Description
Price is exclusive of solar cell.
Available as a submersible or semi-submersible type.
This is pump has a magnetic drive and a curve-blade impeller. The motor is isolated from water inside the pump. The semi-submersible pump can be converted into a submersible pump.
The pump can be used like a multi-meter. Simply place a ruler behind the vertical piece of tubing and record height of water in relation to intensity of light on solar cell. The water height will vary light intensity i.e. volts and amps output of the cell. Of course, it would be ideal to have a way to measure light intensity.
You could use an artificial light source – but would need to hold bulb close (careful!) to the solar cell collection area. Opportunity to link to a data collection computer unit or device.
