumps to be used."
and if this is small-bong-cooling-in-a-box, it may just become a cooling revolution, might make loops that require 360 rads to only require 120 or 240.. looks mad effective form the pics, and we could always add more waterfalls to really make this more effective and if it works...
CyberDruid
04-09-2008, 01:35 PM
There is one factor of Bong Cooling you overlooked. You MUST have a fan or a very long fall... And you must have an open system...no such thing as a closed loop bong cooler: the cooling is all from Evap. Conservation of energy and all that...you will need to introduce the cooling element: which can be fresh air the water falls through (5 feet minimum) or a fan blowing fresh air into the fall or both.
That and a horde of Frat Boys crashing into your room...looking for the bong...
panchoman
04-09-2008, 09:16 PM
well like i said, add a hole at the top for the air to escape and you can always mount a fan there, as for the drop... the falls appear to simulate the atomization of it sort of you know.

For the bong cooling effect, the fluid should expose to an open heat exchange such as the air in the room so dispersed water exchange heat with the air, and a direct contact between the water particles and the air outside (which also jacks up humidity)., don't expect the acrylic shell to do that.

I was replying to someone in the previous page who thought that waterfall box provides some sort of bong-cooling effect.
You could stick a sheet of kitchen-foil to the base-plate of the reservoir from the outside, it would give a groovy reflective effect to the lighting. If you're placing the cathodes below the reservoir, try to improvize the same on the plate with the holes for the tubing (back plate) instead.

Yeah man crinkled foil would do the trick...
I simply adhere the lamps to the res..nothing to it.
The vids are a little deceptive because you only will see the front panel...not the side...so the effect of the lights is indirect and very pleasant...and of course there is always the off switch...

A reflection provided from behind the waterfall provides better coloring to the falling water than if the cathodes were just placed below it. Sort of like the coloured fountains you have in amusement parks.

Nice work. The question I have is does this make a lot of noise? It's hard to tell from the youtube videos with the music...
BTW, your musical tastes are about as eclectic as mine... :toast:

It's not loud. The fluid doesn't gush or splash really.

I think if there was a dual-bay version, a lot more people would be interested.

so if you're ready to start doing this on a wider scale...what sort of price could you derive from the costs you've started?
three-bay :) please haha
CyberDruid

When I get a few assembled this weekend I will be adding them to the online catalog.
I will be asking $100 for the Three Bay. I will have a two bay cut soon. I want to see how these move first.
Exavier
04-19-2008, 06:54 PM
hmm...with shipping + customs ripoff :shadedshu I'd be paying nearer to $160
..cry..
if you make some three-bay models, can you weigh it for me? I can evaluate shipping better, might be less, charge was based off my Corsair HX620 :(
This is coming far from the original custom-order methodology...props, CD :)

I think it can be shipped for $27 express international. It only weighs about a pound.
IF (and this is a big if) I can start moving these through my favorite Vendors (like Petras, Performance PCs, JAB, FrozenCPU etc...) The price will drop due to the volume. There is a $100 set up fee for each run. And I only had them cut as many as possible from a single 4' x 8' sheet because I want to see how they sell. If I see a real market I can increase the number per run and decrease my cost.

I haven't seem one and am not sure if the idea has been suggested. Why not build the waterfall res into the window panel?:)
a long wide fall with a viewing section sealed off with in the fall somewhere...
