Scalable Fog Net Test Unit: Effortless and Low-Cost Design Our innovative design minimizes parts and eliminates screws for easy assembly in the field. With just a spike plate, sledge hammer, and optional concrete, the unit can be customized to suit ground conditions. Assembly pins are made through basic drilling/shaping/forging, while mounting clips use die-cast pieces with springs. For strength, 50mm square steel tubing is recommended, but can be altered for weight or cost savings. The design supports single unit testing up to multiple screens in a horizontal array. The water collector snaps into place and features a narrow profile to prevent debris contamination. Screens are easily installed with triple-springed mounting clips that provide an aggressive hold on the tubing. For flow rate measurement, a laser optical switch is installed at the top of each end of the collector box. Each water drop blocks the light beam and triggers a counter inside the receiver box, allowing for easy drip rate measurements. Solar cells can be added to power the units, reducing maintenance costs further.
