Evaporator Art Project
Posted by Eric, under Art, Waste ManagementI thought I could combine our evaporation pond and my fascination with the New York subway. It may also fit into the theme since it’s a fairly iconic structure. The railing provides a nice structure to hang the evaporator screen from and the handrails act as reservoirs and plumbing. The globe and the sign will be lit for night time visibility. Being fairly two dimensional, it will be easier to pack on the roof of the rv. Depending on what liquids end up in it, it may even recreate the smells of the subway.
Where’s the pond part? Mmm, subway smell.
It’ll probably be a shallow trough under the railing. I’d like to use a 5 gal bucket, but then there are issues with the lower railing backing up and spilling over when the pump shuts off.
I love the aethetic. Art meets function.
Do you think we should shut it off in high winds? There is a potential of creating a piss rain storm….
About the pond, perhaps we can create a large bladder under the RV. The volume will be fairly high.
The one benefit of the round design was that you could drape a shower curtain around 3/4 of it to keep the spray down. Do we just border the whole thing with plastic so no one gets wet? How do we keep that from being ugly? I suppose it could be fabric and not plastic.
